Note 2 - Basis of Preparation

A.Statement of compliance

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2019 annual audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes, which were filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2020 or for any other future period.

B.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

1.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a forward-looking expected credit loss model which will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2020 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2018-13, Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) (ASU 2018-13), which improved the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2020 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective in the first quarter of 2021 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
