Our report dated April 1, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has substantial indebtedness classified within current liabilities that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty. Our report dated April 1, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has changed its method of accounting for revenue transactions with customers due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended.
