SEGMENT INFORMATION [Abstract] |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | 20. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Group's chief operating decision maker has been identified as the chief executive officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group. Following the further expansion of module business and entering into the wafer business in 2011, the Group operated and viewed its performance in three segments. However, on September 28, 2012, the module business was disposed (see Note 4). Therefore, only two segments in 2012 and the segment information in prior years were restated to be consistent with the current year reportable segments. The following tables summarized the Company's revenue and cost generated from different revenue streams. Substantially all of its revenues are derived in the PRC. The Group's long-lived assets and operations are substantially all located in the PRC. The following table summarized the Group's revenue by segment:
