In December 2008 the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to adopt final rules and amendments that require issuers to file a supplemental exhibit “tagging” their financial statements with an interactive data format known as XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) over a three year phase-in period.
