Business Segment Information
Note 9: Business Segment Information

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes disclosure standards for segments of a company based on management’s approach to defining operating segments.  Reportable segments are defined primarily by the nature of products and services, the nature of the production processes, and the type of customers for our products and services.

In accordance with the objective and basic principles of the standard the Company has aggregated it operating segments into one reportable segment: medical devices With the acquisition of VSCI on the last day of the fiscal year 2015, the Company will determine its reportable segment(s) during fiscal 2016 as it establishes its reporting structures and how the company's chief operating decision-maker will evaluate performance, make operating decisions and allocate resources for the combined entity.
