In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair
value measurements, which requires additional disclosures and
clarifications to existing disclosures. This authoritative
guidance requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the
amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and
Level 2 fair value measurements and also to describe the
reasons for these transfers. This authoritative guidance also
requires enhanced disclosure of activity in Level 3 fair
value measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of
existing disclosures for Level 1 and Level 2 fair
value measurements becomes effective the first interim reporting
period after December 15, 2009 and will be effective for
Applied in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Disclosures
regarding activity within Level 3 fair value measurements
becomes effective the first interim reporting period after
December 15, 2010 and will be effective for Applied in the
second quarter of fiscal 2011. Applied is evaluating the
potential impact of the implementation of this authoritative
guidance on its consolidated financial statements. See
Note 5 for information and related disclosures regarding
Applied’s fair value measurements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on variable
interest entities, which requires revised evaluations of whether
entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing
assessments of control over such entities,
and additional disclosures for variable interests. In December
2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the financial
reporting by entities involved with variable interest entities
which amends previously issued guidance on variable interest
entities. The amendments in this authoritative guidance replace
the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for
determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity with an
approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the
power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity
that most significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the
entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the
entity. This authoritative guidance becomes effective the first
annual reporting period after November 15, 2009 and will be
effective for Applied in fiscal 2011. Applied is evaluating the
potential impact of the implementation of this authoritative
guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
