(17)        Recently Issued Accounting Updates:

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” This ASU intends to align impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories.  This ASU allows the assessment based on  qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired prior to determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The provisions of this ASU will be applied to the interim and annual tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early application is permitted.  The Company does not expect ASU2012-02 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
