Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, which includes consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments and estimates considered necessary have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Adjustments resulting from the currency translation of financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are reflected as “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as “Other income (expense).” All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, which permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill is impaired.  If an entity concludes, based on an evaluation of all relevant qualitative factors, that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it will not be required to perform the quantitative impairment for that asset.  The ASU is effective for impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 (the Company’s fiscal year 2013), with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
