NOTE 4: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-09 to amend FASB ASC Subtopic 715-80, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Multiemployer Plans:  Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan.  The Update requires employers with multiemployer pension plans to provide additional disclosures.  The new disclosures require qualitative and quantitative information about the plans such as detailed identification of the plans in which employers participate, the level of participation in the plans as indicated by contribution amounts and whether those contribution amounts represent more than five percent of total contributions made by all contributing employers, detailed information about the financial health of the plans and the nature of employer commitments to the plans.  Further disclosure is required for plans without additional publicly available information outside of the employer’s disclosures such as the plan’s annual report on a US Form 5500.  For public entities, the Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  The Company participates in a multiemployer plan and is currently evaluating the additional disclosures that may be required.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08 to amend FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other:  Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  The purpose of the Update is to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment.  The amendments allows entities the option of considering qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  The results of this consideration are then used to determine whether the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350 must be performed.  The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent.  The Update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  While early adoption is permitted, the Company did not choose to do so.  The Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 to amend FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income:  Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  The purpose of the Update is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting related to other comprehensive income.  It eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  Instead, the components of other comprehensive income must either be presented with net income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as a separate but consecutive statement following the statement of operations.  Regardless of which method is used, adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements.  The Update is effective on a retrospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 to amend FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement:  Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The Update amends the GAAP requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosures about fair value measurements to improve consistency between GAAP and IFRSs by changing some of the wording used to describe the requirements, clarifying the intended application of certain requirements and changing certain principles.  The Update is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03 to amend FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing.  ASC 860 outlines when the transfer of financial assets under a repurchase agreement may or may not be accounted for as a sale.  Whether the transferring entity maintains effective control over the transferred financial assets provides the basis for such a determination.  The previous requirement that the transferor must have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before the maturity of the agreement is removed from the assessment of effective control by this Update.  The Update is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02 to amend FASB ASC Subtopic 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.  The statement clarifies guidance used by creditors to identify troubled debt restructurings and to result in more consistent application of GAAP for debt restructurings.  The guidance was effective for the Company on July 1, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
