Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
General
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and with the
instructions for Form 10-K and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the SEC. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. The
results of operations for interim or transition periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year. We apply the following
critical accounting policies in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
