Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed therein.

Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 clarifies the classification of receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance related to (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement and payment of zero coupon debt instruments, (3) contingent consideration, (4) proceeds from settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from settlement of corporate and bank owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions from equity method investees, (7) cash receipts from beneficial interests obtained by a transferor, and (8) general guidelines for cash receipts and payments that have more than one aspect of classification. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adopting this guidance will have on future financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this update involve several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update clarify the implementation guidance on principals versus agent considerations in FASB ASC 606. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09 described below. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The amendments in this update include a new FASB ASC Topic 842, which supersedes Topic 840. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of interim or annual reporting periods. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which converges the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board standard on revenue recognition. Areas of revenue recognition that will be affected include, but are not limited to, transfer of control, variable consideration, allocation of transfer pricing, licenses, time value of money, contract costs and disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB amended the effective date and early adoption is permitted only for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

The FASB has also issued the following standards which provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09 and have the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606). We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the related ASU 2014-09 standards will have on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, of all recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures and, if significant, makes the appropriate disclosures required by such new accounting pronouncements.
