Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Issued in February 2016, ASU 2016-02 will require organizations that lease assets (lessees) to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by the lease for all leases with a term of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee are not significantly changed under ASU 2016-02. There will continue to be differentiation between finance leases and operating leases. For finance leases, a lessee will be required to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; (ii) recognize interest on the lease liability separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of income; and (iii) classify repayments of the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability within operating activities on the statement of cash flows. For operating leases, a lessee will be required to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis; and (iii) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The accounting applied by the lessor in a lease transaction remains largely unchanged from previous U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (An Amendment of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification).” Issued in January 2016, ASU 2016-01 is intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with improved decision-making information. The amendments to ASU 2016-01 include: (i) requiring equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in the consolidation of an investee, to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values; and (iii) clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The amendments of ASU 2016-01 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2015-05, “ Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement .” Issued in April 2015, ASU 2015-05 provides guidance on how customers should evaluate whether such arrangements contain a software license that should be accounted for separately. A customer that determines that a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license must account for the license consistently with the acquisition of other software licenses. If an arrangement does not contain a software license, then the customer is required to account for it as a service contract. As a result, all software licenses within the scope of this guidance will be accounted for consistently with other licenses of intangible assets. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Entities can elect to apply the guidance either retrospectively or prospectively to all cloud computing arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. Management is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2015-05 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; however, the adoption of ASU 2015-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2015-02, “ Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis .” Issued in February 2015, ASU 2015-02 is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability companies and certain entities involved in securitization transactions. ASU 2015-02 focuses on the consolidation criteria for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The new standard simplifies and improves current U.S. GAAP by: (i) placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest; (ii) reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a VIE; and (iii) changing consolidation conclusions for companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements; however, the adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 will add FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and will supersede revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and certain cost guidance in FASB ASC Topic 605-35, Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. ASU 2014-09 provides a framework for revenue recognition that replaces the existing industry and transaction-specific requirements under the existing standards. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to apply a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. The model specifies that revenue should be recognized when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue should be recognized either over time, in a manner that depicts the entity’s performance, or at a point in time, when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer. ASU 2014-09 provides that an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of non-financial assets that are not in a contract with a customer are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement in ASU 2014-09. The amendments of ASU 2014-09 may be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. If the transition method of application is elected, the entity should also provide the additional disclosures in reporting periods that include the date of initial application of (1) the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and (2) an explanation of the reasons for significant changes. ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)-Deferral of the Effective Date,” issued in August 2015, defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2015-14 provides that the amendments of ASU 2014-09 become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as well as the most appropriate method of application; however, regardless of the method of application selected, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2014-04 , “ Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ” Issued in January 2014, ASU 2014-04 clarifies when an “in substance repossession or foreclosure” occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, such that all or a portion of the loan should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU 2014-04 states that a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan upon either (i) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (ii) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. The amendments of ASU 2014-04 also require interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate properties that are in the process of foreclosure. The amendments to ASU 2014-04 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 and were applied using the prospective transition method as described in ASU 2014-04. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB voted to set the effective date of its planned guidance on the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. Under the CECL model, an entity would reserve for all contractual cash flows not expected to be collected from a recognized financial asset (or group of financial assets) or commitment to extend credit. The estimate of expected credit losses would consider all contractual cash flows over the life of the asset. The estimate would be developed based on historic loss experience for similar assets as well as management’s assessment of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. The FASB expects to publish a final ASU on credit losses in early 2016. The planned guidance will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this amendment will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
