Foreign Currency

The Company has a subsidiary in Venezuela. Venezuela has experienced significant political and civil unrest, as well as economic instability for several years, and has implemented various foreign currency and price controls. The country has also experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. The Company accounts for its Venezuela subsidiary as hyper-inflationary in accordance with the guidelines in ASC 830, "Foreign Currency." A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3-year period.  The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars. As of May 31, 2020, the DICOM rate for the Sovereign Bolivar was approximately 198,722 bolivars to the U.S. dollar compared to 5,717 at May 31, 2019. Total net currency exchange gains for Venezuela of $1 were recorded for the three months ended May 31, 2020, as compared to $0 for the three months ended May 31, 2019, and are included in Other income (expense) on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
