The new guidance essentially clarifies the FASB's intent concerning the application of existing offsetting disclosure requirements. Entities will be required to disclose gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and activities that are subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This scope includes derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements, reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending arrangements. The objective of this disclosure is to converge U.S. GAAP and international accounting standards. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">January&#160;1, 2013</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">, and interim periods within those annual periods and requires retrospective disclosures for all comparative periods presented.&#160; The adoption of this guidance will impact our financial statement disclosures, but it will not affect our financial position or results of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160; Recent accounting guidance not discussed above is not applicable, did not have, or is not expected to have a material impact to our business.&#160; </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div></div>
