NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements — In December 2011 and January 2013, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the guidance in ASC Topic 210, Balance Sheet. This amendment requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and/or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Bunge’s derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of this amendment on January 1, 2013 did not have a significant impact on Bunge’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2013, FASB amended the guidance in ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. This amendment requires an entity to disclose on a prospective basis the impact on income statement line items for significant items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income during the period. The adoption of this amendment expanded Bunge’s disclosures in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
