– SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
 
Compensation—Stock Compensation
 
In
May 2017,
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) guidance was issued to provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year and interim periods beginning
December 1, 2018.
Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments will be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Restricted Cash
 
In
November 2016,
ASC guidance was issued to require the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period of the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and discuss the nature of the restrictions. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year and interim periods beginning
December 1, 2018.
Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
 
In
August 2016,
ASC guidance was issued to amend the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year and interim periods beginning
December 1, 2018.
Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Compensation—Stock Compensation
 
In
March 2016,
ASC guidance was issued to amend employee share-based payment accounting. The new guidance amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year and interim periods beginning
December 1, 2017.
Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. If adopted in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. All of the amendments must be adopted in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Leases
 
In
February 2016,
ASC guidance was issued to amend lease accounting guidance. The new guidance amends the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases and amends disclosure requirements associated with leasing arrangements. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning
December 1, 2019.
Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
 
In
January 2016,
ASC guidance was issued to amend the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The new guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning
December 1, 2018.
Early adoption for most of the provisions is
not
allowed. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
