Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

 (13)            Segment and Geographical Information

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, (“ASC Topic 280”). ASC 280, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products, major customers and the geographies in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. An operating segment is defined as a component that engages in business activities whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and for which discrete financial information is available. Based on the provisions of ASC 280, the Company has determined that it operates in one segment. The Company manages its resources and assesses its performance on an enterprise-wide basis. The Company’s product groups qualify for aggregation under ASC 280 due to their similarities in customer base, economic characteristics, and the nature of products and services provided.
