SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	1. Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Presentation: The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Continental Materials Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 28, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods and to ensure the financial statements are not misleading. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2019 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2020 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations, the net decrease in cash or the total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity of the Company. During the quarter ended March 30, 2019 the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Transit Mix Concrete Company’s ready-mix business and Daniels sand operation. See Note 15. Accordingly, the operations of these businesses are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Sales are recognized when control of the promised goods or services transfers to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days after invoice is billed to the customer. Sales are reported net of sales tax. Shipping and other transportation costs paid by the Company and rebilled to the buyer are recorded gross (as both sales and cost of sales). The Company generally recognizes revenue from the sale of products at the time the products are shipped. While the return of products is generally not allowed, some large customers have been granted the right to return a certain amount at the end of the normal selling season for seasonal products. Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on current program terms and historical experience. Provisions for estimated returns, discounts, volume rebates and other price adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized and are netted against revenues. The Company is responsible for warranties related to the manufacture of its HVAC products and estimates the future warranty claims based upon historical experience and management estimates. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activities and records provisions, as necessary. The majority of sales within the Door division do not include extended installation components. Most of the sales of MDHI that contain installation are completed within 30 days and contain two specific components, the product and the installation service. The transaction price for these contracts is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stated stand-alone price. Revenue is recognized at a point in time as each performance obligation is completed. The Company does not offer maintenance or service contracts. The acquisition of Fastrac and Serenity in mid-2019 expanded the type of contracts that require analysis under Topic 606 guidelines as these operations may include extended installation services within the contracts. The company negotiates the terms of the contract and prepares a detailed project quote that might include number and type of doors, number and style of hardware, locks, electronic items and estimated installation cost. Contract price for each item of the quote is negotiated and stated in the contract. Modifications are treated as adjustments to an existing contract and are part of the changes in billing invoices. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations, per the contract agreement, are completed. Revenue for product is recognized as shipped. Revenue for installation services is recognized on a percentage of completion method with costs in excess of billings and/or billings in excess of costs being recorded as an asset or liability until recognized. Costs in excess of billings, of approximately $238,000 and $420,000, are included in Prepaid expenses and retainage on contracts of approximately $182,000 and $345,000 is included in Receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 28, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. See Note 7, Segment reporting for disaggregation of revenue by segment. Leases Effective December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019) the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which superseded Topic 840, “Leases”. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for asset categories, except office space, and to exclude short-term leases from its Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the office space lease category the election was made to report lease and non-lease components separately as the non-lease components are billed and paid separately and are not a fixed amount over the lease term. The implicit discount rate of leases is used to calculate present values when available. When an implicit discount rate is not readily available an incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate present values.

Leases

Effective December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019) the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which superseded Topic 840, “Leases”. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for asset categories, except office space, and to exclude short-term leases from its Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the office space lease category the election was made to report lease and non-lease components separately as the non-lease components are billed and paid separately and are not a fixed amount over the lease term. The implicit discount rate of leases is used to calculate present values when available. When an implicit discount rate is not readily available an incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate present values.
