Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-11 which is a two-part update. Part I of this ASU addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Part II of this ASU addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The ASU becomes effective for the Company fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Service Concession Arrangements (Topic 853): Determining the Customer of the Operation Services. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-10 which provides guidance for operating entities when they enter into a service concession arrangement with a public-sector grantor. The ASU becomes effective for the Company at the beginning of its 2019 fiscal year, at the time the Company adopts Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 which was issued to clarify and reduce both (i) diversity in practice and (ii) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” to changes in the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. This update is required beginning with the Company’s 2019 fiscal year and should be applied prospectively to award modifications after the effective date. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Section A—Summary and Amendments That Create Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40). In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. The ASU becomes effective for the Company at the beginning of its 2019 fiscal year. In 2016 and 2017, the FASB issued several ASU’s related to ASU 2014-09, which simplify and provide additional guidance to companies for implementation of the standard. The Company is evaluating the recently issued guidance on practical expedients in order to select a transition method. The Company is also assessing the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. This evaluation includes completing an inventory of revenue streams by like contracts to allow for ease of implementation, monitoring developments for the manufacturing industry, and evaluating potential changes to our business processes, systems, and controls to support the recognition and disclosure under the new standard.

Preparation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 which states that under GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting. Even when an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this ASU should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s annual reporting for fiscal year 2017, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements and plans to adopt it in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business: In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 which clarifies the definition of a business for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment: In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment. This new guidance is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2021. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
