New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update that changes the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on operations and financial results. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal periods (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning on or after December 15, 2014 (early adoption is permitted). The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
In May 2014, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 that will supersede the existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The new standard focuses on creating a single source of revenue guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers for all industries. The objective of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue when it transfers the promised goods or services to its customers at an amount that represents what the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
