Note 1 — Basis for Presentation

 

Cubic Corporation (“we”, “us”, and “Cubic”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

 

In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included, and are of a normal and recurring nature as well as all adjustments discussed in Note 2, “Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of Cubic Corporation at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013; the results of its operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013; and its cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2013.

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared with the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2013.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 outlines a comprehensive revenue recognition model and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for us starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. ASU 2014-09 allows for two methods of adoption: (a) “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or (b) “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 is recognized as an adjustment to the fiscal 2018 opening retained earnings balance. We are in the process of determining the adoption method as well as the effects the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
