(2) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply to our business.

In December 2011, and as amended in January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued disclosure guidance relating to offsetting, whereby entities are required to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. These disclosures assist users of financial statements in evaluating the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on a company’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with the recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope. The guidance applies to a) recognized financial and derivative instruments offset in accordance with either the Balance Sheet or Derivatives and Hedging topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) and b) financial and derivative instruments and other transactions that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that covers similar instruments and transactions. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods, and shall be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013, with the required disclosures included in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements herein.

In July 2012, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance relating to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing such assets for impairment have the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. If an entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity shall calculate the fair value of the intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other topic of the Codification. The amendment is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013, with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance relating to the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). This guidance requires companies to present, in one place, information about significant amounts reclassified from AOCI. In addition, for significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety during the reporting period, companies must report the effect of such reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement of operations. For amounts not required to be reclassified to net income in their entirety, companies must reference the disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and shall be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013, with the required disclosures included in Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements herein.

In March 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance to resolve the diversity in practice relating to a parent entity’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) upon derecognition of foreign subsidiaries or groups of assets. The amendment requires that any CTA related to the parent entity’s investment in a foreign entity be released into earnings when a sale or transfer of the foreign subsidiary or group of assets results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and shall be applied prospectively. We have not yet adopted this guidance and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance to resolve the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward (collectively, a “carryforward”) exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for the carryforward, except to the extent (i) the carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or (ii) the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose.  In these cases, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This amendment applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a carryforward exists at the reporting date. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and shall be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, with retrospective application permitted. We have not yet adopted this guidance and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
