The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results for the first three months of fiscal 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Modine's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013.

Out of period adjustment: During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company identified an error related to certain commodity hedges that should have been deemed ineffective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, which overstated pre-tax earnings by $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This amount was not considered material to the financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

New accounting pronouncement: In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires entities to present reclassifications by component when reporting changes in accumulated other comprehensive income.
