Recent Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products and services separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the existing criteria for separating consideration received in multiple-deliverable arrangements, eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on vendor-specific objective evidence; third-party evidence; or management estimates. Expanded disclosures related to the Company's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements are also required. The new guidance was adopted by the Company for all revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on and after May 1, 2011 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, and expands disclosures related to activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing disclosures on the level of detail required for assets and liabilities measured at fair value from their respective line items on the statement of financial position, and the valuation techniques and inputs used in fair value measurements that fall within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Except for the disclosures related to the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, the Company adopted ASU 2010-06 as of May 1, 2010. The requirement to provide detailed disclosures about the activity for Level 3 fair value measurements was adopted by the Company as of May 1, 2011. Since the revised guidance only required additional disclosures about the Company's fair value measurements, its adoption did not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”) which amends U.S. GAAP to provide common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company does not expect ASU 2011-04 to have a significant effect on its current fair value measurements within the consolidated financial statements, however, the new guidance will result in additional disclosures which will include quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in all Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for the Company as of May 1, 2012.

There have been no other new accounting pronouncements issued that have had, or are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
