2.	New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASC Topic 606”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASC Topic 606 replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018. See Note 3 for further discussion.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (“ASU 2016-02”). The purpose of ASU 2016-02 is to provide financial statement users a better understanding of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most operating leases. New disclosure requirements include qualitative and quantitative information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is effective with the option to elect certain practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, (“ASU 2018-10”). The amendments in ASU 2018-10 provide clarification of narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, (“ASU 2018-11”). The amendments in ASU 2018-11 provide an additional transition method to adopt the amendments in ASU 2016-02. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the amendments in ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Under this transition method, an entity is not required to use the modified transition method described in ASU 2016-02. The Company plans to adopt the additional transition method provided in ASU 2018-11. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The most significant impact of these amendments will be the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for assets related to leased theatres and certain leased equipment that are currently classified as operating leases. The Company will adopt the amendments in ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 in the first quarter of 2019.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, (“ASU 2016-15”). The purpose of ASU 2016-15 is to reduce the diversity in practice regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year. A retrospective transition method should be used in the application of the amendments within ASU 2016-15. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-15, cash paid of $246 related to the June 2017 amendment of the Company’s senior secured credit facility was reclassified from operating activities to financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, (“ASU 2016-16”). The purpose of ASU 2016-16 is to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year. A modified retrospective transition method should be used in the application of the amendments within ASU 2016-16 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
