Segment Information

24. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in two segments: Electronic Components and Others for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. These segments are operated and managed as separate strategic business units that offer different products/services. The Company’s “Electronic Components” segment produces complementary metal oxide semiconductors (“CMOS”) CCMs primarily for sale to cellular phone and tablet manufacturers in the PRC. The Company’s “Others” segment comprises a number of immaterial product lines and development programs that have not materialized to date into full product businesses. None of these units has ever individually met the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the results of each segment in assessing performance and allocating resources among the segments.

There were no material intersegment sales or transfers during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

As stated in note 18 – “Discontinued Operations”, the EMS and home appliance segments were discontinued effective in December 2013 and January 2012 respectively. The results of operations of the EMS segment and home appliance segment have been classified as “Income (Loss) from discontinued operations” on the face of the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for all years presented. The home appliance segment profit for fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 represented sales of equipment and materials that had previously been written off.
