BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by AMREP Corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in three business segments: the Fulfillment Services business operated by Palm Coast Data LLC (“Palm Coast”) and its subsidiary, FulCircle Media, LLC (“FulCircle”), the Staffing Services business operated by Kable Staffing Resources LLC (“Staffing Services”) and the real estate business operated by AMREP Southwest Inc. (“AMREP Southwest”) and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Refer to Note 2 for subsidiaries of the Company as of January 31, 2015 that are classified as held for sale and accounted for as discontinued operations.
 
In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary to reflect a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of what may occur in future periods. Unless otherwise qualified, all references to 2015 and 2014 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2015 and 2014 and all references to the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 and 2014 mean the fiscal three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2015 and 2014.
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2014, which was filed with the SEC on July 29, 2014.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard under GAAP for virtually all industries. The new standard will apply for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
