2.           RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised guidance on revenue recognition. The standard provides a single revenue recognition model which is intended to improve comparability over a range of industries, companies and geographical boundaries and will also result in enhanced disclosures. The changes are effective for our fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, and interim periods within that year. We are currently reviewing the revised guidance and assessing the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.
