Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update to the accounting standards that 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. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 by presenting separate Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an update to the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal year 2014 with earlier adoption permitted, which should be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of the guidance on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
