FASB ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, was issued in August 2014. The amendments in this update provide guidance in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (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. The amendments in this update were effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application was permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements was issued in September, 2015. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to entities. The amendments in this

Update that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments will be effective upon the issuance of this update. The adoption of the amendments that required transition guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the other amendments in this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities was issued in January 2016. The amendments in this Update make targeted improvements to generally accepted accounting principles, and address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Except as specifically stated, early adoption of the amendments in this Update is not permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-04, Liabilities-Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20), was issued in March 2016. The amendments in this Update apply to entities that offer certain prepaid stored-value products, including prepaid gift cards, prepaid telecommunication cards, and travelers checks. The amendments in this Update contain specific guidance for the derecognition of pre-paid stored value product liabilities and are an improvement to GAAP because they specify how pre-paid stored-value product liabilities within the Update’s scope should be derecognized. The amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, because the Company does not currently have any liabilities related to stored value cards.

FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, was issued in September 2016. The main objective of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP 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. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal year. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update are allowed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity will apply the amendments in this Update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the effective date of this Update. The Company is studying the implications of this update, including following evolving regulatory and industry guidance, and gathering additional detailed historical data. The effect of this Update on the Company’s financial statements is not known at this time.

FASB ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, was issued in August 2016. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This Update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The amendments in this Update are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, because the Company has limited exposure to those cash flow items included in the Update.

FASB ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash, was issued in November 2016. The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The amendments in this Update are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The cash flow presentation will be expanded to include the activity related to restricted cash, or required cash reserve balances upon adoption.

FASB ASU 2016-19, Technical Corrections and Improvements, was issued in December 2016. The amendments in this Update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments generally fall into one of several categories including, amendments related to differences between original guidance and the Accounting Standards Codification, guidance clarification and reference corrections, simplification, or minor improvements. Most of the amendments in this Update do not require transition guidance and are effective upon issuance of this Update. The amendments in this Update are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, because the Company has limited exposure and disclosures relating to those items included in this Update.

FASB ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations, (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business, was issued in January 2017. The amendments in this Update clarify the definition of a business, with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments in this Update should be applied to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The amendments in this Update are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, because the Company historically has experienced minimal acquisitions or disposals, if any.

FASB ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Amendments to SEC paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings, was issued in January 2017. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on the disclosures required regarding the reporting and financial statement impact of recently issued but not yet adopted standards. The Changes and Corrections in this Update are effective upon release. The amendments in this update will require the Company to provide increased disclosure with respect to adopting current and future accounting Updates.

FASB ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, was issued in January 2017. The amendments in this Update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The amendments in this Update should be adopted for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this Update are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost, was issued in March 2017. The amendments in this Update require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered to the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The amendments in this Update also allow for the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and should be made within the first interim period that financial statements are issued. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic post-retirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic post-retirement benefit in assets. The amendments in this Update are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, was issued in March 2017. The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The amendments in this Update are expected to have a negative impact on earnings during the shortened amortization period if the bond is not called. However, if the bond is not called, earnings should improve past the call date. If the bond is called as scheduled, the Updates in this amendment will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2017-9 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting, was issued in May 2017. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The amendments in this Update are not expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not currently have any outstanding share-based payment awards.
