The amended guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders&#8217; equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance in our first fiscal quarter ending March&#160;31, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In September 2011, the FASB amended the guidance on the annual testing of goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance in our fourth fiscal quarter ending December&#160;31, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. </font></div></div>
