Note 2—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations:

In February 2013, the FASB issued an update to the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance during 2013 with no impact on the financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting for the release of a cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent entity either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a business within a foreign entity. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB updated the Codification to add the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rates (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. Prior to the issuance of this Update, only the direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) swap rate were used. This Update is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as the Company has not entered into any new derivative relationships since July 17, 2013, future derivative relationships, if any, will be evaluated under this guidance.

In July 2013, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that will require the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments are effective for public entities with fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.
