New Accounting Pronouncements In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11"), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The update requires, unless certain conditions exists, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2013-11 yet there are no uncertain tax positions included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 ("ASU 2011-11"), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The update requires companies to disclose information about financial instruments that have been offset and related arrangements to enable users of their financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on their financial position. Companies will be required to provide both net (offset amounts) and gross information in the notes to the financial statements for relevant assets and liabilities that are offset. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01 (ASU 2013-01"), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The update limits the scope of the offsetting disclosures required by ASU 2011-11. ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2012. As the requirements of these ASUs relate only to disclosures, the application of the updates did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12 ("ASU 2011-12"), Comprehensive Income: 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. ASU 2011-12 deferred the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. As part of this update, the FASB did not defer the requirement to report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02 ("ASU 2013-02"), Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2012. As ASU 2013-02 relates to disclosure requirements only, the application of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
