In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2025 and interim periods within our fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The Company adopted annual requirements under ASU 2023-07 on July 1, 2025 which has been incorporated into Note 4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
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 improves disclosures about a company’s expenses and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2028 and interim periods within our fiscal year ending September 30, 2029. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2028 and interim periods within our fiscal year ending September 30, 2029.

About New Standards Disclosures
New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.
Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
