Note 15 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following recent accounting pronouncements have been adopted in
the current fiscal year:
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07
“Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715):
Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net
Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”. The amendments in
this update require the service cost component of pension expense
to be disaggregated from the other components of net periodic
benefit cost and be presented in the same line items as other
employee compensation costs. All other components of net periodic
benefit cost (interest cost, amortization of prior service cost and
amortization of unrecognized loss) must be presented in the income
statement separately from the service cost component and outside a
subtotal of income from operations. The amendments in this update
also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for
capitalization when applicable (for example, as a cost of
internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset).
This update is effective for public business entities for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim
periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as
long as it is early adopted in the first interim period of an
annual year and financial statements have not been issued or made
available for issuance prior to adoption. The amendments in this
update should be applied using a retrospective transition method,
however, a practical expedient is offered with regard to the prior
comparative periods. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2018. Service cost continues to be presented as a
component of Administrative expense while the remaining components
of net periodic benefit cost (interest cost, amortization of prior
service cost and amortization of unrecognized loss) are now
presented below the caption Other expense on the Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Income. Adoption of this update
required a reclassification of $534 and $1,600 in the prior year
third quarter and thirty-nine week period, respectively, from
Administrative expense to Other expense.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17
“Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held Through Related
Parties That Are Under Common Control”. This update
amends ASU 2015-02 and affects reporting entities that are required
to evaluate whether they should consolidate a variable interest
entity in certain situations involving entities under common
control. ASU 2016-17 is effective for the Company in fiscal 2018
and requires retrospective application. The adoption of ASU 2016-17
did not have any impact to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11
“Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of
Inventory”. This update applies to inventory measured
using first-in, first-out or average cost and requires inventory be
measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net
realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the
ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of
completion, disposal and transportation. When evidence exists that
the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the
difference shall be recognized as a loss in earnings in the period
in which it occurs. That loss may be required, for example, due to
damage, physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price
levels, or other causes. This update became effective for the
Company beginning in fiscal year 2018 with prospective application
required. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have any impact to
our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following recent accounting pronouncements have not yet been
adopted:
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02
“Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income
(Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The amendments
in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded tax
effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendments in
this Update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax
effects. The amendments in this Update are effective for all
entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of
the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in
any interim period for public business entities for reporting
periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued.
The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the
period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods)
in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate
income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. This
update is effective beginning in fiscal 2020 and we do not expect
this update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2017-04
“Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Topics (Topic
350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The
purpose of this update is to reduce the cost and complexity of
evaluating goodwill for impairment. It eliminates the need for
entities to calculate the impaired fair value of goodwill by
assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets
and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a
business combination, commonly referred to as “Step 2”.
Under this amendment, an entity will perform its goodwill
impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit
with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting
unit’s fair value. This update is effective beginning in
fiscal 2021. We do not expect this update to have a material impact
on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02
“Leases (Topic 842)”. The primary goal of this
update is to require the lessee to recognize all lease commitments,
both operating and finance, by initially recording a lease asset
and liability on the balance sheet at the lease commencement date.
Additionally, enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures
will be required. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for public
business entities for annual periods, including interim periods
within those annual periods, beginning after December 15,
2018. This new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning
in fiscal year 2020. This guidance must be adopted using a modified
retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company
expects this new guidance to have a significant impact on its total
assets and total liabilities, and lead to increased financial
statement disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and created a
new ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers, and added ASC Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and
Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers. The guidance
in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in
ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most
industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the
codification. Under the new guidance, 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. Several other amendments have been subsequently released,
each of which provide additional narrow scope clarifications or
improvements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the
Effective Date” which deferred the effective date of ASU
2014-09 for one year. Consequently, this new revenue recognition
guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year
2019, which is our anticipated adoption date. We have completed our
initial analysis of this accounting standard update which included
a review of all material customer contracts and currently do not
anticipate any material changes to our revenue recognition compared
to current GAAP. We are currently evaluating the method of
adoption.
