AMREP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Three Months Ended July 31, 20192020 and 20182019

 

(1)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 one business segment: the real estate business. The Company has no foreign sales or activities outside the United States.sales. 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 20202021 and 20192020 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 20202021 and 20192020 and all references to the first quarters of 20202021 and 20192020 mean the fiscal three month periods ended July 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

 

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, 2019,2020, which was filed with the SEC on July 26, 201927, 2020 (the “2019“2020 Form 10-K”). Certain 20192020 balances in these financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no effect on net income or loss(loss) 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 20192020 Form 10-K, except for those adopted as described below.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016,August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02,Leases. Since that date, the FASB has issued additional ASUs providing further guidance for lease transactions (collectively “ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In addition, ASU 2016-02 requires fixed lease payments under tenant leases to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease where the Company is lessor. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under the straight-line method and contractual lease payments is recorded within Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 was effective for the Company on May 1, 2019, with the Company recognizing and measuring leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In the quarter ended July 31, 2019, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities amounted to $198,000 as a result of adoption of ASU 2016-02. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 by the Company did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 addresses several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions, including share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 was effective for the Company on May 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 by the Company had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.


In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits but does not require the reclassification to retained earnings of certain tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act related to items in accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2018-02 may be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized or may be applied in the period of adoption. ASU 2018-02 was effective for the Company on May 1, 2019. The Company had no such tax effects and therefore the adoption of ASU 2018-02 had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):Measurement: Disclosure Framework-ChangesFramework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.Measurement. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements. ASU 2018-13 will bewas effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginningCompany on May 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 by the Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU willdid not have a material effect on the Company’sits consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14,Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.ASU 2018-14 removes disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of disclosures and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant for companies with defined benefit retirement plans. ASU 2018-14 was effective for the Company on May 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-14 by the Company did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2020.2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
