New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] |
Note 10. Accounting PronouncementsIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 -02, Leases , which requires lessees to present right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has begun evaluating the new lease standard, including the review and implementation of the necessary changes to our existing processes and systems that will be required to implement this new standard effective with the Company’s fiscal year beginning
October 1, 2019. While we are unable to quantify the impact at this time, it is expected the adoption of this standard will lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheets. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017 -04 which offers amended guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements. |
