Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that 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. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

        In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-2, "Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" (Topic 810) which provides guidance to companies in evaluating whether certain legal entities should be included in their consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company believes the effects, if any, of the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

        In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-3, "Interest—Imputation of Interest" (Subtopic 835-30) which requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the associated debt obligation, with the amortization of such costs being reported as a component of interest expense. The description of the debt obligation will also include the effective interest rate resulting from the amortization of debt issuance costs. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within such annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The new guidance is to be adopted on a retrospective basis with appropriate disclosure reflecting a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted of this guidance during the third quarter of 2015 in conjunction with the refinancing of the Company's debt (see Notes 5 and 7). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

        In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations" (Topic 805) which requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the update require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The Company believes the effects, if any, of the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

        A $3.8 million reclassification from "Other Assets" to a reduction of "Long-Term Debt" associated with the aforementioned adoption of ASU No. 2015-3, "Interest—Imputation of Interest," have been made to the 2014 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation and have no effect on previously reported net income (loss).
