1. Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Allied Healthcare Products, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.

Adoption of new revenue recognition standard

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard that amends the guidance for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers to transfer goods and services. The FASB subsequently issued additional, clarifying standards to address issues arising from implementation of the new revenue recognition standard. The new revenue recognition standard and clarifying standards require an entity to recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this new standard as of July 1, 2018, by applying the modified-retrospective method to those contracts that were not completed as of that date.

The results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2018, are presented in accordance with the new standard, although comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards and policies in effect for those periods. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.

The cumulative impact on accumulated deficit as a result of the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s historical net losses and, therefore, no adjustment was made to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. In addition, the impact on reported total revenues and operating income as compared to what reported amounts would have been under the prior standard was also immaterial. The Company expects the impact of adoption in future periods to also be immaterial. The accounting policies under the new standard were applied prospectively and are described below. See Note 2, Revenues.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this update on its financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the revolving credit facility. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the debt having a variable interest rate.
