2.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a non-software deliverable. The Company implemented the amendments on January 1, 2011, and the impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows was immaterial.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to accounting and disclosures related to fair value measurement. This amendment, effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the disclosure of Comprehensive Income. This amendment, effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, requires the presentation of total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows as it is disclosure only in nature.

In September 2011, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to testing goodwill for impairment. The new accounting rules permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test prescribed under current accounting rules. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The new accounting rules will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the new accounting rules but does not expect these rules to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
