   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
 
The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of
June 30, 2017
and
September 30, 2016,
and the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Loss, and Cash Flows for the
three
and
nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016
are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and with the same instructions to Form
10
-Q and Regulation S-
X,
and in the opinion of the Company’s management have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2016.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at
June 30, 2017
and
September 30, 2016
and its results of operations and cash flows for the
three
and
nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016.
The results for the
three
and
nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
September 30, 2017.
The accompanying
September 30, 2016
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does
not
include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.
 
Subsequent Events
 
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and concluded there were
no
material subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except as already disclosed in these financial statements.
 
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: Topic
606
(ASU
2014
-
09
), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU
2014
-
09
is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU
2014
-
09
defines a
five
step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates
may
be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In
July 2015,
the FASB approved a
one
-year delay in the effective date. ASU
2014
-
09
is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2017,
including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU
2014
-
09
on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In
November 2015,
the FASB issued ASU
2015
-
17,
Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, (the “Update”), which eliminates the current requirement to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, entities will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The Update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2016
and interim periods within those annual periods. Management does
not
expect the adoption of this Update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In
February 2016,
the FASB issued ASU
No.

02,
which is guidance on accounting for leases. ASU
No,
2016
-
02
requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2018.
Early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
 
In
March 2016,
the FASB issued ASU
No.
2016
-
09,
which amended guidance related to employee share-based payment accounting. The new guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, the amendments in this standard are effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2016,
and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Management does
not
expect the adoption of this Standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In
August 2016,
the FASB issued ASU

-
15,
which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows, specifically certain cash receipts and cash payments. The standard is effective for public business entities financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective method.
Management does
not
expect the adoption of this Standard to have a material impact on our consolidated cash flows.
 
In
November 2016,
the FASB issued ASU
No.
2016

18
which requires entities to include in their cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. As a result, companies will
no
longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2017.
Early adoption of ASU

on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In

the FASB issued ASU

to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step
2
of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value,
not
to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods ending
December 31, 2020
and thereafter with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In
January 2017,
the FASB issued ASU
No.

01,
which amended the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic
805
Business Combinations. The standard provides additional guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. ASU

is effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2017,
including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
 
All other Accounting Standards Updates issued but
not
yet effective are
not
expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future financial statements.
