Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Organization and Nature of Business Gaming Partners International Corporation (GPIC or the Company) is headquartered in North Las Vegas, Nevada. Our business activities include the manufacture and sale of casino currencies, playing cards, table accessories, table layouts, dice, gaming furniture, roulette wheels, and RFID readers and software, all of which are used with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps, and roulette. We have three operating subsidiaries: Gaming Partners International USA, Inc. (GPI USA) (including GPI Mexicana S.A. de C.V. (GPI Mexicana), our maquiladora manufacturing operation in Mexico, and GPI USA Blue Springs, our manufacturing facility in Missouri); Gaming Partners International SAS (GPI SAS); and Gaming Partners International Asia Limited (GPI Asia). Our subsidiaries have the following distribution and product focus: • GPI USA sells in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and Latin America. GPI USA sells our full product line, with most of the products manufactured in either San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico, or Blue Springs, Missouri. The remainder is either manufactured in France or purchased from United States vendors. We warehouse inventory in San Luis, Arizona; Blue Springs, Missouri; and North Las Vegas, Nevada. We have sales offices in North Las Vegas, Nevada; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Gulfport, Mississippi; and Blue Springs, Missouri. • GPI SAS sells primarily in Europe and Africa out of its office in Beaune, France. GPI SAS predominantly sells casino currencies, including both American-style, known as chips, and European-style, known as plaques and jetons. Most of the products sold by GPI SAS are manufactured in France, with the remainder manufactured in Mexico. • GPI Asia, located in Macau S.A.R., China, distributes our full product line in the Asia-Pacific region. GPI Asia also sells table layouts that it manufactures in Macau S.A.R. We are one of the gaming industry’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of casino table game equipment. We custom manufacture and supply casino currencies, playing cards, table layouts, gaming furniture, table accessories, dice, roulette wheels, and RFID readers and software, all of which are used with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps, and roulette. Our products fall into two categories – non-consumable and consumable. Non-consumable products consist of casino currencies, gaming furniture, and RFID solutions. These products typically have a useful life of several years or longer. Sales of non-consumables are typically driven by casino openings, expansions, and rebrandings, as well as replacements in the normal course of business. Consumable products consist of playing cards, table accessories, table layouts, and dice. These products each have a useful life that ranges from several hours for playing cards and dice to several months for layouts. Casinos tend to buy these products annually if not more frequently. Significant Accounting Policies The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GPIC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GPI USA, GPI SAS, GPI Asia, and GPI Mexicana. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Cash and Cash Equivalents. 250,000 Fair Value of Financial Instruments . . We account for our investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale and, as such, they are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are, instead, reported within accumulated other comprehensive loss. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and for casino currency and most significant orders, such as those orders for casino openings, generally require a deposit prior to commencing work on a customer order. These customer deposits are classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to state trade receivables at their estimated realizable value. This allowance applies to all customers and is estimated based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, economic conditions and trends, significant one-time events, and historical experience. Changes are made to the allowance based on our awareness of a particular customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. Receivables are written-off when management determines that collectability is remote. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using a weighted-average method for GPI SAS and a first-in, first-out method for GPI USA and GPI Asia. Market value is determined by comparing inventory item carrying values to estimates of net realizable value. The analysis of net realizable value includes reviewing overall inventory levels, historical and projected sales, or usage of these items, the projected markets for our products, and selling costs. Inventories that we estimate will not be used within one year is considered non-current inventory. . Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Years Buildings and Improvements 3 40 Equipment and Furniture 2 15 Vehicles 5 7 Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is measured and tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. We test goodwill for impairment using qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, no further testing is performed. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we perform a quantitative two-step impairment test. The first step compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, then the second step is used to measure the amount of impairment loss. We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets (including property and equipment and intangible assets) for possible impairment when events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In general, we will identify a potential impairment loss when the sum of undiscounted expected cash flows from the asset is less than the carrying amount of such asset. We record an impairment loss when the carrying amount of the intangible asset is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. Intangible assets, such as patents and trademarks, are amortized using the straight-line method over their economic lives. . For casino table game product sales, we record revenue, net of excise and sales taxes, when it is realized, or realizable, and earned. We consider these criteria met when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and, if required, acceptance is received from the customer. Shipping costs billed to our customers are reflected in revenues, with the related expense included in cost of revenues. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue and included in accrued expenses. We occasionally enter into multiple-element arrangements with our customers to provide RFID solutions. Such transactions may include deliverables such as RFID equipment, installation and training services, embedded RFID software licenses, and limited software support services. In such arrangements, RFID equipment and embedded RFID software work together to deliver the functionality purchased by our customer. Therefore, we apply the provisions of multiple-element accounting to separate the deliverables and allocate the total arrangement consideration based upon relative estimated selling prices. Each unit of accounting is then accounted for under the applicable revenue recognition guidance. For RFID equipment and related services, revenue generally is recorded when all customer-defined acceptance criteria are satisfied. For RFID software support services, revenue generally is amortized over the term of the support contract. On occasion, we may recognize revenue under a bill and hold arrangement. Under a bill and hold arrangement revenue is recognized when the product is manufactured, completed, invoiced, and segregated from the seller’s other inventory so that it is not subjected to being used to fill other orders. Upon invoicing under this arrangement, ownership has passed to the buyer with no residual warranty obligation or right of return such that the earnings process is complete. The customer must request a bill and hold arrangement, preferably in writing, must commit to the purchase, and the delivery date must be fixed. Research and development costs are the costs related to developing new and improved products and manufacturing processes, including staff compensation and related expenses, subcontract costs, materials, and supplies. Such costs are charged to expense when incurred and are included in our consolidated statements of income. We recognize a current tax liability or asset for estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year and a deferred non-current tax liability or asset for estimated future tax effects, attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. GPIC and its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns in their respective jurisdictions. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. We review all of our tax positions and make a determination as to whether our position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not standard, then the related tax benefit is measured based on the cumulative probability that the amount is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement or disposition of the underlying issue. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the provision for income taxes on our consolidated statements of income. . The financial statements of GPI SAS are measured using the euro as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of GPI SAS are translated into the U.S. dollar at exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into the U.S. dollar at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss. The financial statements of GPI Asia and GPI Mexicana are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions with third parties denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Comprehensive income includes net income, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities recorded net of tax, and foreign currency translation adjustments. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions have been made in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable; write-downs of slow moving, excess, and obsolete inventories; the depreciable lives of fixed and intangible assets; estimates for the recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets; the recoverability of deferred tax assets; and potential exposures relating to litigation, claims, and assessments. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. These amendments require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The ASU becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption but does not expect the adoption to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences; classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and will consult with accounting experts as needed to assist with the implementation of this standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by reporting lease assets and lease liabilities, both finance (capital) and operating leases, on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. For public companies, the updated guidance is effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those fiscal years). Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and will consult with accounting experts as needed to assist with the implementation of this standard. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet. ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we elected to prospectively adopt this standard. The prior reporting period was not retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The guidance applies to any entity measuring inventory using first-in, first-out or average cost. The main provision of this guidance requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of this ASU at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity should apply the amendments prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption but does not expect the adoption to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 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. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we early adopted this standard. As such we evaluated the Company’s situation and concluded that there was no substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should 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. This guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance, including most industry-specific guidance, as well as certain related guidance on accounting for contract costs. To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASUs: •ASU 2016-08 (Issued March 2016) - Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) •ASU 2016-10 (Issued April 2016) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing •ASU 2016-12 (Issued May 2016) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients •ASU 2016-20 (Issued December 2016) - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard is effective in the first quarter of 2018 for public companies and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption but does not expect it to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements.

The prior reporting period was not retrospectively adjusted. For our investment in GPI Asia, deferred taxes are not being provided on unrepatriated foreign earnings. These earnings are considered permanently reinvested, since it is management’s intention to reinvest these foreign earnings in future operations. We project that we will have sufficient cash flow in the U.S. and will not need to repatriate the foreign earnings from GPI Asia to finance U.S. operations. Except for the deemed dividends under Section 956 in 2015 and under Subpart F, we continue to assert that earnings from GPI Asia will be permanently reinvested. As of December 31, 2016, we had unremitted earnings of $ 0.4 We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the tax years 2013 through 2016 remain open to examination under the statute of limitations by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states for GPIC and GPI USA, by the French Tax Administration for GPI SAS, and by the Government of the Macau Special Administrative Region - Financial Services Bureau for GPI Asia.

Nature of Business and Signif27

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Consolidation and Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GPIC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GPI USA, GPI SAS, GPI Asia, and GPI Mexicana. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents. 250,000
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments .
Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Marketable Securities . We account for our investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale and, as such, they are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are, instead, reported within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Accounts Receivables And Customer Deposits [Policy Text Block]	Accounts Receivables and Customer Deposits. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and for casino currency and most significant orders, such as those orders for casino openings, generally require a deposit prior to commencing work on a customer order. These customer deposits are classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to state trade receivables at their estimated realizable value. This allowance applies to all customers and is estimated based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, economic conditions and trends, significant one-time events, and historical experience. Changes are made to the allowance based on our awareness of a particular customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. Receivables are written-off when management determines that collectability is remote.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using a weighted-average method for GPI SAS and a first-in, first-out method for GPI USA and GPI Asia. Market value is determined by comparing inventory item carrying values to estimates of net realizable value. The analysis of net realizable value includes reviewing overall inventory levels, historical and projected sales, or usage of these items, the projected markets for our products, and selling costs. Inventories that we estimate will not be used within one year is considered non-current inventory.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and Equipment . Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Years Buildings and Improvements 3 40 Equipment and Furniture 2 15 Vehicles 5 7
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill. Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is measured and tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. We test goodwill for impairment using qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, no further testing is performed. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we perform a quantitative two-step impairment test. The first step compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, then the second step is used to measure the amount of impairment loss.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets (including property and equipment and intangible assets) for possible impairment when events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In general, we will identify a potential impairment loss when the sum of undiscounted expected cash flows from the asset is less than the carrying amount of such asset. We record an impairment loss when the carrying amount of the intangible asset is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. Intangible assets, such as patents and trademarks, are amortized using the straight-line method over their economic lives.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition . For casino table game product sales, we record revenue, net of excise and sales taxes, when it is realized, or realizable, and earned. We consider these criteria met when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and, if required, acceptance is received from the customer. Shipping costs billed to our customers are reflected in revenues, with the related expense included in cost of revenues. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue and included in accrued expenses. We occasionally enter into multiple-element arrangements with our customers to provide RFID solutions. Such transactions may include deliverables such as RFID equipment, installation and training services, embedded RFID software licenses, and limited software support services. In such arrangements, RFID equipment and embedded RFID software work together to deliver the functionality purchased by our customer. Therefore, we apply the provisions of multiple-element accounting to separate the deliverables and allocate the total arrangement consideration based upon relative estimated selling prices. Each unit of accounting is then accounted for under the applicable revenue recognition guidance. For RFID equipment and related services, revenue generally is recorded when all customer-defined acceptance criteria are satisfied. For RFID software support services, revenue generally is amortized over the term of the support contract. On occasion, we may recognize revenue under a bill and hold arrangement. Under a bill and hold arrangement revenue is recognized when the product is manufactured, completed, invoiced, and segregated from the seller’s other inventory so that it is not subjected to being used to fill other orders. Upon invoicing under this arrangement, ownership has passed to the buyer with no residual warranty obligation or right of return such that the earnings process is complete. The customer must request a bill and hold arrangement, preferably in writing, must commit to the purchase, and the delivery date must be fixed.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Research and Development. Research and development costs are the costs related to developing new and improved products and manufacturing processes, including staff compensation and related expenses, subcontract costs, materials, and supplies. Such costs are charged to expense when incurred and are included in our consolidated statements of income.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes. We recognize a current tax liability or asset for estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year and a deferred non-current tax liability or asset for estimated future tax effects, attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. GPIC and its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns in their respective jurisdictions. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. We review all of our tax positions and make a determination as to whether our position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not standard, then the related tax benefit is measured based on the cumulative probability that the amount is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement or disposition of the underlying issue. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the provision for income taxes on our consolidated statements of income.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Foreign Currency Transactions . The financial statements of GPI SAS are measured using the euro as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of GPI SAS are translated into the U.S. dollar at exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into the U.S. dollar at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss. The financial statements of GPI Asia and GPI Mexicana are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions with third parties denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income includes net income, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities recorded net of tax, and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions have been made in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable; write-downs of slow moving, excess, and obsolete inventories; the depreciable lives of fixed and intangible assets; estimates for the recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets; the recoverability of deferred tax assets; and potential exposures relating to litigation, claims, and assessments. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. These amendments require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The ASU becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption but does not expect the adoption to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences; classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and will consult with accounting experts as needed to assist with the implementation of this standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by reporting lease assets and lease liabilities, both finance (capital) and operating leases, on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. For public companies, the updated guidance is effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those fiscal years). Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and will consult with accounting experts as needed to assist with the implementation of this standard. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet. ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we elected to prospectively adopt this standard. The prior reporting period was not retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The guidance applies to any entity measuring inventory using first-in, first-out or average cost. The main provision of this guidance requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of this ASU at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity should apply the amendments prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption but does not expect the adoption to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 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. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we early adopted this standard. As such we evaluated the Company’s situation and concluded that there was no substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should 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. This guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance, including most industry-specific guidance, as well as certain related guidance on accounting for contract costs. To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASUs: •ASU 2016-08 (Issued March 2016) - Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) •ASU 2016-10 (Issued April 2016) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing •ASU 2016-12 (Issued May 2016) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients •ASU 2016-20 (Issued December 2016) - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard is effective in the first quarter of 2018 for public companies and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company has not adopted this guidance for 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption but does not expect it to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements.
