2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 ("Topic 606"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). This new revenue standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount it expects to receive for those goods and services. ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates and changes in those estimates. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date (ASU 2015-14). ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year to periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those periods. The Company continues to assess the impact of the new revenue standard and expects to adopt the guidance for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. |
