1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements, consisting of the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In addition, the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes typically found in the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as amended of Polycom, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s December 31, 2015 audited financial statements and all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as amended for the year ended December 31, 2015.

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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
