RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company implemented the following accounting standards during the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2012:
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 which provides a consistent definition of fair value in US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and ensures that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same (except for minor differences in wording and style). The amendments change certain fair value measurement principles and enhance the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. The standard became effective for the Company during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and has been applied prospectively, where applicable. The implementation of this standard during the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2012 did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 which requires an entity to present all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. This standard became effective for the Company in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and was applied retrospectively. The implementation of this standard during the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2012 did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 in order to defer only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. No other requirements in ASU 2011-05 were affected by this ASU, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. ASU 2011-12 is effective for the Company in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company's implementation of ASU 2011-12 during the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2012 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operation or cash flows. The Company does not expect the future impact of this standard, once the deferral period is over, will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
