NOTE 2 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates
(“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s not listed below were
assessed and determined to not be applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2009, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on accounting for arrangements
with multiple deliverables. This update allows companies to allocate consideration received for
qualified separate deliverables using estimated selling price for both delivered and undelivered
items when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable. Additional
disclosures discussing the nature of multiple element arrangements, the types of deliverables under
the arrangements, the general timing of their delivery and significant factors and estimates used
to determine estimated selling prices is required. This guidance is effective prospectively for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company adopted this guidance effective
January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on the calculation of
impairment of goodwill. This update modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting
units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For these reporting units, an entity is required to
perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill
impairment exists. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2011, and will evaluate the
impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements if events occur or circumstances change
that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company or its assets below their
carrying amounts. No events have occurred since June 30, 2011, the Company’s tesing date, that
would trigger further impairment testing of the Company’s intangible assets with finite lives
subject to amortization.
