Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

 

AAR CORP. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein collectively as “AAR,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” unless the context indicates otherwise.  The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of AAR and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

 

We have prepared these statements without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 31, 2016 has been derived from audited financial statements.  To prepare the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in comprehensive financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the SEC.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K.

 

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position of AAR CORP. and its subsidiaries as of August 31, 2016, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three month periods ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three month periods ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the three month period ended August 31, 2016.  The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition.  This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets.  This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance.  This ASU will also supersede certain cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of the new standard by one year which will make the new standard effective for us beginning June 1, 2018.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.  This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, including those classified as operating leases under the current accounting guidance.  In addition, this ASU will require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the Company’s leasing activities.  This new standard will be effective for us beginning June 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.  This ASU 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.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
