RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

4. During September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08 which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 although early adoption is allowed. The ASU allows an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The ASU expands upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2011-08.

Other than as noted above, there are currently no other significant prospective accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
