NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASU 2011-04
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” which amends the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements as well as clarifies existing fair value measurement guidance and new disclosure requirements. Amendments in this ASU include: (1) allow an entity to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities which have offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk and meet certain conditions on a net basis; (2) for Level 3 fair value measurements, entities must disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, entities must disclose the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; (4) entities must disclose the highest-and-best use of a nonfinancial asset when this use differs from the asset's current use, and the reason for the difference; and (5) disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with no early adoption permitted. All required disclosures are included in Note 13 of the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” which revises the manner in which entities can present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance requires entities to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either (1) a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Under either method of presentation, entities are also required to present adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in both net income and other comprehensive income.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05" which defers the requirement within ASU 2011-05 to present reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements pending further deliberation by the FASB.
ASU 2011-05 requires retrospective application and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We will continue to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in separate but consecutive financial statements and will evaluate the impact of the requirements deferred by ASU 2011-12 at which time they become effective.
ASU 2011-11
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” which creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity's rights of offset associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. ASU No. 2011-11 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As the requirements of this ASU relate only to disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2012-02
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment", which allows an entity to perform a qualitative assessment of the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset before calculating the fair value of the asset. If, through the qualitative assessment, the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying value, the quantitative impairment test would be unnecessary. The qualitative assessment is optional, allowing entities to go directly to the quantitative assessment. This update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
