The Company And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“SciClone” or the “Company”), incorporated in 1990, is a United States (“US”)-headquartered, China-focused, specialty pharmaceutical company with a substantial commercial business in China and a product portfolio of therapies for oncology and infectious diseases. The Company’s lead product, ZADAXIN® (thymalfasin) is approved in over 30 countries and may be used for the treatment of hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and certain cancers according to the local regulatory approvals, and for use as an immune system enhancer. In addition to ZADAXIN, SciClone markets approximately 7 partnered and in-licensed products in China. SciClone is also pursuing the registration of several other therapeutic products in China.

Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make informed estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents and Investments

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase. The Company records its investments at fair value, as determined by available information on the consolidated balance sheet date. The Company’s investment portfolio as of December 31, 2015 consisted of money market funds that were included in cash and cash equivalents.

Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in earnings. The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity and is included in earnings. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Available-for-sale investments are evaluated for impairment each reporting period. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. If, after consideration of all available evidence to evaluate the realizable value of its investment, impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. No such losses were recorded in the periods presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of input are:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, the Company determines fair value based on quoted market prices, and classifies these values in level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities and are classified in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. When quoted prices and observable inputs are unavailable, fair values are based on cash flow models and are classified in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The cash flow models use inputs specific to the asset or liabilities including estimates for interest rates and discount rates including yields of comparable traded instruments adjusted for illiquidity and other risk factors, amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of the assets and liabilities. These inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets and liabilities including assumptions about risk developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may materially affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Other financial instruments, including accrued short-term liabilities, are carried at cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the institutions holding the cash, cash equivalents and investments, and by customers and partners in the event of default by the customer or partner to pay the amounts due to the Company on receivables and loans receivables, respectively, to the extent of the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Most of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held by financial institutions that the Company believes are of high credit quality. At times, deposits may exceed government insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

In China, pharmaceutical products are imported and distributed through a tiered method of distribution. For the Company’s proprietary product ZADAXIN, the Company manufactures its product using its US and European contract manufacturers, and it generates its product sales revenue through sales of ZADAXIN products to Sinopharm Holding Lingyun Biopharmaceutical (Shanghai) Co. Limited (“Sinopharm”). Sinopharm acts as an importer, and also as the top “tier” of the distribution system (“Tier 1”) in China. The Company’s ZADAXIN sales occur when the importer purchases product from the Company, without any right of return except for replacement of product in the events of damaged product or quality control issues. As the Company bears risk of loss until delivery has occurred, revenue is not recognized until the shipment reaches its destination. After the Company’s sale of ZADAXIN to the importer, Sinopharm clears products through China import customs, sells directly to large hospitals and holds additional product it has purchased in inventory for sale to the next tier in the distribution system. The second-tier (“Tier 2”) distributors are responsible for the further sale and distribution of the products they purchase from the importer, either through sales of product directly to the retail level (hospitals and pharmacies), or to third-tier (“Tier 3”) local or regional distributors who, in turn, sell products to hospitals and pharmacies. The Company’s other product sales revenues result from the sale of the Company’s in-licensed products to importing agents and distributors.

Promotion services revenues result from fees received for exclusively promoting products for certain pharmaceutical partners. These importing agents, distributors and partners are the Company’s customers.

Customers that exceeded 10% of the Company’s total net revenue and related to our China segment were as follows:

Product sales of $146.1 million or 95%,  $126.1 million or 96%, and $96.3 million or 97%, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to sales of ZADAXIN. As of December 31, 2015, approximately $38.3 million, or 96%, of the Company's gross accounts receivable was attributable to one customer, Sinopharm, in China. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such actual losses may vary significantly from its estimates.

The Company currently relies on two suppliers to provide key components to its ZADAXIN manufacturing supply. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers who would be able to meet the requirements to manufacture these components, the Company believes that other suppliers could provide similar components on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which would affect operating results adversely.

Per the Company’s previous contractual arrangement with Sinopharm through December 31, 2015, and a renewed contractual arrangement with Sinopharm (the Company’s sole distributor for ZADAXIN in China) which took effect January 1, 2016, the Company’s sales of ZADAXIN to Sinopharm have been and continue to be denominated in US dollars. However, the established importer price may be adjusted quarterly based upon exchange rate fluctuations between the US dollar and Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”).  A significant portion of the Company’s other revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB and are exposed to foreign exchange risk. In recent months, the RMB has experienced devaluation. Such devaluation may negatively affect the US dollar value of revenues, albeit on a lagging basis, pursuant to the periodic adjustments described above. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at the exchange rates quoted by People’s Bank of China. Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

Accounts Receivable Reserve

The Company records a receivable reserve based on a specific review of its overdue invoices. The Company’s estimate for a reserve is determined after considering its existing contractual payment terms, payment patterns of its customers and individual customer circumstances, the age of any outstanding receivables and its current customer relationships. Accounts receivable are charged off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a receivable reserve of $0.6 million. In October 2014, the Company’s subsidiary, SciClone Pharmaceuticals International China Holding Ltd (“SPIL China”) executed an agreement with a particular customer providing for settlement of a $3.0 million receivable balance. The terms of the settlement agreement resulted in the write-off of $1.1 million in previously fully reserved accounts receivable with an equivalent charge-off of the allowance for bad debt, which had no impact on net income in 2014. Of the remaining $1.9 million receivable balance, $0.4 million and $1.0 million were collected in 2015 and 2014, respectively, per the terms of the settlement agreement, and these gains on recovery were recorded as reductions to general and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, a balance of $0.5 million remained uncollected from the same customer but remained fully reserved. The Company recognized $0.5 million of bad debt expense in general and administrative expense during the first quarter of 2015 related to past due receivables from another customer, due to uncertainty regarding the collectability of the customer’s outstanding receivable balance. The Company wrote-off the $0.5 million of past due accounts receivable from this customer during the fourth quarter of 2015 as uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods products. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value), with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include amounts related to materials, labor and overhead. The Company periodically reviews the inventory in order to identify excess and obsolete items. If obsolete or excess items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company will record a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the impairment is first indicated. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company recorded inventory write-downs of  $0,  $2.1 million, and $0, respectively, principally related to carrying value reductions for excess Aggrastat®  product. As of December 31, 2015, there was zero remaining Aggrastat product in inventory following a discontinuation of the product. (Refer to Note 17 for further information regarding the discontinuation of Aggrastat.)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on the straight-line basis. Office furniture and fixtures are generally amortized over five years, office equipment and computer software are generally amortized over three years, and the Company’s vehicle is being amortized over four years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or lease term on the straight-line basis. The Company’s policy is to identify and record impairment losses, if necessary, on property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.

Goodwill

The Company accounted for the acquisition of NovaMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“NovaMed”) in 2011 under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition-date fair value of the assets and liabilities are recognized as of the closing date. The excess of the fair value of the total consideration transferred over the acquisition-date fair value of net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or whenever events or circumstances occur that indicate impairment might have occurred in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Goodwill relates to the Company’s China segment which focuses on the Company’s primary pharmaceutical distribution market, consisting of the NovaMed business and the legacy China business, which represent a single reporting unit. As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company tested its goodwill for impairment by quantitatively comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount - step one of the two-step impairment test. The Company bypassed the optional qualitative screening test in proceeding directly to step one of the two-step impairment test. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis to determine if the goodwill was impaired as a result of the non-renewal of the Sanofi Aventis S.A. (“Sanofi”) promotional agreements as of December 31, 2013, by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The Company estimates the fair value of the China reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model. This valuation approach considers a number of factors that include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates, and requires the Company to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding industry economic factors and future profitability of the Company’s business. If the Company determines that the carrying value of its reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would then calculate the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill as compared to its carrying value to determine the appropriate impairment charge. After completing the Company’s impairment review for the reporting unit during the third quarter of 2013, and as of December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired in any of these years.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable are due from a single third party (see Note 6). Loans are initially recorded, and continue to be carried, at unpaid principal balances under “other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. Carried balances are subsequently adjusted for payments of principal or adjustments to the allowance for loan losses to account for any impairment. Interest income is recognized over the term of the loans and is calculated using the simple-interest method, as the loans do not have associated premium or discount. If the loans were to experience impairment, interest income would not be recognized unless the likelihood of further loss was remote.

Although the measurement basis is unpaid principal (as adjusted for subsequent payments or impairment), not fair value, the loans receivable would qualify as Level 3 measurements under the fair value hierarchy due to the presence of significant unobservable inputs related to the counterparty, which is a private entity.

Management considers impairment to exist when, based on current information or factors (such as payment history, value of collateral, and assessment of the counterparty’s current creditworthiness), it is probable that principal and interest payments will not be collected according to the contractual agreements. Management considers a loan payment delinquent when not received by the due date. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, management concluded the loans receivable were not impaired, and there was no allowance for loan losses.

Accrued Expenses

The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in its consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to them. Examples of estimated accrued expenses include fees paid to contract research organizations and investigative sites in connection with clinical trials, fees paid to contract manufacturers in connection with the production of materials, and professional services.   The Company periodically confirms the accuracy of its estimates with selected service providers and makes adjustments, if necessary, in the periods identified.

Expenses related to clinical trials charged to research and development expense generally are accrued based on estimates of work performed or the level of patient enrollment and activities according to the protocols and agreements. The Company makes adjustments, if necessary, in the periods identified to reflect actual levels of work performed, and such adjustments have historically not been material. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under certain contracts depend on factors such as the achievement of certain events, the successful enrollment of patients, and the completion of portions of the clinical trial or similar conditions. The objective of the Company’s accrual policy is to match the recording of expenses to the actual services received and efforts expended. The Company monitors planned protocols, work performed, patient enrollment levels and related activities to the extent possible and adjusts estimates accordingly.

The Company records as liabilities estimated amounts for litigation, claims or other legal actions that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The likelihood of a material change in these estimated reserves is dependent on the possible outcome of settlement negotiations, regulatory or judicial review and the development of facts and circumstances in extended litigation which could change claims or assessments when both the amount and range of loss on some outstanding litigation is uncertain. The Company discloses in the footnotes to the financial statements when it is unable to make a reasonable estimate of a material liability that is reasonably possible to result from unfavorable outcomes. As events occur, the Company assesses the potential liability related to any pending litigation, claims or other legal actions and adjusts its estimates accordingly. Such adjustments could materially impact its financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries stated in local functional currencies to US dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the period. Revenues and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange in effect during the period. Goodwill, and certain other balances, are generally recorded in the local currency which is the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries located in China. As a result, the carrying value of goodwill and certain other balances may fluctuate with the value of the RMB as compared to the US dollar. Gains and losses from the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders' equity.

The Company records foreign currency transactions at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction with resultant gains and losses being included in results of operations. Foreign currency transaction losses were $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, foreign currency transaction gains and losses were not significant.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Product Revenue. The Company recognizes product revenue from selling manufactured ZADAXIN product at the time of delivery. Sales of ZADAXIN to Sinopharm are recognized upon the arrival of a shipment to its destination when title and risk of loss to the product are transferred. The Company also earns product revenue from purchasing medical products from pharmaceutical companies and selling them directly to importers or distributors. The Company recognizes revenue related to these products based on the “sell-in” method, when the medical products have been delivered to the importers or distributors. Payments by the importing agents and distributors are not contingent upon sale to the end user by the importing agents or distributors.

Promotion Services Revenue. The Company recognizes promotion services revenue after designated medical products are delivered to the distributors as specified in a promotion services contract, which marks the period when marketing and promotion services have been rendered and the revenue recognition criteria are met. Per the Company’s arrangement with Sanofi, the Company was required to return or refund a portion of promotion services fees received during interim periods if defined annual sales targets were not achieved. Under the Company’s agreements with this customer, if an agreement was terminated, and provided such targets had been met on a “pro rata” basis at the date of contract termination, the Company was entitled to retain the amounts paid. Due to the ability to retain amounts paid upon contract termination, provided applicable targets had been met on a “pro rata” basis at any interim date, the Company elected to recognize revenue during interim periods without reduction for amounts subject to refund based on Method 2 of Accounting Standards Codification 605-20-S99-1, “Accounting for Management Fees Based on a Formula.”

The Company’s promotion agreements with Sanofi, consisting of individual promotional agreements for certain pharmaceutical products and supplementary agreements extending the terms thereof, were not renewed and expired on December 31, 2013. NovaMed Pharmaceuticals (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. (“NovaMed Shanghai”) and Sanofi negotiated a settlement of certain amounts in dispute, effective July 14, 2014, and NovaMed Shanghai received approximately 22 million RMB (approximately $3.5 million) in August 2014 as final payment from Sanofi. The terms of the settlement resulted in the recognition of promotion services revenue for the second quarter of 2014 of approximately $0.2 million of Sanofi revenue that had been deferred in the fourth quarter of 2013. The remaining approximately $2.6 million of deferred revenue originally recorded during the fourth quarter of 2013, was reversed with an equivalent write-down of accounts receivable. This contemporaneous write-down of accounts receivable and deferred revenue had no impact on net income during the second quarter of 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2014.

Revenue Reserve: The Company generally maintains a revenue reserve for product returns based on estimates of the amount of product to be returned by its customers which are based on historical patterns, analysis of market demand and/or a percentage of sales based on industry trends, and management’s evaluation of specific factors that may increase the risk of product returns. Importing agents or distributors do not have contractual rights of return except under limited terms regarding product quality. However, the Company is expected to replace products that have expired or are deemed to be damaged or defective when delivered. The calculation of the revenue reserve requires estimates and involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment. As a result of the uncertainties involved in estimating the revenue reserve, there is a possibility that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s revenue reserves were $0.1 million on its consolidated balance sheets. 

The Company evaluates the need for a returns reserve quarterly and adjusts it when events indicate that a change in estimate is appropriate. Changes in estimates could materially affect the Company’s results of operations or financial position. It is possible that the Company may need to adjust its estimates in future periods.

Sales Tax and Surcharge Expense

Sales taxes and surcharge costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expense. The Company is generally subject to a 5-6.42% business tax and surcharge for services provided related to marketing products under the relevant taxation laws in China. Sales tax and surcharge costs amounted to approximately $3.4 million, $2.5 million, and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include salaries and other personnel-related expenses, including associated stock-based compensation, facility-related expenses, depreciation of facilities and equipment, upfront payments under in-licensing agreements with certain business partners and other license-related fees, and services performed by clinical research organizations and research institutions and other outside service providers.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases and product shipments are included in cost of product sales for all periods presented.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses for all periods presented. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, were $4.1 million, $2.6 million, and $1.1 million, respectively.

Legal Costs

Legal costs related to loss contingencies are expensed to general and administrative expense as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). Stock-based compensation expense for stock options and the employee stock purchase plan is estimated at the date of grant based on the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense for RSUs and PSUs are estimated at the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense values for stock options, RSUs and the ESPP are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The stock-based compensation costs that are ultimately expected to vest are recognized as expense ratably (as the awards vest) over the requisite service period, which is generally one or four years for stock options and RSUs and three months for the ESPP. The Company estimates pre-vesting forfeitures at the time of grant by analyzing historical data and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The total expense recognized over the vesting period will only be for those awards that ultimately vest. The Company recognizes expense related to the PSUs and performance stock options over the implicit service period if it is probable that the performance goals will be achieved. If it is subsequently determined that the performance goals are not probable of achievement, the expense related to the PSUs or performance stock options is reversed.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. When the Company establishes or reduces the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, its provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made.

The Company records liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with the guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company does not believe any such uncertain tax positions currently pending will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements, although an adverse resolution of one or more of these uncertain tax positions in any period could have a material impact on the results of operations for that period. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The amount of accrued interest related to tax positions taken on the Company’s tax returns and included in accrued and other current liabilities was $1.7 million and $1.5 million, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The amount of interest recognized as tax expense related to uncertain tax positions in the consolidated statements of income was $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common equivalent shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share includes any dilutive impact from outstanding stock options, stock awards and the ESPP using the treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the years ended December 31 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, outstanding stock options and awards for 312,500,  50,000, and 50,171 shares, respectively, subject to performance conditions were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the performance criteria had not been or were not probable to be met.

Segment Information

The Company operates in two segments (refer to Note 20).

Revision

In the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company reduced the line item “Inventories” and increased the line item “Provision for expiring inventory” in the amount of $0.5 million within the reconciling adjustments to arrive at net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 to correct an error in the prior year presentation. This revision had no impact on cash provided by operating activities. The amount of the error was not material to the annual period of 2014.

New Accounting Standards Updates

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASU 2014-09”), which contains new accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, which reflects a one year deferral approved by the FASB in July 2015, with early application permitted provided that the effective date is not earlier than the original effective date. The Company is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" (“ASU 2015-11”) which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out ("LIFO"). This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company has evaluated the impact of adopting this guidance and has concluded it will likely have no effect on the financial statements as the Company’s adjustments already reflect the concept of net realizable value. Inventory provisions are generally full write-downs for the affected inventory.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. This ASU amends existing guidance to require that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet, and eliminates the prior guidance which required an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets into a current amount and a noncurrent amount in a classified balance sheet. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. Additionally, the new guidance may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company has not yet selected an adoption method. The impact of adopting this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements given the Company’s deferred tax amounts.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases”. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
