In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This Update provides a greater level of disaggregated information and enhanced disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and became effective for the Company as of April 1, 2010 except for certain disclosure requirements. Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years and became effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2011.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820)—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This Update clarifies the wording and disclosures required in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, to converge with those used in International Financial Reporting Standards. The update explains how to measure and disclose fair value under ASC 820. However, the FASB does not expect the changes in this update to alter the current application of the requirements in ASC 820.  ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  ASU 2011-04 became effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2012.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to amend the presentation of comprehensive income to allow an entity the option 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. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is to be applied retrospectively. ASU 2011-05 became effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2012 and has been applied retrospectively.  The Company has not included separate statements of comprehensive income in this Form 10-Q as the Company’s comprehensive income is equivalent to its net income for all periods presented.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Goodwill for Impairment, to allow entities to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. ASU 2011-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2011-08 became effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2012.
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05.  ASU 2011-12 defers the specific requirement within ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income separately with their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income.  This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is to be applied retrospectively. ASU 2011-12 became effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2012 and has been applied retrospectively.
