NOTE 10 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01—Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  This update clarifies that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, 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.  An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.  The Company has adopted this update and has determined it does not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures as the Company does not have any enforceable master netting arrangements or instruments that are offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45.

 

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02—Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  This update requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income.  For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.  This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period.  For the Company, the update is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but did result in revised presentation on the consolidated statements of operations of the items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.
