Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	13. Contingencies The Company may from time to time become involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Currently, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings that management believes would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company has received notices from several states stating that they have appointed an agent to conduct an examination of the books and records of the Company to determine whether it has complied with state unclaimed property laws. In addition to seeking unclaimed property subject to escheat laws, the states may seek interest, penalties and other relief. The examinations are at an early state and, as such, management is unable to determine the impact, if any, on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The entire disclosure for commitments and contingencies.
