Item 8.01. Other Events

 

Generac Holdings Inc. is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect the retrospective adoption of an amendment to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” (“ASC 220”), with respect to the financial information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we adopted the amendment to ASC 220, which addressed the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements. The new guidance eliminated the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Instead, an entity is required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. Adoption of this new guidance resulted only in changes to presentation of our financial statements and does not change existing recognition and measurement requirements in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Following is a presentation of comprehensive income for each annual period in the three years ended December 31, 2011:
