Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company accrued $0.1 million (MXP 2.5 million) in the consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2018 as a probable obligation for the disallowance of value added taxes related to a Mexican tax reassessment originally received in December 2010. Further details of the reassessment are disclosed in Note 22 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
