13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires additional disclosures regarding reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This requirement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012, and became effective for the Company in the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures included in its consolidated financial statements. The Company includes in accumulated other comprehensive income the cumulative translation adjustment of its foreign subsidiary.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to 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 the update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. 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 update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The requirements in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
