NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 entitled Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Essentially ASU 2023-09 requires significantly more granularity regarding the items that impact the determination and disclosure of the effective income tax rate. The effective income tax rate reconciliation will be broken down into nine tax categories, as applicable and requires a lower materiality threshold related to income tax disclosures. This disclosure standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which means that the Company will adopt this standard effective November 1, 2026. The Company has all the information available to make these disclosures and is reviewing the best way to present the information in accordance with ASU 2023-09.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 entitled Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense (ASU 2024-03). The FASB issued ASU 2024-03 to improve the disclosure about a public business entity’s expense and to address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion) included in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development. This is a disclosure-only standard, and the Company expects to adopt ASU 2024-03 on November 1, 2026, and include the interim disclosures beginning with our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2027.

In March 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-02, Liabilities (Topic 405): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122. Certain Securities and Exchange Commission rules are included in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. ASU 2025-02 incorporates those amendments into the Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU doesn’t change any GAAP, and the Company is already subject to all the SEC’s rules and regulations, so ASU 2025-02 will not have any effect on the Company.

In November 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-05, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. There are two amendments in ASU 2025-05, only one of which relates to public companies. That amendment permits a company to assume that the economic conditions at the time of a sale that is recorded in current accounts receivable and any related contract assets are reflective of future economic conditions, such that an entity does not need to consider future economic changes in its determination of its allowance for credit losses. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 will be effective for public companies for annual reporting periods after beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company will adopt ASU 2025-05 on its effective date.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2025 and 2024

In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The amendments in ASU 2025-10 address when it is appropriate to recognize a government grant and how to account for that government grant. In accordance with ASU 2025-10, government grants will be realized ratably over the life of an asset or as deferred income if the government grant relates to amounts that offset an entity’s operating costs. The accounting in ASU 2025-10 is not applicable to transactions within the scope of Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, below-market interest rate loans and government guarantees. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and early adoption is permitted. The Company receives government grants from time to time and will implement the standard on its effective date.

In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in ASUY 2025-11 are more organizational in nature in that they are consolidating the interim reporting requirements in other Accounting Standards Codification topics to make Topic 270 more understandable and easier to use and they have added one additional disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company will comply with the amendments in this standard beginning on the effective date.

In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-12 entitled Codification Improvements. ASU 2025-12 is the latest in a series of updates that the FASB makes to the existing GAAP literature to amend or supplement that literature related to minor changes and corrections that have identified and made amendments to 33 Accounting Standard Codification topics. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods that begin after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Based on the Company’s review of ASU 2025-12, it is not expected that any of the amendments will have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.
