The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2014 and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, statements of comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and changes in shareholders' equity for the six month period ended June 30, 2014.  The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The results for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Systemax manages its business and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends at midnight on the Saturday closest to December 31.  For clarity of presentation herein, fiscal years and quarters are referred to as if they ended on the traditional calendar month.  The actual fiscal second quarter ended on June 28, 2014.  The second quarters of both 2014 and 2013 included 13 weeks and the first six months of both 2014 and 2013 included 26 weeks.
