SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of June 30, 2013, our significant accounting policies, which are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012, have not changed. In the first quarter of 2013, we added a significant accounting policy related to our investments in marketable securities.

Marketable securities

We have investments in marketable debt and equity securities. We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the date of purchase and reevaluate the classifications at the balance sheet date. Marketable debt securities with maturities of 12 months or less are classified as short-term. Marketable debt securities with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. We have the intent and ability to hold our marketable debt securities until maturity; therefore they are accounted for as held-to-maturity and stated at amortized cost. Our marketable equity security is accounted for as available-for-sale and stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of our available-for-sale security are recognized as unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”).

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

At the beginning of our 2013 fiscal year, we adopted new guidance for the presentation of amounts reclassified from AOCI. The guidance specifically required, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, presentation of significant amounts reclassified from AOCI by component for the respective line items of net income. We adopted the new guidance and present the reclassifications in the notes to the financial statements. See Note 14 for additional information regarding amounts reclassified from AOCI.
