In preparing the Company's financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management has made assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Not considering the asset impairment and restructuring charges recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011, the Company refined its estimates and assumptions for several asset and liability accounts. As a result, the Company recorded net unfavorable adjustments of $80 in the fourth quarter of 2012 and favorable adjustments of $288 in the fourth quarter of 2011, both net of tax. For fiscal 2012 and 2011, these adjustments were normal recurring adjustments of accrued estimates and adjustments related to sales discounts, inventory valuation, pension and contingencies.
