New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new revenue recognition guidance under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 that will supersede the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The new standard focuses on creating a single source of revenue guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers for all industries. The objective of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue when it transfers the promised goods or services to its customers at an amount that represents what the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of the effective date. If approved, the effective date will change to December 15, 2017 and the FASB has also proposed that early adoption will then be permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 requiring management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, which is currently performed by the external auditors. Management will be required to perform this assessment for both interim and annual reporting periods and must make certain disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 amending current guidance for debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than as an asset. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
