On January 3, 2017, $1.8 June 29, 2017. $0.1 second 2017, l) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 those estimates. m) Comprehensive income Total comprehensive income represents the change in equity during a period from sources other than transactions with shareholders and, as such, includes net earnings.

In 2016, March 31, 2018, 3,507,469 2013 The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for all awards granted to employees, which is based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock compensation awards requires the input of certain highly complex and subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock compensation awards and the Company’s common stock price volatility, risk free interest rate and dividend rate. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company deems it necessary to use different assumptions, stock compensation expense could be materially different from what has been recorded in the current period. p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, 2016 02 December 15, 2018. not In March 2016, 2016 09, 718 December 15, 2016. fourth 2016 January 1, 2016. no March 31, 2017 2018.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment.
