(3) ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The Partnership adopted the provisions of ASU 2013-02 in the first quarter of 2013 and this did not have a material impact on its financial statements, as amounts are not reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety.
