NOTE 2 — RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
     Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 220 “Comprehensive Income” Update No. 2011-05. Issued in June 2011, this update provides amendments to Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income”, which states that an entity has the option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
     FASB ASC Topic No. 820 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” Update No. 2011-04. Issued in May 2011, the amendments in this update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This update does require additional disclosures pertaining to transfers between level 1 and 2 investments, sensitivity analysis on level 3 investments, and additional categorization of disclosed fair value amounts. The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively and are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
     FASB ASC Topic No. 860, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements” Update No. 2011-03. Issued in April 2011, the amendments in this update remove, from the assessment of effective control, the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The amendments in this update also eliminate the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively to transaction or modification of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
     FASB ASC Topic No. 310, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” Update No. 2011-02. Issued in April 2011, this update provides guidance and clarification to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. In addition, the previously deferred disclosure requirements originally included in Update No. 2010-20 are effective upon adoption of this standard. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
