3. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, or ASU 2014-08. ASU 2014-08 amends the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2014-08 would impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition only in the instance of an event or transaction described above.
