NOTE 16 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance on classification of an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry-forward or other tax credit carry-forward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The change is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2015, and is to be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) under certain circumstances. The new guidance requires a transfer from CTA into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business. This update aims to resolve diversity in practice in accounting for the CTA transfer into net income. The change is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2015, and is to be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of these updated disclosure requirements to have an effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
