Note 4. – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. (ASU) 2014-09 “Revenue with Contracts from Customers”. ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) . The new guidance (i) removes inconsistencies, and weaknesses in revenue requirements, (ii) provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, (iii) improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets, (iv) provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements, and (v) simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within that reporting period; however, a one year delay has been approved with the issuance of ASU 2015-14 “Revenue with Contracts from Customers”. The Company is still evaluating the effects that the adoption of this update will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. ASU 2015-11 requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and related interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. ASU 2015-17 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with related valuation allowances, to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Each tax jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The new guidance does not change the existing requirement that prohibits offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets of another jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about the lease arrangements. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
