Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Set forth in Exhibit 99 and incorporated herein by reference are Items 6, 7, and 8 of the Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2009 which have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Companys adoption of new guidance on the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests (formerly referred to as minority interests).
The new guidance, which the Company adopted at the beginning of its fiscal year ending October 2, 2010, requires that noncontrolling interests be reported as a separate component of equity and that net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company be presented separately in the statement of income. In addition to these presentation changes in the balance sheet and statement of income, dividends to noncontrolling interests are presented in financing cash flows. The Company previously presented dividends to noncontrolling interests in operating cash flows. Additionally, the buyout of a noncontrolling interest is now presented in financing cash flows where previously it was presented in investing cash flows.
