Note 4 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-11 “Disclosures about offsetting Assets and Liabilities” requiring additional disclosure about offsetting and related arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective retrospectively for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 will not have a material impact on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations or liquidity.


In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02- Testing Indefinite- Lived Intangible Assets Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”) in order to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance. The new guidance allows an entity the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 becomes effective for the Company on October 1, 2012, and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
