NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855), Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.” This Standard update requires a SEC Filer to (1) evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued, (2) defines “SEC Filer” as an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with either the SEC or, with respect to an entity subject to Section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the appropriate agency under that Section, (3) not be bound to disclosing the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, (4) note the definition of public entity is not longer defined nor necessary for Topic 855, (5) note the scope of the reissuance disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only. These Updates are effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. ASU No. 2010-09 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-08, “Technical Corrections to various Topics.” This Standard is being updated to eliminate outdated or inconsistent GAAP standards and to clarify the Boards original intent mainly with regards to derivatives and hedging. This is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. ASU No. 2010-08 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” related to ASC Topic 820-10.  This update requires new disclosures to; transfers in or out of Levels 1 and 2, activity in Level 3fair value measurements, Level of disaggregation, and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. This amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU No. 2010-06 has no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01, amends SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Standard codified in ASC 105 is being modified to include the authoritative and non-authoritative levels of GAAP. This amendment is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. ASU No. 2010-01 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

 

In January, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The standard amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to require additional disclosures related to transfers between levels in the hierarchy of fair value measurement. The standard does not change how fair values are measured. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. As a result, it is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have a material impact on consolidated its financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which is now part of ASC 105-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). ASC 105-10 replaces FASB Statement No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles", and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. ASC 105-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB amended ASC 810 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)).  The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity.  ASC 810 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The Company will adopt ASC 810 in fiscal 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASC 810 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB amended ASC 860, (formerly SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140).  ASC 860 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. ASC 860 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company will adopt ASC 860 in fiscal 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASC 860 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
