Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

 

Management has estimated that the carrying amounts of non-related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of amounts due from (to) related parties is not practicable to estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

Fair Value Accounting

Fair Value Accounting

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

 

  Level 1      

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

  Level 2      

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

 

  Level 3      Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

At June 30, 2014, the Company’s financial assets (all Level 1) consist of cash placed with financial institutions that management considers to be of a high quality.

 

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had an outstanding forward foreign exchange option contract subject to recurring fair value measurement (Level 3) with the change in fair value recognized in earnings (Note 5).

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company, Ever-Glory HK and Perfect Dream Limited, British Virgin Islands incorporated subsidiary of the Company (“Perfect Dream”) is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Goldenway, New Tailun, Catch-luck, Ever-Glory Apparel, Tai Xin, Shanghai LA GO GO, Jiangsu LA GO GO, Tianjin LA GO GO, Ya Lan and He Meida is the Chinese RMB.

 

For subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date; equity was translated at historical rates and items in the statement of comprehensive income were translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The resulting translation 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. Items in the cash flow statement are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and must be applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.
