| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACM and its subsidiaries. ACM’s subsidiaries are those entities in which ACM, directly or indirectly, controls a majority of the voting power. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in ACM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise noted. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Common Stock Split Unless otherwise indicated, all prior period share and per share amounts, common stock, other capital, and retained earnings information presented in the accompanying financial statements and these notes thereto reflect the impact of the Stock Split (Note 1). Proportional adjustments were also made to outstanding awards under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Reclassification Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the accompanying notes. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on the previously reported financial statements. Recent Restrictions by U.S. Department of Commerce, Japan and Netherlands for PRC-based Semiconductor Producers Substantially all of ACM Shanghai’s customers and a significant portion of its operations are based in the PRC. In 2022, Shanghai Huali Microelectronics Corporation, together with Huahong Semiconductor Ltd., collectively known as The Shanghai Huahong (Group) Company, Ltd., or The Huali Huahong Group, a leading PRC-based foundry, accounted for 18.2% of our revenue; Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, or SMIC, a leading PRC-based foundry, accounted for 15.6% of our revenue; and Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd., or YMTC, a leading PRC-based memory chip company, together with one of its subsidiaries, accounted for 10.0% of our revenue. In 2021, The Huali Huahong Group accounted for 28.1% of our revenue; and YMTC, together with one of its subsidiaries, accounted for 20.8% of our revenue. In early October 2022 the U.S. government enacted new rules aimed at restricting U.S. support for the PRC’s ability to manufacture advanced semiconductors. The rules include new export license requirements for exports, re-exports or transfers to or within the PRC of additional types of semiconductor manufacturing items, items for use in manufacturing designated types of semiconductor manufacturing equipment in the PRC, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment for use at certain IC manufacturing and development facilities in the PRC. In addition, the U.S. government imposed new restrictions by which U.S. persons anywhere in the world are effectively barred from engaging in certain activities related to the development and production of certain semiconductors at PRC fabrication facilities meeting specified criteria, even if no items subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations or EAR are involved. ACM Shanghai has determined that several of its customers have PRC-based facilities that meet the restricted criteria, and has also determined that several of its products, and/or components for its products, may meet the parameters of export control classification numbers, or ECCNs, affected by the restrictions. Accordingly, depending on the details of the final implementation of these new restrictions and associated licensing policies, ACM may not be able to import, or may face substantial restrictions in importing, certain parts from the United States or parts subject to U.S. export controls from outside the United States to support tool shipments to such facilities, or to be embedded into tools defined by affected ECCNs. ACM and ACM Shanghai have implemented modifications to their existing business policies and practices in response to the new restrictions, including by imposing limitations on the activities of their U.S. persons and undertaking measures in connection with their supply chains more broadly to comply with the new regulations. ACM and ACM Shanghai believe that as a result of the new restrictions, several ACM Shanghai customers have significantly reduced production and related capital spending at facilities meeting the restricted advanced node capabilities. In addition, ACM Shanghai has experienced challenges as the companies in its supply chain adapt their policies to the new regulations. These factors had an adverse impact on ACM Shanghai’s shipments and sales for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, two prominent exporters of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, the Netherlands and Japan, announced and began to implement plans to join the United States in imposing semiconductor-focused export controls. On May 23, 2023, the Japanese government issued the final amendment to an ordinance implementing new export controls to require licensing for export of certain advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, effective as of July 23, 2023. The amendment expands the scope of export controls to prohibit (1) exporting twenty-three additional categories of items relating to semiconductor manufacturing and (2) providing technology relating to manufacturing, development or use of these categories of items, in both cases, without an advance license. While the expanded export controls apply to exports to any jurisdiction, exports to certain jurisdictions, such as the United States, are expected to be permitted by certain types of broad general licenses. However, it remains to be seen whether the Japanese government will authorize any exports of these items to the PRC by a limited general license or specific license, if at all. On June 30, 2023, the Government of the Netherlands published additional export control measures for advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The Regulation on Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment will enter into force on September 1, 2023. From that point on, the export of certain advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, as specified in the Annex to the Regulation , will be subject to a national export license authorization requirement by the Dutch Central Import and Export Service. As a result of the new restrictions imposed by the Japanese and Dutch governments, ACM Shanghai and/or several of its customers in the PRC may be impacted by, and required to reduce their production capabilities due to, the lack of, or reduced, ability to source items relating to semiconductor manufacturing from Japan and the Netherlands. In addition to the range of controls coming out of other jurisdictions, the United States is also reportedly considering expansions to existing semiconductor manufacturing export controls, any of which could potentially impact ACM and ACM Shanghai. ACM and ACM Shanghai anticipate these factors will continue to have an adverse impact on ACM Shanghai’s shipments and sales in future periods. See “Part II. Item 1A – Risk Factors – Regulatory Risks – Our ability to sell our tools to customers in the PRC has been impacted, and will likely continue to be materially and adversely impacted, by export license requirements, other regulatory changes, or other actions taken by the U.S. or other governmental agencies” for more information. COVID-19 Assessment Notwithstanding that the World Health Organization ended the public health emergency of international concern status for COVID-19 in May 2023, the worldwide COVID-19 health pandemic and related government and private sector responsive actions have adversely affected the economies and financial markets of many countries and specifically have negatively impacted the Company’s business operations, including in the PRC and the United States. The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic or related after-effects could continue to result in economic uncertainty and global economic policies that could reduce demand for the Company’s products and its customers’ chips and have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The Company conducts substantially all of its product development, manufacturing, support and services in the PRC, and those activities have been directly impacted by COVID-19 and related restrictions on transportation and public appearances. • In March 2022, several regions in China began to experience elevated levels of COVID-19 infections, and the PRC government instituted policies to restrict the spread of the virus. The policies began with an increase of “spot quarantines,” under which a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or other test would result in the quarantining of individual buildings, groups of buildings, or even full neighborhoods. The policies were later expanded to full-city quarantines, including in the City of Shanghai, where substantially all of ACM Shanghai’s operations are located. COVID-19 related restrictions in Shanghai began to limit employee access to, and logistics activities of, ACM Shanghai’s offices and production facilities in the Pudong district of Shanghai in March 2022, and therefore limited ACM Shanghai’s ability to ship finished products to customers and to produce new products. Spot quarantines in mid-March 2022 began to impact a number of ACM Shanghai’s employees and led to a closure of ACM Shanghai’s administrative and R&D offices in Zhangjiang in the Pudong district. A subsequent quarantine of the entire Pudong region of Shanghai was imposed in late March 2022 and impacted the operation of ACM Shanghai’s Chuansha production facility. Although the facility remained partially operational with a number of personnel staying on-site for a prolonged period, the level of production declined significantly versus more normal levels. Furthermore, a number of the Company’s customers have substantial operations based in operations areas of the PRC, including in the City of Shanghai, subject to full-city restrictions, which began limiting the operations of those customers in the first quarter of 2022, including inhibiting their ability to receive, implement and operate new tools for their manufacturing facilities. As a result, in some cases, ACM Shanghai was required to defer shipments of finished products to these customers because of operational and logistical limitations affecting customers other than, or in addition to, ACM Shanghai. • In late April 2022, ACM Shanghai began to increase the level of its operations at the Chuansha manufacturing site using the “closed loop method,” in which a limited collection of workers remain together as a group between a single hotel, the ACM Shanghai facility, and a dedicated bus transportation route, also referred to as “two spots and one line,” and had resumed substantially all of its Chuansha manufacturing site operations by the end of the second quarter of 2022. On July 1, 2022, the Company transitioned operations at the Chuansha facility to a more normal production process, in which workers were able to return home following their factory shifts. • In mid-June 2022, substantially all of ACM Shanghai’s R&D and administrative employees were allowed to return to work at the ZhangJiang facility following a 6-8 weeks period of restricted access during which many employees had continued to work from home. • With the relaxation of the PRC’s zero-COVID policies in December 2022, and the subsequent widespread infections of China’s population, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company experienced additional inefficiencies due in part to infections and the resultant absenteeism experienced by its employees and the general population of China. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s significant accounting estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those used for revenue recognition and deferred revenue, the valuation and recognition of fair value of trading securities, stock-based compensation arrangements, realization of deferred tax assets, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment and useful lives of intangible assets. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Correction of Immaterial Error in Prior Year During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company became aware of an immaterial error in its previously issued financial statements regarding deferred tax assets and equity income in net income of affiliates, in the net amount of $1.6 million. The change resulted in adjustment to increase retained earnings of $1.6 million as of January 1, 2023, investment in equity method affiliate, net of tax of $(0.8) million, and deferred tax assets of $2.4 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company evaluated the effect of these errors on the financial statements as of December 31, 2022, under ASC 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 “Materiality”, and Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”, and determined that these errors were not material to the previously issued financial statements. Change in Accounting Principle Prior to January 1, 2023, the Company's bad debt reserve was based on specific accounts that it deemed potentially uncollectible. Effective on January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (ASU 2016-13) that each reporting entity should estimate an allowance for expected credit losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of loss. Under the new approach, the Company expanded to include the certain percentage of bad debt reserve based on the outstanding accounts receivables aging. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 is considered as a change in accounting principle which requires using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align existing credit loss methodology with the new standard. The cumulative-effect adjustment, net of tax impact, to retained earnings as of January 1, 2023 was $(1,769). Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank deposits that are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase. At times, cash deposits may exceed government-insured limits. The following table presents cash and cash equivalents, according to jurisdiction as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: June 30, December 31, United States $ 23,732 $ 25,011 Mainland China 123,071 129,695 China Hong Kong 107,459 89,187 South Korea 3,107 4,007 Singapore 51 51 Total $ 257,420 $ 247,951 The amounts in mainland China do not include short-term and long-term time deposits which totaled $118,104 and $172,448 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash held in the U.S. exceeds the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits and is subject to risk of loss. No losses have been experienced to date. Cash amounts held by ACM Shanghai at PRC banks in mainland China are subject to a series of risk control regulatory standards from PRC bank regulatory authorities. ACM Shanghai is required to obtain approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) to transfer funds into or out of the PRC. SAFE requires a valid agreement to approve the transfers, which are processed through a bank. Other than these PRC foreign exchange restrictions, ACM Shanghai is not subject to any PRC restrictions and limitations on its ability to transfer funds to ACM Research or among our other subsidiaries. However, cash held by ACM Shanghai in mainland China does exceed applicable insurance limits and is subject to risk of loss, although no such losses have been experienced to date. ACM California periodically procures goods and services on behalf of ACM Shanghai. For these transactions, ACM Shanghai makes cash payments to ACM California in accordance with applicable transfer pricing arrangements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, cash payments from ACM Shanghai to ACM California for the procurement of goods and services was $14,500 and $25,431 respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, cash payments from ACM Shanghai to ACM California for the procurement of goods and services was $5,647 and $13,561 respectively ACM California periodically borrows funds for working capital advances from its direct parent, CleanChip. ACM California repays or renews these intercompany loans in accordance with their terms. For sales through CleanChip and ACM Research, a certain amount of sales or advanced payments from customers is repatriated back to ACM Shanghai in accordance with applicable transfer pricing arrangements in the ordinary course of business. ACM Research provides services to certain customers located in the U.S., Europe and other regions outside of mainland China to support the evaluation of first tools and provide support for tools under warranty on behalf of ACM Shanghai. For these transactions, ACM Shanghai makes cash payments to ACM Research, Inc. in accordance with applicable transfer pricing arrangements. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, with the exception of sales and services-related transfer-pricing payments in the ordinary course of business, no cash transfers, dividends or other payments or distributions have been made between ACM Research and ACM Shanghai. The Company intends to retain any future earnings to finance the operations and expenses of the business, and does not expect to distribute earnings or declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Amounts held in South Korea exceed the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits and is subject to risk of loss. No losses have been experienced to date. There is no additional restriction for the transfer of cash from bank accounts in the U.S., South Korea, and Hong Kong. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, with the exception of sales and services-related transfer-pricing payments in the ordinary course of business, no transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made between ACM Research and its subsidiaries, including ACM Shanghai, or to holders of ACM Research Class A common stock. Time Deposits Time deposits are deposited with banks in mainland China with fixed terms and interest rates which cannot be withdrawn before maturity. They are also subject to the risk control regulatory standards described above upon maturity. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, time deposits consisted of the following: June 30, December 31, Deposit in China Merchant Bank which will mature on January 29, 2023 with an annual interest rate of 2.25% $ — $ 38,772 Deposit in China Everbright Bank which will mature on January 29, 2023 with an annual interest rate of 2.25% $ — $ 14,360 Deposit in China Everbright Bank which will mature on May 22, 2023 with an annual interest rate of 5.07% $ — $ 3,000 Deposit in China Industrial Bank which will mature on January 30, 2023 with an annual interest rate of 2.15% $ — $ 14,360 Deposit in China Merchant Bank which will mature on January 29, 2024 with an annual interest rate of 2.85% $ 27,680 $ 28,720 Deposit in Bank of Ningbo which will mature on February 17, 2024 with an annual interest rate of 2.85% $ 41,520 $ 43,080 Deposit in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank which matures on October 20, 2025 with an annual interest rate of 3.10% $ 6,920 $ 7,180 Deposit in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank which matures on November 14, 2025 with an annual interest rate of 3.10% $ 6,920 $ 7,180 Deposit in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank which matures on December 8, 2025 with an annual interest rate of 3.10% $ 4,152 $ 4,308 Deposit in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank which matures on December 15, 2025 with an annual interest rate of 3.10% $ 4,152 $ 4,308 Deposit in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank which matures on December 30, 2025 with an annual interest rate of 3.10% $ 6,920 $ 7,180 Deposit in China Everbright Bank which will mature on July 4, 2023 with an annual interest rate of 5.82% $ 3,000 $ — Deposit in China Everbright Bank which will mature on November 22, 2023 with an annual interest rate of 5.43% $ 3,000 $ — Deposit in China Merchant Bank which will mature on January 30, 2026 with an annual interest rate of 3.15% $ 13,840 $ — $ 118,104 $ 172,448 For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, interest income related to time deposits was $937 and $951, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, interest income related to time deposits was $1,912 and $1,539, respectively. Financial Instruments The Company maintains an investment portfolio of various holdings, types, and maturities. Investments classified as trading securities are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices. Differences between the cost and fair value of trading securities are recognized as other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company periodically invests in equity securities. For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company records them using either 1) the measurement alternative which measures the equity investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes; or 2) the equity method whereby the Company recognizes its proportional share of the income or loss from the equity method investment on a one-quarter lag. The equity method is utilized when the Company does not have the ability to control the investee but is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating or financial policies. For equity investments that have a readily determinable fair value, the Company records them at fair market value on a recurring basis based upon quoted market prices. Realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from application of the measurement alternative, the impact of the application of the equity method to the Company’s equity investments, and recognition of changes in fair market value, as applicable, are recognized as other income (expense), net in the co ndensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The level of an asset or liability in the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Level 2: Valuations based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical assets or liabilities, or model-derived valuations techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Valuations based on unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities and based on non-binding, broker-provided price quotes and may not have been corroborated by observable market data. Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liabilities (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total As of June 30, 2023: Assets Cash equivalents $ 257,420 $ — $ — $ 257,420 Trading securities 6,375 — — 6,375 $ 263,795 $ — $ — $ 263,795 Liabilities Short-term borrowings $ — $ 53,976 $ — $ 53,976 Long-term borrowings — 19,138 — 19,138 $ — $ 73,114 $ — $ 73,114 As of December 31, 2022: Assets Cash equivalents $ 247,951 $ — $ — $ 247,951 Trading securities 20,209 — — 20,209 $ 268,160 $ — $ — $ 268,160 Liabilities Short-term borrowings $ — $ 56,004 $ — $ 56,004 Long-term borrowings — 21,009 — 21,009 $ — $ 77,013 $ — $ 77,013 Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share of Common Stock Basic and diluted net income per share of common stock are calculated as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Numerator: Net income $ 33,597 $ 16,748 $ 42,560 $ 9,305 Less: Net income attributable to non-controlling interests 6,772 4,512 8,590 2,855 Net income available to common stockholders, basic $ 26,825 $ 12,236 $ 33,970 $ 6,450 Less: Dilutive effect arising from stock-based awards by ACM Shanghai (303) (230) (395) (147) Net income available to common stockholders, diluted $ 26,522 $ 12,006 $ 33,575 $ 6,303 Weighted average shares outstanding, basic 59,898,149 59,177,643 59,817,903 59,003,484 Effect of dilutive securities 5,031,489 6,301,034 5,150,997 6,769,489 Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted 64,929,638 65,478,677 64,968,900 65,772,973 Net income per share of common stock: Basic $ 0.45 $ 0.21 $ 0.57 $ 0.11 Diluted $ 0.41 $ 0.18 $ 0.52 $ 0.10 ACM Research has been authorized to issue Class A and Class B common stock since redomesticating in Delaware in November 2016. The two classes of common stock are substantially identical in all material respects, except for voting rights. Since ACM Research did not declare any cash dividends during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022, the net income per share of common stock attributable to each class is the same under the “two-class” method. As such, the two classes of common stock have been presented on a combined basis in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and in the above computation of net income per share of common stock. Diluted net income per share of common stock reflects the potential dilution from securities, including stock options and issued warrants, that could share in ACM Research’s earnings. Certain potential dilutive securities were excluded from the net income per share calculation because the impact would be anti-dilutive. ACM Research’s potential dilutive securities consist of 302,561 and 394,756 stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 146,894 and 230,095 stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, and accounts receivable. The Company deposits and invests its cash with financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. The Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risks in its accounts receivable and revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, three customers accounted for 52.1% and four customers accounted for 59.7% of revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, one customer accounted for 17.5% and four customers accounted for 55% of revenue, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 40.3% and two customers accounted for 42.6%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivables. The Company believes that the receivable balances from these largest customers do not represent a significant credit risk based on past collection experience. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . ASU 2016-13 replaced the pre-existing 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. ASU 2016-13 requires use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted but the effective date is changed by ASU 2019-10 below. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates. In advance of the issuance of ASU 2019-10, the Company adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) since January 1, 2019. ASU 2019-10 defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the Company was eligible to be an SRC based on its SRC determination as of November 15, 2019 (which is the issuance date of ASU 2019-10) in accordance with SEC regulations, the Company has adopted amendments in ASU 2016-13 for the year beginning January 1, 2023. Adoption of the standard requires using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align existing credit loss methodology with the new standard. Please refer to change in accounting principle (Note 2) for details. Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In June 2022, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which clarifies how the fair values of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions is determined (Topic 820). The amendment clarifies that a contractual sale restriction should not be considered in measuring fair value. It also requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. This authoritative guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. |
