Note 21: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”),” which provides additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and are to be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-4, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”)," which results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The application of fair value measurements are not changed as a result of this amendment. Some of the amendments provide clarification of existing fair value measurement requirements while other amendments change a particular principal or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. Management is currently in the process of determining what effect the provisions of this update will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-5, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which improves comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity has been eliminated. The amendments require that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement will present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that will present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The FASB decided on October 21, 2011 that the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income will be deferred. Management is currently in the process of determining what effect the provisions of this update will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-9, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits-Multiemployer Plans: Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan,” which improves employer disclosures for multiple-employer pension plans. Previously, disclosures were limited primarily to the historical contributions made to the plans. In developing the new guidance, the FASB’s goal was to help users of financial statements assess the potential future cash flow implications relating to an employer’s participation in multiemployer pension plans. The disclosures also will indicate the financial health of all of the significant plans in which the employer participates and assist a financial statement user to access additional information that is available outside of the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Management has determined the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
