1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (the Company) Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 1, 2012, the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the first quarter ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the first quarter ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the first quarter ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The accounting policies followed by the Company are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year ending on December 31st.  Any quarterly data contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q generally reflect the results of operations for a 13-week period.

Certain amounts in the 2011 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to permit comparison with the 2012 presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on reported results of operations or stockholders’ equity.
