New Accounting Standards

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2012-02, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangibles Assets for Impairment (revised standard). The revised standard is intended to reduce the costs and complexity of the annual impairment testing by providing entities an option to perform a "qualitative" assessment to determine whither further impairment testing is necessary. This ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company will consider this new guidance as it conducts its annual impairment testing in 2013 as the Company has chosen not to early adopt this ASU for its 2012 testing.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)," which revised the manner in which the Company presents comprehensive income in the financial statements. The new guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU did not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income.

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance enhancing disclosure requirements on the nature of an entity’s right to offset and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative instruments. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the gross amounts subject to rights of set-off, amounts offset in accordance with the accounting standards followed, and the related net exposure. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods therein. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
