General	General The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim financial statements”) of Mylan Inc. and subsidiaries (“Mylan” or the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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. The interim financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the interim results of operations, comprehensive earnings, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as updated by the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 28, 2013. The December 31, 2012 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The interim results of operations, comprehensive earnings and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period. The Company computed its provision for income taxes using an estimated effective tax rate for the full year with consideration of certain discrete tax items which occurred within the interim period. The estimated annual effective tax rate for 2013 includes an estimate of the full-year effect of foreign tax credits that the Company anticipates it will claim against its 2013 U.S. tax liabilities. Certain insignificant prior period amounts of other revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses have been reclassified to other (expense) income, net to conform to the presentation for the current period. The reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported net earnings attributable to Mylan Inc. common shareholders. In addition, certain insignificant prior period amounts have been reclassified from net cash provided by operating activities to net cash used in investing activities.
