SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]	'
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Use of accounting estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts of assets and liabilities as at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Actual results could differ from the estimates made by management.
	The following include estimates by management: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory allocations, inventory provisions, accrued liabilities, warranty provisions, warrant liability, tax valuation allowance, impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, vendor specific objective evidence, estimated selling price and estimated returns as it relates to revenue recognition, and stock-based compensation.
	These estimates and assumptions are based on management's historical experience, best knowledge of current events and conditions and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Certain of these estimates require subjective or complex judgments by management about matters that are uncertain and changes in those estimates could materially impact the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
	Foreign currency translation
	The Company's operations and balances denominated in foreign currencies, including those of its foreign subsidiaries which are considered financially and operationally integrated, are translated into US dollars (USD) using the following: monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period end exchange rate, non-monetary assets are translated at the historical exchange rate, and revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate. Gains or losses resulting from the translation adjustments are included in income (loss).
	In the prior year, the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment included under accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheets related to the Company's adoption of
	USD as the functional and reporting currency which was effective March 1, 2010 and unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses of our self-sustaining foreign subsidiary which were translated into USD using the current rate method. Under the current rate method, assets and liabilities were translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period.
	Revenue recognition
	The Company derives revenue from the sale of broadband wireless backhaul equipment which includes embedded software and a license to use said software and extended product warranties. Software is considered to be incidental to the product. Services range from installation and training to basic consulting. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and there are no significant remaining vendor obligations, collection of receivables is reasonably assured and the fee is fixed and determinable. Where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until acceptance criteria have been met.
	The Company's business agreements may also contain multiple elements. Accordingly, the Company is required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, the fair value of these separate units of accounting and when to recognize revenue for each element. For arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company allocates revenues to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if available, third party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price ("ESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In multiple element arrangements, revenues are allocated to each separate unit of accounting for each of the deliverables using the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the aforementioned selling price hierarchy. The Company has determined the selling price for both the undelivered items and the delivered items using ESP.
	The Company generates revenue through direct sales and sales to distributors. The Company defers the recognition of a portion of sales to distributors based on estimated stock rotation granted to customers on products in the same period the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns; stock rotations and other known factors.
	Revenue associated with extended warranty and advanced replacement warranty is recognized ratably over the life of the contracted service.
	Revenue from engineering services or development agreements is recognized according to the specific terms and acceptance criteria as services are rendered.
	The Company accrues estimated potential product liability as warranty costs when revenue on the sale of equipment is recognized. Warranty costs are calculated on a percentage of revenue per month based on current actual warranty costs and return experience.
	Shipping and handling costs borne by the Company are recorded in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are recorded as revenue, if billed at the time of shipment. Costs charged to customers after delivery are recorded in cost of sales.
	The Company generates revenue through royalty agreements as a result of the use of its Intellectual Property. Royalty revenue is recognized as it is earned.
	Cash and cash equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Financial instruments
	The Company classifies its financial instruments as assets held at fair value, loans and receivables, other financial liabilities, or liabilities held at fair value. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, their characteristics and management's intent. Management determines the classification of financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition and the classification is not changed subsequent to initial recognition.
	The Company designated its cash and cash equivalents, contingent receivables and foreign exchange contracts as assets held at fair value which are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value being recorded in net earnings. Trade receivables and other receivables have been classified as loans and receivables which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt facility and lease obligations have been classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Liabilities held at fair value include the warrant liability and contingent liabilities which are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value being recorded in net earnings.
	Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets are recorded in net loss in the period in which they are incurred.
	Inventory
	Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value ["NRV"]. The cost of inventory is calculated on a standard cost basis, which approximates average actual cost. NRV is determined as the market value for finished goods, replacement cost for raw materials, and finished goods market value less cost to complete for work in progress inventory.
	We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on factors including our estimated forecast of product demand, the stage of the product life cycle and production requirements for the units in question.
	We carry inventory for the purposes of supporting our product warranty. Standard warranty is typically 13 months but we earn revenue by providing enhanced and extended warranty and repair service during and beyond the standard warranty period. Customer service inventory consists of both component parts and finished units.
	Indirect manufacturing costs and direct labour expenses are allocated systematically to the total production inventory.
	Income taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes that are more likely than not to be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets when it believes that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.
	The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The tax benefit of any uncertain tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon successful resolution. To the extent a full benefit is not expected to be realized, an income tax liability is effectively established. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense.
	Management periodically reviews the Company's provision for income taxes and valuation allowance to determine whether the overall tax estimates are reasonable. When management performs its quarterly assessments of the provision and valuation allowance, it may be determined that an adjustment is required. This adjustment may have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
	Property and equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the anticipated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Test equipment	4 years
	Research and development equipment	5 years
	Computer hardware	2 years
	Production fixtures	3 years
	Leasehold improvements	5 years
	Furniture and fixtures	5 years
	Communication equipment	3 years
	Other	3 - 5 years
	Management evaluates the carrying value of its property and equipment assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent the estimated undiscounted future net cash inflows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The amount of impairment loss to be recorded is the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value.
	Goodwill and intangible assets
	Intangible assets include computer software, infrastructure systems software, and customer relationships and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 2 years, 3 years, and 3 years, respectively. Management evaluates the carrying value of its intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent the estimated undiscounted future net cash inflows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The amount of impairment loss to be recorded is the difference between the asset's carrying value and the net discounted estimated future cash flows.
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill is below its carrying amount. The goodwill impairment test is a three-step process which requires management to make judgmental assumptions regarding fair value. The first step in the impairment test is to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the subsequent two steps of the goodwill impairment test. The second step consists of estimating the fair value of our reporting unit. When the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not to be impaired and the third step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the Company compares the implied fair value of the goodwill, determined as if a purchase had just occurred, to the carrying amount to determine the amount of impairment charge to be recorded. Changes in the estimates and assumptions used in assessing the projected cash flows could materially affect the results of management's evaluation.
	Contingent receivables and liabilities
	In the event of an acquisition or other business combination, the Company identifies any contingent receivables and liabilities and recognizes the fair value of those receivables and liabilities based on the discounted expected cash inflows and outflows. Subsequent to the initial recognition and until the receivables and liabilities are settled, cancelled or expire, the Company accretes the instruments using the initial discount rate.
	Subsequently, the Company amortizes the liability and asset into change in estimate based on the forecasted sales over the liability's expected life and reduces the asset based on actual activity. The instruments are assessed for fair value on a quarterly basis.
	Stock option plan and employee share purchase plan
	The Company has a stock option plan and an employee share purchase plan which is described in note 14. The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees using the fair value method. In accordance with the fair value method, the Company recognizes estimated compensation expense related to stock options over the vesting period of the options granted, with the related credit being charged to contributed surplus.
	The Company launched an employee share purchase plan on October 20, 2008. The plan includes provisions to allow employees to purchase Common shares. The Company will match the employees' contribution at a rate of 25%. Proceeds from employees are received and the cost of the matching shares are recorded in share capital, with the related debit applied to contributed surplus at the time the shares are issued. The shares contributed by the Company will vest 12 months after issuance with a corresponding compensation expense recognized in income (loss).
	Expenses
	The Company defines general and administrative expenses to be administrative, finance, and operational costs. Selling and marketing expenses are defined as costs related to worldwide sales, marketing and product management. Research and development costs are defined as costs related to research and development related activities.
	Research and development
	Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization. Development costs incurred prior to establishment of technological feasibility do not meet these criteria, and are expensed as incurred.
	Income (loss) per share
	Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net (income) loss available to Common shareholders by the weighted average number of Common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, the net income (loss) available to Common shareholders equates to the net income (loss).
	In the computation of diluted earnings per share, the Company includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential equity instruments had been issued.
	Non-controlling interest
	Non-controlling interest consists of the minority owned portion of the Company's 50.1% owned subsidiary, DragonWave HFCL India Private Limited.
	ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity's rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods therein, with retrospective application required. The new disclosures are designed to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"), which clarifies that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with ASU Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Topic 220-Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-02"). ASU 2013- 02 changes the presentation requirements of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety and their corresponding effect on net income. For other significant amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety, the standard requires the Company to cross-reference to related footnote disclosures. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the Company on March 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment Upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets Within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters." ASU 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation-Overall, or Subtopic 830-30 "Foreign Currency Matters, Translation of Financial Statements", ASU 2013-05 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2013-05 resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 became effective for the Company prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" ("ASU 2013-04"). ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors as well as any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of those obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" ("ASU 2013-11). The amendments provide guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Prospective application is required. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

	3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
	Nokia Solutions and Networks' Microwave Transport Business
	On June 1, 2012 the Company announced the closing of the acquisition of the microwave transport business of Nokia Siemens Networks (whose name was changed to Nokia Solutions and Networks, also referred to as NSN, in August 2013 in connection with the acquisition by Nokia Corporation of Siemen's 50% stake in Nokia Siemens Networks, was recently renamed Networks and now operates under the Nokia brand, and is referred to herein as "Nokia" or Nokia's Networks business"), including its associated operational support system (OSS) and related support functions. The acquisition was effected pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Acquisition Agreement between DragonWave Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary DragonWave S.a.r.l and Nokia dated May 3, 2012. The terms "Nokia" or Nokia's Networks business" are used interchangeably herein to refer to Nokia Solutions and Networks or NSN.
	Consideration paid on closing by DragonWave S.à r.l, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was $12,730 in cash and 2,000,978 common shares with market value of $5,279. The cash payment was made in Euros.
	The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition are as follows:
	Tangible Assets
	Cash	-
	Accounts receivable	-
	Inventory	11,378
	Lease holiday	2,093
	Other current assets	2,564
	Capital assets	6,115

	Tangible Liabilities Acquired	6,646
	Fair Value of Net Tangible Assets	15,504
	Intangible Assets
	Customer relationships	1,745
	Developed technology	10,800
	Intangible Assets Acquired	12,545
	Goodwill	-
	Gain on purchase of business	(19,397	)
	Purchase Price	8,652
	Purchase Price
	Cash	12,730
	Common shares of DragonWave	5,279
	Other consideration	1,205
	Contingent receivable	(10,562	)
		8,652
	The Purchase Price consisted of the following components: a) cash delivered on closing; b) 2,000,978 common shares delivered on closing with a fair value of $5,279 which reflects that Nokia is subject to a lock-up provision restricting sale or disposition of the shares, subject to customary exceptions; c) other consideration deferred for specific tangible assets; d) a contingent receivable based on business performance in the twelve months following closing.
	The Company allocated $12,545 to intangible assets, including customer relationships and developed technology based on their fair values at the date of purchase. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of three, and six years, respectively. The useful lives of the intangible assets were determined as the period of time over which the assets are anticipated to contribute to the Company's future cash flows. None of the intangible assets are deductible for tax purposes.
	The Company recognized a one-time gain on purchase of business of $19,397 in the year ended February 28, 2013 due to the difference between the cumulative tangible and intangible net assets and the purchase price.
	The primary reason for the acquisition relates to the strategic position with Nokia which positions DragonWave for future growth as well as the acquisition of a technology suite backed by service and support, and further bolsters the Company's ability to participate in the growth in LTE networks worldwide. Management believes that the Company recognized a gain on the purchase of a business as a result of: a) its existing relationship with NSN (now Nokia's Networks business) which positioned the Company more strategically to the seller than other potential acquirers; b) access to the liquidity necessary to complete the acquisition; and c) the prevailing economic and market environment.
	The Amended and Restated Master Acquisition Agreement entered into on May 3, 2012 included an arrangement with NSN (now Nokia) for additional consideration that is contingent on actual sales of products achieved in the first eighteen months subsequent to the acquisition date. The fair value represents the discounted, most probable net amount to be received by the Company. During the year ended February 28, 2013 the Company has increased the contingent receivable balance, based on a change in fair value, and recognized a gain of $5,416 in the consolidated statement of operations as a result of business performance subsequent to the acquisition date. Due to payments received, foreign exchange translation and accretion of the relative discounts, which represents a net decrease of $2,135, the contingent receivable balance being carried on the balance sheet as at February 28, 2013 is $13,843.
	On April 10, 2013, the Company announced changes to its existing operational framework with NSN (now Nokia). In line with the renewed framework, the Company will continue to be the preferred, strategic supplier to Nokia of packet microwave and related products, and the companies will jointly coordinate technology development activities.
	Under the terms of the renewed framework, on April 12, 2013, NSN (now Nokia) paid $13,843 to the Company which settled the balance of the Company's contingent receivable. NSN (now Nokia) took on additional commitments and costs so that DragonWave can continue to develop and supply microwave products. The Italian services agreement, pursuant to which NSN (now Nokia) has provided research & development and certain other services to DragonWave since June 1, 2012, was terminated. As a result, the Company reduced accounts payable by $13,258. Capital assets with a net book value of $628 and the corresponding capital lease obligation associated with the Italian operations in the amount of $1,323 was also eliminated by the Company. During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company also reduced a capital lease obligation associated with its operations in India by $417 based on a revised agreement.
	The Company also recorded a liability included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, based on management's estimate, for a termination fee of $8,668 to be paid in several tranches. The estimate recorded is subject to measurement uncertainty as to the timing and amount that could have a material impact on the Company's financial statements should actual results differ from management's estimate.
	The net impact of these items resulted in a gain of $5,702 in the consolidated statement of operations in the year ended February 28, 2014.
	During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company reduced its estimated liability for the termination fee based on a change in estimate. The Company has also reduced an accrued liability that was recorded upon the aquisition of the microwave transport business of NSN (now Nokia) which was based on a change in estimate. The net impact of these items resulted in a gain in change of estimate of $2,970 in the statement of operations in the year ended February 28, 2014.
	Disposition of DragonWave Limited
	On January 22, 2013, the Company sold all of its shares of DragonWave Ltd ("DWL"), incorporated in Israel. The shares were sold for a nominal amount. Under the share purchase agreement, the Company has a liability to pay certain future obligations. During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company reduced the contingent liability by $342 based on a change in circumstance which is included in the consolidated statement of operations as a change in estimate. As at February 14, 2014, the Company has extinguished both the discounted liability [2013-$1,011] and the maximum potential liability [2013-$1,328].
	Also, under the terms of a supply and services agreement, the Company has an opportunity to earn an additional $5,068 [2013-$5,271] based on business performance subsequent to the disposition for which the Company has recorded a receivable of $52 [2013-$583] which represents management's estimate of the amounts to be collected based on the discounted forecasted future cash inflows. A reduction in the receivable of $553 was included in the consolidated statement of operations as a change in estimate.
	The net book value of the assets of DWL was $2,399 at the date of sale and as such the Company had recorded in the previous fiscal year, after consideration of both the discounted liability of $1,011 and the receivable of $583, a net loss on sale of assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of $2,827.

	Total Intangible Assets	18,837	7,407	9,795	1,635	18,117	5,551	9,795	2,771
	For the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company recognized amortization of intangible assets of $1,900 [2013 - $3,748]. The Company estimates that it will recognize $1,443 and $192 respectively for the next two succeeding years.
	During the year ended February 28, 2013, the Company performed analyses of its intangible assets in order to determine whether the carrying value of those assets exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use or disposition of those assets. Based upon these analyses, the Company determined that the carrying value of its Customer Relationship and Developed Technology intangible assets were in excess of the relative estimated future cash flows expected to result from their use or disposition. In each case where the fair value of the asset was less than the carrying value, the Company wrote the asset down to its fair value and recorded a corresponding impairment charge. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to intangible assets of $13,812 during the year ended February 28, 2013. During the year ended February 28, 2013, the Company sold intangible assets with a cost base of $14,525 and a net book value, after impairments and amortization, of nil.
	The goodwill impairment test is a three-step process which requires the Company to make assumptions regarding fair value. The first step in the impairment test is to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Because the Company impaired some intangible assets with finite lives, the Company believed there were qualitative factors in-place that would suggest that the two-step goodwill impairment test would need to be performed. The second step consisted of calculating the fair value of our reporting unit. The Company used both a market based approach and an estimate of discounted future cash flows.
	In applying the market based approach the Company calculated its market capitalization using values from a reasonable time period around the date of the impairment test. The Company applied a control premium that was identified using recent comparable transactions.
	In applying the discounted cash flow methodology, the Company relies on a number of factors, including future business plans, actual and forecasted operating results, and market data. The significant assumptions employed under this method include discount rates; revenue growth rates, including assumed terminal growth rates; and operating margins used to project future cash flows for a reporting unit. The discount rates utilized reflect market based estimates of capital costs and discount rates adjusted for management's assessment of a market participant's view with respect to other risks associated with the projected cash flows of the individual reporting unit. Management estimates are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which, by nature, are uncertain and unpredictable.
	The annual goodwill impairment analysis for fiscal 2014, performed as at August 31, 2013, did not result in any impairment loss.

The new terms of the credit facility include other customary terms, conditions, covenants, and representations and warranties, consistent with the facility already in place. Borrowing options under the credit facility include US dollar, Canadian dollar, and Euro loans. Interest rates vary with market rate fluctuations, with loans bearing interest in the range of 3% to 4% above the applicable base rates. Direct costs associated with obtaining the debt facility such as closing fees, registration and legal expenses have been capitalized and will be amortized over the 30 month term of the facility. During the year ended February 28, 2014 the weighted average debt outstanding was $15,000 [2013-$15,000] and the Company recognized $1,016 in interest expense related to the debt facility [2013-$1,083] and expensed $622 in deferred financing cost [2013-$447].
	As at February 28, 2014 and during previous quarters during the fiscal year, the Company was in breach of one of the covenants then in place on the facility. However, the Company obtained a waiver of the breach from its lenders for a period through May 31, 2014 which eliminated any acceleration of repayment of the Company's obligation.

	Restricted Shares & Employee Share Purchase Plan
	The Company launched an Employee Share Purchase Plan ["ESPP"] on October 20, 2008. The plan includes provisions to allow employees to purchase Common shares. The Company will match the employees' contribution at a rate of 25%. During the year ended February 28, 2014 a total of 29,221 common shares were purchased by employees at fair market value, while the Company issued 7,305 common shares as its matching contribution. The shares contributed by the Company will vest 12 months after issuance.
	The Company records an expense equal to the fair value of shares granted pursuant to the employee share purchase plan over the period the shares vest. The total fair value of the shares earned during the year ended February 28, 2014 was $23 [2013 - $48]. The fair value of the unearned ESPP shares as at February 28, 2014 was $13 [2013-$23]. The number of shares held for release, and still restricted under the plan at February 28, 2014 was 7,305 [2013-7,760].
	Warrants
	Effective May 30, 2007, the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 126,250 common shares of the Company at a price of $3.56 CAD per share. The warrants expire 10 years after the date of issuance. The warrants vested based on the achievement of pre-determined business milestones and resulted in 31,562 warrants being eligible for exercise. As at August 31, 2008, a revenue reduction provision in the amount of $64 was recognized with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus based on achievement. The provision was determined using the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model using a volatility factor of 50%, risk free rate of 3.3% dividend yield of nil, and an expected life of 8.75 years.
	On September 23, 2013 the Company completed a public equity offering. Under the terms of the offering, the Company issued and sold 11,910,000 units at $2.10 for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,011. Equity issuance expenses relating to the offering totaled $2,576 of which $662 was expensed as the proportionate warrant costs. Each unit consisted of one common share of the Company and three quarters of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of U.S. $2.70 per share until September 23, 2018, subject to certain adjustments. As a result of the offering, the Company issued warrants totaling 8,932,500. A clause exists in the form of warrant that states that in the event of a fundamental transaction the Company may be required to settle the warrants with a cash payment. Therefore, the Company, as per ASC 815-40 "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's own Equity", recognized a warrant liability of $6,425 which represented the estimated fair value of the liability as at September 23, 2013. The warrant liability is required to be presented at its estimated fair value as at each balance sheet date. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the warrants are included as a component of Fair value adjustment - warrant liability in the consolidated statement of operations. As at February 28, 2014, 3,171,000 warrants were outstanding and the liability for warrants was decreased to $1,360. In the year ended February 28, 2014 the Company increased its common stock value by $1,830 which represented the value of the 5,761,500 warrants exercised cash-less and realized a gain in the amount of $3,235 in the consolidated statement of operations which represented the change in fair value of the remaining warrant liability. Subsequent February 28, 2014, 200,000 warrants were exercised resulting in an issuance of 199,388 of the Company's common shares.

	The losses in Canada expire starting in Fiscal 2029 until Fiscal 2032. The losses in Luxembourg can be carried forward indefinitely. Income tax benefits relating to the losses in Canada and Luxembourg have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements as the recognition requirements under the liability method of accounting for income taxes have not been met.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	'
	20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: assets held at fair value, loans and receivables, other financial liabilities, or liabilities held at fair value.
	Categories for financial assets and liabilities
	The following table summarizes the carrying values of the Company's financial instruments:
			February 28,		February 28,
			2014		2013
	Assets held at fair value(1)		19,011		36,802
	Loans and receivables(2)		21,363		37,519
	Other financial liabilities(3)		45,838		74,435
	Liabilities held at fair value(4)		1,360		255
	-1	Includes cash, cash equivalents, contingent receivables and forward exchange contracts of $19
	-2	Includes trade receivables, deposits on inventory, vat receivable, and other & miscellaneous receivables
	-3	Includes accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt facility, and lease obligations
	-4	Includes warrant liability and contingent liabilities
	Fair value
	The Company classifies its fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs fall into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
	Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
	Cash and cash equivalents are measured using Level 1 inputs.
	The Company's foreign exchange forward contracts are classified within Level 2 as they are based on foreign currency rates quoted by banks and other public data source. The fair values of the foreign exchange forward contracts are based upon the difference between the forward exchange rate and the contract rate with expected cash flows and effect on the consolidated statements of operations expected to occur upon settlement;
	The Company's contingent receivable and contingent liabilities which have been measured using a Level 3 input, a discounted cash flow model that values the underlying assets and liabilities based on expected timing of payments and receipts;
	The warrant liability is classified as Level 3. The Company used a Monte-Carlo Simulation model to estimate the fair value of the warrants. Significant assumptions used at February 28, 2014 for the warrants include a dividend yield of 0%, a 1% assumption that the fundamental transaction will happen every year, volatility of 60%, and a risk free spot rate term structure;
	As at February 28, 2014, the Company held the following Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.
			Level 2		Level 3		Total
	Financial Assets
	Foreign exchange forward contracts		19		-		19
	Financial Liabilities
	Warrant liability		-		1,360		1,360
	As at February 28, 2013, the Company held the following Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.

	Contingent receivable		-		13,843		13,843
	Financial Liabilities
	Contingent liabilities		-		255		255
	A reconciliation of the warrant liability measured at fair value with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended February 28, 2014 follows:
	Year ended February 28, 2014
			Warrants		$
	Balance at March 1, 2013		-		-
	Issuance of warrants		8,932,500		6,425
	Fair value adjustment - warrant liability		-		(3,235	)
	Exercise of warrants		(5,761,500	)	(1,830	)
	Balance at February 28, 2014		3,171,000		1,360
	Interest rate risk
	Cash and cash equivalents and the Company's debt facility which has interest rates with market rate fluctuations expose the Company to interest rate risk on these financial instruments. Net interest expense, excluding deferring financing costs, recognized during the year ended February 28, 2014 was $1,128 on the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and debt facility [2013 - Expense of $1,215].
	Credit risk
	In addition to trade receivables and other receivables, the Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the event that its counterparties do not meet their obligations. The Company does not use credit derivatives or similar instruments to mitigate this risk and, as such, the maximum exposure is the full carrying value or fair value of the financial instrument. The Company minimizes credit risk on cash and cash equivalents by transacting with only reputable financial institutions and customers.
	Foreign exchange risk
	Foreign exchange risk arises because of fluctuations in exchange rates. To mitigate exchange risk, the Company may utilize forward contracts to secure exchange rates with the objective of offsetting fluctuations in our operating expenses incurred in foreign currencies with gains or losses on the forward contracts. Our foreign exchange forward contracts mature in March 2014 and have a notional value of $1,242. During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company recorded approximately $19 of gains related to its foreign exchange forward contracts. Our foreign exchange forward contracts are over-the-counter instruments. All foreign currency gains and losses related to forward contracts are included in foreign exchange gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.
	As of February 28, 2014, if the US dollar had appreciated 1% against all foreign currencies, with all other variables held constant, the impact of this foreign currency change on the Company's foreign denominated financial instruments would have resulted in a decrease in after-tax net loss of $135 for the year ended February 28, 2014 [2013-increase of $42], with an equal and opposite effect if the US dollar had depreciated 1% against all foreign currencies at February 28, 2014.
	Liquidity risk
	A risk exists that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. As at February 28, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $18,992 [2013-$22,959]. Based on current revenue expectations, the continuing availability of credit facilities, and other options available, the Company believes that its liquidity risk is manageable.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]	'
Use of accounting estimates	'
	Use of accounting estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts of assets and liabilities as at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Actual results could differ from the estimates made by management.
	The following include estimates by management: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory allocations, inventory provisions, accrued liabilities, warranty provisions, warrant liability, tax valuation allowance, impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, vendor specific objective evidence, estimated selling price and estimated returns as it relates to revenue recognition, and stock-based compensation.
	These estimates and assumptions are based on management's historical experience, best knowledge of current events and conditions and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Certain of these estimates require subjective or complex judgments by management about matters that are uncertain and changes in those estimates could materially impact the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Foreign currency translation	'
	Foreign currency translation
	The Company's operations and balances denominated in foreign currencies, including those of its foreign subsidiaries which are considered financially and operationally integrated, are translated into US dollars (USD) using the following: monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period end exchange rate, non-monetary assets are translated at the historical exchange rate, and revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate. Gains or losses resulting from the translation adjustments are included in income (loss).
	In the prior year, the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment included under accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheets related to the Company's adoption of
	USD as the functional and reporting currency which was effective March 1, 2010 and unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses of our self-sustaining foreign subsidiary which were translated into USD using the current rate method. Under the current rate method, assets and liabilities were translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period.
Revenue recognition	'
	Revenue recognition
	The Company derives revenue from the sale of broadband wireless backhaul equipment which includes embedded software and a license to use said software and extended product warranties. Software is considered to be incidental to the product. Services range from installation and training to basic consulting. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and there are no significant remaining vendor obligations, collection of receivables is reasonably assured and the fee is fixed and determinable. Where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until acceptance criteria have been met.
	The Company's business agreements may also contain multiple elements. Accordingly, the Company is required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, the fair value of these separate units of accounting and when to recognize revenue for each element. For arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company allocates revenues to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if available, third party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price ("ESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In multiple element arrangements, revenues are allocated to each separate unit of accounting for each of the deliverables using the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the aforementioned selling price hierarchy. The Company has determined the selling price for both the undelivered items and the delivered items using ESP.
	The Company generates revenue through direct sales and sales to distributors. The Company defers the recognition of a portion of sales to distributors based on estimated stock rotation granted to customers on products in the same period the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns; stock rotations and other known factors.
	Revenue associated with extended warranty and advanced replacement warranty is recognized ratably over the life of the contracted service.
	Revenue from engineering services or development agreements is recognized according to the specific terms and acceptance criteria as services are rendered.
	The Company accrues estimated potential product liability as warranty costs when revenue on the sale of equipment is recognized. Warranty costs are calculated on a percentage of revenue per month based on current actual warranty costs and return experience.
	Shipping and handling costs borne by the Company are recorded in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are recorded as revenue, if billed at the time of shipment. Costs charged to customers after delivery are recorded in cost of sales.
	The Company generates revenue through royalty agreements as a result of the use of its Intellectual Property. Royalty revenue is recognized as it is earned.
Cash and cash equivalents	'
	Cash and cash equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Financial instruments	'
	Financial instruments
	The Company classifies its financial instruments as assets held at fair value, loans and receivables, other financial liabilities, or liabilities held at fair value. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, their characteristics and management's intent. Management determines the classification of financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition and the classification is not changed subsequent to initial recognition.
	The Company designated its cash and cash equivalents, contingent receivables and foreign exchange contracts as assets held at fair value which are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value being recorded in net earnings. Trade receivables and other receivables have been classified as loans and receivables which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt facility and lease obligations have been classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Liabilities held at fair value include the warrant liability and contingent liabilities which are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value being recorded in net earnings.
	Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets are recorded in net loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Inventory	'
	Inventory
	Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value ["NRV"]. The cost of inventory is calculated on a standard cost basis, which approximates average actual cost. NRV is determined as the market value for finished goods, replacement cost for raw materials, and finished goods market value less cost to complete for work in progress inventory.
	We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on factors including our estimated forecast of product demand, the stage of the product life cycle and production requirements for the units in question.
	We carry inventory for the purposes of supporting our product warranty. Standard warranty is typically 13 months but we earn revenue by providing enhanced and extended warranty and repair service during and beyond the standard warranty period. Customer service inventory consists of both component parts and finished units.
	Indirect manufacturing costs and direct labour expenses are allocated systematically to the total production inventory.
Income taxes	'
	Income taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes that are more likely than not to be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets when it believes that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.
	The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The tax benefit of any uncertain tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon successful resolution. To the extent a full benefit is not expected to be realized, an income tax liability is effectively established. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense.
	Management periodically reviews the Company's provision for income taxes and valuation allowance to determine whether the overall tax estimates are reasonable. When management performs its quarterly assessments of the provision and valuation allowance, it may be determined that an adjustment is required. This adjustment may have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Property and equipment	'
	Property and equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the anticipated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Test equipment	4 years
	Research and development equipment	5 years
	Computer hardware	2 years
	Production fixtures	3 years
	Leasehold improvements	5 years
	Furniture and fixtures	5 years
	Communication equipment	3 years
	Other	3 - 5 years
	Management evaluates the carrying value of its property and equipment assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent the estimated undiscounted future net cash inflows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The amount of impairment loss to be recorded is the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value.
Goodwill and intangible assets	'
	Goodwill and intangible assets
	Intangible assets include computer software, infrastructure systems software, and customer relationships and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 2 years, 3 years, and 3 years, respectively. Management evaluates the carrying value of its intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent the estimated undiscounted future net cash inflows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The amount of impairment loss to be recorded is the difference between the asset's carrying value and the net discounted estimated future cash flows.
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill is below its carrying amount. The goodwill impairment test is a three-step process which requires management to make judgmental assumptions regarding fair value. The first step in the impairment test is to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the subsequent two steps of the goodwill impairment test. The second step consists of estimating the fair value of our reporting unit. When the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not to be impaired and the third step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the Company compares the implied fair value of the goodwill, determined as if a purchase had just occurred, to the carrying amount to determine the amount of impairment charge to be recorded. Changes in the estimates and assumptions used in assessing the projected cash flows could materially affect the results of management's evaluation.
Contingent receivables and liabilities	'
	Contingent receivables and liabilities
	In the event of an acquisition or other business combination, the Company identifies any contingent receivables and liabilities and recognizes the fair value of those receivables and liabilities based on the discounted expected cash inflows and outflows. Subsequent to the initial recognition and until the receivables and liabilities are settled, cancelled or expire, the Company accretes the instruments using the initial discount rate.
	Subsequently, the Company amortizes the liability and asset into change in estimate based on the forecasted sales over the liability's expected life and reduces the asset based on actual activity. The instruments are assessed for fair value on a quarterly basis.
Stock option plan and employee share purchase plan	'
	Stock option plan and employee share purchase plan
	The Company has a stock option plan and an employee share purchase plan which is described in note 14. The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees using the fair value method. In accordance with the fair value method, the Company recognizes estimated compensation expense related to stock options over the vesting period of the options granted, with the related credit being charged to contributed surplus.
	The Company launched an employee share purchase plan on October 20, 2008. The plan includes provisions to allow employees to purchase Common shares. The Company will match the employees' contribution at a rate of 25%. Proceeds from employees are received and the cost of the matching shares are recorded in share capital, with the related debit applied to contributed surplus at the time the shares are issued. The shares contributed by the Company will vest 12 months after issuance with a corresponding compensation expense recognized in income (loss).
Expenses	'
	Expenses
	The Company defines general and administrative expenses to be administrative, finance, and operational costs. Selling and marketing expenses are defined as costs related to worldwide sales, marketing and product management. Research and development costs are defined as costs related to research and development related activities.
Research and development	'
	Research and development
	Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization. Development costs incurred prior to establishment of technological feasibility do not meet these criteria, and are expensed as incurred.
Income (loss) per share	'
	Income (loss) per share
	Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net (income) loss available to Common shareholders by the weighted average number of Common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, the net income (loss) available to Common shareholders equates to the net income (loss).
	In the computation of diluted earnings per share, the Company includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential equity instruments had been issued.
Non-controlling interest	'
	Non-controlling interest
	Non-controlling interest consists of the minority owned portion of the Company's 50.1% owned subsidiary, DragonWave HFCL India Private Limited.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AND FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES	'
	ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR
	Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity's rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods therein, with retrospective application required. The new disclosures are designed to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
	In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"), which clarifies that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with ASU Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Topic 220-Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-02"). ASU 2013- 02 changes the presentation requirements of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety and their corresponding effect on net income. For other significant amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety, the standard requires the Company to cross-reference to related footnote disclosures. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the Company on March 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
	Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment Upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets Within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters." ASU 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation-Overall, or Subtopic 830-30 "Foreign Currency Matters, Translation of Financial Statements", ASU 2013-05 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2013-05 resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 became effective for the Company prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" ("ASU 2013-04"). ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors as well as any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of those obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists
	In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" ("ASU 2013-11). The amendments provide guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Prospective application is required. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
