Effective December 1, 2016, the Company announced the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer, who also is the Company’s CODM. On January 20, 2017, the Company announced that it is currently evaluating how it expects to make decisions, assess performance and allocate resources prospectively. Going forward, the Company expects to have two operating segments: one focused on its specialty businesses and one focused on the Company’s more mature businesses. Accordingly, during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company will be assessing its segment reporting, as defined under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, and expects any changes to its reportable segments to be disclosed and reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of fiscal 2017.
