Subsequent Events [Text Block] |  |  |  |  | Subsequent Events ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”), establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 requires the Company to evaluate events that occur after the balance sheet date through the date the Company’s financial statements are issued and to determine whether adjustments to or additional disclosures in the financial statements are necessary. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. As discussed in Note 1, Description of Business, on July 1, 2016, HGI Energy entered into the Compass Sale Agreement. As discussed in Note 4, Divestitures, the Company’s interest in Compass met all of the held for sale criteria established by ASC 360 on July 1, 2016, subsequent to the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2016. The disposal represents all of the oil and gas properties that are accounted for using the full-cost method and the operations of Compass will be presented as discontinued operations starting in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2016. The following table summarizes the components of Compass’ assets and liabilities included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015:
