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 presentation 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 cash outflow from financing activities of continuing operations, thereby correcting a presentation error in previous filings. Since 2011, these payments were reflected as a cash outflow from investing activities of continuing operations. The Company has revised the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to reflect $6.9 million of contingent consideration payments as cash outflows from financing activities, as the payments were incorrectly reported as cash outflows from investing activities in previous filings. Additionally, the Company will reclassify, in future filings containing prior period financial statements and in the same manner as described above, the following contingent consideration payments related to businesses acquired: $5.9 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, $17.6 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and $7.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. This change does not affect the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and comprehensive income or statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
