RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “Update”) No. 2010–17, “Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method.” The objective of this Update is to provide guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a significant effect on its unaudited interim financial statements.



In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events” (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2010-09”). ASU 2010-09 amends disclosure requirements within Subtopic 855-10. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements. ASU 2010-09 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-09 to have a material impact on its unaudited interim results of operations or financial position.



In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (ASU 2010-06) (codified within ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). ASU 2010-06 improves disclosures originally required under SFAS No. 157. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual 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. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those years. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's unaudited interim financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.



None of these recent pronouncements are applicable for the Company or have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited interim results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
