LANTRONIX INC New Standards Disclosure
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Credit Losses
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a final Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) amending Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, to allow all entities to elect a practical expedient when determining the expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable. The practical expedient allows companies to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged through the remaining life of the asset. The standard will be effective for Lantronix beginning with our interim financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The impact of adopting this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The new standard requires disaggregated information about a company’s effective tax rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. The standard will be effective for Lantronix beginning with our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The impact of adopting this guidance is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial position and results of operations, since it requires only enhancements to existing income tax disclosures in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.
Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued an ASU requiring incremental disclosures related to a public company’s reportable segments. The new guidance was issued primarily to provide financial statement users with more disaggregated expense information about a company’s reportable segments. The guidance does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. The guidance became effective for Lantronix on a retrospective basis beginning with our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which will require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including disclosure of amounts for (i) purchases of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation and (iv) intangible asset amortization, included in each relevant expense caption. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard will be effective for our annual financial statements beginning in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2028. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard on our financial statement presentation and its related disclosures.
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.
