Implemented:

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).” This ASU modifies the first step of the goodwill impairment test to include reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For these reporting units, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, when it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted this ASU and will apply its guidance when annual goodwill impairment testing is performed although it is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805).” This ASU specifies that if a company presents comparative financial statements, the company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The ASU also expands the supplemental pro-forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro-forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the pro-forma revenue and earnings. This ASU is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted this ASU but was not subject to the disclosure requirements in the first six months of 2011 due to the immateriality of the acquisitions made by the Company during the period.

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) — Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This ASU eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have objective and reliable evidence of fair value before a company can recognize the portion of the consideration that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. Additionally, under the new guidance, the relative selling price method is required to be used in allocating consideration between deliverables and the residual value method will no longer be permitted. This ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning in fiscal 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Not yet Implemented:

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).” The ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how (not when) to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. While the ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands ASC 820’s existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. The amendments could change how the fair value measurement guidance in ASC 820 is applied. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is in the process of assessing this new guidance but the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220).” This ASU revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company will adopt the requirements of this ASU.
