disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Certain aspects of SFAS<br />

157 were effective as of January 1, 2008 and affected certain note disclosures. We do not<br />

anticipate that the adoption of the deferred portion of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on<br />

the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.<br />

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets<br />

and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides reporting entities an option to<br />

report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS 159 establishes presentation<br />

and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose<br />

different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 also<br />

requires additional information to aid financial statement users' understanding of a reporting<br />

entity's choice to use fair value on its earnings and also requires entities to display the fair value<br />

of those affected assets and liabilities in the primary financial statements. SFAS 159 is effective<br />

as of the beginning of a reporting entity's first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007.<br />

Application of the standard is optional and any impacts are limited to those financial assets and<br />

liabilities to which SFAS 159 would be applied. The Company adopted SFAS 159 effective<br />

January 1, 2008 and has elected not to measure any of its current eligible financial assets or<br />

liabilities at fair value.<br />

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and<br />

Hedging Activities. This statement requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about<br />

(a) how and why they use derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related<br />

hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how<br />

derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial<br />

performance, and cash flows. SFAS No.161 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years<br />

and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company will adopt the new<br />

disclosure requirements in the period beginning January 1, 2009. We do not believe the<br />

adoption of SFAS No.161 will have a material impact on the disclosure of the Company’s<br />

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.<br />

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-3, Accounting for Lessees for Maintenance<br />

Deposits Under Lease Arrangements (EITF 08-3). EITF 08-3 provides guidance for accounting<br />

for nonrefundable maintenance deposits. It also provides revenue recognition accounting<br />

guidance for the lessor. EITF 08-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,<br />

2008. We are currently assessing the impact of EITF 08-3 on our financial position and results<br />

of operations.<br />
