SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


As of June 26, 2011, our significant accounting policies, which are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2010, have not changed materially.


New Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.


In May 2011, the FASB amended its guidance related to fair value measurements in order to align the definition of fair value measurements and the related disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. These amendments, which are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, also change certain existing fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. We do not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.


At the beginning of our 2011 fiscal year, we adopted new guidance that amended previous guidance for the accounting of revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The adoption of this guidance, which specifically addressed how consideration should be allocated to the separate units of account included in revenue arrangements, did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
