NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | Note 3 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The ASU requires entities to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We early adopted this guidance as of December 1, 2016. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We reclassified $417 thousand of noncurrent deferred tax liability from noncurrent liability to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets as of November 30, 2016 to conform to current financial statement presentation. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This ASU does not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. This ASU eliminates from GAAP the requirement to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market under the previous requirement could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. Entities within scope of this update will now be required to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new standard, lessees will be required to recognize lease assets and liabilities for all leases, with certain exceptions, on their balance sheets. Public business entities are required to adopt the standard for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
