New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2014
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income” which requires companies to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated comprehensive income by component as well as requiring additional disclosures for these amounts. This ASU was effective for the Company on December 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which amends ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” This ASU provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit, as either a reduction of a deferred tax asset or as a liability, when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This ASU will be effective for the Company December 1, 2014. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment" which revises what qualifies as a discontinued operation and changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for the Company for applicable transactions occurring after December 1, 2015. The Company will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company December 1, 2017. The Company is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
