2.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income (loss). The new standard requires the presentation of comprehensive loss, the components of net loss and the components of other comprehensive loss either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) or in two separate but consecutive statements. The updated guidance is effective on a retrospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2012, as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss herein.
