Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or “FIN No. 48”. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and as such, we will adopt FIN No. 48 beginning July 1, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
