Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Issued but not yet adopted by the Company

 

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated result of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

Accounting Standards Codification 220 “Comprehensive Income.” In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” 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 believes this ASU will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Accounting Standards Codification 842 “Leases.”  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842), “Leases.” Topic 842 provides guidance on accounting for leases which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases that will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt the requirements of the new standard effective January 1, 2019 and elect certain available transitional practical expedients.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance which allows an additional transition method to adopt the new leases standard at the adoption date, as compared to the beginning of the earliest period presented and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company expects to elect this transition method at the adoption date of January 1, 2019. The Company continues to analyze its lease portfolio to determine the impact that the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Further, the Company is in the process of reviewing and updating our business processes, as necessary, to assist in our ongoing lease data collection and analysis. Additionally, the Company is updating its accounting policies and internal controls that would be impacted by the new guidance, to ensure readiness for adoption in the first quarter of 2019. 

 

SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification”, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018. The Company will adopt the requirements of the new standard for the interim reporting of the first quarter of 2019.

 

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.  The new standard sets forth a single comprehensive model for recognizing and reporting revenue and 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. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-09 requires enhanced disclosure regarding revenue recognition. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective transition method, which had no material impact on operations, and required no cumulative adjustment to be made to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018. Therefore, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted. See Note 4 for further discussion.

 

Accounting Standards Codification 805 “Business Combinations.”  In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business” was issued.  ASU No. 2017-01 provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business.  The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-01 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 ASU No. 2017-09 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. Additionally, in June 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The update largely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees, particularly with regards to the measurement date and the impact of performance conditions. Under the new guidance, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing). The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-09 and ASU No. 2018-07 in the current year and, therefore, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASU No. 2017-09 and ASU No. 2018-07, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted. See Note 6 for further discussion.
