10. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate for each annual and interim reporting period whether conditions or events give rise to substantial doubt that an entity has the ability to continue as a going concern within one year following issuance of the financial statements and requires specific disclosures regarding the conditions or events leading to substantial doubt. The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-05,
Customer’s
Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
s
, which provides guidance to assist entities in determining whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license. The ASU states that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, and allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
