RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

The FASB issued in May 2011, guidance to clarify and revise the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The Company will adopt this guidance prospectively beginning in fiscal 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

The FASB issued in June 2011, guidance that revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The guidance requires that net income and other comprehensive income be reported either in a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Presentation of components of comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity will no longer be allowed. Adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements where the components of net income and other comprehensive income are presented. The Company will apply this guidance retrospectively, as required, in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

The FASB issued in September 2011, guidance that is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test by providing an entity with the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test that is currently in place. An entity would not be required to quantitatively calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
