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 2018 and 2017 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2018 and 2017 and all references to the third quarter and first nine months of 2018 and 2017 mean the fiscal three month and nine month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017.

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, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on July 18, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”). Certain 2017 balances in these financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no effect on either net income or shareholders’ equity.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since that date, the FASB has issued additional ASUs providing further revenue recognition guidance (collectively, “Topic 606”). Topic 606 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenues and costs related to obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts, with the objective of improving financial reporting. The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, and more judgment and estimates may be required under Topic 606 than are currently required under generally accepted accounting principles. The two permitted transition methods under Topic 606 are (i) the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or (ii) the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of adoption. The Company intends to use the modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the required adoption date until May 1, 2018 for the Company, although an earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not intend to early adopt Topic 606.

The Company has established an implementation team to evaluate the impact of Topic 606 on the Company’s accounting policies, processes and system requirements, as well as its consolidated financial statements. Depending on the results of the evaluation, there could be changes to the timing of recognition of revenues and related costs. The Company continues its evaluation of the impact of Topic 606. As of January 31, 2018, the Company had not determined a reasonable estimate of the impact of these new ASUs on its consolidated financial statements, including the effect on the Company’s operating results, if any. The implementation team has reported the progress and status of its evaluation to the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
