2.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial data at January 26, 2013 and for the three and six month periods then ended and for the comparable three and six months then ended January 28, 2012 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position of Sycamore as of January 26, 2013 and July 31, 2012 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods ended January 26, 2013 and January 28, 2012. The results of operations and cash flows for the period ended January 26, 2013 should not be considered indicative of the operating results and cash flows for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

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 that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these financial statements include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty obligations, inventory allowance, litigation, other contingencies and share-based compensation. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are reviewed periodically by management and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which they are made.

As discussed in Note 1, on March 4, 2013, the Company announced that it intends to file the Certificate of Dissolution on March 7, 2013. Upon filing of the Certificate of Dissolution, we expect to change our basis of accounting from a going-concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, to a liquidation basis. Under a liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts. Recorded liabilities will include the estimates of expected costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Dissolution.

On October 11, 2012, the Company paid a special cash distribution to its stockholders of $10.00 per share of Common Stock, or $288.8 million in the aggregate. On November 12, 2012, the Company paid a special cash distribution to its stockholders of $2.00 per share of Common Stock, or $57.8 million in the aggregate. On December 20, 2012, the Company paid a special cash distribution to its stockholders of $0.50 per share of Common Stock, or approximately $14.4 million in the aggregate. As a result of having an accumulated deficit, the special cash distributions were recorded as reductions to additional paid-in capital.
