Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are presented in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2010, which are contained in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2010 Form 10-K”). The significant accounting policies that are most critical and aid in fully understanding and evaluating the reported financial results include the following:

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements is not included. The Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of December 26, 2010 that is presented herein was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year then ended. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 2, 2011 have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accountants, but in the opinion of management, they contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Interim period operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. The Company suggests that the accompanying financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2010 Form 10-K. Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in the 2010 Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing activities: Through October 2, 2011, property and equipment, net included approximately $2.7 million of construction in process associated with the Company’s corporate support center funded by tenant improvement allowances included in its new lease. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Company’s new corporate support center lease.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements That the Company Has Not Yet Adopted. In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The new guidance requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU No. 2011-05 requires retrospective application and the Company will adopt the new guidance in its first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any impact on its operating results.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The amendments are intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing by permitting an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value before performing the two-step goodwill impairment test that exists currently. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. This guidance will be required beginning with the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our operating results.
