NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The objective of this guidance is to establish the principles to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance in the update is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Term of Award Provides That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The guidance in the update is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as Going Concern. This ASU is intended to define management’s responsibilities to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as going concern and provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
