Recent Accounting Standards Pending Adoption
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  The ASU will replace most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance and becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2018.  The new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition method.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, as well as its planned transition method.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740):  Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires all deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current on the balance sheet, rather than being separated into current and non-current amounts.  The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016 with early adoption permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess, at each annual and interim reporting period, the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year  from the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures.  The new standard will be effective for the Company for the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2016, with early adoption permitted.  This standard is not currently expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statement disclosures upon adoption, though the ultimate impact will be dependent on the Company's financial condition and expected operating outlook at such time.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) which supercedes the existing lease guidance.  This update requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than twelve months on its balance sheet.  The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases.  This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted.  The Company is evaluating its transition method and  the effects that the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718):  Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  This amendment is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, forfeitures, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted.  The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
