ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2017.

This ASU amends guidance for business combinations to simplify the presentation of adjustments to the initial purchase price allocation identified during the measurement period of a business combination. ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the<b><i> </i></b>measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, and eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. For public business entities, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2015, including interim periods with those fiscal years. The effective date for the Company was January 1, 2016.

This ASU amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry-specific requirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. This ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Other major provisions include ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This ASU originally had an effective date for the Company of January 1, 2017. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date,” which defers the effective date by one year while providing the option to adopt the standard on the original effective date. The new effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2018. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.</p> </div>
