(2)  Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, except for the adoption of new accounting standards during the first six months of 2014 as discussed below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard that creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. The new U.S. GAAP accounting standard is intended to conform revenue accounting principles with a concurrently issued new standard under International Financial Reporting Standards, as well as, to enhance disclosures related to disaggregated revenue information. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will further study the implications of this standard in order to evaluate the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements.
