ASC Update 2015-03 “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASC Update 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASC Update 2015-03 revises the presentation guidance for debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability. The effect of this update is to present the debt issuance costs as a direct deduction to the liability on the balance sheet and retrospective application is required. This update does not change the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Chugach began application of ASC 2015-03 with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. Adoption did not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

ASC Update 2015-15 “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASC Update 2015-15, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements.” ASC Update 2015-15 amends guidance related to the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements for SEC reporting. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Chugach began application of ASC 2015-15 with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. Adoption did not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Adoption of the above guidance was applied retrospectively and reduced deferred charges and long-term debt by the unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.8 million and $2.7 million at September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Issued, not yet adopted:

ASC Update 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and Related Updates

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASC Update 2014-09 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue related to the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This update was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, for which early application was prohibited. However, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASC Update 2014-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” deferring the effective date of ASC Update 2014-09 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and permitting early adoption of this update, but only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Chugach has not yet selected a transition method and is evaluating the effect on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

ASC Update 2016-11 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 and 2014-06 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016, EITF Meeting (SEC Update)”

This update affects the guidance in ASC Update 2014-09 and 2014-06 and follows the same effective date and transition requirements. Chugach has not yet selected a transition method and is still evaluating the effect on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
