requires lessees to recognize, in the balance sheet, a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term.

In

the FASB issued ASU

-
09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU was originally effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December
15,
2016
and early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. Companies
may
use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU. In
July
2015,
FASB voted to approve a
one
-year deferral of the effective date to
December
31,
2017
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of
December
15,
2016.
As a result, ASU
2014
-

will become effective for us in the
first
quarter of our fiscal year ending
December
 
31,
2018.
The Company has begun its preliminary assessment and is identifying specific areas of impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has
tentatively
decided to adopt this standard under the modified retrospective approach and is still evaluating
the impact of adopting ASU

on the Company's consolidated net income, financial position, cash flows, disclosures, information technology systems and internal controls.
