As previously disclosed in “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (the “Company”) is required to adopt the amended guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, on July 1, 2012, which requires the Company to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company is required to apply the presentation and disclosure requirements of the amended guidance retrospectively.
As a result of the adoption of the amended guidance, the components of OCI are presented in a separate statement following the consolidated statements of earnings. This Current Report on Form 8-K discloses the impact of the adoption of the amended guidance on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements included in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The adoption of the amended guidance did not impact financial results.
