RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires 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 ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective.  In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of this ASU by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (our 2018 fiscal year). Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (our 2017 fiscal year). The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Debt Issuance Costs
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements from an asset on the balance sheet to a deduction from the related debt liability.  Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense.  ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (our 2016 fiscal year).  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Software Licenses
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license.  ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (our 2016 fiscal year).  Early adoption is permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
