Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that amends the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements. This ASU increases the prominence of comprehensive income in financial statements while eliminating the option in U.S. GAAP to present comprehensive income in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and requires full retrospective application. We have adopted this ASU in the current year by presenting the comparative components of comprehensive income within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (unaudited).

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting update that gives companies the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. Companies will be required to perform the two-step impairment test only if it concludes that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying value. The accounting update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. We do not expect that adoption of this accounting standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.
