NOTE 19 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

ASC 280, Disclosures about Segments, of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incurred expenses, and about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-marker, or decision-making group( the “CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance.

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (Mr. Xiaobin Liu) is determined as the CODM of the Company, Mr Liu measures the performance of each segment based on metrics of revenue and profit before taxes from operations and uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources to each of the segments. The Company has organized operations into four different business segments: (1) bromine, (2) crude salt, (3) chemical products, (4) natural gas.
