NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(Dollars in Millions Except Per Share Amounts)

(Unaudited)

 

1. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in management’s opinion, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods. Results of operations for the interim periods may not be representative of results to be expected for a full year.

 

Reference is made to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a complete set of financial notes including the Company’s significant accounting policies.

 

2. Provision for certain expenses, including income taxes, media advertising and consumer promotion are based on full year assumptions and are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in proportion with estimated annual tax rates, the passage of time or estimated annual sales.

 

3. Inventories by major classes were as follows:

 

    

March 31,

2005


  

December 31,

2004


Raw materials and supplies

   $ 218.0    $ 212.4

Work-in-process

     39.0      37.3

Finished goods

     649.7      595.8
    

  

     $ 906.7    $ 845.5
    

  

 

4. Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income is comprised of net earnings, as well as gains and losses from currency translation and derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $277.2 and $337.1, respectively. The difference from net income primarily consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

6. Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation plans are accounted for under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. As all grants had an exercise price not less than fair market value on the date of grant, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock option grants. The following illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”:

Pro forma stock option compensation expense above is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized over the vesting period.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new rule that amended the effective date of SFAS 123R, whereby the Company will now be required to adopt this Standard no later than January 1, 2006.

 

7. Acquisitions

 

On June 1, 2004, the Company completed the purchase of 100% of the outstanding shares of GABA Holding AG (GABA), a privately owned European oral care company headquartered in Switzerland, for 1,078.5 million Swiss francs (US $866) plus acquisition costs. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of GABA to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, this is subject to adjustment as the allocation of purchase price is not yet final, and the Company is completing its analysis of integration plans that may result in additional purchase price allocation adjustments. The Company expects to finalize the allocation of the purchase price within one year of the acquisition.
