Revenue from Contracts

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 represents the culmination of efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to issue a common revenue standard. In April 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year, which resulted in ASU 2014-09 becoming effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Lease Accounting

In February 2016, the FASB issued its new leases standard, ASU No. 2016-02,  Leases (Topic 842)  ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 is aimed at putting most leases on lessees’ balance sheets, but it would also change aspects of lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that year. As a result, the Company will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2019.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Stock Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

There are no other recent accounting pronouncements that have been issued by the FASB that would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
