Note 18 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition — On January 1, 2011, we adopted an update issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to existing guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. This update allows companies to allocate consideration 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. It also requires additional disclosures on 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. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

Comprehensive Income — In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This update will increase the prominence of comprehensive income in the financial statements. It gives an entity the option to present the components of net income and comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements and eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. This update will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2012. This update is not anticipated to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

Fair value measurements — Effective January 1, 2012, we will adopt the accounting standards update that changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Some of the amendments included in this update are intended to clarify the applications of existing fair value measurement requirements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect that our adoption will have a material effect on the disclosures contained in our notes to the consolidated financial statements.
