Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income, which eliminates the option for entities to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. Additionally, the standard does not affect the calculation or reporting of earnings per share. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2012.
In September 2011, the FASB amended the guidance on testing goodwill for impairment.  Under this new guidance, companies have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards.  This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2012.
