Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]
Business Combination- In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities, based on fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the fair value of any intangible assets acquired, deferred revenues assumed, or contingent consideration within the arrangement. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions or estimates.

For the three months ended April 30, 2016, the change in fair value of contingent consideration was $1.4 million and is recognized within the statements of operations.
