PART III — NARRATIVE
 
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
 
As previously disclosed, an Ad Hoc Committee of the Board of Directors of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (“Valeant” or the “Company”) was appointed to review the Company’s relationship with Philidor Rx Services, LLC (Philidor”) and related matters.  On February 22, 2016, Valeant announced that, based on the work of the Ad Hoc Committee, as well as additional work and analysis by the Company, the Company had preliminarily identified approximately $58 million of net revenues previously recognized in the second half of 2014 that should not have been recognized upon delivery of product to Philidor.  Correcting the misstatement is expected to reduce reported 2014 GAAP EPS by approximately $0.10 and increase 2015 GAAP EPS by approximately $0.09.
 
The preliminary unaudited financial information provided above with respect to currently anticipated adjustments to 2014 and 2015 should not be viewed as final and remains subject to change based on the Company’s ongoing procedures and review with respect to such periods.  In addition, the Ad Hoc Committee is continuing its review of the circumstances and appropriate actions to be taken.
 
The filing of Valeant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 will be delayed pending completion of the review of related accounting matters by the Ad Hoc Committee, with the assistance of its independent advisors, and the Company’s ongoing assessment of the impact on financial reporting and internal controls.  To date, the Company has not determined whether any restatements will be required or whether any control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.  As a result, Valeant does not expect that it will be in a position to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the 15-day extension period provided in Rule 12b-25(b).  The Company is working diligently and intends to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K as promptly as reasonably practicable after the conclusion of these matters.

xYes □No
 
(3)
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
xYes □No
 
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
 
Due to the ongoing work of the Ad Hoc Committee and the Company described above, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of any changes in results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 until such work is completed.
