Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titled Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  This standard is intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income of various components.  An entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement affected by the reclassification.  The new disclosure requirements became effective and were adopted for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2013.  The adoption of this disclosure-only guidance did not have an impact on our financial statements.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update titled Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.  The new standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions.  Under the new standard, UTBs will be netted against all available same—jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs.  The standard will be effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2014.  We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
