Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, to amend FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, to improve comparability of fair value measurements in both U.S. GAAP and IFRS financial statements. Under these amendments, the FASB does not intend to cause any change in the application of the requirements under Topic 820. Some amendments provide clarification on the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value, or change disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This guidance became effective for us on January 1, 2012, and the adoption had no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011- 08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) (ASU 2011-08), permitting entities the option to first assess 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 as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU No. 2011- 08 was effective for the Company January 1, 2012 and the adoption had no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This amendment requires that all nonowner changes in equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendment therefore eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity. This amendment does not change the items reported under other comprehensive income, it does not change when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income and entities can choose to show line items net of tax effects or show one amount of aggregate income tax expense or benefit. This amendment must be applied retrospectively and for public entities, these amendments become effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We comply with the provisions of this amendment by using the two statement approach.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” (ASU 2011-11). ASU 2011-11 enhances disclosures regarding financial instruments and derivative instruments. Entities are required to provide both net information and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to enhance comparability between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. The requirements of ASU 2011-11 are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for us on January 1, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), allowing entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no testing is required. ASU 2012-02 is effective for us in the period beginning January 1, 2013 and the adoption is not expected to have an effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" (ASU 2013-02). Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for us on January 1, 2013.
