In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,  which supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements and provides a new comprehensive revenue recognition model.  The underlying principle of the new standard requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  This ASU will be adopted by the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2018.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

 

On November 20, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.”  Pursuant to this update, all deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any related valuation allowances are required to be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The classification change for all deferred taxes as non-current simplifies entities’ processes as it eliminates the need to separately identify the net current and net non-current deferred tax asset or liability in each jurisdiction and allocate valuation allowances. The Company elected to retrospectively adopt this accounting standard in the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and as a result, prior periods in our Consolidated Financial Statements were adjusted.

 

On September 25, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, requiring an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined and to present or disclose the portion of the amount of adjustment recorded in current-period earnings by the line item where the adjustment would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment had been recognized as of the acquisition date.  The Company has elected to adopt the accounting standard at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and does not anticipate a significant impact to the Company’s financial position as a result of this change.
