Notes to Financial Statements | ' |
NOTE 1 - NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS | ' |
Titan Iron Ore Corp. (the Company) (formerly Digital Yearbook, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 5, 2007. Effective June 15, 2011, the Company completed a merger with its subsidiary, Titan Iron Ore Corp., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporated solely to effect a change in our name from “Digital Yearbook Inc.” to “Titan Iron Ore Corp.” effective becoming an exploration stage company. The Company’s principal business includes the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties. | |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which implies that the Company would continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at September 30, 2013 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $877,794 and has accumulated losses of $6,320,581 since inception and its operations continue to be funded primarily from sales of its stock and issuance of convertible debentures. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to seek additional capital from an equity line of credit to continue the exploration for mineral resources (see Note 13). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, including completion of the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary financing from sales of its stock financings. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ' |
Basis of Presentation | |
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. | |
Interim Financial Statements | |
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2013, with the SEC. | |
The interim financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as at September 30, 2013 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year ending December 31, 2013. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of these statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations, asset retirement obligations, financial instrument valuations, share based payments, other equity-based payments, and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. | |
Revenue Recognition | |
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured. | |
Advertising Costs | |
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | |
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. | |
If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. | |
Stock-based Compensation | |
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options. | |
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method in determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the terms of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period. | |
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. | |
Mineral Property Costs | |
The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying cost may not be recoverable under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each reporting date. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, will be capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. | |
Asset Retirement Obligations | |
The Company records asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset. ASC 410-20 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As at September 30, 2013, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligation related to the exploration of its mineral property option. | |
Comprehensive Loss | |
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. During the periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company had no items that represent other comprehensive income. | |
Financial Instruments | |
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as required by ASC 820, must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. | |
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and due to related parties approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s promissory note approximates carrying value as the underlying imputed interest rate approximates the estimated market rate. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. | |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | |
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Shares underlying these securities totaled approximately 8,367,000 as of September 30, 2013. | |
Income Taxes | |
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
Foreign Currency Matters | |
In March 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to Foreign Currency Matters to clarify the treatment of cumulative translation adjustments when a parent sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The updated guidance also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages in a foreign entity. The update is effective prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |
The Company has implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. |

NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTY OPTIONS | ' | ||
Strong Creek and Iron Mountain Properties | |||
Effective June 30, 2011 and in connection with the entry into an agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with J2 Mining Ventures Ltd. (“J2 Mining”) dated June 13, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% right, title and interest in and to a properties (Strong Creek and Iron Mountain) option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) from J2 Mining with respect to an iron ore mineral property located in Albany County, Wyoming by entering into an assignment of mineral property option agreement with J2 Mining and Wyomex LLC (the “Assignment Agreement”), whereby the Company was assigned the 100% right, title and interest in and the Option Agreement from J2 Mining. | |||
The Option Agreement assigned to the Company from J2 Mining on June 30, 2011, was originally entered into on May 26, 2011 between J2 Mining and Wyomex LLC, pursuant to which Wyomex LLC (“Optionor”), granted to J2 Mining, as optionee, an exclusive right and option to acquire 100% undivided legal and beneficial interests in and to certain unpatented lode mining claims, fee lands, leased lands, and other interests in real property situated in Albany County, Wyoming (the “Wyoming Iron Complex”). Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, J2 Mining agreed to assign all its rights and interests in the property and the Option Agreement, and transfer all of its obligations under the Option Agreement, to the Company. | |||
The term of the option commenced on May 26, 2011 and could be extended for a maximum of six successive one-month periods, at the sole election of the Company, through notice to Wyomex LLC and tender of $5,000 from the Company to Wyomex LLC for each of the first three additional months and $15,000 for each additional month for months four through six. As at September 30, 2013, total payments of $145,000 had been made. | |||
Prior to December 31, 2011, the Company provided written notice to the Optionor of its intent to exercise its option. On April 10, 2012, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement to exercise its option for consideration of $7,000,000, consisting of the following: | |||
a) | A cash payment at closing of $85,000 as an initial payment (paid on March 30, 2012); | ||
b) | $60,000 of consideration previously paid and received by the Optionor (see above); | ||
c) | A $6,855,000 promissory note with an estimated fair value of $1,061,011 on the date of issuance. See Note 6 for details. | ||
On December 7, 2012, we filed suit in state court in Albany County, Wyoming against DSS Holdings LLC and Douglas Samuelson (“Samuelson”) to regain preliminary access to our Iron Mountain holdings. This road crosses Samuelson’s property. Samuelson has locked the gate across the road providing access to the Iron Mountain holdings and denied our repeated requests for access. The suit was filed in the District Court of the Second Judicial District in Wyoming, after negotiations between the parties were unsuccessful. Under Wyoming Statute§ 1-26-507, we hoped to gain access to our property in order to conduct studies and collect samples of iron ore from the existing Iron Mountain pit and stockpile in order to evaluate the suitability of these materials to meet the specifications of potential customers. | |||
On February 11, 2013, our petition to use the road was denied. We are now pursuing the condemnation efforts and are seeking a second preliminary access hearing.. We have sent a letter to Samuelson as a requirement to condemn an easement over the road under Wyoming Statute§1-26-505 through 1-26-508 and have sent another letter as a precursor to a second preliminary access hearing. The company expects to fully resolve the access issue to allow further exploration. | |||
Sunrise Iron | |||
On April 16, 2013 the Company announced that through a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) the Company has agreed to purchase the Sunrise Iron Mining Complex from New Sunrise, LLC, for a price of $12 million. Sunrise is an iron project located in Platte County, Wyoming, consisting of fee land and patented mining claims aggregating approximately 1400 acres. | |||
In connection with the LOI, Titan paid New Sunrise a non-refundable deposit of $25,000, and Titan had 180 days to conduct due diligence investigations of the property. On October 15, 2013, the parties agreed to extend the agreement to January 15, 2014 on a non exclusive basis. The parties shall enter into a formal Purchase Agreement and Closing shall occur no later than 60 days after the end of the due diligence period. Closing is subject to financing and other customary conditions. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ' | ||||||||||||||||
NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT | ' | ||||||||||||||||
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2 | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer, credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3 | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity. | |||||||||||||||||
Pursuant to ASC 825, cash is based on "Level 1" inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values of accounts payable approximate their current fair values because of their nature or respective relatively short durations. The fair value of the Company’s promissory note approximates carrying value as the underlying imputed interest rate approximates the estimated current market rate for similar instruments. | |||||||||||||||||
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

2_SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOU1
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 9 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2013 | |
Notes to Financial Statements | ' |
Basis of Presentation | ' |
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. | |
Interim Financial Statements | ' |
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2013, with the SEC. | |
The interim financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as at September 30, 2013 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year ending December 31, 2013. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
The preparation of these statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations, asset retirement obligations, financial instrument valuations, share based payments, other equity-based payments, and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. | |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured. | |
Advertising Costs | ' |
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ' |
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. | |
If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. | |
Stock-based compensation | ' |
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options. | |
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method in determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the terms of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period. | |
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. | |
Mineral Property Costs | ' |
The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying cost may not be recoverable under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each reporting date. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, will be capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. | |
Asset Retirement Obligations | ' |
The Company records asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset. ASC 410-20 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As at September 30, 2013, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligation related to the exploration of its mineral property option. | |
Comprehensive Loss | ' |
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. During the periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company had no items that represent other comprehensive income. | |
Financial Instruments | ' |
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as required by ASC 820, must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. | |
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and due to related parties approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s promissory note approximates carrying value as the underlying imputed interest rate approximates the estimated market rate. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. | |
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share | ' |
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Shares underlying these securities totaled approximately 8,367,000 as of September 30, 2013. | |
Income Taxes | ' |
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
Foreign Currency Matters | |
In March 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to Foreign Currency Matters to clarify the treatment of cumulative translation adjustments when a parent sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The updated guidance also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages in a foreign entity. The update is effective prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |
The Company has implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. |
