NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, depreciation expense, allowance for doubtful accounts, long-lived assets, pension and postretirement expenses and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company records deferred taxes that arise from temporary differences between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company's deferred taxes result principally from differences in the timing of depreciation and in the accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits. A valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax assets which are not expected to be realized.

Accounting Policies

There were no material changes to the Company's other accounting policies as presented in Item 8 of the Company's Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012.
