NOTE 15. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Under current accounting, deferred taxes for each jurisdiction are presented as a net current asset or liability and net noncurrent asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis generally based on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlying temporary differences relate. The updated standard simplifies the presentation and requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The updated guidance does not change the existing requirement that prohibits companies from offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets of another jurisdiction. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as it only pertains to a change in the balance sheet presentation of deferred taxes.

     In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Replacing the concept of market with the single measurement of net realizable value is intended to create efficiencies for preparers of financial statements. The updated standard defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires all 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. 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 will require the Company to reclassify debt financing costs, currently recorded as assets, as a direct deduction from the carrying value of debt. 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.

     In May 2015, the FASB issued a proposal to amend certain aspects of the new revenue standard, specifically the guidance on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The proposed amendments clarify the guidance on determining if the promises in a contract are "distinct" goods or services and therefore, should be accounted for separately. The FASB's proposal also (1) clarifies that entities are not required to identify promised goods or services that are immaterial in the context of the contract, and (2) allows entities to elect to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost rather than as an additional promised service.

     Subsequently in July 2015, based on the comments received, discussions with various stakeholders, and potential forthcoming amendments to the new revenue standard, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. The FASB also decided that companies could choose to adopt the new standard one year earlier which would have been the original effective date. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
