(16) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



New Accounting Standards Implemented



In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue with Contracts from Customers (Topic 606) (ASC 606, as subsequently amended).  ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services.  For public entities, ASC 606 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company adopted ASC 606 with an effective date of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.    Additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow from contracts with customers are available in Note 2 – Revenue Recognition. 



In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) (“Update 2017-07”), which provides additional guidance on the presentation of net benefit cost in the statement of operations and on the components eligible for capitalization in assets.  The guidance requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost.  The service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost shall be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the period, except for amounts capitalized.  All other components of net benefit cost shall be presented outside of a subtotal for income from operations.  The Company adopted Update 2017-07 during the first quarter of 2018 resulting in no material impact to its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, financial position or cash flows.  The non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost are presented as a component of Other Income (Loss), Net for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and are disclosed in Note 12 – Pension Plan and Other Postretirement Benefits.  The Company ceased capitalizing the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit costs prospectively as of the beginning of the first quarter of 2018.



In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) (“Update 2016-15”), which seeks to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.  The Company adopted this Update during the first quarter of 2018 resulting in no impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.



In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02 that will amend the FASB Accounting Standards relating to tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (Topic 220) (“Update 2018-02”)Update 2018-02 permits a company to reclassify the stranded income tax effects of Tax Reform on items within accumulated comprehensive income to retained earnings.  Although the amendments in Update 2018-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, the Company has elected to early adopt the amendments of Update 2018-02 for the current period.  The implementation did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, financial position or cash flows due to the tax valuation allowance currently in place.  Any adjustments required under this Update would be fully offset by valuation allowance adjustments for both continuing operations and accumulated other comprehensive income.



New Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented



In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Update 2016-02”), which seeks to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by, among other things, recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  The codification was amended through additional ASUs.  Through June 2018, the Company made progress on contract reviews, drafting its accounting policies, evaluating the new disclosure requirements and implementing a software solution.  The Company will continue assessing the effect that Update 2016-02 and related ASUs may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and anticipates that its assessment will be complete in 2018.  For public entities, Update 2016-02 becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.
