2. Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition.In accordance with SEC Staff

The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Bulletin 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial StatementsPolicies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2019. Significant changes to our accounting policies as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin 104,” we recognize revenues principally from the salea result of products at the point of passage of title, which is at the time of shipment, except for certain customers for which it occurs when the products reach their destination.

We also recognize revenue on a Ship-In-Place basis for three customers who have required that we hold the product after final production is complete. In this case, a written agreement has been executed (at the customer’s request) whereby the customer accepts the risk of loss for product that is invoiced under the Ship-In-Place arrangement. For each transaction for which revenue is recognized under a Ship-In-Place arrangement, all final manufacturing inspections have been completed and customer acceptance has been obtained. In the three months ended December 30, 2017, 1.8% of the Company’s total net sales were recognized under Ship-In-Place transactions.

adopting new accounting standards are discussed below.

. The core principle of Modification Accounting”, inthis ASU is that an effortentity should recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from a lease. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to reduce diversity in practicemake lease payments (the lease liability) and a lease asset (right-of-use asset) representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as it relates to applying modificationa finance or operating lease. This new accounting for changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards. This ASUguidance is effective for public companies for the financial statements issued for annual periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early2018 and early adoption is permitted.
The Company adopted this accounting standard on March 31, 2019 and has elected the modified retrospective transition method which permits the application of the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases, and will recognize the lease payments in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The Company has elected the following practical expedients (which must be elected as a package and applied consistently to all leases): an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company has also elected the practical expedient which permits the inclusion of lease and nonlease components as a single component and account for it as a lease. This election has been made for all asset classes. We also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases which resulted in the extension of lease terms for certain existing leases.

The cumulative-effect of the changes made to the balance sheet on the first day of adoption resulted in the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for operating lease commitments of $27,378. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a materialaccounting standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, debt compliance or the captions on the consolidated statement of cash flows.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. For leases where the Company is the lessee, it recognizes lease assets and related lease liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term is the noncancellable period for which a lessee has the right to use an underlying asset, including periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. For renewal options, the Company performs an assessment at commencement if it is reasonably likely to exercise the option. The assessment is based on the Company’s intentions, past practices, estimates and factors that create an economic incentive for the Company. Generally, the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option in a lease contract, with the exception of some of our leased manufacturing facilities. While some of the Company’s leases include options allowing early termination of the lease, the Company historically has not terminated its lease agreements early unless there is an economic, financial statements.

or business reason to do so; therefore, the Company does not typically consider the termination option in its lease term at commencement.

Most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the accelerated interest method of recognition. The Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases, and will recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
In March 2017,February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation2018-02,

Under current GAAP, all components of both net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement cost are included within selling, general and administrative costs on the income statement. This ASU would require entities to include only the service cost component within selling, general and administrative costs whereas all other components would be included within other non-operating expense. In addition, only the service cost component would be eligible for capitalization when applicable (for example, as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset). The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively for the presentationperiod of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets.

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles—
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)
: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”.Impairment. The objective of this standard update is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, assuming the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In OctoberSeptember 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes2016-13, Financial Instruments –
Credit Losses (Topic 740)”326)
, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in an effort to improve the accounting for the income tax consequencesleases, loan commitments and standby letters of intra-equity transfers of assets other than inventory. Current GAAP prohibits thecredit. Upon initial recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been soldexposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to an outside party. This ASU establishesestimate the requirement that an entity recognizecredit losses expected over the income tax consequenceslife of an intra-entity transferexposure (or pool of an asset other than inventoryexposures). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics should be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the transfer occurs.estimate, so its application will require significant judgment. This ASU is effective for public companies for the financial statements issued for annual periodsin fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.years. The Company has not determinedis currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its financial position and/or results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issuedthis ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for public companies for the financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its statements of cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this standard on April 2, 2017. As a result of the adoption, the Company began recording the tax effects associated with stock-based compensation through the income statement on a prospective basis which resulted in a tax benefit of $3.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. Prior to adoption, these amounts would have been recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. This change may create volatility in the Company’s effective tax rate. The adoption of this standard also resulted in a cumulative effect change to opening retained earnings of $1.1 million for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits.

In addition, the Company will prospectively classify all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments, including the excess tax benefits related to the settlement of stock-based awards, as cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Prior to the adoption of this standard, these were shown as cash inflows from financing activities and cash outflows from operating activities.


The adoption of the ASU also resulted in the Company removing the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares when calculating diluted earnings per share on a prospective basis. The revised calculation increased the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding by approximately 0.1 million shares in the period of adoption. The Company also made an accounting policy election to continue to estimate forfeitures as it did prior to adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The core principal of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from a lease. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. This new accounting guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 under a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this adoption will have on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB

Other new pronouncements issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This update requires the company to measure inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This ASU applies to companies measuring inventory using methods other than the last-in, first-out (LIFO) and retail inventory methods, including but not limitedeffective until after March 28, 2020 are not expected to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average costing methods. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis on April 2, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedour financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenueposition, results of operations or liquidity.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract in the new revenue standard updatefor which work has not been performed or has been partially performed and excludes unexercised contract options. The duration of the majority of our contracts, as defined by ASC 606, is less than one year. The Company has elected to remove inconsistent practicesapply the practical expedient which allows companies to exclude remaining performance obligations with regardsan original expected duration of one year or less. Performance obligations having a duration of more than one year are concentrated in contracts for certain products and services provided to the U.S. government or its contractors. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately $242,309 at June 29, 2019. The Company expects to recognize revenue recognition between U.S. GAAPon approximately 68% and IFRS. 92% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
Contract Balances

5. Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.

11. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending before April 2, 2005. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years ending before March 29, 2014. A U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the year ended March 30, 2013 was effectively settled in fiscalApril 2, 2016.

The effective income tax rates for the three monththree-month periods ended DecemberJune 29, 2019 and June 30, 20172018, were 19.3% and December 31, 2016 were 23.9% and 31.5%, respectively. During the third quarter, Congress passed and the President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) of 2017 into law. The new law includes a number of changes in existing tax law impacting businesses including a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%17.4%. As a result, the blended statutory rate applied for the current fiscal year is 31.5%. As of December 30, 2017, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects associated with the TCJA. The impacts recorded, as detailed below, represent our estimate of the impact during the current fiscal year. In addition to discrete items, the effective income tax rates for these periods are different from the U.S. statutory rates due to a special U.S. manufacturing deduction, the foreign-derived intangible income provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities and foreign income taxed at lower rates which decrease the rate and state income taxes which increase the rate.

15
The effective income tax rate for the three monththree-month period ended December 30, 2017June 29, 2019 of 23.9% was impacted by one-time adjustments associated with the enactment19.3% includes $510 of the TCJA. Included in these adjustments was an estimated charge of $9,491 associated with the repatriation transition tax and an estimated benefit of $8,708 associated with the revaluation of our deferred tax liabilities. The TCJA also impacted the third quarter provision with a benefit from the lower blended statutory tax rate of 31.5%. The third quarter provision was also impacted by approximately $1,238 of benefit associated with the adoption of ASU 2016-09Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accountingand $45share-based compensation, along with $241 tax benefit of other discrete expense related to federal and statepermanent adjustments from filing the Company’s fiscal 2018 foreign tax filing positions.returns. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three monththree-month period ended December 30, 2017June 29, 2019 would have been 25.3%21.2%. The effective income tax rate for the three monththree-month period ended December 31, 2016June 30, 2018 of 31.5%17.4% includes immaterial discrete items of $56.$1,330 tax benefit associated with shared based compensation and $74 tax benefit for the release of unrecognized tax positions associated with statute of limitations expiration. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three monththree-month period ended December 31, 2016June 30, 2018 would have been 31.8%21.6%. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of its unrecognized tax positions may be effectively settled within the next twelve months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitations expiring in varying jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions, pertaining primarily to federal and state credits and state tax, is estimated to be approximately $531.

9. Integration and Restructuring of Operations

In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company reached a decision to restructure its manufacturing operation in Montreal, Canada. After completing its obligations, the Company expects to close its RBC Canada location and consolidate certain residual assets into other locations by the end of this fiscal year. As a result, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $5,577 associated with the restructuring in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 attributable to the Engineered Products segment. The $5,577 charge includes a $1,337 impairment of fixed assets and a $5,157 impairment of intangible assets offset by a $917 tax benefit. The impairment charges were recognized within the “Other, net” line item within the consolidated statement of operations. The Company determined that the market approach was the most appropriate method to estimate the fair value of the fixed assets using comparable sales data and actual quotes from potential buyers in the market place. The fixed assets are comprised of land, a building, machinery and equipment. The Company assessed the fair value of the intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360-10, which are comprised of customer relationships, product approvals, tradenames and trademarks. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $1,091 comprised primarily of employee termination costs. These costs were recorded within the “Other, net” line item within the consolidated statement of operations and are all attributable to the Engineered Products segment. The cumulative restructuring charges as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018, net of taxes, were $6,668. The total impact of this restructuring is expected to be between $7,000 and $7,500 in after-tax charges, all attributable to the Engineered Products segment, and is expected to conclude in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company reached a decision to integrate and restructure its industrial manufacturing operation in South Carolina. The Company exited a few smaller product offerings and consolidated two manufacturing facilities into one. These restructuring efforts will better align our manufacturing capacity and market focus. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $7,060 associated with the restructuring in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 attributable to the Roller Bearings segment. The $7,060 charge includes $3,215 of inventory rationalization costs, $261 in impairment of intangibles, $2,402 loss on fixed assets disposals, and $1,182 exit obligation associated with a building operating lease. The inventory rationalization costs were recorded in Cost of Sales in the income statement. All other costs were recorded under operating expenses in the “Other, net” category of the income statement. The pre-tax charge of $7,060 was offset with a tax benefit of approximately $2,222. The Company determined that the market approach was the most appropriate method to estimate the fair value for the inventory, intangible assets, equipment and building operating lease using comparable sales data and actual quotes from potential buyers in the market place.

Overview

We are a well-known international manufacturer and maker of highly engineered precision bearings and components. Our precision solutions are integral to the manufacture and operation of most machines and mechanical systems, reduce wear to moving parts, facilitate proper power transmission and reduce damage and energy loss caused by friction. While we manufacture products in all major bearings categories, we focus primarily on the higher end of the bearing and engineered component markets where we believe our value added manufacturing and engineering capabilities enable us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and enhance profitability. We believe our unique expertise has enabled us to garner leading positions in many of the product markets in which we primarily compete. With 4542 facilities, of which 3633 are manufacturing facilities in sixfive countries, we have been able to significantly broaden our end markets, products, customer base and geographic reach. We currently operate under four reportable business segments: Plain Bearings; Roller Bearings; Ball Bearings; and Engineered Products. The following further describes these reportable segments:

Plain Bearings.
Plain bearings are produced with either self-lubricating or metal-to-metal designs and consistconsists of several sub-classes, including rod end bearings, spherical plain bearings and journal bearings. Unlike ball bearings, which are used in high-speed rotational applications, plain bearings are primarily used to rectify inevitable misalignments in various mechanical components.

Roller Bearings.
Roller bearings are anti-friction bearings that use rollers instead of balls. We manufacture four basic types of roller bearings: heavy dutyheavy-duty needle roller bearings with inner rings, tapered roller bearings, track rollers and aircraft roller bearings.

Ball Bearings
. We manufacture four basic types of ball bearings: high precision aerospace, airframe control, thin section and commercial ball bearings which are used in high-speed rotational applications.

Engineered Products.
Engineered Products consists of highly engineered hydraulics, fasteners, collets and precision components used in aerospace, marine and industrial applications.

Purchasers of bearings and engineered products include industrial equipment and machinery manufacturers, producers of commercial and military aerospace equipment such as missiles and radar systems, agricultural machinery manufacturers, construction, energy, mining, marine and specialized equipment manufacturers, marine products, automotive and commercial truck manufacturers. The markets for our products are cyclical, and we have endeavored to mitigate this cyclicality by entering into sole-source relationships and long-term purchase agreements, through diversification across multiple market segments within the aerospace and defense and diversified industrial segments, by increasing sales to the aftermarket and by focusing on developing highly customized solutions.

Currently, our strategy is built around maintaining our role as a leading manufacturer of precision engineered bearings and components through the following efforts:

Developing innovative solutions
.
By leveraging our design and manufacturing expertise and our extensive customer relationships, we continue to develop new products for markets in which there are substantial growth opportunities.

19
Expanding customer base and penetrating end markets
.
We continually seek opportunities to access new customers, geographic locations and bearing platforms with existing products or profitable new product opportunities.

Increasing aftermarket sales.
We believe that increasing our aftermarket sales of replacement parts will further enhance the continuity and predictability of our revenues and enhance our profitability. Such sales includeincluded sales to third party distributors and sales to OEMs for replacement products and aftermarket services. We will increase the percentage of our revenues derived from the replacement market by continuing to implement several initiatives.

Pursuing selective acquisitions.
The acquisition of businesses that complement or expand our operations has been and continues to be an important element of our business strategy. We believe that there will continue to be consolidation within the industry that may present us with acquisition opportunities.

Outlook

Our net sales for the three monththree-month period ended December 30, 2017June 29, 2019 increased 13.8%3.8% compared to the same period last fiscal year. Our industrial markets increased 23.1% while theThe increase in net sales was a result of a 11.3% increase in our aerospace markets partially offset by a 7.2% decrease in the industrial markets. The increase in aerospace sales was primarily due to commercial and defense business, both OEM and aftermarket. The decrease in industrial sales was driven by decreases in the mining, semiconductor, energy, and general industrial markets. Excluding $4.5 million of sales associated with the Miami division sold in fiscal 2019, overall net sales increased 8.9%.6.5% year over year, driven by an increase of 16.3% in aerospace sales partially offset by a decrease of 7.2% in industrial sales.

Integration and Restructuring of Operations

In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company reached a decision to restructure its manufacturing operation in Montreal, Canada. After completing its obligations, the Company expects to close its RBC Canada location and consolidate certain residual assets into other locations by the end of this fiscal year. As a result, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $5.6 millionpositions associated with the restructuring in the second quarterstatute of fiscal 2018 attributable to the Engineered Products segment. The $5.6 million charge includes a $1.3 million impairment of fixed assets and a $5.2 million impairment of intangible assets offset by a $0.9 million tax benefit. The impairment charges were recognized within the “Other, net” line item within the consolidated statement of operations. The Company determined that the market approach was the most appropriate method to estimate the fair value of the fixed assets using comparable sales data and actual quotes from potential buyers in the market place. The fixed assets are comprised of land, a building, machinery and equipment. The Company assessed the fair value of the intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360-10, which are comprised of customer relationships, product approvals, tradenames and trademarks. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $1.1 million comprised primarily of employee termination costs. These costs were recorded within the “Other, net” line item within the consolidated statement of operations and are all attributable to the Engineered Products segment. The cumulative restructuring charges as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018, net of taxes, were $6.7 million. The total impact of this restructuring is expected to be between $7.0 million and $7.5 million in after-tax charges, all attributable to the Engineered Products segment, and is expected to conclude in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company anticipates a positive cash flow result of approximately $5.2 million from this transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business is capital intensive.capital-intensive. Our capital requirements include manufacturing equipment and materials. In addition, we have historically fueled our growth in part through acquisitions. We have historically met our working capital, capital expenditure requirements and acquisition funding needs through our net cash flows provided by operations, various debt arrangements and sale of equity to investors. We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the FacilitiesRevolver will provide adequate resources to fund internal and external growth initiatives for the foreseeable future.


Our ability to meet future working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements will depend on our future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors, particularly interest rates, cyclical changes in our end markets and prices for steel and our ability to pass through price increases on a timely basis, many of which are outside of our control. In addition, future acquisitions could have a significant impact on our liquidity position and our need for additional funds.

From time to time, we evaluate our existing facilities and operations and their strategic importance to us. If we determine that a given facility or operation does not have future strategic importance, we may sell, partially or completely, relocate production lines, consolidate or otherwise dispose of those operations. Although we believe our operations would not be materially impaired by such dispositions, relocations or consolidations, we could incur significant cash or non-cash charges in connection with them.

Liquidity

As of December 30, 2017,June 29, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $43.8$32.7 million of which approximately $40.5$26.0 million was cash held by our foreign operations. We expect that our undistributed foreign earnings will be re-invested indefinitely for working capital, internal growth and acquisitions for and by our foreign entities.

We may also make substantial additional capital expenditures in connection with acquisitions.

Obligations and Commitments

The contractual obligations presented in the table below represent our estimates of future payments under fixed contractual obligations and commitments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions and interest rates, as well as actions by third parties and other factors, may cause these estimates to change. Because these estimates are necessarily subjective, our actual payments in future periods are likely to vary from those presented in the table. The following table summarizes certain of our contractual obligations and principal and interest payments under our debt instruments and leases as of December 30, 2017:

Other Matters

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Revenue Recognition.See page 7 in Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our fiscal 20172019 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our fiscal 20172019 Form 10-K, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first ninethree months of fiscal 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

arrangements other than $3.9 million of outstanding standby letters of credit, all of which were under the Revolver.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, which arise during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rates.
We currently have variable rate debt outstanding under the credit agreement. We regularly evaluate the impact of interest rate changes on our net income and cash flow and take action to limit our exposure when appropriate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates.
Our Swiss operations utilize the Swiss franc as the functional currency, our French and German operations utilize the euro as the functional currency and our Polish operations utilize the Polish zloty as the functional currency. As a result, of our operations in Europe, we are exposed to risk associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar the Euro, the Swiss Franc, the Polish Zloty and the Canadian Dollar. Our Swiss operations utilize the Swiss Franc as the functional currency, our French and German operations utilize the Euro as the functional currency, our Polish operations utilize the Polish Zloty as the functional currency and our Canadian operations utilize the Canadian Dollar as the functional currency.these currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in earnings. Approximately 11%8% of our net sales were impacted by foreign currency fluctuations infor the first ninethree months of both fiscal 20182020 compared to approximately 10%9% of our net sales for the same period in fiscal 2017.2019. We expect that this proportion is likely to increase as we seek to increase our penetration of foreign markets, particularly within the aerospace and defense markets. Foreign currency transaction exposure arises primarily from the transfer of foreign currency from one subsidiary to another within the group, and to foreign currency denominated trade receivables. Unrealized currency translation gains and losses are recognized upon translation of the foreign subsidiaries’operations’ balance sheets to U.S. dollars. Because our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our earnings. We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of forward exchange contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates on certain third-party sales transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. Based on the accounting guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities, we record derivative financial instruments at fair value. For derivative financial instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on these hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, (“AOCI”), and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of December 30, 2017,June 29, 2019, we had no derivatives.


ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 30, 2017.June 29, 2019. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 30, 2017,June 29, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that information relating to our Company required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the nine monththree-month period ended December 30, 2017June 29, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
