Recent Accounting Developments
On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted several updates to accounting standards as follows:
•
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02: Consolidation”);
•
ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs;
•
ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent); and
•
ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.
The adoption of these updates did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended. The new standard provides a comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The standard is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Fair Value: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.  Under the new standard, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings.  The standard is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from most operating leases on the statement of financial position. The standard is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards and classification in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting which simplifies the equity method of accounting by eliminating the need to apply the equity method retroactively to an investment that subsequently qualifies for such accounting treatment. The standard is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
