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 and include wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiaries, as well as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2014 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 corrected 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 nine months ended March 31, 2013 have been corrected to conform to 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 March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 14.1% and (196.0)%, and was (328.3)% and 29.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The variations in the effective tax rates for the three month periods were primarily due to the negative impact associated with asset impairment charges that provided minimal tax benefits and the positive effects of the reversal of certain unrecognized tax benefits approximating $38.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a one-time tax benefit of $23.8 related to the extension of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on January 2, 2013, which extended retroactively Internal Revenue Code Section 954(c)(6) for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The variations in the effective tax rates for the nine month periods were primarily due to the negative impact associated with asset impairment charges that provided minimal tax benefits and the positive effect of the reversal of certain unrecognized tax benefits approximating $38.1 million associated with the settlement of tax audits in multiple foreign jurisdictions.

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 March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the gross amount of UTBs was $300.0 and $331.4, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the total amount of UTBs that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate is $269.1. As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the liability associated with UTBs, including accrued interest and penalties, was $146.9 and $189.6, respectively, which was 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 March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $(3.8) and $1.4, and during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $(1.4) and $4.3, respectively. The total gross accrued interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was $25.0 and $25.7, respectively. On the basis of the information available as of March 31, 2014, it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $12.9 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. See Note 13 for disclosures required by the adoption of this amendment for the periods ended March 31, 2014 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2014.
