12.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

    In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a new standard on revenue recognition.  The new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and apply to all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to customers.  The guidance also addresses the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain non-financial assets, such as real estate, and property and equipment.  The new standard will become effective for us beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

    In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Going Concern.  This standard requires management to evaluate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether or not it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.  The new standard will apply to all entities and will be effective for us in the fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

    In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest. This standard requires management to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by presenting the costs related to obtaining a debt liability as a direct deduction from that debt liability. The debt issuance costs, or discount, is amortized over the life of the debt liability. The new standard is effective for us in fiscal 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this update for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015. Refer to Note 11 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT” for further discussion of the new credit facility with QVT Fund LP and Quintessence Fund L.P.

 

    In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory. This standard requires management to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This new standard will be effective for us in the fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
