New Accounting Pronouncements
2. New Accounting Pronouncements

During the first quarter of 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The Company elected to present the requirements in the notes to the financial statements (see Note 12). The adoption of the new pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to net its liability for unrecognized tax benefits against the deferred tax assets for all same jurisdiction net operating losses or similar tax loss carryforwards, or tax credit carryforwards. A gross presentation will be required only if such carryforwards are not available as of reporting date to settle any additional income taxes resulting from disallowance of the uncertain tax position or the entity does not intend to use these carryforwards for this purpose. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. This new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There have been no other accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted by the Company which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
