Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block] |
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 -02, “Leases”, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The new standard will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018 -02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income” (Topic 220 ) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Act) that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018 -02, however, does not change the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. ASU 2018 -02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2020, with the option to early adopt prior to the effective date. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018 -15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract”. The FASB issued ASU 2018 -15 to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. ASU 2018 -15 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2020, with the option to early adopt prior to the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.In August 2018, the SEC issued Release No. 33 -10532 that amends and clarifies certain financial reporting requirements. The principal change to our financial reporting will be the inclusion of the annual disclosure requirement of changes in stockholders’ equity in Rule 3 -04 of Regulation S-X to interim periods. We will adopt this new rule beginning with our financial reporting for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Upon adoption, we will include our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity with each quarterly filing on Form 10 -Q. |
