Amounts as of December 31, 2009 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The results of our former Ukraine operations have therefore been accounted for as discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (see Note 17, “Discontinued Operations”).

The update is to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation”. The ASU clarifies that the decrease-in-ownership provisions of ASC 810-10 and related guidance apply to (1) a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity, (2) a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and (3) an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a noncontrolling interest in an entity (including an equity method investee or joint venture). In addition, the ASU expands the information an entity is required to disclose upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on our financial position or results of operations.</font></div> <div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"><br /></div> <div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">On January 1, 2010, we adopted ASU 2009-17, “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” that was issued in December 2009. The update is to ASC 810. This standard amends ASC 810-10-25 by requiring consolidation of certain special purpose entities that were previously exempted from consolidation. The revised criteria will define a controlling financial interest for requiring consolidation as: the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s performance, and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on our financial position or results of operations.</font></div> <div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"><br /></div> <div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Derivative Disclosure</font></div> <div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"><br /></div> <div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">We adopted ASU 2010-6, “Improving Disclosures on Fair Value Measurements” on January 1, 2010.

This ASU enhances disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses in order to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities with financing receivables, excluding short-term trade accounts receivable or receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value. The required disclosures of this ASU are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. This ASU will not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations. Since our financing receivables are primarily short-term trade accounts receivable which are measured at fair value, we do not expect the disclosure requirements of this ASU to be significant.</font></div> <div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"><br /></div> <div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">In April 2010, ASU 2010-13, “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades” was issued. This ASU amends ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. This ASU will not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.</font></div> <div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"><br /></div> </div> 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated false false false us-types:textBlockItemType textblock Description containing the entire organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.
