Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”), which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirementsUnder the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.”  The new standard applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date.  The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, which for us is January 1, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods.  The adoption of this standard will not change the manner in which we currently present discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements.
