Note 15 — Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” This amended guidance clarifies the wording used to describe many of the requirements in accounting literature for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The goal of the amendment is to create consistency between the United States and international accounting standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or financial disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, which amends ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU allows an entity 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. The amendment no longer allows an entity to show changes to other comprehensive income solely through the statement of equity. For publicly traded entities, the guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or financial disclosures.
