RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations to enhance transparency about an entity’s use of supplier finance programs. Under the ASU, the buyer in a supplier finance program is required to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a roll-forward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. An entity should also consider whether the existence of a supplier finance program changes the appropriate presentation of the payables in the program from trade payables to borrowings. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the disclosure of roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard, which is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security should not be considered in measuring fair value. It also requires the following disclosures for equity securities subject to the contractual sale restrictions: 1) the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet; 2) the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s); and 3) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). ASU 2022-03 is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively. ASU 2022-03 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

On October 28, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This guidance will require entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This standard was designed to provide consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers. Legacy guidance requires entities to record contract assets and contract liabilities acquired to be recorded at fair value. The amendments will be effective for the Company beginning for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is allowed. If an entity early adopts, the entity would be required to apply the new guidance to all acquisitions made in the year of the early adoption. The Company is still reviewing the standard and as of the reporting date of this filing has not elected to early adopt.
