Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

In January 2010, the FASB issued an update which requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and expanded disclosures for activity in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The update also clarifies existing disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation for disclosure and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this update on January 1, 2010 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. The disclosures regarding certain Level 3 activity are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2011 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units withZero or Negative Carrying Amounts

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance which modifies step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units with a carrying amount equal to or less than zero for which qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, step 2 of the goodwill impairment test will need to be performed. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption of this update is prohibited. The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2011 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and the results of operations.

Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance which specifies that if comparative financial statements are presented, disclosure of revenue and earnings of a combined entity should be made as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This guidance is effective for business combinations consummated in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2011 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and the results of operations.

Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update which clarifies some existing concepts, eliminates wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, changes some principles to achieve convergence between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The update results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application of this update by public entities is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2012 will have on its consolidated financial position and the results of operations.

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of equity. This guidance should be applied, retrospectively, for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Other than the change in presentation, the Company has determined the changes from the adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2012 will not have an impact on its consolidated financial position and the results of operations.
