In the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance creating Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section . The new section will replace Section “Revenue Recognition” and creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. The section is intended to conform revenue accounting principles with a concurrently issued International Financial Reporting Standards with previously differing treatment between United States practice and those of much of the rest of the world, as well as to enhance disclosures related to disaggregated revenue information. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after and interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company has identified major revenue streams, performed an analysis of a sample of contracts to evaluate the impact of the standard, and begun drafting its accounting policies and evaluating the new disclosure requirements. The updated guidance permits methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The updated guidance requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required for customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company anticipates there will be expanded financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the updated guidance and has decided that it would use the cumulative catch-up transition method should the adoption of this standard require any restatement.  The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.
