Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted guidance amending Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 835, Interest – Imputation of Interest,  issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) addressing the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet. The Company’s debt issuance costs related to its revolving credit agreements continue to be presented as an asset, as permitted, and amortized over the term of the agreements within interest expense. The new guidance did not result in retrospective adjustments to the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

 

During the first quarter 2016, the Company adopted amended ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, issued by the FASB. The amendment eliminated the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively and instead recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustments, including the effect on earnings of any amounts it would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendment was prospectively adopted and did not result in significant adjustments to financial statements or disclosure presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement related to revenue recognition (ASC Topic 606), which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The new standard provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers and contains principles to apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. In July 2015, the FASB announced its decision to defer the effective date of the new standard for one year, making the standard effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement creating ASC Topic 842, Leases. The amendment is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The update will require leases with a term greater than twelve months to be reflected as liabilities with associated right-of-use assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to amend ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The update simplifies the accounting for share-based compensation, which will require the income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the statement of operations when awards vest or are settled and will allow employers to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The amendment is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact this update will have on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

 

Management believes that there is no other new accounting guidance issued but not yet effective that is relevant to the Company’s current financial statements. However, there are new proposals under development by the standard setting bodies which, if and when enacted, may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures, including changes in disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans.
