Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which standardizes cash flow statement classification of certain transactions, including cash payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment, proceeds from insurance claim settlements, and distributions received from equity method investments. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  We are considering the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-15 may have on our presentation of cash flows.

From May 2014 through December 2016, the FASB issued several ASUs related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  These ASUs are intended to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts.  The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, although entities may adopt one year earlier if they choose.  The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application.  We do not currently anticipate there would be any change to timing or method of recognizing revenue.  As such, we do not believe this new standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which would require disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods thereafter. We adopted ASU 2014-15 as of December 31, 2016, which did not have a significant impact on our financial statement disclosures.
