In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The objective of the update is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the methods of adoption allowed by the new standard and the effect, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330).  The objective of this update was to simplify the measurement of inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  The adoption of these changes is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest – Imputation of interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  In August 2015, the FASB clarified ASU 2015-15 to address presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements.  This amendment allows for the reporting entity to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the debt issuance costs over the term of the line-of-credit agreement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement, including interim periods within that reporting period.  It is effective for fiscal 2017, including interim periods, and is not expected to result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

In February, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  This new guidance will require that a lessee recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a lease term of more than twelve months, with the result being the recognition of a right of use asset and a lease liability.  The new lease accounting requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 18, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The objective of this update was to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  The new share-based compensation accounting requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.   The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
