(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

        In May 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance on fair value measurements to clarify certain disclosure requirements and improve consistency with international reporting standards. This amendment is to be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company's fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012. The adoption did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

        The FASB amended existing guidance on reporting comprehensive income in June 2011 to require entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendment does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income under current accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This guidance was effective for the Company's fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012. The adoption did not have a material effect on prospective financial statements.

        In August 2011, the FASB approved a revised accounting standard to simplify the testing of goodwill for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess defined qualitative factors in determining whether it is necessary to perform the goodwill impairment test. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected to adopt this guidance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

        In December 2011, the FASB amended disclosure concerning offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments in the update requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This scope would include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the prospective effects, if any, of adopting this guidance.

        In July 2012, the FASB further amended existing guidance on testing indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments are intended to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. This update applies to all entities, both public and nonpublic, that have indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, reported in their financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the prospective effects, if any, of adopting this guidance.

        In August 2012, the FASB issued technical amendments and corrections to SEC sections, effective for the period ended September 30, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

        In October 2012, the FASB issued technical corrections and improvements, which include revisions to prior guidance on numerous topics, including Convertible Debentures. The effective date of these revisions is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the prospective effects, if any, of adopting this guidance.
