NOTE 2 — RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

There is no recently issued accounting guidance that has not yet been adopted that the Company considers material to its condensed consolidated financial statements except for the following:

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued a final standard on revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), in order to create a new, principles-based revenue recognition framework that may affect nearly every revenue-generating entity. As delayed by the FASB, ASU 2014-09 and a series of related amending pronouncements issued by the FASB become effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09, as amended, on its condensed consolidated financial statements, including which of the alternative application approaches available under the standards will be utilized for its adoption. Entities are permitted to apply the new standards either retrospectively, subject to certain practical expedients, or through an alternative transition method that requires the application of the guidance only to contracts that are uncompleted on the date of initial application. The Company expects to apply the new standards using the modified retrospective method upon its adoption date of February 1, 2018 which will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. To date, the Company has examined a contract that it believes is representative of the fixed price contracts that will be in place at the date of adoption and has come to preliminary conclusions on the impact of the new standards on revenues using the 5-step process prescribed by ASU 2014-09, as amended. It does not believe that the adoption of the standards will have a significant impact on its revenue recognition patterns for its fixed price engineering, procurement and construction contracts as compared to revenue recognition under the existing revenue guidance, assuming that contract structures similar to those in place are in effect at the time of the Company’s adoption. The Company expects that revenues generated in the future will continue to be recognized over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress consistent with current practice. However, there are certain industry-specific implementation issues that are still unresolved and, depending on the resolution of these matters, conclusions on the impact on the Company’s revenue recognition patterns could change. Through the date of adoption, the Company will continue to evaluate the impacts of ASU 2014-09 to ensure that its preliminary conclusions continue to remain accurate. Additionally, the Company is continuing its assessment of the impact of ASU 2014-09, as amended, on its financial statement disclosures which are expected to be more extensive based on the requirements of the new standards.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases, which amends the existing guidance and which will require recognition of operating leases with lease terms of more than twelve months on the balance sheet. For these leases, companies will record assets for the rights and liabilities for the obligations that are created by the leases. The pronouncement will require disclosures that provide qualitative and quantitative information for the lease assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements. Although the adoption of this pronouncement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, will affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has not yet determined the complete extent or significance of the changes.
