RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The Company adopted new authoritative guidance on variable interests effective January 1, 2010. The amendments change the process for how an enterprise determines which party consolidates a variable interest entity (a VIE) to a primarily qualitative analysis. The party that consolidates the VIE (the primary beneficiary) is defined as the party with (1) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Upon adoption, reporting enterprises must reconsider their conclusions on whether an entity should be consolidated and should a change result; the effect on net assets will be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. This pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company elected to adopt early the new authoritative guidance on revenue recognition effective January 1, 2010. The guidance provides greater ability to separate and allocate arrangement consideration in a multiple element revenue arrangement. In addition, it will require the use of estimated selling price to allocate arrangement considerations, therefore eliminating the use of the residual method of accounting. The Company has elected to prospectively adopt these provisions. Our adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the new authoritative guidance on convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets on conversion as of January 1, 2009. The guidance requires that issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets on conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the instrument’s issuance date when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. Our Convertible Notes are within the scope of this new guidance. Therefore, we are required to separate the debt portion of our Convertible Notes from the equity portion at their fair value retrospective to the date of issuance and amortize the resulting discount into interest expense over the life of the debt. The provisions of the guidance are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon adoption and became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption will result in the recognition of approximately $138.7 million of additional interest expense, on a pre-tax basis, over the life of our Convertible Notes. See Note 15 for further details.   The Company adopted the new authoritative guidance on interim disclosure about fair value of financial instruments beginning with the period ending June 30, 2009. The guidance amends previous authoritative guidance by requiring disclosures with respect to the fair value of financial instruments in interim and annual financial statements. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition; however it did result in enhanced disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in our interim financial statements. See Note 3 for further details. </div> NOTE 2.
