Note 13 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2011-04, guidance to improve consistency in application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements.  The standard is intended to clarify the application of the requirements, not to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting.  The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  Application of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, guidance to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income.  The standard eliminates the current option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The amendment 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.  The amendment does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented.  The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently does not have other comprehensive income. Should the company have other comprehensive income in the future, we will determine if we will present it on a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).”  The objective of this Update is to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. This Update permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.  The Update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011.  We do not have any goodwill recorded in our financial statements.
