Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business. Cogentix Medical, Inc., headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, with additional operations in New York, Massachusetts, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, is a global medical device company. We design, develop, manufacture and market products for flexible endoscopy with our unique PrimeSight™ product lines featuring a streamlined visualization system and proprietary sterile disposable microbial barrier providing users with efficient and cost-effective endoscope turnover while enhancing patient safety. We also commercialize the Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System, an FDA-cleared device that delivers percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for the office-based treatment of overactive bladder (OAB). OAB is a chronic condition that affects approximately 42 million U.S. adults. The symptoms include urinary urgency, frequency and urge incontinence. We also offer Macroplastique®, an injectable urethral bulking agent for the treatment of adult female stress urinary incontinence primarily due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Outside the U.S., the Company markets additional bulking agents: PTQ ® ® Change in Control. A change in control of the Company occurred on November 3, 2016 as a result of the conversion of the Company’s convertible debt – related party into equity (see Note 3) and the issuance of common shares to Accelmed Growth Partners (see Note 5). The convertible debt – related party was owed to Lewis Pell, a member of our board of directors. As a result of the transactions described above, Mr. Pell and Accelmed owned or controlled approximately 33% and 27%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of the Company immediately subsequent to these transactions being consummated. Accelmed and Mr. Pell entered into a voting agreement pursuant to which Mr. Pell and Accelmed have agreed to vote their shares of the Company’s common stock for the other party’s nominees to the board of directors. Further, the securities purchase agreement with Accelmed provides it with numerous protective provisions, including prohibiting the Company, without the prior approval of the Accelmed directors, from engaging in any merger, consolidation, transfer or conversion involving the Company, incurring any new indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000, and changing the size of the Board of Directors. The Company has elected not to apply pushdown accounting adjustments to the Company’s consolidated financial statements related to the change in control as allowed by Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-17. Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cogentix Medical, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation. We have reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation. Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 (Topic 605, Revenue Recognition . 1. persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; 2. delivery has occurred or services were rendered; 3. the fee is fixed and determinable; and 4. collectability is reasonably assured We recognize revenue when title passes to the customer, generally upon shipment of our products F.O.B. shipping point. Revenue for service repairs of equipment is recognized after service has been completed, and service contract revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. We review our service contracts to determine if multiple element arrangements exist. A multiple element arrangement includes the sale of endoscopes and service contracts. We allocate revenue to all elements based on their stand-alone selling prices by applying the relative stand-alone selling price methodology. Revenue allocated to the endoscopes in these arrangements is recognized upon shipment. Service contract revenue is deferred and represents the allocated selling price of any deliverables of the arrangement for which the customer has provided consideration, but the revenue recognition requirements have not been satisfied. We include shipping and handling charges billed to customers in net sales, and include related costs incurred by us in cost of goods sold. Typically, our agreements contain no customer acceptance provisions or clauses. We sell our products to end users and to distributors. Payment terms range from prepayment to 120 days. Sales to distributors are not contingent on the distributor selling the product to end users. Customers do not have the right to return products except for warranty claims. We offer customary product warranties. We present our sales in our statement of operations net of taxes, such as sales, use, value-added and certain excise taxes, collected from the customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant accounting policies and estimates include revenue recognition, short- and long-term investments, accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, foreign currency translation/transactions, purchase price allocations on acquisition, the determination of recoverability of long-lived assets and liabilities and intangible assets, share-based compensation, defined benefit pension plans, and income taxes. Advertising Expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs incurred were approximately $360,000 and $363,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Research and Development Expenses. Costs of research, new product development, and product redesign are charged to expense as incurred. Share-Based Compensation. We account for share-based compensation costs under ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. We recognize the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options and restricted shares, in our consolidated financial statements. We measure that cost based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. We account for forfeitures in the period in which they occur. We also recognize certain tax benefits or tax shortfalls upon a restricted-stock award vesting or stock options exercise relative to the deferred tax asset position established in the provision for income taxes line in the consolidated statement of operations. Segment Reporting. We operate in three markets – urology/gynecology, airway management, and industrial. Our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as our chief operating decision-maker and all significant operating decisions including the allocation of resources are based upon the analysis of the Company as three segments. This is a change from prior periods in which we reported only one segment as discrete financial information was not available for each market individually. Defined Benefit Pension Plans. We have a liability attributed to defined benefit pension plans we offered to certain former and current employees of our subsidiaries in the UK and The Netherlands. The liability is dependent upon numerous factors, assumptions and estimates, and the continued benefit costs we incur may be significantly affected by changes in key actuarial assumptions such as the discount rate, mortality, compensation rates, or retirement dates used to determine the projected benefit obligation. Additionally, changes made to the provisions of the plans may impact current and future benefit costs. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits”, changes in benefit obligations associated with these factors may not be immediately recognized as costs in the statement of operations, but are recognized in future years over the expected average future service of the active employees or the average remaining life expectancies of inactive employees. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Estimates of fair value for financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The framework prioritizes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three broad levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value under the fair value hierarchy: · Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. · Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. · Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management's estimates of market participant assumptions. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one of the different levels described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The following tables show our cash and available-for-sale securities’ adjusted cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value by significant investment category recorded as cash and cash equivalents or short- or long-term investments as of December 31, 2017 and 2016: December 31, 2017 Adjusted Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value Cash and Cash Equivalents Short-Term Investments Long-Term Investments Cash $ 4,318,229 $ - $ - $ 4,318,229 $ 4,318,229 $ - $ - Level 1: Money market funds 16,591,376 - - 16,591,376 16,591,376 - - Subtotal 16,591,376 - - 16,591,376 16,591,376 - - Level 2: Certificates of deposit 1,440,000 - (1,783 ) 1,438,217 - 1,438,217 - Commercial paper 1,198,574 - (362 ) 1,198,212 - 1,198,212 - Corporate notes/bonds 3,612,704 - (1,868 ) 3,610,836 - 3,610,836 - U.S. government agencies - - - - - - - Subtotal 6,251,278 - (4,013 ) 6,247,265 - 6,247,265 - Total $ 27,160,883 $ - $ (4,013 ) $ 27,156,870 $ 20,909,605 $ 6,247,265 $ - December 31, 2016 Adjusted Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value Cash and Cash Equivalents Short-Term Investments Long-Term Investments Cash $ 3,773,790 $ - $ - $ 3,773,790 $ 3,773,790 $ - $ - Level 1: Money market funds 3,197,958 - - 3,197,958 3,197,958 - - Subtotal 3,197,958 - - 3,197,958 3,197,958 - - Level 2: Certificates of deposit 2,160,010 2,285 - 2,162,295 - 720,031 1,442,264 Commercial paper 5,984,110 - (4,100 ) 5,980,010 2,397,876 3,582,134 - Corporate notes/bonds 9,688,957 - (13,885 ) 9,675,072 - 7,273,992 2,401,080 U.S. government agencies 3,503,208 - (5,648 ) 3,497,560 - 1,996,900 1,500,660 Subtotal 21,336,285 2,285 (23,633 ) 21,314,937 2,397,876 13,573,057 5,344,004 Total $ 28,308,034 $ 2,285 $ (23,633 ) $ 28,286,685 $ 9,369,624 $ 13,573,057 $ 5,344,004 Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities. We consider all cash on-hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. We classify marketable securities having original maturities of more than three months when purchased and remaining maturities of one year or less as short-term investments and marketable securities with remaining maturities of more than one year as long-term investments. We further classify marketable securities as available-for-sale. We have not designated any of our marketable securities as trading securities or as held to maturity. We may sell any of our marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipation of credit deterioration and duration management. At December 31, 2017, we did not have any long-term securities. We consider the declines in market value of our marketable securities investment portfolio to be temporary in nature. We typically invest in highly-rated securities, and our investment policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid money market funds and debt securities with original maturities of three months or less totaling $20.1 million and $9.4 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Money market funds present negligible risk of changes in value due to changes in interest rates, and their cost approximates their fair market value. We maintain cash in bank accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash and cash equivalents held in foreign bank accounts totaled $879,000 and $507,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively. Equity Investment. ASC 323, "Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures," establishes accounting guidelines for an equity investment in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have a controlling interest. In this situation, the equity method should be applied to an investment. Significant influence is generally considered to exist when the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of an entity between 20% and 50%, and other factors, such as representation on the Board of Directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Accounts Receivable. We grant credit to our customers in the normal course of business and, generally, do not require collateral or any other security to support amounts due. If necessary, we have an outside party assist us with performing credit and reference checks and establishing credit limits for the customer. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable relates to certain domestic and international customers to whom we make substantial sales. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and, when appropriate, we obtain advance payments for our international sales. As a consequence, we believe that our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Historically we have not experienced any significant credit losses related to any individual customer or group of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment term, are considered past due. We carry our accounts receivable at the original invoice amount less an estimated allowance for doubtful receivables based on a periodic review of all outstanding amounts. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the customer’s financial health, and both historical and expected credit loss experience. We write off our accounts receivable when we deem them uncollectible. We record recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off when received. We are not always able to timely anticipate changes in the financial condition of our customers and if circumstances related to these customers deteriorate, our estimates of the recoverability of accounts receivable could be materially affected and we may be required to record additional allowances. Alternatively, if more allowances are provided than are ultimately required, we may reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods based on the actual collection experience. Historically, the accounts receivable balances we have written off have generally been within our expectations. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $87,000 and $34,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Inventories. We value inventory at net realizable value the slow moving and obsolete inventories based upon current and expected future product sales. Inventories consist of approximately the following: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Raw materials $ 3,449,000 $ 4,483,000 Work-in-process 322,000 462,000 Finished goods 3,406,000 2,290,000 $ 7,177,000 $ 7,235,000 Property, Plant and Equipment. We carry property, plant and equipment, including leasehold improvements, at cost, less accumulated depreciation or fair value if acquired in a business combination, which consists of approximately the following balances: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Land $ 147,000 $ 129,000 Building 674,000 588,000 Leasehold improvements 1,248,000 1,240,000 Internal use software 829,000 821,000 Equipment 4,155,000 3,203,000 $ 7,053,000 $ 5,981,000 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (4,626,000 ) (3,866,000 ) $ 2,427,000 $ 2,115,000 We provide for depreciation using the straight-line method over useful lives of three to seven years for equipment and 40 years for the building. Certain products used as sales demonstration and service loaner equipment are transferred from inventory to machinery and equipment and are depreciated over three years. We charge maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred. We capitalize improvements and amortize them over the shorter of their estimated useful service lives or the remaining lease term. We recognized depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $777,000 and $778,000 in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Goodwill. Goodwill results from the Merger and from the acquisition of Genesis (as described in Note 4) and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Annually as of November 30 or if conditions indicate an additional review is necessary, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and if it is necessary to perform the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company performs the quantitative test, it compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to an estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value to identify potential impairment. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Where available, and as appropriate, comparable market multiples are also used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow models. In determining the estimated future cash flow, the Company considers and applies certain estimates and judgments, including current and projected future levels of income based on management’s plans, business trends, prospects and market and economic conditions and market-participant considerations. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to determine the amount of the potential goodwill impairment. If impaired, goodwill is written down to its estimated implied fair value. We reassessed the impairment of Goodwill as of December 31, 2017 due to the change in our segment determination as described in Note 10. All of our Goodwill is associated with the medical segment and there was no impairment as of December 31, 2017. There was no goodwill impairment loss for the years ended December 31, 2017 or 2016. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets. We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or business circumstances indicate that we may not recover the carrying amount of an asset. We measure recoverability of assets held and used from a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows we expect to generate by the asset. If we consider such assets impaired, we measure the impairment recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Product Warranty. We warrant our products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of twelve months after the date of sale. Under the terms of these warranties, we repair or replace products we deem defective due to material or workmanship. The following table summarizes approximate changes in our warranty reserve: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Warranty reserve at beginning of period $ 127,000 $ 146,000 Warranties accrued during the period 167,000 77,000 Warranties settled during the period (141,000 ) (96,000 ) Warranty reserve at end of period $ 153,000 $ 127,000 Other Current Liabilities. Other current liabilities consist of approximately the following: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Sales tax and VAT payable $ 579,000 $ 328,000 Note payable 214,000 - Accrued legal and accounting fees 21,000 101,000 Accrued vendor payables 142,000 190,000 Other accrued expenses 405,000 219,000 $ 1,361,000 $ 838,000 Foreign Currency Translation. We translate all assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries using period-end exchange rates. We translate statements of operations items using average exchange rates for the period. We record the resulting translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. We recognize foreign currency transaction gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations, including unrealized gains and losses on short-term intercompany obligations using period-end exchange rates. We recognize foreign currency transaction gains and losses primarily as a result of fluctuations in currency rates between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the Euro and British pound (functional currencies of our subsidiaries), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated intercompany obligations between us and our foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany balances are revolving in nature and we do not deem any portion of them to be long-term. We recognized foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of approximately $ 48,000 and $(26,000) in the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recorded based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, when we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for financial statement recognition of tax positions we take or expect to take in a tax return. It is management’s responsibility to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a taxing authority will sustain a tax position upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Under our accounting policies we recognize interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share. We calculate basic net loss per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common shares outstanding, excluding outstanding shares contingently subject to forfeiture. For calculating diluted net loss per common share amounts, we add additional shares to the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares, if dilutive. Because we have had net losses, the following options and warrants outstanding and unvested restricted stock to purchase shares of our common stock were excluded from diluted net loss per common share because of their anti-dilutive effect, and therefore, basic net loss per common share equals dilutive net loss per common share: Number of options, warrants and unvested restricted stock Range of exercise prices Years ended: Twelve months December 31, 2017 3,022,582 $ 0.88 - $24.40 Twelve months December 31, 2016 2,674,000 $ 0.88 - $24.40 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This ASU is in response to diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows and provides guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues. It will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern". Under U.S. GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity's liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity's liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30 of this ASU, "Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting". Even when an entity's liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this ASU should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company has evaluated the going concern considerations in this ASU. However, management does not believe that the Company has met conditions which would subject the Company's financial statements to additional disclosure. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted. In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within these fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU is intended to provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions on a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. This new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs: Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” related to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The amendments shorten the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB, issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to the carrying value of the goodwill. The standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This ASU is in response to diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows and provides guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues. It will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, “Leases”, under which lessees will recognize most leases on-balance sheet. This will generally increase reported assets and liabilities. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-2 mandates a modified retrospective transition method for all entities. While the Company is still evaluating the timing and impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, it anticipates that the adoption could result in an increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on its consolidated balance sheet. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, as amended by ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of Effective Date”, which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 sets forth a new revenue recognition model that requires identifying the contract, identifying the performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim reporting periods within that reporting per |
