| New Accounting Standard |
Adoption of New Accounting Standard Testing Goodwill for Impairment: In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance allowing companies to consider qualitative factors before performing a quantitative assessment when determining whether goodwill is impaired, which was effective for goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2012. Specifically, there is no longer a requirement to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test unless the entity determines that based on qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, earnings per common share (EPS), or cash flows. |
