Accounting Pronouncements
Discontinued Operations
The FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which amends ASC 205, "Presentation of Financial Statements," and ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment." The provisions of this update change the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as a discontinued operation and modifies existing disclosure requirements. The provisions of this update were effective as of January 1, 2015. The effects of adoption were not significant.
Revenue Recognition
The FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which amends existing revenue recognition guidance and requires additional financial statement disclosures. The provisions of this update were to be effective as of January 1, 2017; however, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which defers the effective date to January 1, 2018. The provisions of this update may be applied through a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update.
Going Concern
The FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern," which will require management to make a going concern assessment for 24 months after the financial statement date. Previously, this assessment was made by the external auditors. The provisions of this update are effective as of December 31, 2016, and are not expected to significantly impact the Company.
Extraordinary Items
The FASB issued ASU 2015-01, "Income Statement — Extraordinary and Unusual Items," which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. The provisions of this update are effective as of January 1, 2016, and are not expected to significantly impact the Company.
Consolidation
The FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," which provides guidance related to the application of both the variable interest and voting interest consolidation models. The provisions of this update are effective as of January 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update.
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
For further information, see Note 6, "Debt."
Inventory
The FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market. The provisions of this update are effective as of January 1, 2017 (with early adoption permitted) and are not expected to significantly impact the Company.
Business Combinations
The FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments," which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. The provisions of this update are effective as of January 1, 2016 and are not expected to significantly impact the Company.
Deferred Taxes
For further information, see Note 7, "Income Taxes."
Financial Instruments
The FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which requires the fair value measurement of investments in equity securities and other ownership interests that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method. Such ownership interests include interests in investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies. The provisions of this update contain a practicability exception for qualifying investments and are effective as of January 1, 2018 (with early adoption permitted). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update.
