The Company's significant accounting policies and estimates have not changed since December 31, 2010. In addition to the policies that existed at December 31, 2010 effective January 1, 2011, the Company established a revenue recognition policy for recent changes in sales structure to account for advertising sales made directly to advertisers under new sales arrangements with them. (See "Revenue recognition" below and Note 10). Basis of Presentation         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.         The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for the complete financial statements.         For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Principles of Consolidation         Wholly owned subsidiaries and majority owned ventures where the Company has operating and financial control, as well as variable interest entities where the Company has been deemed the primary beneficiary with power and ability to control, are consolidated. Those ventures where the Company exercises significant influence, but does not exercise operating and financial control, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company uses the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations. Results of subsidiaries acquired and accounted for under the purchase method are included in operations from the date of acquisition. Noncontrolling interests represent a noncontrolling shareholder's proportionate share of the equity in certain of the Company's consolidated entities. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Disposals are reflected at the time risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.         The Company is the primary beneficiary of the Channel 31 Group, a variable interest entity consisting of a 20% participation interest in Teleradiokompaniya 31st Kanal LLP ("Channel 31"), and a 70% and 60% interest in Prim LLP and Advertising and Marketing LLP, respectively, which provide programming content and the advertising sales function to Channel 31 (together, the "Channel 31 Group"). These interests provide the Company with a right to 60% of the economic interest of the Channel 31 Group. The Company consolidates the Channel 31 Group. As of March 31, 2011, the Channel 31 Group had assets (excluding intercompany assets) totaling $23,204 and liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities) totaling $15,442. These assets and liabilities primarily relate to broadcasting licenses, and the related deferred tax liabilities and tax contingencies assumed at acquisition of the Channel 31 Group. The Company finances the Channel 31 Group's operations during the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2011 the amount of intercompany payables of the Channel 31 Group totaled $5,507. Channel 31 Group's net loss attributable to CTC Media, Inc. stockholders totaled $122 for the three-months period ended March 31, 2011. This amount includes intercompany expenses of $181. Seasonality         The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations in overall television viewership and advertising revenues. Overall television viewership is lower during the summer months and highest in the fourth quarter. Business Segments         The Company operates in eight business segmentsCTC Network, Domashny Network, DTV Network, CTC Television Station Group, Domashny Television Station Group, DTV Television Station Group, CIS Group and Production Group. The Company evaluates performance based on the operating results of each segment, among other performance measures (Note 11). Use of Estimates         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in the financial statements include, among others, the estimate of fair values in business combinations, estimates of the fair value of the Company's common stock in determining stock- based compensation, the amortization method and periods for programming rights and sublicensing rights, useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, valuation of indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, estimates of contingencies, and the determination of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Consequently, actual results may differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition         Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, advertising services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes advertising revenues at the moment when the advertising broadcasting takes place net of Value Added Taxes ("VAT").         Historically, the Company's advertising has not generally been placed directly with advertisers. Video International placed the Company's advertising on an exclusive basis under the agency agreements. Based on such relationships with advertisers and Video International in place prior to 2011, the Company recognized the commissions paid to Video International as an offset to revenue as opposed to a cost incurred ("net basis").         Effective 2011, the Company has terminated agency agreements with Video International in respect of its network sales and sales from regional advertising placed by Moscow-based clients, and has developed a new structure for the sale of its advertising. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company's own sales house serves as the exclusive advertising sales agent for all of the Company's networks in Russia. The advertising is placed with advertisers and their agencies under direct sales arrangements with them. The Company's sales house is primarily responsible for all of the Company's national and regional advertising sales, with the exception of advertising sales to local clients of the Company's regional stations, which continue to be made through Video International.         At the same time the Company agreed a new model of cooperation with Video International based on the licensing of specialized advertising software by Video International to its sales house, together with the provision by Video International of related software maintenance and analytical support and consulting services.         Starting from January 1, 2011, following the change in the sales structure, the Company recognizes Russian advertising revenues, excluding regional advertising revenues from local clients, based on the gross amount billed to the advertisers under direct sales arrangements. Compensation expenses payable to Video International for use of advertising software, related maintenance and analytical support and consulting services are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income. Advertising sales to local clients under the agency agreements with Video International continue to be recognized net of agency commissions. See "Comparative figures" below and Note 10.         Sublicensing, own production and other revenue primarily represent revenue the Company earns from sublicensing its rights to programming and from licensing of internally-produced programming. Sublicensing and own production revenue is recognized at such time as there is persuasive evidence that a sale or arrangement with a customer exists, the underlying programming is complete and has been transferred to the customer, the licensing period has commenced and the customer can begin exploitation, the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.         Payments received in advance for advertising and other revenue are recorded as deferred revenue until earned. Fair Value Measurements         Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the standard contains three levels as follows: <ul> <li style="list-style: none"> </li> <li style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none"> Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including: (1) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and (4) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data. Level 3Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management's estimates of market participant assumptions. </li></ul>         In the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company measured at fair value for its broadcasting licenses and liabilities recognized as a result of acquisitions or as a part of impairment tests for broadcasting licenses, which were all Level 3 measurements. There were no transfers between categories during the periods presented.         The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value as of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Tests         Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, in the fourth quarter, or between annual tests if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Outside the annual review, there are a number of factors which could trigger an impairment review and these could include: <ul> <li style="list-style: none"> </li> <li style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none"> <dl compact="compact"> <dt> </dt> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">under-performance of operating segments or changes in projected results; </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">changes in the manner of utilization of an asset; </dd> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dd></dl> <dl compact="compact"> <dt> </dt> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">severe and sustained declines in the traded price of the Company's common stock that are not attributable to factors other than the underlying value of its assets; </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">negative market conditions or economic trends; and </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">specific events, such as new legislation, new market entrants, changes in technology or adverse legal judgments that the Company believes could have a negative impact on its business. </dd></dl></li></ul>         The Company determines whether an impairment of goodwill has occurred by assigning goodwill to the reporting units and comparing the carrying amount of the entire reporting unit to the estimated fair value based on discounted cash flows of the reporting unit (Step 1). If the carrying value of the reporting unit is more than the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, the Company compares the implied fair value of goodwill based on a hypothetical purchase price allocation to the carrying value of the goodwill (Step 2). If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill based on Step 2, goodwill impairment is deemed to have occurred, and the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the implied fair value of goodwill. Prior to testing goodwill for impairment, the Company compares fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets with their carrying values to determine whether the assets might be impaired. The Company has determined that its reporting units are the same as its operating segments.         Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. Any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is recognized as an impairment charge. Broadcasting licenses and tradenames are evaluated at the individual asset level.         Assessing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment is a process that requires significant judgment and involves detailed quantitative and qualitative business-specific analysis and many individual assumptions which fluctuate with the passage of time.         The Company's estimate of the cash flows its operations will generate in future periods forms the basis for most of the significant assumptions inherent in the impairment reviews. The Company's expectations of these cash flows are developed during its long- and short-range business planning processes, which are designed to address the uncertainties inherent in the forecasting process by capturing a range of possible views about key trends which govern future cash flow growth.         The Company has observed over many years a strong positive correlation between the macroeconomic performance of its markets and the size of the television advertising market and ultimately the cash flows the Company generates. With this in mind, the Company has placed a high importance on developing its expectations for the future development of the macroeconomic environment in general and the advertising market and the Company's share of it in particular. While this has involved an appreciation of historical trends, the Company has placed a higher emphasis on forecasting these market trends, which has involved detailed review of macroeconomic data and a range of both proprietary and publicly-available estimates for future market development.         The Company determines the fair values calculated in impairment tests using free cash flow models involving assumptions that are based upon what the Company believes a hypothetical marketplace participant would use in estimating fair value on the measurement date. In valuing broadcasting licenses, the Company allocates cash flows that the licenses generate both from national and regional advertising using the "direct value" method. The most significant of the assumptions used in its valuations are discussed below: <ul> <li style="list-style: none"> </li> <li style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none"> <dl compact="compact"> <dt> </dt> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">Cost of capital:    The cost of capital reflects the return a hypothetical market participant would require for a long-term investment in an asset and can be viewed as a proxy for the risk of that asset. The Company calculates the cost of capital according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model using a number of assumptions, the most significant of which is a Country Risk Premium ("CRP"). The CRP reflects the excess risk to an investor of investing in markets other than the United States and generally fluctuates with expectations of changes in a country's macroeconomic environment. If the Russian macroeconomic environment becomes less stable and the risk to investors investing in Russian markets increases, the cost of capital may increase, which in turn will decrease the fair value of the respective assets or reporting units. Additionally, changes in the financial markets, such as an increase in interest rates or an increase in the expected required return on equity by market participants within the industry, could increase the discount rate, thus decreasing the fair value of assets. The cost of capital used by the Company in its analysis ranged from 13.5% to 18.4% in 2010 and in the first quarter of 2011, based on the level of risk related to each particular asset or reporting unit. </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">Growth rate into perpetuity:    Growth rate into perpetuity reflects the level of economic growth in each of the Company's markets from the last forecasted period into perpetuity and is the sum of an estimated real growth rate, which reflects the long-term expectations for inflation. These assumptions are inherently uncertain. The growth rate into perpetuity used by the Company in its 2010 and first quarter of 2011 analysis was 4%. In its calculations, the perpetuity period starts after nine years. The Company's estimates of these rates are based on observable market data. </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">Total advertising market:    The size of the television advertising market effectively places an upper limit on the advertising revenue the Company can expect to earn. The Company's estimate of the total advertising market is developed from a number of external sources, in combination with a process of on-going consultation with operational management. In general, expenditures by advertisers tend to reflect overall economic conditions and buying patterns. Economic conditions in Russia and other CIS countries where the Company operates appear to be improving and the valuation model used by the Company assumes recovery from the downturn in the economy, which started in the middle of 2008, by 2012. If, however, such improvements are not sustainable or if the economic instability resumes, the size of the television advertising market may decrease which, in turn, may adversely affect the fair value of the respective assets or reporting units. </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">Allocation of cash flows from national advertising to broadcasting licenses:    Regional stations broadcast programming received by satellite from the Networks, including national advertising. Therefore, the Company's regional broadcasting licenses generate revenues for the Company at the Networks level. Russian television viewing data, including ratings, audience shares and related metrics, are currently gathered by TNS Russia. The TNS measurement system uses internationally recognized methods and is the standard currently used by all major television broadcasters, advertisers and advertising agencies in Russia. The audience rating for any channel is measured based on the ratings in cities included in a panel measured by TNS. The Company's assumptions on the share of national revenue generated by each of its broadcasting licenses are developed from a number of external sources, in combination with a process of on-going consultation with operational management. If the system of audience measurement were to change or the weighting of the panel of cities were to change in a manner that increased the weight in areas where the Company does not have coverage, it could impact the fair value of our reporting units and broadcasting licenses by lowering the Company's ratings. </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">Market shares:    This assumption is a function of the audience share the Company expects to generate from its reporting units, and the relative price at which the Company can sell advertising. For broadcasting licenses, the Company estimates market shares based on assumptions related to the market participants potentially willing to acquire the station in each particular region. The Company's estimates of the market shares are developed from a number of external sources, in combination with a process of on-going consultation with operational management. If the Company's audience shares or ratings, or shares or ratings of market participants, were to fall as a result, for example, of competitive pressures, the underperformance of key programs, the failure to renew licenses, or a change in the method of measuring television audiences, this would likely result in a decrease in fair value of the respective reporting units/broadcasting licenses. </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">Forecasted operating costs:    The level of cash flow generated by each operation is ultimately governed by the extent to which the Company manages the relationship between revenues and costs. The Company forecasts the level of operating costs by reference to (a) the historical absolute and relative levels of costs the Company has incurred in generating revenue in each reporting unit and regional station, (b) the operating strategy of each business, (c) specific forecasted operating costs to be incurred and (d) expectations as to what these costs would be for an average market participant. The Company's estimates of forecasted operating costs are developed from a number of external sources, in combination with a process of on-going consultation with operational management. These forecasts could vary from the Company's projections. </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"> </dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">Forecasted capital expenditure:    The size and phasing of capital expenditure, both recurring expenditure to replace retired assets and investments in new projects, has a significant impact on cash flows. The Company forecasts the level of future capital expenditure based on current strategies and specific forecast costs to be incurred, as well as expectations on what these costs would be like for an average market participant. The Company's estimate of forecasted capital expenditure is developed from a number of external sources, in combination with a process of on-going consultation with operational management. These forecasts could vary from the Company's projections.</dd></dl></li></ul>         The Company believes that the values assigned to key assumptions and estimates described above represent the most realistic assessment of future trends. In order to check the reasonableness of the fair values implied by cash flow estimates the Company also calculates the value of its common stock implied by its cash flow forecasts and compares this to actual traded values. <ul> <li style="list-style: none"> </li> <li style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none"> Impairment reviews during 2010 and first quarter of 2011 </li></ul>         In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company performed its annual impairment review, which did not result in any impairment charges.         The DTV Network reporting unit and DTV broadcasting umbrella license were the most sensitive to changes in the assumptions described above. In the 2010 impairment review, the Company concluded that the fair values of the DTV reporting unit and broadcasting license exceeded its carrying values. The level of advertising revenues that the Company earns is directly tied to its audience shares and ratings. During the first quarter of 2011, the audience share of DTV channel was below the first quarter of 2010 and the forecasted audience share, as a result of increased competition and underperformance of certain programs. This relative underperformance resulted in a corresponding decrease in forecasted future revenues. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company performed impairment review for DTV Network reporting unit DTV umbrella broadcasting license, which did not result in any impairment charges. Due to the revision of forecasted operating results in response to decreased audience share, the excess of fair values over carrying values of the DTV's reporting unit and the broadcasting umbrella license decreased from 33% and 24% to 28% and 11%, respectively, when compared with the fair values estimated during the annual 2010 impairment tests. As of March 31, 2011, the DTV Network reporting unit had $145,145 of goodwill, and $60,750 attributed to the broadcasting umbrella license.         If DTV's audience shares were to decrease further and/or fall behind the currently forecasted growth of audience share as a result, for example, of additional competitive pressures or the underperformance of key programs, this could result in a further decrease in the fair value of the DTV's reporting unit and/or broadcasting license. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations on its impairment analysis, the Company applied a hypothetical 10% decrease to the forecasted audience share of the DTV's channel. If the DTV's forecasted audience share were lower by 10%, the Company would have recognized impairment charge of its broadcasting umbrella license of approximately $22,300.         Although management considered all current information in the impairment reviews, any future changes in events or circumstances, such as changes in the economy, the planned transition to digital broadcasting, further decreases in audience shares or ratings, increased competition from cable providers, or changes in the audience measurement system, could result in decreases in the fair value of the Company's intangible assets and it is probable that the Company will have to recognize impairment charges in future periods. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments         The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in banks and any other investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less as cash and cash equivalents. Deposits in banks with an original maturity ranging from 91 to 365 days are classified as short-term investments.         As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the Company held cash and deposits with a maturity of 90 days and less of $57,452 and of $77,579, respectively, in Russian banks, including subsidiaries of foreign banks.         In addition, the Company had deposits with a maturity of more than 90 days in the amount of $117,457 and of $82,116 in Russian banks as of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, the amount of deposits included ruble-denominated deposits of $70,562 bearing interest ranging from 2.6% to 6.0%, and US dollar-denominated deposits of $11,554 bearing interest ranging from 1.0% to 2.75%. Management periodically reviews the creditworthiness of the banks in which it holds its cash. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts         Accounts receivable are shown at their net realizable value which approximates their fair value.         The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on specific identification and management estimates of recoverability. In cases where the Company is aware of circumstances which may impair a receivable, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduces the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company believes will be collected. In addition to the allowance for specific doubtful accounts, the Company applies specific rates to overdue balances depending on the history of cash collections and future expectations of conditions that might impact the collectability of accounts receivables.         If all collection efforts have been exhausted, the receivable is written off against the allowance. The Company's credit policy does not require to enter into any netting agreements or collateral from customers. Comparative Figures         In 2010, the Company recognized advertising revenues net of Value Added Taxes ("VAT") and accrued sales commissions payable to Video International. Starting from 2011, the Company no longer pays sales commissions to Video International since the model of cooperation with Video International at the Network level and at Television Station Groups in respect of Moscow-based clients has changed. Under the terms of the new agreement, the Company pays Video International fees for the use of the advertising software package and for services rendered such as maintenance of the software package, technical support, consulting along with integration of the software and Russian advertising market analytical services. Such compensation payable to Video International from January 1, 2011, is included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income. In the three months ended March 31, 2011, the amount of such compensation expense included within selling, general and administrative expenses comprised $18,090, as compared to the Video International commission fees of $16,302 recorded as a deduction to advertising revenue in the three months ending March 31, 2010. See "Revenue Recognition" above and Note 10.         Also, reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. New Accounting Pronouncements         In January 2010, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2010-06, (ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). This amendment has improved disclosures about fair value measurements on the basis of input received from the users of financial statements. This is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.         In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, an amendment to its stock-based compensation guidance to clarify that employee stock options that have exercise prices denominated in the currency of any market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trade should be classified as equity, assuming all other criteria for equity classification are met (EITF Issue 09-J; ASC 718, CompensationStock Compensation). The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.         In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, an amendment to the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations (EITF Issue 10-G; ASC 805, Business Combinations). This amendment specified that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendment also expanded the supplemental pro forma disclosures under ASC 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.         In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, an amendment to the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts (EITF Issue 10-A; ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other). The amendment affects all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. As a result, the amendment eliminates an entity's ability to assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform Step 2 because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate the goodwill is more likely than not impaired. For public entities, the amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. Upon adoption of the amendments, an entity with reporting units that have carrying amounts that are zero or negative is required to assess whether it is more likely than not that the reporting units' goodwill is impaired. If the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the goodwill of one or more of its reporting units is impaired, the entity should perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for those reporting unit(s). Any resulting goodwill impairment should be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the amendments should be included in earnings as required by Section 350-20-35. The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.</td></tr></table></td></tr></table> 2.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES         ThefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringThis element may be used to describe all significant accounting policies, new accounting pronouncements and basis of presentation of the reporting entity.No authoritative reference available.falsefalseBASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES12BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownfalsetrue
