Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)

       In September 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance relating to investments that are required or permitted to be measured or disclosed at fair value when the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and is accounted for using measurement principles pertaining to investment companies. As a practical expedient, the guidance allows a reporting entity to measure the fair value of these investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). The amendments include additional disclosure requirements. The adoption as of December 31, 2009 had no effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
