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 condensed 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. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to the Company in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary to reflect a fair statement 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 2024 and 2023 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2024 and 2023. The unaudited condensed 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, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on July 25, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The significant accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the 2023 Form 10-K, except for the following newly adopted policies:
| ● | Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value because of changes in interest rates. A debt security is classified as a cash equivalent if it meets these criteria and has an original maturity of ninety days or less when purchased. Restricted cash consists of cash deposits with a bank that are restricted due to subdivision improvement agreements with a governmental authority. Interest payments on cash and cash equivalents are recorded as income on the statement of operations.
| ● | Short-Term Investments: Short-term investments are held-to-maturity debt investments that have original maturities of greater than ninety days when purchased and remaining maturities of less than one year. Held-to-maturity debt investments are debt investments, such as certificates of deposit and U.S. government securities, that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity debt investments are recorded at their original purchase amount (and are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable) with interest payments recorded as income on the statement of operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-07, Segment Reporting, which provides for enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2019-07 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2019-07 by the Company is not expected to have a material 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
