RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
“Leases (Topic 842),”
which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with a term of more than one year. Accounting by lessors will remain similar to existing generally accepted accounting principles. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes
” which amended accounting guidance related to the presentation of deferred tax liabilities and assets. The amended guidance requires that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 during the quarter ended December 31, 2015. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.
 
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “
Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory
(Topic 330 ),”
which revises the measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or market. Currently, market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. In accordance with ASU 2015-11, an entity will measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendment does not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first out (LIFO). The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; however, early adoption is permitted.
The Company currently does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),
” which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
