SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2015 , is derived from previously audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation have been included. These interim consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period financial statement classifications. The reclassifications included in these comparative consolidated financial statements are (i) a change in presentation of other comprehensive income and (ii) a reclassification from cost of goods sold to operating expenses. The reclassifications were deemed to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements both individually and in the aggregate. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“2015 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates from those disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). This update changes how entities account for and measure the fair value of certain equity investments and updates the presentation and disclosure of certain financial assets and liabilities. This new ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”). The amendments address how an entity should assess whether it is the principal or the agent in contracts that include three or more parties. The ASU clarifies that an entity should evaluate whether it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. The amendments affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09 which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, which will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the method of adoption that it will use and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU-2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 impacts several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including classification of certain items on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and accounting for income taxes. Specifically, the ASU requires that excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes) be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, introducing a new element of volatility to the provision for income taxes. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective on January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The transition method varies for each of the areas in the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its results of operations and financial position. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which clarifies the guidance in ASU 2014-09 regarding assessing whether promises to transfer goods or services are distinct, and whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with a right to use or right to access the entity's intellectual property. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, which will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). This Update provides for amendments to ASU 2014-09, amending the guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. Specifically, ASU 2016-12 clarifies that, for a contract to be considered completed at transition, all (or substantially all) of the revenue must have been recognized under legacy GAAP. In addition, ASU 2016-12 clarifies how an entity should evaluate the collectability threshold and when an entity can recognize nonrefundable consideration received as revenue if an arrangement does not meet the standard’s contract criteria. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, which will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, we transfer to third parties certain of our accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis in return for advancement on payment to achieve a faster cash collection. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , there remained a balance of $0.4 million and $0.3 million , respectively, in transferred receivables pursuant to the terms of the original agreement. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company received advanced payments of $0.1 million and $0.3 million , respectively. During the same time period, the Company transferred $0.8 million and $1.4 million of receivables, net of advancement of payment. Concurrently, upon collection of these transferred receivables, payment will be made to the transferee. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company received advanced payments of $0.6 million and $1.4 million , respectively. During the same time period, the Company transferred $4.9 million and $5.2 million of receivables, respectively. Concurrently, upon collection of these transferred receivables, payment will be made to the transferee. Athas, Peak Neuromonitoring (“Peak”), and Nobilis Surgical Assist (“First Assist”) purchase receivables from physicians, at a discount, on a non-recourse basis. The discount and purchase price vary by specialty and are recorded at the date of purchase, which generally occurs 30 to 45 days after the accounts are billed. These purchased receivables are billed and collected by Athas, Peak, and First Assist and they retain 100% of what is collected after paying the discounted purchase price. Following the transfer of the receivable, the transferor has no continued involvement and there are no restrictions on the receivables. Gross revenue from purchased receivables was $4.6 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Gross revenue from purchased receivables was $11.2 million and $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Revenue, net of the discounted purchase price, was $2.4 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Revenue, net of the discounted purchase price, was $5.9 million and $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Accounts receivable for purchased receivables was $4.1 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and year-ended December 31, 2015 , respectively.

INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES	INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES During the first quarter of 2015, The Company completed the deconsolidation of two imaging centers and one urgent care clinic in Houston, which consisted of the following entities: Spring Northwest Management, LLC, Spring Northwest Operating, LLC, Willowbrook Imaging, LLC, GRIP Medical Diagnostics, LLC and KIRPA Holdings, LLC. The Company resigned as the manager of these facilities resulting in loss of control and its rights to exercise significant influence. The Company retained investments in these facilities that are accounted for as cost method investments beginning January 1, 2015. The carrying value as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $0.7 million . The investments are classified as other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In March 2016, the Company acquired a 58% interest in Athelite Holdings LLC ("Athelite"), a holding company with a 70% interest in Dallas Metro Surgery Center LLC ("Dallas Metro"), a company formed to provide management services to a Hospital Outpatient Department (“HOPD”). In April 2016, Athelite interest in Dallas Metro was reduced to 62% . The Athelite investment is accounted for as an equity method investment as the Company did not obtain the necessary level of control for the investment to be accounted for as a business combination. This is due to the fact that the Company does not have the ability to directly appoint a majority of the board members of Dallas Metro or independently make strategic operational decisions. The carrying value as of September 30, 2016 was $0.5 million . The investment is classified as other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect to these risks is presented throughout these consolidated financial statements. Principal financial instruments The principal financial instruments used by the Company, from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows: • Accounts receivable and other receivables • Investments in associates • Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities • Other liabilities and notes payable • Capital leases • Lines of credit • Debt • Warrants • Non-employee stock options The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, other current liabilities and other liabilities as reflected in the consolidated financial statements approximate fair value due to their short term maturity. The estimated fair value of the Company's other long-term debt instruments approximate their carrying amounts as the interest rates approximate the Company's current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity, or have variable interest rates. Financial instruments - risk management The Company’s financial instrument risks include, but are not limited to the following: • Credit risk • Fair value risk • Foreign exchange risk • Other market price risk • Liquidity risk • Interest rate risk Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a patient, non-partner surgeon or insurance company fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company, in the normal course of business, is exposed mainly to credit risk on its accounts receivable from insurance companies, other third-party payors, and physicians. Accounts receivables are net of applicable bad debt reserves, which are established based on specific credit risk associated with insurance companies, payors and other relevant information. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due and arises from the Company’s management of working capital. The Company’s objective to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this objective, it seeks to maintain cash balances (or agreed credit facilities) to meet expected requirements. The liquidity risk of the Company and its subsidiaries is managed centrally by the Company’s finance function. The Company believes that there are currently no concerns of its ability to meet its liabilities as they become due for the foreseeable future. The following tables set forth certain information with respect to the Company’s payor concentration.

Interest rate risk The Company entered into a revolving line of credit that, from time to time, may increase interest rates based on market index. Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk arises because the Company has certain expenses that are incurred in Canadian dollars.

The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall ( in thousands ): Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Total December 31, 2015: Warrant and stock option derivative liabilities $ — $ — $ 2,951 $ 2,951 Total $ — $ — $ 2,951 $ 2,951 September 30, 2016: Warrant and stock option derivative liabilities $ — $ — $ 1,917 $ 1,917 Total $ — $ — $ 1,917 $ 1,917 In certain cases, where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to valuation, securities are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Level 3 liabilities that were measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis consist of warrant and stock option derivative liabilities. The estimated fair values of the warrant and stock option derivative liabilities were measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model (refer to Note 14 - Warrants and options liabilities ). Due to the nature of valuation inputs, the valuation of the warrants is considered a Level 3 measurement.

The total intrinsic value for all in-the-money vested outstanding stock options at September 30, 2016 was $1.8 million . Assuming all stock options outstanding at September 30, 2016 were vested, the total intrinsic value of in-the-money outstanding stock options would have been $4.2 million at September 30, 2016 . The Company recorded total stock compensation expense relative to employee stock options of $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $5.0 million and $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

WARRANTS AND OPTIONS LIABILITIES	WARRANTS AND OPTIONS LIABILITIES Warrants and Options Issued in Private Placements The Company issued warrants and compensatory options in connection with private placements completed in December 2013, September 2014 and May 2015. These warrants and options have exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars and as such may not be considered indexed to our stock which is valued in U.S. dollars. Hence, these warrants and options are classified as liabilities under the caption “Warrants and Options Derivative Liability” and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation method. Changes in the liability from period to period are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Change in fair value of warrant and stock option derivative liabilities”. The estimated fair values of warrants and options accounted for as liabilities were determined on the date of the private placements and at each balance sheet date following using the Black Scholes pricing model with the following inputs: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 Risk free interest rate 0.26% - 0.59% 0.11% - 0.64% Expected life in years 0.25 - 1.15 0.25 - 2.0 Expected volatility 76% - 112% 71% - 89% Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % The changes in fair value of the warrants and options (excluding non-employees) liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows ( in thousands ): 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of year $ 2,109 $ 6,657 Issuance of warrants and options — 12,797 Transferred to equity upon exercise — (8,882 ) Change in fair value recorded in earnings (1,729 ) (4,742 ) Balance as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 $ 380 $ 5,830 The following warrants and options were outstanding at September 30, 2016 : Exercise price in Cdn$ Number of warrants and options Remaining contractual life (years) 2015 Warrants $ 11.50 3,923,834 0.90 2015 Options $ 9.00 392,383 0.90 Outstanding and Exercisable as of September 30, 2016 4,316,217 As of September 30, 2016, there were no warrants or options outstanding from the 2014 issuances. Options Issued to Non-Employees As discussed in Note 13 - Share based compensation , in 2014 the Company issued options to professionals providing services to the organization. These professionals do not meet the definition of an employee under U.S. GAAP. At September 30, 2016 , there were 650,000 options outstanding to these non-employees. Under U.S. GAAP, the value of these option awards is determined at the performance completion date. The Company recognizes expense for the estimated total value of the awards during the period from their issuance until performance completion since the professional services are being rendered during this time. The total expense recognized is adjusted to the final value of the award as determined on the performance completion date. The estimated values of the option awards are determined using the Black Scholes pricing model with the following inputs: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 Risk free interest rate 1.01% - 1.14% 1.37% - 1.56% Expected life in years 4 - 5 5 - 6 Expected volatility 103% - 114% 113% - 115% Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % For the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded expense for non-employee stock options of $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company recorded expense for non-employee stock options of $0.2 million and $2.8 million , respectively. The changes in fair value of the liability related to vested yet un-exercised options issued to non-employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows (in thousands) : 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of year $ 841 $ — Vested during the period 533 1,531 Change in fair value recorded in earnings 163 65 Balance as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 $ 1,537 $ 1,596 Options issued to non-employees are reclassified from equity to liabilities on the performance completion date. Under U.S. GAAP, such options may not be considered indexed to our stock because they have exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. Hence, these will be classified as liabilities under the caption “Warrant and stock option liabilities” and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation method. Changes in the liability from period to period will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Change in fair value of warrant and stock option liabilities”.

Agreements with the third party equity owners in NHC - ASC Dallas and First Nobilis give these owners limited rights to require the Company to repurchase their equity interests upon the occurrence of certain events, none of which were probable of occurring as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . The contingently redeemable noncontrolling interests associated with these entities are classified in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as “temporary” or mezzanine equity. Changes in contingently redeemable noncontrolling interests are as follows ( in thousands ): NHC - ASC Dallas First Nobilis Total Balance at January 1, 2015 $ 6,654 $ 6,213 $ 12,867 Distributions (3,892 ) (7,617 ) (11,509 ) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 631 10,236 10,867 Total contingently redeemable noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2015 $ 3,393 $ 8,832 $ 12,225 Balance at January 1, 2016 $ 3,393 $ 8,832 $ 12,225 Distributions (2,929 ) (600 ) (3,529 ) Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests (210 ) 2,081 1,871 Total contingently redeemable noncontrolling interests at September 30, 2016 $ 254 $ 10,313 $ 10,567 Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly owned meet the definition of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), and we hold voting interests in all such entities. We consolidate the activities of VIE’s for which we are the primary beneficiary. In order to determine whether we own a variable interest in a VIE, we perform qualitative analysis of the entity’s design, organizational structure, primary decision makers and relevant agreements. Such variable interests include our voting interests, and may also include other interests and rights, including those gained through management contracts. Since our core business is the management and operation of health care facilities, our subsidiaries that are determined to be VIE’s represent entities that own, manage and operate such facilities. Voting interests in such entities are typically owned by us, by physicians practicing at these facilities (or entities controlled by them) and other parties associated with the operation of the facilities. In forming such entities, we typically seek to retain operational control and, as a result, in some cases, voting rights we hold are not proportionate to the economic share of our ownership in these entities, which causes them to meet the VIE definition. We consolidate such VIE’s if we determine that we are the primary beneficiary because (i) we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE via our rights and obligations associated with the management and operation of the VIE’s health care facilities, and (ii) as a result of our obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant to the VIE, which we have through our equity interests. The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of our material VIE’s included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets (after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances) ( in thousands ): September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Total cash and short term investments $ 1,071 $ 191 Total accounts receivable 8,638 8,660 Total other current assets 1,768 1,582 Total property and equipment 17,547 5,227 Total other assets 165 144 Total assets $ 29,189 $ 15,804 Total accounts payable $ 3,847 $ 2,286 Total other liabilities 5,924 7,059 Total accrued liabilities 4,242 2,664 Long term - capital lease 11,543 780 Noncontrolling interest (8,547 ) (1,488 ) Total liabilities $ 17,009 $ 11,301

The following items caused the third quarter effective income tax rate to be significantly different from the statutory rate: • Canada is excluded from the worldwide annual effective tax rate calculation because Canada has losses but does not expect to realize them, which reduces the third quarter effective tax rate by approximately 3.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . • All of the Partnership’s earnings are included in the Company’s net income; however, the Company is not required to record income tax expense or benefit with respect to the portion of the Partnership’s earnings allocated to its noncontrolling public limited partners, which reduces the third quarter effective tax rate by approximately 4.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . • The Company adjusted the prior year tax provision. The adjustment to the existing deferred tax assets and liabilities decreases the third quarter effective tax rate by approximately 1.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . • The third quarter effective tax rate includes a discrete item for the stock compensation shortfall, which reduces the effective tax rate by approximately 3.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. • The net tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.5 million expense and $1.7 million benefit, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately - 29.3% and 21.1% respectively. The net tax includes $0.3 million and $0.8 million of state tax expense, respectively. The Company did not recognize any federal or foreign tax expense or benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at that time. The state tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $0.3 million and $0.9 million , respectively. On April 22, 2016, the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service to examine our December 31, 2014 and 2013 Federal income tax return. Based on management tax analysis, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2016 .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation In the normal course of our business, we are subject to legal proceedings brought by or against us and our subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially impact the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. Shareholder Lawsuits After the Company announced it would be restating its 2014 annual financial statements and 2015 first and second quarter interim financial statements, one complaint, Schott v. Nobilis Health Corp. et al, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas against the Company, our former chief executive officer and our current chief financial officer. The complaint sought class action status on behalf of our shareholders and alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising out of the restatement. The defendants vigorously defended against these claims and filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint for failure to plead particularized facts supporting a strong inference of scienter on the part of the individual defendants.On June 1, 2016 the court heard oral arguments on the Company’s pending motion to dismiss which the court later granted on September 29, 2016. The court ultimately dismissed the case with prejudice on October 24, 2016. In addition, a statement of claim (complaint), Vince Capelli v Nobilis Health Corp. et. al, was filed on January 8, 2016 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice under court file number CV-16-544173 naming Nobilis Health Corp., certain current and former officers and the Company’s former auditors as defendants. The statement of claim seeks to advance claims on behalf of the plaintiff and on behalf of a class comprised of certain of our shareholders related to, among other things, alleged certain violations of the Ontario Securities Act and seeks damages in the amount of C$80 million plus interest. The defendants intend to vigorously defend against these claims. At this time the Company believes the likelihood of loss, if any, is remote.

Pursuant to a subscription agreement, the Company was the only member to participate in the capital raise and acquired an additional 60 Class C Units.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN27

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2015 , is derived from previously audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation have been included. These interim consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period financial statement classifications. The reclassifications included in these comparative consolidated financial statements are (i) a change in presentation of other comprehensive income and (ii) a reclassification from cost of goods sold to operating expenses. The reclassifications were deemed to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements both individually and in the aggregate. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“2015 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates from those disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). This update changes how entities account for and measure the fair value of certain equity investments and updates the presentation and disclosure of certain financial assets and liabilities. This new ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”). The amendments address how an entity should assess whether it is the principal or the agent in contracts that include three or more parties. The ASU clarifies that an entity should evaluate whether it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. The amendments affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09 which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, which will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the method of adoption that it will use and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU-2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 impacts several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including classification of certain items on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and accounting for income taxes. Specifically, the ASU requires that excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes) be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, introducing a new element of volatility to the provision for income taxes. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective on January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The transition method varies for each of the areas in the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its results of operations and financial position. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which clarifies the guidance in ASU 2014-09 regarding assessing whether promises to transfer goods or services are distinct, and whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with a right to use or right to access the entity's intellectual property. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, which will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). This Update provides for amendments to ASU 2014-09, amending the guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. Specifically, ASU 2016-12 clarifies that, for a contract to be considered completed at transition, all (or substantially all) of the revenue must have been recognized under legacy GAAP. In addition, ASU 2016-12 clarifies how an entity should evaluate the collectability threshold and when an entity can recognize nonrefundable consideration received as revenue if an arrangement does not meet the standard’s contract criteria. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, which will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
