Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 Leases (ASU 2016-2), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  In January 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, which permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate land easements under Topic 842.  A modified retrospective transition approach was originally required for lessees with capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which created an optional transition method to adopt ASU 2016-02. The optional method is a modified retrospective approach whereby an entity can initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to their opening balance of retained earnings.  We have commenced a detailed analysis of ASU 2016-02 (as amended) and have noted that not all of the items that we have been including in prior Annual Reports on Form 10-K as a “lease” meet the new definition.  Furthermore, we have determined that we will use the modified retrospective approach as our transition method.  Finally, we believe that our Consolidated Balance Sheet will be impacted as we record a ROU and lease liability for all leases that meet the new definition.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (ASU 2016-13), which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date to be based on historical experience, current conditions as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts.  In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASU 2018-19).  ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASU 2016-13.  ASU 2016-13, as amended, is effective for fiscal

years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-02—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02), which allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  ASU 2018-02 is effective for Perceptron on July 1, 2019 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-09 Codification Improvements (ASU 2018-09), which clarifies, corrects and makes minor improvements on a wide variety of Topics in the Codification.  The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications.  The transition and effective dates are based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment, including some amendments that will be effective upon issuance of the update and many of them will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018.  For the amendments that were effective upon issuance of the Update, there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the remaining amendments of ASU 2018-09 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 – Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirement for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13), which changes the disclosures related to, among other aspects of fair value, unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurement and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty.  ASU 2018-13 is effective for Perceptron on July 1, 2020.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 on our disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15 – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop or obtain inter-use software.  ASU 2018-15 is effective for Perceptron on July 1, 2020.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-15 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP.  The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than were required under previous U.S. GAAP.  In March 2016, the FASB issued the final guidance to clarify the principal versus agent guidance (i.e., whether an entity should report revenue gross or net).  In April 2016, the FASB issued final guidance to clarify identifying performance obligation and the licensing implementation guidance.  In May 2016, FASB updated implementation of certain narrow topics within ASU 2014-09.  Finally, in December 2016, the FASB issued several technical corrections and improvements, which clarify the previously issued standards and corrected unintended application of previous guidance.  These standards (collectively “ASC 606”) were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (as amended in August 2015, by ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date), and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods:  (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the applications of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures).  

We adopted the new standard effective July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method only for the contracts that were open as of June 30, 2018 with the cumulative effect recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the date of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning July 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.  Under ASC 606, certain of our services are recognized over time instead of at a point in time upon completion of those services as recognized under superseded guidance.  Additionally, for our contracts with multiple performance obligations in which the payment terms do not correspond with performance, we are no longer required to limit the revenue recognized for satisfied performance obligations to the amount for which payment is not delayed until the satisfaction of additional performance obligations.  Instead, we record revenue for each of the performance obligations as control transfers to the customer, which generally accelerates the revenue recognized for such contracts compared to revenue recognized under superseded guidance.  We also capitalize amounts related to certain commissions paid which qualify as costs to obtain a contract.  The revenues associated with our Measurement Solutions and Value Added Services that were

impacted beginning at July 1, 2018 which were included in the modified transition method adjustment aggregated to $3.8 million. The net impact on retained earnings associated with these revenues was an increase of $2,049,000.  We have also implemented new business processes and internal controls in order to recognize revenue in accordance with the new standard.  See Note 5 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ for the further details regarding the impact of the adoption of this Standard.

The following table summarizes the cumulative effect of the changes to our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 1, 2018 from the adoption of ASC 606:

Under the modified retrospective method of adoption, we are required to disclose in the first year of adoption the hypothetical impact to our financial statements as if we had continued to follow our accounting policies under ASC 605 for the period.  See Note 5 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for a summary of the impact as of and for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01), which amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments.  In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-03 —Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2018-03), which contains technical corrections and improvements related to ASU 2016-01. We adopted both ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03 on July 1, 2018.  Adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15), which made eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.  We adopted ASU 2016-15 on July 1, 2018.  Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.

In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (ASU 2016-16), which requires that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.  We adopted ASU 2016-16 on July 1, 2018.  Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires a company to present their Statement of Cash Flow including amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.  We adopted ASU 2016-18 on July 1, 2018.  We hold restricted cash in short-term bank guarantees to provide financial assurance that we will fulfill certain customer obligations in China.  These balances are part of ‘Short-term investments’ on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The activity in this account is no longer considered an investing activity on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01), which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  We adopted ASU 2017-01 on July 1, 2018. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (ASU 2017-05), which clarifies the scope of Subtopic 610-20 and adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic 610-20, which was issued in May 2014 as a part of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,

provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers.  We adopted ASU 2017-05 on July 1, 2018.  Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2017-09), which provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. We adopted ASU 2017-09 on July 1, 2018.  Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
