RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

26. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued amended accounting guidance to enhance disclosure requirements for instruments and transactions no longer eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement.  This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The Company has concluded that no such netting has been in effect and that the change will have no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
