New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted by the Company

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This update requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either (1) prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendments that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application or (2) retrospectively to those transactions. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326), as clarified in ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2018-19, amending how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance requires the application of a current expected credit loss model, which is a new impairment model based on expected losses. Under this model, an entity recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasted information rather than the current methodology of delaying recognition of credit losses until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The amendments for Smaller Reporting Companies are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, which for the Company will be the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company expects to early adopt this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Although the impact upon adoption will depend on the financial instruments held by the Company at that time, the Company does not anticipate a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements based on the instruments currently held and its historical trend of bad debt expense relating to trade accounts receivable.

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted by the Company

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2020-10”). The amendments improve the ASC by ensuring that all guidance that requires or provides an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to financial statements is codified in the Disclosure Section of the ASC. The amendments also clarify various provisions in the ASC so that the guidance can be applied more consistently. ASU 2020-10 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The adoption of this guidance had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The ASU removes exceptions to the general principles for intraperiod tax allocation, the recognition of a deferred tax liability for equity method investments and the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. It also improves consistent application of and simplification for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim

periods therein. This ASU was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The adoption of this guidance had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.All other ASUs that became effective for Volt during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were not applicable to the Company at this time and therefore, did not have any impact during the period.
