Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08 amends existing guidance by giving an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this is the case, companies will need to perform a more detailed two-step goodwill impairment test which is used to identify potential goodwill impairments and to measure the amount of goodwill impairment losses to be recognized, if any. ASU 2011-08 became effective on January 1, 2012 and will be applicable to us in our second quarter 2012. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).” The adoption of

ASU 2011-04 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The adoption of ASU 2011-05 concerns presentation and disclosure only.
