BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PAREXEL International Corporation (“PAREXEL,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations as of March 31, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other quarters or the entire fiscal year. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (the “2012 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2012.

We reclassified $10.4 million of non-current deferred tax assets to current deferred tax assets for the period ended June 30, 2012. This change had no impact on total deferred tax assets. We also reclassified $3.2 million of deferred financing costs from other assets to long-term debt, net of current portion for the period ended June 30, 2012 as a contra-debt balance. We evaluated the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these adjustments and determined the corrections were not material. These reclassifications had no impact on our results of operations or statement of cash flow for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 requires a company to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable readers of its financial statements to understand the effects of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2013. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2013-01 was issued to limit the scope of ASU 2011-11 to derivatives (including bifurcated embedded derivatives), repurchase and reverse repurchase arrangements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions. The disclosures are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities should provide the disclosures required by this ASU retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” ASU 2012-02 amends Topic 350 to allow a company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. A company is not required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than the carrying value. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2013-02 requires reporting and disclosure about changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) balances and reclassifications out of AOCI. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU 2013-05 addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
