Retrospective Reporting of Additional Information in Response to Adoption of New Accounting Standard
The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the retrospective impact of the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s amended accounting standard, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, an amendment to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 220, Comprehensive Income (ASU No. 2011-05, as amended by ASU No. 2011-12) (the “New Accounting Standard”) on its historical financial statements in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. ASU No. 2011-05, which the Company adopted beginning with its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, requires, among other things, that the Company disclose the components of comprehensive income (loss) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) or in two separate but consecutive statements. The retrospective application of the New Accounting Standard has not yet been reflected in the Company’s annual financial statements, however, the information is provided in the table below. The table below presents the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (loss) for each of the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which previously included this information in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
