2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued updated guidance on accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of this guidance is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model, to remove existing industry specific guidance and to expand qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The core principle of the new standard is for revenue recognition to depict transfer of control to the customer in an amount that reflects consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled. In August 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to the updated guidance that defers the effective date by one year. This guidance is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In July 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance to simplify the measurement of inventory. Under this amendment, an entity using an inventory method other than last-in, first out or the retail inventory method should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new guidance clarifies that net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively with earlier adoption permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

In April 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this update require 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. In August 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance which clarifies the treatment of debt issuance costs from line-of-credit arrangements. In particular, this guidance clarifies that the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of such arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied on a retrospective basis with earlier adoption permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
