NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of October 31, 2008 and for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of business
Chatsworth Data Solutions, Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiary Chatsworth Data Corporation ("CDC"), manufactures equipment for optical readers and read heads, impact recorders and indicators. The Company's fiscal year-end is January 31. On June 13, 2008, shareholders holding approximately 72% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to change the name of the Company from Chatsworth Data Solutions, Inc. to International Data Solutions, Inc. A certificate of amendment reflecting the name change will be filed after dissemination of the Company’s definitive information statement to its shareholders is complete.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
On December 11, 2008, the CDC received a notice of default from the Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. (“BOK”) regarding its revolving credit agreement (see Note 3). BOK advised CDC that it was not in compliance with certain provisions of the credit agreement and had a 20 day period to cure the default. In the event that CDC fails to cure the default within the 20 day cure period, BOK may pursue further action including acceleration of all amounts due and/or foreclosure of BOK’s security interest in substantially all of CDC’s assets. The Company, as guarantor, and CDC are currently in discussions with BOK to seek a waiver or forbearance of the default or to amend the credit agreement.
In addition, the Company is in default on $1,500,000 of notes payables due to predecessor shareholders (see Note 2), is in default on $220,000 note payable to MKM Opportunity Fund (see Note 2), and is deemed to be in default on $754,600 registration payment penalty promissory note (see Note 4).
As of October 31, 2008, the Company had cash on hand of $181,804 and had no availability under its financing arrangements. During the nine months ended October 31, 2008, the Company incurred a net loss of $7,803,806 and used cash in operations of $612,011. Based on third quarter operating results resulting from slower than anticipated sales and the Company’s assessment of the business environment for the balance of 2008, management does not believe that the Company will achieve positive cash flow from operations until at least the second quarter of 2009.
Existing cash balance at October 31, 2008 will not be sufficient to meet its obligations under the Company’s revolving credit agreement, note payable to MKM, obligations under notes payable to predecessor shareholders, working capital requirements, and capital expenditure and investment requirements for the next 12 months. If the Company is not able to obtain some liquidity, either from loans or other means, the Company may be forced to cease activity and seek bankruptcy protection.
7
The Company is exploring alternatives to improve liquidity, including raising capital, refinancing outstanding debt, or the potential sale of assets. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain a waiver, forbearance or amendment from BOK, MKM, or predecessor shareholders, or that such a waiver, forbearance or amendment would be on terms acceptable to the Company. There is also no assurance that additional financing will be available at all or that, if available, such financing will be obtainable on terms favorable to the Company or that any additional financing will not be dilutive.
As of October 31, 2008, these items among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, filed with the SEC. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. Certain prior year's amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets are related to the Company's acquisition of CDC in August 2006. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which are three years for customer relations and five years for propriety technology.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually at January 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The Company previously evaluated its goodwill at January 31, 2008, and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be assessed. The Company previously evaluated its other intangible assets with finite lives at January 31, 2008, and determined that there was no impairment of other intangible assets.
8
Based on a combination of factors, including deterioration in the economic environment, a significant decrease in the Company’s market capitalization as a result of a decrease in the trading price of its common stock, and the Company’s continuing operating losses, the Company has determined that indicators of impairment exist at October 31, 2008. The Company performed an assessment of the fair value of its goodwill and other intangible assets at October 31, 2008 and determined they were impaired. The assessment included the determination of the fair value of CDC, the reporting unit, using a discounted cash flow approach. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of goodwill and other intangible assets of $4,820,003 during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008. There was no impairment charges recorded during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2007.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options or other securities or contracts entitling the holder to acquire shares of common stock were exercised or converted, resulting in the issuance of additional shares of common stock that would then share in earnings. However, diluted loss per share does not consider such dilution as its effect would be anti-dilutive. In computing basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, the Company considers shares to be issued as outstanding from the date the shares were sold.
At October 31, 2008 potentially dilutive securities entitling the holder thereof to acquire shares of common stock are summarized as follows:
Options to purchase common stock | 7,787,500 | |||
Warrants to purchase common stock | 12,103,000 |
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008, these options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effects are anti-dilutive.
Stock compensation costs
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment”, effective February 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remained unvested on the effective date.
The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" and EITF No. 00-18: "Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees" whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
Registration payment arrangements
The Company accounts for registration payment arrangements under Financial Accounting Standards board (FASB) Staff Position EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements ("FSP EITF 00-19-2"). FSP EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. FSP EITF 00-19-2 was issued in December, 2006. Early adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 is permitted and the Company adopted FSP EITF 00-19-2 effective November 1, 2006.
9
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value
Effective February 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB finalized FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This Staff Position delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), "Business Combinations" (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51". SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS No. 161"), to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 applies to fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

The notes were amended October 31, 2007 and March 19, 2008.

NOTE 3 - LINE OF CREDIT
On September 30, 2008, the Company entered into a third amendment to its revolving credit agreement dated December 31, 2006.

The agreement is subject to a borrowing base and is secured by all accounts receivable and inventory of the Company. On April 3, 2008, the Company entered into a second amendment to its revolving credit agreement, which was effective February 29, 2008 and extended the term of the revolving credit agreement to February 28, 2009, when all amounts outstanding are due and payable. All advances bear interest at prime plus 2% (6% at October 31, 2008) and are payable monthly in arrears. The revolving credit agreement, as amended, provides for a standby fee of 2% of the unused portion of the facility. At October 31, 2008, outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $1,049,892, which was in excess of its borrowing base by approximately $156,000. Amounts outstanding under this line of credit at January 31, 2008 $1,757,593. Beginning October 31, 2008, the line of credit requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, which the Company did not meet. On December 11, 2008, the CDC received a notice of default from the Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. (“BOK”) regarding its revolving credit agreement. BOK advised CDC that it was not in compliance with certain provisions of the credit agreement and had a 20 day period to cure the default. In the event that CDC fails to cure the default within the 20 day cure period, BOK may pursue further action including acceleration of all amounts due and/or foreclosure of BOK’s security interest in substantially all of CDC’s assets. The Company, as guarantor, and CDC are currently in discussions with BOK to seek a waiver or forbearance of the default or to amend the credit agreement.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE, REGISTRATION PAYMENT PENALTY
On April 3, 2008, the Company reached an agreement with investors holding certain registration rights under an August 2006 Investor Rights Agreement, whereby the Company was obligated to file a registration statement covering the investors' shares and to have such registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within a specified period of time. Failure to meet its obligations under the Investor Rights Agreement resulted in the Company incurring monetary penalties to the investors. With the execution of the Penalty Settlement Agreement on April 3, 2008, the parties to the Investor Rights Agreement agreed to cease any further accrual of the late registration penalties under such agreement, and the Company issued promissory notes to the investors in the aggregate amount of $754,600, reflecting the total accrued late registration penalties through February 29, 2008.

If the Adjusted Share Price of the Company's common stock is equal to or greater than $.25 for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days the Company has the option of paying any or all of the accrued interest on the notes payable in its common stock. The agreement relieves the Company of any further obligation to register the investors' shares that were the subject of a pending registration statement. One provision of the notes payable is that if the Company admits an inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, the notes payable are deemed to be in default. Accordingly, the notes payable, registration rights agreement are deemed to be in default as of October 31, 2008, and as a consequence, the loans became due immediately, and loan interest increased to 18% per annum.

Company Overview
Chatsworth Data Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada as Adera Mines Limited on December 30, 2003, and until August 2006 was an exploration stage corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search for mineral deposits (reserves) which are not in either the development or production stage. In August 2006, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Chatsworth Data Corporation (CDC), a manufacturer of optical readers and read heads, scanners, impact recorders and indicators. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 Business Combinations. In November, 2006, the Company changed its name from Adera Mines Limited to Chatsworth Data Solutions, Inc. to reflect the acquisition and operation of CDC.
.
Prior to August 2006, CDC was privately owned. It was acquired from Republic Corporation in 1971 by five Republic managers, four of whom managed CDC until the sale. CDC's corporate headquarters are in Chatsworth, California, thirty miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Its primary business has been the development and manufacture of optical mark readers. Over 100,000 readers and 110,000 optic head assemblies have been sold worldwide by CDC. The optical mark readers have been traditionally sold into four vertical market sectors: education, gaming and lottery, health care, and vote tabulation. CDC also manufactures impact recording devices and cable testers. CDC prides itself on customer service; its engineering and design staff is able to understand client's technical problems and offer ready solutions to those problems. A customer hotline was installed over fifteen years ago to enable field problems to be handled quickly, efficiently and effectively. New products are designed and brought to market quickly in response to customer demand.
Results of operations – For the three months ended October 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended October 31, 2007.
Sales revenue totaled $1,440,469 for the three months ended October 31, 2008 and $2,175,163 for the three months ended October 31, 2007. Following is a table indicating the sales for the respective periods.

Total | $ | 1,440,469 | $ | 2,175,163 |
Sales of Optical Mark Readers declined due to reduced sales in the Education market. The quarter ended October 31, 2007 included sales to a customer that did not repeat in the current quarter. There was an increase in sales in the Voting market which were negligible in the quarter ended October 31, 2007. The Company believes that the reduced sales in the gaming market are a result of a decline in purchases of new equipment which is evident in the overall gaming market. The Company has developed a new scanner product and sales of scanners were $35,227 in the current quarter. The Company anticipates the sales of scanners will increase in the future and may enable it to increase its sales in several of the vertical markets in the coming year. The Company no longer actively markets the Cablemaster product and any future sales will be negligible.
Cost of sales totaled $951,047 for the three months ended October 31, 2008 and $1,458,903 for the three months ended October 31, 2007. Gross margin percentage was 34.0% for the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 32.9% for the three months ended October 31, 2007. The increased gross margin percentage is the result of Impact recorders/indicators making up a larger percentage of sales. Impact recorders/indicators have a larger gross margin percentage than due Optical Mark Readers. The increase in gross margin due the change in the mix of sales is partially offset by the need to spread manufacturing overhead over a small volume of sales.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled $711,229 for the three months ended October 31, 2008 and $917,286 for the three months ended October 31, 2007.

The Company recognized an impairment charge of $4,820,003 for goodwill and amortizable intangible assets. These assets were recorded a result of the acquisition of CDC in August 2006. The Company performed an analysis of the carrying value of the goodwill and the unamortized balance of certain intangible assets and determined that an impairment charge was necessary. The analysis included the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit, using a discounted cash flow approach. The carrying value exceeded the fair value of the unit. A comparison of the market value of the Company’s common stock the Company’s equity supported the determination that an impairment charge was warranted. The Company then measured the amount of the impairment loss and recorded the loss in the current quarter ended October 31, 2008. No such impairment charge was recorded in the quarter ended October 31, 2007.
The Company did not record an income tax expense or benefit for the three months ended October 31, 2008. However the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $39,017 for the quarter ended October 31, 2007.
The net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2008 was $(5,415,762) compared to net loss of $(736,410) for the three months ended October 31, 2007.

Total | $ | 4,066,779 | $ | 6,536,237 |
Sales of Optical Mark Readers declined in all vertical markets served by the Company. The Company believes that the reduced sales in the voting market is a result of customers delaying updating current voting systems and delaying the purchase of new voting systems until after the fall 2008 elections. The Company believes that the reduced sales in the gaming market are a result of a decline in purchases of new equipment which is evident in the overall gaming market. The reduced sales in the Education market is primarily the result of one customer not repeating its orders during the current nine months ended October 31, 2008. The Company has developed a new scanner product which it anticipates will enable it to increase its sales in several of the vertical markets during the coming year. Sales of scanners were $35,277 in the nine months ended October 31, 2008. The Company no longer actively markets the Cablemaster product and any future sales will be negligible.

Cost of sales totaled $2,776,221 for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and $4,173,837 for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. Gross margin percentage was 31.73% for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 36.14% for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The reduced gross margin percentage is due to the need to spread fixed manufacturing costs over a smaller volume of sales.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled $3,153,907 for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and $3,106,920 for the nine months ended October 31, 2007.

In addition, starting April 1, 2008, the interest rate of the outstanding promissory notes will increase to 9.54% from 6.54% at January 31, 2008. No other terms of the notes were modified. The increase in rate will result in approximately $45,000 of additional annual interest expense based on the current amount of the notes payable. The principal of the note in the amount of $220,000 to MKM Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. and all accrued interest was due on July 20, 2008. The note and accrued interest remains unpaid as of August 31, 2008. The note bears interest at 12% until maturity and after that date bears interest at 18% per annum. In addition, the Company is obligated to MKM Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. in the amount of $20,000 which represents a commitment fee payable as the note was not paid by August 20, 2008.

Going concern
Existing cash balance at October 31, 2008 will not be sufficient to meet its obligation under its revolving credit agreement, the note to MKM Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd., the notes to the selling shareholders, working capital requirements, capital expenditure and investment requirements for the next 12 months. The Company did not make the interest payment due on the shareholders notes of approximately $25,000 due September 31, 2008, did not make principal payments of $500,000 due on the shareholders notes due October 31, 2008, and does not anticipate having sufficient funds to make the interest payment due on December 31, 2008 of approximately $25,000. If the Company is not able to obtain some liquidity, either from loans or other means, the Company may be forced to cease activity and seek bankruptcy protection. The Company is exploring alternatives to improve liquidity, including raising capital, refinancing outstanding debt, or the potential sale of assets. There is no assurance additional financing will be available at all or that, if available, such financing will be obtainable on terms favorable to the Company or that any additional financing will not be dilutive. As of October 31, 2008, these items among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2008 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred and title has passed, the selling price is both fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured, all of which generally occurs upon shipment of the Company’s product or delivery of the product to the destination specified by the customer.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets and goodwill are related to the Company's acquisition of CDC in August 2006. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which are three years for customer relations and five years for propriety technology. In addition to amortization, intangible assets are tested at least annually for impairment.
21
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquired entity over the net of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, or whenever events or circumstances indicate an impairment may exist, by using a two-step process. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit, estimated using a discounted cash flows approach, is compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.
Stock-based compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including stock option grants, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The standard applies to newly granted awards and previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the date of adoption. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires that compensation expense for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered and that are outstanding as of the adoption date be recorded over the remaining service period. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on February 1, 2006, the Company had no share-based payments. Accordingly, no prior periods have been restated, the impact of SFAS 123(R) is not presented, and no pro forma amounts are presented for 2005 had the Company recognized stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123.
The Company accounts for options and warrants granted to non-employees under SFAS No. 123(R) and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to other than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. The Company measures the fair value of such options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at each financial reporting date.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a Company obtains control over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.
22
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS No. 161"), to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 applies to fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.
The Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
