Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Diversicare Healthcare Services, Inc. ("Diversicare" or the "Company") provides a broad range of post-acute care services to patients and residents including skilled nursing, ancillary health care services and assisted living. In addition to the nursing and social services usually provided in long-term care centers, we offer a variety of rehabilitative, nutritional, respiratory, and other specialized ancillary services.
As of December 31, 2018, our continuing operations consist of 72 nursing centers with 8,214 licensed skilled nursing beds. Our nursing centers range in size from 48 to 320 licensed nursing beds. The licensed nursing bed count does not include 429 licensed assisted living and other residential beds. Our continuing operations include centers in Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas. The number of centers and beds denoted in these consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial position, operations and accounts of Diversicare and its subsidiaries, all wholly-owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Any joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, which is an investment in an entity over which the Company lacks control, but otherwise has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. The Company had one equity method investee through the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from this investment are reported in equity in net income of investment in unconsolidated affiliate and the proceeds received from the sale are reported in gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated affiliate in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The fees charged by the Company to patients in its nursing centers are recorded on an accrual basis. These rates are contractually adjusted with respect to individuals receiving benefits under federal and state-funded programs and other third-party payors. Rates under federal and state-funded programs are determined prospectively for each center and may be based on the acuity of the care and services provided. These rates may be based on a center's actual costs subject to program ceilings and other limitations or on established rates based on acuity and services provided as determined by the federal and state-funded programs. Amounts earned under federal and state programs with respect to nursing home patients are subject to review by the third-party payors which may result in retroactive adjustments. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from such reviews. Retroactive adjustments, if any, are recorded when objectively determinable, generally within three years of the close of a reimbursement year depending upon the timing of appeals and third-party settlement reviews or audits.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated utilizing current agings of accounts receivable, historical collections data and other factors. Management monitors these factors and determines the estimated provision for doubtful accounts. Historical bad debts have generally resulted from uncollectible private balances, some uncollectible coinsurance and deductibles and other factors. Receivables that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is assessed on a quarterly basis, with changes in estimated losses being recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period identified. Refer to Note 3, "Revenue Recognition and Receivables" for more information.
Lease Expense
As of December 31, 2018, the Company operates 57 nursing centers under operating leases, including 34 owned by Omega, 20 owned by Golden Living and three owned by other parties. The Company's operating leases generally require the Company to pay stated rent, subject to increases based on changes in the Consumer Price Index, a minimum percentage increase, or increases in the net revenues of the leased properties. The Company's Omega and Golden Living leases require the Company to pay certain scheduled rent increases. Such scheduled rent increases are recorded as additional lease expense on a straight-line basis recognized over the term of the related leases and the difference between the amounts recorded for rent expense as compared to rent payments as an accrued liability.
See Note 2, "Business Development and Other Significant Transactions" and Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies" for a discussion regarding the Company's Master Leases with Omega and Golden Living and the addition of certain leased centers.
Classification of Expenses
The Company classifies all expenses (except lease, interest, depreciation and amortization expenses) that are associated with its corporate and regional management support functions as general and administrative expenses. All other expenses (except lease, professional liability, interest, depreciation and amortization expenses) incurred by the Company at the center level are classified as operating expenses. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 are net of approximately $2.2 million received during 2017 related to a settlement of provider taxes appealed by the Company.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost or at fair value determined on the respective dates of acquisition for assets obtained in a business combination, with depreciation and amortization being provided over the shorter of the remaining lease term (where applicable) or the assets' estimated useful lives on the straight-line basis as follows:
        
Buildings and improvements
-
5 to 40 years
Leasehold improvements
-
2 to 10 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
-
2 to 15 years

Interest incurred during construction periods for qualifying expenditures is capitalized as part of the building cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and major betterments and improvements are capitalized.
The Company routinely evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including when significant adverse changes in the general economic conditions and significant deteriorations of the underlying undiscounted cash flows or fair values of the property indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. If circumstances suggest that the recorded amounts are not recoverable based upon estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the carrying values of such assets are reduced to fair value.
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Our cash on deposit with banks was subject to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") minimum insurance levels. Effective January 1, 2013, the coverage provided by the FDIC that had been unlimited under the Dodd-Frank Deposit Insurance Provision is limited to the legal maximum, which is generally $250,000 per ownership category.
Deferred Financing and Other Costs
The Company records deferred financing and lease costs for direct and incremental expenditures related to entering into or amending debt and lease agreements. These expenditures include lenders and attorneys fees. Financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. The amortization is reflected as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Deferred lease costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases. See Note 5, "Long-term Debt, Interest Rate Swap and Capitalized Lease Obligations" for further discussion.

Acquired Leasehold Interest
The Company has recorded an acquired leasehold interest intangible asset related to an acquisition completed during 2007. The intangible asset is accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") guidance on goodwill and other intangible assets, and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the acquired lease. As discussed in Note 2, "Business Developments and Other Significant Transactions," the Company entered into a new Master Lease agreement with Omega on October 1, 2018. The new Master Lease includes the seven centers to which the intangible asset relates. As such, the intangible asset is now being amortized over an adjusted remaining life, consistent with the term of the new Master Lease, which goes through September 30, 2030. Amortization expense of approximately $384 related to this intangible asset was recorded during each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The carrying value of the acquired leasehold interest intangible and the accumulated amortization are as follows:

The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of the acquired leasehold intangible in accordance with the FASB's guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Included in this evaluation is whether significant adverse changes in general economic conditions, and significant deteriorations of the underlying cash flows or fair values of the intangible asset, indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. The need to recognize an impairment charge is based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the asset compared to the carrying value of that asset. If recognition of an impairment charge is necessary, it is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset.
The expected amortization expense for the acquired leasehold interest intangible asset is as follows:

Self-Insurance
Self-insurance liabilities primarily represent the unfunded accrual for self-insured risks associated with general and professional liability claims, employee health insurance and workers' compensation. The Company's health insurance liability is based on known claims incurred and an estimate of incurred but unreported claims determined by an analysis of historical claims paid. The Company's workers' compensation liability relates primarily to periods of self insurance and consists of an estimate of the future costs to be incurred for the known claims.
Final determination of the Company's actual liability for incurred general and professional liability claims is a process that takes years. The Company evaluates the adequacy of this liability on a quarterly basis. Semi-annually, the Company retains a third-party actuarial firm to assist in the evaluation of this unfunded accrual. Since May 2012, Merlinos & Associates, Inc. (“Merlinos”) has assisted management in the preparation of the appropriate accrual for incurred but not reported general and professional liability claims based on data furnished by the Company. Merlinos primarily utilizes historical data regarding the frequency and cost of the Company's past claims over a multi-year period, industry data and information regarding the number of occupied beds to develop its estimates of the Company's ultimate professional liability cost for current periods.
On a quarterly basis, the Company obtains reports of asserted claims and lawsuits incurred. These reports, which are provided by the Company's insurers and a third party claims administrator, contain information relevant to the actual expense already incurred with each claim as well as the third-party administrator's estimate of the anticipated total cost of the claim. This information is reviewed by the Company quarterly and provided to the actuary semi-annually. Based on the Company's evaluation of the actual claim information obtained, the semi-annual estimates received from the third-party actuary, the amounts paid and committed for settlements of claims and on estimates regarding the number and cost of additional claims anticipated in the future, the reserve estimate for a particular period may be revised upward or downward on a quarterly basis. Any increase in the accrual has an unfavorable impact on results of operations in the period and any reduction in the accrual increases results of operations during the period.
All losses are projected on an undiscounted basis. The self-insurance liabilities include estimates of liability for incurred but not reported claims, estimates of liability for reported but unresolved claims, actual liabilities related to settlements, including settlements to be paid over time, and estimates of related legal costs incurred and expected to be incurred.
One of the key assumptions in the actuarial analysis is that historical losses provide an accurate forecast of future losses. Changes in legislation such as tort reform, changes in our financial condition, changes in our risk management practices and other factors may affect the severity and frequency of claims incurred in future periods as compared to historical claims.
The facts and circumstances of each claim vary significantly, and the amount of ultimate liability for an individual claim may vary due to many factors, including whether the case can be settled by agreement, the quality of legal representation, the individual jurisdiction in which the claim is pending, and the views of the particular judge or jury deciding the case.
Although the Company adjusts its unfunded accrual for professional and general liability claims on a quarterly basis and retains a third-party actuarial firm semi-annually to assist management in estimating the appropriate accrual, professional and general liability claims are inherently uncertain, and the liability associated with anticipated claims is very difficult to estimate. Professional liability cases have a long cycle from the date of an incident to the date a case is resolved, and final determination of the Company's actual liability for claims incurred in any given period is a process that takes years. As a result, the Company's actual liabilities may vary significantly from the unfunded accrual, and the amount of the accrual has and may continue to fluctuate by a material amount in any given period. Each change in the amount of this accrual will directly affect the Company's results of operations and financial position for the period in which the change in accrual is made.
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2018, the Tax Act reduced the corporate rate from 35% to 21%. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraph Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which allows the company to record provisional amounts during the period of enactment. Any change to the provisional amounts are recorded as an adjustment to the provision for income taxes in the period the amounts are determined. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the company recognized a provisional net deferred income tax expense of $5,476 to reflect the revaluation of the Company’s net deferred tax assets based on the U.S. federal tax rate of 21%. In accordance with SAB 118, the Tax Act related income tax effects that were initially reported as provisional estimates were refined as additional analysis was performed.
The Company follows the FASB's guidance on Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred income taxes are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are provided against any estimated non-realizable deferred tax assets where necessary.

Where the Company believes that a tax position is supportable for income tax purposes, the item is included in its income tax returns. Where treatment of a position is uncertain, liabilities are recorded based upon the Company’s evaluation of the “more likely than not” outcome considering the technical merits of the position. While the judgments and estimates made by the Company are based on management’s evaluation of the technical merits of a matter, historical experience and other assumptions that management believes are appropriate and reasonable under current circumstances, actual resolution of these matters may differ from recorded estimated amounts, resulting in charges or credits that could materially affect future financial statements. See Note 8, "Income Taxes" for additional information related to the provision for income taxes.
Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. In calculating fair value, a company must maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The Company's self-insurance liabilities are reported on an undiscounted basis as the timing of estimated settlements cannot be determined.
The Company follows the FASB's guidance on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which provides rules for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities as well as a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop the measurements. It applies whenever other guidance requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
A summary of the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels is described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
As further discussed in Note 5, "Long-term Debt, Interest Rate Swap and Capitalized Lease Obligations", in conjunction with the debt agreements entered into in February 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a member of the bank syndicate as the counterparty. The applicable guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in a company's balance sheets.
As the Company's interest rate swap, a cash flow hedge, is not traded on a market exchange, the fair value is determined using a valuation model based on a discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap agreement and uses observable market-based inputs, including estimated future LIBOR interest rates. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap is the net difference in the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates and are observable inputs available to a market participant. The interest rate swap valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The debt balances as presented in the consolidated balance sheets approximate the fair value of the respective instruments as the debt is at a variable rate, the estimates of which are considered Level 2 fair value calculations within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents by level, within the fair value hierarchy, assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

The change in fair value of the Company's cash flow hedge is detailed in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Net Loss per Common Share
The Company follows the FASB's guidance on Earnings Per Share for the financial reporting of net loss per common share. Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and restricted shares and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares, excluding restricted shares, outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. See Note 7, "Net Loss per Common Share" for additional disclosures about the Company's Net Loss per Common Share.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows the FASB's guidance on Stock Compensation to account for share-based payments granted to team members and recorded non-cash stock based compensation expense of $1,127, $1,027 and $1,012 during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Such amounts are included as components of general and administrative expense or operating expense based upon the classification of cash compensation paid to the related employees. See Note 6, "Shareholders' Equity, Stock Plans and Preferred Stock" for additional disclosures about the Company's stock based compensation plans.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of other comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting method that includes disclosure of financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). The Company has chosen to present the components of other comprehensive income (loss) in a separate statement of comprehensive income (loss). Currently, the Company's other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the change in fair value of the Company's interest rate swap transaction accounted for as a cash flow hedge.
Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which outlines a single comprehensive model for recognizing revenue and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance, including guidance specific to the healthcare industry. For public companies, Topic 606 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the requirements of this standard effective January 1, 2018. The Company elected to apply the modified retrospective approach with the cumulative transition effect recognized in beginning retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The impact of the implementation to the consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the adoption is not material. See Note 3, "Revenue Recognition and Receivables" for a discussion regarding revenue recognition under the new standard.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU was issued as part of the FASB Simplification Initiative and involves several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). The ASU provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which required the Company to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using a retrospective approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires that the Statement of Cash Flows explain the changes during the period of cash and cash equivalents inclusive of amounts categorized as Restricted Cash. 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 standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which required the Company to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The adoption is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted in certain circumstances. The Company will evaluate future acquisitions and dispositions under this guidance, which may result in future acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The amended standard specifies the modification accounting applicable to any entity which changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The new guidance is effective for all entities after December 15, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB No. 118"), which allowed SEC registrants to record provisional amounts in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company recognized the estimated income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in its 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with SAB No. 118.
Accounting Standards Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted by the Company
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard 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. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements, which allows lessees and lessors to recognize and measure existing leases at the beginning of the period of adoption without modifying the comparative period financial statements (which therefore will remain under prior GAAP, Topic 840, Leases). The Company will adopt the requirements of this standard effective January 1, 2019. The Company elected to use the optional expedient to recognize existing leases in the period of adoption, January 1, 2019, rather than the earliest period presented. For periods presented under Topic 842, extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures will be required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company has organized an implementation group of cross-functional departmental management to ensure the completeness of the lease information (specifically for new contracts entered into after the adoption date), analyze the appropriate classification of leases under the new standard, and develop new processes to execute, approve and classify new leases on an ongoing basis. The Company has also implemented software tools and processes to maintain lease information critical to applying the standard, including implemented changes to the systems, related processes and controls around leases. The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients upon transition, which includes retaining the lease classification for any leases that exist prior to adoption of the standard. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the appropriate incremental borrowing rate under Topic 842. The implementation of this standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, primarily from nursing center operating leases.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Loses on Financial Instruments. This update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. This update requires that financial statement assets measured at an amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. This standard is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact from the adoption of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements and related notes.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which is intended to simplify and amend the application of hedge accounting to more clearly portray the economics of an entity’s risk management strategies in its financial statements. The new guidance will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The new guidance also changes how companies assess effectiveness and amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument will be required to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The new guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The new guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal year before the effective date. The implementation is complete and the Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019. The standard has an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new guidance allows entities the option to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) to retained earnings. The new guidance allows the option to apply the guidance retrospectively or in the period of adoption. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which modifies the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees to largely align it with the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 805): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The ASU amends ASC 815 to add the OIS rate based on the SOFR as a fifth US benchmark interest rate. The Company is evaluating the effect of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
