2. New accounting pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance to improve consistency with fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not anticipate its fair value measurements or disclosures will significantly change as a result of applying this new guidance.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance requiring an entity to present net income and other comprehensive income (OCI) in either a single continuous statement or in separate consecutive statements. The guidance does not change the items reported in OCI or when an item of OCI must be reclassified to net income. The guidance, which must be presented retrospectively, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.

In September 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to testing goodwill for impairment. The new guidance allows an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether the entity should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. It also expands the 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 value. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that this new guidance will have on its goodwill impairment tests.
