NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Going Concern The Company had limited revenues during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and has incurred a net loss of $1,750,407 and $824,880 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company has not been able to generate positive cash from operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans on funding operations and liquidity needs from licensing arrangements, debt financing and sales of its common stock and notes convertible into common stock. There can be no assurance that additional funds required for continued operations during the next year or thereafter will be generated from our operations. Should the Company seek additional funds from external sources such as debt or additional equity financings or other potential sources, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise sufficient capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Accordingly, the Company’s existence is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to raise additional funds through debt and equity placements and increase revenue through new product development. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient cash flow from its operations or raise proceeds from offering debt or equity securities, the Company may be forced to curtail or cease its activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Florida Corporation) (Parent), its wholly owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and through November 2011 its 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI-Singapore. In November 2011 the Company disposed of TOMI-Singapore. The Company’s 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI-Environmental-China (TOMI-China) has been dormant since its formation in April 2011. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Reclassification of Accounts Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position. Fair Value Measurements The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable. All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans payable approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Amounts held at financial institutions did not exceed federally insured limits at December 31, 2012. Property and Equipment We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use. Long-Lived Assets Including Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets The Company reviews its property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property and equipment and intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value. At December 31, 2012 the Company recognized an impairment loss of $69,439 on its intellectual property and trademarks (see Note 4). Income (Loss) Per Share The computation of basic income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share because the effect of any potentially dilutive securities outstanding would be anti-dilutive and has, therefore, been excluded from the computation. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were common stock equivalents of 510,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at a conversion rate of one common share for every preferred share (510,000 common shares), convertible debentures convertible into 1,500,000 shares of common stock, warrants exercisable into 375,000 common shares, and 60,000 options (exercisable into 60,000 common shares). For the year ended December 31, 2012, there were common stock equivalents of 510,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at a conversion rate of one common share for every preferred share (510,000 common shares), warrants exercisable into 8,475,000 shares of common stock, and 60,000 options (exercisable into 60,000 common shares). Revenue Recognition For revenue from services and product sales, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB No. 101). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) service has been rendered or delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services rendered or products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts to customers, and allowance, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Stock-based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company currently has one active stock-based compensation plan, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan calls for the Company through a committee of its Board of Directors, to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock or stock options. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants, and board members. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of its common stock on the date of grant with a term no greater than 10 years. Generally, stock options vest over two to four years. Incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding stocks are granted at an exercise price that may not be less than 110% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and have a term no greater than five years. At the date of grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has 60,000 options outstanding and 1,336,250 common shares issued under the Plan. Debt Discount The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for debt discount and valuation of detachable warrants. The Company recognized the value of detachable warrants issued in conjunction with issuance of the convertible Debenture note. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company recorded the warrant relative fair value as an increase to additional paid-in capital and discount against the related debt. The discount attributed to the value of the warrants is amortized over the term of the underlying debt. Income Taxes The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when the expected recognition of a deferred tax asset is considered to be unlikely. The guidance also requires that the Company determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Advertising and Promotional Expenses The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, advertising expenses totaled approximately $0 and $2,200, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 gives entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset impaired. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 enhances current disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the statement of financial position. Entities are required to provide both net and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to facilitate comparability between financial statements prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP and financial statements prepared on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 (“ASU 2011-08”), which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill & Other. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 include examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. However, the examples are not intended to be all-inclusive and an entity may identify other relevant events and circumstances to consider in making the determination. The examples in this ASU 2011-08 supersede the previous examples under ASC Topic 350 of events and circumstances an entity should consider in determining whether it should test for impairment between annual tests, and also supersede the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to perform the second step of the impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU 2011-08, an entity is no longer permitted to carry forward its detailed calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value from a prior year as previously permitted under ASC Topic 350. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Going Concern

The Company had limited revenues during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and has incurred a net loss of $1,750,407 and $824,880 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company has not been able to generate positive cash from operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company plans on funding operations and liquidity needs from licensing arrangements, debt financing and sales of its common stock and notes convertible into common stock. There can be no assurance that additional funds required for continued operations during the next year or thereafter will be generated from our operations.

Should the Company seek additional funds from external sources such as debt or additional equity financings or other potential sources, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise sufficient capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business.

Accordingly, the Company’s existence is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company plans to raise additional funds through debt and equity placements and increase revenue through new product development. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient cash flow from its operations or raise proceeds from offering debt or equity securities, the Company may be forced to curtail or cease its activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Florida Corporation) (Parent), its wholly owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and through November 2011 its 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI-Singapore. In November 2011 the Company disposed of TOMI-Singapore. The Company’s 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI-Environmental-China (TOMI-China) has been dormant since its formation in April 2011. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Reclassification of Accounts

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.

Fair Value Measurements

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable. All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans payable approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Amounts held at financial institutions did not exceed federally insured limits at December 31, 2012.

Property and Equipment

We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use.

Long-Lived Assets Including Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets

The Company reviews its property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property and equipment and intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value. At December 31, 2012 the Company recognized an impairment loss of $69,439 on its intellectual property and trademarks (see Note 4).

Income (Loss) Per Share

The computation of basic income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share because the effect of any potentially dilutive securities outstanding would be anti-dilutive and has, therefore, been excluded from the computation. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were common stock equivalents of 510,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at a conversion rate of one common share for every preferred share (510,000 common shares), convertible debentures convertible into 1,500,000 shares of common stock, warrants exercisable into 375,000 common shares, and 60,000 options (exercisable into 60,000 common shares). For the year ended December 31, 2012, there were common stock equivalents of 510,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at a conversion rate of one common share for every preferred share (510,000 common shares), warrants exercisable into 8,475,000 shares of common stock, and 60,000 options (exercisable into 60,000 common shares).

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from services and product sales, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB No. 101). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) service has been rendered or delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services rendered or products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts to customers, and allowance, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company currently has one active stock-based compensation plan, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan calls for the Company through a committee of its Board of Directors, to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock or stock options. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants, and board members. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of its common stock on the date of grant with a term no greater

than 10 years. Generally, stock options vest over two to four years. Incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding stocks are granted at an exercise price that may not be less than 110% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and have a term no greater than five years. At the date of grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has 60,000 options outstanding and 1,336,250 common shares issued under the Plan.

Debt Discount

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for debt discount and valuation of detachable warrants. The Company recognized the value of detachable warrants issued in conjunction with issuance of the convertible Debenture note. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company recorded the warrant relative fair value as an increase to additional paid-in capital and discount against the related debt. The discount attributed to the value of the warrants is amortized over the term of the underlying debt.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when the expected recognition of a deferred tax asset is considered to be unlikely. The guidance also requires that the Company determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority.

Advertising and Promotional Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, advertising expenses totaled approximately $0 and $2,200, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 gives entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset impaired. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 enhances current disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the statement of financial position. Entities are required to provide both net and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to facilitate comparability between financial statements prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP and financial statements prepared on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 (“ASU 2011-08”), which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill & Other. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 include examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. However, the examples are not intended to be all-inclusive and an entity may identify other relevant events and circumstances to consider in making the determination. The examples in this ASU 2011-08 supersede the previous examples under ASC Topic 350 of events and circumstances an entity should consider in determining whether it should test for impairment between annual tests, and also supersede the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to perform the second step of the impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU 2011-08, an entity is no longer permitted to carry forward its detailed calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value from a prior year as previously permitted under ASC Topic 350. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
