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.
