| Business Description and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 - Business Description and Basis of Presentation VirnetX, Inc. ("we" or "VirnetX") develop software and technology solutions for securing real-time communications over the Internet. Our patented GABRIEL Connection Technology™ combines industry standard encryption protocols with our patented techniques for automated domain name system, or DNS, lookup mechanisms, and enables users to create a secure communication link using secure domain names over wired or wireless (4G/LTE) networks. Our portfolio of intellectual property is the foundation of our business model. We currently own 20 patents in the United States and 26 foreign patents, as well as several pending U.S. and foreign patent applications. Our patent portfolio is primarily focused on securing real-time communications over the Internet, as well as related services such as the establishment and maintenance of a secure domain name registry. Our patented methods also have additional applications in operating systems and network security. Our software and technology solutions provide the security platform required by next-generation Internet-based applications such as instant messaging, or IM, voice over Internet protocol, or VoIP, mobile services, streaming video, file transfer and remote desktop. Our technology generates secure connections on a "zero-click" or "single-click" basis, significantly simplifying the deployment of secure real-time communication solutions by eliminating the need for end-users to enter any encryption information. We already have a number of licensees signed up and intend to continue to seek licenses of our technology, including our GABRIEL Connection Technology™ to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, of chips, servers, smart phones, tablets, e-Readers, laptops, net books and other devices, within the IP-telephony, mobility, fixed-mobile convergence and unified communications markets including 4G/LTE. We have published our royalty rates and guidelines on our website and intend to use these rates and guidelines in all future license negotiations. During interim periods, we follow the accounting policies set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and apply appropriate interim financial reporting standards for a fair statement of our operating results and financial position in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as codified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) (referred to herein as U.S. GAAP), as indicated below. Users of financial information produced for interim periods in 2012 are encouraged to read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim financial reporting standards require us to make estimates that are based on assumptions regarding the outcome of future events and circumstances not known at that time, including the use of estimated effective tax rates. Inevitably, some assumptions will not materialize, unanticipated events or circumstances may occur which vary from those estimates and such variations may significantly affect our future results. Our financial results have varied significantly from period to period. Additionally, interim results may not be indicative of our results for future interim periods or our annual results. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the SEC's requirements for Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of (i) the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, (ii) the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, (iii) the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and (iv) the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated balance sheet, included in this report, as of December 31, 2011 was derived from our 2011 audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. |

| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition We defer recognition of revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605 until such time as all of the criteria below have been met:
We expect that some or all of our future licensing agreements will provide for payments to us over an extended period of time. For a licensing agreement with fixed royalty payments,we expect to recognize revenue as amounts become due. For a licensing agreement with variable royalty payments we expect to recognize royalty revenue at the time that the licensees' sales occur; however, because we expect that a licensee may report sales information to us on a delayed basis, we expect our revenue recognition criterion may also be met on a delayed basis. Complex revenue arrangements may require us to make significant judgments, assumptions and estimates about when substantial delivery of contract elements will occur, whether any significant ongoing obligations exist subsequent to contract execution, whether amounts due are collectible and the appropriate period in which the completion of the earnings process occurs. If new information subsequently becomes known to us which causes us to make different judgments, assumptions or estimates regarding material contracts, our financial results may be materially affected. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we incurred losses; therefore, the effect of any Common Stock equivalents was anti-dilutive during those periods. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily maintained at two major financial institutions in the United States. Deposits held with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. A portion of those balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. During the period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we had, at times, funds that were uninsured. The uninsured balance at June 30, 2012, was approximately $12,935 compared to $29,185 at December 31, 2011. We do not believe that we are subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships with major financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash and cash equivalents. Derivative Instruments Our Series I Warrants are required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities and carried at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of an anti-dilution provision which precludes them from being considered indexed to our stock. The warrant liabilities are marked-to-market each period and the change in the fair value is recorded as gain or loss on derivative liability in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets On an annual basis we identify and record impairment losses on long-lived assetswhen events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the anticipated future net undiscounted cash flows to the related assets' carrying value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is the price that would result from an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Level 2 measurements utilize either directly or indirectly observable inputs in markets other than quoted prices in active markets. Our financial instruments are stated at amounts that equal, or approximate, fair value. When we approximate fair value, we utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument, including assumptions about risk and inputs to the valuation technique. We use valuation techniques, primarily the income and market approach that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs for recurring fair value measurements. Certificate of deposits: Fair value measured at face value plus accrued interest. Corporate bonds: Fair value measured at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Series I Warrants: Fair value measured by using a Binomial valuation model. The assumptions used to measure fair value of our outstanding Series I Warrants carried as derivative liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for June 30, 2012 included a warrant exercise price of $3.59 per share, a common share price of $35.25, a discount rate of 0.72%, and a volatility of 115%. The assumptions used for December 31, 2011, were a warrant exercise price of $3.59 per share, a common share price of $24.97, a discount rate of 0.83%, and a volatility of 123%. The following tables show our securities' adjusted cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value by significant investment category as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, our liabilities stated at fair value as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of our Level 3 liability stated at fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
New Accounting Pronouncement In May 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update, which amends the fair value measurement guidance and includes some enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. This standard did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, when adopted on January 1, 2012. In June 2011, the FASB modified the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements. The revised standard requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and must be applied retrospectively. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The revised standard does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The modification of the standard did not have an effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, when adopted, on December 31, 2011. In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to an existing accounting standard, which provides entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing on goodwill is necessary. Specifically, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. This standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment test performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Our adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

| Patent Portfolio [Abstract] | |
| Patent Portfolio | Note 3 - Patent Portfolio As of June 30, 2012, we own 20 issued U.S. and 26 issued foreign patents, in addition to several pending U.S. and foreign patent applications. Our issued U.S. and foreign patents expire at various times during the period from 2019 to 2024. Some of our issued patents and pending patent applications were acquired by our principal operating subsidiary, VirnetX, Inc., from Science Applications International Corporation, or SAIC, in 2006 and we are required to make payments to SAIC based on cash or certain other values generated from those patents. The amount of such payments depends upon the type of value generated, and certain categories are subject to maximums and other limitations. As of June 30, 2010, we met our maximum royalty payment requirement; however, SAIC is also entitled under certain circumstances to receive a portion of the proceeds paid to us for certain acquisitions of VirnetX or from the settlement of certain patent infringement claims of ours. Capitalized patent costs, net of amortization, are included in intangible and other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. |

| Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Note 4 - Income Taxes The income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $3,590, which was effective income tax rate of 26 percent. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $5,763, which was an effective income tax rate of 28 percent. The tax benefit was lower than the benefit calculated using the statutory U.S. federal rate primarily as a result of the change of the valuation allowance, stock based compensation expense and non-deductible derivative loss. The income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $940, which was an effective income tax rate of 9 percent. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,640, which was an effective income tax rate of 9 percent. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2012 will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has maintained a partial valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, we have federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $912 and $39,002 respectively, expiring beginning in 2027 and 2012, respectively. Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted accounting guidance for income taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is now required to recognize in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. We are required to recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. As a result, we have reserves for uncertain tax positions of $332 and $128 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Our tax years for 2005 and forward are subject to examination by the U.S. tax authority and various state tax authorities. These years are open due to net operating losses and tax credits remaining unutilized from such years. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2012, we had accrued immaterial amounts of interest and penalties related to the uncertain tax positions. |

| Stock-Based Compensation | Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation Share based compensation expense is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employees' requisite service period. On April 13, 2012, our Compensation Committee approved changes to the compensation for our Board of Directors, approved amendments to the Plan to allow us to grant RSUs and authorized the issuance of 277,500 options and 151,665 RSUs. We issued, 190,000 options on April 13, 2012, with an exercise price of $24.75, 50,000 options on April 5, 2012, with an exercise price of $23.84 and 37,500 options on May 24, 2012, with an exercise price of $29.90. During the six months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, we granted options for a total of 277,500 and 435,000 shares respectively. The weighted average fair values at the grant dates for options issued during the six months ending June30, 2012 and 2011 were $22.26 and $21.43 per option, respectively. The fair value of options at the grant date was estimated utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model with following weighted average assumptions for the six months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively: (i) dividend yield on our common stock of 0 percent and 0 percent; (ii) expected stock price volatility of 115 percent and 123 percent; (iii) a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.92 percent and a risk free interest rate of 3.18 percent; and (iv) an expected option term of 7 and 7 years. During the six months ending June 30, 2012, we also granted RSUs totaling 151,665 that vest ratably over one to three years. The fair values of each issued RSU on the date of grant, weighted averaged was, $24.20. RSUs, which are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the shares vesting, are expensed ratably over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense was $1,466 and $2,340 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $1,213 and $1,856 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $17,054 which will be amortized expense over an estimated weighted average vesting amortization period of approximately 1.68 years. |

| Litigation [Abstract] | |
| Litigation | Note 9 - Litigation We have three intellectual property infringement lawsuits pending against multiple parties in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, pursuant to which we allege that these parties infringe on certain of our patents. We seek damages and injunctive relief in all the complaints. We have one complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) alleging that Apple, Inc. has engaged in unfair trade practices by the importation, sale for importation, and sale after importation of certain devices with secure communication capabilities that infringe one or more claims of our U.S. Patent No. 8,051,181. On August 11, 2010, we initiated a lawsuit by filing a complaint against Aastra Technologies, Inc., Apple, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., and NEC Corporation. On January 12, 2011, we initiated a new lawsuit by filing a complaint against Siemens Enterprise Communications and Mitel Networks Corp. On April 12, 2011, we amended this complaint to add Avaya, Inc., as a defendant. We believe that Aastra, Apple, Cisco, NEC, Siemens, Mitel and Avaya infringe on certain of our patents, but obtaining and collecting a judgment against these parties may be difficult or impossible. Patent litigation is inherently risky and the outcome is uncertain. Aastra, Apple, Cisco, NEC, Siemens, Mitel and Avaya are all large, well-financed companies with substantially greater resources than us. We believe that these parties will devote a substantial amount of resources in an attempt to prove that either their products do not infringe our patents or that our patents are invalid and unenforceable. At this time, we cannot predict the final outcome of these litigation matters. On November 1, 2011, we initiated a lawsuit against Apple in the United States District Court, Tyler Division, pursuant to which we allege that Apple infringes an additional patent of ours. We seek damages and injunctive relief. No hearing or trial dates have been set. On November 4, 2011, we filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) alleging that Apple has engaged in unfair trade practices by the importation, sale for importation, and sale after importation of certain devices with secure communication capabilities that infringe one or more claims of our U.S. Patent No. 8,051,181. The accused products include the latest iPhones, iPads, iPods and Macintosh computers. We have requested that the ITC institute an investigation into Apple's allegedly infringing imports and ultimately bar Apple from importing those Apple products or further selling the infringing Apple products that have already been imported. On January 5, 2012, a claims construction hearing was held in our case against Aastra, Apple, Cisco and NEC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division. On April 25, 2012 the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, issued its Markman Order on the claim terms that were in dispute in the Aastra, Apple, Cisco and NEC litigation and adopted certain interpretations that we believe are favorable to us. The jury selection for the trial in connection with the Aastra, Apple, Cisco and NEC litigation is scheduled to start on November 5, 2012. On May 3, 2012, we entered into a License Agreement with Aastra USA, Inc. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties have agreed to dismiss the patent infringement case between the Parties and their affiliates before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. All other aspects of the agreement were not disclosed. On July 11, 2012, we entered into a License Agreement with Mitel Network Corporation. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties have agreed to dismiss the patent infringement case between the Parties and their affiliates before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. All other aspects of the agreement were not disclosed. On July 12, 2012, a claims construction hearing was held in our complaint against Siemens Enterprise Communications and Avaya Inc. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division. On August 1, 2012 the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, issued its Markman Order denying the request by the defendants to change the interpretation of some of the claim terms that were in dispute in the litigation, leaving them unchanged from what was previously adopted by the court in the Markman ruling in its other ongoing infringement action against Cisco, Apple and NEC. The jury selection for the trial in connection with the Siemens and Avaya litigation is scheduled to start on November 5, 2012. On July 18, 2012, the Administrative Law Judge assigned to investigate our complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) against Apple Inc., identified a procedural discrepancy with the complaint that will impact the scheduling of the investigation. We disagree with this finding and on July 26, 2012 filled an appeal with the ITC in this regard. On August 2, 2012, we entered into a License Agreement with NEC Corporation and NEC Corporation of America. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties have agreed to dismiss the patent infringement case between the Parties and their affiliates before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. All other aspects of the agreement were not disclosed. One or more potential intellectual property infringement claims may also be available to us against certain other companies who have the resources to defend against any such claims. Although we believe these potential claims are worth pursuing, commencing a lawsuit can be expensive and time-consuming, and there is no assurance that we will prevail on such potential claims. In addition, bringing a lawsuit may lead to potential counterclaims which may preclude our ability to commercialize our initial products, which are currently in development. |

| Subsequent Events | Note 10 - Subsequent Events On July 12, 2012, we announced that we signed a Patent License Agreement with Mitel Networks Corporation. Under the terms of the Agreement, we agreed to license certain of our US patents to Mitel, for a one-time payment to VirnetX and an ongoing reasonable royalty for all future sales through the expiration of the licensed patents as outlined in the Agreement with respect to certain current and future IP-encrypted products. On August 2, 2012, we signed a Patent License Agreement with NEC Corporation and NEC Corporation of America. Under the terms of the Agreement, we agreed to license certain of our US patents to NEC, for a one-time payment to VirnetX and an ongoing reasonable royalty for all futures sales through the expiration of the licensed patents as outlined in the Agreement with respect to certain current and future IP-encrypted products. |

| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition We defer recognition of revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605 until such time as all of the criteria below have been met:
We expect that some or all of our future licensing agreements will provide for payments to us over an extended period of time. For a licensing agreement with fixed royalty payments,we expect to recognize revenue as amounts become due. For a licensing agreement with variable royalty payments we expect to recognize royalty revenue at the time that the licensees' sales occur; however, because we expect that a licensee may report sales information to us on a delayed basis, we expect our revenue recognition criterion may also be met on a delayed basis. Complex revenue arrangements may require us to make significant judgments, assumptions and estimates about when substantial delivery of contract elements will occur, whether any significant ongoing obligations exist subsequent to contract execution, whether amounts due are collectible and the appropriate period in which the completion of the earnings process occurs. If new information subsequently becomes known to us which causes us to make different judgments, assumptions or estimates regarding material contracts, our financial results may be materially affected. |
||||||||||||
| Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we incurred losses; therefore, the effect of any Common Stock equivalents was anti-dilutive during those periods. |
||||||||||||
| Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties | Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily maintained at two major financial institutions in the United States. Deposits held with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. A portion of those balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. During the period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we had, at times, funds that were uninsured. The uninsured balance at June 30, 2012, was approximately $12,935 compared to $29,185 at December 31, 2011. We do not believe that we are subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships with major financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash and cash equivalents. |
||||||||||||
| Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments Our Series I Warrants are required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities and carried at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of an anti-dilution provision which precludes them from being considered indexed to our stock. The warrant liabilities are marked-to-market each period and the change in the fair value is recorded as gain or loss on derivative liability in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
||||||||||||
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets On an annual basis we identify and record impairment losses on long-lived assetswhen events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the anticipated future net undiscounted cash flows to the related assets' carrying value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset. |
||||||||||||
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is the price that would result from an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Level 2 measurements utilize either directly or indirectly observable inputs in markets other than quoted prices in active markets. Our financial instruments are stated at amounts that equal, or approximate, fair value. When we approximate fair value, we utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument, including assumptions about risk and inputs to the valuation technique. We use valuation techniques, primarily the income and market approach that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs for recurring fair value measurements. Certificate of deposits: Fair value measured at face value plus accrued interest. Corporate bonds: Fair value measured at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Series I Warrants: Fair value measured by using a Binomial valuation model. The assumptions used to measure fair value of our outstanding Series I Warrants carried as derivative liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for June 30, 2012 included a warrant exercise price of $3.59 per share, a common share price of $35.25, a discount rate of 0.72%, and a volatility of 115%. The assumptions used for December 31, 2011, were a warrant exercise price of $3.59 per share, a common share price of $24.97, a discount rate of 0.83%, and a volatility of 123%. |
||||||||||||
| New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncement In May 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update, which amends the fair value measurement guidance and includes some enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. This standard did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, when adopted on January 1, 2012. In June 2011, the FASB modified the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements. The revised standard requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and must be applied retrospectively. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The revised standard does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The modification of the standard did not have an effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, when adopted, on December 31, 2011. In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to an existing accounting standard, which provides entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing on goodwill is necessary. Specifically, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. This standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment test performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Our adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

This element represents the portion of the balance sheet assertion valued at fair value by the entity whether such amount is presented as a separate caption or as a parenthetical disclosure. Additionally, this element may be used in connection with the fair value disclosures required in the footnote disclosures to the financial statements. The element may be used in both the balance sheet and disclosure in the same submission. This item represents Available-for-sale Securities which consist of all investments in certain debt and equity securities neither classified as trading or held-to-maturity securities. A debt security represents a creditor relationship with an enterprise. Debt securities include, among other items, US Treasury securities, US government securities, municipal securities, corporate bonds, convertible debt, commercial paper, and all securitized debt instruments. An equity security represents an ownership interest in an enterprise or the right to acquire or dispose of an ownership interest in an enterprise at fixed or determinable prices. Equity securities include, among other things, common stock, certain preferred stock, warrant rights, call options, and put options, but do not include convertible debt. An entity may opt to provide the reader with additional narrative text to better understand the nature of investments in debt and equity securities which are categorized as Available-for-sale.
