1.	BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As of September 8, 2015, Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, Inc. (the “Company”) owned and operated 49 restaurants under the concept names of Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House (“Del Frisco’s”), Sullivan’s Steakhouse (“Sullivan’s”), and Del Frisco’s Grille (“Grille”). Of the 49 restaurants the Company operated at the end of the period covered by this report, there were 12 Del Frisco’s restaurants, 18 Sullivan’s restaurants and 19 Grille restaurants in operation in 21 states and the District of Columbia. During the 36 weeks ended September 8, 2015, the Company opened a new Del Frisco’s in Orlando, Florida as well as new Grille locations in The Woodlands, Texas, Plano, Texas and Stamford, Connecticut. The Company also closed a Sullivan’s location in Denver, Colorado.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2015. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2014 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2015 (the “2014 10-K”).

The Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending the last Tuesday in December. The fiscal quarters ended September 8, 2015 and September 9, 2014 each contained 12 weeks and are referred to herein as the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 and the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, respectively. Fiscal year 2015 will be a 52-week fiscal year as was fiscal year 2014.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time. Actual amounts may differ from those estimates.

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies from what was previously reported in the 2014 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model, which requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of this ASU by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and the ASU permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has the Company determined the effect, if any, of the standard on the Company’s ongoing financial reporting.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of adopting this ASU to be material to the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
