Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company currently has two reportable business units: Astro Scientific and Astral. Astro Scientific Astro Scientific is a technology incubator that commercializes innovative technologies. Subsidiaries 1st Detect and Astrogenetix currently reside in Astro Scientific: 1st Detect - 1st Detect develops, manufactures, and sells chemical analyzers for use in the airport security, military, and breath analysis markets. Our chemical analyzers can identify chemicals with more accuracy and precision than competing analyzers given their extreme sensitivity and specificity. By leveraging a concept from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a preliminary design initiated by an engagement with NASA to develop a mass spectrometer for the International Space Station, the Company developed a chemical analyzer that enables real-time analytics that we believe to be significantly smaller, lighter, faster, and less expensive than competing analyzers. The majority of revenue in 1st Detect comes from working as a subcontractor on government contracts. The Company works with prime contractors in adapting our technology to be used in enhancing the government’s detection capabilities for a variety of applications. Astrogenetix - Astrogenetix is applying a fast-track, on-orbit discovery platform using the International Space Station to develop vaccines. The Center for Vaccine Development at UMD, one of the leading vaccinology institutions in the world, independently validated our target vaccine for Salmonella through funding provided by NASA. We are currently looking for funding to finance the pursuit of an IND application with the FDA. Astral Astral Images sells film-to-digital conversion, high-dynamic range conversion, image enhancement, defect removal, and color correction services. Astral uses its powerful AI algorithms to provide automated conversion of television and feature 35mm and 16mm films to the new 4K HDR format, the standard for the latest generation of digital film distribution to the home. Due to a significant shift in the film scanning industry, most film assets will need to go through an upgrade to the new standard to remain relevant for over-the-top distribution (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.) as television manufacturers sell more 4K HDR televisions and consumer demand for such content accelerates. Astral is positioned to be a leader in the digital conversion of feature films, film-based television series, sporting events shot on film, film libraries, and film archives. Astral has introduced to the digital conversion market Black ICE™ for the conversion of black and white film, Color ICE™ for the conversion of color film, and HDR ICE™ for the conversion of color film or digital video to the new HDR format. Astral’s platform technology is also being designed to launch a targeted solution that will convert photographs, negatives, and slides to a digital format while employing its AI algorithms to remove defects and restore the color in automation. All intercompany transactions between business units have been eliminated in consolidation. Key financial metrics of the Company’s segments are as follows:
