In October 2009, the FASB issued Topic 605—Revenue Recognition (EITF 08-1, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB Topic 605, Revenue Recognition)) and Topic 985—Software (EITF 09-3, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to FASB Topic 985, Software)). Topic 605—Revenue Recognition requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. Topic 985—Software removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. Topic 605—Revenue Recognition and Topic 985—Software should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted these Topics on January 1, 2011, with no material impact on the overall financial statements.
