3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. However, in April 2015, the FASB approved to defer the effective date by one year which we will evaluate if approved. Further, we have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

On August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and for interim periods thereafter. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

 

With the exception of the new standard discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the year ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, that are of significance or potential significance to us.
