1. Basis of Presentation

Adept (“Adept” or the “Company”) is a global, robotics-based automation supplier of industrial (fixed) and mobile robots to enable customers to improve speed, quality and efficiency of their production environments. The Company operates in two segments: Robotics and Services and Support. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the Financial Statements included in Items 7 and 8, respectively, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 20, 2013. As of the end of fiscal year 2014, the Company will no longer retain smaller reporting company status. As a result, the Company will be subject to accelerated reporting deadlines and auditors’ report on internal controls for its Form 10-K for fiscal 2014.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The June 30, 2013, condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 29, 2014, and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013. The interim results for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2014, or for any other future annual or interim period.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The primary estimates underlying the Company’s financial statements include revenue recognition, product warranty, inventory valuation, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, assumptions used in the fair value of the Company’s equity awards, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the nine months ended March 29, 2014, as compared to the critical accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

The Company does not believe that the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
