Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

8.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This guidance defines how companies report revenues from contracts with customers and also requires enhanced disclosures. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board voted to defer the effective date by one year, with early adoption on the original effective date permitted. ASU 2014-09 was to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within the annual reporting period. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of the adoption of this update on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from most leases. The main difference between previous U.S. GAAP and ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. For lessors, the guidance included in ASU 2016-02 modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. ASU 2016-02 provides specific guidance for determining whether a contractual arrangement contains a lease, lease classification by lessees and lessors, initial and subsequent measurement of leases by lessees and lessors, sale and leaseback transactions, transition, and financial statement disclosures. ASU 2016-02 requires entities to use a modified retrospective approach to apply its guidance, and includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. For public entities, the amendments included in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
