NOTE P – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on the presentation of total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income.  This guidance is intended to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 (our fiscal 2013 first quarter).  We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance modifying the impairment test for goodwill by allowing businesses to first decide whether they need to do the two-step impairment test.  Under the guidance, a business no longer has to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless it believes it is very likely that the reporting unit's fair value is less than the carrying value.  The guidance is effective for impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (our fiscal 2013).  We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
