Use of Estimates
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. While our management has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing at December 31, 2012, actual results could differ from those estimates and affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. The operating results for the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") updated FASB ASC 820 that resulted in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. We have adopted ASC 820 effective April 1, 2012, and it is being applied prospectively. In conjunction with adopting ASC 820, we disclosed the fair value of investments and the inputs used to estimate that fair value.

Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements.

In conjunction with adopting ASC 820, we disclosed the fair value of investments and the inputs used to estimate that fair value.
In June 2011, the FASB updated FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income (FASB ASC 220) that gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. We have adopted ASC 220 effective April 1, 2012 and in conjunction with adopting ASC 220, we chose to present the components of comprehensive income within a single statement of other comprehensive income or loss. ASC 220 affects presentation and disclosure only and therefore adoption did not affect our results as reported in our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The amendments in this Update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
