Operating Segments


In accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, the Company defines an operating segment as a business activity:


from which we may earn revenue and incur expenses;

whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and

for which discrete financial information is available.


The Company currently has two reporting segments, which are based on a service offering approach. This however, excludes corporate headquarters, which does not generate revenue, our discontinued operations, which includes all facilities as discussed in “Note 4 – Divestiture and Discontinued Operations and Divestitures”, and PF Medical S.A., a developmental entity whose primary purpose at this time is the research and development and marketing of medical isotope technology used in medical diagnostic testing (which is not generating any revenues).


Our reporting segments are defined as follows:


TREATMENT SEGMENT, which includes:


 

-

nuclear, low-level radioactive, mixed waste (containing both hazardous and low-level radioactive constituents), hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment, processing and disposal services primarily through four uniquely licensed and permitted treatment and storage facilities; and


 

-

research and development activities to identify, develop and implement innovative waste processing techniques for problematic waste streams.


SERVICES SEGMENT, which includes:


 

-

On-site waste management services to commercial and government customers;


 

-

Technical services, which include:


 

o

Such services capability includes: project investigation; radiological engineering; partial and total plant D&D; facility decontamination, dismantling, demolition, and planning; site restoration; site construction; logistics; transportation; and emergency response; and
