New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Adopted
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09,
Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
and all related amendments, which were together codified into ASC 606. This guidance was adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company did not restate prior period information for the effects of the new standard, nor did the Company adjust the opening balance of retained earnings to account for the implementation of the new requirements of this standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on the results of operations in future periods. See Note 4.
 
Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-02, 
Leases
 (as amended by ASU 2018-11). The core principle is that a lessee shall recognize a lease liability in its statement of financial position for the present value of all future lease payments. A lessee would also recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Under a new transition method, a reporting entity will apply the new lease requirements at the effective date and continue to report comparative periods presented in the financial statements in the period of adoption under current GAAP. Upon adoption in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for the present value of future minimum rental payments for its portfolio of operating leases. The Company does not expect a material impact to its results of operations or cash flows related to the adoption of this standard.
