Item 8.01 Other Events.
Southern California Gas Company (also referred to as “we,” “ us” and “our”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect the retrospective adoption of a new accounting pronouncement with respect to the financial information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K). As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2012), effective January 1, 2012, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), and ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12).
ASU 2011-05 amends Accounting Standards Codification Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, and eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The ASU allows an entity an option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. We have elected to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in two separate, but consecutive, statements.
ASU 2011-12 defers the requirement to separately present on the face of the statement of operations or statement of comprehensive income reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 did not change our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows for any periods.
The following presents the retrospective application of ASU 2011-05, as revised by ASU 2011-12, for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and should be read in conjunction with the information in our 2011 Form 10-K (dollars in millions):
