TUPPERWARE BRANDS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Note 1:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tupperware Brands Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively “Tupperware” or the “Company”, with all intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited 2013 financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared following the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the Company's opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the statement of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Venezuela Foreign Currency Translation: In June 2010, several large Venezuelan commercial banks began operating the Transaction System for Foreign Currency Denominated Securities (SITME), which established a "banded" exchange rate of 5.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. In February 2013, the Venezuelan government set a new official exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar ("Official Rate") and abolished the banded exchange rate. In March 2013, the Venezuelan government created the Complimentary System of Foreign Currency Acquirement ("SICAD 1"). SICAD 1 is an auction system and allows entities in specific sectors to bid for U.S. dollars. In late March 2014, the Company was invited to participate, for the first time, in the SICAD 1 auction process at a rate of 10.8 bolivars to the U.S. dollar ("SICAD 1 Rate"). The Company did not exchange money through the SICAD 1 mechanism in the first quarter of 2014, though it did exchange currency at the Official Rate. As a result, the Company continued to use the Official Rate to measure its operating activity during the first quarter of 2014. Since the Company anticipates making future currency exchanges under the SICAD 1 Rate and does not expect the Official Rate to be widely available in the future, the Company used the SICAD 1 Rate to remeasure the balance sheet at the end of the first quarter. The negative impact of this devaluation from the net monetary assets on the balance sheet at the end of the first quarter was $13.4 million pretax and was recorded in Other Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
As of March 29, 2014, the Company had approximately $21 million of net monetary assets in Venezuela, which were of a nature that would generate income or expense associated with future exchange rate fluctuations versus the U.S. dollar. As of March 29, 2014, there was also $15 million of inventory on the balance sheet in Venezuela, which when it is sold will be included in cost of sales at the dollar value at which it was originally recorded. In addition, the Company had $3 million in net deferred tax assets that will impact the income tax provision at the dollar value it was originally recorded.

Note 2:
Shipping and Handling Costs
The cost of products sold line item includes costs related to the purchase and manufacture of goods sold by the Company. Among these costs are inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, depreciation expense, internal transfer costs and warehousing costs of raw material, work in process and packing materials. The warehousing and distribution costs of finished goods are included in delivery, sales and administrative expense (“DS&A”). Distribution costs are comprised of outbound freight and associated labor costs. Fees billed to customers associated with the distribution of products are classified as revenue. The distribution costs included in DS&A expense for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013 were $38.7 million and $38.0 million, respectively.
Note 3:
Promotional Costs
The Company frequently makes promotional offers to members of its independent sales force to encourage them to fulfill specific goals or targets for sales levels, party attendance, recruiting of new sales force members or other business-critical functions. The awards offered are in the form of cash, product awards, special prizes or trips.
The Company accrues for the costs of these awards during the period over which the sales force qualifies for the award and reports these costs primarily as a component of DS&A expense. These accruals require estimates as to the cost of the awards, based upon estimates of achievement and actual cost to be incurred. During the qualification period, actual results are monitored, and changes to the original estimates are made when known. Promotional and other sales force compensation expenses included in DS&A expense totaled $113.8 million and $115.3 million for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2014, pretax amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss that related to cash flow hedges consisted of $1.7 million of net gains. The tax provision associated with these items was $0.4 million. There were no such amounts reclassified in the first quarter of 2013. See Note 10 for further discussion of derivatives.
In the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, pretax amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to pension and other post-retirement items. They consisted of prior service benefits of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and actuarial losses of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The tax benefit associated with these items was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. See Note 12 for further discussion of pension and other post-retirement benefit costs.
Note 7:
Re-engineering and Other Exit Costs
The Company recorded $2.3 million and $2.2 million in re-engineering and impairment charges during the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. In both years, these charges were primarily related to severance costs incurred for headcount reductions in several of the Company’s operations in connection with changes in its management and organizational structures, and in 2014, the decision to cease operating its Armand Dupree business in the United States.

The accrual balance as of March 29, 2014, related primarily to severance payments to be made by the end of the second quarter of 2014. In connection with the decision to cease operating the Armand Dupree business in the United States, the Company recorded $1.6 million in cost of sales for inventory obsolescence.
Note 8:
Segment Information
The Company manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of products, primarily through independent direct sales consultants. Certain operating segments have been aggregated based upon consistency of economic substance, geography, products, production process, class of customers and distribution method.
Effective with the first quarter of 2014, the management structure of the Company’s Nutrimetics France business was re-aligned for operational and strategic purposes. Consequently, Nutrimetics France is now being reported in the Asia Pacific segment, whereas it had previously been reported in the Europe segment. Comparable information from 2013 has been reclassified to conform to the new presentation. In full year 2013, Nutrimetics France generated less than 1 percent of total sales.
The Company's reportable segments include the following:
Europe
Primarily design-centric preparation, storage and serving solutions for the kitchen and home through the Tupperware® brand. Europe also includes Avroy Shlain® which sells beauty and personal care products. Asia Pacific also sells beauty and personal care products in some of its units under the NaturCare®, Nutrimetics® and Fuller® brands.
Asia Pacific
Tupperware North America
Beauty North America
Premium cosmetics, skin care and personal care products marketed under the BeautiControl® brand in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico and the Armand Dupree® and Fuller Cosmetics® brands in Mexico and Central America.
South America
Both housewares and beauty products under the Armand Dupree®, Fuller®, Nutrimetics®, Nuvo® and Tupperware® brands.
Worldwide sales of beauty and personal care products totaled $127.7 million and $144.8 million in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 9:
Debt
Senior Notes
On June 2, 2011, the Company completed the sale of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due June 1, 2021 at an issue price of 98.989% under an indenture, dated as of June 2, 2011 (the "Indenture"), entered into by the Company and its 100% subsidiary, Dart Industries Inc. (the “Guarantor”).
On March 11, 2013, the Company issued and sold an additional $200 million in aggregate principal amount of these notes (both issuances together, the "Senior Notes") at an issue price of 103.781% in a registered public offering. The Senior Notes form a single series under the Indenture. The March 2013 proceeds were used to repay a 90-day $75 million promissory note entered into on February 1, 2013, as well as a portion of outstanding borrowings under the Company's multicurrency credit agreement in place at that time. The remaining net proceeds were used to fund share repurchases in 2013 under the Company's common stock repurchase authorization. As a result of the 2013 issuance, the Company recorded a premium of $7.6 million to be amortized over the life of the Senior Notes. The Company also incurred $1.5 million in deferred financing costs, of which $1.3 million was netted with the bond premium on the statement of cash flows.
The Senior Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company, the Guarantor and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. As security for its obligations under the guarantee of the Senior Notes, the Guarantor has granted a security interest in certain "Tupperware" trademarks and service marks. The guarantee and the lien securing the guarantee may be released under certain customary circumstances specified in the Indenture. These customary circumstances include:
•payment in full of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes;
•satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture;
•upon legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Senior Notes as set forth in the Indenture;
•
as to any property or assets constituting Collateral owned by the Guarantor that is released from its Guarantee in accordance with the Indenture;
•
with the consent of the Holders of the requisite percentage of Senior Notes in accordance with the Indenture; and
•if the rating on the Senior Notes is changed to investment grade in accordance with the Indenture.
Credit Agreement
In September 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tupperware International Holdings B.V. (the “Subsidiary Borrower”), amended and restated the multicurrency Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with its consortium of lenders. The Credit Agreement replaced the credit facility dated June 2, 2011 (the “Old Credit Facility”) and, other than an increased amount that may be borrowed and a more favorable interest rate spread, has terms and conditions similar to that of the Old Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement makes available to the Company and the Subsidiary Borrower a committed five-year credit facility in an aggregate amount of $650 million (the “Facility Amount”). The Credit Agreement provides (i) a revolving credit facility, available up to the full amount of the Facility Amount, (ii) a letter of credit facility, available up to $50 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $100 million of the Facility Amount. Each of such facilities is fully available to the Company and is available to the Subsidiary Borrower up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $325 million. With the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase, on up to three occasions, the Facility Amount by a total of up to $200 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850 million), subject to certain conditions. As of March 29, 2014, the Company had total borrowings of $290.6 million outstanding under its Credit Agreement, with $110.2 million of that amount denominated in euro. The Company routinely increases its revolver borrowings under the Credit Agreement and uncommitted lines, as well as previously under the Old Credit Facility, during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash during each quarter than at the end of each quarter.

Loans made under the revolving credit facility bear interest under a formula that includes, at the Company's option, one of three different base rates. The Company generally selects the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") for the applicable currency and interest period as its base for its interest rate. As provided in the Credit Agreement, a margin is added to the base. The applicable margin is determined by reference to a pricing schedule based upon the ratio (the "Consolidated Leverage Ratio") of the consolidated funded indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries to the consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries for the four fiscal quarters then most recently ended. As of March 29, 2014, the Credit Agreement dictated a spread of 150 basis points, which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate on LIBOR based borrowings of 1.73 percent on borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, generally restrict the Company's ability to incur subsidiary indebtedness, create liens on and sell assets, engage in liquidation or dissolutions, engage in mergers or consolidations, or change lines of business. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. The Credit Agreement also has customary financial covenants related to interest coverage and leverage. These restrictions are not expected to impact the Company's operations. As of March 29, 2014, and currently, the Company had considerable cushion under its financial covenants.
The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees all obligations and liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrower relating to this Credit Agreement, as well as the Senior Notes, supported by a security interest in certain "Tupperware" trademarks and service marks.
In February 2014, the Company entered into a $75.0 million uncommitted line of credit with Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, one of the participating banks in the Company's Credit Agreement. This line of credit dictates an interest rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points. As of March 29, 2014, there was no amount outstanding under this uncommitted line of credit.
At March 29, 2014, the Company had $540.6 million of unused lines of credit, including $357.3 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $183.3 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world, including the uncommitted line of credit with Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank.
Note 10:
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of its international operations. Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company's local manufacturing in many markets, a strengthening U.S. dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company uses financial instruments to hedge certain of its exposures and to manage the foreign exchange impact to its financial statements. At its inception, a derivative financial instrument used for hedging is designated as a fair value, cash flow or net equity hedge.
Fair value hedges are entered into with financial instruments such as forward contracts, with the objective of limiting exposure to certain foreign exchange risks primarily associated with accounts payable and non-permanent intercompany transactions. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company excludes forward points, which are considered to be a component of interest expense. The forward points on fair value hedges resulted in pretax gains of $2.4 million and $2.0 million in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from certain forecasted purchases and classifies these as cash flow hedges. The Company's cash flow hedge contracts are for periods ranging from one to twelve months. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings as the transactions being hedged are recorded. As such, the balance at the end of the reporting period in other comprehensive income, related to cash flow hedges, will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. The associated asset or liability on the open hedges is recorded in other current assets or accrued liabilities, as applicable. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company excludes forward points, which are included as a component of interest expense. Forward points on cash flow hedges resulted in pretax losses of $1.3 million and $0.4 million in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company also uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge a portion of its net equity investment in international operations and classifies these as net equity hedges. Changes in the value of these derivative instruments, excluding any ineffective portion of the hedges, are included in foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive loss. In the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded, net of tax, net losses associated with these hedges of $3.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income. Due to the permanent nature of the investments, the Company does not anticipate reclassifying any portion of these amounts to the income statement in the next twelve months. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company excludes forward points, which are included as a component of interest expense. For the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, forward points on net equity hedges resulted in pretax losses of $3.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
While the Company's net equity and fair value hedges of non-permanent intercompany balances mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled, whereas the hedged items may not generate offsetting cash flows. The net cash flow impact of these currency hedges was an outflow of $4.7 million and an inflow of $3.9 million for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Following is a listing of the Company's outstanding derivative financial instruments at fair value as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013. Related to the forward contracts, the “buy” amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase foreign currencies, and the “sell” amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies, all translated at the period-end market exchange rates for the U.S. dollar. All forward contracts are hedging net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries, cross-currency intercompany loans that are not permanent in nature, cross-currency external payables and receivables or forecasted purchases. Some amounts are between two foreign currencies:

In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars, for example, an appreciating dollar versus the opposing currency would generate a cash inflow for the Company at settlement, with the opposite result in agreements to buy foreign currencies for U.S. dollars. The above noted notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company's outstanding currency exposures.

Fair Value Measurements
Due to their short maturities or their insignificance, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximated their fair values at March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013. The Company estimates that, based on current market conditions, the value of its 4.750% 2021 Senior Notes was $624 million at March 29, 2014, compared with the carrying value of $602.5 million. The higher fair value resulted from changes, since issuance, in the corporate bond market and investor preferences. The fair value of debt is classified as a Level 2 liability and is estimated using quoted market prices as provided in secondary markets which consider the Company's credit risk and market related conditions. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the Company's derivative instruments and related fair value measurements.

During the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of pretax expenses were reclassified from other comprehensive income to a component of net periodic benefit cost. As they relate to foreign plans, the Company uses current exchange rates to make these reclassifications. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is included on the net amortization line of the table above.
Note 13:
Income Taxes
As of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefit was $27.8 million and $27.4 million, respectively. The accrual for uncertain tax positions increased for positions being taken in various global tax filings. The Company estimates that approximately $25.2 million of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the Company's global operations are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties were $5.8 million and $5.9 million as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively.
The Company estimates that it may settle one or more foreign audits in the next twelve months that may result in a decrease in the amount of accrual for uncertain tax positions of up to $1.9 million. For the remaining balance as of March 29, 2014, the Company is not able to reliably estimate the timing or ultimate settlement amount. While the Company does not currently expect material changes, it is possible that the amount of unrecognized benefit with respect to the uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease related to audits in various foreign jurisdictions that may conclude during that period or new developments that could also, in turn, impact the Company's assessment relative to the establishment of valuation allowances against certain existing deferred tax assets. These valuation allowances relate to tax assets in jurisdictions where it is management's best estimate that there is not a greater than 50 percent probability that the benefit of the assets will be realized in the associated tax returns. The likelihood of realizing the benefit of deferred tax assets is assessed on an ongoing basis. This assessment requires estimates as to future operating results, as well as an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's tax planning strategies. At this time, the Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate of the range of impact on the balance of unrecognized tax benefits or the impact on the effective tax rate related to these items.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 26.2 percent, compared with 25.6 percent for the comparable 2013 period. The higher first quarter 2014 rate was due to higher 2014 losses incurred in conjunction with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, for which there was limited tax benefit. The effective tax rates are below the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to lower foreign effective tax rates.

Note 14:
Statement of Cash Flow Supplemental Disclosure
Under the Company's stock incentive programs, employees are allowed to use shares retained by the Company to satisfy minimum statutorily required withholding taxes. In the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, 86,872 and 46,659 shares, respectively, were retained to fund withholding taxes, with values totaling $6.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, which were included as a component of stock repurchases in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a joint venture with a real estate development partner. The Company contributed land to the joint venture in exchange for 50 percent ownership of the joint venture. The carrying value of the land was $3.1 million. The Company's ownership interest in the joint venture will be accounted for using the equity method and was included in long-term other assets on the March 29, 2014 balance sheet at the carrying value of the contributed land. The Company does not expect to have any cash inflows or outflows related to the joint venture until such time as the joint venture completes and sells its development.
There were no capital lease arrangements initiated in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013.
In relation to the issuance of the Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2013, the proceeds related to the $7.6 million debt premium were reduced by $1.3 million of non-cash debt issuance costs.
Note 15:
Stock Based Compensation
The Company records compensation expense using the applicable accounting guidance for share-based payments related to stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance vesting and market vesting awards granted to directors and employees. Compensation expense for share-based awards is recorded straight line over the required service period, based on the fair value of the award, although with respect to performance-vested awards, this is subject to an assessment of the likelihood of reaching performance levels included in the programs. The grant date fair value per share of market-vested awards already reflects the probability of achieving the market condition, and is therefore used to record expense regardless of actual achievement.
Stock Options
Stock options to purchase the Company's common stock are granted to employees and directors, upon approval by the Company's Board of Directors, with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Options generally become exercisable in three years, in equal installments beginning one year from the date of grant, and generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. Options to acquire 6,050 shares of stock were granted during the first quarter of 2013. There were no stock options granted in the first quarter of 2014. Compensation expense associated with all outstanding stock option awards was $0.4 million and $0.5 million in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Stock option activity for 2014, under all of the Company's incentive plans, is summarized in the following table:

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Vested and Market Vested Awards
The Company has time-vested, performance-vested and market-vested awards which typically have initial vesting periods ranging from one to six years. Compensation expense associated with restricted stock and restricted stock units is equal to the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and for time-vested awards, is recorded straight-line over the required service period. For performance-vested awards, expense is recorded over the required service period, subject to a probability assessment of achieving the performance criteria. The grant date fair value per share of market-vested awards already reflects the probability of achieving the market condition, and is therefore used to record expense regardless of actual achievement.
The Company granted 49,410 and 64,725 performance-vested award shares under its performance share program in March 2014 and February 2013, respectively. The Company's performance-vested awards provide incentive opportunity based on the overall success of the Company over a three year performance period, as reflected through a measure of diluted earnings per share in 2014 and 2013 and also cash flows with respect to the 2013 award.
In March 2014, the Company also granted 16,470 market-vested award shares. These awards provide incentive opportunity based on the relative total shareholder return ("rTSR") of the Company's common stock against a group of companies composed of the S&P 400 Mid-cap Consumer Discretionary index and the Company's 2014 Compensation Peer Group (collectively, the "Comparative Group") over a three year period. As the rTSR grant has a market condition, the fair value per share of $70.85 was determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation. The Monte-Carlo simulation estimated the fair value based on the Company's share price activity between the beginning of the year and the grant date relative to the Comparative Group, expected term of the award, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends, and the expected volatility of the Company and the Comparative Group. There were no awards granted of this type in 2013.
The incentive program for the performance and market-vested awards are based upon a pre-defined number of share units. The actual number of performance and market-vested shares ultimately earned can vary from zero to 150 percent of target depending on the Company's achievement under the terms of the grants. The payouts, if earned, will be settled in Tupperware common stock after the end of the three year performance period.
In the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, the Company granted 4,000 and 36,180 shares of time-vested restricted stock units with average fair values of $92.97 and $78.74 per share, respectively, that vest three years from the date of grant. In addition, the Company granted 50,000 shares of restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $77.66 per share which will cliff vest on December 29, 2017.
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company granted 1,300 shares of time-vested restricted stock units with an average fair value $77.52 per share that provide for vesting three years from the date of grant. No such shares were granted during the first quarter of 2014.
For the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, compensation expense associated with all employee and director restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards outstanding, including performance and market-vested shares, was $4.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
Restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-vested and market-vested share award activity for 2014 under all of the Company's incentive plans is summarized in the following table:

Note 17:
Guarantor Information
The Company's payment obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, by the Guarantor. The guarantee is secured by certain "Tupperware" trademarks and service marks owned by the Guarantor, as discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Condensed consolidated financial information as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013 and for the quarterly periods ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 for Tupperware Brands Corporation (the "Parent"), Dart Industries Inc. (the "Guarantor") and all other subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantors") is as follows.
Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent and Guarantor of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries that are eliminated upon consolidation. The Guarantor is 100% owned by the Parent, and there are certain entities within the Non-Guarantors classification which the Parent owns directly. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of either the Parent or the Guarantor from obtaining adequate funds from their respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan that should interfere with their ability to meet their operating needs or debt repayment obligations.
In November 2013, the Company determined that it had misclassified certain intercompany transactions previously reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for each period included in Note 18, Guarantor Information, in the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the first two quarters of 2013. These transactions primarily represented intercompany loans and borrowings between the Parent, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor that were classified as operating activities. Depending on whether it was from the perspective of the Parent, Guarantor or Non-Guarantor, the cash flows related to these transactions should have been classified as either investing or financing activities. These misclassifications do not change the total cash flows reported in each column presented in Note 18 in the Company's 2012 Annual Report and the first two quarters of 2013. There was no impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company assessed the materiality of these items on its previously issued annual report and quarterly financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, and concluded that the errors were not material to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. As such, the Company is revising the statements of cash flows included in the guarantor financial information of future filings in which the revised information is being presented, to reflect the required classification adjustments in the respective periods. The statements of cash flow presented below for the period ended March 30, 2013, as revised, reflect the correct classification of intercompany transactions as investing and financing activities.
