Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018.
Revenue Recognition
Consistent with the Company’s previous revenue recognition practice, homebuilding revenue is recognized on the settlement date at the contract sales price, when control is transferred to our customers. Mortgage banking revenue recognition will continue to be governed by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and by ASC Topic 825 - Financial Instruments, and is not subject to Topic 606. See Note 10 for disclosure of revenue by reporting segment.
The Company’s contract liabilities, consisting of deposits received from customers (“Handmoney”) on homes not settled, were $172,033 and $167,486 as of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recognized in revenue approximately $90,000 of the Handmoney held as of March 31, 2018.
The Company’s prepaid sales compensation totaled approximately $20,100 and $19,500, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These amounts are included in homebuilding “Other assets” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred Revenue
Topic 606 no longer requires sellers of real estate to consider the initial and continuing involvement criteria in ASC 360-20, but instead only conclude on the collectibility of the transaction price. On January 1, 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment, net of tax, of $2,196 to recognize deferred profit on home settlements, which the Company had previously determined that there was significant continuing involvement and believed to be fully collectible.
Practical Expedients and Exemption
At contract inception, the performance obligation to complete and settle the home with a customer has an expected duration of less than one year. As a result, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts.
No other adjustments were made as a result of the adoption of Topic 606.
Other recently adopted accounting pronouncements
The Company adopted ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, effective January 1, 2018. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-15, the Company made the election to classify distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures using the cumulative earnings approach. This election was applied retrospectively, which reclassified a portion of distributions received from the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures between operating and investing activities on the prior year condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and related disclosures.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash, effective January 1, 2018. The amendments in the standard require that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, the Company's beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash balances presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows were retrospectively adjusted to include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Homebuilding restricted cash was attributable to customer deposits for certain home sales. Mortgage banking restricted cash included amounts collected from customers for loans in process and closed mortgage loans held for sale.
The beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalent balances presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows include cash related to a consolidated joint venture, which is included in homebuilding "Other assets" on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cash related to this consolidated joint venture as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $1,128 and $1,069, respectively, and as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $1,199 and $1,214, respectively.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and related disclosures.
The Company also adopted ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting, effective January 1, 2018.  The amendments in the standard clarify when changes in a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification, and will allow entities to make certain changes to share-based payment awards without accounting for them as modifications.  Under the new guidance, entities will only apply modification accounting if there are substantive changes made to share-based payment awards.  If a change made to a share-based payment award does not affect the fair value, vesting conditions and classification as either an equity or liability instrument, modification accounting will not need to be applied.  The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on-balance sheet with a liability equal to the present value of lease payments over the lease term and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Lessees will recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The standard also requires additional disclosures of key information about leasing arrangements. The standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019. Based on its current portfolio of leases, the Company believes that adoption of this standard will result in the recognition of less than $100,000 of right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities on its balance sheet, predominately related to real estate leases.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which significantly changes the way impairment of financial assets is recognized. The standard will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. The standard’s provisions will be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the effective date. The standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2019. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard’s objective is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in the standard, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge would then be recognized, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
