(20) New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 deferring the effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption as of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently reviewing its revenue contract arrangements and we expect our review to be complete in 2017. At this time we do not expect any material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We have not yet determined whether we will adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-09 on a retrospective basis or through a cumulative adjustment to equity.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 Income taxes – Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in this update require deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment will have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases.  The update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements.  The amendments in this update are effective beginning January 1, 2019 with retrospective application. The Company is the process of assessing the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.  The Company expects the primary impact to our consolidated financial statements will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations. Our current minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are disclosed in Note 6.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2106-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The update is designed to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  The update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.  The update clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows.  The update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.  The Company adopted the update for the period ended December 31, 2016.  The update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the definition of a business.  The 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 of assets or businesses.  The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods.  Early adoption is allowed for transactions which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted the update in ASU 2017-01 for transactions which occurred on or after October 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
