Segment Information [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Note 15 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC Topic 280: Segment Reporting establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment and the accounting policies applied to the operating segment are the same as those described in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the senior executive committee that includes the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. They review the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. The measure of segment performance is based on consolidated net income (loss) as reported on the statement of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.

The following table reconciles segment profit or loss to consolidated net income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations:

The CODM uses net income (loss) to monitor budget versus actual results, assess performance and how to allocate resources. The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and interest earned on the Company’s interest-bearing accounts. General and administrative and research and development expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to meet current and future needs, which include working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate services. Primary working capital requirements are for project execution and development of the Company’s technology which includes purchases of materials, services, payroll and development of market and strategic relationships with other businesses and customers. The CODM reviews interest earned to measure cash inflow and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the interest-bearing accounts while maintaining compliance with the Company’s investment policy. Additionally, the CODM reviews the company’s investment in AirJoule, LLC for material changes including potential impairment resulting from events or changes in circumstances indicating that a decline in value has occurred that is other than temporary.
