New Accounting Standards

NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09) and ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date” (ASU 2015-14): ASU 2014-09 provides accounting guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. This guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach.

ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities and permits early adoption on a limited basis. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and is effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. We have not yet selected the year in which we will adopt the standard or our transition method, nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

ASU 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (ASU 2015-03) and ASU 2015-15, “Interest - Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements” (ASU 2015-15):ASU 2015-03 provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of debt issuance costs and requires an entity to present debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related long-term debt liability. This guidance must be applied using a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption.

We will adopt ASU 2015-03 for our annual reporting period ending December 31, 2015, and the adoption will not affect our results of operations or cash flows.Deferred debt issuance coststhat are the subject of ASU 2015-03 are included in Sundryon the Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGasCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and total $78 million, $32 million, and $18 million at September 30, 2015, respectively, and $72 million, $33 million, and $15 million at December 31, 2014, respectively.

ASU 2015-15 clarifies ASU 2015-03 to provide additional guidance related to line-of-credit arrangements and states that the Securities and Exchange Commission staff would not object to an entity continuing to defer and present costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangements, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangements. We will adopt ASU 2015-15 for our annual reporting period ending December 31, 2015 and will continue to includedeferred costs related to our line-of-credit arrangements that are the subject of ASU 2015-15 in Sundryon the Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGasCondensedConsolidated Balance Sheets.

ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations – Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments” (ASU 2015-16): ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement that acquirers in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, the acquirers will recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts that would have been recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. We will adopt ASU 2015-16 for our annual reporting period ending December 31, 2015. Any subsequent measurement-period adjustments to the purchase price allocation related to the acquisition of Gasoductos de Chihuahua that we discuss in Note 3 will occur after the adoption of ASU 2015-16 and will be recognized in the period in which the adjustments are determined.
