Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update that amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, and includes certain enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs. The amendment became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For a description of how the Company estimates fair value and the process for reviewing fair value measurements classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, refer to Note 8. Adoption of this amendment did not have an effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
