Basis of presentation	Note 1 — Basis of presentation We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teleflex Incorporated on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, which sets forth the instructions for financial statements included in Form 10-Q. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 our financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures that are required to be included in our annual consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Accordingly, our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company revised its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 to reflect contingent consideration payments related to businesses acquired as a financing cash outflow. Previously, these payments were reflected as an investing cash outflow since 2011. As a result, the company has revised the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended July 1, 2012 to reflect $6.9 million of contingent consideration payments as financing activities as the payments were incorrectly reported as an investing activity in previous filings. Additionally, the Company identified $5.9 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, $6.9 million during the six months ended July 1, 2012 and nine months ended September 30, 2012, $17.6 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and $7.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 of contingent consideration payments related to businesses acquired that were also incorrectly reported as investing activities in the statement of cash flows. There was no impact to the prior year condensed consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and comprehensive income or statement of changes in stockholders’ equity as a result of these adjustments. These adjustments were not considered material to any previously issued financial statements. Accordingly, the Company will revise these periods in future filings. In addition, in the third quarter of 2012, due to changes in the Company’s management and internal reporting structure, the Company’s Latin America operations were moved from the Company’s Asia, Japan and Latin America (“AJLA”) Segment into the North America Segment. As a result of this change, the North America Segment is now referred to as the Americas Segment and the AJLA Segment is now referred to as the Asia Segment. The change did not affect the Company’s reporting unit structure. The prior comparative period has been restated to reflect this change. See Note 14 for a discussion of the Company’s segments. As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Teleflex” and the “Company” mean Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year.
