(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed ? If answer is no, identify report(s).    ☒  Yes    ☐  No

 

 

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    ☒  Yes    ☐  No

 

     If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Please see the Company’s press release dated March 12, 2018 furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2018 for a comparison of the Company’s results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2017 to the Company’s results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2016, which reflected a significant change in results of operations. After furnishing the press release, the Company determined that its estimation of the provisional amount of the income tax impact related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 may need revision. Accordingly, the Company is not in a position at this point to provide a more specific estimate of anticipated significant changes in results of operations.

The statements included in this Form 12b-25 regarding our expected results of operations, expected filing date of the Form 10-K and other statements that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include the results and finalization of the Company’s financial statements, audit and reviews and those described under risk factors in our most recent Form 10-K and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
