SEGMENT FINANCIAL INFORMATION

   
 

The Group determines segments based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance.

 

The Group’s operations are mainly classified into two principal reportable segments that provide different products or services: commercial properties leasing, and the purchase and sale of goods, which we refer to as trading. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different marketing, operation, and technology strategies.

Accounting policies of the transactions between segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Performance is measured by various factors such as segment revenue and segment profit. Individual segment assets are not measurement reviewed by management. All corporate expenses and income tax expenses are allocated to the segments.
