Epsilon Energy Ltd. New Standards Disclosure
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to disclose disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts for specific standardized categories, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023‑09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments enhance income tax disclosures, primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company adopted the amendments on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the amendments relate primarily to expanded disclosures and do not change the recognition or measurement of income taxes. Because the amendments were adopted prospectively, the enhanced disclosures required by ASU 2023‑09 are provided for the year ended December 31, 2025. Prior‑year disclosures continue to be presented in accordance with the Company’s previously applied accounting guidance. See Note 9 “Income Taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Applications of Profits Interest and Similar Awards (“ASU 2024-01”). The amendments in ASU 2024-01 improves its overall clarity and operability without changing the guidance and adding illustrative examples to determine whether profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2024-01 as of December 31, 2025 with no material impact.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-3 "Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures." The ASU will improve the decision usefulness for investors by requiring public business entities to disclose more detailed information about their expenses such as (a) inventory and manufacturing expense, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, etc. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments will be applied prospectively with an option for a retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard and believes that the adoption will result in additional disclosures, but will not have any other impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in this update provide (1) all entities with a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard and believes that the adoption may result in additional disclosures, but will not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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.
