For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but will be updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December&#160;15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance by providing an entity with an additional and optional transition method to adopt the new lease guidance. The modified retrospective transition approach requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented and the optional transition method permits an entity to apply the guidance at the adoption date. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and the Company will adopt the guidance as of the first day of the first quarter of fiscal 2019. While the Company is still evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company, the Company currently expects that most of its operating leases will be subject to the updated guidance and that this guidance will have a material impact of approximately $140,000 to $180,000 on its consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right of use assets and related obligations. The Company does not expect the adoption of the updated guidance to have a material effect on the consolidated statements of net income or the consolidated statements of cash flows.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-size:10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, the impairment analysis for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, share-based compensation, income taxes, tax contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. </p>
