NOTE 3 INVESTMENTS

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company invested an additional $1.1 million of cash in marketable equity securities.  As of December 31, 2015, the total cost of all marketable equity securities was $1.9 million (December 31, 2014 - $0.7 million). These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are valued at fair value. As at December 31, 2015, the fair value of these securities was $1.0 million, consequently the Company recorded a loss, net of tax, of $0.9 million in other comprehensive loss.  The loss is recorded to an unrealized income and loss account (accumulated other comprehensive 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.
