2.	Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued updated guidance regarding leases, requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but will be updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance by providing an entity with an additional and optional transition method to adopt the new lease guidance. The modified retrospective transition approach requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented and the optional transition method permits an entity to apply the guidance at the adoption date. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company.

In June 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance regarding share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance also specifies that the updated guidance on stock compensation applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of the revenue guidance. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
