Receivables – Topic 310
Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU 2010-20”), was issued in July 2010. ASU 2010-20 significantly enhances disclosures that entities must make about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the ASU to give financial statement users greater transparency about entities’ credit-risk exposures and the allowance for credit losses. The disclosures provide financial statement users with additional information about the nature of credit risks inherent in entities’ financing receivables, how credit risk is analyzed and assessed when determining the allowance for credit losses, and the reasons for the change in the allowance for credit losses. Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update 2010-20” (“ASU 2011-01”), was issued in January 2011 and delayed the effective date of the ASU 2010-20 disclosures pertaining to troubled debt restructurings. The disclosures required by ASU 2011-01 were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2011. The provisions of ASU 2010-20 and ASU 2011-01 encouraged, but did not require, comparative disclosures for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. Effective December 31, 2010, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-20 requiring end of period disclosures about credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. Effective September 30, 2011, we adopted the remaining provisions of ASU 2010-20 and ASU 2011-01 pertaining to troubled debt restructurings. The adoption of ASU 2010-20 and ASU 2011-01 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (“ASU 2011-02”), was issued in April 2011. ASU 2011-02 provides additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a trouble debt restructuring. ASU 2011-02 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011 and was applied retrospectively to the beginning of the 2011 annual period. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Measurement – Topic 820
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“ASU 2011-04”), was issued in May 2011. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB did not intend for ASU 2011-04 to result in a change in the application of the requirements in GAAP. The amendments required by ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Comprehensive Income – Topic 220
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), was issued in June 2011.  The FASB issued ASU 2011-05 to improve the comparability, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income.  ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  Furthermore, entities must present separately on the income statement, reclassification adjustments between other comprehensive income and net income.The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, “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”), was issued in December 2011. ASU 2011-12 defers the effective date of the requirement to present separate line items on the income statement for reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The deferral amendments were made allow FASB time to consider operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments. During the deferral period, reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income should continue to be reported consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this amendment.

Intangibles-Goodwill and Other – Topic 350
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, “Testing for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”), was issued in September 2011. The objective of ASU 2011-08 is to simplify the testing of goodwill for impairment by allowing entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative test. There will no longer be a requirement to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless it is determined, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The more-likely-than-not threshold was defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The provisions of ASU 2011-08 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Balance Sheet - Topic 210
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”), was issued in December 2011 and is intended to enhance current disclosure requirements on offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The requirements in ASU 2011-11 will enable users to compare balance sheets prepared under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), which are subject to different offsetting models. The requirements will affect all entities that have financial instruments that are either offset in the balance sheet or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The required disclosures shall be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
