New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
RECENT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING STANDARDS	NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING STANDARDS *Accounting standards not yet adopted* In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases, (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. Subsequently, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvement, to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted for all entities. We will adopt the ASU on January 1, 2019. Because of the number of leases we use to support our operations, the adoption of this ASU is expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management is currently evaluating the extent of this anticipated impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations, and the quantitative and qualitative factors that will impact the Company as part of the adoption of this ASU, as well as any changes to its leasing strategy that may occur because of the changes to the accounting and recognition of leases. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16 (“ASU 2018-16”), Derivatives and Hedging. ASU 2018-16 expands the permissible benchmark interest rates to include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) to be eligible as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for purposes of applying hedge accounting under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted if an entity already has adopted Update 2017-12. The amendments should be adopted on a prospective basis for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationship entered into on or after the date of adoption. As we have previously adopted the amendments in Update 2017-12, and as the benchmark rate on our term loan debt does not utilize the SOFR, the immediate adoption of this amendment will have no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for deferring implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This ASU is effective in the first quarter of 2020 with early adoption permitted and can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02 (“ASU 2018-02”), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2018-02 allows for the reclassification of certain income tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act between “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and “Retained earnings.” This ASU relates to the requirement that adjustments to deferred tax liabilities and assets related to a change in tax laws or rates to be included in “Income from continuing operations”, even in situations where the related items were originally recognized in “Other comprehensive income” (rather than in “Income from continuing operations”). Subsequently, in March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes, to clarify and amend guidance in ASU 2018-02. ASU 2018-02 and ASU 2018-05 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this ASU is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the tax laws or rates were recognized. We are evaluating the effect of this guidance. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 (“ASU 2017-04”), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on the current Step 1). ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of this guidance. *Other reporting disclosure topics* In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, that expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the SEC Release, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018. However, as provided for by the SEC in Q&A 105.09, the Company will defer presenting its analysis of stockholders’ equity in its quarterly report in Form 10-Q until its quarter ended March 31, 2019.
