Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in money market funds or savings accounts of major financial institutions. Accordingly, its cash equivalents are subject to minimal
credit and market risk. At January 2, 2010 and December 27, 2008, cash equivalents were comprised of money market and savings account funds totaling $63.1 million and $39.5 million, respectively. These cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
