Other Assets

At January 2, 2016, other assets consisted of six investments totaling $9.4 million. At December 27, 2014, other assets consisted of three investments totaling $10.8 million. At January 2, 2016, these investments consisted primarily of cost method investments and notes receivable. The Company regularly monitors these investments to determine if facts and circumstances have changed in a manner that would require a change in accounting methodology. Additionally, the Company regularly evaluates whether or not these investments have been impaired by considering such factors as economic environment, market conditions, operational performance and other specific factors relating to the businesses underlying the investments. If any such impairment is identified, a reduction in the carrying value of the investments would be recorded at that time. Since the Company believes the fair value of its investments is greater than the carrying value of its investments, it has not impaired these investments.
