Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Information regarding significant accounting policies is contained in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2013. Presented below in the following notes is supplemental information that should be read in conjunction with “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in that Report.
Income Taxes
The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 270, “Interim Reporting” (“ASC 270”) and ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary quarterly earnings. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items is recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including the expected operating income for the year, permanent and temporary differences as a result of differences between amounts measured and recognized in accordance with tax laws and financial accounting standards, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current fiscal year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock and nonvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. In periods where a net loss is reported, incremental shares are excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive. In such circumstances, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the basic and diluted earnings per common share calculations will be the same. Anti-dilutive options and nonvested shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because either the option exercise price or the grant date fair value of the nonvested share is greater than the market price of the Company’s common stock. Options to purchase 5.9 million and 3.9 million shares of common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) and Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." The ASU amendment changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20. The amendment is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. Based on the Company's evaluation of the ASU, its adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operation.
