Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]	Leases Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. For our operating leases for which the rate implicit in the lease is not may Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued liabilities and operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Uncertain tax position accounting standards apply to all tax positions related to income taxes. These accounting standards utilize a two not not not Tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first not" no not"
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
