Note 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax reform legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Tax Act provides for significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Among other items, the Tax Act permanently reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

Additionally, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) which provides guidance on accounting for the Act’s impact under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). The guidance in SAB 118 addresses certain fact patterns where the accounting for changes in tax laws or tax rates under ASC 740 is incomplete upon issuance of an entity's financial statements for the reporting period in which the Act is enacted. Under the staff guidance in SAB 118, in the financial reporting period in which the Act is enacted, the income tax effects of the Act (i.e., only for those tax effects in which the accounting under ASC 740 is incomplete) would be reported as a provisional amount based on a reasonable estimate (to the extent a reasonable estimate can be determined), which would be subject to adjustment during a “measurement period” until the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. The measurement period is limited to no more than one year beyond the enactment date under the staff's guidance. SAB 118 also describes supplemental disclosures that should accompany the provisional amounts, including the reasons for the incomplete accounting, the additional information or analysis that is needed, and other information relevant to why the registrant was not able to complete the accounting required under ASC 740 in a timely manner. For discussion of the impacts of the Tax Act, refer to Note 10.

In November 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-14, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 116 and SEC Release No. 33-10403. This ASU amended, superseded and added certain SEC paragraphs in Topic 220, Topic 605 and Topic 606 to reflect the August 2017 issuance of SAB 116 and SEC Release No. 33-10403. The SEC staff issued SAB 116 to align its revenue guidance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. For public business entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11 – 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 Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Stakeholders asserted that accounting for freestanding and embedded instruments with down round features as liabilities subject to fair value measurement on an ongoing basis creates a significant reporting burden and unnecessary income statement volatility associated with changes in value of an entity’s own share price. That is, current accounting guidance requires changes in fair value of an instrument with a down round feature to be recognized in earnings for both increases and decreases in share price, even though an increase in share price will not cause a down round feature to be triggered and a decrease will cause an adjustment to the strike price only if and when an entity engages in a subsequent equity offering.

Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of the extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests.

The amendments in Part I of this update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round features no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments in Part II of this update re-characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 48 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. This amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendment in this update simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. An entity should apply the amendments in this update on a prospective basis. This amendment will be effective for the Company in its fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has early adopted this standard as of July 1, 2017. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial reporting.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The Board issued this update to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of assisting entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under Topic 805, there are three elements of a business—inputs, processes, and outputs (collectively referred to as a “set”) although outputs are not required as an element of a business set. The amendments in this update provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business, reducing the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments in this update:

1. require that a business set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output, and

2. remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements.

The amendments provide a framework for evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. Lastly, the amendments in this update narrow the definition of the term output so that the term is consistent with how outputs are described in Topic 606. This amendment will be effective for the Company in its fiscal year (including interim periods) beginning July 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842,) a new guidance on leases. This guidance replaces the prior lease accounting guidance in its entirety. The underlying principle of the new standard is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for substantially all leases, with an exception for leases with terms of less than twelve months. The standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach, which includes several optional practical expedients. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company on July 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments, a guidance related to financial instruments - overall recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The update to the standard is effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company on July 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606). This authoritative accounting guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. This guidance is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this guidance on July 1, 2018. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this guidance. The Company is evaluating which transition approach to use and its impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
