Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance simplifying certain aspects of accounting for share-based payments. The key provision of the new standard requires that excess tax benefits and shortfalls be recorded as income tax benefit or expense in the income statement, rather than in equity. The Company is evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  The new guidance is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard, which provides revised guidance on accounting for lease arrangements by both lessors and lessees.  The central requirement of the new standard is that lessees must recognize lease related assets and liabilities for all leases with a term longer than 12 months.  The Company is evaluating the effect the standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  The new standard is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted.

In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating those balances into current and noncurrent amounts. The new guidance is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on April 1, 2016, and reclassified the current portion of net deferred tax assets and liabilities to net noncurrent deferred tax assets and liabilities.  No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.

In May 2014, the FASB amended requirements for 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 updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective, and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.  Early adoption is permitted.  The updated standard becomes effective for the Company in the first fiscal quarter of 2019.  The Company has not yet selected a transition method, and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
