The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The Fresh Market, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2015. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or future interim periods. |
In certain instances, there are changes in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. |
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated and all intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. |
The Company reports its results of operations on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in January. Each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks, with an additional week included in the fourth quarter for a 53-week fiscal year. The current fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 is a 53-week fiscal year and the fiscal year ended January 25, 2015 was a 52-week fiscal year. |
The Company has determined that it has only one reportable segment. The Company’s revenues come from the sale of items at its specialty food stores. The Company’s primary focus is on perishable food categories, which include meat, seafood, produce, deli, bakery, floral, sushi and prepared foods. Non-perishable categories consist of traditional grocery, frozen and dairy products as well as bulk, coffee, candy, and beer and wine. The following is a summary of the percentage for the sales of perishable and non-perishable items: |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-05 (Subtopic 350-40), Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU No. 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. It is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, for public companies. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of the effective date of the ASU to December 15, 2017, with an option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Early adoption prior to the original effective date is not permitted. The standards may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and enhances the related disclosure requirements. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company adopted this guidance during the thirteen weeks ended April 26, 2015, resulting in no significant impact to its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
