On September 1, 1999, the Company created a group medical and hospitalization minimum premium insurance program. For the policy year ended August 2017, the Company is liable for all claims each year up to $70,000 per insured, or $1.7 million in the aggregate. An outside insurance company insures any claims in excess of these amounts. The Company’s expense for this minimum premium insurance totaled $0.6 million and $0.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Insurance reserves included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet was approximately $0.13 million. After the sale of the U.S. operations of M&I Electric in August 2018 discussed in Note 16 below, the majority of the Company’s U.S. employees became employees of the Buyer. At that time the Company changed to a fully-insured insurance program therefore there is no further uninsured exposure as of December 31, 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company received notification of a potential liability of $4.3 million with the asset purchase agreement completed in August 2018. Please see Note 16 for further explanation of this possible obligation.
