3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (Topic 350) (“ASU No. 2017-04”). The amendments in ASU No. 2017-04 are intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test by eliminating Step 2 from the that impairment test. The amendments modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under the amendments in ASU No. 2017-04, an entity will perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in ASU No. 2017-04 are effective for the Company’s annual or any interim goodwill impairment test in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2017-04 will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures, but it is not expected to have a material impact.

Business Combinations  Clarifying the Definition of a Business — In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations  Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (Topic 805) (“ASU No. 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides a framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. ASU 2017-01 provides more consistency in applying the business combination guidance, reduces the costs of application, and makes the definition of a business more operable. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2017-01 will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures, but it is not expected to have a material impact.

Compensation  Stock Compensation — In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation  Stock Compensation” (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840)” and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the statement of financial position. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of this ASU are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes — On November 20, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740). Update No. 2015-17 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 effective December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. Adoption of this ASU resulted in a reclassification of the Company’s net current deferred tax assets to net non-current deferred tax assets in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted as allowed by this ASU.

 

Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory — In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. Update No. 2015-11 more closely aligns the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards by requiring companies using the first-in, first-out and average costs methods to measure inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value, where net realizable value is the estimated distribution prices of the inventory in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Update No. 2015-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Update No. 2015-11should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows and has not  yet determined if it will early adopt the ASU.

Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern — In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40).” The new guidance addresses management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued. The standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company has adopted this standard and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs — In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest  Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (Topic 835) (“ASU No. 2015-03”). ASU No. 2015-03 simplifies the accounting for debt issuance costs by requiring such costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. ASU No. 2015-03 requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016 and has presented debt issuance costs of $403 as of both December 31, 2016 and 2015 as a direct deduction from the carrying amounts of its debt liabilities. The December 31, 2015 amount was previously recorded in “Other assets-net”.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers — In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. As updated in August 2015, the effective date of ASU 2014-09 will be annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, using one of two retrospective application methods.

In March and April 2016, the FASB issued two updates to the revenue recognition guidance: ASU 2016-08 “Principal Versus Agent Considerations” (Topic 606) (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net), and ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (Topic 606).

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2016-12 “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (Topic 606) (“ASU 2016-12”) which narrowly amended the revenue recognition guidance regarding collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition.

The Company has not determined the impact ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. However, we have completed our preliminary assessment, which included a review of a subset of representative contracts. During 2017, we will expand the scope of our assessment to include all contracts with customers.
