(the "Company" or "IFF") was reorganized into five geographic regions with an individual manager responsible for each region. The five regions established were North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Middle East ("CAME"). During the course of 2001, as the integration of Bush Boake Allen Inc. ("BBA") progressed, the Company refined the CAME region further to reflect the current organization and management structure. The CAME region was reconstituted as, and renamed the "Indian Subcontinent" (India, Pakistan and other countries in the Indian Subcontinent). The Central Asia and Middle East operations formerly included in CAME will from January 1, 2002 be included with Europe. North and Latin America and Asia-Pacific were unaffected by the geographic reorganization. During 2001, the Company sold its formulated fruit and vegetable preparation business in the United States and Brazil, and its Widnes, United Kingdom based aroma chemicals business acquired in the BBA transaction. Pro-forma financial information reflecting IFF's consolidated quarterly results excluding the effects of the sales and operating results of these non-core businesses will be presented. Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted FAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which eliminates the amortization of goodwill and other indefinite life intangibles. In anticipation of earnings announcements for 2002, the following information is being furnished as a result of or otherwise in connection with the further refinement related to the reorganization of the regions, disposal of the non-core businesses and the effects of adopting FAS 142. 1.
