Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company which would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”) on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The new guidance restricts the presentation of discontinued operations to business circumstances when the disposal of business operations represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results and enhances the related disclosure requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2015, as required. There was no material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements resulting from the adoption.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.

 

In July 2015, the FASB made a decision to defer the effective date of the new standard for one year and permit early adoption as of the original effective date.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2018.

 

Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.     The FASB recently issued ASU 2015-111  as part of its simplification initiative. The amendments require inventory within the scope of the ASU to be measured using the lower of cost and net realizable value. The changes apply to all types of inventory, except those measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The new standard takes effect in 2017 for calendar year-end entities.  .  The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
