Effect of New Accounting Guidance


In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Under this guidance, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward.  This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
