In December 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities which requires an entity to disclose information about financial instruments that have been offset and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Entities will be required to provide both net (offset amounts) and gross information in the notes to the financial statements for relevant assets and liabilities that are offset. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company expects to adopt this guidance in fiscal year 2013 and does not believe it will have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

   
 

In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Under the guidance, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The guidance did not change the requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company expects to adopt this guidance in fiscal year 2014 and does not believe it will have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

   
 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
