Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]

11.   Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company is involved in legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Management does not believe that any of these claims and proceedings against it is likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company cannot determine the final amount, if any, of its liability beyond the amount accrued in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015, nor is it possible to estimate what litigation-related costs will be in the future.

For information related to commitments and contingencies related to AUS, a former subsidiary of the Company that was sold in 2009, refer to Note 13, “Discontinued Operations”.
