BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Ultralife Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Ultralife”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet information referenced herein was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

 

Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, in consultation with third party experts, the Company completed an analysis to determine and verify its eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes under Section 2301 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES Act”) and the American Rescue Plan of 2021, and filed the necessary amended payroll tax forms with the Internal Revenue Service to claim a refund for the credit. The ERC refund receivable of $1,544 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, and the benefit is recognized as other income on our consolidated statement of income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, 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 was effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
