The Company is still evaluating the potential impacts the new revenue standard may have as a result of adoption of the ASU however, we do not expect the new standard to have a material impact on financial results as the Company recognizes revenue at the completion of a residential real estate sale transaction, on a gross basis, which will not result in a change in the timing and recognition of revenue. This ASU is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and the interim periods within that year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eXp World Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries; eXp Realty Holdings, Inc.; First Cloud Mortgage, Inc.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to provisions for doubtful accounts, legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, expense accruals, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
