Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02 “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” requires expanded disclosures for amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The guidance requires the presentation of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, a cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts is required. The guidance is to be applied prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. ASU No. 2013-02 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2013. The new guidance affects disclosures only and did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Income Taxes

The Company established a valuation allowance for all U.S. deferred tax assets as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred additional losses increasing the valuation allowance and utilized its net operating loss carry-forwards to offset tax on the gain on the sale of SCO resulting in a net decrease in the valuation allowance of $11.3 million (2012—increase of $4.0 million) to $52.6 million.

Fair Value Measurement

FASB ASC 820-10-05 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt are classified as Level 1 and Level 2 measurements, respectively. The fair values of accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as Level 2 measurements.
