17. Segmented Information

The Company has two reportable segments: gastrointestinal clinical services and addiction and rehabilitation treatments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (See Note 3). The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including non-recurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology, specialists and marketing strategies.
