&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Improving
Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.&lt;/i&gt; In January 2010, the
FASB issued ASU 2010-06 &amp;#x2013; &lt;i&gt;Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (ASC 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements&lt;/i&gt;, which provides additional guidance to improve
disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The ASU amends ASC
820-10, &lt;i&gt;Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures&amp;#x2014;Overall&lt;/i&gt; (formerly FAS 157, &lt;i&gt;Fair Value
Measurements)&lt;/i&gt; to add two new disclosures: (1)&amp;#xA0;transfers in
and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the
transfers, and (2)&amp;#xA0;a gross presentation of activity within the
Level 3 roll forward. The ASU also includes clarifications to
existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and
disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The ASU
applies to all entities required to make disclosures about
recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The effective
date of the ASU is the first interim or annual reporting period
beginning after December&amp;#xA0;15, 2009 and was adopted
January&amp;#xA0;1, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the
Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual
reporting periods beginning after December&amp;#xA0;15, 2010 and for
interim reporting periods within those years. This statement did
not and will not have a significant impact on us due to it only
requiring enhanced disclosures.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
