Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company reviews all of the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s updates periodically to ensure the Company’s compliance of its accounting policies and disclosure requirements to the Codification Topics.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2019–12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740. The guidance also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance from ASC 740. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein and is to be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective approach, depending on the specific amendment. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not change anything in the consolidated financial statements and therefore had no material impact.

 

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard (ASU 2020-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt and other equity-linked instruments. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. As a result, the new standard may affect net income and EPS, and therefore performance measures, and increase debt levels which may impact debt covenant compliance.

 

ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption will be permitted.

 

The Company will continue to monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its financial statements. The Company has taken the position that any future standards will not be disclosed to the extent they are not material to our operations.
