In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended its accounting guidance on the presentation of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) in an entity’s financial statements.  The amended guidance eliminates the option to present the components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and provides two options for presenting OCI: in a statement included in the income statement or in a separate statement immediately following the income statement.  The amendments do not change the guidance for the items that have to be reported in OCI or when an item of OCI has to be moved into net income.  For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company adopted the amended presentation guidance in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2012 (see Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income) and such adoption has not impacted the consolidated results of the Company.

 

In September 2011, the FASB amended its accounting guidance on testing goodwill for impairment by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary.  The amendments do not change the guidance for how goodwill is calculated or when goodwill is tested for impairment.  The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2012 and such adoption has not impacted the consolidated results of the Company.
