NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This guidance amends a parent company’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with a foreign entity. The amendment requires a parent to release into net income the cumulative translation adjustment related to its investment in a foreign entity when it either sells a part or all of its investment, or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. We elected to early adopt this guidance during our first quarter of fiscal year 2014. Accordingly, we treated our sale of our Zurich Business in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 in accordance with this guidance and recorded $3.1 million in income from discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statement of operations related to the cumulative translation adjustment from deconsolidating our Swiss subsidiary. This guidance will continue to impact our financial position and results of operations prospectively in the instance of an event or transaction described above.

In July 2013, the FASB issued amended guidance that resolves the diversity in practice for the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This new accounting guidance requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs) against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, UTBs will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs. The new standard requires prospective adoption but allows retrospective adoption for all periods presented. We will adopt the FASB’s amended guidance for our second quarter of fiscal year 2014. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
