ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES
NOTE 1:
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. We follow the same accounting policies for preparing both quarterly and annual financial information. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2011.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

During the first quarter of 2012, we adopted the accounting standard regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. This standard was issued to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. We have presented all non owner changes in shareholders' equity in a single, continuous statement in our financial statements as “Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.” The standard does not change the following: items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, the requirement to disclose the tax effect for each component of other comprehensive income or how earnings per share is calculated or presented. Our comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation and unrealized gains and losses on investments. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2012 impacted our financial statement presentation only.

Recent Accounting Guidance not yet Effective

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment. The new guidance provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying amounts. If an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each asset exceeds its carrying amount, it would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. If the entity concludes otherwise, it is required to perform an impairment test comparing the carrying value of the intangible asset with its fair value and recognize an impairment loss if necessary. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning in our fiscal year 2013 and early adoption is permitted.
