Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a comprehensive new standard, which amends revenue recognition principles and provides a single set of criteria for revenue recognition among all industries. The new standard provides a five step framework whereby revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires enhanced disclosure pertaining to revenue recognition in both the interim and annual periods. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for adoption using a full retrospective method, or a modified retrospective method. We are currently assessing the method of adoption and the expected impact the new standard has on our financial position and results of operations.
Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “continue,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the Company’s expectations regarding financial condition or results of operations in future periods; the Company’s expectations regarding potential legislative and regulatory changes impacting, among other things, the level of reimbursement received from the Medicare and state Medicaid programs including CMS competitive bidding; the Company’s expectations regarding the size and growth of the market for its products and services; the Company’s ability to execute its business strategies to grow its business, including its ability to introduce new products and services; the Company’s ability to hire and retain key employees; the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its credit facility; the Company’s dependence on its Medicare Supplier Number; changes in third-party reimbursement processes and rates; availability of chemotherapy drugs used in the Company’s infusion pump systems; physicians’ acceptance of infusion pump therapy over alternative therapies; the Company’s dependence on a limited number of third party payors; the Company’s ability to maintain relationships with health care professionals and organizations; the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts; the Company’s ability to comply with changing health care regulations; sequestration; natural disasters affecting the Company, its customers or its suppliers; industry competition; the Company’s ability to implement information technology improvements and to respond to technological changes; dependence upon the Company’s suppliers; and such other factors as discussed in Part I, Item 1A.
