RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
NOTE 2.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We continuously monitor and review all current accounting pronouncements and standards from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and other authoritative sources of U.S. GAAP for applicability to our operations.

Proposed Amendments to Current Accounting Standards.  The FASB is currently working on amendments to existing accounting standards governing a number of areas including, but not limited to, accounting for leases.  In August 2010, the FASB issued an exposure draft, Leases, which would replace the existing guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases.  When and if effective, this proposed standard will likely have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.  However, as the standard-setting process is still ongoing, we are unable to determine the impact this proposed change in accounting will have on the consolidated financial statements at this time.
