On January 9, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (“ASU 2015-01”), which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items and the uncertainty in determining when an item is both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be ordinary activity unless evidence clearly supports the transaction as unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence. If an event or transaction is determined to be unusual and infrequent, it is deemed to be extraordinary, and is required to be segregated from the results of ordinary operations on the face of the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations, along with other financial statement disclosures. ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from the income statement presentation. Eliminating this concept removes the uncertainty in determining when a transaction is both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence. However, the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. ASU 2015-01 aligns U.S. GAAP with International Accounting Standard 1, which prohibits the presentation and disclosure of extraordinary items. ASU 2015-01 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2014-18 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements. |
