General	Note 1: General The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States applied on a basis consistent with those principles used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements of Modine Manufacturing Company (“Modine” or the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Modine's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015. Discontinued operations: During fiscal 2009, the Company sold its Electronics Cooling business. The buyer financed a portion of the selling price by issuing promissory notes payable to Modine. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company received $1.5 million from the buyer, which represented the final payment on the promissory notes. The Company had previously recorded a reserve against a portion of the promissory notes due to collectability concerns. As a result, the Company recorded a gain of $0.9 million ($0.6 million after income taxes) during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. New accounting guidance: In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance, as part of its simplification initiative, that will require all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company plans to adopt this guidance beginning with its upcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending March 31, 2016. The Company does not expect this new accounting guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that companies are to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about revenue arising from contracts with customers. This new guidance will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
