18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The company has evaluated subsequent events since April 22, 2017, the date of these financial statements. We believe there were no material events or transactions discovered during this evaluation that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements other than the item discussed below.

Subsequent to the end of our first quarter of 2017, the company announced an enhanced organizational structure designed to provide greater focus on the company’s strategic objectives, emphasize brand growth and innovation in line with a national branded food company, drive enhanced accountability, reduce costs, and strengthen long-term strategy.  The new organizational structure establishes two business units (“BUs”), Fresh Bakery and Specialty/Snacking, and realigns key leadership roles.  The new structure also provides for centralized marketing, sales, supply chain, shared-services/administrative, and corporate strategy functions, each with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.  The company intends to transition to the new structure over the next several months with full implementation expected during fiscal 2018.  The current DSD and warehouse segmentation will remain until the new structure is in place.
