Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) - Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments to this update are intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate recognized. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), amending the ASC and creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This issuance was part of the joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not yet known. Additionally, ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”) was issued in August 2015 which defers adoption to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based plans such as income tax consequences, classification of awards as either liabilities or equity on the balance sheet, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. Although early adoption is permitted, the Company does not plan on adopting prior to 2017. The Company does not expect that this ASU will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements although fluctuations in the Company’s stock price between issuance date and settlement date of employee share-based transactions will lead to fluctuations in earnings once this ASU is implemented.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU update is intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing right of use lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be implemented utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company expects that this ASU will gross up the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the lease assets and liabilities and also reclass a portion of the lease expense to interest expense rather than occupancy expense.
