New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements” (ASU 2010-06).  ASU 2010-06 requires expanded disclosures related to fair value measurements including (i) the amounts of significant transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers, (ii) the reasons for transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with significant transfers disclosed separately, (iii) the policy for determining when transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized, and (iv) for recurring fair value measurements of assets and liabilities in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a gross presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements.  ASU 2010-06 further clarifies that (i) fair value measurement disclosures should be provided for each class of assets and liabilities (rather than major category), which would generally be a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position and (ii) entities should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities included in Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The disclosures related to the gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy were required for the Company beginning January 1, 2011, and the adoption of this disclosure requirement did not have a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications made by ASU 2010-06 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
 In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20 “Disclosures About the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (ASU 2010-20) which requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the reserve for loan losses, and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the reserve for loan losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its reserve for loan losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segments. The required disclosures include, among other things, a rollforward of the reserve for loan losses, as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual, and past due loans and credit quality indicators. ASU 2010-20 became effective for the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period are required for the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements that include periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-20 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2011-01, “Receivables (Topic 310)—Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20,” temporarily deferred the effective date for disclosures related to TDRs to coincide with the effective date of a proposed ASU related to TDRs, which was issued in April 2011, as described below.
 
                 In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (ASU 2011-02). The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 provide additional guidance related to determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, include factors and examples for creditors to consider in evaluating whether a restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant, prohibit creditors from using the borrower’s effective rate test to evaluate whether a concession has been granted to the borrower, and add factors for creditors to use in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. A provision in ASU 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about TDRs as required by ASU 2010-20. The provisions of ASU 2011-02 are effective for the Company’s reporting period ending September 30, 2011. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2011-02 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s future condensed consolidated financial statements.

 In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04). The provisions of ASU 2011-04 amend FASB ASC Topic 820, clarify the Board’s intent regarding application of existing fair value measurement guidance, and revise certain measurement and disclosure requirements to achieve convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of the highest-and-best-use and valuation premise and with respect to the measurement of fair value of an instrument classified as equity. The amendment also expands the information required to be disclosed with respect to fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 fair value measurements and the items not measured at fair value but for which fair value must be disclosed. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for the Company’s first reporting period beginning on January 1, 2012, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2011-04 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s future condensed consolidated financial statements.

 In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05). The provisions of ASU 2011-05 amend FASB ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income” to eliminate the current option to present the components of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity, and require the presentation of net income and other comprehensive income (and their respective components) either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments do not alter any current recognition or measurement requirements with respect to items of other comprehensive income.  The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for the Company’s first reporting period beginning on January 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2011-05 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s future condensed consolidated financial statements.
