RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The amendment in this update allows recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs, which was prohibited before and required recognition only when the asset was sold to an outside party. This amendment should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The amendment in this update is effective on a modified retrospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this update reduces diversity in eight areas where the FASB does not provide clear or specific guidance in classifying certain cash receipts and payments. The ASU currently applies to our contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. It requires us to show payments made soon after the acquisition to settle the contingent liability under investing activities section, those payments not made soon after the acquisition under the financing activity section in the amount of a liability recognized at the acquisition date (including measurement-period adjustments) and any excess under operating activities section. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. As the Company reports its cash flow activity related to contingent consideration consistent with the new ASU, the adoption of this guidance will have no effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The new standard will be effective on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which impacts virtually all aspects of an entity’s revenue recognition. The ASU introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date until the annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard will be effective beginning in the first quarter of 2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which finalized proposed ASU 2015-290 of the same name and clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies multiple aspects of identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides clarifying guidance in a few narrow areas and adds some practical expedients to the guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.  The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases greater than 1 year, regardless of whether they were previously accounted for as capital or operating leases. This update is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard as well as the timing of when it will adopt this ASU.
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendment requires deferred tax liabilities and assets, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Effective April 1, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2015-17 on a prospective basis, which resulted in the reclassification of current deferred tax assets to non-current deferred income tax assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The amendments in this update require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The update eliminates the current requirement to retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update guides presentation of debt issuance costs and requires the related debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this ASU. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidations Analysis, which changes the guidance for evaluating whether to consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
