ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
NOTE 2 - ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued updated guidance amending existing revenue recognition accounting pronouncements that address multiple element arrangements. This guidance requires companies to allocate revenue in arrangements involving multiple deliverables based on the estimated selling price of each deliverable, even though such deliverables are not sold separately either by the company or other vendors. This guidance eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have objective and reliable evidence of fair value before a company can recognize the portion of the overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. As a result, some companies may recognize revenue on transactions that involve multiple deliverables earlier than under previously existing authoritative guidance. This new authoritative guidance was effective for the Company beginning with its first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
