Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, 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. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In connection with this ASU, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2016-10 regarding identification of performance obligations and licensing considerations, ASU No. 2016-12 regarding narrow scope improvements and practical expedients, and ASU No. 2016-08 which clarifies the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.

The Company is currently utilizing a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of this guidance by reviewing current accounting policies to identify the potential impact of the new requirements on its revenue contracts. The Company does not currently expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company currently expects to adopt the new guidance beginning in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and has not yet selected a transition method.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-02 on its corporate office lease, and upon adoption of this guidance, expects to record the lease on its consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02.
