19.  HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES – CORRECTION OF ERRORS

 

The Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been revised to reflect a correction of an error to the classification of investments previously recorded as Held-to-Maturity.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company determined that, during 2018, it had incorrectly classified certain investments as Held-to-Maturity that should have been classified as Available-for-Sale.  The Company views the correction of the classification error to be immaterial to previously filed financial statements.  Nonetheless, the Company has revised the presentation of the d Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 to reflect the reclassification of all previously recorded Held-to-Maturity investments as Available-for-Sale.  The effect on the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 is to reclassify $2,986,156 from Held-to-Maturity securities to Investments in debt and equity securities, at fair value.  In addition, Total current assets at December 31, 2018 were increased by $1,989,923 as a result of this reclassification.  There was no impact to the Statement of Operations for 2018 as a result. The Company will continue to revise its previously-issued financial statements on a prospective basis for this classification error as well as the related disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments.
