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) that 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, 2017.
The results of operations for the
three
and
nine
months ended
August 31, 2018
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 2018.
 
During the
second
quarter of fiscal
2018,
the Company liquidated its investment in its Canadian subsidiary by selling off remaining inventory and filing dissolution paperwork for the Canadian entity. Prior to that liquidation and dissolution, the financial books of the Company’s Canadian operations were kept in the functional currency of Canadian dollars and the financial statements were converted to U.S. Dollars for consolidation. When consolidating the financial results of the Company into U.S. Dollars for reporting purposes, the Company used 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 quarter end. Stockholders’ equity was translated at historical exchange rates and retained earnings were translated at an average exchange rate for the period. Additionally, revenue and expenses were translated at average exchange rates for the periods presented. The resulting cumulative translation adjustment was carried on the balance sheet and was recorded in stockholders’ equity. Following the liquidation and dissolution of the Company’s investment in its Canadian subsidiary the cumulative translation adjustment carried on the balance sheet was released into net income and the financial statements will
no
longer need translation each period. Since
no
income tax benefit will be received from the foreign equity sale, the cumulative translation adjustment has
not
been tax adjusted.
 
Sales-Type Leases
 
The Company leases modular buildings to certain customers and accounts for these transactions as sales-type leases. These leases have terms of up to
36
months and are collateralized by a security interest in the related modular building. The lessee has a bargain purchase option available at the end of the lease term. A minimum lease receivable is recorded net of unearned interest income and profit on sale at the time the Company’s obligation to the lessee is complete. Profit related to the sale of the building is recorded upon fulfillment of the Company’s obligation to the lessee.
 
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
nine
months ended
August 31, 2018.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
