In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and IFRS.  This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with  GAAP and IFRS.  ASU 2011-04 is required to be applied prospectively in interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early application is not permitted.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2011-04 and does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  This standard eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity.  The Company may elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two consecutive statements.  Each component of net income and each component of other comprehensive income, together with totals for comprehensive income and its two parts, net income and other comprehensive income, would need to be displayed under either alternative.  The statements would need to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements.  This standard does not change (i) the items that constitute net income and other comprehensive income, (ii) when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, or (iii) the computation for earnings per share, which will continue to be based on net income. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and the Company has not yet determined which method it will elect upon adoption.
