Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Preformed Line Products Company and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “PLPC”) have been prepared in accordance with United States of America (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. However, in the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all estimates and adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, required to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 14, 2014 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
