Recently Adopted Standards
 
In January 2009, the SEC issued Final Rule No. 33-9002, Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting, which requires the Company to submit financial statements in XBRL (extensible business reporting language) format with its SEC filings beginning June 30, 2011.
 
Recently Issued Standards
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05).  This standard amends guidance on the presentation of other comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income.  Under ASU 2011-05, an entity has the option 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.  The provisions under ASU 2011-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2011.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
