Segment Information |
10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We follow the accounting guidance of ASC 280 “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). Reportable operating segments are determined based on the management approach. The management approach, as defined by ASC 280, is based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. While our results of operations are primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating decision-maker manages the enterprise in five reportable segments, each with different operating and potential revenue generating characteristics: (i) CAR-T Therapeutics, (ii) Cancer Vaccines, (iii) Anti-Viral Therapeutics, (iv) Cancer Diagnostics and (v) our legacy Patent Licensing activities. The following represents selected financial information for our segments for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 and as of January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020:
Operating costs and expenses excluding non-cash share-based compensation is the measurement the chief operating decision-maker uses in managing the enterprise.
The Company’s consolidated revenue of $512,500 and inventor royalties, contingent legal fees, litigation and licensing expense of $385,002 for the three months ended January 31, 2021 were solely related to our patent licensing segment which consists of our encrypted audio/video conference calling technology. All our revenue is generated domestically (United States) based on the country in which the licensee is located. |
