SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES | (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by AMREP Corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in two business segments: land development and homebuilding. The Company has no foreign sales or activities outside the United States. All references to the Company in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the Registrant and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary to reflect a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of what may occur in future periods. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to 2022 and 2021 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2022 and 2021. The unaudited consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on July 27, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). Certain 2021 balances in these financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the 2021 Form 10-K, except as described below. Share-based compensation: The Company accounts for awards of restricted stock, stock options and deferred stock units in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10, which requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and amortized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period). Compensation expense for awards of restricted stock, stock options and deferred stock units are based on the fair value of the awards at their grant dates. To estimate the grant-date fair value of stock options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model estimates the per share fair value of an option on its date of grant based on the following: the option’s exercise price; the price of the underlying stock on the date of grant; the estimated dividend yield; a “risk-free” interest rate; the estimated option term; and the expected volatility. For the “risk-free” interest rate, the Company uses a U.S. Treasury bond due in a number of years equal to the option’s expected term. To estimate expected volatility, the Company analyzes the historic volatility of the Company’s common stock. New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for companies related to tax allocations and simplifies when companies recognize deferred tax liabilities in an interim period. ASU 2019-12 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 by the Company did not have any effect on its consolidated financial statements. There are no other new accounting standards or updates to be adopted that the Company currently believes might have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
