The Company sells its products worldwide through its retail stores, online stores, and direct sales force, as well as third-party cellular network carriers, wholesalers, resellers and value-added resellers. In addition, the Company sells a variety of third-party iPhone, iPad, Macintosh (&#x201C;Mac&#x201D;), and iPod compatible products including application software, printers, storage devices, speakers, headphones, and various other accessories and supplies through its online and retail stores.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (&#x201C;GAAP&#x201D;) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current period&#x2019;s presentation.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align="justify"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company&#x2019;s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September&#xA0;25, 2010, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the &#x201C;2010 Form 10-K&#x201D;). Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years or quarters refer to the Company&#x2019;s fiscal years ended in September and the associated quarters of those fiscal years.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align="justify"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">During the first quarter of 2011, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board&#x2019;s (&#x201C;FASB&#x201D;) new accounting standard&#xA0;on consolidation of variable interest entities.&#xA0;This new accounting standard eliminates the mandatory quantitative approach in determining control for&#xA0;evaluating whether variable interest entities need to be consolidated&#xA0;in favor of a qualitative analysis, and requires an ongoing reassessment&#xA0;of control over such entities. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not impact the Company&#x2019;s condensed consolidated financial statements.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><b>Earnings Per Common Share</b></font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align="justify"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding options, shares to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan, and unvested restricted stock units (&#x201C;RSUs&#x201D;). The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company&#x2019;s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px;
