NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. This amendment is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. We adopted the amended provisions in Q1 2013. This amendment did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB amended ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. This amendment was issued to enhance comparability between entities that report under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an entity’s equity. The amendment requires companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two separate but consecutive statements. It eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. We adopted the amended provisions in Q1 2013, electing to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income as two separate but consecutive statements. This amendment did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2011, the FASB amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This amendment provides a consistent definition of fair value and ensures that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and IFRS. The amendment clarifies the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosures, and changes certain principles or requirements for fair value measurements and disclosures. We adopted the amended provisions in Q1 2013 and provided the applicable disclosures in Note 4. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
