This is done to comply with U.S and international accounting standards. Each year, we help the company determine the fair value of the company’s equity, indefinite lived trade names and trademarks and goodwill to comply with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350 and International Accounting Standards (IAS) 36.
