Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued ASU No. 2020-06 ("ASU 2020-06"), Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, ASU 2020-06 modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. This update was effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. The amendment is to be adopted through either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective method of transition. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2024 using the modified-retrospective method. As a result of the adoption, the Company reversed the accretion of preferred stock dividends originally recorded in 2005 related to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of $793,000.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.
