NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The FASB issued ASU 2018-13 to modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820. Part of the disclosures were removed or modified and other disclosures were added. The amendment will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Also it is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosure and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. This amendment will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The FASB issued ASU 2018-07, to improve financial reporting for nonemployee share-based payments. The amendment expands Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. The amendment will be effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years. This amendment will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Income Taxes - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05 which updates the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the guidance in SAB 118, which adds Section EE, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” to SAB Topic 5, “Miscellaneous Accounting.” SAB 118 also provides guidance on applying ASC 740, Income Taxes, if the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is incomplete when the financial statements are issued for a reporting period.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The FASB issued ASU 2017-04, to simplify the measurement of goodwill. The amendment eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendment will be effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. This amendment will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Leases. The FASB has issued several accounting standards updates and amendments related to leases in the past two years, which are codified within Topic 842. For public companies, these are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The standard requires lessees to recognize at the commencement date of a lease a lease liability, which represents the lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which represents the lessee's right to use a specified asset for the lease term. Other recently issued amendments to Topic 842 have provided clarifying guidance regarding land easements, an additional modified retrospective transition method, and added several practical expedients to apply Topic 842 for both lessees and lessors. The standard will not apply to leases of mineral rights.

We have an implementation team working through the provisions of the new guidance including a review of different types of contracts to document our lease portfolio and assess the impact on our accounting, disclosures, processes, internal control over financial reporting, and the election of certain practical expedients. Our evaluation of the impact of the new guidance on our financial statements is on-going.

We have made certain accounting policy decisions including that we plan to adopt the short-term lease recognition exemption, accounting for certain asset classes at a portfolio level, and establishing a balance sheet recognition capitalization threshold. Our transition will utilize the modified retrospective approach to adopting the new standard, and will be applied at the beginning of the period adopted (January 1, 2019) in accordance with ASU 2018-11. We expect to elect the transition practical expedient, which allows us to not evaluate land easements that existed prior to January 1, 2019, and the optional transition method to record the adoption impact through a cumulative adjustment to equity. We expect for certain lessee asset classes to elect the practical expedient and not separate lease and nonlease components. For these asset classes, we will account for the agreements as a single lease component.

We expect for certain lessor asset classes to elect the practical expedient and not separate lease and nonlease components and determine the appropriate accounting based on the predominate component of the contract. The assessment of predominance is ongoing.

We anticipate a material impact to the balance sheet across segments as we recognize Right of Use assets and liabilities but no material impact to the income statement (from the lessee's perspective). The assessment of the dollar value impact of adoption is on-going.

Adopted Standards

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The FASB issued ASU 2018-02, an amendment which provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Organizations should apply the proposed amendments either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. We adopted this amendment early and it had no material effect to our financial statements. We previously used 37.75% to calculate the tax effect on AOCI and now we are using 24.5%. The change is reflected in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in Note 14 - Equity.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606. This new revenue standard provides for a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is to be recognized. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Under the standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We applied the five-step method outlined in the ASU to all our revenue streams in the scope of ASC 606 and elected the modified retrospective approach method. Under that approach the cumulative effect on adoption is recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2018. Only our mid-stream segment was affected. This adjustment related to the timing of revenue on certain demand fees. Both our oil and natural gas and contract drilling segments had no retained earnings adjustment. Comparative prior periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported under ASC 605.

The additional disclosures required by ASC 606 have been included in Note 2 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Our internal control framework did not materially change because of this standard, but the existing internal controls have been modified to consider our new revenue recognition policy effective January 1, 2018. As we implement the new standard, we have added internal controls to ensure that we adequately evaluate new contracts under the five-step model under ASU 2014-09.
