New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements:  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, as a new Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic, ASC 842.  The new standard will require assets and liabilities to be reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for all leases with lease terms greater than one year, including leases currently treated as operating leases under the existing standard.  This ASU is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted.  We have developed and are executing a project plan for the implementation of ASC 842 in the first quarter of 2019.  We are progressing our assessment of existing leases and evaluating our disclosure processes with reference to the requirements of the standard.  We continue to assess the impact of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.  This ASU makes changes to the impairment model for trade receivables, net investments in leases, debt securities, loans and certain other instruments.  The standard requires the use of a forward-looking "expected loss" model compared to the current "incurred loss" model.  This ASU is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2019.  We are currently assessing the impact of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  This ASU modifies the concept of goodwill impairment from a condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.  Thus, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value.  The impairment charge would be limited by the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.  This ASU removes the requirement to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination.  This ASU is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted.  We are currently assessing the impact of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
