ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Under this guidance, entities have the option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance was amended in December 2011 to defer the requirement to present the effects of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2012 and have presented total comprehensive income in a single continuous statement which contains two sections, net earnings and comprehensive income. This accounting guidance only impacted presentation and did not have an effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
