New Accounting Standards

A summary of the new accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and included in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) that apply to PRGX is set forth below:

FASB ASC Update No. 2013-02. In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amounts being reclassified are required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in their entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The Company adopted these changes prospectively as of its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

FASB ASC Update No. 2013-11. In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Income Taxes—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward that the entity intends to use and is available for settlement at the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
