Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These financial statements include the accounts of all the directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries and VIEs listed below. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of the following subsidiaries and VIEs. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

Subsidiaries and VIEs  Place incorporated  Ownership
percentage
 
CACM  New York, USA   100%
BVI-ACM  British Virgin Island   100%
China-ACMH  Beijing, China   100%
Xin Ao  Beijing, China   VIE 

   

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.  The VIE with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIEs for financial reporting purposes.

  

Management makes ongoing assessments of whether China ACMH is the primary beneficiary of Xin Ao. Based upon a series of contractual arrangements, the Company determined that Xin Ao is a VIE subject to consolidation and that China ACMH is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the accounts of Xin Ao are consolidated with those of China ACMH.

 

The carrying amount of the VIE's assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

   June 30,   June 30, 
   2019   2018 
         
Current assets  $52,147,926   $50,219,221 
Property, plants and equipment   1,659,520    2,748,409 
Total assets   53,807,446    52,967,630 
           
Liabilities   (52,161,353)   (43,372,069)
Intercompany payables*   (7,328,943)   (7,705,339)
Total liabilities   (59,490,296)   (51,077,408)
Net (deficit) assets  $(5,682,850)  $1,890,222 

 

* Payables to China-ACMH and BVI-ACM have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates and assumptions

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, prepayments and advances, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, and fair value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could be materially different from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of BVI-ACM is the U.S. dollar. China-ACMH and Xin Ao use their local currency, the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") as their functional currency. In accordance with U.S. GAAP guidance on Foreign Currency Translation, the Company's results of operations and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, 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.

  

Asset and liability accounts at June 30, 2019 and 2018 were translated at RMB 6.87 and RMB 6.62 to USD$1.00, respectively. Equity accounts are translated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were RMB 6.83, RMB 6.51 and RMB 6.81 to USD$1.00, respectively.

 

Translation gains (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. There were no foreign currency transaction gains or losses for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included in shareholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

 

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of July 1, 2018. The core principle underlying revenue recognition is that the Company recognizes its revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This requires the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.  The Company's revenue streams are primarily recognized at a point in time, principally upon delivery.

 

The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no material differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.

 

Sales of concrete products

 

The Company continues to derive its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon delivery of products. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied and based on when control of goods transfer to a customer, which is generally similar to when its delivery has occurred prior to July 1, 2018.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments

 

US GAAP, regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

 

Level 1inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

Level 2inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument;

 

Level 3inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.

 

Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents cash held by banks as guarantee deposit collateralizing notes payable. 

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis. The Company's years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 statements of cash flows have been retroactively presented and adopted this guidance.

Accounts and notes receivable, net

Accounts and notes receivable, net

 

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Accounts are considered past due after 180 days. In establishing the required allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers historical experience, the economic environment, trends in the construction industry and the expected collectability of the overdue receivables. Management reviews its accounts receivable each reporting period to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovering is considered remote. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts provision of 15% for accounts receivable balances that are past due more than 180 days but less than one year, an allowance for doubtful accounts provision of 40% for accounts receivable past due from one to two years, an allowance for doubtful accounts provision of 75% for accounts receivable past due beyond two years, an allowance for doubtful accounts provision of 100% for accounts receivable past due beyond three years, plus additional amounts as necessary when the Company's collection department determines the collection of the full amount is remote and the Company's management approves 100% of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company's management has continued to evaluate the reasonableness of its valuation allowance policy and will update it if necessary. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company made $21,191,849 and $19,291,772 allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable, respectively.

 

Notes receivable represents commercial notes due from various customers where the customers' banks have guaranteed the payments. The notes are noninterest bearing and normally paid within three to six months. The Company has the ability to submit requests for payments to the customer's banks earlier than the scheduled payments date, but will incur an interest charge and a processing fee.

Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company determined that no allowance was necessary.

Other receivables

Other receivables

 

Other receivables primarily include prepayments to be refunded by our suppliers if the supplies do not meet the Company's specification needs, advances to employees, amounts due from unrelated entities refundable, VAT tax and other deposits. Management regularly reviews the aging of these receivables and changes in payment trends and records an allowance when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off against the allowance after exhaustive efforts at collection are made. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts of 5% for other receivables balances that are aged within one year, an allowance for doubtful accounts of 50% for other receivables aged from one to two years, and an allowance for doubtful accounts of 100% for other receivables aged beyond two years. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company made $263,049 and $208,097 allowance for doubtful accounts for other receivables, respectively.

Prepayments and advances

Prepayments and advances

 

Prepayments are funds deposited or advanced to outside vendors for future inventory purchases. As is standard practice in the PRC, many of the Company's vendors require a certain amount to be deposited with them as a guarantee that the Company will complete its purchases on a timely basis. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. The Company has legally binding contracts with its vendors, which require any outstanding prepayments to be returned to the Company when such contracts end. The Company provides a provision of 5% of the allowance for doubtful accounts for prepayments and advances that are aged from six months to one year and 10% of the allowance for doubtful accounts for prepayments and advances aged beyond one year.

 

The Company provided an allowance of approximately $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0 on unrealizable prepayments and advances for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company wrote off approximately $0, $0, and $0.2 million on unrealizable prepayments for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable assets and is computed using the straight-line method with a 5% residual value. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of estimated useful lives or remaining lease terms, as appropriate.

  

The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

 

    Useful life
Transportation equipment   7-10 years
Plant and machinery   10 years
Office equipment   5 years
Buildings and improvements   3-20 years

  

Construction-in-progress represents contractor and labor costs, design fees and inspection fees in connection with the construction of the Company's cement mixers, cafeteria, and office remodel. No depreciation is provided for construction-in-progress until it is completed and placed into service.

Accounting for long-lived assets

Accounting for long-lived assets

 

The Company classifies its long-lived assets into: (i) transportation equipment; (ii) plant and machinery; (iii) office equipment; and (iv) buildings and improvements.

 

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technological or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

If the value of an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less disposition costs.

 

There were no impairment charges for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

 

Competitive pricing pressures and changes in interest rates could materially and adversely affect the Company's estimates of future net cash flows to be generated by the long-lived assets, and thus could result in future impairment losses.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for employees at fair value on the grant date and recognizes the expense over the employee's requisite service period. The Company's expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination rate. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of an option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company's current and expected dividend policy.

 

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for non-employees at fair value on the grant date and recognizes the expense over the service provider's requisite service period.

 

Income taxes

 

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 740-10, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," defines uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position as a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. United States federal, state and local income tax returns prior to 2016 are not subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities. PRC tax returns filed for calendar years ended December 31, 2016 to 2018 are subject to examination by the applicable tax authorities.

Value Added Tax

Value Added Tax

 

Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance, or import and export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax. The standard VAT rate for the Company's industry is 3% of gross sales, and revenues are presented net of VAT.

Research and development

Research and development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of materials and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses, either in research and development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment, and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share

 

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as warrants, options, restricted stock based grants and convertible preferred stock, to issue ordinary shares were exercised and converted into ordinary shares. Ordinary share equivalents having an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

 

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase ordinary shares at the average market price during the period. When the Company has a loss, no potential dilutive items are included since they would be antidilutive.

 

Stock dividends or stock splits are accounted for retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur during the period, or retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur after the end of the period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it effective as of the beginning of each period presented.

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update will require the recognition of a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The amendments is to assisting stakeholders with implementation questions and issues as organizations prepare to adopt the new leases standard affect the amendments in ASU 2016-02. Many stakeholders inquired about the following two requirements in the new leases standard: 1) Comparative reporting requirements for initial adoption and 2) For lessors only, separating lease and nonlease components in a contract and allocating the consideration in the contract to the separate components. ASU 2018-11 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted these updates on July 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 and 2018-11 will recognize additional operating liabilities of approximately $1.3 million, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases with a term longer than 12 months.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues: (1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs; (2) Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing; (3) Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination; (4) Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims; (5) Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned; (6) Life Insurance Policies; (7) Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees; (8) Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests held through related parties that are under common control. The amendments in this ASU require that the reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, to include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-18, "Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash". The amendments address diversity in practice that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.  

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU on July 1, 2019 will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees, which nonemployee share-based payment awards within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when the goods have been delivered or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. The definition of the term grant date is amended to generally state the date at which a grantor and a grantee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share based payment award. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Management plans to adopt this ASU during the quarter ending September 2019. Management does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement". ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2020. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders' concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
