Subsequent Event:

In February 2012 the Company was informed that a subsidiary in China received approval from the local government which results in the income tax rate being reduced from 25% to 15% for the 2011 through 2013 years. The effect of this change in the tax rate, which is not expected to be material, will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the first quarter of 2012.
