| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | (2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the accounting guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The new guidance raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company will apply this guidance prospectively to transactions occurring after December 31, 2014.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, FASB issued the accounting standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard provides a single model for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance. The standard requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of goods or services. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The revenue recognition standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of the standard to its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, FASB issued accounting guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet. This standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this guidance. The Company will apply this guidance prospectively beginning in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The application of this guidance will result in a reclassification of debt financing costs from other assets to a reduction of the specific debt liability, and will not affect the Company’s statement of operations or cash flow. As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s debt financing costs, net of accumulated amortization is $8.0 million. |
