15.Recently Issued Accounting Guidance:  

Accounting standards adopted in 2019:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 and subsequent amendments, collectively known as ASC 842, Leases. ASC 842 requires recognition of operating leases as lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and requires the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The Company elected to adopt ASC 842 by applying the modified transition method and, in addition, elected to use the effective date of January 1, 2019 as the initial date of application. We elected to apply all relevant practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new lease standard with the exception of the practical expedient allowing the use of hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected an accounting policy to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and to recognize those lease payments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases, except for warehouse leases.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease ROU assets of $12,936 and operating lease liabilities of $12,936 on the effective date as of January 1, 2019. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated statement of operations or statement of cash flows. The accounting for finance leases under ASC 842 remained substantially unchanged from previous accounting guidance and are not material. See Note 2 for the disclosures required by ASC 842 and accounting policy information for leases.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (ASC 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  On December 22, 2017, the U.S federal government signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). The current generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates with the effect included in income from continuing operations in the reporting period that includes the enactment date. That guidance is applicable even in situations where the related income tax effects of items in accumulated other comprehensive income were originally recognized in other comprehensive income (rather than in income from continuing operations). The standard allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Reform Act, eliminating the stranded tax effects. The update does not affect the requirement that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. The Company adopted this update and there has been no impact.  

In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The GILTI provisions imposed a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The Company has considered options regarding the accounting treatment for any potential GILTI inclusions and has elected to treat such inclusions as period costs.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). The FASB eliminated the Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under this update, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount that the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 as of January 1, 2019. The impact of the new standard will be dependent of the facts and circumstances of future individual impairments but did not have any immediate impact.

Accounting standards not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model, which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. We plan to adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020 with the cumulative effect of adoption recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings and have not determined the impact on our operating results.
