In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposal of Components of an Entity, which updates the guidance in Topics 205 and 360.  ASU No. 2014-08 requires that the disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results.  ASU No. 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures regarding discontinued operations.  ASU No. 2014-08 is required to be applied prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014.  The adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which created Topic 606.  ASU No. 2014-09 establishes a core principle that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  In order to achieve that core principle, companies are required to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies a performance obligation.  ASU No. 2014-09 will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and can be applied either (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period, or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial application recognized on the date of adoption.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on its financial position and results of operations.
