| 23. | SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
From June 2015, the Company announced that it has successfully transitioned from a traditional seed company to a biotechnology seed company and is now organized into two business lines: agri-biotech and product development and production and distribution of hybrid seeds. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that require different technology and marketing strategies and offer different products and services. The primary income (loss) measure used for assessing segment performance and making operating decisions is income (loss) from operations (i.e., earnings before non-operating income (expenses), interest and income taxes). The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, receives and reviews the results of the operations of each separate segment, assesses and manages their performance and makes decisions based on the measures of revenues, cost of revenues, gross profit, operating expenses, net and income (loss) from operations. Other than the information provided below, the Company’s chief operating decision maker does not use any other measures by segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. Following a change in the identification of the Company’s reportable segments as aforementioned, the Company has also presented the corresponding items of segment information for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 for comparative purposes. Net revenues, income (loss) from operations and total assets of the Company’s reportable segments are as follows:
