text: **Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**
  Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and 
  capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements. To prepare our 
  consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally 
  accepted in the United States of America, we must make estimates and assumptions 
  that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. We 
  regularly evaluate these estimates and assumptions, particularly in areas we consider 
  to be critical accounting estimates, where changes in the estimates and assumptions 
  could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash 
  flows. Senior management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have 
  reviewed the disclosures included herein about our critical accounting estimates, 
  and have reviewed the processes to determine those estimates.
