Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(A) Description of Business: The Company is a global retail company that operates the Vince brand women's and men's ready to wear business. Vince, established in 2002, is a leading global luxury apparel and accessories brand best known for creating elevated yet understated pieces for every day effortless style. Previously, the Company also owned and operated the Rebecca Taylor and Parker brands until the sale of the respective intellectual property was completed, as discussed below.

On April 21, 2023 the Company entered into a strategic partnership ("Authentic Transaction") with Authentic Brands Group, LLC ("Authentic"), a global brand development, marketing and entertainment platform, whereby the Company contributed its intellectual property to a newly formed Authentic subsidiary ("ABG Vince") for cash consideration and a membership interest in ABG Vince. The Company closed the Asset Sale (as defined below) on May 25, 2023. On May 25, 2023, in connection with the Authentic Transaction, V Opco, LLC (formerly, Vince, LLC) ("V Opco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a License Agreement (the "License Agreement") with ABG-Vince LLC, which provides V Opco with an exclusive, long-term license to use the Licensed Property in the Territory to the Approved Accounts (each as defined in the License Agreement). See Note 2 "Recent Transactions" for additional information.

Rebecca Taylor, founded in 1996 in New York City, was a contemporary womenswear line lauded for its signature prints, romantic detailing and vintage inspired aesthetic, reimagined for a modern era. On September 12, 2022, the Company announced its decision to wind down the Rebecca Taylor business. On December 22, 2022, the Company's indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, Rebecca Taylor, Inc., completed the sale of its intellectual property and certain related ancillary assets to RT IPCO, LLC, an affiliate of Ramani Group. On May 3, 2024, V Opco completed the sale of all outstanding shares of Rebecca Taylor, Inc., which held the Rebecca Taylor business prior to the wind down, to Nova Acquisitions, LLC. See Note 2 "Recent Transactions" for further information.

Parker, founded in 2008 in New York City, was a contemporary women's fashion brand that was trend focused. During the first half of fiscal 2020 the Company decided to pause the creation of new products for the Parker brand to focus resources on the operations of the Vince and Rebecca Taylor brands. On February 17, 2023, the Company's indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, Parker Lifestyle, LLC, completed the sale of its intellectual property and certain related ancillary assets to Parker IP Co. LLC, an affiliate of BCI Brands. See Note 2 "Recent Transactions" for additional information.

On January 22, 2025, P180, a venture focused on accelerating growth and profitability in the luxury apparel sector, acquired a majority stake in the Company (the “P180 Acquisition”) from affiliates of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (collectively, “Sun Capital”). Simultaneously with the P180 Acquisition, V Opco amended its existing credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”). The amendment consented to, among other things, the change in control in connection with the P180 Acquisition, as well as a partial pay down of the subordinated debt with SK Financial Services, LLC, an affiliate of Sun Capital, through increased borrowings under the credit agreement with BofA. On the same day, V Opco paid $15,000 to SK Financial Services, LLC using proceeds from the credit facility, which resulted in a pay-down of $20,000 of the subordinated debt (the “Sun Debt Paydown”).

In addition, in connection with the P180 Acquisition, P180 acquired and assumed $7,000 of the loans outstanding pursuant to the subordinated debt and immediately thereafter cancelled such $7,000 (the “P180 Debt Forgiveness”). Following the Sun Debt Paydown and P180 Debt Forgiveness, the outstanding principal amount of subordinated debt was reduced by approximately $27,000 with $7,500 remaining outstanding, which will continue to accrue payment-in-kind interest in accordance with, and otherwise be subject to, the terms and conditions therein. See Note 2 "Recent Transactions" for additional information.

The Company reaches its customers through a variety of channels, specifically through major wholesale department stores and specialty stores in the United States ("U.S.") and select international markets, as well as through the Company's branded retail locations and the Company's websites. The Company designs products in the U.S. and sources the vast majority of products from contract manufacturers outside the U.S., primarily in Asia. Products are manufactured to meet the Company's product specifications and labor standards.

(B) Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts and the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries as of February 1, 2025. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation.

(C) Fiscal Year: The Company operates on a fiscal calendar widely used by the retail industry that results in a given fiscal year consisting of a 52 or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31.

References to "fiscal year 2024" or "fiscal 2024" refer to the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025; and
References to "fiscal year 2023" or "fiscal 2023" refer to the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024.

Fiscal year 2024 consisted of a 52-week period and fiscal year 2023 consisted of a 53-week period.

(D) Sources and Uses of Liquidity: The Company's sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, if any, borrowings available under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5 "Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements") and the Company's ability to access the capital markets, including the Sales Agreement entered into with Virtu Americas LLC in June 2023 (see Note 9 "Stockholders' Equity" for further information). The Company's primary cash needs are funding working capital requirements, including royalty payments under the License Agreement, meeting debt service requirements and capital expenditures for new stores and related leasehold improvements. The most significant components of the Company's working capital are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and other current liabilities.

The Company’s future financial results may be subject to substantial fluctuations, and may be impacted by business conditions and macroeconomic factors, particularly in light of the recently implemented tariffs . While we expect to meet our monthly Excess Availability (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement) covenant and believe that our other sources of liquidity will generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued, the foregoing expectation is dependent on a number of factors, including, among others, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from a combination of tariff mitigating initiatives, our ongoing ability to manage our operating obligations, the ability of our partners to satisfy their payment obligations to us when due, the results of the currently ongoing inventory valuation and potential borrowing restrictions imposed by our lenders based on their credit judgment, all of which could be significantly and negatively impacted by the recently implemented and new retaliatory and/or reciprocal tariffs, as well as changing trade policies between the U.S. and its trading partners, in addition to other macroeconomic factors. Any material negative impact from these factors or others could require us to implement alternative plans to satisfy our liquidity needs which may be unsuccessful. In the event that we are unable to timely service our debt, meet other contractual payment obligations or fund our other liquidity needs, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity, seek waivers of or amendments to our contractual obligations for payment, reduce or delay scheduled expansions and capital expenditures, liquidate inventory through additional discounting, sell material assets or operations, or seek other financing opportunities. There can be no assurance that these options would be readily available to us and our inability to address our liquidity needs could materially and adversely affect our operations and jeopardize our business, financial condition and results of operations.

(E) Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that management 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 which affect revenues and expenses during the period reported. Estimates are adjusted when necessary to reflect actual experience. Significant estimates and assumptions may affect many items in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from estimates and assumptions in amounts that may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

(F) Cash and cash equivalents: All demand deposits and highly liquid short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

(G) Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company maintains an allowance for accounts receivable estimated to be uncollectible. The adjustments to the provision are recorded in Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense. Substantially all of the Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to retailers and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its wholesale partners' financial condition and requires collateral as deemed necessary. The past due status of a receivable is based on its contractual terms. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be collected.

Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances including expected future chargebacks from wholesale partners and estimated margin support. It is the nature of the apparel and fashion industry that suppliers similar to the Company face significant pressure from customers in the retail industry to provide allowances to compensate for wholesale partner margin shortfalls. This pressure often takes the form of customers requiring the Company to provide price concessions on prior shipments as a prerequisite for obtaining future orders. Pressure for these concessions is largely determined by overall retail sales performance and, more specifically, the performance of the Company's products at retail. To the extent the Company's wholesale partners have more of the Company's goods on hand at the end of the season, there will be greater pressure for the Company to grant markdown concessions on prior shipments. Accounts receivable balances are reported net of expected allowances for these matters based on the historical level of concessions required and estimates of the level of markdowns and allowances that will be required in the coming season. The

Company evaluates the allowance balances on a continual basis and adjusts them as necessary to reflect changes in anticipated allowance activity. The Company also provides an allowance for sales returns based on known trends and historical return rates.

In fiscal 2024 and 2023, sales to one wholesale partner accounted for more than ten percent of the Company's net sales. Sales to this partner represented 26% of fiscal 2024 net sales and 20% of fiscal 2023 net sales.

Two wholesale partners represented greater than ten percent of the Company's gross accounts receivable balances as of the end of both fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023. One partner represented 32% and 36% as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively, and the other represented 24% and 22% as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively. In addition, another wholesale partner represented greater than ten percent of the Company's gross accounts receivable balance as of February 1, 2025, with 14% of such balance.

(H) Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. The cost of inventory includes purchase cost as well as sourcing, transportation, duty, and other processing costs associated with acquiring, importing, and preparing inventory for sale. Inventory costs are included in cost of products sold at the time of their sale. Product development costs are expensed in SG&A expense when incurred. Inventory values are reduced to net realizable value when there are factors indicating that certain inventories will not be sold on terms sufficient to recover their cost. Inventories consist of finished goods. As of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024 finished goods, net of reserves were $59,146 and $58,777, respectively.

The Company has three major suppliers that accounted for approximately 16%, 16% and 13%, respectively, of inventory purchases for fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2023, the Company had two major suppliers that accounted for approximately 18% and 17%, respectively, of inventory purchases. Amounts due to these suppliers were $4,021 as of February 1, 2025 and $1,509 as of February 3, 2024, and were included in Accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(I) Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to ten years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term, excluding renewal terms. Capitalized software is depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of the software, generally three to seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to earnings while expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Upon the disposition of property and equipment, the accumulated depreciation is deducted from the original cost and any gain or loss is reflected in current earnings. Property and equipment consisted of the following:

Depreciation expense was $3,887 and $4,692 for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively.

(J) Impairment of Long-lived Assets: The Company reviews long-lived assets which consist of property and equipment and operating lease assets when the existence of facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than previously estimated or that the carrying amount of the asset groups to which these assets relate may not be recoverable. The asset group is defined as the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available and largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, which for our retail stores is at the store level. Recoverability of these assets is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of the asset group with its estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The recoverability assessment is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future growth and profitability, as well as other variables. If the comparisons indicate that the value of the asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the assets within the asset group and the loss is recognized during that period. The fair value of the operating lease right-of-use assets is determined from the perspective of a market participant considering various factors. The judgments and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the operating lease right-of-use assets are the current comparable market rents for similar properties and a store discount rate. The fair value of the property and equipment is based on its estimated liquidation value. The estimates regarding recoverability and fair value can be affected by factors such as future store results, real estate demand, store closure plans, and economic conditions that can be difficult to predict.

There were no impairment charges during fiscal 2024 and 2023.

(K) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and in an interim period if a triggering event occurs.

Goodwill is not allocated to the Company's operating segments in the measure of segment assets regularly reported to and used by management; however, goodwill is allocated to operating segments (goodwill reporting units) for the purpose of the annual impairment test for goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the fair market value of the identifiable net assets. As of January 28, 2023, the indefinite-lived intangible asset was the Vince tradename. On April 21, 2023, the Company entered into the Authentic Transaction with Authentic and as a result, the Vince tradename and Vince customer relationships were classified as held for sale and amortization of the Vince customer relationships ceased. The Company closed the Asset Sale on May 25, 2023. See Note 2 "Recent Transactions" for further information.

On February 17, 2023, the Company completed the sale of the Parker tradename and certain related ancillary assets to Parker IP Co. LLC, an affiliate of BCI Brands. See Note 2 "Recent Transactions" for further information.

An entity may elect to perform a qualitative impairment assessment for goodwill. If adverse qualitative trends are identified during the qualitative assessment that indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is required. "Step one" of the quantitative impairment test for goodwill requires an entity to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare such fair value to the respective carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired, and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

An entity may pass on performing the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit and directly perform the quantitative assessment. An entity may resume performing a qualitative assessment in subsequent periods.

Determining the fair value of goodwill is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including, when a discounted cash flows method is used, estimates of projected revenues, EBITDA margins, long-term growth rates, working capital, and discount rates. It is possible that estimates of future operating results could change adversely and impact the evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and that the effect of such changes could be material.

In fiscal 2024, the Company performed its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter. Concurrent with the performance of the annual impairment test, the P180 Acquisition was consummated. As the P180 Acquisition represented a change of control transaction with an unrelated third party, the fair value of the Company’s Vince Wholesale reporting unit was estimated based on the transaction price of the P180 Acquisition. The estimated fair value of the Company implied by the P180 Acquisition was allocated to the Company’s reporting units, Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer, using a market-based approach, considering the relative contributions of each reporting unit to the Company as well as appropriate valuation multiples for each reporting unit relative to the implied P180 Acquisition multiple. The results of the quantitative test determined that the fair value of the Vince Wholesale reporting unit was below its carrying value by an amount greater than its total goodwill balance and as a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $31,973 to write-off the goodwill for the Vince Wholesale reporting unit. The charge was recorded within Impairment of goodwill on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

In fiscal 2023, the Company performed its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter. The fair value of the Company's Vince Wholesale reporting unit was estimated using a combination of the income approach (the discounted cash flows method) and the market approach (guideline public company method). In fiscal 2023, the Company elected to perform a quantitative impairment test on goodwill allocated to the Company's Vince Wholesale reporting unit. The results of the quantitative test did not result in any impairment because the fair value of the Company's Vince Wholesale reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. Goodwill was $31,973 as of February 3, 2024.

See Note 3 "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for more information on the details surrounding goodwill and intangible assets.

(L) Deferred Financing Costs: Deferred financing costs, such as underwriting, financial advisory, professional fees, and other similar fees are capitalized and recognized in interest expense over the contractual life of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method, as this method results in recognition of interest expense that is materially consistent with that of the effective interest method.

(M) Leases: The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. The Company leases various office spaces, showrooms and retail stores. Although certain recent leases are subject to shorter terms as a result of the implementation of the strategy to pursue shorter lease terms when evaluating certain markets, some of the Company's leases have initial terms of 10 years, and in many instances can be extended for an additional term. The Company will not include renewal options in the underlying lease

term unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option. Substantially all of the Company's leases require a fixed annual rent, and most require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. These percentage rent expenses are considered as variable lease costs and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when incurred. In addition, the Company's real estate leases may also require additional payments for real estate taxes and other occupancy-related costs which it considers as non-lease components.

Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based upon the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate based upon a combination of market-based factors, such as market quoted forward yield curves and company specific factors, such as the Company's credit rating, lease size and duration to calculate the present value.

(N) Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which generally occurs upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. Sales are recognized when the control of the goods are transferred to the customer for the Company's wholesale business, upon receipt by the customer for the Company's e-commerce business, and at the time of sale to the consumer for the Company's retail business. See Note 13 "Segment and Geographical Financial Information" for disaggregated revenue amounts by segment.

Revenue associated with gift cards is recognized upon redemption and unredeemed balances are considered a contract liability and recorded within Other accrued expenses, which are subject to escheatment within the jurisdictions in which it operates. As of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, the contract liability was $1,544 and $1,628, respectively. In fiscal 2024, the Company recognized $265 of revenue that was previously included in the contract liability as of February 3, 2024.

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are not material. Such shipping and handling costs are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of products sold. Sales taxes that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.

Sales are measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, which includes estimates for variable consideration. Variable consideration mainly includes discounts, chargebacks, markdown allowances, cooperative advertising programs, and sales returns. Estimated amounts of discounts, chargebacks, markdown allowances, cooperative advertising programs, and sales returns are accounted for as reductions of sales when the associated sale occurs. These estimated amounts are adjusted periodically based on changes in facts and circumstances when the changes become known. On the Company's consolidated balance sheet, reserves for sales returns are included within other accrued liabilities, and the value of inventory associated with reserves for sales returns are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The Company continues to estimate the amount of sales returns based on known trends and historical return rates.

(O) Cost of Products Sold: The Company's cost of products sold and gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to that of other entities as a result of different practices in categorizing costs. The primary components of the Company's cost of products sold are as follows:

the cost of purchased merchandise, including raw materials;
the cost of inbound transportation, including freight;
the cost of the Company's production and sourcing departments;
other processing costs associated with acquiring and preparing the inventory for sale; and
shrink and valuation reserves.

(P) Marketing and Advertising: The Company provides cooperative advertising allowances to certain of its customers. These allowances are accounted for as reductions in sales as discussed in "Revenue Recognition" above. Production expense related to company-directed advertising is deferred until the first time at which the advertisement runs. All other expenses related to company-directed advertising are expensed as incurred. Marketing and advertising expense recorded in SG&A expenses was $12,532 and $11,843 in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. At February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, deferred production expenses associated with company-directed advertising were $792 and $698, respectively.

(Q) Share-Based Compensation: New, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as stock options and restricted stock units, are measured at fair value and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period and is included as a component of SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

(R) Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted rates. The Company assesses the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and adjusts the carrying amount of these deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent the Company believes it more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Many factors are considered when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings results within taxing jurisdictions, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available and other relevant factors. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. The Company recognizes tax positions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included in income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

(S) Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of share-based awards calculated under the treasury stock method.

(T) Recent Accounting Pronouncements: Except as noted below, the Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements, based on current information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07: Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement in fiscal 2024 and retrospectively to all prior periods using the significant segment expense categories identified. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations, as the requirements impact only segment reporting disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires expanded disclosure within the rate reconciliation as well as disaggregation of annual taxes paid. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and is applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03: Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01: Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements of the ASU will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact on the Company's disclosures.
