New Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2011, new accounting guidance on fair value measurements was issued, which requires updates to fair value measurement disclosures to conform US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance includes additional disclosure requirements about Level 3 fair value measurements and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance will not affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but will require additional disclosure.
 
In June 2011, new accounting guidance on comprehensive income was issued, which revises the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements. The adoption of the new guidance will not affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but will require the Company to disclose the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in either (i) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (ii) as two separate but consecutive statements. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

There are no other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
