ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the reporting of the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements. The new accounting guidance requires all companies to report the effect of items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items of net income either on the face of the financial statements where net income is presented or in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, including interim periods. The Company adopted this standard for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Refer to Note 9 of this Form 10-Q for the new disclosure.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or with effective dates during fiscal 2014 had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
