FITLIFE BRANDS, INC. New Standards Disclosure

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure (“ASC 280”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but has resulted in additional disclosures within the footnotes of the consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023‑09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring additional disaggregation of the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Specifically, the guidance requires a tabular reconciliation using both percentages and amounts, with consistent categories and further disaggregation of material reconciling items, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments in ASU 2023‑09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023‑09 effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but has resulted in additional disclosures within the footnotes of the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”).

The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on our financial statement disclosures.
