10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Since December 22, 2015, the Company reports its operations as one segment, molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics. The Company’s reporting segment structure is reflective of the way both the Company’s management and chief operating decision maker view the business, make operating decisions and assess performance. This structure allows investors to better understand Company performance, better assess prospects for future cash flows, and make more informed decisions about the Company.

 

The Company’s molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics business focuses on developing and commercializing molecular diagnostic tests, leveraging the latest technology and personalized medicine for better patient diagnosis and management. Through the Company’s business, the Company aims to provide physicians and patients with diagnostic options for detecting genetic and other molecular alterations that are associated with gastrointestinal, endocrine and lung cancers, which are principally focused on early detection of patients at high risk of cancer. Customers in the Company’s segment consist primarily of physicians, hospitals and clinics. The service offerings throughout the segment have similar long-term average gross margins, contract terms, types of customers and regulatory environments. They are promoted through one centrally managed marketing group and the chief operating decision maker views their results on a combined basis.
