RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS
 
The Company adopted the following recently issued accounting standards during the quarter ended
April
2,
2017:
   
 
In
November
2015,
the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2015
-
17,
“Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU
2015
-
17”).
ASU
2015
-
17
requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be netted against each other and classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. ASU
2015
-
17
is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after
December
 
15,
 
2016.
During the
first
quarter of
2017,
we adopted ASU
2015
-
17
on a retrospective basis. As such, we reclassified
$
94
of foreign current deferred tax assets to non-current on the consolidated balance sheets as of
April
2,
2017
and
December
31,
2016.
The deferred tax liabilities relate to U.S. tax obligations which cannot be netted against foreign deferred taxes. The adoption of ASU
2015
-
17
did not affect our consolidated statements of income.
 
 
In
March
2016,
the FASB issued (“ASU”)
2016
-
09,
Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic
718)
("ASU
2016
-
09").
ASU
2016
-
09
identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU
2016
-
09
is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after
December
 
15,
 
2016.
We adopted the new accounting standard in the
first
quarter of
2017
and will maintain our policy to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine stock-based compensation expense. Adoption of this new accounting standard resulted in the recognition of an increase in the Company’s gross deferred tax asset of approximately
$1.2
and an offsetting increase in the valuation allowance. There was no impact to the Company’s retained earnings as a result of adopting this new accounting standard.
 
 
In
July
2015,
the FASB issued ASU
2015
-
11,
"Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by using only the lower of cost and net realizable value. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after
December
15,
2016,
and must be applied on a retrospective basis.
We adopted the new accounting standard in the
first
quarter of
2017.
There was no material impact to the Company's financial statements as a result of adopting this new accounting standard.
 
There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures, from those disclosed in the Company’s
2016
Annual Report on Form
10
-K, except for the following.
 
 
In
January
2017,
the FASB issued ASU
2017
-
04,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic
350)
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU
2017
-
04
eliminates the
two
-step process that required identification of potential impairment and a separate measure of the actual impairment. The annual assessment of goodwill impairment will be determined by using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
