Significant Accounting Policies	(2) Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, except for the adoption of new accounting standards during the first nine months of 2017 as discussed below. Newly-Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard which involves 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. The Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine stock-based compensation expense. Upon adoption, the Company’s gross deferred tax assets and corresponding valuation allowance each increased by $17.7 million related to tax deductions from the exercise of stock options that previously would have been credited to additional paid-in-capital when realized. On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. A goodwill impairment will be measured by the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, with the amount of impairment not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In May 2014, the FASB issued a new U.S GAAP accounting standard that updates guidance and disclosure requirements for recognizing revenue. The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers 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 and services. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and can be applied using one of two methods: retrospectively to each prior period presented or a modified retrospective application by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment as a component of equity as of the date of adoption. The Company expects to adopt the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective application method. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company plans to finalize its assessments over the impact that these standards may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company plans to implement additional processes and controls, including additional disclosures, to comply with the new standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard which requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued new U.S. GAAP guidance which clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for the company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
