As discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on February 27, 2015 (the “EPD Transaction Closing Date”), Mylan N.V. completed the transaction (the “EPD Transaction”) by which it acquired Mylan Inc. and Abbott Laboratories’ (“Abbott”) non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business (the “EPD Business”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Business Transfer Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2014, by and among Mylan Inc., New Moon B.V. (which converted into a public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) and was renamed Mylan N.V. on the EPD Transaction Closing Date), Moon of PA Inc., and Abbott (the “EPD Transaction Agreement”) on the EPD Transaction Closing Date, Mylan N.V. acquired the EPD Business in consideration for Mylan N.V. ordinary shares, Moon of PA Inc. merged with and into Mylan Inc., with Mylan Inc. surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Mylan N.V. and each share of Mylan Inc. common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the EPD Transaction Closing Date was canceled and automatically converted into, and became the right to receive, one Mylan N.V. ordinary share. In connection with the EPD Transaction, Mylan Inc. and the EPD Business were reorganized under Mylan N.V., a new public company organized in the Netherlands. On February 18, 2015, the Office of Chief Counsel of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a no-action letter to Mylan Inc. and Mylan N.V. that included its views that the EPD Transaction constituted a “succession” for purposes of Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that Mylan N.V., as successor to Mylan Inc., is deemed a large accelerated filer for purposes of Exchange Act Rule 12b-2. As of March 2, 2015, Mylan N.V., and not Mylan Inc., traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market under the symbol “MYL.”

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim financial statements”) of Mylan N.V. and subsidiaries (“Mylan” or the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for reporting on Form 10-Q; therefore, as permitted under these rules, certain footnotes and other financial information included in audited financial statements were condensed or omitted.

For periods prior to the EPD Transaction, the Company’s consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Mylan Inc.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in Mylan Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended on April 30, 2015 and as updated by the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 11, 2015.

The interim results of operations and comprehensive earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period.
