New Accounting Guidance

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance that redefines a

discontinued operation as a component or group of components that has been 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 financial results. Continuing involvement will no longer preclude presentation as a discontinued operation. The guidance is required to be applied by the Company prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale beginning in fiscal 2015. However, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
