Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2012-02 amending Codification topic 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The amendment is intended to reduce cost and complexity, in addition to enhancing consistency of impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories by permitting entities to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to calculate an asset’s fair value when testing an indefinite-lived asset for impairment. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operating or cash flows. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 amending Codification topic 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The amendment simplifies how goodwill is tested for impairment by permitting entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two step goodwill impairment test. The amendment is effective for the interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 amending Codification Topic 220 – Comprehensive Income. The amendment requires that other comprehensive income be either presented in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, the amendment requires the disclosure of reclassification adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. The amendment is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. This standard only affected the Company’s presentation of comprehensive income and did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 amending Codification Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The amendments were intended to result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendment expands and enhances current disclosures about fair value measurement and clarifies the FASB’s intent regarding the application of existing fair value measurement requirements in certain circumstances. The amendments are effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. Adoption of the amendment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26 amending Codification Topic 944 – Financial Services – Insurance; Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts. The amendment clarifies which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral. In addition, the amendment limits deferrable costs that can be capitalized to those that are incremental direct costs related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts. The amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within a fiscal year, beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance is to be applied prospectively upon effectiveness of the amendment, with retrospective application permitted, but not required. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively in the first quarter of 2012. The amount of acquisition costs capitalized during the current year under the adopted guidance compared with the amount of acquisition costs that would have been capitalized during the year if the entity’s previous policy had been applied resulted in decreases in amounts capitalized of $1.2 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
