The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Tractor Supply Company (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.  The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
