Note 2.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  This new guidance requires 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 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method, which did not require the Company to adjust comparative periods.  The Company’s right-of-use assets (“ROU”) and lease liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date in an amount that represents the present value of future lease payments.  ROU assets are included in Other assets, and the related lease obligation is included in Operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.  The adoption of the standard had no material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

 

The Company elected the package of practical expedients included in this guidance which allowed it to not reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and, (iii) the initial direct costs for existing leases.  The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes.  The Company will recognize lease expense for operating leases in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  The Company also made a policy election to not recognize ROU asset and lease liabilities for short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less for all asset classes.  Leases with the option to extend their term are reflected in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.  The Company has expanded the disclosure of operating leases included in Note 16.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to accumulated earnings for standard tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company adopted the provisions of this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 which had an impact of increasing accumulated other comprehensive loss and increasing accumulated earnings by $13,283.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).  This new guidance removes and modifies disclosure requirements on fair value statements.  This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on its disclosures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology.  The new current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses, and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss.  This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
