Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04 ("ASU 2013-04"), “Liabilities,” which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, with the exception of obligations already addressed within existing US GAAP guidance. ASU 2013-04 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2014 and it does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters," which provides the standards for parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2014 and it does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Income Taxes," which provides explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward exists. Under the new standard update, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter fiscal 2014 and applied prospectively or retroactively with early adoption permitted. Since the adoption of the authoritative guidance only requires additional disclosures, it does not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
