New Accounting Pronouncements

The following paragraphs summarize the impact of new accounting pronouncements:

 

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  The objective of the Update is to expand the simplification of the subsequent measurement of goodwill to include public business entities and not-for-profit entities.  The simplification eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.  For public companies that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods, and should be applied on a prospective basis.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.    Management is evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740).  The Update provides guidance to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory.  Under the new guidance, companies should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.  Intellectual property and property, plant, and equipment, are two common examples of assets included in the scope of this Update.  For public companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management is evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash payments.  The Update provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, with the objective of reducing the diversity in practice.  The Update addresses eight specific cash flow issues.  For public companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied retrospectively.  Management is evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).  The Update amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The update affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.  For public companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on the Company’s 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 the Update is to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  For public companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management is evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” to revise the accounting related to lease accounting.  Under the new guidance, a lessee is required to record a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.   The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Adoption of the standard requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach for all periods presented at the time of adoption.  Management is evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” to generally require equity investments be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily-determinable fair value, and change disclosure and presentation requirements regarding financial instruments and other comprehensive income, and clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update provides a five-step revenue recognition model for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers (unless the contracts are included in the scope of other standards). The guidance requires an entity to recognize the 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 and services. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, and must be applied either retrospectively or using the modified retrospective approach. In April 2015, the FASB voted to propose a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09 and issued an exposure draft. Management is evaluating the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption would be permitted, but not before the original public entity effective date.
