NOTE K – RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement (Topic 220), Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” which gives the entity the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effect resulting the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”) related items that the FASB refers to as having been stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”).  The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 effective January 1, 2019 and did not elect the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects resulting from the Tax Act that are stranded in OCI.  The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).”  The amendments in this update require the recognition of assets and liabilities arising from lease transactions on the balance sheet and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements.  Accordingly, a lessee will recognize a lease asset for its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability for the corresponding lease obligation for leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. Both the asset and liability will initially be measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Subsequent measurement, including the presentation of expenses and cash flows, will depend on the classification of the lease as either a finance or an operating lease.  Initial costs directly attributable to negotiating and arranging the lease will be included in the asset. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize an asset and corresponding liability. The lessee is also required to provide additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures are intended to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements and provide additional information about the nature of an organization’s leasing activities.  

This ASU was applied using a modified retrospective adoption method with the option of applying the guidance either retrospectively to each prior comparative reporting period presented or retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption, effective January 1, 2019.  The Company applied the transitional package of practical expedients allowed by the standard to not reassess the identification, classification and initial direct costs of leases commencing before this ASU's effective date, however, the Company did not elect the hindsight transitional practical expedient. The Company also applied the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components to new leases as well as existing leases through transition. The Company also elected the practical expedient allowed under “Leases (Topic 842)” to exclude leases with a term of twelve months or less form the calculation of the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.  

In July of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements to ASC 842,” which includes an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASC 842 as the initial application of transition.  The amendments in Topic 842 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.  

The Company has finalized its policy elections, the discount rate used, data and business processes and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard.  The adoption of this ASU resulted in recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding current and long-term lease obligations, on a discounted basis, of its lease obligations of $10.4 million on the Company’s balance sheet.  Refer to Note Q “Leases” for additional details regarding the Company’s leases.  The adoption of ASU 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or debt covenants.
