We do not have any repurchase agreements and do not participate in securities lending transactions. Our derivative instruments are not offset in the financial statements and are not subject to any specific right of offset provisions with our counterparties. Accordingly, this amendment did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additional information about derivative instruments can be found in Note </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">7</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In February 2013, the FASB amended Accounting Standards Codification 220, “Comprehensive Income.” This amendment requires companies to report, in one place, information about reclassifications (by component) out of accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, this amendment requires companies to present the related line item effect of significant reclassifications on the statement where income is presented. We adopted the provisions of this amendment during the first quarter 2013, which affects only the display of information and does not change existing recognition and measurement requirements in our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div></div>
