Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities: In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which creates new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. Certain disclosures of the amounts of certain instruments subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements would be required, irrespective of whether the entity has elected to offset those instruments in the statement of financial position. This ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with retrospective application required. The adoption of this standard will not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations as this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure.
