Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Policy

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) — Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” and ASU 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985) — Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements.” ASU 2009-13 modifies the requirements that must be met for an entity to recognize revenue from the sale of a delivered item that is part of a multiple-element arrangement when other items have not yet been delivered. ASU 2009-13 establishes a selling price hierarchy that allows for the use of an estimated selling price to determine the allocation of arrangement consideration to a deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement where neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available for that deliverable. Overall arrangement consideration is allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables based on their relative selling prices. The residual method of allocating arrangement consideration has been eliminated. ASU 2009-14 modifies the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality. The Company adopted the provisions of these standards beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 on a prospective basis. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
