Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Hooper Holmes, Inc. ("Hooper Holmes" or the "Company") provides on-site health screenings, laboratory testing, risk assessment and sample collection services to individuals as part of comprehensive health and wellness programs offered through corporate and government employers. The Company has expanded its capabilities with the acquisition of Accountable Health Services, Inc. allowing it to also deliver telephonic health coaching, wellness portals, and data analytics and reporting services. Hooper Holmes is engaged by the organizations sponsoring such programs, including health and care management companies, broker and wellness companies, disease management organizations, reward administrators, third party administrators, clinical research organizations and health plans. Hooper Holmes provides these services through a national network of health professionals. The Company's business is subject to some seasonality, with the second quarter sales typically dropping below the other quarters and the third and fourth quarter sales typically the strongest quarters due to increased demand for biometric screenings from mid-August through November related to annual benefit renewal cycles. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015. Financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and other disclosures. The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of the Company's management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year. See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information.

New Accounting Pronouncements In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs", which requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability. The Company has unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.6 million that is included in Other Assets as of September 30, 2015, and will be reclassed as an offset to Debt in the first quarter of 2016. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016, with early adoption permitted, and retrospective application required. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. This new guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date or first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments", which eliminates the requirement to retrospectively adjust the financial statements for measurement-period adjustments that occur in periods after a business combination is consummated. An acquirer now must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-16 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
