Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The following accounting standards have been adopted in 2012:
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued changes related to fair value measurement and disclosure.  The changes are the result of convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards and clarify certain fair value measurement concepts and expand on existing disclosure requirements on Level 3 fair value measurements.  The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted FASB issued changes related to the presentation of comprehensive income.  The changes remove certain presentation options and require entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements.  There were no changes to the items that are reported in other comprehensive income.  In December 2011, the FASB indefinitely deferred a requirement dealing with the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  Other than the sequencing of financial statements, the adoption of these changes did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted FASB issued changes related to testing for goodwill impairment.  The changes allow for an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test.  The adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but it may impact the manner in which the Company performs testing for goodwill impairment.
The following accounting standard has been issued and becomes effective for the Company at a future date:
In December 2011, the FASB issued changes related to offsetting assets and liabilities.  The changes require additional disclosure information regarding offsetting assets and liabilities to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect on financial position.  Management is currently evaluating these changes and believes that it may require additional disclosure, but will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with retrospective application required.
