Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries which the Company is required to consolidate. The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of its entities. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year generally consists of a 52-week period and periodically consists of a 53-week period as each fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to December 31. Fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019 ended on December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021, and December 27, 2019, respectively. References to a year included in the consolidated financial statements refer to a fiscal year rather than a calendar year.
Cash
The Company considers depository accounts and all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent that it places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such balances may be in excess of the F.D.I.C. insurance limits.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from its clients not making required payments. Management makes estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable and critically reviews accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, past-due accounts, client credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of the Company’s clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
