Shipping terms include both FOB shipping point and FOB destination. Stated terms in sale agreements also include payment terms and freight terms. Net revenues include shipping revenues as appropriate.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:12pt'><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">Provisions for sales returns are estimated based on historical experience, and are adjusted for known returns, if material.

The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years are applied to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets when it is not more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be realized.

Also in the U.S. we sponsor other postretirement plans for health care and life insurance benefits. Expenses and liabilities for the pension plans and other postretirement plans are actuarially calculated. These calculations are based on our assumptions related to the discount rate, expected return on assets, projected salary increases and health care cost trend rates. The discount rate assumption is determined using an actuarial yield curve approach, which enables us to select a discount rate that reflects the characteristics of the plan. The approach identifies a broad universe of corporate bonds that meet the quality and size criteria for the particular plan. We use this approach rather than a specific index that has a certain set of bonds that may or may not be representative of the characteristics of our particular plan. Our expected long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets was based on our target asset allocation assumption of 60 percent equities and 40 percent fixed-income. Management, in conjunction with our external financial advisors, determines the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets by considering the expected future returns and volatility levels for each asset class that are based on historical returns and forward</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">-</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">looking observations. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption used in each non-U.S. plan is determined on a plan-by-plan basis for each local jurisdiction and is based on expected future returns for the investment mix of assets currently in the portfolio for that plan.  Management, in conjunction with our external financial advisors, develops expected rates of return for each plan, considers expected long-term returns for each asset category in the plan, reviews expectations for inflation for each local jurisdiction, and estimates the impact of active management of the plan's assets. </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements includes disclosure of assumptions employed in these measurements for both the non-U.S. and U.S. plans.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:12pt'><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">During 2010, we made a decision to limit the postemployment benefits coverage to a period of twelve months after active employment ends.

The ARO is recognized at fair value when the liability is incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful life of the related asset. We have recognized a liability related to special handling of asbestos related materials in certain facilities for which we have plans or expectation of plans to undertake a major renovation or demolition project that would require the removal of asbestos or have plans or expectation of plans to exit a facility. In addition, we have determined that </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">we have </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">facilities </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">with </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">some level of asbestos that will require abatement action in the future. </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Once the probability and timeframe of an action are determined, we apply certain assumptions to determine the related liability and asset. These assumptions include the use of inflation rates, the use of credit adjusted risk-free discount rates and the estimation of costs to handle asbestos related materials. The recorded liability is required to be adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and/or revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate. The asset retirement obligation liability was $3,623 and $1,400 at </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">December 1, 2012 and December 3, 2011</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, respectively. </font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:12pt'><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0px;">Environmental Costs:</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments are made, or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share is attributable to share-based compensation awards. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding awards, which computes total employee proceeds as the sum of (a) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award, (b) the amount of unearned share-based compensation costs attributed to future services and (c) the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the award. Share-based compensation awards for which total employee proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share follows:</font></p><p style='margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;'></p><div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:20px;"><tr style="height: 20px"><td style="width: 383px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:383px;"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;COLOR: #000000;">(shares in thousands)</font></td><td style="width: 9px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:9px;"> </td><td style="width: 75px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;"><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;COLOR: #000000;TEXT-ALIGN: center;">2012</font></td><td style="width: 9px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:9px;"> </td><td style="width: 68px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:68px;"><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;COLOR: #000000;TEXT-ALIGN: center;">2011</font></td><td style="width: 9px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:9px;"> </td><td style="width: 68px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:68px;"><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;COLOR: #000000;TEXT-ALIGN: center;">2010</font></td></tr><tr style="height: 20px"><td style="width: 383px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:383px;"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;COLOR: #000000;">Net income attributable to H.B.

Nature Of Operations

NatureOfOperations

Note 1: Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesNature of Business: H.B. Fuller Company and its subsidiaries formulate, manufacture and market adhesives, sealants and other specialty chemical products globally, with sales operations in 40 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, the Asia Pacific region, India, the Middle East and Africa. Our business is reported in five operating segments: North America Adhesives, Construction Products, EIMEA (Europe, India, Middle East and Africa), Latin America Adhesives and Asia Pacific. Of the 2012 net revenue, North America Adhesives operating segment accounted for 36 percent, Construction Products 8 percent, EIMEA 36 percent, Latin America Adhesives 8 percent and Asia Pacific 12 percent.The North America Adhesives, EIMEA, Latin America Adhesives and Asia Pacific operating segments produce and supply industrial and performance adhesives products for applications in various markets, including assembly (appliances, filters, construction, etc.), packaging (food and beverage containers, consumer goods, durable and non-durable goods, etc.), converting (corrugation, tape and label, paper converting, multi-wall bags and sacks, etc.), nonwoven and hygiene (disposable diapers, feminine care, medical garments, tissue and towel, etc.), performance wood (windows, doors, wood flooring, etc.), textile (footwear, sportswear, etc.), flexible packaging, graphic arts and envelope.The Construction Products operating segment includes products used for tile setting (adhesives, grouts, mortars, sealers, levelers, etc.) and HVAC and insulation applications (duct sealants, weather barriers and fungicidal coatings, block fillers, etc.).On August 6, 2012 we sold our Central America Paints business for cash proceeds of $118,459 and recorded a gain of $66,179 ($51,060, net of tax). After the sale of our Central America Paints business, we now have five reportable segments: North America Adhesives, Construction Products, EIMEA, Latin America Adhesives and Asia Pacific. Prior periods have been restated for the removal of our Latin America Paints operating segment which is now considered discontinued operations. Corporate expenses, which are fully allocated to each operating segment, have been reallocated to the remaining reportable operating segments. Principles of Consolidation: The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of H.B. Fuller Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Investments in affiliated companies in which we exercise significant influence, but which we do not control, are accounted for in the Consolidated Financial Statements under the equity method of accounting. As such, consolidated net income includes our equity portion in current earnings of such companies, after elimination of intercompany profits. Investments in which we do not exercise significant influence (generally less than a 20 percent ownership interest) are accounted for under the cost method.Our 50 percent ownership in Sekisui-Fuller Company, Ltd., our Japan joint venture, is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we do not exercise control over the company. For fiscal years 2012 and 2011, this equity method investment exceeded the 10 percent threshold but not the 20 percent threshold test for a significant subsidiary as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As such, summarized financial information as of December 1, 2012 and December 3, 2011for Sekisui-Fuller Company, Ltd. is as follows: <div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:20px;"><tr style="height: 34px"><td colspan="3" style="width: 144px;

Fiscal year-end dates were December 1, 2012, December 3, 2011 and November 27, 2010 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Every five or six years we have a 53rd week in our fiscal year. 2011 was a 53-week year for us.Use of Estimates: Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.Revenue Recognition: For shipments made to customers, title generally passes to the customer when all requirements of the sales arrangement have been completed, which is generally at the time of delivery. Revenue from product sales is recorded when title to the product transfers, no remaining performance obligations exist, the terms of the sale are fixed and collection is probable. Shipping terms include both FOB shipping point and FOB destination. Stated terms in sale agreements also include payment terms and freight terms. Net revenues include shipping revenues as appropriate.Provisions for sales returns are estimated based on historical experience, and are adjusted for known returns, if material. Customer incentive programs (primarily volume purchase rebates) and arrangements such as cooperative advertising, slotting fees and buy-downs are recorded as a reduction of net revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 605-50, “Customer Payments and Incentives”. Rebates recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income were $9,707, $14,751 and $18,151 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For certain products, consigned inventory is maintained at customer locations. For these products, revenue is recognized in the period that the inventory is consumed. Sales to distributors also require a distribution agreement or purchase order. As a normal practice, distributors do not have a right of return.Cost of Sales: Cost of sales includes raw materials, container costs, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, shipping and receiving costs, freight costs, depreciation of manufacturing equipment and other less significant indirect costs related to the production of our products.Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses include sales and marketing, research and development, technical and customer service, finance, legal, human resources, general management and similar expenses.Income Taxes: The income tax provision is computed based on the pre-tax income included in the Consolidated Statements of Income before income from equity method investments. The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years are applied to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets when it is not more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be realized. See Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements.Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents are highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.Restrictions on Cash: There were no restrictions on cash as of December 1, 2012. There are no contractual or regulatory restrictions on the ability of consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances to us, except for typical statutory restrictions which prohibit distributions in excess of net capital or similar tests. However, the majority of our cash in non-U.S. locations is considered permanently reinvested.Trade Receivable and Allowances: Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Allowances are maintained for doubtful accounts, credits related to pricing or quantities shipped and early payment discounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes an estimate of future uncollectible receivables based on the aging of the receivable balance and our collection experience. The allowance also includes specific customer accounts when it is probable that the full amount of the receivable will not be collected. Invoices are written off against the allowance when the invoice is 18 months past terms. See Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.  Inventories: Inventories recorded at cost (not in excess of market value) as determined by the last-in, first-out method (LIFO) represent approximately 32 percent of consolidated inventories. During 2012 there was no liquidation of LIFO inventory layers. During 2011 and 2010 reductions in inventory quantities resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory layers causing an increase in net pre-tax income of $273 and $1,349, respectively. The remaining inventories, which include all non-U.S. operations, are valued at the lower of cost (mainly weighted-average actual cost) or market value.Investments: Investments with a value of $9,794 represent the cash surrender value of life insurance contracts on December 1, 2012. These assets are held to primarily support supplemental pension plans and are recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The corresponding gain or loss associated with these contracts is reported in earnings each period as a component of “Other income (expense), net”.Investments in Equity Securities Carried at Cost:  Fair value of cost method investments is assessed according to accounting standards.  During 2012, we determined the fair value of one of our cost basis investments was lower than the investment value on our balance sheet based on investor approval of a buy-out offer from the majority shareholder; and, the fair value of another of our cost basis investments was lower than the investment value on our balance sheet based on a recently completed round of additional financing.  Since both of these impairments that were considered other than temporary, we recorded non-cash charges associated with these impairments of $1,517.  We did not have any impairment of our cost method investments for the years ended December 3, 2011 or November 27, 2010.  The book value of the cost method investments as of December 1, 2012 was $2,085 and 3,571 as of December 3, 2011.Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated over the useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from 20 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment, and the shorter of the lease or expected life for leasehold improvements. Fully depreciated assets are retained in property and accumulated depreciation accounts until removed from service. Upon disposal, assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed. Upon sale of an asset, the difference between the proceeds and remaining net book value is charged or credited to other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Expenditures that add value or extend the life of the respective assets are capitalized, while expenditures that are typical recurring repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Interest costs associated with construction and implementation of property, plant and equipment of $151, $114 and $240 were capitalized in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.Goodwill: We test goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Impairment testing is performed for each of our reporting units by comparing the reporting unit's estimated fair value to its carrying amount, including goodwill. We use a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. Our judgment is required in developing the assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. These assumptions include revenue growth rates, profit margin percentages, discount rates, perpetuity growth rates, future capital expenditures and working capital requirements. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered to not be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment, and we calculate an implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, excluding goodwill. An impairment charge is recorded for any excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value. Based on our 2012 annual assessment, we determined that none of our goodwill was impaired. Intangible Assets: Intangible assets include patents and other intangible assets acquired from independent parties and are amortized on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 20 years. The straight-line method of amortization of these assets reflects an appropriate allocation of the costs of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained in each reporting period. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Our long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset (asset group) and its eventual disposition. The impairment loss to be recorded would be the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation technique. Costs related to internally developed intangible assets are expensed as incurred. See Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.Foreign Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. functional currency entities are translated to U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the resulting gains and losses arising from the translation of those net assets are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the year. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We consider a subsidiary's sales price drivers, currency denomination of sales transactions and inventory purchases to be the primary indicators in determining a foreign subsidiary's functional currency. Our subsidiaries in Latin America and certain European countries have a functional currency different than their local currency. All other foreign subsidiaries, which are located in North America, Europe and Asia, have the same local and functional currency. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits: We sponsor defined-benefit pension plans in both the U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Also in the U.S. we sponsor other postretirement plans for health care and life insurance benefits. Expenses and liabilities for the pension plans and other postretirement plans are actuarially calculated. These calculations are based on our assumptions related to the discount rate, expected return on assets, projected salary increases and health care cost trend rates. The discount rate assumption is determined using an actuarial yield curve approach, which enables us to select a discount rate that reflects the characteristics of the plan. The approach identifies a broad universe of corporate bonds that meet the quality and size criteria for the particular plan. We use this approach rather than a specific index that has a certain set of bonds that may or may not be representative of the characteristics of our particular plan. Our expected long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets was based on our target asset allocation assumption of 60 percent equities and 40 percent fixed-income. Management, in conjunction with our external financial advisors, determines the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets by considering the expected future returns and volatility levels for each asset class that are based on historical returns and forward-looking observations. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption used in each non-U.S. plan is determined on a plan-by-plan basis for each local jurisdiction and is based on expected future returns for the investment mix of assets currently in the portfolio for that plan.  Management, in conjunction with our external financial advisors, develops expected rates of return for each plan, considers expected long-term returns for each asset category in the plan, reviews expectations for inflation for each local jurisdiction, and estimates the impact of active management of the plan's assets. Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements includes disclosure of assumptions employed in these measurements for both the non-U.S. and U.S. plans. During 2010, we made a decision to limit the postemployment benefits coverage to a period of twelve months after active employment ends. The result of this decision was a one-time benefit of $2,534 that was recorded in the SG&A expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Income in 2010.Asset Retirement Obligations: We recognize asset retirement obligations (AROs) in the period in which we have an existing legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The ARO is recognized at fair value when the liability is incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful life of the related asset. We have recognized a liability related to special handling of asbestos related materials in certain facilities for which we have plans or expectation of plans to undertake a major renovation or demolition project that would require the removal of asbestos or have plans or expectation of plans to exit a facility. In addition, we have determined that we have facilities with some level of asbestos that will require abatement action in the future. Once the probability and timeframe of an action are determined, we apply certain assumptions to determine the related liability and asset. These assumptions include the use of inflation rates, the use of credit adjusted risk-free discount rates and the estimation of costs to handle asbestos related materials. The recorded liability is required to be adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and/or revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate. The asset retirement obligation liability was $3,623 and $1,400 at December 1, 2012 and December 3, 2011, respectively.  Environmental Costs: Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments are made, or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The timing of these accruals is generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies.Share-based Compensation: We have various share-based compensation programs, which provide for equity awards, including stock options and restricted stock. We use the straight-line method to recognize compensation expense associated with share-based awards based on the fair value on the date of grant, net of the estimated forfeiture rate. Expense is recognized over the requisite service period related to each award, which is the period between the grant date and the earlier of the award's stated vesting term or the date the employee is eligible for early retirement based on the terms of the plan. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. All of our stock compensation expense is recorded in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to H.B. Fuller by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share is attributable to share-based compensation awards. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding awards, which computes total employee proceeds as the sum of (a) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award, (b) the amount of unearned share-based compensation costs attributed to future services and (c) the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the award. Share-based compensation awards for which total employee proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share follows:<div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:20px;"><tr style="height: 20px"><td style="width: 383px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:383px;">(shares in thousands)</td><td style="width: 9px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:9px;"> </td><td style="width: 75px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:75px;">2012</td><td style="width: 9px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:9px;"> </td><td style="width: 68px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:68px;">2011</td><td style="width: 9px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:9px;"> </td><td style="width: 68px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:68px;">2010</td></tr><tr style="height: 20px"><td style="width: 383px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:383px;">Net income attributable to H.B.

We minimize risks from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative instruments. Derivatives consisted primarily of forward currency contracts used to manage foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Because derivative instruments outstanding were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, the gains and losses related to mark-to-market adjustments were recognized as other income or expense in the income statement during the periods the derivative instruments were outstanding. We do not enter into any speculative positions with regard to derivative instruments. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.Purchase of Company Common Stock: Under the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, repurchased stock is included in authorized shares, but is not included in shares outstanding. The excess of the repurchase cost over par value is charged to additional paid-in capital. When additional paid-in capital is exhausted, the excess reduces retained earnings. We repurchased 54,289, 48,675 and 17,804 shares of common stock in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in connection with the statutory minimum for the tax withholdings related to vesting of restricted shares.  On September 30, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $100,000 of our outstanding common shares. During 2012, we repurchased 100,000 shares for $2,999 and during 2011, we repurchased 345,446 shares for $7,491 under this program. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Description Of New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

DescriptionOfNewAccountingPronouncementsNotYetAdopted

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”. This ASU does not extend the use of fair value but, provides guidance about how fair value should be applied where it already is required or permitted under U.S. GAAP or IFRS. For U.S. GAAP, most of the changes are clarifications of existing guidance or wording changes to align with IFRS 13. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” which amended the guidance on goodwill impairment testing to allow companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, an entity determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Assets for Impairment” which amended the guidance on indefinite-lived intangible asset testing to allow companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test for indefinite-lived assets. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, a company determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, which is our fiscal year 2013, but early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. New Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” These updates require entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement, or in separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new requirements do not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. However, the current option under existing standards to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity is eliminated. The updates are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 which is our fiscal year 2013. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. New Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” These updates require entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement, or in separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new requirements do not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. However, the current option under existing standards to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity is eliminated. The updates are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 which is our fiscal year 2013. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
