12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," (Topic 220) - Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02), to amend existing rules to improve the reporting of reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The amendment expands the existing disclosure by requiring entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component. Additionally, an entity is required to provide information about the effects on net income of significant amounts reclassified out of each component of AOCI to net income either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes of the financial statements. The Company adopted this ASU 2013-02 the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. As this update only required additional disclosures, adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued authoritative guidance that will require an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions. The authoritative guidance becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
