Basis of Presentation, Business Operations and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

1. Basis of Presentation, Business Operations and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013, and related notes thereto contained in Champion Industries, Inc.’s Form 10-K filed January 29, 2014. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet information as of October 31, 2013 was derived from our audited financial statements.

Reclassifications and Revisions: Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. The Company's operations comprising its former Donihe Graphics division, Blue Ridge Printing division and the Herald-Dispatch Newspaper segment were classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. (see Note 11).

Newly Issued Accounting Standards

Effective July 1, 2009, changes to the ASC are communicated through an ASU. As of January 31, 2014, the FASB has issued ASU’s 2009-01 through 2014-05. The Company reviewed each ASU and determined that they will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, other than related disclosures to the extent applicable.
