Recently issued accounting pronouncements — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). 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. In addition, FASB subsequently issued several ASU’s that update or clarify the new rules. For a public entity, this guidance is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted.

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. Using this principle, a comprehensive framework was established for determining how much revenue to recognize and when it should be recognized. To be consistent with this core principle, an entity is required to apply the following five-step approach:

•

Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

•

Identify each performance obligation in the contract;

•

Determine the transaction price;

•

Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

•

Recognize revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied.

The Corporation’s revenue comes substantially from the sale of manufactured housing, modular housing and park models, along with freight billed to customers, parts sold and aftermarket services.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements — (continued) The Corporation is currently evaluating how the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact its financial position and result of operations by applying the five-step approach to each revenue stream. At this time, material changes resulting from this adoption are not anticipated with the modified retrospective method being utilized.

The Corporation, however, does expect to greatly increase the amount of required disclosures, including but not limited to:

•

Disaggregation of revenue in to categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors;

•

The opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers, if not otherwise separately presented or disclosed;

•

Revenue recognized in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period;

•

Information about performance obligations in contracts with customers; and

•

Judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers, including the timing of satisfaction of performance obligation, and the transaction price and the amounts allocation to performance obligations.
