NOTE 2:     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues from product and service sales, including those based on time and materials type contracts, are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Service sales revenues, principally representing repair, maintenance and engineering activities are recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered.
 
Revenues from fixed price contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured on the basis of incurred costs to estimated total costs for each contract. This “cost to cost” method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
 
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in progress are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job requirements, job conditions, and estimated profitability, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
 
The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on contracts in progress,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.
 
The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on contracts in progress,” represents amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), which changes the criteria for recognizing revenue. The standard requires an entity which recognizes 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. The standard requires a five-step process for recognizing revenues including identifying the contract with the customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction prices, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Publicly-traded companies were initially required to adopt the ASU for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; however, the FASB, in August 2015, then issued ASU No. 2015-14 to defer the mandatory effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Currently companies may choose among different transition alternatives. Management is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined which method of adoption will be selected.
 
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, "
Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.
" This update requires an entity that determines the cost of inventory by methods other than last-in, first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method (RIM) to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016. Prospective application is required. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17,
Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes
.” This update requires an entity to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent within a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016. This update may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In February 2016 the FASB issued a new standard which requires a lessee to recognize on its balance sheet the assets and liabilities associated with the rights and obligations created by leases with terms that exceed twelve months. Leases will continue to be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the recognition, measurement and presentation of costs and cash flows arising from a lease. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective
approach to adoption for lessees related to capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that this new standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued an amendment which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This amendment is effective for prospective interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We plan on adopting this amendment at that time and are currently evaluating its effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
