Note 13 – Business Segment and Geographic Area Information

 

Business Segments

 

The Company operates in two reportable segments: Hearing Enhancement and Protection and Hair and Skin Care. The segments are determined based on the nature of the products sold and how the business is managed. On May 5, 2025, the Company incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary, Sharper Vision Marketing Inc., which did not have any material activity for the year ended May 31, 2025.

 

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based primarily on a segment profit measure referred to as Segment non-cash operating income, which the Company has concluded is the measure of segment profitability. This non-GAAP measure is defined as operating income from segment operations before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and corporate expenses. Corporate expenses primarily include insurance, expenses related to operating as a public company—including fees paid to related parties for executive management services—corporate office rent, and stock-based compensation for management.

 

The CODM reviews Segment non-cash operating income for each segment regularly to assess performance and to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

 

A reconciliation of Segment non-cash operating income to the most directly comparable measure under U.S. GAAP is Income from Operations and is included in the table below.

 

The Company’s segment information is as follows:
