SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation in fair value of investments includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year.
Notes Receivable from Participants - Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance, plus any accrued but unpaid interest. In accordance with Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rules, participant loan defaults by participants who are not eligible to receive actual distributions from the Plan, such as participants who are active employees, are treated as “deemed” distributions under the Plan. In these circumstances, although the outstanding loan balance is reported as taxable income to the participants, the loan balance remains on the participants’ Plan accounts until the participants are eligible to receive a distribution from the Plan. Defaulted participant loans of participants who are eligible to receive distributions from the Plan are reclassified as distributions and offset from their Plan account balances.
Contributions - Employer contributions are recorded in the period the participant earns the contribution.
Benefit Distributions - Benefit distributions are recorded when paid. The total amount allocated to the accounts of participants who elected to withdraw from the Plan but have not yet been paid was $0 at December 31, 2025 (2024 - $0).
Excess Contribution Payable - Amounts payable to participants for contributions in excess of amounts allowed by the IRS are recorded as a liability with a corresponding reduction of contributions. Excess contributions are distributed to the applicable participants in the subsequent Plan year.
Investment-Related Expenses - Investment-related expenses are paid out of Plan assets. Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, investment management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments. The Companies pay administrative expenses of the Plan at their discretion.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Plan’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Plan's management regularly reviews its estimates, including those related to the Plan and other benefits based upon currently available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties - The Plan provides for investments that, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rates, market conditions, and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, and the inherent uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk factors in the near term will affect the amounts reported in the Plan’s financial statements.
