NOTE 8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 to apply to derivative instruments that are offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This clarified guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The revised requirements of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists.” ASU 2013-11 requires companies to present a deferred tax asset net of related unrecognized tax benefits if there is a net operating loss or other tax carry-forwards that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax position. To the extent that an uncertain tax position would not be settled through a reduction of a net operating loss or other tax carry-forwards, the unrecognized tax benefit will be presented as a liability. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The requirements of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

We have reviewed all other recently issued standards and have determined they will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, or do not apply to our operations.
