3.	Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Year

In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on stock compensation which is intended to simplify 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 of applicable income tax consequences on the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires recognition of excess tax benefits and shortfalls (resulting from an increase or decrease in the fair value of an award from grant date to the vesting date) in the provision for income taxes as a discrete item in the quarterly period in which they occur. In addition, these amounts will be classified as an operating activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows instead of as a financing activity. The amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax shortfalls in the income statement must be applied prospectively (See Note 10), and entities may elect to apply the amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective or retrospective transition method. In May 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance on stock compensation which is intended to clarify when changes to the terms and conditions to a share-based payment transaction requires modification accounting.

The company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. As required by the standard, the Company recognized prospectively any excess tax benefits in the consolidated statements of net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and applied the amendments relating to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using the prospective method. For the first nine months ended October 1, 2016, the Company recorded $588 of excess tax benefits in equity. For the first nine months ended October 1, 2016, the Company paid taxes of $1,978 related to net share settlement of equity awards. As permitted under the guidance, the Company will continue to account for forfeitures in compensation cost by estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest.

In August 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on the statement of cash flows presentation of certain transactions where diversity in practice exists. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017, which had no impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance to assist Companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The Company early adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
