Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation	3. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRA and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, the condensed consolidated financial statements include CRA's interest in NeuCo, Inc. ("NeuCo"). All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated. CRA's ownership interest in NeuCo was 55.89% for all periods presented. NeuCo's financial results have been consolidated with CRA's, and the portion of NeuCo's results allocable to its other owners is shown as "noncontrolling interest." Additionally, a member of CRA's board of directors holds a greater than 5% interest in NeuCo as of April 2, 2016. NeuCo's interim reporting schedule is based on calendar month-ends, but its fiscal year end is the last Saturday of November. CRA's quarterly results could include a few days reporting lag between CRA's quarter end and the most recent financial statements available from NeuCo. CRA does not believe that the reporting lag will have a significant impact on CRA's consolidated income statements or financial condition. On January 8, 2015, NeuCo entered into an agreement to settle a note payable of approximately $981,000 in exchange for aggregate payments of $375,000. NeuCo recorded a gain on the extinguishment of this debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 of approximately $606,000. Under the settlement order, the scheduled payments were made as follows: $150,000 on January 8, 2015 and $150,000 on February 28, 2015. The final payment of $75,000 was paid on February 16, 2016.
