(1) 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 two business segments: the real estate business operated by AMREP Southwest Inc. (“AMREP Southwest”) and its subsidiaries and the Fulfillment Services business operated by Palm Coast Data LLC (“Palm Coast”) and its affiliates. The Company’s foreign sales are insignificant. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 2017 and 2016 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2017 and 2016 and all references to the second quarter and first six months of 2017 and 2016 mean the fiscal three and six month periods ended October 31, 2016 and 2015.

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, 2016, which was filed with the SEC on July 29, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The update simplifies several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 by the Company is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company for fiscal year 2020 beginning on May 1, 2019. The Company has not determined the transition approach that will be utilized or estimated the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance defines how companies report revenues from contracts with customers and also requires enhanced disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year, with early adoption on the original effective date permitted. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2014-09 as of May 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted as of May 1, 2017. The Company has not determined when it will adopt ASU 2014-09 and the transition approach that will be utilized or estimated the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09.
