 (18) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, 2015-14 and 2016-8 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The core principal of the ASUs is 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. The ASUs 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. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this standard. As a result, the standard and related amendments will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early application is permitted, but not before the original effective date of June 1, 2017. Entities are allowed to transition to the new standard by either retrospective application or recognizing the cumulative effect. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance, including which transition approach will be applied and the estimated impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). This ASU amends certain aspects of accounting for share-based payments to employees, including (i) requiring all income tax effects of share-based awards to be recognized in the income statement when the award vests or settles and eliminating APIC pools, (ii) permitting employers to withhold the share equivalent of an employee's maximum tax liability without triggering liability accounting and (iii) allowing companies to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on its financial statements, but does not believe the new guidance will have a significant impact on how it accounts for share-based payments.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). This ASU primarily provides new guidance for lessees on the accounting treatment of operating leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 also aligns lessor accounting with the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606 of the Accounting Standards Codification. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted and is required to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis, meaning the new leasing model will be applied to the earliest year presented in the financial statements and thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Topic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The objective of this update is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments in this update make the following eight improvements to generally accepted accounting principles:

1)      Equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method or that result in consolidation of the investee) are to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value included in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

2)      A qualitative assessment is required for investments without readily determinable fair values in order to identify impairment. If impairment is identified, the investment is to be measured at fair value.

3)      The requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost is eliminated for non-public business entities.

4)      The requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost is eliminated for public business entities.

5)      Public entities are required to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.

6)      An entity is required to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.

7)      Separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset is required on the balance sheet or accompanying notes.

8)      An entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

 

For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. An entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company notes this new guidance will apply to its reporting requirements and will implement the new guidance accordingly and is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its financials.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. 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 deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position, which eliminates the requirement that an entity separate deferred tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts. This update does not affect the current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount on the balance sheet. This amendment applies to all entities with a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company notes this guidance will apply to its reporting requirements and has implemented the new guidance effective with the current 2016 fiscal year reports.

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, 2016. 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.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. After adoption the Company will assess going concern based on the guidance in this standard.
