Recently Issued Accounting Standards [Abstract]

ASU 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. This topic permits an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis to determine whether an additional impairment test is necessary. This topic is for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption allowed. The Company early adopted this topic during the fourth quarter of 2011 in conjunction with its annual impairment testing.

Fair Value Measurements Topic 20

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This topic clarifies the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements and certain changes to principles and requirements for measuring fair value. This update is to be applied prospectively and is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2012 and it did not have an effect on its consolidated financial statements.
