Recent Accounting Pronouncements</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In December&#160;2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#8220;FASB&#8221;) issued Accounting Standards Update (&#8220;ASU&#8221;) No.&#160;2011-11, &#8220;Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.&#8221; ASU 2011-11 will require the Company to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January&#160;1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures are to be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not expect that this guidance will have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it is disclosure-only in nature.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In September&#160;2011, the FASB amended its guidance to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The amendment will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity no longer will be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendment became effective for the Company&#8217;s interim period ended March&#160;31, 2012. This guidance did not materially impact the Company&#8217;s financial position or results of operations.</font></div></div>
