Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

2. Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update that deferred the effective date of the new guidance they previously issued in May 2014 related to the recognition and reporting of revenue that establishes a comprehensive new revenue recognition model designed to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance allows for the use of either the full or modified retrospective transition method. This new standard will be effective for us beginning April 28, 2018, although adoption as of the original effective date of April 29, 2017 is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements, as well as which transition method and adoption date we intend to use.
