Transactions, although negotiated contemporaneously, may be documented in one or more contracts. The Company&#8217;s policy for accounting for each transaction negotiated contemporaneously is to record each element of the transaction based on the respective estimated fair values of the products or services purchased and the products or services sold. In determining the fair value of the respective elements, the Company refers to quoted market prices (where available), historical transactions or comparable cash transactions. </font></div></div>
