Note 3 — Accounting Changes

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Extraordinary Items. In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance which eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item. Under current accounting guidance, to be considered an extraordinary item an event or transaction must be both unusual in nature and must occur infrequently. Under the new guidance, the concept of an extraordinary item has been eliminated. As a result, an entity will no longer be permitted to segregate an extraordinary item from its results of operations; present an extraordinary item, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or disclose earnings per share data applicable to an extraordinary item. The new guidance does not affect, however, the reporting and disclosure requirements for an event that is unusual in nature or that occurs infrequently. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively or retrospectively. If an entity chooses to apply the new guidance prospectively, it must disclose whether amounts included in income from continuing operations include items that would have qualified as extraordinary items previously. We expect to adopt the new guidance in Fiscal 2017.

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance included in the ASC. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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 or services. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in Fiscal 2018 and allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
