Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) to communicate changes to the codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Effective January 1,2024, we early adopted ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60); Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which better reflects the economics of crypto assets, measuring those assets at fair value versus the current cost-less-impairment accounting model. An entity is required to measure crypto assets at fair value with changes recognized in net income each reporting period and report the crypto asset fair value separately from other intangible assets in the balance sheet. As of the effective adoption date, management determined the cumulative retained earnings impact, net of taxes, was $0.1 million.

 

Effective January 1, 2025, we adopted ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740); Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of tax disclosures. The Company adopted this update January 1, 2025 for annual reporting. See Note 10 for the additional tax 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.
