Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

NOTE B — RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Adopted

On January 1, 2015, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. These changes require a disposal of a component to meet a higher threshold in order to be reported as a discontinued operation in an entity’s financial statements. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements. This guidance will need to be considered in the event the Company initiates a disposal transaction.

Issued

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. The changes eliminate the concept of an extraordinary item and, therefore, the presentation of such items will no longer be required. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs. The changes require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
