Baxter International Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Baxter International Inc. and its subsidiaries (the company or Baxter) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the company’s 2003 Annual Report to Stockholders (2003 Annual Report).

 

In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All such adjustments, unless otherwise noted herein, are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2003 financial statements and notes to the 2004 presentation.

 

Stock compensation plans

 

The company has a number of stock-based employee compensation plans, including stock option, stock purchase and restricted stock plans. The company applies the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for these plans. In accordance with this intrinsic value method, no compensation expense is recognized for the company’s fixed stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share (EPS) if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to all stock-based employee compensation.

Changes in accounting principles

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46) was adopted July 1, 2003. Refer to the 2003 Annual Report for further information. In December 2003 the FASB revised and reissued FIN 46 (FIN 46-R). The provisions of FIN 46-R were required to be adopted no later than March 31, 2004. Baxter adopted FIN 46-R on March 31, 2004, and adoption of the revised standard did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
