NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance", which aims to increase the transparency of government assistance and grants. The ASU requires additional annual disclosures pertaining to the types of received government assistance, accounting for the transactions and the related impacts on the reported financial results. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, but early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. This guidance provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for the Company’s borrowing instruments, which use LIBOR as a reference rate, and is effective immediately, but is only available through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the optional expedients and exceptions in the guidance and while transition from LIBOR could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, derivatives or other financial instruments or extensions held by or due, the Company does not expect such nor the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
