RECENT AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE [Abstract] |
Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block] | RECENT AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted the authoritative guidance, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in February, 2013, related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Under this update, an entity is required to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated OCI and to report changes in its accumulated OCI balances. For significant items reclassified out of accumulated OCI to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, reporting is required about the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income is presented. For items that are not reclassified to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP is required in the notes to the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2013, that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to the Company.
