NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 70-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s instruments by removing major separation models required under current accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exceptions and also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The standard is effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company early adopted this standard on January 1, 2021. By no longer recording embedded conversion features separately from the convertible debt instrument, and instead as a single liability, the Company’s financial statements reflect a more simplified view of convertible debt instruments and cash interest expense that is believed to be more relevant than an imputed interest expense that results from the separation of conversion features previously required by U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this standard had no material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021.
