In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11: Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11), which requires companies to disclose information about financial instruments that have been offset and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Companies will be required to provide both net (offset amounts) and gross information in the notes to the financial statements for relevant assets and liabilities that are offset. ASU 2011-11 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013 (the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 for the Company). The adoption of ASU 2011-11 impact financial statement presentation only; accordingly, it will have no impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08: Testing for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2011-08 amends current goodwill impairment testing guidance by providing entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (fiscal year 2013 for the Company); however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05: Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 amends current presentation guidance by eliminating the option for an entity to present the components of comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholder's equity and requires presentation of comprehensive income in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05, to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (fiscal year 2013 for the Company); however, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 and the deferrals in ASU 2011-12 impact financial statement presentation only; accordingly, they will have no impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04: Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (ASU 2011-04). This newly issued accounting standard clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
