Financial Information And Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Financial Information and Accounting Policies In our opinion the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim period financial statements and reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations and cash f lows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and our financial position as of September 30, 2012. All such adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the Notes. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, have been reviewed by our independent registered public accountants. The review is described more fully in their report included herein. Our accounting policies are set forth in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 10-K”). Stock Split. On April 24, 2012, the Board of Directors of FMC declared a two-for-one split of our common stock (the “Stock Split”) to be effected in the form of a distribution of one newly issued share payable on May 24, 2012 for each share held as of the close of business on May 11, 2012. Trading in the common stock on a post-split adjusted basis began on May 25, 2012. The number of shares outstanding and related prices, per share amounts, share conversions and share-based data throughout this Form 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect the Stock Split for all prior periods presented. Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
