Note 4 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On June 10, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 (ASU 2014-10), which eliminates development stage reporting requirements under ASC 915, as well as amends provisions of existing variable interest entity guidance under ASC 810. Additionally, the ASU indicates that the lack of commencement of principal operations represents a risk and uncertainty and, accordingly, is subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 275. As a result of the changes, existing development stage entity presentation and disclosure requirements are eliminated. We have adopted ASU 2014-10 on our consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 2015.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 is intended to improve the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts with customers by providing a principle based approach. The core principal of the standard is that revenue should be recognized when the transfer of promised goods or services is made in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods and services. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2015-14”) which deferred the effective date of the standard. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” which requires an entity to evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The guidance will become effective for the year ended December 31, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)” (“ASU 2015-03”). Currently generally accepted accounting principles U.S. GAAP requires any debt issuance costs to be reported in the balance sheet as deferred charges. The amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” (“ASU 2015-17”). Currently U.S. GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments under ASU 2015-17 will require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
