NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 
Nature of Business
 
Immucor, Inc. (“Immucor”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) develop, manufacture and sell transfusion and transplantation diagnostics products used by hospitals, donor centers and reference laboratories around the world. Our products are used in a number of tests performed in the typing and screening of blood, organs or stem cells to identify certain properties of the cell and serum components of human blood and tissue to ensure donor-recipient compatibility for blood transfusion, and organ transplantations. The Company operates manufacturing facilities in North America with both direct affiliate offices and third-party distribution arrangements worldwide.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s expected full year results. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited, consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended May 31, 2015, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 21, 2015.
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Immucor and all its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no other entities controlled by the Company, either directly or indirectly.
 
 
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
Accounting Changes Not Yet Adopted
 
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17,
Income Taxes:
Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred
Taxes
(“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, which corresponds to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2015-17 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16,
Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement
-
Period Adjustments
(“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this update require that the acquirer 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. The amendments in this update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes 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. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which corresponds to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2015-16 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,
Inventory
:
Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory
(“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory within the scope of this update be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in this update do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, which corresponds to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2015-11 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2014, the FASB
and International Accounting Standards Board issued their converged standard on revenue recognition, ASU
2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASU 2014-09”). This standard outlines a single comprehensive model for companies 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 revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Transfer of control is not the same as transfer of risks and rewards, as it is considered in current guidance. The Company will also need to apply new guidance to determine whether revenue should be recognized over time or at a point in time. An amendment was made in July 2015 to change the effective date of this standard from the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to December 15, 2017, which corresponds to
the Company’s
first quarter of fiscal year 2019. No early adoption is permitted under this standard, and it is to be applied either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,
Interest — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
(“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs for term debt in the balance sheet by requiring the debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the related debt liability, rather than recorded as an asset. In August 2015, ASU 2015-15,
Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements
(“ASU 2015-15”), was issued to provide clarification to ASU 2015-03. The standard specifies that the SEC would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which corresponds to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2017. This standard is to be applied retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 on its consolidated financial statements.
