Note 1. Basis of PresentationThe accompanying (a) condensed balance sheet as of Operating results for the interim periods presented are September 30, 2016, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the interim periods presented. not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other interim period, due to variability in customer purchasing patterns and seasonal, operating and other factors. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10 -K for the year ended September 30, 2016.
In preparation of the Company’s financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016 -09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The standard is required to be adopted by all companies in their first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016 but allows companies to early adopt prior to this date. The standard is intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting and presentation of share-based payments. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company elected to early adopt this standard as of October 1, 2015. Adoption of this standard impacted the previously filed 10 -Q for the period ended June 30, 2016 as follows:Statement of earnings – The standard requires that the tax effects of stock-based compensation be recognized in the income tax provision of the Company’s Statements of Earnings. Previously, these amounts were recognized in additional paid-in capital on the Company’s Balance Sheets. The new standard requires these amounts to be recasted within these quarters due to the prospective adoption of this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Accordingly, net tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards of $79,640 and $238,087 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, were recognized as reductions of income tax expense in the statements of earnings. This tax benefit reduced our effective income tax rates 2.3% and 3.1% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and resulted in an increase in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.01 three and nine months ended June 30, 2016.
Statement of cash flows – The standard requires that excess tax benefits from share-based employee awards be reported as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Previously, these cash flows were included as hypothetical inflows and outflows in both the operating and financing activities. We elected to apply this change on a prospective basis, resulting in an increase in net cash provided by operating activities and a decrease in net cash used by financing activities of $1,786,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.
