Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, as amended by ASU No. 2018-03, Financial Instruments-Overall: Technical Corrections and Improvements, issued in February 2018 on the recognition and measurement of financial instruments.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The new guidance changes the current accounting guidance related to (i) the classification and measurement of certain equity investments, (ii) the presentation of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are due to instrument-specific credit risk, and (iii) certain disclosures associated with the fair value of financial instruments.  Additionally, there is no longer a requirement to assess equity securities for impairment since such securities are now measured at fair value through net income.  We utilized a modified retrospective approach to adopt the new guidance effective July 1, 2018.  The impact related to the change in accounting for equity securities that occurred prior to our July 1, 2018 adoption date was $318,000 of net unrealized investment gains, net of income tax, reclassified from AOCI to retained earnings.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), on the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The new guidance changes the current accounting guidance related to the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities.  We early adopted the new guidance effective June 30, 2019 as further disclosed in Note 15 to these financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”).  ASU 2014-09 eliminated transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 605-15, Revenue Recognition—Products and replaced it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition.  ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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. ASU 2014-09 was effective for us on July 1, 2018, and we adopted the guidance prospectively.  The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions.  The new guidance expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50.  Under the guidance, the measurement of equity-classified non-employee awards will be fixed at the grant date.  The guidance is effective for public companies in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years.  Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period, but not before an entity adopts the new revenue guidance.  We adopted ASU 2018-07 effective July 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 - Business Combinations (Topic 805) (“ASU 2017 01”), which clarifies the definition of a business.  For accounting and financial reporting purposes, businesses are generally comprised of three elements; inputs, processes, and outputs.  Integrated sets of assets and activities capable of providing these three elements may not always be considered a business, and the lack of one of the three elements does not always disqualify the set from being a business.  The issuance of ASU 2017-01 provides a clarifying screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business.  Primarily, the screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business.  The amendments contained in ASU 2017-01 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and may be early adopted for certain transactions that have occurred before the effective date, but only when the underlying transaction has not been reported in the financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We adopted ASU 2017-01 effective July 1, 2018, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to a change to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award.  ASU 2017-09 also provides guidance about the types of changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award that require an entity to apply modification accounting in accordance with Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted.  We adopted ASU 2017-09 effective July 1, 2018, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU No. 2018-13”).  ASU No. 2018-13 is part of the disclosure framework project and eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, requires entities to disclose new information, and modifies existing disclosure requirements.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact this change will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”).  ASU 2016-13 requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (the “CECL model”).  Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications, unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument.  Further, ASU 2016-13 made certain targeted amendments to the existing impairment model for available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities.  For an AFS debt security for which there is neither the intent nor a more-likely-than-not requirement to sell, an entity will record credit losses as an allowance rather than a write-down of the amortized cost basis.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 for all public business entities that are SEC filers. Early application is permitted as of the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods.  An entity will apply the amendments in ASU 2016-13 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.  We are evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements; however, due to the significant differences in the revised guidance from existing U.S. GAAP, the implementation of this guidance may result in material changes in our accounting for credit losses on financial instruments.  We are also reviewing the impact of additional disclosures required under ASU 2016-13 on our ongoing financial reporting.

In July 2019, the FASB decided to add a project to its technical agenda to propose staggered effective dates for certain accounting standards, including ASU 2016-13.  The FASB has proposed an approach that ASU 2016-13 will be effective for Public Business Entities that are SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies such as the Company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including smaller reporting companies like the Company, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  For all entities, early adoption will continue to be permitted; that is, early adoption is allowed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (that is, effective January 1, 2019, for calendar-year-end companies).  The FASB is currently in the process of drafting a proposed ASU for this project to be voted upon by FASB members after a 30-day comment period.  The Company is currently a smaller reporting company, and if this proposal is approved and becomes effective, our expected adoption date for ASU 2016-13 would change from fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which permits entities to reclassify the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of recent United States federal tax reforms to retained earnings. Entities can elect to apply the guidance retrospectively or in the period of adoption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
