Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements in the Amended 2011 Form 10-K/A. In the nine months ended September 28, 2012, there have been no significant changes to these policies. In the nine months ended September 28, 2012, there have been no accounting pronouncements issued that are expected to have a significant effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following accounting pronouncements were adopted and became effective with respect to the Company in 2012 and 2011:

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 accounting guidance related to fair value measurements ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance provides clarification to existing standards, and also provides new required disclosures, primarily related to Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 accounting guidance related to the presentation requirements for components of comprehensive income ASC 220 - Comprehensive Income. This update was amended in December 2011 by ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU No. 2011-05. This update defers only those changes in update ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. All other requirements in update ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by this update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. ASU No. 2011-05 and 2011-12 are effective for fiscal years (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance is effective for the Company and the Company has presented other comprehensive income in a single continuous financial statement, which was previously presented within the consolidated statements of changes in total equity.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08 accounting guidance related to the testing of goodwill for impairment

ASC 350 - Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. Under this guidance, entities will have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. This guidance will become effective for the Company on December 31, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The objective of this ASU is to improve reporting by requiring entities to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in the statement of operations. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied retrospectively and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU will not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements other than revising the presentation relating to items reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
