The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.  The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain prior year amounts in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassed to match the current year’s presentation.
