New Accounting Pronouncements	2. New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2013-02 requires presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and by net income line item. This new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for the Company on November 1, 2013. As this guidance only impacts the presentation and disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, the adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 allows entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test currently required. The updated guidance became effective for the Company on November 1, 2012. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 requires the components of net income and other comprehensive income to be either presented in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, which indefinitely defers the requirement to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented, while the FASB further deliberated this aspect of the proposal. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. Both issuances on the presentation of comprehensive income became effective for the Company on November 1, 2012. As this guidance only amends the presentation of the components of comprehensive income, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
