New Accounting Guidance [Abstract]
New Accounting Guidance	15. New Accounting Guidance a. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard to simplify the presentation of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet, as opposed to being presented as current and noncurrent. This guidance is required to be adopted for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted, and may be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively. The Company early adopted this new standard as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, applying it prospectively. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard to simplify an acquirer’s accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. The guidance requires the acquirer to recognize any adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined, as opposed to retrospectively applying adjustments to prior periods presented in financial statements. Thus, the acquirer will adjust its financial statements as needed, including recognizing in its current period earnings the effect 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. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted, and the update must be applied prospectively. The Company early adopted this new standard during the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, applying it prospectively. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. b. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard which will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The new standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard deferring the effective date of this accounting guidance by one year. Therefore, the accounting standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this standard and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact this new standard may have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability on the balance sheet, consistent with the presentation for debt discounts. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard to address the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The guidance allows an entity to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the 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 guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis and is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory accounted for under the last-in, first-out or the retail inventory methods. The new standard replaces the current lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. Under the current guidance, market could be replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This guidance should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact this new standard may have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Early application is permitted only for certain provisions, and the update must be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of the standard. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new standard may have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard revising lease accounting. The new guidance requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early application of the new standard is permitted and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard will impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new standard will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
