the Financial Accounting Standard’s Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No.

“Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic
606
). The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
605,
“Revenue Recognition”, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification.
 
Effective
January 
1,
2018,
the Company adopted the requirements of Topic
606
using the modified retrospective method, which requires the recognition of the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard (if any) as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the fiscal year beginning
January 
1,
2018.
  The adoption of Topic
606
did
not
result in the recognition of a cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings under the modified retrospective approach, nor did it have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  See also Note
13
– “Revenue”.
