ARGAN INC New Standards Disclosure

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which introduces more detailed requirements for annual disclosures for income taxes. The ASU requires public business entities to present specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires all entities to disclose the amounts of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdiction. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted. Accordingly, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis beginning with the year ended January 31, 2026. The adoption of the new standard had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows on the date of transition.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to disclose specific information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted that the Company considers material to its consolidated financial statements.
