In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”  ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  This standard also specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.  This ASU will supersede much of the existing revenue recognition guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period; early application is permitted for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.  The Company is evaluating which transition method to apply and the estimated impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.”  The amendments in this ASU will affect all companies that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate another entity. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU rescind the indefinite deferral of FASB Statement 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(r)” included in FASB ASU 2010-10, “ConsolidationAmendments for Certain Investment Funds.”  ASU 2015-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period; early adoption is permitted.  This standard permits the use of either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating which approach to apply and the estimated impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.”  The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.  The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU.  ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period; early adoption is permitted.  The Company believes that the adoption of this ASU in 2016 will result in an immaterial impact to our consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.”  ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license.  If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer would account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with its accounting for the acquisition of other software licenses.  If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer would account for the arrangement as a service contract.  The proposed guidance would not change GAAP for a customer’s accounting of software license or service contracts.  This standard will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted.  The Company believes that the adoption of this ASU in 2016 will result in an immaterial impact to our consolidated financial statements.
