Compensation—Stock Compensation

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance on accounting for stock compensation where share-based payment awards granted to employees require specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and such performance targets could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. The amendment in this update requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition.

The guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the implications of adoption of this update on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers.

The guidance is applicable to the Company for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance on discontinued operations that increased the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation.

This guidance is applicable to the Company on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance, other than disclosures.

Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists except in certain circumstances. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2014, as required. There was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent company’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance provides the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided, or, if a controlling financial interest is no longer held.

This guidance is applicable to the Company on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
