SEGMENT INFORMATION [Abstract] |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | NOTE 11 – SEGMENT INFORMATION Because of the methods used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) to allocate resources, the Company has identified two operating segments which meet GAAP segment disclosure requirements, namely the water and wastewater resource development segment and the land development segment. The water and wastewater resource development business includes selling water services to customers, which water is provided by the Company using water rights owned or controlled by the Company, and developing infrastructure to divert, treat and distribute that water and collect, treat and reuse wastewater. The land development segment includes all the activities necessary to develop and sell finished lots, which as of and for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, was done exclusively at the Company’s Sky Ranch Master Planned Community. Oil and gas operations, although material in certain years, are deemed a passive activity as the CODM does not actively allocate resources to these projects; therefore, this is not classified as a reportable segment. The tables below present the measure of profit and assets the CODM uses to assess the performance of the segment for the periods presented:
