Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

 

Recently Issued

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) guidance for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers.  This ASU superseded virtually all of the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP.  The core principle of the five step model is that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers control of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities can choose to apply the standard using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach.  The standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018.  Early adoption is permitted.

 

We plan to implement the new ASU revenue recognition guidance as of July 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect, if any, of initial adoption to be recognized in Accumulated earnings at the date of initial application.  We are in the initial stages of our evaluation of the impact of the new standard on our accounting policies, processes, and financial reporting.  Based on the evaluation performed to-date, we expect to identify similar performance obligations as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified.  We will continue to assess the impact of adopting this ASU throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2018.

 

Recently Adopted

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU guidance related to stock-based compensation.  The new guidance simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including income tax consequences, statement of cash flows presentation, estimating forfeitures when calculating compensation expense, and classification of awards as either equity or liabilities. 

 

The new standard requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recognized as income tax benefit (expense) in the income statement.  The new guidance also requires presentation of excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than a financing activity and requires presentation of cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity.  The new guidance also provides for an election to account for forfeitures of stock-based compensation. 

 

The Company adopted the ASU guidance effective July 1, 2017.  With respect to the forfeiture election, the Company will continue its current practice of estimating forfeitures when calculating compensation expense.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
