NOTE 16 – ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING CHANGES:

In the normal course of business, management evaluates all new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or any other authoritative accounting bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires companies to recognize all leases as assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.  Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less.  This ASU retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases, and the classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous accounting guidance.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier application is permitted.

The Company adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach on April 1, 2019.  The Company elected the available transition method that uses the effective date of the amended guidance as the date of initial application.  The guidance provided for several practical expedients.  The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which allows entities to carry forward historical lease classification.  The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less.  The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  On April 1, 2019, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the amended guidance which resulted in the recognition of operating lease ROU assets of $676, lease liabilities of $732 and a decrease to the opening balance of retained earnings of $80.  Other current assets and the deferred income tax liability were reduced by $47 and $20, respectively.  Approximately $500 of ROU assets and lease liabilities were related to the business held for sale at March 31, 2019 and subsequently sold on June 24, 2019.  See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Company’s leases.

Management does not expect any other recently issued accounting pronouncements, which have not already been adopted, to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
