RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Recently Adopted Standards
 
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 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 (FASB ASU 2014-08). The amendment revises the definition of a discontinued operation to a disposal, sale or held-for-sale component or group of components that represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2014 for calendar year-end companies. We have chosen to early adopt this pronouncement and it became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of the provisions of FASB ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Recently Issued Standards
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (FASB ASU 2014-09), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The provisions of FASB ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
