Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Note 13 – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”), which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 require companies to display adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income ("OCI") to net income in both net income and OCI in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, which is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted. Under the new guidance, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the entity determines that this threshold is not met, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”, which is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after September 15, 2012. ASU 2012-02 amends the guidance in ASC 350-30 on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. The FASB issued the ASU in response to feedback on ASU 2011-08, which amended the goodwill impairment testing requirements by allowing an entity to perform a qualitative impairment assessment before proceeding to the two-step impairment test. Similarly, under ASU 2012-02, an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. Although ASU 2012-02 revises the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in interim periods, it does not revise the requirements to test (1) indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment and (2) between annual tests if there is a change in events or circumstances. The Company does not believe ASU 2012-02 will have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
