11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU No. 2014-09 provides authoritative guidance which impacts virtually all aspects of an entity's revenue recognition.  The core principle of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized 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.  The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 defers the adoption date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers in which both the FASB and IASB in a joint project will clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. The guidance is to be applied using a retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements and is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2017.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU No. 2015-11 provides authoritative guidance which requires a company to change its valuation method of inventory from the lower of cost or market (market being replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less an approximate profit margin) to the lower of cost or net realizable value.  The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The amendment should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations. ASU 2015-16 provides authoritative guidance which will simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination.  U.S. GAAP currently requires that during the measurement period, the acquirer retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.  The amendments require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not yet been issued.  The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
 
In November 2015, the FASB issued accounting standards update 2015-07 which simplifies the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. This standard requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in the classified balance sheet, rather than separating such deferred taxes into current and non-current amounts, as is required under current guidance. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period with early application permitted. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires leases to present right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements and is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting standards update 2016-09 which simplifies employee share-based payment accounting. This standard will simplify the income tax consequences, accounting for forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company did not early adopt ASU 2016-09. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a business. ASU 2017-01 provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or dispositions of assets or businesses. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The amendment should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 provides guidance to simplify the subsequent measure of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The amendment should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period after January 1, 2017. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-06, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960); Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962); Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): Employee Benefit Plan Master Trust Reporting. ASU 2017-06 provides guidance for reporting by an employee benefit plan for its interest in a master trust. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The amendment should be applied retrospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period after December 15, 2018.  The Company is still in the process of determining the effect that the adoption of ASU 2017-06 will have on the accompanying financial statements.
