Accounting Changes
Note 2 — Accounting Changes
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued revised revenue recognition guidance affecting the accounting for software-enabled devices and multiple-element arrangements. The revisions expand the scope of multiple-element arrangement guidance to include revenue arrangements containing certain nonsoftware elements and related software elements. Additionally, the revised guidance changes the manner in which separate units of accounting are identified within a multiple-element arrangement and modifies the manner in which transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The Company adopted the revised revenue recognition guidance for new arrangements the Company entered into on or after October 1, 2010. The adoption of these new requirements did not significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance amending the variable interest consolidation model. The revised model amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and requires a qualitative, rather than quantitative, analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company’s adoption of the amended variable interest consolidation model on October 1, 2010 did not significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
