Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of share-based compensation guidance to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than the adoption date for ASC 606 on revenue recognition. The update is effective through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statements.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SEC Update), which expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the application of FASB Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period that includes December 22, 2017—the date on which the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Legislation") was signed into law. SAB 118 provides guidance for entities under three scenarios:

Measurement of certain income tax effects is complete—Entities must reflect the tax effects of the Tax Legislation for which the accounting is complete;

Measurement of certain income tax effects can be reasonably estimated—Entities must report provisional amounts for those specific income tax effects of the Tax Legislation for which the accounting is incomplete but a reasonable estimate can be determined. Provisional amounts or adjustments to provisional amounts identified in the measurement period, as defined, should be included as an adjustment to tax expense or benefit from continuing operations in the period the amounts are determined; and

Measurement of certain income tax effects cannot be reasonably estimated—Entities are not required to report provisional amounts for any specific income tax effects of the Tax Legislation for which a reasonable estimate cannot be determined, and would continue to apply Topic 740 based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the enactment of the Tax Legislation.

Entities are to report the provisional amounts of the tax effects of the Tax Legislation in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be determined. SAB 118 further provides that the measurement period is complete when an entity’s accounting is complete and in no circumstances should the measurement period extend beyond one year from the enactment date. The Company may be able to complete the accounting for some provisions earlier than others. As a result, the Company may need to apply all three scenarios in determining the accounting for the Tax Legislation based on the information that is available. The ultimate impact of the Act on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for 2017 and beyond may differ from current estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, guidance that may be issued, and other actions we may take as a result of the Tax Legislation that differ from those presently contemplated. For additional information, see Note 14 to the financial statements in our Annual Report.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which clarifies certain aspects of certain not-yet-effective guidance on the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. Entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017 and June 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments until the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018. Entities may early adopt these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, as long as they have adopted Update 2016-01. The Company adopted the new guidance in the second quarter of 2018 with no impact on its financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for certain tax effects resulting from the enactment of the Tax Legislation. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The update is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the US federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Legislation is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update and does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This new standard requires organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the lease assets and lease liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases and disclose key information about the leasing agreements. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, intended to clarify the Codification or to correct unintended application of the guidance and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional and optional transition method to adopt the new lease requirements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on our financial position and related disclosures and expect the impact on our assets and liabilities will be material due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; however the impact cannot currently be quantified.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This new standard provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resulting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. In July 2015, the FASB postponed the effective date of this standard. The standard is now effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In May 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards updates to address implementation issues and to clarify the guidance for identifying performance obligations, licenses, and determining if a company is the principal or agent in a revenue arrangement. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, which is intended to make minor corrections and to improve and clarify the implementation guidance of Topic 606. The new standard also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company implemented an evaluation tool to assist it in clearly determining the risks, materiality and complexities associated with its multiple revenue streams. The Company finalized its assessment of its impacts and determined there was no material effect on our financial position and results of operations nor do we expect to have a material impact on our financial statements in future periods. The timing and amount of revenue recognized based on the new standard is consistent with the revenue recognition policy under previous guidance, however, certain additional financial statement disclosures are now required, including additional disaggregated view of revenue. We have adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method and comparative information has not been restated and continues to be presented under the accounting guidance effective for that period.
