NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting guidance to update the presentation of comprehensive income in consolidated financial statements. Under this new guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in its annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012. Please refer to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, for the required interim period disclosure. In addition to net income, the other component of our comprehensive income was foreign currency translation adjustments.
