The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Effective July 27, 2012, the Company adopted an accounting pronouncement to update the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. This pronouncement provides companies with the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset in step one of its impairment test. Although this accounting pronouncement revises the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in interim periods, it does not revise the requirements to test: (i) indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment, and (ii) between annual tests if there are changes in events or circumstances. The Company performs its indefinite-lived intangible assets testing in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
