SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements were described in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies since November 30, 2013 other than as presented below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that will require the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. We adopted this new standard in fiscal 2013. There was no significant impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition upon adoption of this new standard.
