3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11 related to disclosures on offsetting of assets and liabilities thereby amending Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 210, Balance Sheet. ASU No. 2011-11 requires us to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of our financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on our financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 will be effective on or after January 1, 2013 and will be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We expect to adopt ASU No. 2011-11 on January 1, 2013 on a retrospective basis. We evaluated the impact of adopting ASU No. 2011-11 and believe it will have no material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 for the presentation of comprehensive income thereby amending ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. ASU No. 2011-05 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. ASU No. 2011-05 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and applied retrospectively. In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12 to defer the effective date of certain amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU No. 2011-05 to allow FASB time to redeliberate on the matter. ASU No. 2011-12 is effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2011-05. We adopted ASU No. 2011-05 on January 1, 2012 and presented a separate statement of comprehensive loss.
In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 thereby amending ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, and clarify the application of existing fair value measurements and requirements regarding the disclosure of information about fair value measurements. The amendments were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and applied prospectively. We adopted ASU No. 2011-04 on January 1, 2012 on a prospective basis, which had no effect on our financial position or results of operations.
