RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AFFECTING THE COMPANY

During the first quarter, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  Upon adoption an entity is required 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 amendments in this guidance are effective for the Company for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is still evaluating the effects of adoption.
