Recent accounting pronouncements, policy
In May of 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASU 2014-09"). Under ASU 2014-09, an entity is required to follow a five-step process to determine the amount of revenue to recognize when promised goods or services are transferred to customers. ASU 2014-09 offers specific accounting guidance for costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. In addition, an entity is required to disclose sufficient information to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date" ("ASU 2015-14"), to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Originally, for public companies, ASU 2014-09 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including periods within that reporting period, and could be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of adoption, with early adoption not permitted. For public companies, ASU 2015-14 changes ASU 2014-09 to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including periods within that reporting period, and can be adopted retrospectively or as a cumulative effective adjustment at the date of adoption, with early adoption allowed, but not before ASU 2014-09's original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning with its first quarter ending March 31, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential future impact, if any, of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In January of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20)" ("ASU 2015-01"). ASU 2015-01 eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items; such that, an entity will no longer need to assess whether a particular event or transaction event is extraordinary. ASU 2015-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including periods within that reporting period, and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning with its first quarter ending March 31, 2016. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In April of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)" ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. In August of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015, EITF Meeting" ("ASU 2015-15"), to update ASU 2015-03 to reflect a Securities and Exchange Commission change. ASU 2015-15 allows an entity, in the case of a line-of-credit arrangement, to either follow ASU 2015-03 or defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratable over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including periods within that reporting period, requires retrospective application, and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance with its first quarter ending March 31, 2016. The application of this guidance affects classification only, and therefore, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
