In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a final standard, requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new standard eliminates the option to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. The new requirements do not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. Also, earnings per share computations do not change. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Full retrospective application is required. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAPand International Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS"), to converge fair value measurement and disclosure guidance in U.S. GAAP with the guidance in the International Accounting Standards Board's ("IASB") concurrently issued IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 do not modify the requirements for when fair value measurements apply; rather, they generally represent clarifications on how to measure and disclose fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU 2011-04 were effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
