In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)  issued an Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”) that amended the accounting rules addressing revenue recognition for multiple- deliverable revenue arrangements by eliminating the criterion for objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the undelivered products or services. Instead, revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting provided the deliverables meet certain criteria. Additionally the ASU 2009-13 provides for elimination of the use of the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables based on their relative selling price. A hierarchy for estimating such selling price is included in the update.  The Company adopted this ASU in the three month period ended June 30, 2011 and concluded it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In January 2010, the FASB updated FASB ASC 820 that requires additional disclosures and clarifies existing disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The additional disclosures include 1) transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and 2) roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The update provides amendments that clarify existing disclosures on 1) level of disaggregation and 2) disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this ASU.  on April 1, 2010 as required and subsequently adopted on April 1, 2011, the update surrounding disclosures on level 3 fair value measurements, and concluded it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In June 2011, the FASB updated FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income (FASB ASC 220) that gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  The update does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The update does not change the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, with one amount shown for the aggregate income tax expense or benefit related to the total of other comprehensive income items.  The update does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented.  The update should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the requirements of this update and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
