In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820). The amendments in ASU 2011-04 result in common definitions of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure requirements between U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. Consequently, the amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in ASU 2011-05 require companies to present items of net income, items of other comprehensive income ("OCI") and total comprehensive income in one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. Companies will no longer be allowed to present OCI in the statement of stockholders' equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12 Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The Amendments in ASU 2011-12 indefinitely defer certain provisions of ASU 2011-05, which revised the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The deferred provisions of ASU 2011-05 relate to reclassification adjustments between OCI and net income being presented separately on the face of the financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 and 2011-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The financial statement presentations required by ASU 2011-05 and 2011-12 were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2012.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). The amendments in ASU 2011-08 amend the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-20 on testing goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the goodwill impairment test). If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. The ASU does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment. In addition, the ASU does not amend the requirement to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 effective January 1, 2012. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
