RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Newly Adopted In July 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-7, “Health Care Entities” (Topic 954): Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities. ASU 2011-7 requires healthcare organizations to present their provision for doubtful accounts related to patient service revenue as a deduction from revenue, similar to contractual discounts. In addition, all healthcare organizations will be required to provide certain disclosures designed to help users understand how contractual discounts and bad debts affect recorded revenue in both interim and annual financial statements. ASU 2011-7 is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company has early adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2011, and the change in presentation and additional disclosures are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and in Note 2. In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. ASU 2010-28 requires Step 2 of the impairment test be performed in circumstances where the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative and there are qualitative factors that indicate it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. ASU 2010-28 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2011, and is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-24, “Health Care Entities” (Topic 954): Presentation of Insurance Claims and Related Insurance Recoveries. This ASU eliminates the practice of netting claim liabilities with expected related insurance recoveries for balance sheet presentation. Claim liabilities are to be determined with no regard for recoveries and presented gross. Expected recoveries are presented separately. The Company has adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2011, and the change in presentation has been reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012. The adoption has not significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-23, “Health Care Entities” (Topic 954): Measuring Charity Care for Disclosure. Due to the lack of comparability existing as a result of the use of either revenue or cost as the basis for disclosure of charity care, this ASU standardizes cost as the basis for charity care disclosures and specifies the elements of cost to be used in charity care disclosures. ASU 2010-23 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2011, and is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial statement disclosures. Recently Issued In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income” (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Instead, ASU 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income” (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU amends ASU 2011-05 to defer the requirement to measure and present reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income by income statement line item in net income and also in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although it will change the presentation of the Company’s other comprehensive income for all periods presented. In August 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption is permitted. ASU 2011-08 is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
