| Segment Reporting [Text Block] |
In accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting," the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or CODM, has been identified as its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The CODM reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company and utilizes gross profit and income from operations to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment as incurred by each reportable segment. The Company allocates a small portion of corporate expenses from the Agricultural Products segment to the Modular Buildings segment monthly for administrative support services provided.
The Company has two reportable segments: Agricultural Products and Modular Buildings. The Agricultural Products segment manufactures and sells farm equipment and related replacement parts under the Art’s-Way Manufacturing label. The Modular Buildings segment manufactures and installs modular buildings for various uses, commonly animal containment and research laboratories under the Art's Way Scientific and Evolution Modular labels.
The accounting policies applied to determine the segment information are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Management evaluates the performance of each segment based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes, exclusive of nonrecurring gains and losses.
Approximate financial information with respect to the reportable segments is as follows.
