Description

 

Expected Date of Adoption

 

Effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

ASU 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842)

 

This standard requires a lessee to recognize leases on its balance sheet by recording a lease liability representing the obligation to make future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A lessee is permitted to make an election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The standard also modifies the definition of a lease and requires expanded disclosures. This standard may be early adopted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach with certain available practical expedients.

 

January 1, 2019

 

We continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Preliminarily, we anticipate a material impact from the requirement to recognize all leases upon our Consolidated Balance Sheets and no impact to cash flows. Because this assessment is preliminary and the accounting for leases is subject to significant judgment, this conclusion could change as we finalize our assessment. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this standard upon our results of operations, whether we will elect to early adopt this standard or which, if any, practical expedients we will elect upon transition.

ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)

 

This standard simplifies aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with accounting for employee share-based compensation. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor's own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. This standard may be early adopted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach.

 

January 1, 2019

 

We are currently evaluating the effect of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Date of Adoption

 

Effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and subsequent amendments thereto

 

This standard amends existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or 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. This standard may be early adopted beginning January 1, 2017. We elected to adopt this standard using a full retrospective approach.

 

January 1, 2018

 

The adoption of this new standard did not affect the amounts shown in our Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures as the Company has no revenues.

ASU 2017‑04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

 

This standard simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement for an entity to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation. An entity will instead measure the impairment as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. This standard may be early adopted beginning January 1, 2017 and must be adopted prospectively.

 

January 1, 2018

 

The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

ASU 2016‑16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory

 

This standard requires the immediate recognition of the tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. This standard may be early adopted, but only at the beginning of an annual period, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach.

 

January 1, 2018

 

The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

 

This standard principally affects accounting standards for equity investments, financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Upon the effective date of the new standards, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities, other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting, will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification and therefore, no changes in fair value will be reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values.

 

January 1, 2018

 

Upon the adoption of this standard, we made a cumulative effect adjustment of $40 thousand to accumulated deficit for unrealized losses on our available-for-sale investment securities.
