24. ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED:

Fair value measurements –

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 adoption of this amended guidance on March 1, 2012, did not 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. In December 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance deferring the effective date of the June 2011 amended guidance related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments by component in both the statement where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented for further redeliberation. The Company is required to adopt the requirement to present comprehensive income in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements for its annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2012. The adoption of this amended guidance on March 1, 2012, did not 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 adoption of this amended guidance on March 1, 2012, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities –

In December 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance creating new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The Company is required to adopt this amended guidance for its annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2013. In addition, this amended guidance requires retrospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
