Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic

2014
-
09
on
January 1, 2018
as to all contracts using the modified retrospective method and the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The financial information for comparative prior periods has
not
been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The effect of adopting ASU

in the current annual reporting period as compared with the guidance that was in effect before the change is immaterial. The Company’s internal control framework did
not
materially change, but existing internal controls were modified due to certain changes to business processes and systems to support the new revenue recognition standard as necessary. The Company continues to expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to its net income and its internal control framework on an ongoing basis.

finalizes previous proposals regarding shareholder concerns that the definition of a business is applied too broadly. The guidance assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or of businesses. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after

including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this guidance on

not
the same immediately before and after the change:
1

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
February 2016,
the FASB issued ASU
No.
2016
-
02,
Leases (Topic
842
)
(“ASU
2016
-
02”
). ASU
2016
-
02
will require most lessees to recognize a majority of the company’s leases on the balance sheet, which will increase reported assets and liabilities. ASU
2016
-
02
is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2018
including interim periods within such annual reporting periods with early adoption permitted. The Company has
not
early adopted this guidance. The Company developed a preliminary implementation plan and is reviewing historical lease agreements to quantify the impact of adoption. Depending on the results of the Company’s review, there could be material changes to the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations. The Company expects to complete the initial analysis of all historical agreements and the overall assessment process by the end of the
third
quarter of
2018
in anticipation of performing additional reviews and other implementation considerations in the
fourth
quarter of
2018.
 
In

2017
-
04,
Goodwill and Other (Topic
350
): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
(“ASU
2017
-
04”
). This amendment simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step
2
from the goodwill impairment test. Step
2
measures goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The amendment simplifies this approach by having the entity (
1
) perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and (
2
) recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, with the understanding that the loss recognized should
not
exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendment is effective for public entities that are SEC filers prospectively for their annual, or any interim, goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019.
Early adoption is permitted for all entities for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after
January 1, 2017.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s financial statements of adopting this guidance but this guidance is
not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or internal control framework.
