Note 7: Segments

 

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available to the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company markets and develops advanced municipal and industrial wastewater treatment and carbon reducing clean energy technologies. The Company currently generates almost all of its revenues from the sale and application of its water treatment technologies. Revenues from its clean energy technologies have been limited to grants received from governmental and other agencies for continued development. In 2009, the Company established BTCC, a joint venture with Babcock Power Development, LLC, for the purpose of developing and commercializing the Company’s clean energy technology. Because revenues and costs related to the Company’s clean energy technologies is immaterial to the entire Company taken as a whole, the financial information presented in these financial statements represents all the material financial information related to the Company’s water treatment technologies.

 

The Company’s operations are currently conducted solely in the United States. The Company will continue to evaluate how its business is managed and, as necessary, adjust the segment reporting accordingly.
