Reportable Segment
The Company operates as one operating segment and therefore one reportable segment, focused on integrated solutions to customers based on its proprietary technology. The determination of the Company’s reportable segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting for future periods. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer.
The Company’s single operating segment generates revenues from its three business lines: (1) biorefining, (2) JDA, contract research, and (3) CarbonSmart sales, all of which share the Company’s technology platforms, research and development infrastructure, and operational resources. Operations and strategies are centralized across the business lines and geographic regions. While the Company operates in various countries, its financial results and operations are viewed on a global basis.
The CODM primarily uses revenue and net loss as reported on the consolidated statements of operations, as the measure of profit or loss to allocate resources during the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM also uses
consolidated net loss, along with financial and non-financial inputs, to evaluate the Company’s performance, and make strategic decisions related to headcount and capital expenditures on a consolidated basis.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. The CODM does not review segment assets at a level other than that presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
