SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | ' |
Year End and Principles of Consolidation | ' |
Year End and Principles of Consolidation |
|
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company's consolidated fiscal year-end is May 31. Some of the Company's subsidiaries have varying year-ends. |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. As described below, the Company consolidates PRS, an entity of which it owns 49%, since the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of this entity. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated. |
Variable Interest Entities | ' |
Variable Interest Entities |
|
Current accounting guidance provides a framework for identifying a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and results of activities of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In general, a VIE is an entity or other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations. Generally, a VIE should be consolidated if a party with an ownership, contractual, or other financial interest in the VIE has the power to direct the VIE's most significant activities and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary generally must initially record all of the VIE's assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest at fair value and subsequently account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on majority voting interest. On May 17, 2014, the Company purchased 49% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of PRS. Pursuant to ASC 810, PRS is deemed to be a variable interest entity since the Company is the primary beneficiary of PRS. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of PRS from May 17, 2014 through May 31, 2014. As of May 31, 2014 the total assets and liabilities of PRS which were consolidated were $1,226,766 and $1,206,870, respectively. The total revenues and expenses consolidated since May 17, 2014 were $300,879 and $281,983, respectively. |
Non-controlling Interests | ' |
Non-controlling Interests |
|
Non-controlling interests in our subsidiaries are recorded in accordance with the provisions of ASC 810 "Consolidation", and are reported as a component of equity, separate from the parent company's equity. Purchase or sale of equity interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in our consolidated results of operations and, upon loss of control, the interest sold, as well as interest retained, if any, will be reported at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to valuation, impairment testing, earn-out liabilities, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax assets valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates for the years ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, include the valuation of intangible assets, including goodwill, liabilities associated with earn-out obligations and testing our long-lived assets for impairment. |
|
In recording the purchase accounting for previous acquisitions we had estimated the fair value of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill reflected in the Company's previously issued interim financial statements. Upon retaining the services of an independent valuation consultant, the allocations previously estimated by the Company have been revised and the results of the independent valuation consultant have been retroactively reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014. The Company originally estimated its goodwill and intangibles to total $14,828,837 and $3,832,924, respectively. Based upon the results of the independent valuation, the Company adjusted the goodwill and intangible totals to $6,229,013 and $12,482,121, respectively. These amounts were subsequently tested for impairment which resulted in impairment of goodwill and intangibles in the amounts of $2,700,255 and $833,592, respectively. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at May 31, 2014 or May 31, 2013. |
Accounts Receivable | ' |
Accounts Receivable |
|
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer's historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At May 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $561,311 and $0, respectively. |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes |
|
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the United States. The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. |
|
The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company's liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company's results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of the date of this filing, the Company is current on all corporate, federal and state tax returns. |
|
The U.K. entities are domiciled in the U.K. and file their tax returns in those jurisdictions. |
Foreign Currency Translation | ' |
Foreign Currency Translation |
|
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating in foreign countries are translated into U.S. dollars using both the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date or historical rate, as applicable. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the year. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are included in a separate component of stockholders' equity (accumulated other comprehensive loss), while gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations. |
Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs | ' |
Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs |
|
Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan, which is not materially different than the effective interest method. As of May 31, 2014 and 2013, accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs totaled $1,006,383 and $0, respectively. |
Business Combinations | ' |
Business Combinations |
|
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805") the Company records acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting, under which the acquisition purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The Company utilizes management estimates and, in some instances, may retain the services of an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in determining the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and contingent consideration granted. Such estimates and valuations require us to make significant assumptions, including projections of future events and operating performance. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), the Company measures and accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and standards for disclosure about such fair value measurements. |
|
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below: |
|
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | | | | | | | |
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data | | | | | | | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity's own assumptions. | | | | | | | |
|
|
The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of May 31, 2014 or 2013, with the exception of its notes payable (See Note 6), convertible notes payable (See Note 5), bonds payable (See Note 7) and its earn out liabilities (See Note 13). |
|
Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of May 31, 2014 and 2013 and therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. |
|
Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25, "Fair Value Option" (ASC 825-10-25) expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments. |
Convertible Instruments | ' |
Convertible Instruments |
|
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with accounting standards for "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." |
|
Accounting standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as "The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument." |
|
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features," as those professional standards pertain to "Certain Convertible Instruments." Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying Common Stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying Common Stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. |
|
ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity's control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability. |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition |
|
Cyber 360 Solutions: The Company derives its revenues from three segments: contingent staffing, permanent placement staffing, and consulting. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605-45 "Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations." The Company records revenue on a gross basis. The Company has concluded that the gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the duty of identifying and hiring qualified employees, (ii) uses its judgment to select the employees and establish their price, and (iii) bears the risk for services that are not fully paid by the customers. Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 605, the Company recognizes revenue when an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonable assured. |
|
| · | Contingent staffing and consulting: Contingent staffing and consulting revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the Company's contingent employees and consultants. The Company pays all related costs of employment, including workers' compensation insurance, state and federal unemployment taxes, social security and certain fringe benefits. | | | | | | |
|
| · | Permanent placement staffing: Permanent placement staffing revenues are recognized when employment candidates typically start their first day of work. The Company offers a 30/60/90 day guarantee. If the employee is terminated or leaves voluntarily during this period, a pro-rated refund is provided. The Company has a substantial history of estimating the effect of permanent placement candidates who do not remain with its client through the guarantee period. Fees to clients are generally calculated as a percentage of the new employee's annual compensation. | | | | | | |
|
Control Solutions International Inc.: The Company recognizes revenues primarily on a time and materials basis as the services are performed and amounts are earned. The Company considers amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are rendered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
| · | Revenue earned in excess of billings are recorded as unbilled accounts receivable until billed. Billings in excess of revenues earned are recorded as advanced billings until revenue recognition criteria are met. Deposits and prepayments from customers are carried as deferred revenue until the requirements for revenue recognition are met. | | | | | | |
|
| · | Reimbursements, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and third-party costs, are included in revenues. The related reimbursable expenses are included in cost of revenue. | | | | | | |
|
Staffing 360 Solutions (UK) Limited: The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
Poolia (UK) Limited: The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
PeopleSERVE, Inc. and PeopleSERVE PRS, Inc.: The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of staffing services as the services are performed, along with related labor costs and payroll taxes. The Company recognizes revenue for permanent employee placements when contractual contingencies, generally the passage of time, are satisfied. The Company's revenue recognition policies comply with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition." The Company is the primary obligor in its transactions, and has responsibility for fulfillment, including the acceptability of services ordered and purchased by customers. In addition, the Company has all credit risk, retains substantially all risk and rewards of the services rendered, has sole discretion in staffing engagements and sets the billing rates of its consultants. Accordingly, the Company records all transactions at the gross revenue amount billed, consistent with the provisions of ASC 605. Typically, contracts require clients to pay for out-of-pocket expenses, principally travel related expenses. Accordingly, revenue includes amounts billed for these costs and the cost of revenue includes the corresponding actual costs. The Company provides certain customers a 5.0% discount on certain contracts if paid within 30 days of the invoice date. Accounts receivable result from services provided to clients. The Company carries its accounts receivable at net realizable value. At the closing of the Company's fiscal period, a portion of receivables may not be invoiced. These unbilled receivables are typically billed within thirty days of the close of the fiscal period. |
Stock-Based Compensation | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50. |
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share | ' |
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share |
|
The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification "ASC 260 "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis and outstanding as of May 31, 2014 and 2013 have been excluded from the per share computations, since its inclusion would be anti-dilutive: |

Total | | | 11,756,082 | | | | 703,947 | |
Property and Equipment | ' |
Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. The depreciation and amortization methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, in years, of the respective assets as follows: |
|
Computers | | | 4 Years | | | | | |
Computer Equipment | | | 4 Years | | | | | |
Network Equipment | | | 3 Years | | | | | |
Software | | | 3-8 Years | | | | | |
Office Equipment | | | 7 Years | | | | | |
Furniture and Fixtures | | | 7 Years | | | | | |
Leasehold Improvements | | | 7 Years | | | | | |
|
Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ' |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
|
In accordance with ASC 360 "Property, Plant, and Equipment," we periodically review our long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the estimated fair value and the book value of the underlying asset. |
Goodwill | ' |
Goodwill |
|
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. ASC 350-30-35-4 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. During fiscal years 2014 and 2013, the Company impaired $2,700,255 and $0, respectively, of goodwill associated with the Cyber 360 and Control Solutions, Inc. acquisitions. |
Intangible Assets | ' |
Intangible Assets |
|
In connection with the acquisition of TRG (See Note 13), the Company identified and recognized an intangible asset of $1,054,801 representing trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes. The assets are being amortized on the straight line basis over their estimated life of four (4) years, other than the trade name which is amortized over fifteen (15) years. TRG customer relationships were valued based on the discounted cash flow method applied to projected future cash flows as estimated by Company management. This method results in the sum of the future net cash flows discounted to its present day value. The valuation provided for the trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes is based on independent professional valuation services' calculations. The intangible asset balance, net of accumulated amortization, at May 31, 2014 was $823,567. An impairment was necessary as of May 31, 2014. The Company fully impaired trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes valued at $823,567, resulting in a net intangible asset balance of $0 at May 31, 2014. |
|
In connection with the acquisition of CSI (See Note 13), the Company identified and recognized an intangible asset of $912,000 representing trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes. The assets are being amortized on the straight line basis over their estimated life of four (4) years, other than the trade name which is amortized over fifteen (15) years. CSI customer relationships were valued based on the discounted cash flow method. This method results in the sum of the future net cash flows discounted to its present day value. The valuation provided for the trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes is based on independent professional valuation services' calculations. The intangible asset balance, net of accumulated amortization, at May 31, 2014 was $804,346. An impairment was necessary as of May 31, 2014. The Company impaired trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes valued at $10,025. At May 31, 2014, the intangible asset balance, net of accumulated amortization and after impairment of $10,025, is $794,321. |

In connection with the acquisition of Staffing 360 Solutions (UK) (See Note 13), the Company identified and recognized an intangible asset of $10,050,000 representing trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes. The assets are being amortized on the straight line basis over their estimated life of four (4) years, other than the trade name which is amortized over fifteen (15) years. Staffing UK customer relationships were valued based on an estimate of the discounted cash flow method applied to projected future cash flows. This method results in the sum of the future net cash flows discounted to its present day value. The valuation provided for the trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes is based on independent professional valuation services' calculations. The intangible asset balance, net of accumulated amortization, at May 31, 2014 is $9,337,785. In addition, the Company recognized intangible assets of $261,465 upon acquisition of Staffing 360 Solutions (UK). In total the intangible assets balance, net of accumulated amortization, at May 31, 2014 is $9,599,250. |

In connection with the acquisition of Poolia UK (See Note 13), the Company identified and recognized an intangible asset of $465,321 representing customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes. The assets are being amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated life of four years. Poolia UK customer relationships were valued based on an estimate of the discounted cash flow method. This method results in the sum of the future net cash flows discounted to its present day value. The valuation provided for the trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes is based on independent professional valuation services' calculations. The intangible asset balance, net of accumulated amortization, at May 31, 2014 is $436,238. |

In connection with the acquisition of PeopleSERVE, Inc. and PeopleSERVE PRS, Inc. (See Note 13), the Company identified and recognized an intangible asset of $2,999,100 representing trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes. The assets are being amortized on the straight line basis over their estimated life of four (4) years, other than the trade name which is amortized over fifteen (15) years. PS customer relationships were valued using the discounted replacement cost approach. This method is based on acquisition costs invested to attract each customer and relied on actual selling costs incurred and allocated to new customer generation over the preceding four years. The valuation provided for the trade name, customer relationships and employment agreements/non-competes is based on independent professional valuation services' calculations. The intangible asset balance, net of accumulated amortization, at May 31, 2014 is $2,973,497. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new authoritative guidance related to share-based payments where performance targets can be achieved subsequent to the requisite service period. The guidance, effective in fiscal year ended 2015, is not expected to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |
|
In May 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance allows for two methods of adoption: (a) full retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied to all periods presented, or (b) modified retrospective adoption, meaning the cumulative effect of applying this guidance is recognized as an adjustment to the accumulated deficit balance. The Company is evaluating the two (2) adoption methods as well as the impact this new guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and will be effective in the Company's fiscal year ended 2018. |
|
In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance, which specifies that only disposals, such as a disposal of a major line of business, representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, absent any disposition representing a strategic shift in the Company's operations. |
|
In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
|
In March 2013, FASB issued authoritative guidance that resolves the diversity in practice regarding the release into net income of the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, absent any material transactions involving derecognition of subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity. |
