CLOSURE
The clinical-stage biotech segment focused on developing and commercializing new therapeutics to alleviate pain. Our clinical focus is to selectively target the sodium ion-channel known as “NaV1.7”, which has been genetically validated as a pain receptor in human physiology. A NaV1.7 blocker is a chemical entity that modulates the structure of the sodium-channel in a way to prevent the transmission of pain perception to the CNS. Our goal is to develop a novel and proprietary class of NaV blockers that target the body’s peripheral nervous system. This segment is currently pre-revenue.

The accounting policies of the clinical-stage biotech segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the clinical-stage biotech segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the statement of operations as consolidated net loss.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.

The chief operating decision maker uses net loss to evaluate spending in deciding how funds should be allocated in preforming the Company’s research and development. Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results.

The Company has one reportable segment: clinical-stage biotech. This segment performs research and development for biotech products. Since the Company only has one segment, the segment information is the same as the consolidated financials.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer, with such individual also holding the position of chief financial officer.
