         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  
 
Basis of Presentation
—These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Accordingly, they do
not
include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016.
 
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period
’s consolidated financial statements and related footnotes to conform them to the current period presentation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the financial position as of, and the results of operations for, all periods presented. In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results
may
differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are
not
necessarily indicative of annual results.
 
Reclassifications
—The Company’s financial statements for prior periods include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
—In
May 2014,
the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014
-
09,
Revenue from
Contracts with Customers
, and in
August 2015
the FASB issued ASU
2015
-
14,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date
, which defers the effective date of ASU
2014
-
09
by
one
year. ASU
2014
-
09
supersedes 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 that more judgment and estimates
may
be required within the revenue recognition process than is required under present U.S. GAAP. These
may
include 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. The new standard 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. ASU
2014
-
09
is effective for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2017.
The Company plans to adopt this standard on
January 1, 2018
and intends to elect the modified retrospective method of adoption. 
The Company does
not
anticipate a significant impact on our financial statements and disclosures. Our evaluation is
not
final and we continue to assess the impact the updated standard will have on our revenue contracts.
 
In
February 2016,
the FASB issued ASU
2016
-
02,
Leases
, which aims to make leasing activities more transparent and comparable and requires substantially all leases be recognized by lessees on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, including leases currently accounted for as operating leases. This ASU is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2019,
with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU
No.
2016
-
02
for the fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2019
and is in the process of assessing the impact that this new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
 
In
September 2016,
the FASB issued ASU

-
13,
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
. ASU
2016
-
13
was issued to provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. ASU
2016
-
13
is effective for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2019
using a modified retrospective adoption method. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact this accounting standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
