Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 superseded the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. Historically the Company has had insignificant revenues.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” to require lessees to recognize all leases, with limited exceptions, on the balance sheet, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to current lease accounting. The ASU also eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842”, ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements,” and ASU No. 2018-20, “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period.

 

The Company has adopted each of the ASUs. Prior comparative periods were not required to be restated and the ASUs have not had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has adopted both of the ASUs on January 1, 2019. Prior comparative periods were not required to be restated and the ASUs have not had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
