3. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which states that the SEC would not object to the balance sheet presentation of the costs associated with the line-of-credit arrangement as an asset that would be amortized ratably over the term of the arrangement. Both updates are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. We do not expect the adoption of these ASUs to have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by one year, which would result in the new standard being effective for the Company at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. We have not evaluated the impact of the new standard, including possible transition alternatives, on the Company’s financial statements.
