Significant Accounting Policies

For a discussion of our significant accounting policies, see "Part I – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Significant Accounting Policies" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 29, 2019. Except for the significant accounting policy associated with leases as discussed below, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 29, 2019.

Leases

In the first quarter of 2020, we elected new accounting policies in connection with the adoption of ASC 842 – Leases. We do not recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases with a term of 12 months or less. For real estate and gas plant leases entered into after adoption, we do not separate lease and non-lease components. Sublease income is presented within lease expense.
