2.	Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

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 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.

Stock-Based Compensation

All options outstanding relating to the Company’s stock-based compensation plan either were exercised or expired during 2013. Accordingly, no options to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2013. The stock-based compensation plan expired in May 2003, except as to options outstanding. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10-30, the Company accounts for awards of equity instruments at their grant date fair value with the stock-based compensation cost expensed ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. There were no employee stock-based awards granted or vested during 2013 and 2012.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalent in U.S.-denominated amounts with what it believes to be credit-worthy U.S. financial institutions. However, cash and cash equivalent balances exceed FDIC insured levels at various times during the year.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments, which have original maturities at the date of purchase of three-months or less. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.

Investments

Under certain criteria as provided for in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, “Consolidation,” the Company may consolidate a partially-owned affiliate. To determine whether to consolidate a partially-owned affiliate, the Company first determines if the entity is a variable interest entity (VIE). An entity is considered to be a VIE if it has one of the following characteristics: 1) the entity is thinly capitalized; 2) residual equity holders do not control the entity; 3) equity holders are shielded from economic losses or do not participate fully in the entity’s residual economics; or 4) the entity was established with non-substantive voting. If the entity meets one of these characteristics, the Company then determines if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The party with the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the potential to absorb benefits or losses that could be significant to the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. Three Lions meets the definition of a variable interest entity as the total equity investment at risk in Three Lions is not sufficient to permit Three Lions to finance its activities without further subordinated financial support by any parties, including the equity holders.

The excess of the cost of the Company’s investment in Three Lions over the amount of the Company’s underlying equity in the net assets of Three Lions is recognized as equity method goodwill which is not amortized. Equity method goodwill is not reported as goodwill in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, but instead is disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. However, at least annually, the Company assesses if there has been an other-than-temporary impairment in the carrying value of its Three Lions investment by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from Three Lions with the carrying value of this investment. In performing this analysis, the Company also considers factors such as current results, trends and future prospects, in addition to other economic factors.

Another investment of the Company is designated as available-for-sale in accordance with the provisions primarily codified under ASC 320-10-25, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities,” and as such, unrealized gains and losses are reported in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of stockholders’ equity. This investment is included in non-current other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes,” which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company records liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, which provides guidance in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken and expected to be taken in a tax return. For tax benefits to be recognized under ASC 740, a tax position must be more likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (loss) per common share have been determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement and a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 provides explicit guidance on presentation in financial statements. The amendment is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to significantly impact its consolidated financial statements.
