Receivables [Abstract]

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains arrangements under which eligible accounts receivable in Japan are sold without recourse to unrelated third-party financial institutions. These receivables were not included in the consolidated balance sheet as the criteria for sale treatment had been met. After a transfer of financial assets, an entity stops recognizing the financial assets when control has been surrendered. The agreement met the criteria of a true sale of these assets since the acquiring party retained the title to these receivables and had assumed the risk that the receivables will be collectible. The Company pays administrative fees as well as interest ranging from 1.23% to 1.68% based on the anticipated length of time between the date the sale is consummated and the expected collection date of the receivables sold. The Company sold $6.7 million and $19.6 million of receivables, respectively, during the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011. There were no material gains or losses on the sale of such receivables. There were zero amounts due from such third party financial institutions at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
