USE OF ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and related disclosure. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to non-marketable securities. We base our estimates on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to actual outcomes being different from those on which we based our assumptions. These estimates and judgments are reviewed by management on an ongoing basis and by our board of directors at the end of each quarter prior to the public release of our financial results.

As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report, we believe there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three ended June 30, 2021 compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the SEC. Additional information about these critical accounting policies may be found in the "Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Trends and Uncertainties

Termination of Historical Business Lines

Since winding down the Company's traditional lines of business, Management and the Board of Directors have been seeking appropriate business opportunities for the Company. The Company's cash assets are invested in corporate securities and demand deposit accounts. If the Company does not find an operating entity to combine with, and if its assets are not invested in certain types of securities (primarily government securities), it may be deemed to be an investment company under the terms of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
