3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance requiring a liability related to 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 such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The presentation of unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction of a deferred tax asset is consistent with an entity’s analysis of the realizability of its deferred tax assets and, as a result, is not expected to change an entity’s assessment of realizability. For public companies, this guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance for the interim period beginning January 1, 2014. Such adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
