Note 4 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014‑09"), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard clarifies the required factors that an entity must consider when recognizing revenue and also requires additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016‑20, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company has evaluated the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and we do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on our 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 (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 explicitly requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain circumstances. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”),  which seeks to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for associated income taxes and forfeitures. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our 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 requires the use of an “expected loss” credit model for estimating future credit losses of certain financial instruments instead of the “incurred loss” credit model that existing GAAP currently requires. The “expected loss” model requires the consideration of possible credit losses over the life of an instrument compared to only estimating credit losses upon the occurrence of a discrete loss event in accordance with the current “incurred loss” methodology. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on the disclosure and classification of certain items within the statement of cash flows, including beneficial interests obtained in a securitization of financial assets, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, and distributions received from equity-method investees. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented beginning in the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2016-15 will have on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASC 2016-16”), which requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory at the time of the transfer instead of deferring the tax consequences until the asset has been sold to an outside party, as current GAAP requires. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2016-16 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810) – Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control (“ASU 2016-17”). ASU 2016-17 requires, when assessing which party is the primary beneficiary in a VIE, that the decision maker considers interests held by entities under common control on a proportionate basis instead of treating those interests as if they were that of the decision maker itself, as current GAAP requires. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adoption of ASU 2016-18 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which amends the definition of a business to exclude acquisitions of groups of assets where substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.  This ASU results in most real estate acquisitions no longer being considered business combinations and instead being accounted for as asset acquisitions.  The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 and is applied prospectively.  Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2017-01 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the De-recognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Topic 610-20) (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 requires that all entities account for the de‑recognition of a business in accordance with ASC 810, including instances in which the business is considered in substance real estate.  The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2017-05 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2017-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
