Basis Of Presentation And Consolidation

(1)Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

As used herein, the terms “Company,” “Landauer,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer collectively to Landauer, Inc. and its subsidiaries through which its various businesses are conducted.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Entities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but is considered to have significant influence, are accounted for on the equity method.

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

We believe that we have included all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016. 

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”) and other financial information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The September 30, 2015 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Form 10-K, and there have been no changes to the accounting policies for the six-month period ended March 31, 2016.
