3.  NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-03”) which together with subsequent amendments is included in ASC 842 – Leases. This new standard requires that all leases with an initial term greater than one year be recorded on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.

 

The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening period of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize and measure leases without revising comparative period information or disclosure.

 

The Company has made significant progress in executing against its implementation plan. The Company is electing the package of practical expedients, which, among other things, allows for a carry forward of our prior lease classifications under ASC 840. The Company is not electing the hindsight practical expedient. 

 

The Company is in the process of finalizing the impact that this standard update will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements, but anticipates a material impact on its assets and liabilities due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not expect a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. ASU 2016-02 also requires expanded disclosure regarding the amounts, timing and uncertainties of cash flows related to a company’s lease portfolio. The Company is evaluating these disclosure requirements and are incorporating the collection of relevant data into our processes in preparation for disclosure in 2019.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The guidance in ASU 2018-02 allows an entity to elect to reclassify the stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("2017 Tax Act") from accumulated other comprehensive income into retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. This ASU does not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the credit losses standard. This ASU will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
