1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the company, without audit, with the exception of the July 2, 2011 consolidated balance sheet which was taken from the audited financial statements included in the company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 8, 2011, which recasts the financial statements contained in the company's Fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements include consolidated balance sheets, consolidated results of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.

Prior year amounts within the consolidated results of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as it relates to the classification of certain items in cost of sales and operating expenses within these statements.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 8, 2011. As discussed in footnote 13, Sysco's management changed the way it evaluates the performance of its operating segment results beginning in fiscal 2012. As a result, fiscal 2011 information within Note 13, Note 14 and Note 15 has been revised to show the new basis of operating segment results.

A review of the financial information herein has been made by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, in accordance with established professional standards and procedures for such a review. A report from Ernst & Young LLP concerning their review is included as Exhibit 15.1 to this Form 10-Q.
