NOTE I – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, (ASU 2011-04), which is an update to Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards" ("IFRS"). The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. We adopted this new accounting

 

guidance during the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our fair value measurements, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income". The new guidance requires the presentation of components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements and eliminated the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. There is no change to the items that we must report in other comprehensive income or when we must reclassify an item of other comprehensive income to net income. We adopted this new accounting guidance during the first quarter of 2012 and because the guidance impacts presentation only, it had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which allows an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. An entity will be required to perform the two-step impairment test only if it concludes, based on a qualitative assessment, the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying value. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this new accounting guidance during the first quarter of 2012. The adoption had no impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
