During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, News Corporation (the “Company”) adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to the financial information for the periods included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2012 and amended on October 1, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). ASU 2011-05 requires an entity to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company elected to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in two separate, but consecutive, statements.
The following presents the adoption of ASU 2011-05 in each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
