RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

NOTE 3 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to the presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The new guidance does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis.

On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, such that it is effective beginning on or after December 15, 2017 for public entities. Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date.

On July 22, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires that inventory within the scope of the guidance be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method (RIM) are not impacted by the new guidance. The new guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. Prospective application is required. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
