Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company or AMD) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 30, 2013 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 28, 2013. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012.
The Company uses a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December. The quarters ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 consisted of 13 weeks.
Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards. In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present , either on the face of the financial statement or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. ASU 2013-02 became effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of this standard only impacted the presentation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
