Impact of Accounting Standards and Interpretations

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, which is one of three alternatives for presenting other comprehensive income and its components in financial statements under current GAAP.  ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income.  In addition, ASU 2011-05 requires that reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented.  The guidance in ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  ASU 2011-05 does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented.  The guidance in ASU 2011-05 is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively.  Early adoption is permitted.  Since the provisions of ASU 2011-05 are presentation related only, our adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.”  The amendments in ASU 2011-04 explain how to measure fair value, but do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting and result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  For many of the requirements of ASU 2011-04, the FASB does not intend for the ASU to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820.  Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively and are effective, for public entities, during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early application by public entities is not permitted.  We do not expect our adoption of ASU 2011-04 to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements,” which removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion when determining whether a repurchase agreement (reverse repurchase agreement) should be accounted for as a sale or as a secured borrowing.  The guidance in ASU 2011-03 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date.  Early adoption is not permitted.  We do not expect the application of this guidance to impact our accounting for repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements.  Therefore, our adoption of ASU 2011-03 is not expected to have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” which clarifies the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession in a debt restructuring and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties in evaluating whether the debt restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring.  The guidance in ASU 2011-02 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  As a result of applying this guidance, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired.  In measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  The total amount of receivables and the allowance for credit losses as of the end of the period of adoption related to those receivables that are newly considered impaired should be disclosed.  In addition, ASU 2011-02 requires the disclosure of the information required by ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which we adopted effective December 31, 2010, relative to modifications of financing receivables for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  The effective date of such guidance was deferred by ASU 2011-01, “Receivables (Topic 310) Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.”  Our adoption of ASU 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
