NOTE 16 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

From January 1, 2018 we have applied Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, ASC Topic 715: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. ASU 2017-07 requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line items in which they report compensation cost. Companies are now required to present all other components of net benefit cost outside operating income, if this subtotal is presented. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adopting the new standard on January 1, 2018 has resulted in a restatement of the prior period comparatives with a reduction to operating income for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2017 of $1.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively and a corresponding increase in other non-operating income.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Revision to Lease Accounting, ASC Topic 842 which amends ASC Topic 840, Leases. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The new 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, to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard, ASU 2016-02. We are currently evaluating the new standard, including which transitional method to adopt and to determine how it will affect our financial reporting. Due to the number of leases the Company has, we believe the standard will increase our assets and liabilities by a material amount on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not believe adoption of the standard will have a significant impact on its consolidated statements of income, equity and cash flows.
