Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “our,” “Company” or “Cosi” refer to Cosi, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The results for the three and six-month periods ended July 1, 2013 and July 2, 2012 are not indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

Certain amounts in the December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity, as well as the July 2, 2012 consolidated statement of operations have been reclassified to conform to the July 1, 2013 presentation as a result of the reverse stock split that the Company filed on May 8, 2013.

This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
