NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (“Jerash Holdings”) is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 20, 2016. Jerash Holdings is a parent holding company with no operations. Jerash Holdings, and its subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) are herein collectively referred to as the “Company.”

Jerash Garments and Fashions Manufacturing Company Limited (“Jerash Garments”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jerash Holdings and was established in Amman, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (“Jordan”), as a limited liability company on November 26, 2000 with a declared capital of 150,000 Jordanian Dinar (“JOD”) (approximately US$212,000) as of September 30, 2020.

Jerash for Industrial Embroidery Company (“Jerash Embroidery”) and Chinese Garments and Fashions Manufacturing Company Limited (“Chinese Garments”) were both incorporated in Amman, Jordan, as limited liability companies on March 11, 2013 and June 13, 2013, respectively, each with a declared capital of JOD50,000 as of September 30, 2020. Jerash Embroidery and Chinese Garments are wholly owned subsidiaries of Jerash Garments.

Al-Mutafaweq Co. for Garments Manufacturing Ltd. (“Paramount”) was a contract garment manufacturer that was incorporated in Amman, Jordan, as a limited liability company on October 24, 2004 with a declared capital of JOD100,000. On December 11, 2018, Jerash Garments and the sole stockholder of Paramount entered into an agreement pursuant to which Jerash Garments acquired all of the outstanding shares of stock of Paramount. Jerash Garments assumed ownership of all of the machinery and equipment owned by Paramount. Paramount had no other significant assets or liabilities and no operating activities or employees at the time of this acquisition, so this transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. As of June 18, 2019, Paramount became a subsidiary of Jerash Garments.

Jerash the First for Medical Supplies Manufacturing Company Limited (“Jerash the First”) was incorporated in Amman, Jordan, as a limited liability company on July 6, 2020, with a registered capital of JOD150,000. Jerash the First is engaged in the production of medical supplies in Jordan and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jerash Garments.

Treasure Success International Limited (“Treasure Success”) was incorporated on July 5, 2016 in Hong Kong, China, for the primary purpose of employing staff from China to support Jerash Garments’ operations and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jerash Holdings.

Victory Apparel (Jordan) Manufacturing Company Limited (“Victory Apparel”) was incorporated as a limited liability company in Amman, Jordan, on September 18, 2005 with a declared capital of JOD50,000. Victory Apparel has no significant assets or liabilities or other operating activities of its own. Although Jerash Garments does not own the equity interest of Victory Apparel, the Company’s president, director, and significant stockholder, Mr. Choi Lin Hung (“Mr. Choi”), is also a director of Victory Apparel and controls all decision-making for Victory Apparel along with another significant stockholder of Jerash Garments, Mr. Lee Kian Tjiauw (“Mr. Lee”), who has the ability to control Victory Apparel’s financial affairs. In addition, Victory Apparel’s equity at risk is not sufficient to permit it to operate without additional subordinated financial support from Jerash Garments. Based on these facts, the Company concluded that Jerash Garments has effective control over Victory Apparel due to Mr. Choi’s roles at both organizations and therefore Victory Apparel is considered a VIE under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-05-08A. Accordingly, Jerash Garments consolidates Victory Apparel’s operating results, assets, and liabilities.

Jiangmen Treasure Success Business Consultancy Company Limited (“Jiangmen Treasure Success”) was incorporated on August 28, 2019 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) in Guangzhou City of Guangdong Province in China with a total registered capital of 3 million Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) (approximately $385,000) to provide support in sales and marketing, sample development, merchandising, procurement, and other areas. Treasure Success owns 100% of the equity interests in Jiangmen Treasure Success.

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and exporting of customized, ready-made sport and outerwear from knitted fabric produced in its facilities in Jordan and sold in the United States, Jordan, and other countries.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Jerash Holdings, and its subsidiaries and VIE. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which a company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIEs. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s VIE, Victory Apparel, was inactive for the six months ended September 30, 2020, and the net assets of the VIE were approximately $0.3 million as of each of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory reserve, useful lives of buildings and other property, and the measurement of stock-based compensation expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2020, and March 31, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash used as security deposits to obtain credit facilities from a bank and to secure customs clearance under the requirements of local regulations. The Company is required to keep certain amounts on deposit that are subject to withdrawal restrictions. These security deposits at the bank are refundable only when the bank facilities are terminated. The restricted cash is classified as a non-current asset since the Company has no intention to terminate these bank facilities within one year.

Short-term Investments

The Company’s short-term investments consist of financial products purchased from banks. The bank invests the Company’s funds in certain financial instruments including money market funds, bonds, and mutual funds, with an expected annual return of 5%. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term investments approximate fair value because of their liquidity. The gain and interest earned are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) over the contractual terms of these investments. The Company exited the investment before September 30, 2020.

The Company had short-term investments of $Nil and $Nil as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded a realized gain of $64,692 and $Nil for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company usually grants extended payment terms to customers with good credit standing and determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivable balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Actual amounts received may differ from management’s estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. An allowance was recorded totaling $45,167 and $4,641 as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories include cost of raw materials, freight, direct labor, and related production overhead. The cost of inventories is determined using the First in, First-out method. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess or slow-moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly reflect inventory value.

Advance to Suppliers

Advance to suppliers consists of balances paid to suppliers for services or materials purchased that have not been provided or received. Advance to suppliers for services and materials is short term in nature. Advance to Suppliers is reviewed periodically to determine whether its carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the collectability of the advance becomes doubtful. The Company uses the aging method to estimate the allowance for uncollectible balances. In addition, at each reporting date, the Company generally determines the adequacy of allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating all available information, and then records specific allowances for those advances based on the specific facts and circumstances. Allowance was $13,396 and $2,000 as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, reduced by accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the initial lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives of depreciation and amortization of the principal classes of assets are as follows:

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Factors which may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. The fair value is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows or comparable market values, if available. The Company did not record any impairment loss during the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales, which consist of sales of the Company’s customized ready-made outerwear for large brand-name retailers and personal protective equipment. The Company considers purchase orders to be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short term when the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of the performance obligations is equal to or less than one year, and virtually all of the Company’s contracts are short term. The Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in contracts with customers upon shipment of the goods. Generally, payment is due from customers within seven to 150 days of the invoice date, and the contracts do not have significant financing components. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are not an obligation of the Company. Returns and allowances are not a significant aspect of the revenue recognition process as historically they have been immaterial.

The Company also derives revenue rendering cutting and making services to other apparel vendors who subcontract orders to the Company, and the revenue is recognized when the service is rendered.

All of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time and the transaction price is stated in the contract, usually as a price per unit. All estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, and the Company’s best judgment at the time the estimate is made. Historically, sales returns have not significantly impacted the Company’s revenue.

The Company does not have any contract assets since the Company has an unconditional right to consideration when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and payment from customers is not contingent on a future event. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods. As of September 30, 2020, there was no revenue expected to be recognized in any future periods related to remaining performance obligations.

The Company has one revenue generating reportable geographic segment under ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting” and derives its sales primarily from its sales of customized ready-made outerwear. The Company believes disaggregation of revenue by geographic region best depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows (see “Note 14—Segment Reporting”).

Shipping and Handling

Proceeds collected from customers for shipping and handling costs are included in revenue. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses, as a part of selling, general and administrative expenses. Total shipping and handling expenses were $360,217 and $292,354 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Total shipping and handling expenses were $544,130 and $501,136 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled. Jerash Holdings is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is subject to federal income tax in the United States of America. Treasure Success is registered in Hong Kong and has no operating profit. Jiangmen Treasure Success is incorporated in China and is subject to corporate income tax in China. Jerash Garments, Jerash Embroidery, Chinese Garments, Paramount, Jerash the First, and Victory Apparel are subject to income tax in Jordan, unless an exemption is granted. The corporate income tax rate is 14% for the businesses classified within the industrial sector. In accordance with the Investment Encouragement Law, Jerash Garments’ export sales to overseas customers were entitled to a 100% income tax exemption for a period of 10 years commencing on the first day of production. This exemption had been extended for five years until December 31, 2018. Effective January 1, 2019, the Jordanian government changed some features of its tax incentive programs and Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries and VIE are now qualified for incentives applicable to an industrial park that houses manufacturing operations in Jordan (“Development Zone”), a change from the previous incentive program relating to Qualifying Industrial Zone. In accordance with Development Zone law, Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries and VIE were subject to corporate income tax in Jordan at a rate of 10% plus a 1% social contribution. Effective January 1, 2020, that rate increased to 14% plus a 1% social contribution.

Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries and VIE are subject to local sales tax of 16% on purchases. Jerash Garments was granted a sales tax exemption from the Jordanian Investment Commission for the period from June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2018 that allowed Jerash Garments to make purchases with no sales tax charge. This exemption has been extended to February 5, 2021.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Under this accounting standard, the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that an entity recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. No significant uncertainty in tax positions relating to income taxes were incurred during six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Foreign Currency Translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar (“US$” or “$”). The Company uses JOD as its functional currency in Jordanian companies, HKD in Treasure Success, and Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) in Jiangmen Treasure Success as functional currency of each abovementioned entity. The assets and liabilities of the Company have been translated into US$ using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, equity accounts have been translated at historical rates, and revenue and expenses have been translated into US$ using average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods. Therefore, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Foreign Currency Translation (Continued)

The value of JOD against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in Jordan’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of JOD may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting. The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the consolidated financial statements in this report:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based awards to non-employee contractors and directors based upon the awards’ initial grant-date fair value. The estimated grant-date fair value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes model. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected term of the option, expected risk-free rates of return, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, and expected dividend yield, each of which is more fully described below. The assumptions for expected term and expected volatility are the two assumptions that significantly affect the grant date fair value.

Earnings per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS (See “Note 13—Earnings per Share”).

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in JOD or HKD or CNY to US$ is reported in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

The Company considers the recorded value of its financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash, including restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, credit facilities, accounts payable, accrued expenses, income tax payable, other payables, and operating lease liabilities to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 based upon the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. As of September 30, 2020, and March 31, 2020, respectively, $8,678,214 and $6,894,641 of the Company’s cash was on deposit at financial institutions in Jordan, where there currently is no rule or regulation requiring such financial institutions to maintain insurance to cover bank deposits in the event of bank failure. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, $9,941 and $125,830 of the Company’s cash was on deposit at financial institutions in China, where there currently is no rule or regulation requiring such financial institutions to maintain insurance to cover bank deposits in the event of bank failure. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, $19,358,851 and $19,847,852 of the Company’s cash was on deposit at financial institutions in Hong Kong, which are insured by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board subject to certain limitations. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, $73,385 and $48,386 of the Company’s cash was on deposit in the United States and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, and therefore are exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by the Company’s assessment of its customers’ creditworthiness and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Concentrations and Credit Risk (Continued)

Customer and vendor concentration risk

The Company’s sales are made primarily in the United States. Its operating results could be adversely affected by U.S. government policies on exporting business, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and changes in local market conditions. The Company has a concentration of its revenue and purchases with specific customers and suppliers. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, one end-customer accounted for 74% and 87% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, one end-customer accounted for 76% and 91% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, one end-customers accounted for 78% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance. As of March 31, 2020, four end-customers accounted for 42%, 20%, 20%, and 14% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased approximately 20% of its garments from one major supplier. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased approximately 12% of its garments from one major supplier. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company purchased 18% and 13% of its raw materials from two major suppliers, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, the Company purchased approximately 24% and 11% of its raw materials from two major suppliers, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, accounts payable to the Company’s one major suppliers accounted for 47% of the total accounts payable balance. As of March 31, 2020, accounts payable to the Company’s three major suppliers accounted for 39%, 16%, and 10% of the total accounts payable balance, respectively.

Risks and Uncertainties

The principal operations of the Company are located in Jordan. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in Jordan, as well as by the general state of the Jordanian economy. The Company’s operations in Jordan are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory, and social conditions in Jordan. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.

The spread of COVID-19 around the world since March 2020 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. The Company’s sales declined in the first half of fiscal 2021. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies. Based on the assessment of the current economic environment, customer demand, and sales trend, and the negative impact from the prolonged COVID-19 outbreak and spread, the Company’s revenue and operating cash flows may be lower than expected for fiscal year 2021.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. This ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of the Company’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. For all other entities, this guidance and its amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. As an emerging growth company, the Company plans to adopt this guidance effective April 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
