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 new standard on revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), in order to create a principles-based revenue recognition framework that may affect nearly every revenue-generating entity. 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. As a result, the Company will be required to adopt the new standard effective February 1, 2018.

 

The Company is completing its evaluation of the impacts of ASU 2014-09, as amended, on its consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to adopt the new standard using the allowable modified retrospective method which will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of February 1, 2018. To date, the Company has examined an engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contract of GPS that it believes is representative of the four other active EPC contracts of GPS, significant contracts that were awarded to TRC during the current year that the Company believes are representative of the large customer contracts that will be in place at the date of adoption, and the largest contract awarded to APC during the current year. Based on these reviews, it has come to preliminary conclusions on the impact of the new standard on the revenues of the Company using the 5-step process prescribed by ASU 2014-09, as amended. The Company does not believe that the adoption of the standard will have a significant impact on the revenue recognition patterns for its long-term contracts as compared to revenues recognized 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 most of its future revenues will continue to be recognized over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress similar to 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, as amended, on its large EPC and its smaller long-term contracts to ensure that its preliminary conclusions continue to remain accurate for future revenues. 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 standard.

 

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.

 

Goodwill

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Current guidance requires a public entity to perform a two-step test to determine the amount, if any, of goodwill impairment. In Step 1, an entity compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the entity performs Step 2 and compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill for that reporting unit. An impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill for the reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill is recorded, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in the new pronouncement remove the second step of the test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment.

 

As early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017, the Company intends to use the new guidance in the determination of any goodwill impairment loss determined in connection with the Company’s annual testing as of November 1, 2017, and in the future. The effect of the adoption of this new standard is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
