RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In
May
2014,
the FASB issued ASU No. 
2014
-
09,
which amends ASC Topic
606,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The amendments in this ASU are intended to provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability of revenue recognition practices and improve disclosure requirements. The amendments in this accounting standard update are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December
 
15,
2016.
In
April
2015,
the FASB issued ASU No.
2015
-
24,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date which proposed a deferral of the effective date by
one
year, and on
July
7,
2015,
the FASB decided to delay the effective date by
one
year. The deferral results in the new revenue standard being effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after
December
15,
2017.
We are therefore required to apply the new revenue guidance beginning in our
2018
interim and annual financial statements. This ASU can be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Entities reporting under U.S. GAAP are not permitted to adopt this standard earlier than the original effective date for public entities (that is, no earlier than
2017
for calendar year-end entities.) We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and financial disclosures. Based on our procedures to date, we believe that the adoption will not have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows although our disclosures will be expanded. We expect to adopt ASU

under the modified retrospective method. Given the nature of our business and that our sales generally occur at the counter or by shipment through common carrier at observable transaction prices with little, if any, variable consideration factors, we do not expect there to be significant changes to the amount and timing of revenue recognition. Finally, while we offer an unconditional right of return to our customers, this has historically been immaterial to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows (annual gross product returns represent less than
0.5%
of our net sales).
 
 
In
November
2015,
the FASB issued ASU

-
17,
which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and non-current amounts. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December
15,
2016,
and
may
be adopted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We early adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis, and there was no material impact to our financial statements or disclosures in our financial statements.
 
In
February
2016,
the FASB issued ASU
2016
-
02,
“Leases”, a comprehensive new standard that amends various aspects of existing accounting guidance for leases, including the recognition of a right of use asset and a lease liability for leases with a duration greater than
one
year. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December
15,
2018,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We have not completed our review of the new guidance; however, we anticipate that upon adoption of the standard, using a modified retrospective approach, we will recognize additional assets and corresponding liabilities related to leases on our balance sheet.
