Under ASU 2014-09 and its subsequent amendments, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will be effective for the Company January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On July 22, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The new standard requires entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is a change from the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market with market defined as replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less a normal profit margin. The ASU will not apply to inventories that are measured by using either the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or the retail inventory method. It will be effective for the Company on January 2, 2017.

Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet.
