New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised 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 or services. Additionally, this guidance expands related disclosure requirements. In August 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance deferring the effective date for all entities by one year. Public business entities should apply the guidance to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance related to accounting for share-based payments for certain performance stock awards. The effective date of this guidance is for annual periods and interim periods within those periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance regarding management's going concern evaluations. The guidance requires management to evaluate, at each interim and annual reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and provide related disclosures. The guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter, and early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the standard will have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.

In June 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance covering a wide range of topics in the codification to make minor corrections or minor improvements. These changes are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost. The guidance is effective for all entities beginning after December 15, 2015, and for annual and interim periods thereafter, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance regarding presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements, adding SEC paragraphs in conjunction with simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance regarding business combinations for which the accounting is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, and during the measurement period have an adjustment to provisional amounts recognized. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments in this update eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this update, with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
