[1] We establish actual interim closing dates using a fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the first calendar quarter, with the second and third quarters being 91 days in length. Our fourth quarter ends on December 31. The interim closing dates for the first, second and third quarters of 2015 are March 28, June 27 and September 26, compared to the respective March 29, June 28 and September 27, 2014 dates. This practice only affects the quarterly reporting periods and not the annual reporting period. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2015 and we had one more day in the fourth quarter of 2015 than in the respective 2014 periods.

The earnings per share impact of the above mentioned items for the same periods was a decrease of $0.06, $0.01, $0.01, and $0.04, respectively, for both basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, as well as both total basic and diluted earnings per share.
