Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Issued but not yet adopted by the Company

 

Accounting Standards Codification 220 “Comprehensive Income.” In February 2018, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” was issued. The new guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA “) and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The ASU will take effect for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Accounting Standards Codification 842 “Leases.”  In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” was issued.  This ASU will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases of terms more than 12 months.  The ASU will require both capital and operating leases to be recognized on the balance sheet.  Qualitative and quantitative disclosures will also be required to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  In January 2018, ASU No. 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” was issued. This ASU permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. The ASU will take effect for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements due to the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for real estate and equipment operating leases. The Company continues to evaluate the effect this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  

Recently adopted by the Company

 

 Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”  In May 2014, ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” was issued.  This ASU requires the use of a five-step methodology to depict the transfer of promised goods and 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. In addition, the ASU requires enhanced disclosure regarding revenue recognition.

 

The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method (modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the ASU on a modified retrospective transition method on January 1, 2018 and will apply ASC 606 to the most current period presented in the financial statements issued subsequent to the adoption date. The Company did not record a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 since the Company was recognizing revenue consistent with the provisions of ASC 606 and any adjustment would have been deemed immaterial. In preparation for adoption of the standard, the Company implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information and has reached conclusions on key accounting assessments related to the standard, including that accounting for variable consideration is immaterial.

 

The Company adopted the standard through the application of the portfolio approach and selected a sample of customer contracts to assess under the guidance of the new standard that are characteristically representative of each revenue stream. The Company completed its review of the sample contracts, and there was no significant change to the pattern or timing of revenue recognition as a result of adopting the new standard.

 

Accounting Standards Codification 805 “Business Combinations.”  In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business” was issued.  This ASU provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.  

 

Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation.”  In May 2017, ASU No. 2017-09, “Scope of Modification Accounting” was issued.  The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should apply this ASU on a prospective basis for an award modified on or after the adoption date for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
