Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Business Combinations.  In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”) in order to clarify the definition of a business as it relates to whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-01, which will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Leases.  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which will require organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted.   Entities must adopt the standard using a modified retrospective transition and apply the guidance to the earliest comparative period presented, with certain practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition.  In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which created Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).  The objective of ASU 2014-09 is greater consistency and comparability across industries by using a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts.  Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  Under the modified retrospective method, the Company recognizes the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit; however, no significant adjustment was required as a result of adopting the new standard.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606.  The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under historic accounting standards in effect for those periods.  The impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 is expected to be immaterial to the Company’s net income on an ongoing basis.  See Note 5. Revenue Recognition, for further discussion.
