Organization
The Company is a leading provider of electronic data storage solutions. Its principal products are hard disk drives, commonly referred to as disk drives, hard drives or HDDs. Hard disk drives are devices that store digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating disks with magnetic surfaces. Disk drives are used as the primary medium for storing electronic data. In addition to HDDs, we produce a broad range of electronic data storage products including solid state hybrid drives (“SSHD”) and solid state drives (“SSD”).
The Company's products are designed for enterprise servers and storage systems in mission critical and nearline applications; client compute applications, where its products are designed primarily for desktop and mobile computing; and client non-compute applications, where its products are designed for a wide variety of end user devices such as digital video recorders (“DVRs”), personal data backup systems, portable external storage systems and digital media systems.
The Company continues to make strategic investments in order to expand its storage solutions, enter new market adjacencies, and expand its technical expertise. As a result of recent acquisitions, the Company's product and solution portfolio for the enterprise data storage industry includes storage enclosures, integrated application platforms and high performance computing ("HPC") data storage solutions. The Company's storage subsystems supports a range of high-speed interconnect technologies to meet demanding cost and performance specifications. The Company's modular subsystem architecture allows it to support many segments within the networked storage market by enabling different specifications of storage subsystem designs to be created from a standard set of interlocking technology modules.
In addition to manufacturing and selling data storage products, the Company provides data storage services for small to medium-sized businesses, including online backup, data protection and recovery solutions.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Company reports in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2014, are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 7, 2014. The Company believes that the disclosures included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, when read in conjunction with its Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 27, 2014, and the notes thereto, are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended January 2, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period in the Company’s fiscal year ending July 3, 2015. The Company operates and reports financial results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The three and six months ended January 2, 2015 consisted of 13 weeks and 27 weeks, respectively. The three and six months ended December 27, 2013 consisted of 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively.  Fiscal year 2015 will be comprised of 53 weeks and will end on July 3, 2015. The fiscal quarters ended January 2, 2015, October 3, 2014, and December 27, 2013, are also referred to herein as the “December 2014 quarter”, the “September 2014 quarter”, and the “December 2013 quarter”, respectively.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Please refer to Note 1 of “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” contained in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2014, as filed with the SEC on August 7, 2014 for a discussion of the Company’s other significant accounting policies.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 
In May 2014, The FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (ASC Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. It also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information that enable financial statements users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The ASU will be effective for the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
