Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Reclassifications and Adjustments

Reclassifications and Adjustments

As discussed in Note 2, the Company classified the Semiconductor Systems and Laser Systems businesses as held for sale beginning in the second quarter of 2012. In addition, as discussed in Note 15, we realigned our segment presentation during the first quarter of 2013 in light of the acquisition of NDS Surgical Imaging, LLC and NDS Surgical Imaging KK as well as restructuring activities. As a result, certain prior period information included in the consolidated statements has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Beginning in 2008, the Company did not properly recognize deferred tax liabilities associated with certain permanent intercompany loans. In addition, the Company did not consider these deferred tax liability amounts when determining the realizability of its deferred tax assets and thereby recorded excess valuation allowances beginning in 2009. The Company identified and corrected this immaterial error related to prior years during the period ended March 29, 2013. The error correction resulted in approximately $0.7 million of an income tax benefit allocated to income from continuing operations and approximately $0.7 million of income tax expense allocated to accumulated other comprehensive loss during the period ended March 29, 2013, which was quantitatively significant to the period. The correction had no effect on income from continuing operations before income taxes or cash flows for any periods presented. The Company evaluated this error considering both qualitative and quantitative factors pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” and concluded that these adjustments were not material to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements. The Company also does not believe this adjustment will be material to the 2013 results.

In addition, certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the prior year to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”. Similar to goodwill impairment testing guidance, the revised standard allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU 2012-02 permits entities to perform a qualitative assessment by considering events and circumstances which would impact the fair value of the entity’s indefinite-lived intangible assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the entity’s indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If it is determined that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step impairment test is not required. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2012-02 in its annual impairment test to be performed as of the beginning of the second fiscal quarter. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Comprehensive Income”. Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income (loss) in the financial statements. The standard was effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
