Note 1 — Basis of presentation

We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teleflex Incorporated on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, which sets forth the instructions for financial statements included in Form 10-Q. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures that are required to be included in our annual consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Accordingly, our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2011 (the "Form 8-K"). The consolidated financial statements included in the Form 8-K update and supersede the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 to report the Company's former marine business, which the Company sold on March 22, 2011, and the Company's cargo container business, for which the Company approved a plan of sale, as discontinued operations. Subsequent to the filing of the Form 8-K, management approved a plan to sell the cargo systems business, which has been presented as a discontinued operation in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's information to conform with current year presentation.

As used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our," "Teleflex" and the "Company" mean Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year.
