New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] |
| 9. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following is a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements that impact the accounting and reporting practices of the Company: In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update provides a five-step revenue recognition model for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers (unless the contracts are included in the scope of other standards). The guidance requires an entity to recognize the revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. For public entities, the guidance was originally effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. However, with the issuance of ASU No. 2015-14 in August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year for all entities, making the amendments effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Companies have the option to apply ASU No. 2014-09 as of the original effective date. Management is evaluating the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The guidance eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to retrospectively account for measurement-period adjustments. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, and the effect of the adjustments on the income statement must be calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition, the update requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. For public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date, with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
