3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASC ASU 2011-04). ASC ASU 2011-04 will result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). These disclosures include: (a) information about transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (b) information about the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those unobservable inputs; and (c) the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which the fair value of such items is required to be disclosed. The adoption of ASC ASU 2011-04 in the fourth quarter of 2012 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASC ASU 2011-05). ASC ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity; however, it does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. ASC ASU 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but continuous statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASC ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”. ASC ASU 2011-12 defers the effective date pertaining to the requirement in ASC ASU 2011-05 regarding the reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. The adoption of ASC ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASC ASU 2011-12, will become effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2013. The adoption of ASC ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASC ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (ASC ASU 2011-08). ASC ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it need not perform the two-step impairment test. The Company adopted ASC ASU 2011-08 in the second quarter of 2012.
