NOTE 4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2014, the FAAB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities and also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). As the objective of the amendments in this Update is to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities adoption of this guidance is not expected to impact our financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-12, Definition of a Public Entity. This newly issued accounting standard establishes one definition of public business entity for future use in U.S. GAAP. The amendment does not affect existing requirements. There is no actual effective date for the amendment in this Update. Adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This newly issued accounting standard does not require new recurring disclosures. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. As the objective of this accounting standard is to provide guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and the settling of income taxes resulting from disallowances of tax positions. Adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements; the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, it is cross-referenced to the related footnote for additional information. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. As the objective of this accounting standard is to improve the reporting of classifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and the information is already required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements the adoption of this standard has not impacted our financial position or results of operations.

 

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This newly issued accounting standard clarifies that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements, and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard has not impacted our financial position or results of operations..

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This newly issued accounting standard simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. The more likely than not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. This ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. As the objective is to reduce the cost and complexity of impairment testing, adoption of this standard has not impacted our financial position or results of operations.

 

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
