New Accounting Standards

NOTE 13. New Accounting Standards

In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. In November 2010, the FASB Chairman added a standing project to the FASB’s agenda to address feedback received from stakeholders on the Codification and to make other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. This perpetual project will facilitate Codification updates for technical corrections, clarifications, and improvements, and should eliminate the need for periodic agenda requests for narrow and incremental items. These amendments are referred to as Technical Corrections and Improvements. This ASU also includes amendments that identify when the use of fair value should be linked to the definition of fair value in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and contains conforming amendments to the Codification to reflect the measurement and disclosure requirements of Topic 820. These amendments are referred to as Conforming Amendments. In addition, this ASU deletes the second glossary definition of fair value that originated from AICPA Statement of Position 92-6, Accounting and Reporting by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans. The first definition originating from FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, and the third definition originating from FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, remain.

The Conforming Amendments to U.S. GAAP included in this ASU are generally non-substantive in nature. Many of the amendments conform wording to be consistent with the terminology in Topic 820 (e.g., revising market value and current market value to fair value, or mark-to-market to subsequently measure at fair value). The FASB does not anticipate that the amendments in this ASU will result in pervasive changes to current practice. However, certain amendments may result in a change to existing practice. For those amendments which the FASB deemed to be more substantive, transition guidance and a delayed effective date accompany them.

The amendments in this ASU that will not have transition guidance will be effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
