Schedule of Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Include:
Title and reference |  | Prescribed Effective Date |  | Commentary
ASU No. 2105-16, “Business Combinations” (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. |  | Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. |  | In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations” (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2105-16 requires that (i) an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, (ii) the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date, and (iii) an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that have reported provisional amounts for items in a business combination for which the accounting is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs and during the measurement period have an adjustment to provisional amounts recognized. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this guidance are not expected to have a significant impact on our Financial Statements upon adoption.
ASU No. 2015-15, “Interest—Imputation of Interest” (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements. |  | Effective upon issuance |  | In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, “Interest—Imputation of Interest” (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (“ASU 2015-15). In ASU 2015 -15, the SEC adds guidance to Subtopic 835-30 pursuant to the SEC Staff Announcement at the June 18, 2015 Emerging Issues Task Force meeting about the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest—Imputation of Interest” (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. According to the SEC, the guidance in ASU 2015-03 does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The guidance in ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance in ASU 2015-15 is effective upon issuance. The guidance in ASU 2015-15 and ASU 2015-03 are not expected to have a significant impact on our Financial Statements upon adoption.
ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. |  | Effective upon issuance |  | In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 effectively defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), by one year for all entities. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 with an effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period for public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans. The effective date for all other entities was for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2015-14 is effective upon issuance. ASU 2015-14 is not expected to have a significant impact on our Financial Statements.
Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, “Inventory” (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. |  | Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods therein. |  | I n July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory” (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring certain inventory to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods therein and are not expected to have a significant impact on our Financial Statements upon adoption.
ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest” (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. |  | Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years |  | In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest” (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-.03"). ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs from an asset to a direct deduction from the related liability. This guidance, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, may be early adopted for financial statements that have not been previously issued and its provisions are to be retrospectively applied as a change in accounting principle. Upon adoption, this guidance is expected to decrease Other Assets, which includes our deferred financing costs on our debt obligations, and comparably decrease Long-term debt on our Balance Sheets. This guidance is not expected to have any impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
ASU No. 2015-04, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits” (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets. |  | Interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. |  | I n April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-04, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits” (Topic 715). ASU 2015-04 will allow employers with fiscal year ends that do not coincide with a calendar month end to make an accounting policy election to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the end of the month closest to their fiscal year ends (i.e., on an alternative measurement date). An employer that makes this election must consistently apply the practical expedient from year to year and to all of its defined benefit plans. ASU 2015-04 will be effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015; prospective application is required and early adoption is permitted. The Company's fiscal year end is September 30 and the Company has a defined retirement plan. This guidance is not expected to have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation" (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Process. |  | Annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. |  | In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation" (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Process ("ASU 2015-02") . ASU 2015-02 amends the consolidation analysis for limited partnerships and other variable interest entities ("VIEs"). This guidance, which is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, is not expected to have a significant impact on our Financial Statements upon adoption.
ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - “Extraordinary and Unusual Items” (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying the Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. |  | Fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. |  | In January 2015,the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - “Extraordinary and Unusual Items” (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying the Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items ("ASU 2015-.01"). ASU 2015-.01 eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.
ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern” (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainty about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. |  | Fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. |  | In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern” (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainty about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance that establishes management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and setting rules for how this information should be disclosed in the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2017 and do not expect it to have a material impact on our Financial Statements upon adoption.
ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”(Topic 718):Accounting for Share-based Payments. |  | Annual and interim periods within the annual period beginning after December 15, 2015. |  | I n June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”(Topic 718):Accounting for Share-based Payments ("ASU 2014-12"). ASU 2014-12 provides guidance that impacts the accounting for share-based performance awards. This guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods within the annual period beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not currently have share-based payment awards that fall within the scope of this guidance and therefore do not anticipate an impact on our Financial Statements upon adoption.

- Definition Tabular disclosure of an equity-based arrangement (such as stock or unit options and stock or unit awards) with an individual employee, which is generally an employment contract between the entity and a selected officer or key employee containing a promise by the employer to pay certain equity-based awards at future dates, sometimes including a period after retirement, upon compliance with stipulated requirements. This type of arrangement is distinguished from broader based employee benefit plans as it is usually tailored to the employee. Disclosure also typically includes the amount of related compensation expense recognized during the reporting period, the number of shares or units issued during the period under such arrangements, and the carrying amount as of the balance sheet date of the related liability. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 710 -SubTopic 10 -Section 30 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6409875&loc=d3e20015-108363 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 718 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 2 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6415400&loc=d3e5070-113901 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 710 -SubTopic 10 -Section 55 -Paragraph 7 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6409961&loc=d3e20487-108367 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 710 -SubTopic 10 -Section 55 -Paragraph 8 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6409961&loc=d3e20517-108367 Reference 5: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 718 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6415400&loc=d3e5047-113901 + Details

The entity need not disclose the identity of a major customer or the amount of revenues that each segment reports from that customer. For these purposes, a group of companies known to the entity to be under common control is considered a single customer, and the federal government, a state government, a local government such as a county or municipality, or a foreign government is each considered a single customer. + References No definition available. + Details
