Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted accounting pronouncements



In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).”  ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. The update requires lessees to apply a modified retrospective approach for recognition and disclosure, beginning with the earliest period presented. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842)”—Targeted Improvements, which allows an additional transition method to adopt the new lease standard at the adoption date, as compared to the beginning of the earliest period presented, and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.



NOTE A – ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION



The Company adopted Topic 842 in the first quarter of 2019, using the transition method per ASU 2018-11.  Accordingly, all periods prior to December 30, 2018 were presented in accordance with the previous Topic 840, Leases, and no retrospective adjustments were made to the comparative periods presented.  As a result of the adoption on December 30, 2018, the Company, recorded operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $19,671 and operating lease liabilities of $20,010 (of which, $7,120 was current and $12,890 was non-current) on the Company’s balance sheet for facility and equipment lease agreements.  Additionally, the Company has prepaid land use rights related to production facilities in China of $6,853 that were reclassified to ROU assets.  The Company utilized the incremental borrowing rate for the remaining lease term and remaining minimum rental payments for the calculation of the lease liability at the adoption date.  Consistent with the treatment under Topic 840, the Company has excluded the portion of fixed rental payments attributable to executory costs such as taxes, insurance and maintenance in the determination of the future minimum rental payments for purposes of calculation of the lease liability at the adoption date.  The Company does not have significant finance leases. 



As part of the adoption of Topic 842, the Company made the following practical expedient elections:





The adoption of Topic 842 had a material impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, but did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.  The most significant changes to the consolidated balance sheets relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The adoption of Topic 842 also had no material impact on operating, investing, or financing cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows. However, Topic 842 has affected the Company’s disclosures about noncash activities relating to the initial recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Additionally, the Company’s lease-related disclosures have increased as of and for the period ended March 30, 2019.  See Note B - Operating Leases for additional information regarding the Company’s lease policies under the new standard.



In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.”  ASU 2017-12 better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To satisfy that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components, and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements.  For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 during the quarter ended March 30, 2019 and the adoption of the standard did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.”  ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The modifications removed the following disclosure requirements: (i) the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU added the following disclosure requirements: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant observable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.



In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.”  ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the adoption date.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-15 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
