NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed).

 

The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, that we filed on March 26, 2020.

 

Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the amounts of expenses during the reported years. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the latest annual audited financial statements with the exception of the following:

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses" to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020. There was not a material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements," which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements and is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. This standard did not have a material effect on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18 – "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808)," which clarifies the interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

  C. Recent Accounting Standards:

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
