Basis Of Presentation And Principles Of Consolidation

NOTE 1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the requirements of Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01 for financial statements required to be filed as a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "IDEXX," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us" refer to IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. and our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. We do not have any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a recurring nature. The consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Reclassifications and Revisions

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Reclassifications had no material impact on previously reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Revisions were made on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to correctly reflect non-cash investing activities embedded in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and inventory on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013. These revisions increased the operating cash flows related to the change in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and inventory for the three months ended March 31, 2013 by $0.4 million from the amounts previously reported, and decreased investing cash flows related to purchases of property and equipment by the same amount. The revisions to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows noted above represent an error that is not deemed to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the prior period  condensed consolidated financial statements.
