ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS *Adopted Accounting Pronouncements* Defined Benefit Plans Adoption In December 2008, the FASB issued ASC Subtopic 715-20, Defined Benefit Plans — General (“ASC 715-20”). This statement provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. We adopted the disclosure provisions required by ASC 715-20 in fiscal 2010 but are not required to implement the disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes. See Note 22 — Employee Benefit Plans. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Adoption In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update amends FASB ASC 820-10-50 to require new disclosures concerning (1) transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, and (2) activity in Level 3 measurements. In addition, this update clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements regarding the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques. Finally, this update makes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. We adopted this update on May 2, 2010, except for the requirement to separately disclose activity in Level 3 measurements which is effective for our fiscal year ended October 28, 2012. With the exception of additional fair value measurement disclosures, the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 16 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements. *Recent Accounting Pronouncements* In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2011-04”). The amendments to this update provide a uniform framework for applying the principles of fair value measurement and include (i) amendments that clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and (ii) amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. These amendments do not require additional fair value measurements. We will adopt ASU 2011-04 in our second fiscal quarter ended April 29, 2012. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) (“ASU 2011-05”), which amends its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The new guidance requires that all components of comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This amendment is to be applied retrospectively. We will adopt ASU 2011-05 in our first quarter of fiscal 2013 and its adoption will not have any impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”), which gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and, in some cases, by-pass the two-step impairment test. Early adoption is permitted. Therefore, we will adopt this ASU in our fiscal year ended October 28, 2012. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2011-08 will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
