NOTE 8 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards update ("ASU") No. 2011-02, "A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring") which impacts FASB ASC 310-40, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The amendments specify that in evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following conditions exist: the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments clarify the guidance on these points and give examples of both conditions. This update becomes effective for the Corporation for interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 will not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The Corporation will adopt ASU 2011-04, which generally aligns the principles of fair value measurements with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), in its consolidated financial statements in the first quarter 2012. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, and expand the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. While the provisions of ASU 2011-04 will increase the Corporation’s fair value disclosures the Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” (ASU 2011-05). The Corporation will adopt ASU 2011-05, which revises the way in which comprehensive income is presented in the financial statements, in its consolidated financial statements in the first quarter 2012. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 give companies the option to present total comprehensive income, components of net income, and components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. While the provisions of ASU 2011-05 will amend the presentation of comprehensive income, the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
