Note B—New Accounting Pronouncements

Balance Sheet Disclosures. In December 2011, the Financial Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance in regards to the presentation of netting assets and liabilities related to financial and derivative instruments as a single amount in the statement of financial position to address the difference between GAAP and international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”). This authoritative guidance is to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its Financial Statements.

Comprehensive Income. In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires an entity to present net income, and comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This authoritative guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity. This authoritative guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Except for presentation requirements, the adoption of this guidance as of March 31, 2012, did not have an impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.
