RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

(3) RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

Adopted

The FASB issued guidance, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2024; however, after performing a thorough analysis the Company concluded there was no material impact from the adoption of this ASU.

Recently Issued

The FASB issued guidance, ASU 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides an optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. This ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. LIBOR rates were published until June 30, 2023. All principal and interest of the Term Loan was paid during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2023, so the discontinuance of LIBOR rates did not impact us.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through requiring enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This ASU will be effective for the Company in our fiscal year 2025, with the guidance applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the new accounting guidance will have on our segment disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,”, which requires enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU will be effective for the Company in our fiscal year 2026, with the guidance applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the new accounting guidance will have on our tax disclosures.

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe may have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
