Note 3. New Accounting Standards
 
Recently Issued Standards
 
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. In the case where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial reporting, and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financial statements properly reflect the change.
 
In February of 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update Apply to all entities that issue financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP and that report items of comprehensive income. The total of other comprehensive income for a period shall be transferred to a component of equity that is presented separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in a statement of financial position at the end of an accounting period. A descriptive title such as accumulated other comprehensive income shall be used for that component of equity. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.
 
The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
