14. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

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.  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 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. 2017-04, 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 adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.  ASU 2017-07 provides guidance to update and primarily improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost reporting. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendment was applied retrospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period after December 15, 2017.  The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Upcoming

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"). 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 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.  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 - Leases. ASU 2018-10 clarifies and increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions.  The guidance is to be applied upon adoption of Topic 842 and is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018.  Also in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases. ASU 2018-11 provides clarification and an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard.  The guidance is to be applied upon adoption of Topic 842 and is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018.  The adoption of this amendment will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In calculating the effect of Topic 842 – Leases, the Company has elected the transition method thereby not restating comparable periods and recognizing the cumulative effect of this guidance to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2019.  The Company has elected to account for non-lease components as part of the lease component to which they relate.  Lease accounting involves significant judgements, including when making estimates related to the lease term, lease payments, and discount rate.  In accordance with the guidance, the Company will recognize the right of use (ROU) asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that could impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
