16. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In September of 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. ASU 2011-08 modifies the goodwill impairment test by allowing for an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on this assessment, the entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity may bypass performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. However, if the entity concludes otherwise, it is required to perform Step 1 of the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
