New Accounting Standards And Tax Legislation

NOTE 16. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND TAX LEGISLATION

     On April 7, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The updated standard requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt. Prior to the issuance of the updated standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. The guidance in the updated standard is limited to the presentation of debt issuance costs. The updated standard does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs, and the amortization of such costs will continue to be calculated using the interest method and be reported as interest expense. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new guidance is required to be applied retrospectively and early adoption is permitted.

     In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued a converged standard, Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. The new standard will require companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date of the new standard by one year. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. The FASB plans to issue its decision related to the deferral of the effective date for public comment sometime during the second quarter of 2015.

     In June 2014, the FASB issued an update to Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This update is intended to resolve the diverse accounting treatment of those awards in practice, and requires that the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2016. The new guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and early application is permitted. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding awards to which this new guidance would apply.

     On December 19, 2014, the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 (H.R. 5771) was signed into law extending certain expiring provisions, including the Section 41 research credit. The new legislation applies retrospectively to January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and resulted in a net tax benefit of $160,000 for fiscal year 2014, which was recorded on a discrete basis in the second quarter and third quarter of fiscal 2015. This tax benefit was fully offset by a U.S. valuation allowance.
