2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income.” The ASU requires entities to disclose either in the notes or parenthetically on the face of the statement showing net income the impact to the affected net income line for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and into net income in their entirety. Items not reclassified out of AOCI into net income in their entirety must be disclosed in the footnotes and not on the face of the financial statements. Items that may be reclassified out of AOCI and into net income include (1) unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities; (2) deferred gains or losses on cash flow hedges; (3) cumulative translation adjustments on foreign operations; and (4) deferred items relating to pension and non-pension defined benefit postretirement plans. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, including interim periods. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” The ASU gives companies the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If a company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset exceeds its carrying amount, it would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. However, if a company concludes otherwise, it must calculate the fair value of the asset, compare that value with its carrying amount and record an impairment charge, if any. This guidance is effective beginning in fiscal 2013. The Company evaluated indefinite-lived intangibles during the second quarter utilizing the qualitative approach.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The ASU requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable financial statement users to understand the effects of those arrangements on their financial position. The requirements of this update are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
