14. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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”), which clarifies the wording and disclosures required in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), to converge with those used (to be used) in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The update explains how to measure and disclose fair value under ASC 820. However, the FASB does not expect the changes in this standards update to alter the current application of the requirements in ASC 820. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for public entities prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is prohibited. Therefore, ASU 2011-04 is effective for the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The eventual adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) which amended its guidance on disclosure and presentation requirements for comprehensive income. This guidance requires comprehensive income to be presented in either a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance eliminates the previously allowed option of presenting other comprehensive income as a part of changes in stockholders’ equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company has not adopted ASU 2011-05 and the eventual adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
