For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but will be updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December&#xA0;15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">In March&#xA0;2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which is intended to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this update do not change the core principle of the guidance, but are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by including indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. In April&#xA0;2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which is intended to clarify guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in the new revenue recognition standard. In May&#xA0;2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which is intended to provide narrow scope guidance and practical expedients contained in the new revenue standard. In December 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers for technical corrections and improvements on narrow aspects within the original and amended guidance. The amendments in these updates are effective for annual periods beginning after December&#xA0;15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on the consolidated financial statements.&#xA0;The Company has developed an inventory of all U.S. revenue streams and has begun to assess the implications of adopting the new five step revenue model and reviewing key contracts.&#xA0;The Company will begin assessing foreign revenue streams once the U.S. review is finalized.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">In March&#xA0;2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on stock compensation which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of applicable income tax consequences on the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires recognition of excess tax benefits and shortfalls (resulting from an increase or decrease in the fair value of an award from grant date to the vesting date) in the provision for income taxes as a discrete item in the quarterly period in which they occur. Excess tax benefits and shortfalls are recognized in equity. In addition, these amounts will be classified as an operating activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows instead of as a financing activity. For fiscal 2014 to 2015, the Company recognized net excess tax shortfalls in equity of approximately $788 to $932, respectively. For fiscal 2016, the Company recognized net excess tax benefits in equity of approximately&#xA0;$327. These amounts may not necessarily be indicative of future amounts that may be recognized subsequent to the adoption of this new standard, as any excess tax benefits or shortfalls recognized would be dependent on future stock prices, employee exercise behavior and applicable tax rates. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning on January&#xA0;1, 2017 and early adoption is permitted.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px"> &#xA0;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">In August&#xA0;2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on the statement of cash flows presentation of certain transactions where diversity in practice exists.

This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December&#xA0;15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January&#xA0;1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company.</font></p> </div>

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, the impairment analysis for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, share-based compensation, income taxes, tax contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.</font></p> </div>
