Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted by the Company

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which requires only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on operations and financial results to be presented in discontinued operations.   This guidance also requires expanded financial disclosures about discontinued operations and significant disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations.  This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations upon implementation in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  This guidance substantially converges final standards on revenue recognition between the FASB and IASB providing a framework on addressing revenue recognition issues. Upon the effective date, the ASU replaces almost all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance, in United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").  This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures upon implementation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.
