ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES
    
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) regularly issues updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification that are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (ASU).   Below is a summary of the ASUs, effective for current or future periods, most relevant to our financial statements. The FASB has issued accounting guidance, in addition to the items discussed below, effective for future periods which we do not believe will have a material impact on our future financial statements.

Adopted in 2017:
 
ASU 2016-16 "Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory": Eliminates deferral of the tax effects of all intra-entity asset sales other than inventory, resulting in tax expense being recorded on the sale of the asset in the seller's tax jurisdiction when the sale occurs, even though the pretax effects of the transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset arising in the buyer's jurisdiction is also recognized at the time of sale. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The modified retrospective approach was required, and as a result, we recorded a $1.2 increase to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2017. Adoption of this new guidance did not materially impact our 2017 Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

To be adopted in future years:

ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606):  Supersedes most of the existing authoritative literature for revenue recognition and prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this ASU by one year, which results in the new standard being effective January 1, 2018. In addition, the FASB issued several amendments to the standard during 2016. The amended standard permits two transition methods, the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. The new standard will also require expanded disclosures pertaining to revenues from contracts with customers in the notes to the financial statements.

We expect to adopt the new revenue standard on January 1, 2018. Presented below is the status of the process we have utilized for the adoption of the new standard and the significant implementation matters yet to be addressed:

We established a cross-functional implementation team to assess all potential impacts of this standard.
We determined key factors from the five step process to recognize revenue as prescribed by the new standard that may be applicable to each of our 17 business units that roll up into our four segments.
Significant customers and contracts from each business unit were identified. We have substantially completed the review of these contracts by the filing date of this second quarter 2017 Form 10-Q, and any remaining contracts will be reviewed by the filing date of the third quarter 2017 Form 10-Q.
Evaluation of the provisions of these contracts, and the comparison of historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard (including the related qualitative disclosures regarding the potential impact of the effects of the accounting policies we expect to apply and a comparison to our current revenue recognition policies), is in process. We expect to complete this process prior to the filing of, and make disclosures in, the third quarter Form 10-Q.
Implementation of any required changes to our systems and processes, including updating our internal controls, is expected to be completed during the remainder of 2017.
Our work to date indicates that certain contracts with customers in roughly one-quarter of our 17 business units contain provisions that may require a change in the way revenue and related expense are recognized, including possibly recognizing revenue over time. The timing of revenue and expense recognition for an over-time revenue recognition method may differ from our current practice of recognizing revenue and expense when title and risk of loss pass to our customer.
Certain operations in these business units also have tooling arrangements with customers. The terms of these tooling arrangements vary by customer. Consequently, the revenue recognition treatment of these arrangements will be dependent upon the specific terms of these customer contracts. The review of such contracts has been, and is expected to be completed consistent with the timing noted above.
We are currently in the process of determining the expected quantitative impact that the adoption of Topic 606 will have on our financial statements. Once this determination is made, we will update our disclosure.
We concluded that we will transition to the new standard using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, there is a cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period of the adoption for existing contracts. 2017 and earlier years will be presented under legacy GAAP. 2018 will be presented under the new standard for existing and new contracts. Footnotes will disclose existing and new contracts under both the new standard and legacy GAAP.
In addition, we will elect to apply the following practical expedients:
Significant financing component - We believe that for substantially all of our contracts, the transfer of a promised good to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good will be one year or less. Thus, we will not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.

Sales taxes - We will exclude from its transaction price any amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes. This is consistent with our current practice.

Shipping and handling - We will elect to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers as fulfillment activities rather than assessing such activities as performance obligations.

We continue to evaluate the remaining available practical expedients.

ASU 2016-02 “ Leases”:  Requires that a lessee recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements. This ASU will be effective January 1, 2019, and we are assessing all potential impacts of the standard. Currently, we anticipate adopting this standard January 1, 2019. We believe it will increase our assets and liabilities for the addition of right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. We are evaluating its impact on our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Cash Flows.

ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment": This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, the annual goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value up to the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. This ASU will be effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance, and do not expect it to materially impact our future financial statements.

ASUs 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”, 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)”, and 2017-07 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" are currently being evaluated. However, we do not expect these updates to materially impact our future financial statements.
