Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Segment Reporting, page F-7
2.We have reviewed your response to comment 1 and note that your Hard Parts operating
segment consists of rotating electrical products, wheel hub products, brake-related
products, and turbochargers.  We further note that you quantify net sales for the first three
product categories on page F-27 and that each category significantly contributed to your
net sales.  In addition, we note from recent earnings call transcripts that management
appears to monitor gross margins of these product lines and that the product categories
have different gross margin profiles.  As an example, during the second quarter earnings
call held November 9, 2022, management indicated that brake-related gross margins
currently "are lower than some of the legacy products."  Please tell us how you
determined that none of the Hard Parts product lines represent operating segments.  In
doing so, ensure that you provide us with the following information:

•Tell us the title and describe the role of each individual who reports to your Chief
Operating Decision Maker ("CODM").

•Tell us how often the CODM meets with his direct reports, the financial information
the CODM reviews to prepare for those meetings, the financial information discussed
in those meetings, and who else attends those meetings.

•Tell us who, if anyone, is held accountable for the product lines within Hard Parts
and the titles and roles of the persons these individuals report to in the organization.

•Describe the information regularly provided to the CODM and how frequently it is
prepared.

•Describe the information regularly provided to the Board of Directors and how
frequently it is prepared.

•Explain how budgets are prepared, who approves the budget at each step of the
process, the level of detail discussed at each step, and the level at which the CODM
makes changes to the budget.

•Describe the level of detail communicated to the CODM when actual results differ
from budgets and who is involved in meetings with the CODM to discuss budget-to-
actual variances.

•Describe the basis for determining the compensation for each of the individuals that
report to the CODM.

•Considering the significance of the rotating electrical, wheel hub, and brake-related
sales in relation to your Test Solutions and Diagnostic Equipment and Heavy Duty

operating segments, explain why, if true, the CODM regularly reviews the less
significant operating segments but not the more significant Hard Parts product lines.

accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
