18.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which will require organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. This ASU is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

        In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 to simplify income tax accounting. The update requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and may be adopted earlier on a voluntary basis. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance during the fourth quarter of 2015 and have applied a full retrospective approach to all periods presented. Current deferred income tax assets of $5,977,000 as of September 30, 2014 have been reclassified and presented as a reduction to deferred income tax liabilities, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations — Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments". ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment, including the effect on earnings of any amounts it would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not materially affect the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or financial statement disclosures.

        In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern" (Subtopic 205-40). This ASU provides guidance on management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and in certain circumstances to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

        In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 that introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, but only for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and the method of adoption.
