New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Deferral of the Effective Date,” which revises the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”) to interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted no earlier than interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which amends current revenue guidance.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The Company’s analysis of sales contracts under ASC 606 supports the recognition of revenue at a point in time, typically when title passes to the customer upon delivery, for the majority of contracts, which is consistent with the previous revenue recognition model.  The Company utilized the modified retrospective approach, which required a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings and no adjustments to prior periods.  The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018.  There was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which amends current lease guidance.  This guidance requires, among other things, that lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.  Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.  In March 2018, the FASB voted to offer a simplified transition method which will allow entities the option to instead apply the provisions of the new guidance at the effective date, without adjusting the comparative periods presented.  The new lease guidance will be effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted.  Upon initial evaluation, the Company expects an impact to our consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures, as our operating leases may require adjustments to record a right to use asset and related lease liability.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact to the consolidated statement of operations or consolidated statement of cash flows.
