The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of IRIDEX Corporation (“IRIDEX”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 27, 2014. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending January 3, 2015 or any future interim period. The three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, each had 13 and 39 weeks, respectively. For purposes of reporting the financial results, the Company’s fiscal years end on the Saturday closest to the end of December. The year ended December 28, 2013 is referred to as fiscal year 2013 or fiscal 2013, whereas the current fiscal year 2014 or fiscal 2014 will end on January 3, 2015.
