In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02).

Dropped from FY2013

This standard provides new accounting guidance that permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.

Dropped from FY2013

An entity would continue to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the asset fails the qualitative assessment, while no further analysis would be required if it passes.

Dropped from FY2013

This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2014; we do not expect the new guidance to have a material effect on our financial statements.
