<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">In
February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends
the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 220
“<font style="FONT-STYLE: italic; DISPLAY: inline">Comprehensive
Income</font>.”  The amendments do not change
the current requirements for reporting net income or other
comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the
amendments require an entity to provide information about the
amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive
income by component. In addition, an entity is required to
present, either on the face of the statement where net income
is presented or in the notes, significant amounts
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by
the respective line items of net income but only if the
amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified
to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.
For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be
reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is
required to cross-reference to other disclosures required
under GAAP that provide additional detail about those
amounts. The amendments in this update are effective
prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this
update did not have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
See Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
“Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income.”</font><br />
