Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The amended guidance required entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. Additionally, entities are required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures in the financial statements. The amended guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. The amendments became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. As this is disclosure-only guidance, it did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carry forward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, unrecognized tax benefits will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carry forwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carry forwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance is effective prospectively to all existing unrecognized tax benefits, but entities can choose to apply it retrospectively. The guidance will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal year 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have its consolidated statements of financial position and cash flows.
