Standards adopted

   

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.  The guidance in this ASU applies to all entities that change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice as well as cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to the modification of the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments in ASU 2017-09 include guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. 



In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.  The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business.  The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  The amendments provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. 

   

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statements of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.  The guidance in this ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.  As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018 and applied it retrospectively to the periods presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.  For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was adjusted to exclude the change in restricted cash related to cash held in escrow for the future decommissioning obligations associated with an oil and gas property.  The adjustment resulted in a $30.6 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018.



In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.  The guidance in this ASU requires entities to recognize at the transaction date the income tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

   

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP.  The guidance in this ASU requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue that it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The Company adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective adoption method.  There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized.



Standards not yet adopted



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet.  This new ASU will require the lessee to recognize a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term for all leases longer than 12 months.  For leases with a term of 12 month or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and recognize the lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Under the new guidance, the Company will revise its leasing policies to require most of the leases, where the Company is the lessee, to be recognized on the balance sheet as a lease and lease liability.  Further, the Company will separate leases from other contracts where the Company is either the lessor or lessee when the rights conveyed under the contracts indicate there is a lease.  The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company anticipates that its assets and liabilities will increase by a significant amount.   The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019.
