ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED |
19. ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED:
Fair
value measurement –
In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance to achieve common fair value measurement
and disclosure requirements under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and
International Financial Reporting Standards. This amended guidance provides clarification about
the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, and expands certain
other disclosure requirements. The Company is required to adopt this amended guidance for its
annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of
this amended guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Presentation of comprehensive income –
In June 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance requiring an entity 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. This amended guidance eliminates the option to present the components of
other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. In addition, this
amended guidance requires retrospective application. The Company is required to adopt this amended
guidance for its annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2012. The Company does not expect
the adoption of this amended guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
Intangibles – goodwill and other –
In September 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance for goodwill impairment testing. The
amended guidance allows an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence
of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair
value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines it is not more
likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then
performing the two-step impairment test would be unnecessary. If an entity concludes otherwise,
the entity would be required to complete the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value
of the reporting unit and then comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting
unit. The Company is required to adopt this amended guidance for its annual and interim periods
beginning March 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to have
a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
