Impact Of New Accounting Pronouncements

Note 2 Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition.  The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized, based upon the core principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of 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.  The guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability in the balance sheet, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The amortization of debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense in the statement of earnings. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU 2015-03. The ASU, which is to be applied on a retrospective basis and reported as a change in accounting principle, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. ASU 2015-03 will not affect the Company’s results of operations or cash flows, but it will require the Company to reclassify its deferred financing costs from other assets to borrowings under revolving credit agreement and long-term debt on a retrospective basis.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or its Equivalent). ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair values are estimated using the net asset value practical expedient provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Disclosures about investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share are limited under ASU 2015-07 to those investments for which the entity has elected to estimate the fair value using the net asset value practical expedient. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with retrospective application to all periods presented. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
