SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of September 28, 2014, our significant accounting policies, which are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2013, have not changed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity's financial statements. Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is "substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.” The new guidance becomes effective for the Company for fiscal years ending on or after December 25, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of the new accounting guidance will have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which prescribes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in the accounting of revenue arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance will supersede virtually all existing revenue guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). There are two transition options available to entities: the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. Under the full retrospective approach, the Company would restate prior periods in compliance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” Alternatively, the Company may elect the modified retrospective approach, which allows for the new revenue standard to be applied to existing contracts as of the effective date and record a cumulative catch-up adjustment to retained earnings. The new guidance becomes effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning on or after January 2, 2017. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the new revenue guidance; however, we do not expect that the adoption of the new accounting guidance will have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Amendment of Discontinued Operations,” which amends the definition of a discontinued operation in ASC 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations,” and requires entities to provide expanded disclosures on all disposal transactions. The new guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning on or after December 29, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of the new accounting guidance will have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The recent accounting pronouncements noted above and others not specifically identified in our disclosures are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
