Note A—Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
 
We prepared the accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the instructions for Form
10
-Q and Article 
10
of Regulation S-
X.
Accordingly, they do
not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. We believe these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the
three
and
six
-month periods ended
March 28, 2020
, are
not
necessarily indicative of the results that
may
be expected for our fiscal year ending
October 3, 2020.
Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles reflects some seasonality, with sales in our
June
quarter generally being the highest and sales in our
December
quarter generally being the lowest. The COVID-
19
pandemic is occurring during the seasonally strongest months of the business. As such, the historic seasonality
may
not
be indicative of future results. For more information regarding our results of operations and financial position, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form
10
-K for our fiscal year ended
September 28, 2019
, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
