2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation


The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.


During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company changed the presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to present the proceeds and repayments related to certain short-term borrowings on a gross basis. Amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended September 30, 2012 have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the period reported. Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, the market value of inventory, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, the fair value of share-based compensation, pension and other post-employment benefit costs, the fair value of our reporting units, and the assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment, income taxes, derivatives and redeemable noncontrolling interests when calculating the impact on Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates and assumptions resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.


Tax Information


The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is 31.1% and 36.5%, respectively. The difference in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on January 2, 2013, which extended retroactively certain international provisions that had expired. As a result, Internal Revenue Code Section 954(c)(6) was extended. The extension was applicable for the three months ended September 30, 2013 resulting in a lower effective tax rate compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.


The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of (i) jurisdictions with different statutory rates (ii) adjustments to the Company’s unrealized tax benefits (“UTBs”) and accrued interest, (iii) non-deductible expenses and (iv) valuation allowance changes.


As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the gross amount of UTBs, inclusive of interest and penalties, is $341.4 and $331.4, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the total amount of UTBs that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rates is $311.7. As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the liability associated with UTBs, including accrued interest and penalties, is $198.1 and $189.6, respectively, which is recorded in Income and other taxes payable and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to UTBs during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is $1.6 and $1.8, respectively. The total gross accrued interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 is $27.7 and $25.7, respectively. On the basis of the information available as of September 30, 2013, it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $8.5 in UTBs may occur within 12 months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and a potential lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2011, the FASB enhanced its disclosure requirements regarding offsetting assets and liabilities as a joint effort with the International Accounting Standards Board. This amendment increases the comparability of the balance sheet prepared under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) by enhancing disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the balance sheet or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the balance sheet. Entities are required to provide both net and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to enhance comparability between GAAP financial statements and IFRS financial statements. This pronouncement was later amended to limit the scope of the disclosure to derivatives within the balance sheet. This amendment was adopted during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. There were no additional disclosures required in connection with the adoption of this amendment, as the gross values of offsetting assets and liabilities are not material as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013.


In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires entities to disclose information about significant items reclassified, in their entirety, out of Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) either in the statement where net income is disclosed or in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance was adopted for fiscal 2014. There were no additional disclosures required in connection with the adoption of this guidance, as there were no significant items reclassified in their entirety out of AOCI during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
