3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company which would have a material impact on our financial statements.

Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment – In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This standard, which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment, provides companies with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment before performing the two-step quantitative impairment test. If the company determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not to exceed its carrying amount, then the company would not need to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. This standard does not revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment. This standard became effective for the Company on a prospective basis commencing January 1, 2013. The adoption of this standard had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit – In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This standard requires an entity to present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction to deferred tax assets when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists, with limited exceptions. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU No. 2013-11 on our financial statements.
