) requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of
12
months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset
not
to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. As with previous guidance, there continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases, however this distinction now primarily relates to differences in the manner of expense recognition over time and in the classification of lease payments in the statement of cash flows. Lease assets and liabilities arising from both finance and operating leases will be recognized in the statement of financial position. ASU

leaves the accounting for leases by lessors largely unchanged from previous GAAP. The transitional guidance for adopting the requirements of ASU
2016
-
02
calls for a modified retrospective approach that includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities
may
elect to apply. In addition, ASU
2018
-
11
provides for an additional (and optional) transition method by which entities
may
elect to initially apply the transition requirements in Topic
842
at that Topic’s effective date with the effects of initially applying Topic
842
recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption and without retrospective application to any comparative prior periods presented. Also, ASU
2018
-
20
provides certain narrow-scope improvements to Topic
842
as it relates to lessors. The guidance in ASU
2016
-
02
will become effective for us as of the beginning of our
2020
fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU
2016
-
02
will have on our consolidated financial statements, which we expect will have a material effect on our statement of financial position (refer to Note
11
for information regarding our leases currently classified as operating leases under ASC Topic
840
). We currently anticipate that we will adopt the guidance of ASU
2016
-
02
as of the beginning of our
2020
fiscal year using the optional transition method as provided by ASU

(Topic

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
. ASU
2017

04
eliminates Step
2
from the goodwill impairment test. Under Step
2,
an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in ASU
2017
-
04,
an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should
not
exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendments in ASU
2017
-
04
will become effective for us as of the beginning of our
2021
fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after
January 1, 2017.
The adoption of this guidance is
not
expected to have a material impact upon our financial condition or results of operations.

): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract
,
to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. The amendments in ASU
2018

align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is
not
affected by the amendments in ASU
