The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of Roper Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Roper" or the "Company") for all periods presented. The December 31, 2015 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report") filed on February 26, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

In the first quarter of 2016, Roper early adopted the provisions of an accounting standards update ("ASU") which affected the accounting for share-based payment awards.  The provisions changed the reporting of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies so that they are now reported in the income statement instead of additional paid-in capital, and the related cash flows are classified as operating activities as compared to the previous classification of financing activities. See Note 2 for additional information regarding the ASU.
 
Roper's management has made estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. You should read these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with Roper's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report.
