Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) establishes changes to U.S. GAAP in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).  The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs when they are issued by FASB.  ASUs listed below were either adopted by the Company during its current fiscal year, or will be adopted as each ASU becomes effective during future reporting periods.  ASUs not listed below were assessed to be not applicable to the Company’s operations or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Six Months Ended January 26, 2019

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”).  ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs that amended and clarified the guidance in ASU 2014-09, forms the basis for FASB ASC Topic 606 (“ASC Topic 606”), which superseded previous authoritative U.S. GAAP guidance regarding revenue recognition.  The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 effective August 1, 2018.  Refer to Note 6 of these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures regarding the Company’s adoption of ASC Topic 606.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”).  The amendments in ASU 2016-01 address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments.  In February 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which clarified certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01.  Under the new guidance, entities are no longer able to classify equity investments as either trading or available for sale (“AFS”), and may no longer recognize unrealized holding gains and losses in other comprehensive income on equity securities that were classified as AFS under previous U.S. GAAP.  The Company adopted the applicable provisions of ASU 2016-01 effective August 1, 2018 by recording a cumulative effect adjustment of less than $0.1 million to beginning retained earnings and beginning accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The cumulative effect adjustment is also separately reported on the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”).  The amendments included in this update provide guidance regarding eight specific cash flow classification issues that are not specifically addressed in previous U.S. GAAP, only one of which was deemed applicable to the Company’s cash flow reporting.  Issue 6 of ASU 2016-15 requires that reporting entities elect an accounting policy to classify distributions received from equity method investees using one of two possible approaches:


the “cumulative earnings approach,” under which, subject to certain limitations, distributions received from equity investees are considered returns on investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities; or

the “nature of the distribution approach,” under which distributions received from equity investees should be classified on the basis of the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as a cash inflow from operating activities) or a return of investment (classified as a cash inflow from investing activities).

The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-15 effective August 1, 2018 and elected the “cumulative earnings approach.”
The Company received $0.2 million of dividends from its equity method investee during the six months ended January 26, 2019 that are included in cash flows from operating activities.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted as of January 26, 2019

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”).  The main difference between previous U.S. GAAP and ASU 2016-02, as amended by subsequent ASUs, is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP.  ASU 2016-02 provides specific guidance for determining whether a contractual arrangement contains a lease, lease classification by lessees and lessors, initial and subsequent measurement of leases by lessees and lessors, sale and leaseback transactions, transition, and financial statement disclosures.  ASU 2016-02 requires entities to use a modified retrospective approach to apply its guidance, and includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply.  ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning August 1, 2019.  Management is currently assessing the provisions of ASU 2016-02.  The Company anticipates that adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the addition of material right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in addition to expanding required disclosures.  Management has not yet estimated the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”).  The amendments included in this update affect entities holding financial assets, including trade receivables and investment securities available for sale, that are not accounted for at fair value through net income.  ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.  The amendments included in this update also provide guidance for measurement of expected credit losses and for presentation of increases or decreases of expected credit losses on the statement of operations.  ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for the Company beginning August 1, 2020.  Early adoption is permitted for the Company beginning August 1, 2019.  Management is currently assessing the provisions of ASU 2016-13 and has not yet estimated its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”).  The amendments included in this update simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by revising the steps required during the registrant’s annual goodwill impairment test.  This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company beginning August 1, 2021.  Management is currently assessing the provisions of ASU 2017-04 and has not yet estimated its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
