Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) has been condensed and/or omitted. For further information, please refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 28, 2014 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s results for the periods presented . Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On October 28, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the fiscal year of the Company from a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31 of each year to a calendar fiscal year ending on December 31, effective as of the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. As a result of this change, the Company’s quarters for fiscal year 2015 end on March 29, 2015, June 28, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. Thereafter, the Company’s fiscal quarters will end on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Investments in unconsolidated investees, which were 20% or less owned and where the Company did not have the ability to significantly influence the operating or financial decisions of the entity, were accounted for under the cost method. See Note 6, Cost Method Investments , for further discussion of the Company’s investment in Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC and investment in Dania Entertainment Holdings, LLC. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Standards In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”). Under this new guidance, entities that measure inventory using any method other than last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method will be required to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendments in this ASU, which should be applied prospectively, are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2015-11 will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact this amendment will have on its financial statements.In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU 2015-03. The amendments in this ASU are effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard during the third quarter of 2015. As a result, debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Company’s indebtedness under the Credit Agreement as further discussed in Note 8, Debt . In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue from the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, which will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements. |
