In the normal course of its operations, the Company may be subject to litigation and claims. Although it is not possible to estimate the extent of potential costs, if any, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies would not have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company. The Company is not aware of any material provisions or other contingent liabilities as at December 31, 2017.
