NOTE 14 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this Update remove the financial statement distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to: (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows and shareholder equity; (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity; (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged; and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.

 

For public entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein.  Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2014-10 during its third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 310-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  The amendments in this Update provide guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.  In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures.  The amendments are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter.  Early application is permitted.  The Company has not determined the impact of the future adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2014-15 on its consolidated financial statements.
