New Accounting Standards
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-11 to provide guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB's objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. New recurring disclosures are not required because the ASU does not affect the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The company did not early adopt this guidance for the period ended September 28, 2013. The company is in the process of quantifying the effect, if any, of adopting this guidance.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This standard requires additional disclosures regarding the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2013.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)" - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangibles Assets for Impairment (revised standard). The revised standard is intended to reduce the costs and complexity of the annual impairment testing by providing entities an option to perform a "qualitative" assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. This ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company did not early adopt this guidance for its 2012 annual impairment testing. The Company adopted this guidance for its 2013 annual impairment testing performed in the third quarter of 2013.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance enhancing disclosure requirements on the nature of an entity's right to offset and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative instruments. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the gross amounts subject to rights of set-off, amounts offset in accordance with the accounting standards followed, and the related net exposure. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods therein. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
