Significant Accounting Policies

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of all subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for contingent liabilities, deferred taxes and uncertain tax position. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar (“US$” or “$”). The functional currency of its Hong Kong subsidiaries is the Hong Kong dollar (the “HK$”), its Vietnam subsidiaries is the Vietnamese dong (the “VND”), and its PRC subsidiaries is the Renminbi (the “RMB”). Results of operations and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates during the year, and assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

Translation of amounts from HK$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates:

 

Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts:
June 30, 2022  HK$7.85 to US$1
June 30, 2023  HK$7.84 to US$1

 

Statement of operations and cash flow items:
June 30, 2021 

HK$7.76 to US$1

June 30, 2022  HK$7.80 to US$1
June 30, 2023  HK$7.84 to US$1

 

Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates:

 

Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts:
June 30, 2022  RMB6.70 to US$1
June 30, 2023  RMB7.26 to US$1

 

Statement of operations and cash flow items:   
June 30, 2021 

RMB 6.62 to US$1

June 30, 2022  RMB 6.45 to US$1
June 30, 2023  RMB 6.95 to US$1

 

Translation of amounts from VND into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates: 

 

Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts:
June 30, 2022  VND23,263 to US$1
June 30, 2023  VND23,583 to US$1
    
Statement of operations and cash flow items:
June 30, 2021 

VND23,068 to US$1

June 30, 2022  VND22,860 to US$1
June 30, 2023  VND23,706 to US$1

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and time deposits, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted cash

 

Time deposits that are restricted as to withdrawal for use or pledged as security is reported separately as restricted cash. The Group’s restricted cash primarily represents deposits pledged to banks to secure banking facilities granted to the Company. The restricted deposits for the banking facilities have been fully released by respective bank in September 2022 with the revised bank facilities.

 

Accounts receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable represents trade receivables from customers. Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. The trade receivables are all without customer collateral and interest is not accrued on past due accounts. Periodically, management reviews the adequacy of its provision for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt expense results and current economic conditions using factors based on the aging of its accounts receivable. Additionally, the Company may identify additional allowance requirements based on indications that a specific customer may be experiencing financial difficulties. Actual bad debt results could differ materially from these estimates. As of June 30, 2023, and 2022, the balance of allowance for doubtful accounts was $70,345 and $186,909, respectively. While management uses the best information available upon which to best estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used for the purposes of analysis. When collection of the original invoice amounts is no longer probable, we will either partially or fully write-off the balance against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Prepayments, other receivables and other current assets

 

Prepayments are cash deposited or advanced to suppliers for future inventory purchases. This amount is refundable and bears no interest.

 

Other receivables and other current assets primarily include deposits for rental, VAT input and others. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Receivables considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection are made.

 

Inventories, net

 

Inventories consist principally of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods, and are stated at the lower of cost (average cost method) or net realizable value. Cost of inventories includes labor, raw materials, and allocated overhead.

 

Intangible asset, net

 

Intangible asset is computer software acquired by the Company, it is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. The intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 5 years.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment, net

 

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Major renewals, betterments, and improvements are capitalized to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed to operations. At the time property, plant, and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation or amortization accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to operations.

 

The Company depreciates property, plant, and equipment using the straight-line method as follows:

 

Buildings  20 years to 50 years
    
Leasehold improvements  5 years
    
Plant and machinery  5 years to 20 years
    
Motor Vehicles  5 years to 10 years
    
Office equipment  5 years to 10 years

 

Impairment of long-lived asset 

 

Long-lived assets, representing property, plant and equipment and intangible asset with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, we would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of June 30, 2023, and 2022, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

 

Leases

 

ASC 842 supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840 “Leases”, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and finance lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. All leases in the Group are accounted for as operating leases.

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. On our balance sheet, our lease is included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) asset, Current portion of operating lease liability and operating lease liability, net of current portion.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Significant judgment may be required when determining whether a contract contains a lease, the length of the lease term, the allocation of the consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components, and the determination of the discount rate included in our office lease. We review the underlying objective of each contract, the terms of the contract, and consider our current and future business conditions when making these judgments.

 

For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis in operations over the lease term.

 

Any lease with a term of 12 months or less is considered short-term. As permitted by ASC 842, short-term leases are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Consistent with all other operating leases, short-term lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

All land in mainland China is owned by the Chinese government. The Chinese government may sell land use rights for a specified period of time. The purchase price of land use rights represents the operating lease prepayments for the rights to use the land in mainland China under ASC 842 and is recorded as right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets, which is amortized over the remaining lease term.

 

In July 2000, the Company acquired land use rights from the local Bureau of Land and Resources in Shenzhen for the purpose of building factory. The land use rights are being amortized over the respective lease terms, which are 50 years. In the inception date of lease term, the Company has fully paid the lease payment to the PRC government.

 

Other non-current assets

 

Other non-current assets mainly include prepayment for land cost in Vietnam of approximately USD 1,798,927 and USD 1,592,962, and capitalized listing fees of approximately Nil and USD 515,953 as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The prepayment for land cost in Vietnam is related to a contract for the right to use of a land in Vietnam for a consideration of VND 102,476,000,000 (approximately USD 4,455,000). The details of capital commitment are set out in the Note 19.

 

Bank borrowings

 

Bank borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of upfront fees incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

 

Accounts payable

 

Accounts payable represents trade payables to vendors.

 

Other payables and accrued liabilities

 

Other payables and accrued liabilities primarily include contract liabilities, salaries payable as well as others accrual and payable.

 

A contract liability is recognized when a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).

 

Statutory Reserves

 

According to the laws and regulations in the PRC, the Company is required to provide for certain statutory funds, namely, a reserve fund by an appropriation from net profit after taxation but before dividend distribution based on the local statutory financial statements of the PRC subsidiary prepared in accordance with the PRC accounting principles and relevant financial regulations.

 

Each of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in the PRC are required to allocate at least 10% of its net profit to the reserve fund until the balance of such fund has reached 50% of its registered capital. Appropriations of additional reserve fund are determined at the discretion of its directors. The reserve fund can only be used, upon approval by the relevant authority, to offset accumulated losses or increase capital.

 

Employee Benefit Plan

 

Full time employees of the PRC entities participate in a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance and other welfare benefits are provided to employees.

 

Qualified employees of the Hong Kong entities participate in Mandatory Provident Fund and company’s medical insurance plan. Contributions are made by both the employer and the employee at the rate of 5% on the employee’s relevant salary income, subject to a cap of monthly relevant income of approximately US$27,796.

 

During the years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the total amount charged to the consolidated statements of operations in respect of the Company’s costs incurred on both government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan in the PRC and Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme in Hong Kong were US$1,205,697, US$1,090,943 and US$1,056,894, respectively.

 

Related parties

 

We adopted ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

The details of related party transaction during the years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021 and balances as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 are set out in the note 11.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606 on April 1, 2017 using the full retrospective method which requires the Company to present the financial statements for all periods as if Topic 606 had been applied to all prior periods. The company derives revenue principally from producing and sales of paper products. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:

 

  1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

 

  2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

  3. Determine the transaction price;

 

  4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

  5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

A contract contains a promise (or promises) to transfer goods or services to a customer. A performance obligation is a promise (or a group of promises) that is distinct. The transaction price is the amount of consideration a company expects to be entitled from a customer in exchange for providing the goods or services.

 

The unit of account for revenue recognition is a performance obligation (a good or service). A contract may contain one or more performance obligations. Performance obligations are accounted for separately if they are distinct. A good or service is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and the good or service is distinct in the context of the contract. Otherwise, performance obligations are combined with other promised goods or services until the Company identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct. Promises in contracts which do not result in the transfer of a good or service are not performance obligations, as well as those promises that are administrative in nature, or are immaterial in the context of the contract. The Company has addressed whether various goods and services promised to the customer represent distinct performance obligations. The Company applied the guidance of ASC Topic 606-10-25-16 through 18 in order to verify which promises should be assessed for classification as distinct performance obligations.

 

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in the contract on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling prices of the promised goods or services. The individual standalone selling price of a good or service that has not previously been sold on a stand-alone basis, or has a highly variable selling price, is determined based on the residual portion of the transaction price after allocating the transaction price to goods and/or services with observable stand-alone selling price. A discount or variable consideration is allocated to one or more, but not all, of the performance obligations if it relates specifically to those performance obligations.

 

Transaction price is the amount of consideration in the contract to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The transaction price may be fixed or variable and is adjusted for time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component. Consideration payable to a customer is deducted from the transaction price if the Company does not receive a separate identifiable benefit from the customer. When consideration is variable, if applicable, the estimated amount is included in the transaction price to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

 

Revenue may be recognized at a point in time or over time following the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation. If a performance obligation is satisfied over time, revenue is recognized based on the percentage of completion reflecting the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Typically, performance obligation for products where the process is described as below, the performance obligation is satisfied at point in time.

 

The Company currently generates its revenue mainly from the following sources:

 

a.Revenue from sales of paper products

 

For the sales of paper products, the Company typically receives purchase orders from its customers which will set forth the terms and conditions including the transaction price, products to be delivered, terms of delivery, and terms of payment. The terms serve as the basis of the performance obligations that the Company must fulfill in order to recognize revenue. The key performance obligation is the delivery of the finished product to the customer at customer’s truck at the Company’s inventory warehouse or their specified location at which point title to that asset passes to the customer. The completion of this earning process is evidenced by a written customer acceptance indicating receipt of the product. Typical payment terms set forth in the purchase order ranges from 30 to 90 days from invoice date. The transaction price does not include variable consideration related to returns or refunds as our contracts do not include provisions that allow for sales refunds or returns of products. The Company provides no warranties for the products transferred. The amount of revenue recognized from contract liabilities to the Company’s result of operations can be found in Note 12 below.

 

b.Revenue from provision of supply chain management solution

 

The Company provides supply chain management solutions to its customers by designing packaging products, designating approved raw materials for manufacturing of those packaging products, contracting viable manufacturers, and arranging delivery of those packaging products to end customers. The Company typically receives purchase orders from its customers which will set forth the terms and conditions including the transaction price, products to be delivered, terms of delivery, and terms of payment. The terms serve as the basis of the performance obligations that the Company must fulfill in order to recognize revenue. The key performance obligation is identified as a single performance obligation where delivery of the finished product to the customer at the location specified by the customer indicates that the Company has completed all steps set forth above such as design, manufacture and delivery in order to substantially complete all the services agreed upon in the purchase order. Delivery of the product to the customer is also the point at which title to that asset passes to the customer. The completion of this earning process is typically evidenced by a written customer acceptance indicating receipt of the product. Typical payment terms set forth in the purchase order ranges from 30 to 90 days from invoice date. The transaction price does not include variable consideration related to returns or refunds as our contracts do not include provisions that allow for sales refunds or returns of products. The Company provides no warranties for the products transferred. The amount of revenue recognized from contract liabilities to the Company’s result of operations can be found in Note 12 below. 

 

Following the adoption of ASC 606, we considered the guidance set forth in ASC 340-40, and determined that an asset would be recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract under ASC 340-40-25-5 only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

 

The costs relate directly to a contract or an anticipated contract that the entity can specifically identify (for example, costs relating to services to be provided under the renewal of an existing contract or costs of designing an asset to be transferred under a specific contract that has not yet been approved).

 

The costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying (or continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future.

 

The costs are expected to be recovered.

 

The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense if the amortization period of the asset would have been one year or less.

 

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in paragraph ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

 

The Company elected a practical expedient that it does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects that, upon the inception of revenue contracts, the period between when the Company transfers its promised services or deliverables to its clients and when the clients pay for those services or deliverables will be one year or less.

 

Costs that relate directly to a contract include direct material, labor cost, subcontracting fee and allocated overhead including utilities, depreciation, and other overhead costs.

 

We elected to treat shipping and handling costs undertaken by the Company after the customer has obtained control of the related goods as a fulfilment activity and has been presented as transportation costs which is include in selling and marketing expenses.

 

Cost of revenues

 

a.Cost of sales of paper products

 

Cost of sales of paper products, which are directly related to revenue generating transactions, primarily consists of raw paper cost, labour cost and allocated overhead.

 

b.Cost of provision of supply chain management solution

 

Cost of provision of supply chain management solution, which are directly related to revenue generating transactions, primarily consists of cost of purchase of finished goods and shipping costs.

 

Other income

 

Interest income is mainly generated from savings and time deposits and is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

 

Selling and marketing expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of staff costs and employee benefits of sales team, consultancy fee for market research and product development, advertising expenses and transportation and handling expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related compensation expenses, including salaries and related social insurance costs for our operations and support personnel, office rental and property management fees, professional services fees, depreciation, travelling expenses, office supplies, utilities, research and development costs, communication and expenses related to general operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Any tax paid by subsidiaries during the year is recorded. Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purpose and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. ASC Topic 740 also requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry-forwards. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to the U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards, are dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain.

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 740-10-05, Income Tax, which provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, it prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting guidance on derecognizing, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company’s policy on classification of all interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax positions, if any, is to present them as a component of income tax expense.

 

Value Added Tax

 

Revenue represents the invoiced value of service, net of VAT. The VAT is based on gross sales price and VAT rates range up to 13%, depending on the type of service provided. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in tax payable. All of the VAT returns filed by our subsidiaries in the PRC have been and remain subject to examination by the tax authorities for five years from the date of filing.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company presents comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. ASC Topic 220 states that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss) be reported in the consolidated financial statements. The components of comprehensive income (loss) were the net income (loss) for the years and the foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Segment reporting

 

The Company follows ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer as the chief operating decision-maker reviews the consolidated financial results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company as a whole and has determined that the Company has only one reportable segment. The Company operates and manages its business as a single segment. Please refer to Note 17 to the consolidated financial statement for the Company’s revenue from customers by geographical areas based on the location of the customers.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

The Group computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per-share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. During the years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, there were no dilution impact.

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, we are subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, such as government investigations and tax matters. We recognize a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. We may consider many factors in making these assessments including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses — Available-for-Sale Debt Securities.

 

The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-02 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses, leases, and hedging standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on January 1, 2023. The Company is still evaluating the impact of accounting standard of credit losses on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for the Group for the annual reporting periods beginning July 1, 2022 and interim periods beginning July 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU No. 2021-01 is an update of ASU No. 2020-04, which is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR. Regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU No. 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU No. 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU No. 2021-01 update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this update are effective immediately through December 31, 2022, for all entities. On December 21, 2022, the FASB issued a new Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, that extends the sunset (or expiration) date of ASC Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. This gives reporting entities two additional years to apply the accounting relief provided under ASC Topic 848 for matters related to reference rate reform. The Company does not expect the cessation of LIBOR to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 205-10, presentation of financial statements”. The amendments in this Update improve the codification by ensuring that all guidance that requires or provides an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to financial statements is codified in the disclosure section of the codification. That reduce the likelihood that the disclosure requirement would be missed. The amendments also clarify guidance so that an entity can apply the guidance more consistently. ASU 2021-10 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2022. Early application of the amendments is permitted for any annual or interim period for which financial statements are available to be issued. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. An entity should apply the amendments at the beginning of the period that includes the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.
