Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 1: Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Basis of Presentation We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). For a more complete discussion of our accounting policies and certain other information, refer to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reclassifications Reclassifications have been made to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year periods to conform to classifications used in 2016.
