NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Beginning in June 2011, the FASB issued and subsequently amended certain guidance to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. These amendments eliminated the presentation of components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Instead, the amended guidance requires the presentation of either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, the new guidance required numerous, yet less significant changes in the details of the presentation of additional information regarding other comprehensive income on the face of the new statements and in the accompanying footnotes. As permitted, we elected early adoption of these standards for fiscal year 2012 and applied subsequent amendments to all affected disclosures accompanying these financial statements. While these amended standards affect the presentation of other comprehensive income and certain detailed disclosures, they did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued additional guidance on reporting amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). We adopted the guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Under the new guidance, we are required to present additional details about our reclassifications in a tabular disclosure in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements. Principally, the disclosures will indicate by key component of AOCI the nature of the reclassifications and the income statement line items affected. While the new guidance has resulted in additional detailed disclosures, it has not impacted our financial position or results of operations.  Note (17) to these consolidated financial statements presents new disclosures that have been prepared in accordance with the new guidance.

 

Unless otherwise discussed above, the Company’s management believes that the impact of other recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.
