Note 3 – New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes
Adoption of New Accounting Policies
In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2021-10,
Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (“ASU
2021-10”).
The update serves to increase transparency in the disclosure and presentation of government assistance, thus, providing comparable and transparent information to investors and other financial statement users to enable them to understand the financial results and prospects for future cash flows. ASU
2021-10
provides some guidance on disclosures including information about the nature of the transaction, accounting policy applied, significant terms and conditions, as well as commitments and contingencies. The amendments in the update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with an earlier application also permitted. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued FASB Accounting Standard Updates
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2021-08,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The update provides an improvement to the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing differences and inconsistencies related to the recognition of acquired contract liability, and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The amendment requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize, and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. For public business entities, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, while for all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The FASB provides that the guidance be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is in the process of determining the effects adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The FASB specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
