NOTE 11. New Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update to Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures of the Accounting Standards Codification. This update provides guidance on how fair value accounting should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards. The guidance does not extend the use of fair value accounting. We will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2012 as required and does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to Topic 220 - Comprehensive Income of the Accounting Standards Codification. The update is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The guidance requires that we present components of comprehensive income in either one continuous or two separate, but consecutive financial statements and no longer permits the presentation of comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity. We expect to adopt this new guidance effective January 1, 2012, as required and does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.
