NOTE 2 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company adopted accounting guidance related to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The guidance clarifies the determination of a transferor’s continuing involvement in a transferred financial asset and limits the circumstances in which a financial asset should be removed from the balance sheet when the transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset. See Note 3, Sales of Accounts Receivable, for additional details.
