NOTE 2   INVESTMENTS

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company invested an additional $1.1 million of cash in marketable equity securities.  As of September 30, 2015, the total cost of all marketable equity securities was $1.8 million (December 31, 2014 - $0.7 million). These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value. As at September 30, 2015, the fair value of these securities was $0.8 million, consequently the Company recorded a loss, net of tax, of $1.1 million in other comprehensive income (loss).  The loss is recorded to an unrealized income and loss account (accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)) that is reported as a separate line item in the shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet. The gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are not reported on the statement of operations until the securities are sold or if there is an other than temporary decline in fair value below cost.
