14. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI)

In February, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02 which requires companies to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The new guidance allows companies to present this information on the face of the financial statements, if certain requirements are met. Otherwise, the information must be presented in the notes. If a company is unable to identify the line item of net income affected by any significant amount reclassified out of AOCI during a reporting period (including when all reclassifications for the period are not to net income in their entirety), the information must be reported in the notes. In addition, ASU 2013-02 requires detailed reporting about changes in AOCI balances. It requires companies to present details of current-period changes in AOCI for each component of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. The company adopted the new guidance on December 30, 2012 and will be applied prospectively. There was no impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

The following table sets forth the changes in the components of AOCI by component (in thousands):
