Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-04 (“ASU Update 2012-04”), Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments in this ASU that will not have transition guidance are effective upon issuance of the ASU, which is the fourth quarter of 2012. The amendments that are subject to transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Partnership adopted this ASU during the first quarter of 2013 and determined it had no material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07 (“ASU Updated 2013-07”), Presentation of Financial Statements(Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. This ASU provides guidance on the application of the liquidation basis of accounting as provided by U.S. GAAP. The guidance will improve the consistency of financial reporting for liquidating entities. The guidance in this ASU is effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The Partnership anticipates the ASU will not have a material impact on its financial statements once adopted during the liquidation stage of its life cycle.
