NOTE 2RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which created Topic 606.  ASU No. 2014-09 establishes a core principle that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  In order to achieve that core principle, companies are required to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies a performance obligation.  Upon adoption, ASU No. 2014-09 can be applied either (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial application recognized on the date of adoption.  At the time of issuance, ASU No. 2014-09 was to become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption was not permitted.  However, in July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  In addition, early adoption of the standard will be permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016.  The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.  ASU No. 2015-11 clarifies that inventory should be held at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price, less the estimated costs to complete, dispose and transport such inventory.  ASU No. 2015-11 will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  ASU No. 2015-11 is required to be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted.  The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2015-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
