NOTE 2 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB), issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

 

  •   A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and

 

  •   A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance.

Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Corporation will examine ASU 2016-02 to determine its effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory, which requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.

 

Public business entities should apply ASU No. 2015-11 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation will examine this pronouncement to determine its effect on financial condition and results of operations.

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Corporation will evaluate how the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will impact its footnote disclosures.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 66). The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For a public entity, this guidance is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU No. 2014-09, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The Corporation will evaluate how the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact its financial position and result of operations.
