Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “we,” “our,” or the “Company” herein. We are a provider of highly engineered thermal solutions for process industries. Our thermal solutions, also referred to as heat tracing, provide an external heat source to pipes, vessels and instruments for the purposes of freeze protection, temperature and flow maintenance, environmental monitoring, and surface snow and ice melting. As a manufacturer, we provide a suite of products (heating cables, tubing bundles and control systems) and services (design optimization, engineering, installation and maintenance services) required to deliver comprehensive solutions to complex projects.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2015. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, and the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Use of Estimates
Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. While our management has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing at December 31, 2015, actual results could differ from those estimates and affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the corresponding revenues and expenses as of the date of the financial statements.  The operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016

Correction of an error

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a correction of an error that reduced marketing, general and administrative and engineering expense by $498 and decreased additional paid in capital by an equivalent amount. In previous years, the Company had expensed the withholding tax value of equity awards that were withheld by the Company at vesting. The Company determined that the value of withheld shares should have been recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), which amends the existing revenue recognition requirements and guidance. Under the new guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company will adopt the standard on April 1, 2018. We have not selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Stock Compensation - In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12 (Topic 718), which clarified the treatment of share-based payments when a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. Under the new guidance, compensation cost should be recognized over the requisite service period when it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved. The total compensation cost recognized should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. We adopted this standard April 1, 2015 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
    
Interest- In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-3 "Interest-Imputation of Interest" (Subtopic 835-30). The new guidance changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements and specifies that debt issuance costs related to a note shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated face amount of the note. The guidance does not change the current guidance related to the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. The amortization of debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. The guidance is effective for years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed for all entities and the new guidance shall be applied to all prior periods retrospectively. We are currently evaluating when to adopt this ASU. If the standard update were adopted as of December 31, 2015, our outstanding debt obligations would have been reduced by $986 and $1,217 as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the presentation of our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest- In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-15 "Imputation of Interest" (Subtopic 835-30). The guidance clarified the treatment of the presentation of debt issuance costs associated with a revolving line of credit. Under the guidance these costs can continue to be reported as an asset. As there were no changes to the pre-existing guidance the standard is considered to be effective immediately and had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inventory- In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11 "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" (Topic 330). Under the new guidance, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and the new guidance eliminates the use of replacement cost and net realizable value less a normal profit margin as techniques to value inventory. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The new guidance will be applied prospectively for annual periods and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We do not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations- In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-16 "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments" (Topic 805). Under the new guidance, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified in the reporting period in which the adjustments amounts are determined. Companies are required to disclose the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustments to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard in September 2015 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes- In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, which requires an entity to present all deferred income tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. Under the previous guidance, an entity had to classify deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. In the year of adoption, the guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating when to adopt the standard and the impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the presentation of our condensed consolidated statements of operations or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Financial Instruments- In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, which amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The amendment requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through earnings. The amendment also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the credit risk when an entity has elected the fair value option. The guidance eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for certain provisions of the accounting standards update. Upon the adoption of the standard, an entity will be required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of such reporting period. We are currently evaluating when to adopt this standard. Upon adoption, we do not anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
