NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE

New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

On April 1, 2020 we adopted ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.  This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosures.  The amendments for changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty are applied prospectively.  All other amendments are applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date.  The adoption did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Issued Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, expected to reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes. This ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 under U.S. GAAP and removes the limitation on the tax benefit recognized on pre-tax losses in interim periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company plans to adopt the standard on April 1, 2021, and is currently evaluating the amendments in this update to determine the impact it may have on its financial statements and disclosures.
