Impact of New Accounting Standards

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow. Recent pronouncements which will be adopted as appropriate are as follows:

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 (“Topic 280”). The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the year ended August 31, 2024. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 entitled Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which is primarily applicable to public companies and requires a significant expansion of the granularity of the income tax rate reconciliation as well as an expansion of other income tax disclosures. The majority of the disclosures will only be made on an annual basis, although there is a modest expansion of required quarterly income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require disclosure of specific income tax categories in the statutory to effective rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. There are also additional disclosures related to taxes paid to local jurisdictions, and to income taxes paid. This information is currently available to the Company but was not a required disclosure. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-09 on September 1, 2025.

 

In March 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-01 entitled Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards (ASU 2024-01) to improve GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance to determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation. While profits interest is not defined in GAAP, those interests are differentiated from capital interests held by investors that provide those holders with rights to the existing net assets in a partnership or similar entity. The Company does not expect ASU 2024-01 to have any effect since the Company does not presently issue profits interest awards.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 entitled–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense (ASU 2024-03). The FASB issued ASU 24-03 to improve the disclosure about a public business entity’s expense and to address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion) included in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development. This is a disclosure-only standard and the Company expects to adopt ASU 2024-03 on September 1, 2026. There is currently a Proposed Accounting Standards Update that would, if adopted, accelerate the effective date of this standard by one year. If that Proposed standard is adopted, we would expect to adopt ASU 2024-03 on September 1, 2025.
