Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: a. General: 1) Incorporation and operations Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, unless the context indicates otherwise) was incorporated on April 12, 2002. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd. to acquire the provisional patent related to an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes. On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is engaged in research and development. On July 30, 2019, the Subsidiary incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, Oramed HK Limited (the “Hong Kong Subsidiary”). As of December 31, 2021, the Hong Kong Subsidiary has no operations. On March 18, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Oravax License Agreement”) with Oravax Medical Inc. (“Oravax”) and into a stockholders agreement with Akers Biosciences Inc. (“Akers”), Premas Biotech Pvt. Ltd. (“Premas”), Cutter Mill Capital LLC and Run Ridge LLC (the “Stockholders Agreement”). According to the Stockholders Agreement, Oravax issued 1,890,000 shares of its capital stock to the Company, representing 63% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Oravax, on a fully diluted basis, as of the date of issuance. Consequently, Oramed consolidates Oravax in its consolidated financial statements since that time. 2) Change in Fiscal Year On February 28, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a change of the Company’s fiscal year from the period beginning on September 1 and ending on August 31 to the period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31. As a result, this report on Form 10-Q is a transition report and includes financial information for the transition period from September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, or the Transition Period. Subsequent to this report, the Company’s fiscal year will begin on January 1 and end on December 31. 3) Development and Liquidity Risks The Company is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field for innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules for delivery of other polypeptides, and has not generated significant revenues from its operations. Based on the Company’s current cash resources and commitments, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months, although no assurance can be given that the Company will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in its operating expenses, the Company may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months. Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prior to selling its products within the United States, obtaining foreign regulatory approvals to sell its products internationally, or entering into licensing agreements with third parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. The Company also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of its product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on the Company’s ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities. In addition to the foregoing, based on the Company’s current assessment, the Company does not expect any material impact on its development timeline and its liquidity due to the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus. However, the Company has experienced delays in clinical trials due to slow-downs of recruitment for trials generally. The Company may experience further delays if the pandemic continues for an extended period of time and it is continuing to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented by governments to combat the virus throughout the world. b. Loss per common share Basic and diluted net loss per common share are computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The weighted average number of common stock options, warrants and RSUs excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss was 3,894,588 and 5,268,347 for the four month periods ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. c. Revenue recognition On November 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement (the “TLA”), with Hefei Tianhui Incubator of Technologies Co. Ltd. (“HTIT”) and on December 21, 2015, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Technology License Agreement that was further amended by the parties on June 3, 2016 and July 24, 2016 (the “HTIT License Agreement”). The HTIT License Agreement and a stock purchase agreement, dated November 30, 2015, between the Company and HTIT (the “SPA”) were considered a single arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company allocated the total consideration of $49,500 between the HTIT License Agreement and the SPA according to their fair value, as follows: $10,617 was allocated to the issuance of common stock (less issuance expenses of $23), based on the quoted price of the Company’s shares on the closing date of the SPA on December 28, 2015, and $38,883 was allocated to the HTIT License Agreement. Under Accounting Standard Codification, (“ASC”) 606, the Company identified a single performance obligation in the agreement and determined that the license and services are not distinct as the license and services are highly dependent on each other. In other words, HTIT cannot benefit from the license without the related services, and vice versa. Since the customer benefits from the services as the entity performs, revenue is recognized over time through the expected product submission date in June 2023, using the input method. The Company used the input method to measure the process for the purpose of recognizing revenue, which approximates the straight line attribution. The Company used significant judgment when it determined the product submission date. Under ASC 606, the consideration that the Company would be entitled to upon the achievement of contractual milestones, which are contingent upon the occurrence of future events, are a form of variable consideration. When assessing the portion, if any, of such milestones-related consideration to be included in the transaction price, the Company first assesses the most likely outcome for each milestone and excludes the consideration related to milestones of which the occurrence is not considered the most likely outcome. The Company then evaluates if any of the variable consideration determined in the first step is constrained by including in the transaction price variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company used significant judgment when it determined the first step of variable consideration. The potential future royalty consideration is also considered a form of variable consideration under ASC 606 as it is based on a percentage of potential future sales of the Company’s products. However, the Company applies the sales-based royalty exception and accordingly will recognize the sales-based royalty amounts when the related sale has occurred. To date, the Company has not recognized any royalty-related revenue. As of December 31, 2021, an aggregate amount of $22,382 was allocated to the HTIT License Agreement, all of which were received through the balance sheet date. Through December 31, 2021, the Company has recognized revenue associated with this agreement in the aggregate amount of $16,339, of which $904 was recognized in the transition period between September 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, and deferred the remaining amount of $6,043 which is presented as deferred revenues on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. d. Condensed consolidated financial statements preparation The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and, on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted in this interim period report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2021 Form 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year’s results. e. Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance will be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that year. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS | NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS: a. In March 2011, the Subsidiary sold shares of its investee company, Entera Bio Ltd. (“Entera”) to D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd. (“D.N.A”), retaining 117,000 ordinary shares (after giving effect to a stock split by Entera in July 2018). In consideration for the shares sold to D.N.A, the Company received, among other payments, ordinary shares of D.N.A (see also note 4). As part of this agreement, the Subsidiary entered into a patent transfer agreement according to which the Subsidiary assigned to Entera all of its rights to a patent application related to the oral administration of proteins that it has licensed to Entera since August 2010, in return for royalties of 3% of Entera’s net revenues and a license back of that patent application for use in respect of diabetes and influenza. As of December 31, 2021, Entera had not paid any royalties to the Subsidiary. On December 11, 2018, Entera announced that it had entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with Amgen, Inc. (“Amgen”). To the extent the Amgen license results in net revenues as defined in the patent transfer agreement, the Subsidiary will be entitled to the aforementioned royalties. As part of a consulting agreement with a third party dated February 15, 2011, the Subsidiary is obliged to pay this third party royalties of 8% of the net royalties received in respect of the patent that was sold to Entera in March 2011. b. According to the HTIT License Agreement, the Company granted HTIT an exclusive commercialization license in the territory of the People’s Republic of China, Macau and Hong Kong (the “Territory”), related to the Company’s oral insulin capsule, ORMD-0801 (the “Product”). Pursuant to the HTIT License Agreement, HTIT will conduct, at its own expense, certain pre-commercialization and regulatory activities with respect to the Subsidiary’s technology and ORMD-0801 capsule, and will pay to the Subsidiary (i) royalties of 10% on net sales of the related commercialized products to be sold by HTIT in the Territory (“Royalties”), and (ii) an aggregate of $37,500, of which $3,000 was payable immediately, $8,000 will be paid subject to the Company entering into certain agreements with certain third parties, and $26,500 will be paid upon achievement of certain milestones and conditions. In the event that the Company does not meet certain conditions, the Royalties rate may be reduced to a minimum of 8%. Following the final expiration of the Company’s patents covering the technology in the Territory in 2033, the Royalties rate may be reduced, under certain circumstances, to 5%. The royalty payment obligation shall apply during the period of time beginning upon the first commercial sale of the Product in the Territory, and ending upon the later of (i) the expiration of the last-to-expire licensed patents in the Territory; and (ii) 15 years after the first commercial sale of the Product in the Territory (the “Royalty Term”). The HTIT License Agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration of the Royalty Term. The HTIT License Agreement contains customary termination provisions. Among others, the Company’s involvement through the product submission date will include consultancy for the pre-commercialization activities in the Territory, as well as advisory services to HTIT on an ongoing basis. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has received milestone payments in an aggregate amount of $20,500 as follows: the initial payment of $3,000 was received in January 2016. Following the achievement of certain milestones, the second and third payments of $6,500 and $4,000, respectively, were received in July 2016, the fourth milestone payment of $4,000 was received in October 2016 and the fifth milestone payment of $3,000 was received in January 2019. On August 21, 2020, the Company received a letter from HTIT, disputing certain pending payment obligations of HTIT under the TLA. The payment obligation being disputed is $6,000, out of which only an amount of $2,000 has been received and has been included in deferred revenue in each of the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and as of August 31, 2021. The Company wholly disputes the claims made by HTIT and has been engaged in discussions and exchanges with HTIT in an attempt to clarify and resolve disagreements between the parties regarding milestone payments and work plan implementation. In addition, on November 30, 2015, the Company entered into the SPA with HTIT, according to which, the Company issued 1,155,367 shares of common stock to HTIT for $12,000. The transaction closed on December 28, 2015. The HTIT License Agreement and the SPA were considered a single arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company allocated the total consideration of $49,500 between the HTIT License Agreement and the SPA according to their fair value, as follows: $10,617 was allocated to the issuance of common stock (less issuance expenses of $23), based on the quoted price of the Company’s shares on the closing date of the SPA on December 28, 2015, and $38,883 was allocated to the HTIT License Agreement. The Company determined that revenues are recognized over time through the expected product submission date in June 2023. In July 2015, according to the letter of intent signed between the parties or their affiliates, HTIT’s affiliate paid the Subsidiary a non-refundable amount of $500 as a no-shop fee. The no-shop fee was deferred and the related revenue is recognized over the estimated term of the HTIT License Agreement. c. On December 18, 2017, the Subsidiary entered into an agreement with a vendor for the process development and production of one of its oral capsule ingredients in the amount of $2,905 that will be paid over the term of the engagement and based on the achievement of certain development milestones, of which $1,592 was recognized in research and development expenses through December 31, 2021. d. On September 2, 2020 (effective as of January 15, 2020), the Subsidiary entered into a CRO Services Agreement with a third party to retain it as a clinical research organization (“CRO”) for the Subsidiary’s phase 3 clinical trial for its oral insulin. As consideration for its services, the Subsidiary will pay the CRO a total amount of $21,589 during the term of the engagement and based on achievement of certain milestones, of which $10,235 was recognized in research and development expenses through December 31, 2021. e. On September 16, 2020 (effective as of January 15, 2020), the Subsidiary entered into a CRO Services Agreement with a third party to retain it as a CRO for the Subsidiary’s phase 3 clinical trial for its oral insulin. As consideration for its services, the Subsidiary will pay the CRO a total amount of $12,343 during the term of the engagement and based on achievement of certain milestones, of which $4,926 was recognized in research and development expenses through December 31, 2021. f. On December 2, 2021, the Subsidiary entered into an addendum (the “Addendum”) to the current lease agreement for its facilities in Israel. The Addendum refers to the lease of an additional space of 264 square meters for a period of 60 months commencing February 1, 2022. The Subsidiary has the option to extend the period for another 60 months. The annual lease payment, including management fees, is approximately NIS 435 ($140). As security for its obligation under this lease agreement, the Company provided a bank guarantee in an amount equal to four monthly lease payments. For accounting purposes, the lease commenced on February 1, 2022 as the Subsidiary did not have access to the space until that date. g. Grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) Under the terms of the Company’s funding from the IIA, royalties of 3% are payable on sales of products developed from a project so funded, up to a maximum amount equaling 100%-150% of the grants received (dollar linked) with the addition of interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR. At the time the grants were received, successful development of the related projects was not assured. The total amount received through December 31, 2021 was $2,207 ($2,514 including interest). As of December 31, 2021, the liability to the IIA was $207. The royalty expenses which are related to the funded project were recognized in cost of revenues in the relevant periods. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE | NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE: The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial assets. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. As of December 31, 2021, the assets measured at fair value are comprised of equity securities (Level 1). The fair value of held to maturity bonds as presented in note 4 was based on a Level 2 measurement. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, short-term deposits and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of long-term deposits approximate their fair values due to the stated interest rates which approximate market rates. The amounts funded in respect of employee rights are stated at cash surrender value which approximates its fair value. There were no Level 3 items for the periods between September 1 through December 31, 2021 or September 1 through December 31, 2020. |

LEASES | NOTE 6 - LEASES The right-of-use asset and lease liability are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of adoption in determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on similar terms and payments and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The Company has various operating leases for office space and vehicles that expire through 2025. Below is a summary of our operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and August 31, 2021: December 31, August 31, Operating right-of-use assets $ 500 $ 533 Operating lease liabilities, current 130 130 Operating lease liabilities long-term 370 403 Total operating lease liabilities $ 500 $ 533 Minimum lease payments for the Company’s right-of-use assets over the remaining lease periods as of December 31, 2021 and August 31, 2021 are as follows: December 31, August 31, 2022 $ 155 $ 156 2023 140 138 2024 140 136 2025 93 136 Total undiscounted lease payments 528 565 Less: Interest* (28 ) (32 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 500 $ 533 * Future lease payments were discounted by 3% interest rate. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
General | a. General: 1) Incorporation and operations Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, unless the context indicates otherwise) was incorporated on April 12, 2002. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd. to acquire the provisional patent related to an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes. On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is engaged in research and development. On July 30, 2019, the Subsidiary incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, Oramed HK Limited (the “Hong Kong Subsidiary”). As of December 31, 2021, the Hong Kong Subsidiary has no operations. On March 18, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Oravax License Agreement”) with Oravax Medical Inc. (“Oravax”) and into a stockholders agreement with Akers Biosciences Inc. (“Akers”), Premas Biotech Pvt. Ltd. (“Premas”), Cutter Mill Capital LLC and Run Ridge LLC (the “Stockholders Agreement”). According to the Stockholders Agreement, Oravax issued 1,890,000 shares of its capital stock to the Company, representing 63% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Oravax, on a fully diluted basis, as of the date of issuance. Consequently, Oramed consolidates Oravax in its consolidated financial statements since that time. 2) Change in Fiscal Year On February 28, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a change of the Company’s fiscal year from the period beginning on September 1 and ending on August 31 to the period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31. As a result, this report on Form 10-Q is a transition report and includes financial information for the transition period from September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, or the Transition Period. Subsequent to this report, the Company’s fiscal year will begin on January 1 and end on December 31. 3) Development and Liquidity Risks The Company is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field for innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules for delivery of other polypeptides, and has not generated significant revenues from its operations. Based on the Company’s current cash resources and commitments, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months, although no assurance can be given that the Company will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in its operating expenses, the Company may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months. Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prior to selling its products within the United States, obtaining foreign regulatory approvals to sell its products internationally, or entering into licensing agreements with third parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. The Company also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of its product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on the Company’s ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities. In addition to the foregoing, based on the Company’s current assessment, the Company does not expect any material impact on its development timeline and its liquidity due to the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus. However, the Company has experienced delays in clinical trials due to slow-downs of recruitment for trials generally. The Company may experience further delays if the pandemic continues for an extended period of time and it is continuing to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented by governments to combat the virus throughout the world. b. Loss per common share Basic and diluted net loss per common share are computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The weighted average number of common stock options, warrants and RSUs excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss was 3,894,588 and 5,268,347 for the four month periods ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. c.

Revenue recognition | c. Revenue recognition On November 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement (the “TLA”), with Hefei Tianhui Incubator of Technologies Co. Ltd. (“HTIT”) and on December 21, 2015, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Technology License Agreement that was further amended by the parties on June 3, 2016 and July 24, 2016 (the “HTIT License Agreement”). The HTIT License Agreement and a stock purchase agreement, dated November 30, 2015, between the Company and HTIT (the “SPA”) were considered a single arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company allocated the total consideration of $49,500 between the HTIT License Agreement and the SPA according to their fair value, as follows: $10,617 was allocated to the issuance of common stock (less issuance expenses of $23), based on the quoted price of the Company’s shares on the closing date of the SPA on December 28, 2015, and $38,883 was allocated to the HTIT License Agreement. Under Accounting Standard Codification, (“ASC”) 606, the Company identified a single performance obligation in the agreement and determined that the license and services are not distinct as the license and services are highly dependent on each other. In other words, HTIT cannot benefit from the license without the related services, and vice versa. Since the customer benefits from the services as the entity performs, revenue is recognized over time through the expected product submission date in June 2023, using the input method. The Company used the input method to measure the process for the purpose of recognizing revenue, which approximates the straight line attribution. The Company used significant judgment when it determined the product submission date. Under ASC 606, the consideration that the Company would be entitled to upon the achievement of contractual milestones, which are contingent upon the occurrence of future events, are a form of variable consideration. When assessing the portion, if any, of such milestones-related consideration to be included in the transaction price, the Company first assesses the most likely outcome for each milestone and excludes the consideration related to milestones of which the occurrence is not considered the most likely outcome. The Company then evaluates if any of the variable consideration determined in the first step is constrained by including in the transaction price variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company used significant judgment when it determined the first step of variable consideration. The potential future royalty consideration is also considered a form of variable consideration under ASC 606 as it is based on a percentage of potential future sales of the Company’s products. However, the Company applies the sales-based royalty exception and accordingly will recognize the sales-based royalty amounts when the related sale has occurred. To date, the Company has not recognized any royalty-related revenue. As of December 31, 2021, an aggregate amount of $22,382 was allocated to the HTIT License Agreement, all of which were received through the balance sheet date. Through December 31, 2021, the Company has recognized revenue associated with this agreement in the aggregate amount of $16,339, of which $904 was recognized in the transition period between September 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, and deferred the remaining amount of $6,043 which is presented as deferred revenues on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. |
Condensed consolidated financial statements preparation | d. Condensed consolidated financial statements preparation The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and, on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted in this interim period report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2021 Form 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year’s results. |
Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted | e. Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance will be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that year. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
