2. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Estimates

        The following financial statements included in this report are unaudited: the condensed consolidated income statements for the fiscal quarters and year to date periods ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal quarters and year to date periods ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 2013, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal year to date periods ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, and the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for the fiscal year to date period ended June 29, 2013. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of CRA's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2012 included in this report was derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed on March 8, 2013.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounts receivable allowances, revenue recognition on fixed price contracts, depreciation of property and equipment, share-based compensation, valuation of acquired intangible assets, impairment of long lived assets, goodwill, accrued and deferred income taxes, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, accrued compensation, accrued exit costs, and other accrued expenses. These items are monitored and analyzed by the Company for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. CRA bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that CRA believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates if CRA's assumptions based on past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

        The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal year to date period ended June 30, 2012 has been adjusted to properly present the non-cash component related to the Company's change in accounts receivable. This amount was previously presented on a net basis. This revision is not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
