Summary of Significant Account Policies
 
Statement Presentation
 
The foregoing condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the fiscal year ended
November 30, 2016.
The results of operations for the
three
and
six
months ended
May 31, 2017
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 2017.
 
The financial books of our Canadian operation are kept in the functional currency of Canadian dollars and the financial statements are converted to U.S. Dollars for consolidation. When consolidating the financial results of the Company into U.S. Dollars for reporting purposes, the Company uses the All-Current translation method. The All-Current method requires the balance sheet assets and liabilities to be translated to U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate as of period end. Stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates and retained earnings are translated at an average exchange rate for the period. Additionally, revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the periods presented. The resulting cumulative translation adjustment is carried on the balance sheet and is recorded in stockholders’ equity for
2017.
Since the Company believes that it is more likely than
not
that
no
income tax benefit will occur if the foreign equity is sold or liquidated, the cumulative translation adjustment has
not
been tax adjusted.
 
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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
three
and
six
months ended
May 31, 2017.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassification
 
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the Company related to the discontinuation of operations at our Vessels segment have been reclassified to conform to classifications used in the current year. The reclassifications had
no
effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
