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 nine-month periods ended June 27, 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 occurred during the seasonally strongest months of the business. As such, the historic seasonality may not be indicative of future results. In addition, during the June quarter of fiscal year 2020, we incurred approximately $23.1 million of non-recurring expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited 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”).
