New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. This update, which is part of the FASB’s larger Simplification Initiative project aimed at reducing the cost and complexity of certain areas of the accounting codification, requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.  Furthermore, the acquirer should record in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings from any changes in depreciation, amortization, or other items impacting income. These changes resulting from adjustments to provisional amounts should be calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the actual acquisition date. Lastly, the update requires the acquirer to present separately on the face of the income statement or in the footnote disclosures the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the actual acquisition date. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this Update with earlier application permitted. The Company notes that this guidance does apply to its reporting requirements and will implement the new guidance accordingly, if the Company acquires any new businesses.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements. This update was issued to make some fairly minor wording adjustments to ASC 835-30. The new wording, presented as paragraph 835-30-S45-1, recognizes that ASU 2015-13 does not address the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. ASU 2015-13 requires companies to recognize debt issuance costs as a reduction of the carrying amount of the associated debt liability. ASU 2015-15 states that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements may be recognized as an asset and amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, even if the line-of-credit does not carry a balance. The Company notes that this guidance does apply to its reporting requirements and will implement the new guidance accordingly.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. This update was issued in response to feedback from preparers, practitioners, and users of financial statements to see the effective date of the new guidance on revenue recognition delayed in order to allow a smoother transition. This update pushes the effective date for the new guidance back for public entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, along with any interim reporting periods in that same period. All other entities will be required to implement the new guidance to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company notes that this guidance does apply to its reporting requirements and will implement the new guidance accordingly; however, due to the extensive nature of the new revenue recognition standard, the Company is evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its financials.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This objective of this update is to simplify Topic 330, which currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The amendments in this Update do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of this Update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company currently applies a lower of cost or market and is currently assessing the magnitude of the difference between using market value versus net realizable value; however, it is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This pronouncement is part of the FASB’s perpetual project started in November 2010 to address feedback received from stakeholders regarding the codification standards. Like other such pronouncements issued from time to time, the purpose of this pronouncement is not to issue new guidance, but rather to clarify, correct unintended application of the standards, and make various minor improvements as deemed necessary. The updates made are effective immediately. These changes are not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of guidance users. While some of the changes made in this pronouncement impact standards applicable to the Company, no material impact was noted.

 

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting. This Accounting Standards Update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No.115. The Company notes the Update is effective immediately and will apply to the Company if the Company acquires a business.

 

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
