NOTE C — NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In
May 2014,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
No.
2014
-
09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU
2014
-
09”
). ASU
2014
-
09
states that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The update supersedes prior revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Effective
April 1, 2018,
the Company adopted the new standard through the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were
not
completed as of
April 1, 2018
and those contracts initiated on or after
April 1, 2018.
Results for reporting periods beginning on or after
April 1, 2018
are presented under the new standard, while prior period amounts are unadjusted and reported in accordance with historic accounting under the prior guidance. The modified retrospective method requires that the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance be recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did
not
have an impact on any prior period earnings and
no
adjustment was recorded to the opening retained earnings balance as of
April 1, 2018.
The adoption did
not
have a financial statement impact to the Company but did result in expanded disclosures which are provided in Note H.
 
In
August 2016,
the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No.
2016
-
15,
Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU
2016
-
15”
). ASU
2016
-
15
eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows by adding or clarifying guidance on
eight
specific cash flow issues. The Company adopted this new guidance effective
April 1, 2018.
The adoption of this new guidance did
not
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In
February 
2016,
the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No.
2016
-
02,
Leases (“ASU
2016
-
02”
). ASU
2016
-
02
establishes a new lease accounting standard that requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and related lease liability for most leases having lease terms of more than
12
months.  Leases with a term of
12
months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases.  This new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 
15,
2018,
but can be early adopted.  The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of the provisions of ASU
2016
-
02
will have on its consolidated financial statements but does
not
expect a material impact.
