Commitments and Contingencies
|
(a) |
There are no material legal proceedings other than the arbitration involving the Company's requests for the return of the progress payments for the canceled newbuilding contracts with Dayang shipyard (see Note 3) to which the Company is a party or to which any of its properties are subject, other than routine litigation incidental to the Company's business. In management's opinion, the disposition of these lawsuits should not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows; management believes that the arbitration for the return of the shipbuilding contract payments will be favorable for the Company.
|
(b) |
Future gross minimum revenues upon collection of hire under non-cancellable time charter agreements involving two of its vessels in operation as of September 30, 2016 totals $21.37 million (one off-hire day per quarter for each vessel is assumed and no drydockings are due for the vessels during the charter period; in addition early delivery of the vessels by the charterers or any exercise of the charterers' options to extend the terms of the charters are not accounted for).
|
(c) |
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had under construction one bulk carrier, a Kamsarmax, with a total contracted amount remaining to be paid of $5.54 million in 2017 and $19.39 million in 2018. On July 20, 2016, the Company signed an addendum to its newbuilding contract giving it the option to cancel the contract for the construction of a Kamsarmax drybulk vessel without penalty except for the progress payment already made.

On November 15, 2016, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to buy M/V Capetan Tassos, a Japanese 2000-blt, 75,100 dwt drybulk carrier. The vessel is expected to be delivered in January 2017 for a gross price of approximately $4.4 million.

b) |
On November 23, 2016, the Company announced that it reached an agreement with an affiliate to draw a $2 million loan. Interest on the loan is payable quarterly, and there are no principal repayments until January 2018 when the loan matures. The Company may elect to add the interest to the outstanding principal amount. Under certain limited circumstances, the Company can pay principal and interest in equity, and the loan is convertible in common stock of the Company at the option of the lender at certain times. The agreement is subject to customary legal documentation.

Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block] | 1. Basis of Presentation and General Information Euroseas Ltd. was formed on May 5, 2005 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to consolidate the beneficial owners of the ship owning companies in existence at that time. Euroseas Ltd, through its wholly owned vessel owning subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk commodities and containers through ownership and operation of drybulk vessels and containerships. The operations of the vessels are managed by Eurobulk (“Management Company”) and Eurobulk FE , (collectively the “Management Companies”), corporations controlled by members of the Pittas family. Eurobulk has an office in Greece located at 4 Messogiou & Evropis Street, Maroussi, Greece; Eurobulk FE has an office at Manilla, Philippines Suite 1003, 10th Floor Ma. Natividad Building, 470 T.M. Kalaw cor. Cortada Sts., Ermita. Both provide the Company with a wide range of shipping services such as technical support and maintenance, insurance consulting, chartering, financial and accounting services, as well as executive management services, in consideration for fixed and variable fees (see Note 5).The Pittas family is the controlling shareholder of Friends Investment Company Inc. which, in turn, owns 30.8% of the Company’s shares as of September 30, 2016. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Euroseas Ltd., and its wholly owned vessel owning subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 20-F. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had a cash balance of $1.73 million, funds due to a related company of $0.14 million and cash in restricted retention accounts of $7.07 million and a working capital surplus of $14.45 million which includes the deposits from our cancelled newbuilding contracts for Hull DY 160 and Hull DY 161 of $8.59 million and $8.37 million expected to be received in the second and third quarter of 2017, respectively. As noted in Note 6, the Company has also refinanced certain of its loans to defer balloon payments. The Company has sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations in the subsequent twelve months. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company intends to satisfy any short term working capital requirements that might arise via cash flow from operations, drawings from a loan facility from an affiliate, proceeds from potential sale of vessels, and by proceeding with the execution of a previously announced at-the-market offering, among other options. |

Notes to Financial Statements | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. Significant Accounting Policies A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is identified in Note 2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as noted below. Recent accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The FASB also permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASU’s which amend or provide additional guidance on topics addressed in ASU 2014-09. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue Recognition - Principal versus Agent” (reporting revenue gross versus net). In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue Recognition - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licenses.” Lastly, in May 2016, the FASB issued No. ASU 2016-12, “Revenue Recognition - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption of the standard, but not before December 15, 2016 is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This ASU establishes specific guidance to an organization's management on their responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization's ability to continue as a going concern. The provisions of this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Management is evaluating the implementation of this update and its impact on its financial statements. In April, 2015, FASB issued ASU No 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, which outlines a simplified approach to present debt issuance costs and debt discount and premium by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as deduction from the corresponding liability. This standard is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis resulting in “Deferred charges, net” of $700,606 as of December 31, 2015 and $931,102 as of September 30, 2016 to be presented against the related debt liability.In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” to simplify the measurement of inventory using first-in, first out (FIFO) or average cost method. According to this ASU an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. Management believes that the implementation of this update will not have any material impact on its financial statements and has not elected the early adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting and adds additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The ASU requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases, while lessor accounting remains largely unchanged. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation. The new guidance is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company evaluated this update and concluded that it will not have any material impact on its financial statements and has not elected the early adoption. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. 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. 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 ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This Update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard on the disclosures in its financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash” which amends ASC 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard. |

Advances for Vessels under Construction [Text Block] | 3. Advances for Vessels under Construction As of September 30, 2016 the amount of the advances for vessels under construction amounts to $3.8 million and mainly represents progress payments according to the agreement entered into with the shipyard as well as legal and other costs related to the construction of Hull number YZJ 1153. Within the first quarter of 2016, the Company took delivery of M/V Xenia. Additionally, Hull Number DY 160 and DY161, under construction at Dayang yard and originally scheduled for delivery in the second and third quarter of 2016 respectively, were cancelled due to excessive construction delays. Both cases have been referred to arbitration. The Company has classified as receivable $17.0 million being the return of its progress payments and other expenses as specified in the newbuilding contract and secured by refund guarantees and has expensed the remaining payments made amounting to $3.2 million, consisting mainly of supervision, management fees and certain other expenses.

Long-term Debt [Text Block] |
Long-term debt represents bank loans of the Company. Outstanding long-term debt as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016 is as follows:
None of the above loans are registered in the U.S. The future annual loan repayments are as follows:
Details of the loans are discussed in Notes 9, 20(b) and 20(c) of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F and are supplemented by the changes noted below. One of the vessels of the loan facility of $14.5 million with Eurobank Ergasias S.A. signed in February 2016 as described in Note 20(b) on Form 20-F as mentioned above, M/V “Captain Costas”, was sold on May 10, 2016, however, the proceeds were not used to repay a portion of the loan facility but remained available to the Company to acquire a substitute vessel which would secure the loan facility in place of M/V “Captain Costas”. On September 29, 2016, the Company acquired M/V “Aegean Express”. In September 2016, the Company signed a supplemental agreement to its loan agreements of Xingang Shipping Ltd., Pantelis Shipping Corp., Eirini Shipping Ltd. and Eleni Shipping Ltd. providing for the deferment of loan repayments from twelve to fifteen months, relaxation of loan-to-value covenants and certain other terms as noted below: The loan with Xingang Shipping Ltd. will be repaid in November 2017 with one payment equal to its outstanding balance of $1,103,915. The loan with Pantelis Shipping Corp will have the six principal instalments, from June 2016 to September 2017, deferred. The deferred amount of $1,680,000 will be added to the balloon payment of $3,160,000 due in September 2017. Furthermore, if Euroseas extends or refinances the balloon payment on the loan of Noumea Shipping Ltd., owner of M/V Evridiki G, at least until the current charter expires in January 2018, then the outstanding amount of $4,840,000 as of September 2017 will be repaid in four quarterly instalments starting in March 2018 with two instalments of $280,000 each, 2 instalments of $560,000 each plus a balloon payment of $3,160,000 along with the last payment in December 2018. The outstanding balance of the loan of Eirini Shipping Ltd / Eleni Shipping Ltd. of $12,850,000 prior to the closing of the supplemental agreement was reduced to $11,600,000 via prepayment of the cash collateral of $1,250,000 (which was effected after the signing of the respective supplemental agreement). In addition, seven principal instalments of $350,000 each, from September 2016 to December 2017 were deferred. Repayment of the loan will be resumed in March 2018 and the outstanding balance of $11,600,000 will be repaid in two quarterly instalments of $350,000 each, four of $725,000 each plus a balloon payment of $8,000,000 due in May 2019. The asset coverage ratio was reduced from 130% to 75% until December 31, 2017. A cash sweep mechanism was put in place until the entire deferred amount of $3,330,000 is repaid. In November 2016, the loan with Noumea Shipping Ltd., owner of M/V Evridiki G, was agreed to be refinanced so that the balloon payment of $6,360,000 originally due in December 2016 will be repaid with two semi-annual repayments of $720,000 each in June and January 2018 and a balloon payment of $4,920,000 in January 2018. The loan-to-value covenant will be waived until November 2017. The agreement is subject to customary legal documentation and an amendment fee of $15,000 is payable.. As a result of refinancing this balloon payment, the balloon payment of Pantelis Shipping Corp of $4,840,000 due in September 2017 is refinanced as described above. The Company’s loans are secured with one or more of the following:
The loan agreements contain covenants such as minimum requirements regarding the hull ratio cover (the ratio of fair value of vessel to outstanding loan less cash in retention accounts), restrictions as to changes in management and ownership of the vessel shipowning companies, distribution of profits or assets (i.e. limiting dividends in some loans to 60% of profits, or, not permitting dividend payment or other distributions in cases that an event of default has occurred), additional indebtedness and mortgage of vessels without the lender’s prior consent, sale of vessels, maximum fleet-wide leverage, sale of capital stock of our subsidiaries, ability to make investments and other capital expenditures, entering in mergers or acquisitions, minimum cash balance requirements and minimum cash retention accounts (restricted cash). The loans agreements also require the Company to make deposits in retention accounts with certain banks that can only be used to pay the current loan installments. Restricted cash under “Current Assets” and “Long-term assets” amounts to $10,466,743 and $7,073,332 as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016 and is comprised of deposits held in retention accounts and deposits required to be maintained as certain minimum cash balances per mortgaged vessel. Interest expense excluding loan fee amortization At September 30, 2016, LIBOR for the Company’s loans was on average approximately 0.5% per year, the average interest rate margin over LIBOR on our debt was approximately 5.05% per year for a total average interest rate of approximately 5.55% per year. |

Financial Instruments Disclosure [Text Block] | 10. Financial Instruments The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash on hand and at banks, other investment and accounts receivable due from charterers. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long-term loans, derivatives including interest rate swaps, and accounts payable due to suppliers. Interest rate risk The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts as economic hedges to manage some of its exposure to variability in its floating rate long term debt. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps the Company and the bank agreed to exchange, at specified intervals the difference between a paying fixed rate and floating rate interest amount calculated by reference to the agreed principal amounts and maturities. Interest rate swaps allow the Company to convert long-term borrowings issued at floating rates into equivalent fixed rates. Even though the interest rate swaps were entered into for economic hedging purposes, the derivatives described below in this note do not qualify for accounting purposes as fair value hedges, under guidance relating to Derivatives and Hedging , as the Company does not have currently written contemporaneous documentation identifying the risk being hedged and, both on a prospective and retrospective basis, performing an effectiveness test to support that the hedging relationship is highly effective. Consequently, the Company recognizes the change in fair value of these derivatives in the “Unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.” As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, the Company had three and one open interest rate swap contracts, respectively, of notional amount of $30 million and $10 million, respectively.Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluation of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable As of September 30, 2016, the Company has a claim receivable against the counterparties of its cancelled Ultramax newbuilding contracts which is secured by refund guarantees from China Export Import Bank. Fair value of financial instruments The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments such as trade receivables, trade accounts payable, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their individual carrying amounts as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, due to their short-term maturity. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. The fair value of the Company’s long term borrowings approximates $51.9 million as of September 30, 2016 or approximately $0.9 million less than its carrying value of $52.8 million (excluding the unamortized deferred charges). The fair value of the long term borrowing are estimated based on current interest rates offered to the Company for similar loans. LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans and hence fair value of the long-term bank loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy due to their variable interest rate, being the LIBOR. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was the estimated amount the Company would pay to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the Company and its counter parties. Fair value of financial instruments - continued The Company follows guidance relating to “Fair value measurements”, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements is determined using a discounted cash flow approach based on market-based LIBOR swap rates. LIBOR swap rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the swaps and therefore are considered Level 2 items. The fair values of the interest rate swap determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in guidance relating to “Fair value measurements” are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined. Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s “Other investment”, which refers to its preferred equity investment in Euromar, approximates its carrying value (see Note 11 – “Investment in Joint Venture and Other Investment”) and is considered a Level 3 item. The key input that determines the fair value of the Company’s “Other investment” is the required rate of return for preferred equity investments in investment opportunities of similar risk which is not observable and hence is considered a Level 3 item. The Company considers the initial dividend rate of 19% p.a. as the appropriate rate for its fair value calculation and monitors market conditions for similar investment and other possible developments specific to its investment that might provide indications for changes in the required rate of return it uses in its fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2016, the Company did not identify indications that would require changes in the required rate of return. Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s “Other investment” is sensitive to the required rate of return used to estimate the present value of its investment using the discounted cash flow approach. If the required rate of return increases or decreases, the fair value of the Company’s “Other investment” will decrease or increase, respectively. Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements During the second quarter of 2016, the Company concluded that its equity investment in Euromar shown under “Investment in joint venture” was impaired and wrote it down to its estimated fair value. The impairment was due both to changes in the terms of its investment during the period as well as continuing less favorable market developments. The change in the terms of the Company’s investment resulted from the conclusion of loan restructuring agreements between Euromar and its lenders that provided the latter with increased payments before any capital is returned to Euromar’s partners, which include the Company, and, in addition, participation of the lenders in the profits of and any distributions made by Euromar. The fair value of the Company’s “Investment in joint venture” is considered a Level 3 item (see Note 11 – “Investment in Joint Venture and Other Investment”). The key input that determines the fair value of the Company’s “Investment in joint venture” is the cost of capital for investments in containership vessels which is not observable and hence is considered a level 3 item. The Company estimated the cost of capital in the range of 9-10% p.a. based on its return threshold in considering investments in containerships which, in turn take into consideration the historical returns and volatility of such investments. Additional inputs required include earnings assumptions and operating cost assumptions for each vessel as well other expenses and liabilities of Euromar. The Company used the Discounted cash flow” technique and a cost of capital of 9.5% p.a. to calculate the fair value of its equity investment in Euromar and estimated a $14,000,000 impairment on its equity investment which is shown under “Equity loss and impairment in joint venture” along with the Company’s share of Euromar contribution under the Equity method of $1,410,321 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s investment in Euromar is $1,105,381 and is shown under “Investment in joint venture” in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company’s “Investment in joint venture” is sensitive to the required rate of return used to estimate the fair value of its investment using the discounted cash flow approach. If the required rate of return or vessel operating expenses increase or charter rates decrease, the fair value of the Company’s “Investment in joint venture” will decrease; inversely, if the required rate of return or vessel operating expenses decrease or charter rates increase, the fair value of the Company’s “Investment in joint venture” will increase.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures Disclosure [Text Block] |
By June 30, 2016, Euromar reached agreements in principle with two of its lenders (representing about 90% of its indebtedness) to restructure its debt. These agreements included relaxation of covenants, repayment moratorium and extension of the tenor of the loans in exchange for cash sweep provisions, increased interest rate for a portion of the debt, participation in profits and certain rights in the disposition of the some vessels. As a result, on June 30, 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of investment in Euromar by calculating the fair value of Euromar’s assets based on cost of capital, earnings and operating cost assumptions, and terms included in the loan restructuring agreements between Euromar and its lenders and subtracting the fair value of its liabilities; as a result, the Company recorded an impairment on its investment in Euromar, of $14,000,000. The Company’s investment in the Joint Venture is recorded in the “Unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets” as “Investment in joint venture” at its book value which was $16,515,701 as of December 31, 2015 and $1,105,381 as of September 30, 2016. Other Investment represents the Company’s s preferred equity investment in Euromar, Euroseas recorded an accrued dividend income of $847,875 for the period ended September 30, 2015 and $1,024,715 for period ended September 30, 2016. This amount is recorded in the “Unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations” as “Other Investment Income” under “Other Income / (expenses)”. The Company evaluated the recoverability of its investment in Preferred Units of Euromar LLC and concluded that it is recoverable.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recent accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The FASB also permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASU’s which amend or provide additional guidance on topics addressed in ASU 2014-09. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue Recognition - Principal versus Agent” (reporting revenue gross versus net). In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue Recognition - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licenses.” Lastly, in May 2016, the FASB issued No. ASU 2016-12, “Revenue Recognition - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption of the standard, but not before December 15, 2016 is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This ASU establishes specific guidance to an organization's management on their responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization's ability to continue as a going concern. The provisions of this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Management is evaluating the implementation of this update and its impact on its financial statements. In April, 2015, FASB issued ASU No 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, which outlines a simplified approach to present debt issuance costs and debt discount and premium by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as deduction from the corresponding liability. This standard is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis resulting in “Deferred charges, net” of $700,606 as of December 31, 2015 and $931,102 as of September 30, 2016 to be presented against the related debt liability.In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” to simplify the measurement of inventory using first-in, first out (FIFO) or average cost method. According to this ASU an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. Management believes that the implementation of this update will not have any material impact on its financial statements and has not elected the early adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting and adds additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The ASU requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases, while lessor accounting remains largely unchanged. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation. The new guidance is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company evaluated this update and concluded that it will not have any material impact on its financial statements and has not elected the early adoption. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. 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. 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 ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This Update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard on the disclosures in its financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash” which amends ASC 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard. |
