Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Accounting Standards Updates Adopted In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue Recognition, replacing guidance previously codified in Subtopic 605-10 Revenue Recognition-Overall. The new ASU establishes a five step principles-based framework in an effort to significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective transition approach. The Company performed an assessment of the impact of implementation of ASU No. 2014-09, and concluded it does not change the timing of revenue recognition or amounts of revenue recognized compared to how it recognized revenue under previous policies. Revenues involve a very small number of types of contracts and customers. In addition, revenue contracts do not involve multiple types of performance obligations. Concentrate revenues are generally recognized at the time of shipment. Revenues from doré and metals from dore’ are recognized, and the transaction price is known, at the time the metals sold are delivered to the customer. Concentrate sales involve variable consideration as they are subject to changes in metals prices between the time of shipment and their final settlement. However, the Company is able to reasonably estimate the transaction price for the concentrate sales at the time of shipment using forward prices for the month of settlement, and values are adjusted each period until final settlement. Also, it is unlikely a significant reversal of revenue for any one concentrate lot will occur. Adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 involves additional disclosures, where applicable, concerning (i) contracts with customers, (ii) significant judgments and changes in judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the transaction price, and (iii) assets recognized for costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. See Note 13 for information on our sales of products. Accounting Standards Updates Adopted, continued In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update provides guidance on classification of cash receipts and payments related to eight specific issues. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2018, and there were no material impacts on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2018, and there were no material impacts on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2018. We will apply the applicable provisions of the update to any future acquisitions. Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The update modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Upon implementation of the new guidance, we will be required to recognize a liability and right-of-use asset for our operating leases. We have elected the transition option to apply the new guidance at the effective date without adjusting comparative periods presented. We have no capital leases at December 31, 2018. Our operating leases, which will be impacted upon adoption, are not significant and we anticipate no material impact upon adoption on January 1, 2019.
