In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 provides a single principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps are to identify the contract(s) with the customer, to identify the performance obligations in the contact, to determine the transaction price, to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and to recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018 and the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and the presentation of our financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest’ (“ASU No. 2015-03”). ASU No. 2015-03 requires 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. Debt issuance costs are currently required to be capitalized and presented in the balance sheet as deferred charges or assets. The recognition and measurement for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU No. 2015-03. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company has recognized these types of costs related to its senior credit facilities which will be reclassified from other assets to long-term debt liabilities when the Company adopts ASU No. 2015-03.
