NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | 3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2011-04, which amends ASC topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). This standard gives clarification for the highest and best use valuation concepts. The ASU also provides guidance on fair value measurements relating to instruments classified in stockholders' equity and instruments managed within a portfolio. Further, ASU 2011-04 clarifies disclosures for financial instruments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy that require companies to provide quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, the sensitivity of the measurement to changes in those inputs and the valuation processes used by the reporting entity. Early adoption is not permitted. Implementation of this standard was effective in the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2011. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which amends ASC topic 220, Comprehensive Income. This amendment gives entities the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Entities will no longer be allowed to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This amendment also required the entity to present on the face of its financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. However in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 which deferred this requirement. During the deferral period, companies are required to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements. Also during this deferral period, companies will not be required to separately present or disclose the reclassification adjustments in net income. As discussed below, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, as an amendment to this standard in February 2013. All other requirements in ASU 2011-5 are not affected by ASU 2011-12. Early adoption of ASU 2011-5 is permitted. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, which amends ASC topic 220. This amendment requires an entity 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 statement where net income is presented 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 under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. Implementation of this standard was required for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-8 which amends ASC topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The amendments in this ASU give companies the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If a company concludes that this is the case, it must perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, a company is not required to perform this two-step test. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Implementation of this standard was required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, which amends ASC Topic 210, Balance Sheet. The objective of this amendment is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of an entity's financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity's recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this update. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (i) offset in accordance with ASC 210 or ASC 815 or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Implementation of this standard is required for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We are currently evaluating the amendment, but do not expect implementation to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope and Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which amends ASC Topic 210. The disclosures required by the amendments are the result of a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The main objective in developing the amendments is to address implementation issues about the scope of ASU 2011-11, to provide more clarity about offsetting assets and liabilities, reduce diversity in application and provide users of financial information more comparability as it relates to certain reconciling differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and those financial statements prepared under IFRS. The amendments clarify that the scope of the disclosures under GAAP is limited to include derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Implementation of this standard is required for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We are currently evaluating the amendment, but do not expect implementation to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
