Note 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On January 1, 2012, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. ASU 2011-08 amends existing guidance by giving an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test, as currently prescribed by ASC Topic 350. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
