Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the three months ended February 28, 2013.

 

New Accounting Standards Issued but not yet adopted

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Amendments to Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The objective of ASU No. 2011-11 is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies what instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements established by ASU No. 2011-11.  Derivative instruments accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowing, and securities lending transactions are subject to ASU No. 2011-11 disclosure requirements. The effective date for ASU No. 2011-11 and ASU No. 2013-01 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.  The Company does not expect the adoption of these standards to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  The objective of ASU No. 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).  Entities are required to disclose changes in AOCI balances by component and significant items reclassified out of AOCI.  The effective date for ASU No. 2013-02 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, 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.  The objective of ASU No. 2013-05 is to clarify the applicable guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment under U.S. GAAP.  The effective date for ASU No. 2013-05 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.
