NOTE B — NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
Effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company early adopted new accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires an entity to measure most inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, thereby simplifying the prior guidance requiring inventory measurement at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 will not apply to inventories that are measured using either the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method or the retail inventory method. Therefore, the lower of cost or market valuation will continue as the appropriate measurement for inventories valued using the LIFO method or the retail inventory method. The Company will apply ASU 2015-11 prospectively beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
