14.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No.2013-04, “Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-04”). The amendments in this Update provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this Update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing accounting guidance. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this Update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the financials.

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No.2013-02, “Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). The amendments in this Update supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASUs 2011-05 (issued in June 2011) and 2011-12 (issued in December 2011) for all public and private organizations. The amendments require an entity to provide additional information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company and the relevant disclosures were included in this document.

 

In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No.2013-01, “Balance Sheet” (“ASU 2013-01”). The objective of this Update is to clarify that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, and would apply to derivatives including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with accounting guidance or are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on the Company.

 

In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-06, “Business Combinations” (“ASU 2012-06”). Accounting for a business combination requires that at each subsequent reporting date, an acquirer measure an indemnification asset on the same basis as the indemnified liability or asset, subject to any contractual limitations on its amount, and for an indemnification asset that is not subsequently measured at its fair value, management’s assessment of the collectibility of the indemnification asset. This Update addresses the diversity in practice about how to interpret the terms on the same basis and contractual limitations when subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized in a government-assisted (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or National Credit Union Administration) acquisition of a financial institution that includes a loss-sharing agreement (indemnification agreement). The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the financials.

 

In October 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU 2012-04”). The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments will make the Codification easier to understand and the fair value measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments in this Update that will not have transition guidance will be effective upon issuance for both public entities and nonpublic entities. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Adoption of ASU 2012-04 did not have a material impact on the Company and the relevant disclosures were included in this document.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”. In order to defer only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, the paragraphs in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Update 2011-05. The amendments are being made to allow the FASB time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While the FASB is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before Update 2011-05.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.2011-5, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)” (“ASU 2011-5”). ASU 2011-5 gives companies the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, the company is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-5 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments in this guidance do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-5 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of ASU 2011-5 did not have a material impact on the Company and the relevant disclosures were included in this document.
