BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION | 1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bunge Limited (“Bunge”), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Bunge is considered to be the primary beneficiary, and as a result, include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all entities over which Bunge exercises control. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, forming part of Bunge’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015. Restatement of Financial Statements Bunge’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 presented in this amended report is restated solely to reflect a reclassification of cash received from the settlement of net investment hedges from operating cash flows to investing cash flows. As a result, our previously filed interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 should no longer be relied upon. The impact of the reclassification on other previously reported periods was immaterial. The following table summarizes the effects of the reclassification (U.S. dollars in millions):
