11. New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update to its authoritative guidance which allows only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. The guidance is effective in two stages: the requirement to present a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements is effective for us beginning January 1, 2012; however the requirement to present the reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements has been deferred by the FASB indefinitely, pending further deliberations on this requirement. We adopted the first stage of this update on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this update affects presentation only and therefore, did not impact our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
