Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the indicated periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 , filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015. Reverse Stock Split Effective April 22, 2015, the Company implemented a reverse stock split, whereby each six shares of outstanding common stock pre-split was converted into one share of common stock post-split (the “reverse stock split”). All share and per share amounts for all periods presented herein have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the first period presented. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on certain assumptions. Estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses attributable to the reporting periods. Accordingly, accounting estimates in conformity with U.S. GAAP require the exercise of judgment. These estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and while management believes that the estimates and assumptions are appropriate, actual results could differ from management's estimates. Estimates that may have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position and results from operations include share-based compensation assumptions, oil and natural gas reserve quantities, depletion and amortization relating to oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligation assumptions, and income taxes. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained and our operating environment changes. Capitalized Interest The Company capitalizes interest costs for qualifying oil and gas properties. The capitalization period begins when expenditures are incurred on qualified properties, activities begin which are necessary to prepare the property for production, and interest costs have been incurred. The capitalization period continues as long as these events occur. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is depleted using the unit-of-production method in the same manner as the underlying assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company capitalized $2.2 million and $0.2 million , respectively, in interest cost as additions to property, plant and equipment related to the Oyo field redevelopment campaign. Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Basic net earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the reporting period. Diluted net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the fully diluted common stock equivalent, which consists of shares outstanding, augmented by potentially dilutive shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, warrants, and conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Note, calculated using the treasury stock method. The table below sets forth the number of shares issuable pursuant to stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, and shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Note that were excluded from diluted shares outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , as these securities are anti-dilutive because the Company was in a loss position for each period. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ( In thousands ) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Stock options 1,476 1,189 1,119 1,216 Stock warrants 1,046 — 426 — Unvested restricted stock awards 1,348 1,076 1,324 977 Convertible note 11,632 11,632 11,632 8,355 15,502 13,897 14,501 10,548 Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company is also contingently liable to make additional payments to Allied, under the Transfer Agreement, up to an additional amount totaling $50.0 million in cash, or the equivalent in shares of the Company’s common stock, at Allied’s option. See Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies for further information. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, inventory, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and debts at floating interest rates, approximate their fair values at June 30, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , respectively, principally due to the short-term nature, maturities or nature of interest rates of the above listed items. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. ASU No. 2015-01 eliminates from US GAAP the concept of extraordinary items, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and the Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which is guidance for the reporting of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability on an entity's balance sheet. Under the guidance, an entity must report debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the treatment for debt discounts. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company will adopt this standards update beginning with the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in Cloud Computing Arrangement. ASU 2015-05 is new guidance to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and the Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115. The amendments in ASU 2015-08 amend various SEC paragraphs included in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115 (“SAB 115”). SAB 115 rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins series and brings existing guidance into conformity with ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting,” which provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The Company has adopted the amendments in ASU 2015-08, effective May 8, 2015, as the amendments in the update are effective upon issuance. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

Liquidity Matters [Abstract] | |
Liquidity Matters | Liquidity Matters The Company’s primary cash requirements are for capital expenditures for the redevelopment of the Oyo field in Nigeria, operating expenditures for the Oyo field, exploration activities in its unevaluated leaseholds, working capital needs, and interest and principal payments under current indebtedness. Crude oil production is a primary source of operating cash for the Company. The Company commenced production from the Oyo-8 well in early May 2015 and from the Oyo-7 well in mid-June 2015. After a period of retooling and optimization, the current combined production rate from the two wells is approximately 13,100 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD") (approximately 11,500 BOPD net to the Company after royalty). In July 2015, the Company lifted and sold approximately 312,000 Bbls of crude oil ( 274,000 Bbls net to the Company) at a price of $55.78 /Bbls. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $15.3 million . Further, the Company expects to sell approximately 650,000 Bbls of crude oil in August 2015 ( 572,000 Bbls net to the Company). If actual production rates decline substantially below anticipated rates, or if oil prices decline significantly from current levels, the Company may need to seek additional sources of capital. In March 2015, the Company entered into a borrowing facility with Allied for a Convertible Note (the "2015 Convertible Note"), separate from the existing $25.0 million Promissory Note and the $50.0 million Convertible Subordinated Note, allowing the Company to borrow up to $50.0 million for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2015, the outstanding principal under the 2015 Convertible Note was $44.0 million . Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company borrowed additional funds totaling $4.0 million under the note. See Note 7 - Debt for additional information. In May 2015, the Company executed a term sheet for a commodity-based Full Recourse Prepayment Facility (the “Prepayment Facility”) with Glencore Energy UK Ltd. The Prepayment Facility, which is subject to completion of legal documentation and certain conditions precedent, would provide proceeds in two tranches. The initial tranche, a term prepayment facility, would be available to the Company in drawdowns totaling up to $50.0 million towards the Oyo field redevelopment program, and would depend on the Company’s ability to meet certain production targets. The second tranche consists of an inventory revolving facility up to a total of $100.0 million . The Company expects the Prepayment Facility to be finalized during the third quarter of 2015. In July 2015, the Company received $13.0 million as an advance under a stand-alone spot sales contract with Glencore Energy UK Ltd. (the “July Advance”). Interest accrued on the July Advance at the rate of LIBOR plus 6.5% . Repayment of the July Advance was made from the July crude oil lifting. In August 2015, the Company received another advance amounting to $26.5 million under a stand-alone spot sales contract with Glencore Energy UK Ltd. (the “August Advance”). Interest accrues on the August Advance at the rate of LIBOR plus 6.5% . Repayment of the August Advance will be made from the August crude oil lifting. The Company’s majority shareholder has formally committed to provide the Company with additional funding, the form of which would be determined at the time of funding, sufficient to maintain the Company’s operations and to allow the Company to meet its current and future obligations as they become due for one year from March 12, 2015, the date of said commitment. |

Extractive Industries [Abstract] | |
Suspended Exploratory Well Costs | Suspended Exploratory Well Costs In November 2013, the Company achieved both its primary and secondary drilling objectives for the Oyo-7 well. The primary drilling objective was to establish production from the existing Pliocene reservoir. The secondary drilling objective was to confirm the presence of hydrocarbons in the deeper Miocene formation. Hydrocarbons were encountered in three intervals totaling approximately 65 feet, as interpreted by logging-while-drilling (“LWD”) data. Management is making plans to further explore the Miocene formation in future wells. Suspended exploratory well costs were $26.5 million at both June 30, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , for the costs related to the Miocene exploratory drilling activities. In August 2014, the Oyo-8 well was drilled to a total vertical depth of approximately 6,059 feet (approximately 1,847 meters) and successfully encountered four new oil and gas reservoirs in the eastern fault block, with total gross hydrocarbon thickness of 112 feet, based on results from the LWD data, reservoir pressure measurement, and reservoir fluid sampling. Management has commenced a detailed evaluation of the results and plans to further explore the Pliocene formation in the eastern fault block and establish the size of the incremental additions. Suspended exploratory well costs were $6.5 million at both June 30, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , for the costs related to the Pliocene exploration drilling activities in the eastern fault block. |

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily represent the estimated fair value of the amounts that will be incurred to plug, abandon and remediate certain oil and gas properties at the end of their productive lives. Significant inputs used in determining such obligations include, but are not limited to, estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, estimated future inflation rates and changes in property lives.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | Debt Promissory Note – Long-Term (Related Party) The Company has a $25.0 million borrowing facility under a Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with Allied. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal under the Promissory Note at a rate of the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2% per annum, payable quarterly. In March 2015, the Promissory Note was amended to extend the maturity date by one year to July 2016 . The entire $25.0 million facility amount can be utilized for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2015 , the outstanding principal and interest under the Promissory Note was $25.0 million and $0.6 million , respectively. Convertible Subordinated Note – Long-Term (Related Party) As partial consideration in connection with the February 2014 closing of the Allied Transaction, the Company issued a $50.0 million Convertible Subordinated Note in favor of Allied (the “Convertible Subordinated Note”). Interest on the Convertible Subordinated Note accrues at a rate per annum of one-month LIBOR plus 5% , payable quarterly in cash until the maturity of the Convertible Subordinated Note five years from the closing of the Allied Transaction. At the election of the holder, the Convertible Subordinated Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.2984 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The Convertible Subordinated Note is subordinated to the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and is subject to acceleration upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Subordinated Note). The Company may, at its option, prepay the Convertible Subordinated Note in whole or in part, at any time, without premium or penalty, and is subject to mandatory prepayment upon (i) the Company’s issuance of capital stock or incurrence of indebtedness, the proceeds of which the Company does not apply to repayment of senior indebtedness or (ii) any capital markets debt issuance to the extent the net proceeds of such issuance exceed $250.0 million . Allied may assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Convertible Subordinated Note to any person upon written notice to the Company. As of June 30, 2015 , the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Subordinated Note was $50.0 million and $3.7 million , respectively. Term Loan Facility In September 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary CPL, entered into a credit facility with a Nigerian bank for a five -year senior secured term loan providing initial borrowing capacity of up to $100.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”). 90% of the Term Loan Facility is available in U.S. dollar, while the remaining 10% is available in Nigerian Naira. U.S. dollar borrowings under the Term Loan Facility currently bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 10.5% . The obligations under the Term Loan Facility include a legal charge over OMLs 120 and 121 and an assignment of proceeds from oil sales. The obligations of CPL have been guaranteed by the Company and rank in priority with all its other obligations. Proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were used for the further expansion and development of the Oyo field offshore Nigeria. Under the Term Loan Facility, the following events, among others, constitute events of default: CPL failing to pay any amounts due within thirty days of the due date; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of CPL; a material breach of the Loan Agreement by CPL that remains unremedied within thirty days of written notice by CPL; or a representation or warranty of CPL proves to have been incorrect or materially inaccurate when made. Upon any event of default, all outstanding principal and interest under any loans will become immediately due and payable. The Term Loan Facility contains normal and customary covenants including the delivery of the Company’s annual audited financial information each year, and a provision of priority of interest, in which the Company is to procure that its obligations under the Term Loan Facility do and will rank in priority with all its other current and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The Company is also to provide a production and lifting schedule each month displaying the daily production totals and quantities lifted respectively from OMLs 120 and 121. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants as of June 30, 2015 . Upon executing the Term Loan Facility, the Company paid a $2.1 million commitment fee, which was recorded as debt issuance cost and is being amortized over the life of the Term Loan Facility using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2015 , $1.9 million of the debt issuance cost remain unamortized. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company recognized an unrealized foreign currency gain of $1.6 million on the Naira portion of the loan, reducing the net balance under the Term Loan Facility to $98.4 million . Of this amount, $79.9 million was classified as long-term and $18.5 million as short-term. Accrued interest for the Term Loan Facility was $2.5 million as of June 30, 2015 . 2015 Convertible Note (Related Party) In March 2015, the Company entered into a new borrowing facility with Allied for a Convertible Note (the “2015 Convertible Note”) allowing the Company to borrow up to $50.0 million for general corporate purposes. The 2015 Convertible Note will mature in December 2016. Interest accrues at the rate of LIBOR plus 5% , and is payable quarterly. The 2015 Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, at the sole option of the holder. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is equal to the sum of the principal amount and the accrued and unpaid interest divided by the conversion price, defined as the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices on the NYSE MKT for a share of common stock for the five complete trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. As of June 30, 2015 , the Company had borrowed $44.0 million under the note and issued to Allied warrants to purchase approximately 2.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $2.46 to $7.85 per share. The total fair market value of the warrants amounting to $4.5 million based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model was recorded as a discount from the note, and is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the note. As of June 30, 2015 , the unamortized balance of the note discount was $3.8 million . Additional warrants are issuable in connection with future borrowings, with the per share price for those warrants determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of such future borrowings. As of June 30, 2015 , the Company owed $40.2 million under the 2015 Convertible Note, net of discount. Accrued interest on the 2015 Convertible Note was $0.5 million as of June 30, 2015 . Subsequent to June 30, 2015 , the Company borrowed an additional $4.0 million under the 2015 Convertible Note and issued to Allied warrants to purchase approximately 0.2 million shares of the Company's common stock with exercise prices ranging from $3.71 to $3.93 per share. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments In February 2014, a long-term contract was signed for the floating, production, storage, and offloading vessel (“FPSO”) Armada Perdana, which is the vessel currently connected to the Company’s producing wells Oyo-8 and Oyo-7 in Nigeria. The contract provides for an initial term of seven years beginning January 1, 2014, with an automatic extension for an additional term of two years unless terminated by the Company with prior notice. The FPSO can process up to 40,000 barrels of liquid per day, with a storage capacity of approximately one million barrels. In June 2015, the operator of the FPSO agreed to a price reduction for the operating day rates incurred by the Company for the period from July 2014 to April 2015. This resulted in a $26.0 million reduction in previously accrued production costs. The remaining annual minimum commitment per the terms of the agreement is approximately $48.4 million through 2020. In December 2014, the Company entered into a short-term drilling contract for the semi-submersible drilling rig Sedco Express to complete the horizontal drilling portion of wells Oyo-7 and Oyo-8. The Company finished completion operations for well Oyo-8 in March 2015, and the drilling rig was released in June 2015 upon successful completion of the Oyo-7 well. The Company also has commitments related to four production sharing contracts with the Government of the Republic of Kenya (the “Kenya PSCs”), two Petroleum Exploration, Development & Production Licenses with the Republic of The Gambia (the “Gambia Licenses”), and one Petroleum Agreement with the Republic of Ghana. In all cases, the Company entered into these commitments through a subsidiary. To maintain compliance and ownership, the Company is required to fulfill certain minimum work obligations and to make certain payments as stated in each of the Kenya PSCs, the Gambia Licenses, and the Ghana Petroleum Agreement. Contingencies Legal Contingencies From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2015 , and through the filing date of this report, the Company does not believe the ultimate resolution of such actions or potential actions of which the Company is currently aware will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. On June 28, 2015, the Company, CPL and an affiliate of CEHL, the Company's majority shareholder (collectively, the "Erin Parties") entered into a Settlement Agreement with Northern Offshore International Drilling Company Ltd. ("Northern"), pursuant to which the parties agreed (i) to settle all disputes and release all claims relating to the daywork drilling contract for Northern’s drillship Energy Searcher and (ii) to terminate the arbitration proceedings in London. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, neither the Erin Parties nor Northern paid any amounts to the other to settle the disputes, and each party agreed to bear its own legal fees and to share equally the arbitration costs. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $24.3 million . Contingency under the Allied Transfer Agreement As provided for under the Transfer Agreement with Allied, the Company is required to make the following additional payments upon the occurrence of certain future events: (i) $25.0 million cash or the equivalent in shares of the Company’s common stock within fifteen days following the approval of a development plan by the Nigerian Department of Petroleum Resources with respect to a first new discovery of hydrocarbons in a non-Oyo field area; and (ii) $25.0 million cash or the equivalent in shares of the Company’s common stock within fifteen days starting from the commencement of the first hydrocarbon production in commercial quantities in a non-Oyo field area.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the indicated periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 , filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on certain assumptions. Estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses attributable to the reporting periods. Accordingly, accounting estimates in conformity with U.S. GAAP require the exercise of judgment. These estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and while management believes that the estimates and assumptions are appropriate, actual results could differ from management's estimates. Estimates that may have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position and results from operations include share-based compensation assumptions, oil and natural gas reserve quantities, depletion and amortization relating to oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligation assumptions, and income taxes. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained and our operating environment changes. |
Interest Capitalization | The Company capitalizes interest costs for qualifying oil and gas properties. The capitalization period begins when expenditures are incurred on qualified properties, activities begin which are necessary to prepare the property for production, and interest costs have been incurred. The capitalization period continues as long as these events occur. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is depleted using the unit-of-production method in the same manner as the underlying assets. |
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share | Basic net earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the reporting period. Diluted net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the fully diluted common stock equivalent, which consists of shares outstanding, augmented by potentially dilutive shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, warrants, and conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Note, calculated using the treasury stock method. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, inventory, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and debts at floating interest rates, approximate their fair values at June 30, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , respectively, principally due to the short-term nature, maturities or nature of interest rates of the above listed items. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. ASU No. 2015-01 eliminates from US GAAP the concept of extraordinary items, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and the Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which is guidance for the reporting of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability on an entity's balance sheet. Under the guidance, an entity must report debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the treatment for debt discounts. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company will adopt this standards update beginning with the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in Cloud Computing Arrangement. ASU 2015-05 is new guidance to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and the Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115. The amendments in ASU 2015-08 amend various SEC paragraphs included in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115 (“SAB 115”). SAB 115 rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins series and brings existing guidance into conformity with ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting,” which provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The Company has adopted the amendments in ASU 2015-08, effective May 8, 2015, as the amendments in the update are effective upon issuance. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
