NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Endo International plc, which we refer to herein as the "Company", "Endo", "we", "our" or "us", have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Endo and its subsidiaries, which are unaudited, include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2014 and the results of our operations and our cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited financial statements.

In prior periods, our consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Endo Health Solutions Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (EHSI). Endo International plc was incorporated in Ireland on October 31, 2013 as a private limited company and re-registered effective February 18, 2014 as a public limited company. It was established for the purpose of facilitating the business combination between EHSI and Paladin Labs Inc. (Paladin). On February 28, 2014, we became the successor registrant of EHSI and Paladin in connection with the consummation of certain transactions further described elsewhere in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, on February 28, 2014, the shares of Endo International plc began trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol "ENDP," the same symbol under which EHSI’s shares previously traded, and on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "ENL". References throughout to "ordinary shares" refer to EHSI’s common shares, 350,000,000 authorized, par value $0.01 per share, prior to the consummation of the transactions and to Endo International plc's ordinary shares, 1,000,000,000 authorized, par value $0.0001 per share, subsequent to the consummation of the transactions. In addition, on February 11, 2014 the Company issued 4,000,000 euro deferred shares of $0.01 each at par.

References throughout to "we," "our," "us," the "Company" or "Endo" refer to financial information and transactions of Endo Health Solutions Inc. prior to February 28, 2014 and Endo International plc thereafter.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
