Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU No. 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, and not recorded as separate assets. This update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have on our financial position and results of operations. We plan to adopt ASU 2015-03 in the first quarter of 2016.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern.  This new standard defines management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.  The standard is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter.  We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have on our financial position and results of operations.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  This new standard provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resulting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP.  The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have on our financial position and results of operations.
