Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation

a. Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2023. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, but not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Significant accounting policies

b. Significant accounting policies

 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as described below:

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments, and methodologies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity, the amount of revenues and expenses and the determination of the fair value of the retained interest of equity investment as of the deconsolidation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance is effective for Smaller Reporting Companies (SRCs, as defined by the SEC) for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023, including interim periods within that year. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance results in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to acquisitions that occur on or after the effective date. The guidance is currently effective for fiscal years that began after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On August 23, the FASB issued guidance requiring a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. This accounting will largely be consistent with ASC 805, Business Combinations, although there are some specific exceptions. Before the ASU, there was no authoritative guidance in US GAAP that addressed how a joint venture should recognize contributions received. As a result, there has been diversity in practice, with some joint ventures accounting for contributions received at carry over basis and others at fair value. This new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice and provide users of the joint venture’s financial statements with more decision-useful information. It may also reduce the amount of basis differences that an investor in a joint venture needs to track. The new guidance should be applied prospectively and is effective for all newly-formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no net effect on previously reported results of operations.
