2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance to finalize the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This new standard requires the registrant to disclose either in a single note, or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as presented in Note 12. This change did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
