SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the consolidated financial statements. These policies are in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP") and have been applied consistently in all material respects.
