Sigma-Aldrich Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

($ in millions, except per share data)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

 

(2) Reclassifications

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the prior year contain certain reclassifications to conform to the presentation used in 2004.

 

(3) Effect of New Accounting Standards

 

In May 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act (“the Act”) of 2003” which supersedes FSP FAS 106-1 of the same title. The FASB Staff Position clarifies the accounting for the benefits attributable to new government subsidies for companies that provide prescription drug benefits to retirees. The new accounting requirements are not effective until the third quarter of 2004. In accordance with FSP FAS 106-1, the Company elected to defer accounting for the economic effects of the new Medicare Act. Accordingly, any measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the consolidated financial statements or accompanying notes do not reflect the effect of the subsidy because the Company has not concluded whether the benefits provided by the Company’s plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D under the Act.

 

(4) Common Stock

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of FASB No. 123” (SFAS 148). SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123) to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148.
