SEGMENT INFORMATION [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 18. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have three reportable business segments: (1) Corporate; (2) USA, which manufactures and distributes SRB in various granulations along with other products derived from rice bran via proprietary and patented enzyme treatment processes; and (3) Brazil, which extracts crude RBO and DRB from rice bran, which are then further processed into a number of valuable human food and animal nutrition products.  The Corporate segment includes selling, general and administrative expenses including public company expenses, litigation, and other expenses not directly attributable to other segments.  No Corporate allocations are made to the other segments.  General corporate interest is not allocated.

The table below presents segment information for the years identified and provides a reconciliation of segment information to total consolidated information (in thousands).
