(2)           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Our significant accounting policies were described in Note 2 to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies during 2013.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements We adopted certain amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, “Comprehensive Income,” effective January 1, 2013. These amendments relate only to financial statement presentation of other comprehensive income and, accordingly, the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
