<b>2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards</b></p>
<p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that requires an
entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an
unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a
reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss
carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward,
except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward,
a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available
at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable
jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would
result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of
the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and
the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such
purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the
financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with
deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective prospectively for
fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2013. We are currently evaluating
the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial
statements.</p>

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance to finalize the
reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other
comprehensive income. This new standard requires the registrant to
disclose either in a single note, or parenthetically on the face of
the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts
reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive
income based on its source and the income statement line items
affected by the reclassification. The guidance is effective for
annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years
beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance in
the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as presented in Note 12. This
change did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.</p>
