BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all of its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company has no relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off balance sheet arrangements, or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, these estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Some of the most significant estimates pertaining to the Company include the valuation of inventories, the allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes. On a regular basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Transaction Related Cost

Transaction Related Costs.  The Company recognizes transaction related costs as expenses in the period incurred.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred no transaction related costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $0.7 million of expenses related to the March 2012 offering.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standard regarding the reclassification of amounts out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).  This standard does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the standard requires disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the footnotes to the financial statements. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
