NOTE 12.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This pronouncement changes certain fair value measurement guidance and expands certain disclosure requirements. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires companies to present items of net income, items of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity.  We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
