Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

We prepare financial statements on a 52- or 53-week year that ends on the last Saturday in March.  Fiscal years 2014 and 2013 were 52-week years, whereas fiscal year 2012 was a 53-week year.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current year’s presentation of financial information.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of management estimates.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at fiscal year-end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
