New Accounting Standards Updates [Abstract]

Description of New Accounting Pronouncements

(2) New Accounting Standards Updates

Standards Updates Adopted

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” The ASU specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments to this guidance also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The adoption of the ASU will impact disclosures in future interim and annual financial statements issued if the Company enters into business combinations.

Standards Updates Issued, Not Yet Effective

During September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.” The objective of this ASU is to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendments allow entities to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test per Topic 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.” The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Upon adoption, this ASU will impact the way the Company tests goodwill for impairment and the associated disclosures in future interim and annual financial statements issued will be updated to reflect any changes associated with this ASU.

During June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The amendments in this ASU will impact all entities that report items of other comprehensive income and are effective retrospectively for public entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments provide the entity with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Both options require an entity to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with total other comprehensive income and a total amount for comprehensive income. The adoption of this ASU will impact the presentation of comprehensive income in future interim and annual financial statements issued.

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The ASU is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, liability or an instrument classified in stockholders’ equity in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring and disclosing information about fair value measurements, however, the amendments are not intended to result in a change in the application of the requirement of Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The adoption of this ASU may impact disclosures in future interim and annual financial statements issued.
