New Accounting Standards
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).”  The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test.  The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.  An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.  The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis.  The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.  The Company has adopted this standard as of October 1, 2017.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805).” This update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this standard as of December 31, 2017.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).” The new standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets (right of use) and lease obligations (lease liability) for leases previously classified as operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles on the balance sheet for leases with terms in excess of 12 months. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has engaged a third-party expert to assist in the analysis of its lease arrangements to ensure the appropriate steps are taken in its assessment of the standard. The ultimate effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements will be based on an evaluation of the contract-specific facts and circumstances. With respect to leases in which we are the lessee, we expect to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding right of use asset. We plan to utilize the FASB package of three practical expedients under ASC 842-10-65-1(f). We are currently evaluating what other effect, if any, ASC 842 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (the "new revenue standard”) for contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application using the modified retrospective method.
We recognized the cumulative effect of the initial application of the new revenue standard as an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2018 for $1.8 million. Therefore, the comparative information for prior periods has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
A majority of the Company's revenues are not subject to the new revenue standard. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in an increase of approximately $0.1 million and $2.4 million in our results from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. A majority of our product revenues continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our facilities.
