New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] |
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] | 8. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740)— Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU requires unrecognized tax benefits, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except when such a loss or credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date, in which case the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)— Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of an Entity. This ASU changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations where only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures that will provide financial statement users with more information about the discontinued operations assets, liabilities, income, expenses and pre-tax income. The amendments in this ASU may be early adopted, but only for disposals (or classifications held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The amendments in the ASU should be applied prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the previous revenue recognition guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, and requires that an entity use the defined five step process to recognize revenue. The ASU also requires additional disclosures and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early implementation is not permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will have the option of retrospectively applying the guidance to each reporting period presented with certain practical expedients or retrospectively reporting the cumulative effect of the initially applying the ASU at the date of initial application with additional disclosure requirements. The Company has not yet determined the effect this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation – Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition under the existing guidance of ASC Topic 718, as it relates to vesting of such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award, and compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments can be applied prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance. The ASU will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
