Note 3—New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently adopted accounting standards

 

Income taxes—Effective January 1, 2014, we adopted the accounting standards update that requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if net settlement is required or expected.  The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013.  Our adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets or the disclosures contained in our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently issued accounting standards

 

Presentation of financial statements—Effective January 1, 2015, we will adopt the accounting standards update that changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations.  The update expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to the disposal of individually significant components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations.  The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014.  We do not expect that our adoption will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets or the disclosures contained in our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue from contracts with customers—Effective January 1, 2017, we will adopt the new accounting standards update that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016.  We are evaluating the requirements to determine the effect such requirements may have on our revenue recognition policies.
