Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (which may be referred to as Bristol-Myers Squibb, BMS or the Company) prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim reporting. Under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required for annual financial statements can be condensed or omitted. The Company is responsible for the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. These consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Material subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed through the report issuance date. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (Mead Johnson) financial results, previously reported in the Mead Johnson segment, have been reported as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Accordingly, the results and trends in these unaudited consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of full year operating results.

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management estimates and assumptions, based on complex judgments that are considered reasonable, that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The most significant assumptions are employed in estimates used in determining the fair value of intangible assets, restructuring charges and accruals, sales rebate and return accruals, legal contingencies, tax assets and tax liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, pension and postretirement benefits (including the actuarial assumptions), fair value of financial instruments with no direct or observable market quotes, inventory obsolescence, potential impairment of long-lived assets, allowances for bad debt, as well as in estimates used in applying the revenue recognition policy. Actual results may differ from estimated results.

New accounting standards were adopted on January 1, 2010, none of which had an impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Among other items, these standards:

•

Provide clarifying criteria in determining when a transferor has surrendered control over transferred financial assets and removed the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity.

•

Require an ongoing reassessment of the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity; eliminate the quantitative approach previously required in determining the primary beneficiary; and provide guidance in determining the primary beneficiary as the entity that has both the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits for events significant to the variable interest entity.

The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of an accounting standard that allows for the allocation of consideration received in a bundled revenue arrangement among the separate deliverables by introducing an estimated selling price method for valuing the elements if vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of a selling price is not available. The standard provides more flexibility in recognizing revenue for bundled arrangements and expands related disclosure requirements. It is effective either on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 or on a retrospective basis and early application is permitted.

Note 2. ALLIANCES AND COLLABORATIONS

The Company maintains alliances and collaborations with various third parties for the development and commercialization of certain products. The following information summarizes the current operating trends of commercialized products. See the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more complete description of the below agreements, including termination provisions, as well as disclosures of other alliances and collaborations.

sanofi

The Company has agreements with sanofi-aventis (sanofi) for the codevelopment and cocommercialization of AVAPRO*/AVALIDE* (irbesartan/irbesartan-hydrochlorothiazide), an angiotensin II receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of hypertension and diabetic nephropathy, and PLAVIX* (clopidogrel bisulfate), a platelet aggregation inhibitor. The worldwide alliance operates under the framework of two geographic territories; one in the Americas (principally the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and Latin American countries) and Australia, and the other in Europe and Asia. The agreements expire on the later of (i) with respect to PLAVIX*, 2013 and, with respect to AVAPRO*/AVALIDE*, 2012 in the Americas and Australia and 2013 in Europe and Asia, and (ii) the expiration of all patents and other exclusivity rights relating to these products in the applicable territory.

The Company acts as the operating partner and owns a 50.1% majority controlling interest in the territory covering the Americas and Australia and consolidates all country partnership results for this territory with sanofi’s 49.9% share of the results reflected as a noncontrolling interest. The Company recognizes net sales in this territory and in comarketing countries outside this territory (e.g., Germany, Italy for irbesartan only, Spain and Greece). Discovery royalties owed to sanofi are included in cost of products sold. Sanofi acts as the operating partner and owns a 50.1% majority controlling interest in the territory covering Europe and Asia. The Company’s 49.9% ownership interest in this territory is accounted for under the equity method with its share of operating results recognized in equity in net income of affiliates. Distributions of profits relating to the joint ventures among the Company and sanofi are included within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company and sanofi have a separate partnership governing the copromotion of irbesartan in the U.S. The Company recognizes other income related to the amortization of deferred income associated with sanofi’s $350 million payment to the Company for their acquisition of an interest in the irbesartan license for the U.S. upon formation of the alliance. Income attributed to certain supply activities and development and opt-out royalties with sanofi are reflected on a net basis in other income.

Otsuka

The Company has a worldwide commercialization agreement (excluding certain countries) with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka), to codevelop and copromote with Otsuka, ABILIFY* (aripiprazole), for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar mania disorder and major depressive disorder. In the U.S., Germany, France and Spain, where the product is invoiced to third-party customers by the Company on behalf of Otsuka, the Company recognizes alliance revenue for its contractual share of third-party net sales, which was reduced in the U.S. starting January 1, 2010 from 65% to 58% for 2010. Further reductions in the Company’s U.S. contractual share of revenue in the U.S. will occur on January 1, 2011, January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2013 under the terms of the commercialization agreement. Beginning January 1, 2010, Otsuka reimburses the Company 30% of ABILIFY* related operating expenses in the U.S. Reimbursements are netted principally in advertising and product promotion and selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company continues to receive 65% of third-party net sales in France, Germany and Spain with no expense reimbursement. In certain countries where the Company is presently the exclusive distributor for the product or has an exclusive right to sell ABILIFY*, the Company recognizes 100% of the net sales and related cost of products sold and expenses.

The Company paid Otsuka $400 million in April 2009 for extending the term of the commercialization and manufacturing agreement in the U.S. through April 2015. This payment is included in other assets and is being amortized as a reduction of net sales through the extension period. Previously capitalized milestone payments totaling $60 million are included in intangible assets and amortized to cost of products sold.

The Company and Otsuka also have an oncology collaboration for SPRYCEL (dasatinib) and IXEMPRA (ixabepilone) (the “Oncology Products”) in the U.S., Japan and the EU (the “Oncology Territory”). Beginning January 1, 2010, the Company pays a collaboration fee to Otsuka equal to 30% of the first $400 million annual net sales of the Oncology Products in the Oncology Territory, 5% of annual net sales between $400 million and $600 million, and 3% of annual net sales between $600 million and $800 million with additional trailing percentages of annual net sales over $800 million. This fee is included in cost of products sold. Otsuka will contribute 20% of the first $175 million of certain commercial operational expenses relating to the Oncology Products in the Oncology Territory and 1% of such costs in excess of $175 million. Reimbursements are netted principally in selling, general and administrative and advertising and product promotion.

Lilly

The Company has a collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) for the codevelopment and promotion of ERBITUX* (cetuximab) in the U.S., pursuant to a commercialization agreement with Lilly’s subsidiary, ImClone Systems Incorporated (ImClone), which expires as to ERBITUX* in September 2018. Lilly receives a distribution fee based on 39% of ERBITUX* net sales in North America, which is included in cost of products sold. In Japan, the Company shares rights to ERBITUX* under an agreement with Lilly and Merck KGaA and receives 50% of the pre-tax profit from Merck’s net sales of ERBITUX* in Japan which is further shared equally with Lilly. The Company’s 25% share of profits from commercialization in Japan is included in other income.

Previously capitalized milestone payments are being amortized through 2018 and are classified in costs of products sold.

The following summarized financial information related to this alliance is reflected in the consolidated financial statements:

In January 2010, the Company and Lilly restructured the commercialization agreement described above as it relates to necitumumab (IMC-11F8), a novel targeted cancer therapy currently in Phase III development for non-small cell lung cancer. As restructured, both companies will share in the cost of developing and potentially commercializing necitumumab in the U.S., Canada and Japan. Lilly maintains exclusive rights to necitumumab in all other markets. The Company will fund 55% of development costs for studies that will be used only in the U.S. and will fund 27.5% for global studies. The Company and Lilly will share development costs in Japan equally. The Company will pay $250 million to Lilly as a milestone payment upon first approval in the U.S. In the U.S. and Canada, the Company will recognize sales and receive 55% of the profits for necitumumab. Lilly will provide 50% of the selling effort. In Japan, the Company and Lilly will share commercial costs and profits evenly. The agreement as it relates to necitumumab continues beyond patent expiration. It may be terminated at any time by the Company with 12 months advance notice (18 months if prior to launch), by either party for uncured material breach by the other or if both parties agree to terminate.

Gilead

The Company and Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) have a joint venture to develop and commercialize ATRIPLA* (efavirenz 600 mg/ emtricitabine 200 mg/ tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg), a once-daily single tablet three-drug regimen combining the Company’s SUSTIVA (efavirenz) and Gilead’s TRUVADA* (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate), in the U.S., Canada and Europe. The Company accounts for its participation in the U.S. joint venture under the equity method of accounting and recognizes its share of the joint venture results in equity in net income of affiliates in the consolidated statements of earnings.

In the U.S., Canada and most European countries, the Company records revenue for the bulk efavirenz component of ATRIPLA* upon sales of that product to third-party customers. Revenue for the efavirenz component is determined by applying a percentage to ATRIPLA* revenue to approximate revenue for the SUSTIVA brand. In a limited number of EU countries, the Company recognizes revenue for ATRIPLA* since the product is purchased from Gilead and then distributed to third-party customers.

AstraZeneca

The Company maintains two worldwide codevelopment and cocommercialization agreements with AstraZeneca PLC (AstraZeneca), The first is for the worldwide codevelopment and cocommercialization (excluding Japan) of ONGLYZA (saxagliptin), a DPP-IV inhibitor (Saxagliptin Agreement) and the second is for the worldwide codevelopment and cocommercialization (including Japan) of dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor (SGLT2 Agreement). Both compounds are being studied for the treatment of diabetes and were discovered by the Company. Under each agreement, the two companies are jointly developing the clinical and marketing strategy and share development and commercialization costs and profits and losses equally, except for Japan where AstraZeneca bears all the costs of dapagliflozin development under the current development plan. Net reimbursements for development costs from AstraZeneca are included in research and development. Net reimbursements for commercial costs are included principally in advertising and product promotion and selling, general and administrative expenses. AstraZeneca’s share of profits is included in cost of goods sold.

Upfront licensing and milestone payments received for both compounds totaling $350 million, including $50 million received in the first quarter of 2010, are amortized over the useful life of the products into other income.

The Company and AstraZeneca launched ONGLYZA in the third quarter of 2009.

Exelixis

In June 2010, the Company terminated its global codevelopment and cocommercialization arrangement for XL184 (a MET/VEG/RET inhibitor), an oral anti-cancer compound with all rights returning to Exelixis, Inc. (Exelixis). As a result of the termination, the Company paid $17 million, which has been included in research and development expense. In addition, the Company is no longer obligated for contingent development and regulatory milestone payments of $295 million and sales milestone payments of $150 million. The Company will continue its license arrangement with Exelixis for XL281 and other collaborations for small molecule candidates.

Note 4. RESTRUCTURING

The productivity transformation initiative (PTI) was designed to fundamentally change the way the business is run to meet the challenges of a changing business environment and to take advantage of the diverse opportunities in the marketplace as the transformation into a next-generation biopharmaceutical company continues. In addition to the PTI, a strategic process designed to achieve a culture of continuous improvement to enhance efficiency, effectiveness and competitiveness and to continue to improve the cost base has been implemented.

The following PTI and other restructuring charges were recognized:

Net charges	$	63	$	84		$	395	$	187

Most of the accelerated depreciation, asset impairment and other shutdown costs were included in cost of products sold and primarily relate to the rationalization of the manufacturing network in the BioPharmaceuticals segment. These assets continue to be depreciated until the facility closures are completed. The remaining charges were primarily attributed to process standardization activities or attributed to pension plan curtailment charges both of which are recognized as incurred.

Restructuring charges included termination benefits for workforce reduction of manufacturing, selling, administrative, and research and development personnel across all geographic regions of approximately 60 and 232 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and approximately 540 and 587 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The following table presents the detail of expenses incurred in connection with restructuring activities and related restructuring liability activity:

In connection with the continued optimization of the manufacturing network, the operations in Latina, Italy were sold to International Chemical Investors, SE (ICI) on May 31, 2010 resulting in a $218 million loss. The loss consisted of a $200 million impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2010 attributed to the write-down of assets to fair value less cost of sale when the assets met the held for sale criteria and $18 million of other working capital adjustments and transaction related fees. An €18 million ($22 million) 6% subordinated promissory note payable in installments by May 2017 was received as consideration. Additional charges may be required pertaining to the Company’s obligation to fund a portion of ICI’s future restructuring costs up to €19 million ($23 million).

As part of the transaction, a one year supply agreement was entered into with ICI in which the Company will be the non-exclusive supplier of certain products to ICI. Also, a three year tolling and manufacturing agreement, which can be extended for an additional two years, was entered into with ICI in which the Company will supply certain raw material products to be processed and finished at the Latina facility and then distributed by the Company in various markets.

Note 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Mead Johnson Nutrition Company Split-off

In February 2009, Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (Mead Johnson) completed an initial public offering (IPO) in which the Company received $782 million and retained an 83.1% interest in Mead Johnson. On December 23, 2009, the split-off of the remaining interest in Mead Johnson was completed in exchange for 269 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The results of the Mead Johnson business are included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

(1)	Provision for income taxes include $130 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of taxes incurred from the transfer of various international business units to Mead Johnson prior to the IPO.

Transitional Relationships with Discontinued Operations

Subsequent to the split-off, cash flows and income associated with the Mead Johnson business continued to be generated relating to activities that are transitional in nature and generally result from agreements that are intended to facilitate the orderly transfer of business operations. The agreements include, among others, services for accounting, customer service, distribution and manufacturing and generally expire no later than 18 months from the date of the split-off. The income generated from these transitional activities is included in other (income)/expense and is not expected to be material to the future results of operations or cash flows.

Note 7. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes was 19.3% and 21.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 23.4% and 23.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the permanent reinvestment of offshore earnings from certain manufacturing operations.

The lower effective income tax rate in the three months ended September 30, 2010, was due to:

•

Certain favorable discrete tax adjustments of $54 million in 2010 related to prior years, including an $85 million tax benefit resulting from the effective settlement of U.S. and international uncertain tax positions offset by a $30 million tax charge upon finalizing the 2009 U.S. tax return.

•

A favorable earnings mix between high and low tax jurisdictions.

Partially offset by:

•

Certain favorable discrete tax adjustments of $78 million in 2009 related to prior years, including an additional benefit of $67 million upon finalizing the 2008 U.S. tax return.

•

A favorable impact on the prior year rate from the research and development tax credit which expired on December 31, 2009.

The lower effective income tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was due to:

•

Certain favorable discrete tax adjustments of $140 million in 2010, primarily resulting from the effective settlements of U.S. and international uncertain tax positions.

•

An out-of-period tax adjustment of $59 million in 2010 related to previously unrecognized net deferred tax assets primarily attributed to deferred profits for financial reporting purposes related to certain alliances as of December 31, 2009. This adjustment is not material to any current or prior periods nor is it expected to be material for the year ended December 31, 2010.

•

A favorable earnings mix between high and low tax jurisdictions.

Partially offset by:

•

Certain favorable discrete tax adjustments of $116 million in 2009 related to prior years, including an additional benefit of $67 million from the completion of the 2008 U.S. tax return and a $40 million tax benefit resulting from the final settlement of certain state audits.

•

A favorable impact on the prior year rate from the research and development tax credit which expired on December 31, 2009.

•

A $21 million charge in the first quarter of 2010 from the reduction of deferred tax assets due to the enactment of healthcare reform. The deferred tax charge was required as a result of the elimination of the deductibility of retiree healthcare payments to the extent of tax-free Medicare Part D subsidies that are received. The change in deductibility is effective January 1, 2013.

U.S. income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as these undistributed earnings have been invested or are expected to be permanently reinvested offshore. If, in the future, these earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if such earnings are determined to be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions would be required. Reforms to the international tax laws have been proposed that if adopted may increase taxes and reduce the results of operations and cash flows. Future income tax rates are also expected to be negatively impacted by healthcare reform including the enactment of an annual non-tax deductible pharmaceutical fee beginning in 2011 payable to the government.

The Company is currently under examination by a number of tax authorities which have proposed adjustments to taxes for issues such as transfer pricing, certain tax credits and the deductibility of certain expenses. The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2010 will decrease in the range of approximately $125 million to $155 million in the next twelve months as a result of the settlement of certain tax audits and other events. The expected change in unrecognized tax benefits, primarily settlement related, will involve the payment of additional taxes, the adjustment of certain deferred taxes and/or the recognition of tax benefits. The Company also anticipates that it is reasonably possible that new issues will be raised by tax authorities which may require increases to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits; however, an estimate of such increases cannot reasonably be made at this time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for all open tax years by tax jurisdiction.

Note 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are classified in one of the following three categories:

For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, direct and indirect observable price quotes are utilized, including LIBOR and EURIBOR yield curves, foreign exchange forward prices, NYMEX futures pricing and common stock price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities:

•

U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. Government Agency Securities and U.S. Government Agency Money Market Funds – valued at the quoted market price from observable pricing sources at the reporting date.

•

Equity Securities – valued using quoted stock prices from New York Stock Exchange or National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System at the reporting date.

•

Prime Money Market Funds – net asset value of $1 per share.

•

Corporate Debt Securities and Commercial Paper – valued at the quoted market price from observable pricing sources at the reporting date.

•

FDIC Insured Debt Securities – valued at the quoted market price from observable pricing sources at the reporting date.

•

U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds – valued at the quoted market price from observable pricing sources at the reporting date.

•

Interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities – valued using LIBOR and EURIBOR yield curves, less credit valuation adjustments, at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are highly-rated financial institutions, none of which experienced any significant downgrades since January 1, 2010. Valuations may fluctuate considerably from period-to-period due to volatility in underlying interest rates, driven by market conditions and the duration of the swap. In addition, credit valuation adjustment volatility may have a significant impact on the valuation of interest rate swaps due to changes in counterparty credit ratings and credit default swap spreads.

•

Foreign currency forward derivative assets and liabilities – valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are highly-rated financial institutions, none of which experienced any significant downgrades since January 1, 2010. Valuations may fluctuate considerably from period-to-period due to volatility in the underlying foreign currencies. A majority of foreign currency forward derivatives mature within two years and counterparty credit risk is not considered significant.

Valuation models are utilized that rely exclusively on Level 3 inputs due to the lack of observable market quotes for the ARS and FRS portfolio. These inputs are based on expected cash flow streams and collateral values including assessments of counterparty credit quality, default risk underlying the security, discount rates and overall capital market liquidity. The fair value of ARS was determined using internally developed valuations that were based in part on indicative bids received on the underlying assets of the securities and other evidence of fair value. Due to the current lack of an active market for FRS and the general lack of transparency into their underlying assets, other qualitative analyses are relied upon to value FRS including discussion with brokers and fund managers, default risk underlying the security and overall capital market liquidity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $73 million principal at par was received for FRS.

Note 9. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Cash and cash equivalents were $7,581 million at September 30, 2010 and $7,683 million at December 31, 2009 and consisted of prime money market funds, government agency securities and treasury securities. Cash equivalents primarily consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

The following table summarizes current and non-current marketable securities, accounted for as “available for sale” debt securities and equity securities:

Receivables are netted with deferred income related to alliance partners until recognition of income. As a result, alliance partner receivables and deferred income were reduced by $899 million and $730 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. For additional information regarding alliance partners, see “—Note 2. Alliances and Collaborations.” Non-U.S. receivables sold on a nonrecourse basis were $674 million and $343 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the aggregate, receivables due from three pharmaceutical wholesalers in the U.S. represented 49% and 47% of total trade receivables at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2010, the government of Greece announced that it intends to convert certain past due receivables from government run hospitals into non-interest bearing notes to be paid over one to three year periods. As a result, receivables of €41 million ($51 million) were reclassified to other long-term assets. A $9 million charge attributed to the imputed discount on the expected non-interest bearing loans over the expected collection period was recognized in the second quarter of 2010 and has been included in other (income)/expense.

Noncontrolling interest is primarily related to the partnerships with sanofi for the territory covering the Americas for net sales of PLAVIX*. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest are presented net of taxes of $173 million and $141 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $509 million and $412 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in the consolidated statements of earnings with a corresponding increase to the provision for income taxes. Distribution of the partnership profits to sanofi and sanofi's funding of ongoing partnership operations occur on a routine basis and are included within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The above activity includes the pre-tax income and distributions related to these partnerships.

Treasury stock is recognized at the cost to reacquire the shares. Shares issued from treasury are recognized utilizing the first-in first-out method.

In May 2010, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of common stock. Repurchases may be made either in the open market or through private transactions, including under repurchase plans established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date but is expected to take place over the next few years. It may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company repurchased 7.2 million and 14.5 million shares, respectively, at the average price of approximately $26.06 per share and $24.91 per share, respectively, and an aggregate cost of $189 million and $362 million, respectively.

Contributions to the U.S. pension plans are expected to approximate $330 million during 2010, of which $320 million was contributed in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Contributions to the international plans are expected to range from $85 million to $100 million in 2010, of which $58 million was contributed in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

In connection with the amendments of the U.S. Retirement Income Plan and several other plans, the crediting of future benefits relating to service was eliminated effective December 31, 2009. In addition, actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the expected weighted-average remaining lives of the participants (32 years). Net periodic benefit costs are reduced as a result of these changes. Pension settlement charges resulting in an acceleration of previously deferred actuarial losses might be required in future periods if lump sum payments for individual plans exceed the sum of the related plan's service cost and interest cost.

Certain enhancements were made to the defined contribution plans in the U.S. and Puerto Rico allowing for increased matching and additional Company contributions effective January 1, 2010. The expense attributed to these plans was $44 million and $12 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $139 million and $39 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, 3.2 million restricted stock units, 1.4 million market share units and 1.7 million long-term performance share units were granted. The weighted-average grant date fair value for restricted stock units, market share units and long-term performance share units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $24.75, $24.69 and $23.65, respectively.

Restricted stock units vest ratably over a four year period. Market share units vest ratably over a four year period based on share price performance. The fair value of market share units was estimated on the date of grant using a model applying multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying market conditions. Long-term performance share units are determined based on the achievement of annual performance goals, but are not vested until the end of the three year period.

Total compensation costs related to nonvested awards not yet recognized and the weighted-average period over which such awards are expected to be recognized at September 30, 2010 were as follows:


Dollars in Millions	Stock Options		Restricted Stock		Long-Term Performance Awards
Unrecognized compensation cost	$	49	$	185	$	28
Expected weighted-average period of compensation cost to be recognized		1.9 years		2.0 years		1.5 years

Note 16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, accounts payable, debt instruments and derivatives. Due to their short term maturity, the carrying amount of receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value. For further information about cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, see “—Note 9. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities.”

There is exposure to market risk due to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. As a result, certain derivative financial instruments are used when available on a cost-effective basis to hedge the underlying economic exposure. These instruments qualify as cash flow, net investment and fair value hedges upon meeting certain criteria, including effectiveness of offsetting hedged exposures. Changes in fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in earnings as they occur. All financial instruments, including derivatives, are subject to counterparty credit risk which is considered as part of the overall fair value measurement. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading purposes.

Foreign currency forward contracts are used to manage cash flow exposures. The primary net foreign currency exposures hedged are the Euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, British pound, Australian dollar and Mexican peso. Fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps are used as part of the interest rate risk management strategy. These swaps generally qualify for fair-value hedge accounting treatment. Certain net asset changes due to foreign exchange volatility are generally hedged through non-U.S. dollar borrowings which qualify as a net investment hedge.

Qualifying Hedges

Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts — Foreign currency forward contracts are utilized to hedge forecasted intercompany and other transactions for certain foreign currencies. These contracts are designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges when appropriate. The effective portion of changes in fair value for the designated foreign currency hedges is temporarily reported in accumulated OCI and recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The net deferred gains on foreign currency forward contracts qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting are expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next 28 months.

Effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis. These assessments determine whether derivatives designated as qualifying hedges continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. Any ineffective portion of change in fair value is included in current period earnings. The impact of hedge ineffectiveness on earnings was a pre-tax gain of $2 million and $3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, which was recognized in other (income)/expense. Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued when the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring on the originally forecasted date, or 60 days thereafter, or when the hedge is no longer effective. Discontinued foreign currency forward hedges resulted in a pre-tax loss of $8 million and a pre-tax gain of $3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, which was recognized in other (income)/expense.

Interest Rate Contracts — Terminated swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated OCI and amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the debt when the hedged debt remains outstanding.

The impact on OCI and earnings from derivative instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges was as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	Foreign Currency Forward Contracts						Natural Gas Contracts						Forward Starting Swaps						Total Impact

Hedge of Net Investment

Non-U.S. dollar borrowings, primarily the €500 Million Notes due 2016 and €500 Million Notes due 2021, ($1.3 billion total), are used to hedge the foreign currency exposures of the net investment in certain foreign affiliates. These borrowings are designated as a hedge of a net investment. At September 30, 2010, €294 million ($396 million) of the Notes due 2016 have been dedesignated.

The impact on OCI and earnings from non-derivative debt designated net investment hedges was as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Net carrying amount at September 30	$	(105	)	$	(194	)

Fair Value Hedges

Interest Rate Contracts — Derivative instruments are used as part of an interest rate risk management strategy, principally fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps that are designated as fair-value hedges.

The swaps and underlying debt for the benchmark risk being hedged are recorded at fair value. Swaps are intended to create an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt. The basis adjustment to debt with qualifying fair value hedging relationships is amortized to earnings as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the debt when the underlying swap is terminated prior to maturity.

In May 2010, fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements of $237 million notional amount and €500 million notional amount were terminated generating total proceeds of $116 million which included accrued interest of $18 million and a basis adjustment of $98 million which was deferred and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the underlying debt.

In January 2010, fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps were executed to convert $332 million of the 6.80% Debentures due 2026 and $147 million of the 7.15% Debentures due 2023 from fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. These swaps qualified as a fair value hedge for each debt instrument.

The impact on earnings from interest rate swaps that qualified as fair value hedges was as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
Dollars in Millions	2010			2009			2010			2009

Total	$	(38	)	$	(38	)	$	(125	)	$	(103	)

The impact on long-term debt from interest rate swaps that qualify as fair value hedges and other items were as follows:


Dollars in Millions	September 30, 2010			December 31, 2009
Principal value	$	5,537		$	5,622
Adjustments to Principal Value:
Fair value of interest rate swaps		519			160
Unamortized basis adjustment from swap terminations		451			377
Unamortized bond discounts		(28	)		(29	)

Total	$	6,479		$	6,130

Total interest expense, including interest on long-term debt and interest rate swaps, amounted to $38 million and $47 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $103 million and $141 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Non-Qualifying Foreign Exchange Contracts

Foreign currency forward contracts are used to offset exposure to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets, liabilities and earnings. The primary objective of these contracts is to protect the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets, liabilities and earnings from the effects of volatility in foreign exchange rates that might occur prior to their receipt or settlement in U.S. dollars. These contracts are not designated as hedges and are adjusted to fair value through other (income)/expense as they occur, and substantially offset the change in fair value of the underlying foreign currency denominated monetary asset, liability or earnings.

Foreign currency forward contracts were used to hedge anticipated earnings denominated in Australian and Canadian dollars throughout 2010. These contracts are not designated as qualifying hedges, and therefore, gains or losses on these derivatives will be recognized in earnings in other (income)/expense as they occur. The effect of non-qualifying hedges was a $6 million and $3 million loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and was not significant for 2009.

The following table summarizes the fair value of outstanding derivatives:


			September 30, 2010				December 31, 2009					September 30, 2010					December 31, 2009

*	The notional value of natural gas contracts was 1 million and 2 million decatherms at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The derivative financial instruments present certain market and counterparty risks; however, concentration of counterparty risk is mitigated by using banks worldwide with Standard & Poor's and Moody's long-term debt ratings of A or higher. In addition, only conventional derivative financial instruments are utilized. The consolidated financial statements would not be materially impacted if any counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of its agreement. Currently, collateral or any other form of securitization is not required to be furnished by the counterparties to derivative financial instruments.

For a discussion on the fair value of financial instruments, see “—Note 8. Fair Value Measurement.”

Note 17. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES

Various lawsuits, claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings are pending involving the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Company recognizes accruals for such contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These matters involve, among other things, antitrust, securities, patent infringement, pricing, sales and marketing practices, environmental, commercial, health and safety matters, consumer fraud, employment matters, product liability and insurance coverage. The most significant of these matters are described below.

Although the Company believes it has substantial defenses in these matters, there can be no assurance that there will not be an increase in the scope of pending matters or that any future lawsuits, claims, government investigations or other legal proceedings will not be material.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

PLAVIX* Litigation

PLAVIX* is currently the Company’s largest product ranked by net sales. The PLAVIX* patents are subject to a number of challenges in the U.S., including the litigation with Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (Apotex) described below, and in other less significant markets for the product. The Company and its product partner, sanofi, (the Companies) intend to vigorously pursue enforcement of their patent rights in PLAVIX*.

PLAVIX* Litigation – U.S.

Patent Infringement Litigation against Apotex and Related Matters

As previously disclosed, the Company’s U.S. territory partnership under its alliance with sanofi is a plaintiff in a pending patent infringement lawsuit instituted in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (District Court) entitled Sanofi-Synthelabo, Sanofi-Synthelabo, Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Sanofi Pharmaceuticals Holding Partnership v. Apotex. The suit is based on U.S. Patent No. 4,847,265 (the ‘265 Patent), a composition of matter patent, which discloses and claims, among other things, the hydrogen sulfate salt of clopidogrel, a medicine made available in the U.S. by the Companies as PLAVIX*. Also, as previously reported, the District Court upheld the validity and enforceability of the ‘265 Patent, maintaining the main patent

protection for PLAVIX* in the U.S. until November 2011. The District Court also ruled that Apotex’s generic clopidogrel bisulfate product infringed the ‘265 Patent and permanently enjoined Apotex from engaging in any activity that infringes the ‘265 Patent, including marketing its generic product in the U.S. until after the patent expires.

Apotex appealed the District Court’s decision and on December 12, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Circuit Court) affirmed the District Court’s ruling sustaining the validity of the ‘265 Patent. Apotex filed a petition with the Circuit Court for a rehearing en banc, and in March 2009, the Circuit Court denied Apotex’s petition. The case has been remanded to the District Court for further proceedings relating to damages. In July 2009, Apotex filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting the Supreme Court to review the Circuit Court’s decision. In November 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition, declining to review the Circuit Court’s decision. In December 2009, the Company filed a motion in the District Court for summary judgment on damages, and in January 2010, Apotex filed a motion seeking a stay of the ongoing damages proceedings pending the outcome of the reexamination of the PLAVIX* patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) described below. In April 2010, the District Court denied Apotex’s motion to stay the proceedings. In October 2010, the District Court granted the Companies’ summary judgment motion and awarded $442 million in damages plus costs and interest. The District Court’s decision is subject to appeal by Apotex and it is not possible at this time to reasonably assess Apotex’s ability to pay the Companies this damages award.

As previously disclosed, the Company’s U.S. territory partnership under its alliance with sanofi is also a plaintiff in five additional patent infringement lawsuits against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, LTD (Dr. Reddy’s), Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva), Cobalt Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Cobalt), Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Watson Laboratories, Inc. (Watson) and Sun Pharmaceuticals (Sun). The lawsuits against Dr. Reddy’s, Teva and Cobalt relate to the ‘265 Patent. In May 2009, Dr Reddy’s signed a consent judgment in favor of sanofi and BMS conceding the validity and infringement of the ‘265 Patent. As previously reported, the patent infringement actions against Teva and Cobalt were stayed pending resolution of the Apotex litigation, and the parties to those actions agreed to be bound by the outcome of the litigation against Apotex. Consequently, on July 12, 2007, the District Court entered judgments against Cobalt and Teva and permanently enjoined Cobalt and Teva from engaging in any activity that infringes the ‘265 Patent until after the Patent expires. Cobalt and Teva each filed an appeal. In July 2009, the Circuit Court issued a mandate in the Teva appeal binding Teva to the decision in the Apotex litigation. In August 2009, Cobalt consented to entry of judgment in its appeal agreeing to be bound by Circuit Court’s decision in the Apotex litigation. The lawsuit against Watson, filed in October 2004, was based on U.S. Patent No. 6,429,210 (the ‘210 Patent), which discloses and claims a particular crystalline or polymorph form of the hydrogen sulfate salt of clopidogrel, which is marketed as PLAVIX*. In December 2005, the Court permitted Watson to pursue its declaratory judgment counterclaim with respect to U.S. Patent No. 6,504,030. In January 2006, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation to stay this case pending the outcome of the trial in the Apotex matter. On May 1, 2009, BMS and Watson entered into a stipulation to dismiss the case. In April 2007, Pharmastar filed a request for inter partes reexamination of the ‘210 Patent at the PTO. The PTO granted this request in July of 2007 and in July 2009, the PTO vacated the reexamination proceeding. The lawsuit against Sun, filed on July 11, 2008, is based on infringement of the ‘265 Patent and the ‘210 Patent. With respect to the ‘265 Patent, Sun has agreed to be bound by the outcome of the Apotex litigation. Each of Dr. Reddy’s, Teva, Cobalt, Watson and Sun have filed an aNDA with the FDA, and, with respect to Dr. Reddy’s, Teva, Cobalt and Watson all exclusivity periods and statutory stay periods under the Hatch-Waxman Act have expired. Accordingly, final approval by the FDA would provide each company authorization to distribute a generic clopidogrel bisulfate product in the U.S., subject to various legal remedies for which the Companies may apply including injunctive relief and damages.

On June 1, 2009, Apotex filed a request for ex parte reexamination of the ‘265 Patent at the PTO and in August 2009, the PTO agreed to reexamine the patent. In December 2009, the PTO issued a non-final office action rejecting several claims covering PLAVIX* including the claim that was previously upheld in the litigation against Apotex referred to above. Sanofi responded to the office action in February 2010. The PTO has issued an ex parte Reexamination Certificate withdrawing the rejections in the non-final office action and confirming patentability of all the claims of the ‘265 Patent. Apotex has filed a second request for ex parte reexamination of the ‘265 Patent and in June 2010, the PTO denied Apotex’s request to reexamine the patent again.

Additionally, on November 13, 2008, Apotex filed a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court entitled, Apotex Inc., et al. v. sanofi-aventis, et al., seeking payment of $60 million, plus interest, related to the break-up of the proposed settlement agreement.

PLAVIX* Litigation – International

PLAVIX* – Australia

As previously disclosed, sanofi was notified that, in August 2007, GenRx Proprietary Limited (GenRx) obtained regulatory approval of an application for clopidogrel bisulfate 75mg tablets in Australia. GenRx, formerly a subsidiary of Apotex, has since changed its name to Apotex. In August 2007, Apotex filed an application in the Federal Court of Australia seeking revocation of sanofi’s Australian Patent No. 597784 (Case No. NSD 1639 of 2007). Sanofi filed counterclaims of infringement and sought an

injunction. On September 21, 2007, the Australian court granted sanofi’s injunction. A subsidiary of the Company was subsequently added as a party to the proceedings. In February 2008, a second company, Spirit Pharmaceuticals Pty. Ltd., also filed a revocation suit against the same patent. This case was consolidated with the Apotex case and a trial occurred in April 2008. On August 12, 2008, the Federal Court of Australia held that claims of Patent No. 597784 covering clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate salts were valid. The Federal Court also held that the process claims, pharmaceutical composition claims, and claim directed to clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts were invalid. The Company and sanofi filed notices of appeal in the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (Full Court) appealing the holding of invalidity of the claim covering clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, process claims, and pharmaceutical composition claims which have stayed the Federal Court’s ruling. Apotex filed a notice of appeal appealing the holding of validity of the clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate claims. A hearing on the appeals occurred in February 2009. On September 29, 2009, the Full Federal Court of Australia held all of the claims of Patent No. 597784 invalid. In November 2009, the Company and sanofi applied to the High Court of Australia (High Court) for special leave to appeal the judgment of the Full Court. In March 2010, the High Court denied the Company and sanofi’s request to hear the appeal of the Full Court decision. The case has been remanded to the Federal Court for further proceedings related to damages. It is expected the amount of damages will not be material to the Company.

PLAVIX* – EU

As previously disclosed, in 2007, YES Pharmaceutical Development Services GmbH (YES Pharmaceutical) filed an application for marketing authorization in Germany for an alternate salt form of clopidogrel. This application relied on data from studies that were originally conducted by sanofi and BMS for PLAVIX* and were still the subject of data protection in the EU. Sanofi and BMS have filed an action against YES Pharmaceutical and its partners in the administrative court in Cologne objecting to the marketing authorization. This matter is currently pending, although these specific marketing authorizations now have been withdrawn from the market.

PLAVIX* – Canada (Apotex, Inc.)

On April 22, 2009, Apotex filed an impeachment action against sanofi in the Federal Court of Canada alleging that sanofi’s Canadian Patent No. 1,336,777 (the ‘777 Patent) is invalid. The ‘777 Patent covers clopidogrel bisulfate and was the patent at issue in the prohibition action in Canada previously disclosed in which the Canadian Federal Court of Ottawa rejected Apotex’s challenge to the ‘777 Patent, held that the asserted claims are novel, not obvious and infringed, and granted sanofi’s application for an order of prohibition against the Minister of Health and Apotex, precluding approval of Apotex’s Abbreviated New Drug Submission until the patent expires in 2012, which decision was affirmed on appeal by both the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. On June 8, 2009, sanofi filed its defense to the impeachment action and filed a suit against Apotex for infringement of the ‘777 Patent.

OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION

ABILIFY*

As previously disclosed, Otsuka has filed patent infringement actions against Teva, Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Barr), Sandoz Inc. (Sandoz), Synthon Laboratories, Inc (Synthon), Sun Pharmaceuticals (Sun), Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., and Apotex relating to U.S. Patent No. 5,006,528, which covers aripiprazole and expires in April 2015 (including the additional six-month pediatric exclusivity period). Aripiprazole is comarketed by the Company and Otsuka in the U.S. as ABILIFY*. A non-jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (NJ District Court) was completed in August 2010 and post-trial motions are currently pending with the NJ District Court. The 30-month stay under the Hatch-Waxman Act expires on November 15, 2010. A decision is expected by that time. Final approval by the FDA would provide each generic company authorization to distribute a generic aripiprazole product in the U.S., subject to various legal remedies for which Otsuka may apply including injunctive relief and damages.

It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of these lawsuits or their impact on the Company. If, however, a generic company were to launch "at risk" or if Otsuka were not to prevail in these lawsuits, generic competition would likely result in substantial decreases in the sales of ABILIFY* in the U.S., which would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and cash flows and could be material to financial condition.

ATRIPLA*

In April 2009, Teva filed an aNDA to manufacture and market a generic version of ATRIPLA*. ATRIPLA* is a single tablet three-drug regimen combining the Company’s SUSTIVA and Gilead’s TRUVADA*. As of this time, the Company’s patent rights covering SUSTIVA’s composition of matter and method of use have not been challenged. Teva sent Gilead a Paragraph IV

certification letter challenging two of the fifteen Orange Book listed patents for ATRIPLA*. In May 2009, Gilead filed a patent infringement action against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY). In January 2010, the Company received a notice that Teva amended its aNDA and is challenging eight additional Orange Book listed patents for ATRIPLA*. In March 2010, the Company and Merck, Sharp & Dohme Corp. filed a patent infringement action against Teva also in the SDNY relating to two U.S. Patents which claim crystalline or polymorph forms of efavirenz. In March 2010, Gilead filed two patent infringement actions against Teva in the SDNY relating to six Orange Book listed patents for ATRIPLA*. Discovery in these matters is ongoing. It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of these lawsuits or their impact on the Company.

REYATAZ

Teva has filed an aNDA to manufacture and market generic versions of all four REYATAZ dosage forms (100, 150, 200 and 300 mg). The Company received a Paragraph IV certification letter from Teva challenging the two Orange Book listed patents for REYATAZ. In December 2009, the Company and Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation (Novartis) filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Delaware District Court) against Teva for infringement of the two listed patents covering REYATAZ, which should trigger an automatic 30-month stay of approval of Teva’s aNDA. Subsequent patent infringement lawsuits were filed. Discovery in these matters is ongoing. It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of these lawsuits or their impact on the Company.

BARACLUDE

In August 2010, Teva filed an aNDA to manufacture and market generic versions of BARACLUDE. The Company received a Paragraph IV certification letter from Teva challenging the one Orange Book listed patent for BARACLUDE. In September 2010, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Delaware District Court against Teva for infringement of the listed patent covering BARACLUDE, which should trigger an automatic 30-month stay of approval of Teva’s aNDA. It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of this lawsuit or its impact on the Company.

SPRYCEL

In September 2010, Apotex filed an aNDA to manufacture and market generic versions of SPRYCEL. The Company received a Paragraph IV certification letter from Apotex challenging the four Orange Book listed patents for SPRYCEL, including the composition of matter patent. The Company is currently reviewing the certification letter.

GENERAL COMMERCIAL LITIGATION

Clayworth Litigation

As previously disclosed, the Company, together with a number of other pharmaceutical manufacturers, was named as a defendant in an action filed in California State Superior Court in Oakland, James Clayworth et al. v. Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, et al., alleging that the defendants conspired to fix the prices of pharmaceuticals by agreeing to charge more for their drugs in the U.S. than they charge outside the U.S., particularly Canada, and asserting claims under California’s Cartwright Act and unfair competition law. The plaintiffs sought trebled monetary damages, injunctive relief and other relief. In December 2006, the Court granted the Company and the other manufacturers’ motion for summary judgment based on the pass-on defense, and judgment was then entered in favor of defendants. In July 2008, judgment in favor of defendants was affirmed by the California Court of Appeals. In July 2010, the California Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeal’s judgment and the matter will be remanded to the Superior Court for further proceedings. It is not possible at this time reasonably to assess the outcome of this lawsuit or its impact on the Company in the event plaintiffs are successful on appeal.

RxUSA Wholesale Litigation

As previously disclosed, in July 2006, a complaint was filed by drug wholesaler RxUSA Wholesale, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, 15 other drug manufacturers, five drug wholesalers, two officers of defendant McKesson and a wholesale distribution industry trade group, RxUSA Wholesale, Inc. v. Alcon Labs., Inc., et al. The complaint alleges violations of Federal and New York antitrust laws, as well as various other laws. Plaintiff claims that defendants allegedly engaged in anti-competitive acts that resulted in the exclusion of plaintiff from the relevant market and seeks $586 million in damages before any trebling, and other relief. In September 2009, the District Court granted the Company’s and other defendants’ motions to dismiss. In August 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of this matter.

ANTITRUST LITIGATION

As previously disclosed, 18 lawsuits comprised of both individual suits and purported class actions have been filed against the Company in U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio, Western Division, by various plaintiffs, including pharmacy chains (individually and as assignees, in whole or in part, of certain wholesalers), various health and welfare benefit plans/funds and individual residents of various states. These lawsuits allege, among other things, that the purported settlement with Apotex of the patent infringement litigation violated the Sherman Act and related laws. Plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, permanent injunctive relief barring the Apotex settlement and/or monetary damages. The putative class actions filed on behalf of direct purchasers have been consolidated under the caption In re: Plavix Direct Purchaser Antitrust Litigation, and the putative class actions filed on behalf of indirect purchasers have been consolidated under the caption In re: Plavix Indirect Purchaser Antitrust Litigation. Amended complaints were filed on October 19, 2007. Defendants filed a consolidated motion to dismiss in December 2007. In March 2010, the District Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss with respect to all the direct purchaser claims. The motion to dismiss with respect to the indirect purchasers claims remains pending. In April 2010, the direct purchaser plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration with the District Court. It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of these lawsuits or their impact on the Company.

PRICING, SALES AND PROMOTIONAL PRACTICES LITIGATION AND INVESTIGATIONS

ABILIFY* State Attorneys General Investigation

In March 2009, the Company received a letter from the Delaware Attorney General’s Office advising of a multi-state coalition investigating whether certain ABILIFY* marketing practices violated those states’ consumer protection statutes. It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of this investigation or its potential impact on the Company.

AWP Litigation

As previously disclosed, the Company, together with a number of other pharmaceutical manufacturers, has been a defendant in a number of private class actions as well as suits brought by the attorneys general of various states. In these actions, plaintiffs allege that defendants caused the Average Wholesale Prices (AWPs) of their products to be inflated, thereby injuring government programs, entities and persons who reimbursed prescription drugs based on AWPs. The Company remains a defendant in four state attorneys general suits pending in state courts around the country. Beginning in August 2010, the Company was the defendant in a trial in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (Commonwealth Court), brought by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In September 2010, the jury issued a verdict for the Company, finding that the Company was not liable for fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation; however, the Commonwealth Court Judge issued a decision on a Pennsylvania consumer protection claim that did not go to the jury, finding the Company liable for $27.6 million and enjoining the Company from contributing to the provision of inflated AWPs. The Company has moved to vacate the decision and the Commonwealth has moved for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict or, in the alternative, for a new trial. These motions are currently pending before the Commonwealth Court.

As previously reported, one set of class actions were consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (AWP MDL). In August 2009, the District Court granted preliminary approval of a proposed settlement of the AWP MDL plaintiffs’ claims against the Company for $19 million, plus half the costs of class notice up to a maximum payment of $1 million. A final approval hearing is scheduled to occur in November 2010.

California 340B Litigation

As previously disclosed, in August 2005, the County of Santa Clara filed a purported class action against the Company and numerous other pharmaceutical manufacturers on behalf of itself and a putative class of other cities and counties in California, as well as the covered entities that purchased drugs pursuant to the 340B drug discount program (340B Entities), alleging that manufacturers did not provide proper discounts to 340B Entities. In May 2009, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (District Court) denied plaintiff’s motion, without prejudice, to certify the class. In September 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari on the issue of whether 340B Entities have standing to sue. The District Court had previously dismissed the case after finding that 340B Entities did not have standing, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court. The District Court Judge has stayed the case pending a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.

It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of this lawsuit, or its potential impact on the Company.

PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION

The Company is a party to various product liability lawsuits. As previously disclosed, in addition to lawsuits, the Company also faces unfiled claims involving its products.

PLAVIX*

As previously disclosed, the Company and certain affiliates of sanofi are defendants in a number of individual lawsuits claiming personal injury allegedly sustained after using PLAVIX*, most of which appear before the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (NJ District Court). As of September 30, 2010, the companies were defendants in over 20 actions before the NJ District Court and have executed tolling agreements with respect to unfiled claims by potential additional plaintiffs. It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcomes of these lawsuits or their potential impact on the Company.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

The Company is one of a number of defendants in a mass-tort litigation in which plaintiffs allege, among other things, that various hormone therapy products, including hormone therapy products formerly manufactured by the Company (ESTRACE*, Estradiol, DELESTROGEN* and OVCON*) cause breast cancer, stroke, blood clots, cardiac and other injuries in women, that the defendants were aware of these risks and failed to warn consumers. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was a defendant in over 300 lawsuits filed on behalf of approximately 500 plaintiffs in federal and state courts throughout the U.S. The Company has entered into a settlement in principle to resolve the claims of 80 plaintiffs. All of the Company’s hormone therapy products were sold to other companies between January 2000 and August 2001. It is not possible at this time reasonably to assess the outcome of the remaining lawsuits in which the Company is a party or their impact on the Company.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, the Company is a party to several environmental proceedings and other matters, and is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), for certain costs of investigating and/or remediating contamination resulting from past industrial activity at the Company’s current or former sites or at waste disposal or reprocessing facilities operated by third-parties.

CERCLA Matters

With respect to CERCLA matters for which the Company is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, the Company typically estimates potential costs based on information obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or counterpart state or foreign agency and/or studies prepared by independent consultants, including the total estimated costs for the site and the expected cost-sharing, if any, with other “potentially responsible parties,” and the Company accrues liabilities when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company estimated its share of future costs for these sites to be $66 million at September 30, 2010, which represents the sum of best estimates or, where no best estimate can reasonably be made, estimates of the minimal probable amount among a range of such costs (without taking into account any potential recoveries from other parties).

New Brunswick Facility – Environmental & Personal Injury Lawsuits

As previously disclosed, in May 2008, over 100 lawsuits were filed against the Company in Superior Court, Middlesex County, NJ, by or on behalf of current and former residents of New Brunswick, NJ who live or have lived adjacent to the Company’s New Brunswick facility. The complaints allege various personal injuries and property damage resulting from alleged soil and groundwater contamination on their property stemming from historical operations at the New Brunswick facility. In October 2008, the New Jersey Supreme Court granted Mass Tort status to these cases and transferred them to the New Jersey Superior Court in Atlantic County for centralized case management purposes. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this litigation. It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of these lawsuits, or the potential impact on the Company.

North Brunswick Township Board of Education

As previously disclosed, in October 2003, the Company was contacted by counsel representing the North Brunswick, NJ Board of Education (BOE) regarding a site where waste materials from E.R. Squibb and Sons may have been disposed from the 1940’s through the 1960’s. Fill material containing industrial waste and heavy metals in excess of residential standards was discovered during an expansion project at the North Brunswick Township High School, as well as at a number of neighboring residential properties and adjacent public park areas. In January 2004, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) sent the Company and others an information request letter about possible waste disposal at the site, to which the Company responded in March 2004. The BOE and the Township, as the current owners of the school property and the park, are conducting and jointly

financing soil remediation work and ground water investigation work under a work plan approved by NJDEP, and have asked the Company to contribute to the cost. The Company is actively monitoring the clean-up project, including its costs. To date, neither the school board nor the Township has asserted any claim against the Company. Instead, the Company and the local entities have negotiated an agreement to attempt to resolve the matter by informal means, including mediation and binding allocation as necessary. A central component of the agreement is the provision by the Company of interim funding to help defray cleanup costs and assure the work is not interrupted. The Company transmitted interim funding payments in December 2007 and November 2009. The parties commenced mediation in late 2008; however, those efforts were not successful and the parties have moved to a binding allocation process. In addition, in September 2009, the Township and BOE filed suits against several other parties alleged to have contributed waste materials to the site.

OTHER PROCEEDINGS

SEC Germany Investigation

As previously disclosed, in October 2004, the SEC notified the Company that it was conducting an informal inquiry into the activities of certain of the Company’s German pharmaceutical subsidiaries and its employees and/or agents. In October 2006, the SEC informed the Company that its inquiry had become formal. The SEC’s inquiry encompasses matters formerly under investigation by the German prosecutor in Munich, Germany, which have since been resolved. The Company understands the inquiry concerns potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company is cooperating with the SEC.

Medarex Shareholder Litigation

On July 22, 2009, the Company and Medarex announced the signing of a merger agreement providing for the acquisition of Medarex by the Company, through a tender offer, for $16.00 per share in cash. Following that announcement, certain Medarex shareholders filed similar lawsuits in state and federal court relating to this transaction against Medarex, the members of Medarex’s board of directors, and the Company.

Following the consolidation of the state court actions, on August 20, 2009, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU), pursuant to which the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle all of the state and federal actions. Pursuant to the agreements in the MOU, among other things, Medarex made certain supplemental disclosures during the tender offer period. The parties also agreed to present to the Superior Court of New Jersey, Mercer County (NJ Superior Court) a Stipulation of Settlement and any other documentation as may be required in order to obtain approval by the court of the settlement and the dismissal of the actions upon the terms set forth in the MOU. In July 2010, the proposed settlement was approved by the NJ Superior Court and a Final Judgment was entered on July 16, 2010. Several motions for reconsideration have been filed asking the Court to reconsider its approval of the settlement.

King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In November 2009, King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) and affiliated entities filed suit against ZymoGenetics, Inc. (ZymoGenetics), now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (see “—Note 18. Subsequent Events”), in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. King alleges that the Company has engaged in unfair competition, false advertising, trademark infringement, and related claims under federal law and Tennessee state law. King seeks various forms of relief, including damages and injunctive relief precluding the Company from making certain representations regarding King’s products and the Company’s RECOTHROM product. King also filed motions with the District Court seeking temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctive relief. In December 2009, the judge denied King’s motions for preliminary injunction, but the lawsuit continues. Trial in the case is currently projected to take place in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company has not recorded a liability related to this suit.

Note 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition of ZymoGenetics, Inc.

BMS acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of ZymoGenetics, Inc. (ZymoGenetics) in October 2010 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $885 million.

ZymoGenetics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic protein-based products for the treatment of human diseases. The companies have collaborated on the development of pegylated-interferon lambda, a novel interferon currently in Phase IIb development for the treatment of Hepatitis C infection. The acquisition provides the Company with full rights to develop and commercialize pegylated-interferon lambda and also brings proven capabilities with therapeutic proteins and revenue from RECOTHROM, an FDA approved specialty surgical biologic.

The Company is currently in the process of valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (which may be referred to as Bristol-Myers Squibb, BMS, the Company, we, our or us) is a global biopharmaceutical company, consisting of global pharmaceutical/biotechnology and international consumer medicines businesses, whose mission is to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. We license, manufacture, market, distribute and sell pharmaceutical products.

We completed the split-off of Mead Johnson Nutritional Company (Mead Johnson) in December 2009 in which we exchanged all of our shares of Mead Johnson for 269 million outstanding shares of our common stock. As such, the results of the Mead Johnson business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are now included in net earnings from discontinued operations.

Healthcare Reform

U.S. Healthcare Reform Legislation

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (HR 3590) and a reconciliation bill containing a package of changes to the healthcare bill were signed into law during March 2010. The new legislation makes extensive changes to the current system of healthcare insurance and benefits intended to broaden coverage and reduce costs. These bills significantly change how Americans receive healthcare coverage and how they pay for it. They also have a significant impact on companies, in particular those companies in the pharmaceutical industry and other healthcare related industries, including BMS.

We have experienced and will continue to experience additional financial costs and certain other changes to our business as the new healthcare law is implemented. The following are the most significant changes that will affect our Company:

•

Retroactive to January 1, 2010, minimum rebates on our Medicaid drug sales have increased from 15.1 percent to 23.1 percent. Medicaid rebates have also been extended to drugs used in risk-based Medicaid managed care plans beginning in March 2010. In addition, we will extend discounts retroactive to January 1, 2010 to certain critical access hospitals, cancer hospitals and other covered entities as required by the expansion of the 340B Drug Pricing Program under the Public Health Services Act.

•

Beginning in 2011, we will provide a 50 percent discount on our brand-name drugs to patients who fall within the Medicare Part D coverage gap, also referred to as the “Donut Hole.”

•

Beginning in 2011, we will pay an annual non-tax deductible fee to the federal government based on an allocation of our market share of branded prior year sales to certain government programs and agencies including Medicare, Medicaid, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense and TriCare. This fee is expected to be classified as an operating expense.

The new healthcare law also provides clarity about the process for approval of biosimilar biologic products in the U.S. Our qualifying biologic products will receive 12 years of data exclusivity, with a potential six-month pediatric extension, before a biosimilar company can enter the market. After we have marketed a biologic product for four years, a biosimilar manufacturer may challenge one or more of the patents for that product.

Higher rebates to Medicaid and Medicaid managed care plans reduced our net sales by $77 million and $205 million and pre-tax income by $60 million and $164 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Quarterly rebates may increase in the fourth quarter of 2010 as a result of additional discounts for the Medicaid managed care plans and expanded 340B program. With the addition of the new Medicare Part D “Donut Hole” discounts and annual pharmaceutical company fee in 2011, we expect the negative impact of healthcare reform in 2011 to be approximately twice the impact expected in 2010. The aggregate financial impact of healthcare reform over the next few years depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to pending implementation guidance, potential changes in sales volume eligible for the new rebates, discounts or fees, and the impact of cost sharing arrangements with certain alliance partners. A positive impact on our net sales from the expected increase in the number of people with healthcare coverage could potentially occur in the future, but is not expected until 2014 at the earliest.

We also recognized a one-time tax charge of $21 million in the first quarter of 2010 due to the elimination of the tax deductibility of a portion of our retiree healthcare costs.

Strategy

Over the past few years, we have transformed our Company into a focused biopharmaceutical company, a transformation that encompasses all areas of our business and operations. With the expected loss of exclusivity in the U.S. for our largest product, PLAVIX* (clopidogrel bisulfate), in November 2011, after which time we expect a rapid, precipitous decline in PLAVIX* net sales and a reduction in net income and operating cash flow, we are focused on building a foundation for the future. We plan to achieve this foundation by continuing to support and grow our currently marketed products, advancing our late-stage pipeline, managing our costs, and maintaining and improving our financial strength with a strong balance sheet. We are also focusing on emerging markets with the intent of developing and commercializing innovative products in key high-growth markets tailoring the approach to each market. We also remain focused on our acquisition and licensing strategy known as the “string-of-pearls.” In October 2010, we acquired ZymoGenetics, Inc. (ZymoGenetics) upon completion of a two-step merger process after a cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of its common stock. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $885 million. In October 2010, we also entered into two new licensing arrangements with Exelixis, Inc. (Exelixis) subject to regulatory approval.

As part of our strategy to manage costs, we continue to execute our productivity transformation initiative (PTI), through which we expect to realize $2.5 billion in annual cost savings and cost avoidance by the end of 2012 based on previous strategic plans for future years. To achieve this, we are reducing general and administrative operations by simplifying, standardizing and outsourcing certain processes and services, rationalizing our mature brands portfolio, consolidating our global manufacturing network while eliminating complexity and enhancing profitability, simplifying our geographic footprint and implementing a more efficient go-to-market model. We expect to realize approximately 90% of the PTI cost savings and cost avoidance on an annualized run-rate basis by the end of 2010. Because the expected $2.5 billion of annual cost savings and avoidance is based on previous strategic plans for future years and because our progress is measured on an annualized run-rate basis, the amount of cost savings and avoidance does not correlate directly with our results of operations. Approximately 60% of the expected $2.5 billion in annual cost savings and cost avoidance relates to marketing, selling and administrative expenses, 20-25% relates to costs of products sold, and 15-20% relates to research and development expenses. In addition to the PTI, we continue to review our cost structure with the intent to create a modernized, efficient and robust balance between building competitive advantages, securing innovative products and planning for the future.

Net sales remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and increased 4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Increased sales of PLAVIX* in the U.S. and BARACLUDE (entecavir) internationally as well as worldwide growth in various key products were offset by decreases in mature brand and other product sales and the impact of U.S. healthcare reform. We are beginning to see an impact from increased pricing pressures in Europe.

Segment income decreased 1% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and increased 3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The three month period was impacted by reduced equity income of affiliates due to decreased international PLAVIX* net sales from generic competition which more than offset reduced advertising and marketing spending to coincide with certain key brands’ product life cycles. For the nine month period, net sales growth and reduced advertising and marketing spending more than offset the negative impact from reduced equity income.

Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to BMS were impacted by segment results and specified items. Both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 benefitted from a lower effective tax rate than in prior periods.

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations increased 22% and 25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, primarily due to the reduction in the outstanding number of shares from the Mead Johnson split-off.

Non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations and related EPS information, are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items. Non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 26% and 22% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, after adjusting for specified items of $68 million and $52 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $309 million and $318 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For a detailed listing of all specified items and further information and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures, see “—Specified Items” and “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Cash flows from operating activities totaled $2.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Primary nonoperating uses of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities included dividend payments of $1.7 billion, common stock repurchases of $353 million and capital expenditures of $299 million.

We have received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding our manufacturing facility in Manati, Puerto Rico. The warning letter focuses on certain Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) processes and practices that the FDA identified during an inspection that are to be improved or remediated. It does not require any recall of product or inventory holds and we do not expect this to interrupt production of marketed products or investigational supplies. We have provided a response to the FDA warning letter including the actions we are taking, and expect that the Manati facility will be inspection-ready by the end of the year. If we are unable to adequately improve or remediate the GMP issues identified to the FDA’s satisfaction, we could face additional inspectional observations from the FDA requiring remediation and other potential negative consequences. In addition, the FDA has advised us that these GMP issues must be resolved prior to its granting approval of our pending Biologics License Application (BLA) for NULOJIX (belatacept). Any delay in the timing of when we expect the Manati facility to be inspection-ready could further delay a decision by the FDA on the BLA for NULOJIX. Please see “Part II—Other Information—Item 1A. Risk Factors” for more information.

Product and Pipeline Developments

The Company manages its research and development (R&D) programs on a portfolio basis, investing resources in each stage of research and development from early discovery through late-stage development. The Company continually evaluates its portfolio of R&D assets to ensure that there is an appropriate balance of early-stage and late-stage programs to support the future growth of the Company. We consider our R&D programs that have entered into Phase III development to be significant, as these programs constitute our late-stage development pipeline. These Phase III development programs include both investigational compounds in Phase III development for initial indications and marketed products that are in Phase III development for additional indications or formulations. Spending on these programs represents approximately 30-40% of our annual R&D expenses. No individual investigational compound or marketed product represented 10% or more of our R&D expenses in any of the last three years. While we do not expect all of our late-stage development programs to make it to market, our late-stage development programs are the R&D programs that could potentially have an impact on our revenue and earnings within the next few years. The following are the recent significant developments in our marketed products and our late-stage pipeline:

BARACLUDE (entecavir) – an oral antiviral agent for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B

•

In October 2010, the FDA approved the supplemental New Drug Application of BARACLUDE for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in adult patients with decompensated liver disease.

ONGLYZA (saxagliptin) – a once-daily oral tablet for the treatment of type 2 diabetes that is part of our strategic alliance with AstraZeneca PLC (AstraZeneca)

•

In July 2010, the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for a fixed dose combination of ONGLYZA and metformin HCL extended-release tablets as a once-daily treatment for adults with type 2 diabetes was validated by the European Medicines Agency.

ORENCIA (abatacept) – a fusion protein indicated for rheumatoid arthritis

•

In July 2010, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved the Japanese New Drug Application for ORENCIA for the treatment of adults with rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to existing treatment.

SPRYCEL (dasatinib) – an oral inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic, accelerated, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy, including GLEEVEC* (imatinib meslylate), which is part of our strategic alliance with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka).

•

In October 2010, the Company received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) for SPRYCEL for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia.

•

In July 2010, the Company submitted for review in Japan the supplemental New Drug Application for SPRYCEL for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia.

Ipilimumab – a monoclonal antibody currently in Phase III development for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. It is also being studied for other indications including lung cancer as well as adjuvant melanoma and hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

•

In August 2010, the FDA accepted for filing and review the Biologics License Application (BLA) for ipilimumab for the treatment of adult patients with advanced melanoma who have been previously treated. The application has been granted a priority review designation by the FDA with a stated action date of December 25, 2010.

•

The FDA’s Oncology Drug Advisory Committee will review the BLA for ipilimumab on December 2, 2010.

ELIQUIS* (apixaban) – an oral Factor Xa inhibitor in Phase III development for the prevention of venous thromboembolic disorders, the treatment of acute coronary syndrome and stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation that is part of our strategic alliance with Pfizer, Inc. (Pfizer)

•

In August 2010, the positive preliminary data from the AVERROES trial were presented at the European Society of Cardiology congress in Stockholm, Sweden. The preliminary data demonstrated that apixaban significantly reduced the relative risk of a composite stroke or systematic embolism by 54 percent without a significant increase in major bleeding, fatal bleeding and intracranial bleeding compared with aspirin in patients who were expected or demonstrated to be unsuitable for warfarin treatment. Minor bleeding was significantly increased.

•

After evaluating the preliminary data from the AVERROES trial, and after discussions with the FDA about the atrial fibrillation registrational program for apixaban, we and our alliance partner Pfizer have submitted the first module of an NDA in the U.S. for apixaban for an indication in the AVERROES patient population. The FDA has agreed to accept this NDA on a rolling basis. We expect to complete our NDA submission in the first quarter of 2011.

Dapagliflozin – an oral compound in Phase III development for the treatment of diabetes that is part of our strategic alliance with AstraZeneca

•

In September 2010, the Company and AstraZeneca announced results from a randomized, double blind Phase III clinical study of dapagliflozin at the 46^th European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting which demonstrated that the addition of dapagliflozin to glimepiride (a sulphonylurea) therapy produced significant reductions in glycosylated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c) in adult patients with type 2 diabetes compared to glimepiride alone. The study also demonstrated that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride achieved reductions in the secondary efficacy endpoints of change in total body weight, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels from baseline at week 24 compared to placebo plus glimepiride. More people taking dapagliflozin and glimepiride were able to achieve a target HbA1c of less than 7% compared to patients taking glimepiride alone. Also, drug-related adverse affects were reported at a similar rate between treatment groups, but signs, symptoms and other reports suggestive of genital tract infections, but not urinary tract infections, were more frequently reported in dapagliflozin treated subjects.

•

In September 2010, the Company and AstraZeneca also announced at the EASD results from a randomized, double-blind Phase III clinical study in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on metformin therapy alone. The study demonstrated dapagliflozin was non-inferior compared to glipizide in improving HbA1c when added to existing metformin therapy during a 52-week treatment period. The study also demonstrated that dapagliflozin plus metformin achieved significant reductions in key efficacy secondary endpoints: reduction in total body weight from baseline, compared with a weight gain on glipizide plus metformin therapy and a reduced number of patients reporting one or more hypoglycemic events. Also, frequencies of adverse events, serious adverse events and study discontinuations were comparable across treatment groups, but signs, symptoms and other reports suggestive of urinary tract or genital infections were more common in dapagliflozin treated subjects.

•

We have assessed the cardiovascular risk for dapagliflozin in accordance with FDA’s guidance for diabetes drug candidates and we believe the analysis supports submission in the U.S. We are planning to file regulatory submissions for dapagliflozin in both the U.S. and the European Union (EU) later this year or early next year.

NULOJIX (belatacept) – a fusion protein with novel immunosuppressive activity targeted at prevention of solid organ transplant rejection. The FDA accepted for filing and review our submission of a biologic license application for belatacept in September 2009.

•

We have submitted a response to the FDA’s complete response letter regarding the BLA for NULOJIX. The FDA has advised us that we must resolve the GMP issues raised in the FDA’s recent warning letter regarding our manufacturing facility in Manati, Puerto Rico prior to its granting approval of our pending BLA for NULOJIX. We currently expect that our Manati facility will be inspection-ready by the end of the year and that the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date for FDA action on the BLA on NULOJIX will be in the second quarter of 2011. See “Part II—Other Information—Item 1A. Risk Factors” for more information.

Three Months Results of Operations

Our results of continuing operations exclude the results of the Mead Johnson business prior to its split-off in December 2009. This business has been segregated from continuing operations and included in discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009, see “—Discontinued Operations” below.

Our results of continuing operations were as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
Dollars in Millions	2010			2009			% Change

Net Sales

The composition of the change in net sales was as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				2010 vs. 2009
	Net Sales				Analysis of % Change
Dollars in Millions	2010		2009		Total Change			Volume			Price			Foreign Exchange
U.S.	$	3,135	$	3,012		4	%		1	%		3	%		—
Non-U.S.		1,663		1,776		(6	)%		—			(3	)%		(3	)%

Total	$	4,798	$	4,788		—			1	%		—			(1	)%

While various key U.S. products contributed to the growth in net sales, the increase was primarily driven by increased sales of PLAVIX* which represented 49% of total U.S. net sales. U.S. net sales increases were offset by the impact of healthcare reform and decreased sales of ABILIFY* (aripiprazole), which were negatively impacted by the reduction in our contractual share of net sales recognized from 65% to 58%.

International net sales decreased 6%, including a 3% unfavorable foreign exchange impact. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were negatively impacted by mature brands divested in prior periods; a 16% reduction in PLAVIX* net sales primarily due to generic competition in comarketing countries; and increased pricing pressures in certain European countries.

In general, our business is not seasonal. For information on U.S. pharmaceutical prescriber demand, reference is made to the table within “—Estimated End-User Demand” below, which sets forth a comparison of changes in net sales to the estimated total prescription growth (for both retail and mail order customers) for certain of our key pharmaceuticals and new products. The U.S. and non-U.S. net sales are categorized based upon the location of the customer.

We recognize revenue net of various sales adjustments to arrive at net sales as reported in the consolidated statements of earnings. These adjustments are referred to as gross-to-net sales adjustments. The reconciliation of our gross sales to net sales by each significant category of gross-to-net sales adjustments was as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
Dollars in Millions	2010			2009
Gross Sales	$	5,360		$	5,220
Gross-to-Net Sales Adjustments
Prime Vendor Charge-Backs		(159	)		(131	)
Cash Discounts		(68	)		(64	)
Managed Healthcare Rebates and Other Contract Discounts		(131	)		(112	)
Medicaid Rebates		(114	)		(50	)
Sales Returns		(4	)		(31	)
Other Adjustments		(86	)		(44	)

Total Gross-to-Net Sales Adjustments		(562	)		(432	)

Net Sales	$	4,798		$	4,788

Gross-to-net sales adjustments as a percentage of gross sales were 10.5% in 2010 and 8.3% in 2009 and are typically correlated with gross sales trends, changes in sales mix and contractual and legislative discounts and rebates.

The enactment of healthcare reform in March 2010 impacted the Medicaid rebates adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to the increase in the minimum Medicaid rebate on drug sales from 15.1% to 23.1% retroactive to January 1, 2010. The 2009 Medicaid rebates were impacted by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services policy group’s approval of the Company’s revised calculations for determining Medicaid rebates for the three year period 2002 through 2004, resulting in a $16 million reduction in the Medicaid liability for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Managed healthcare rebates and other contract discount adjustments were impacted by the extension of the Medicaid rebate rate to drugs sold to risk-based Medicaid managed care organizations. Expected future increases in gross-to-net sales adjustments related to healthcare reform are further discussed in “—Executive Summary—Healthcare Reform” above.

Net sales of key products represented 85% and 81% of total net sales in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The following table details U.S. and international net sales by key product, the percentage change from the prior period and the foreign exchange impact when compared to the prior period.

PLAVIX^* — a platelet aggregation inhibitor that is part of our alliance with sanofi-aventis (sanofi)

•

U.S. net sales increased primarily due to higher average net selling prices. Estimated total U.S. prescription demand decreased 2%.

•

International net sales continue to be impacted by the launch of generic clopidogrel products in the EU. This has a negative impact on both our net sales as it relates to our EU sales in comarketing countries and our equity in net income of affiliates as it relates to our share of sales from our partnership with sanofi in Europe and Asia. We expect continued erosion of PLAVIX* net sales in the EU, which will impact both our international net sales and our equity in net income of affiliates.

•

See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 17. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies—PLAVIX* Litigation,” for further discussion on PLAVIX* exclusivity litigation in both the U.S. and the EU.

AVAPRO*/AVALIDE* (known in the EU as APROVEL*/KARVEA*) — an angiotensin II receptor blocker for the treatment of hypertension and diabetic nephropathy that is also part of the sanofi alliance

(Gilead)

•

U.S. net sales increased primarily due to higher demand as well as higher average net selling prices. Estimated total U.S. prescription demand increased 6%.

•

International net sales were negatively impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange partially offset by higher demand.

BARACLUDE — an oral antiviral agent for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B

•

Sold primarily in international markets, net sales increased mainly due to higher demand.

•

U.S. prescription demand increased 13%.

ERBITUX* — a monoclonal antibody designed to exclusively target and block the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor, which is expressed on the surface of certain cancer cells in multiple tumor types as well as normal cells and is currently indicated for use against colorectal cancer and head and neck cancer. ERBITUX* is part of our strategic alliance with Lilly

•

Sold almost exclusively in the U.S., net sales decreased primarily due to lower demand.

SPRYCEL — an oral inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases, for the treatment of adults with chronic, accelerated, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy, including GLEEVEC* (imatinib meslylate), which is part of our strategic alliance with Otsuka

•

U.S. net sales increased primarily due to higher average net selling prices and increased demand. Estimated total U.S. demand increased 5%.

•

International net sales increased primarily due to higher demand.

IXEMPRA — a microtubule inhibitor for the treatment of patients with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer and is part of our strategic alliance with Otsuka

•

Worldwide net sales were flat.

ABILIFY* — an antipsychotic agent for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar mania disorder and major depressive disorder and is part of the Company’s strategic alliance with Otsuka

•

U.S. net sales decreased primarily due to the reduction in our contractual share of net sales recognized from 65% to 58% and increased Medicaid rebates from healthcare reform. The decrease was partially offset by higher average net selling prices. Estimated total U.S. prescription demand increased 3%.

•

International net sales increased primarily due to increased prescription demand.

ORENCIA — a fusion protein indicated for rheumatoid arthritis

•

U.S. net sales increased due to increased demand and higher average net selling prices.

•

International net sales increased primarily due to higher demand.

ONGLYZA — a once-daily oral tablet for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

•

Worldwide net sales increased from demand generated since the initial launch of ONGLYZA in various countries, including the U.S., beginning in the third quarter of 2009.

Mature Brands and Other Products — includes products which lost their exclusivity in major markets and over the counter brands

•

International net sales decreased due to continued generic erosion of certain brands including TAXOL (paclitaxel) and PRAVACHOL (pravastatin sodium), lower average net selling prices in Europe, the year over year impact of the rationalization and divestitures of our non-strategic product portfolio and lower demand for certain over the counter products.

The estimated U.S. prescription change data provided throughout this report includes information only from the retail and mail order channels and does not reflect product demand within other channels such as hospitals, home health care, clinics, federal facilities including VA hospitals, and long-term care, among others. The data is provided by Wolters Kluwer Health (WK), except for SPRYCEL, and based on the Source Prescription Audit which is a product of WK's own recordkeeping and projection processes. As such, the data is subject to the inherent limitations of estimates based on sampling and may include a margin of error.

The change in SPRYCEL demand is calculated based upon tablets sold though retail and mail order channels based upon data obtained from the IMS Health (IMS) National Sales Perspectives Audit, which is a product of IMS’ own recordkeeping and projection processes. As such, the data is subject to the inherent limitations of estimates based on sampling and may include a margin of error.

We continuously seek to improve the quality of our estimates of prescription change amounts and ultimate patient/consumer demand by reviewing the calculation methodologies employed, and analyzing internal and third-party data. We expect to continue to review and refine our methodologies and processes for calculation of these estimates and will monitor the quality of our own and third parties’ data used in such calculations.

We calculated the estimated total U.S. prescription change on a weighted-average basis to reflect the fact that mail order prescriptions include a higher average volume of product supplied per dispensed prescription, compared to retail prescriptions. Mail order prescriptions typically reflect a 90-day prescription whereas retail prescriptions typically reflect a 30-day prescription. The calculation is derived by multiplying mail order prescription data by a factor that approximates three and adding to this the retail prescriptions. We believe that a calculation of estimated total U.S. prescription change based on this weighted-average approach provides a superior estimate of total prescription demand, in retail and mail order channels. We use this methodology for our internal demand reporting.

Estimated End-User Demand

The following table sets forth for each of our key products sold in the U.S. for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year: (i) total U.S. net sales for the period; (ii) change in reported U.S. net sales for the period; (iii) estimated total U.S. prescription change for the retail and mail order channels calculated by us based on third-party data on a weighted-average basis and (iv) months of inventory on hand in the wholesale distribution channel.

Pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Consent Order described in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we monitor the level of inventory on hand in the U.S. wholesaler distribution channel and outside of the U.S. in the direct customer distribution channel. We disclose products with levels of inventory in excess of one month on hand or expected demand, subject to a de minimis exception. In the case of the Company’s U.S. Pharmaceuticals products at September 30, 2010, there were no products to disclose. The following are international products that had estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel in excess of one month on hand at June 30, 2010:

VIDEX/VIDEX EC, an antiviral product, had approximately 1.2 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers compared to approximately 1.3 months of inventory on hand at December 31, 2009. The level of inventory on hand was primarily due to government purchasing patterns in Brazil.

FERVEX, a cold and flu product, had approximately 5.5 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers compared to approximately 3.9 months of inventory on hand at December 31, 2009. The increased level of inventory on hand was primarily due to lower demand attributed to a mild flu season.

ONGLYZA had approximately 1.2 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers. The level of inventory on hand was due to the recent launch of ONGLYZA in Brazil and Spain.

In the U.S., for all products sold exclusively through wholesalers or through distributors, we determined our months on hand estimates using inventory levels of product on hand and the amount of out-movement provided by our three largest wholesalers, which account for approximately 90% of total gross sales of U.S. products, and provided by some of our distributors. Factors that may influence our estimates include generic competition, seasonality of products, wholesaler purchases in light of increases in wholesaler list prices, new product launches, new warehouse openings by wholesalers and new customer stockings by wholesalers. In addition, these estimates are calculated using third-party data, which may be impacted by their record keeping processes.

For products in the U.S. that are not sold exclusively through wholesalers or distributors and for our business outside of the U.S., we have significantly more direct customers. Limited information on direct customer product level inventory and corresponding out-movement information and the reliability of third-party demand information, where available, varies widely. In cases where direct customer product level inventory, ultimate patient/consumer demand or out-movement data does not exist or is otherwise not available, we have developed a variety of other methodologies to estimate such data, including using such factors as historical sales made to direct customers and third-party market research data related to prescription trends and end-user demand. Accordingly, we rely on a variety of methods to estimate direct customer product level inventory and to calculate months on hand. Factors that may affect our estimates include generic competition, seasonality of products, direct

customer purchases in light of price increases, new product or product presentation launches, new warehouse openings by direct customers, new customer stockings by direct customers and expected direct customer purchases for governmental bidding situations. As such, all of the information required to estimate months on hand in the direct customer distribution channel for non-U.S. businesses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 is not available prior to the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We will disclose any product with levels of inventory in excess of one month on hand or expected demand for the current quarter, subject to a de minimis exception, in the next annual report on Form 10-K.

Geographic Areas

In general, our products are available in most countries in the world. The largest markets are the U.S., France, Canada, Japan, Italy, Spain, Germany, China and the United Kingdom. Our net sales by geographic area, based on the location of the customer, were as follows:

For discussion of U.S. net sales variances, see “—Net Sales” above.

Net sales in Europe decreased primarily due to a 9% unfavorable foreign exchange impact due to a stronger U.S. dollar compared to the prior period against the Euro and the British pound. In addition, continued reduction in sales of mature brands and other products and reduced net sales from continued generic erosion of PLAVIX* and AVAPRO* were partially offset by growth in various key products including ABILIFY*, BARACLUDE and the HIV portfolio (which includes REYATAZ and the SUSTIVA Franchise). Due to the heightening financial challenges in European countries, healthcare payers, including government agencies, continue to explore ways to reduce the cost of healthcare including actions that would directly or indirectly impose additional price reductions and support the expanded use of generic drugs. These measures include, but are not limited to, mandatory discounts, rebates and other price reductions on product sales.

Net sales in Latin America, the Middle East and Africa decreased slightly as reduced sales of mature brands and other products were mostly offset by increased sales of various key brands.

Net sales in Japan, Asia Pacific and Canada were impacted by a 7% favorable foreign exchange impact. Increased sales of BARACLUDE and SPRYCEL were more than offset by decreased net sales of PLAVIX* and mature brands and other products due to increasing generic competition.

Emerging Markets are Brazil, Russia, India, China and Turkey. Net sales in Emerging Markets increased primarily due to a 2% favorable foreign exchange impact in addition to increased sales of certain key products including REYATAZ and SPRYCEL which more than offset reduced sales of mature brands and other products.

Net sales in Other decreased primarily due to divestitures.

No country outside the U.S. contributed more than 10% of our total net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Cost of products sold

The decrease in cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributed to lower manufacturing costs, a more favorable product mix and favorable foreign exchange partially offset by the reduction in our share of ABILIFY* sales related to the extended commercialization and manufacturing agreement for ABILIFY*, and the collaboration fee paid to Otsuka related to the SPRYCEL and IXEMPRA Oncology collaboration beginning in 2010.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, our portion of ABILIFY*’s U.S. net sales recognized decreased from 65% to 58%. In addition, we paid a collaboration fee to Otsuka, totaling $30 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, under the Oncology collaboration for SPRYCEL and IXEMPRA. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2. Alliances and Collaborations” for further discussion.

Marketing, selling and administrative

The decrease was primarily due to Otsuka’s reimbursement of certain ABILIFY*, SPRYCEL and IXEMPRA operating expenses, beginning January 1, 2010, the reduction in our ABILIFY* sales force, as Otsuka established its own sales force for the promotion of the above products, and a reduction in sales related activities of certain key products to coincide with their respective life cycles, offset by increased spending for the ONGLYZA launch and other pipeline products. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2. Alliances and Collaborations” for further discussion.

Advertising and product promotion

The decrease was attributed to reduced spending on the promotion of certain key products to coincide with their product life cycle and Otsuka’s reimbursement of certain ABILIFY*, SPRYCEL and IXEMPRA advertising and product promotion expenses partially offset by increased spending for the ONGLYZA launch and other pipeline products.

Research and development

Research and development remained flat. There were no upfront or milestone payments in the third quarters of 2010 and 2009.

Provision for restructuring

The changes in provision for restructuring were primarily attributable to the timing of certain PTI and continuous improvement initiatives.

Litigation expense

Litigation expense in 2010 is related to additional reserves established for certain average wholesale prices (AWP) litigation. For additional information on litigation matters, see “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 17. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies.”

Equity in net income of affiliates

The decrease was attributed to the continued impact of generic clopidogrel competition on international PLAVIX* net sales. This unfavorable trend is expected to continue in future periods. For additional information, see “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2. Alliances and Collaborations.”

•

Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower interest rates.

•

Interest income increased primarily due to higher cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances.

•

Other income received from alliance partners includes income earned from the sanofi partnership and amortization of certain upfront licensing and milestone receipts related to our alliances. The decrease was due to sanofi purchasing less inventory from us as a result of reduced sales in Australia and Mexico due to generic competition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations and related EPS information, are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that due to their substantive and unusual nature are evaluated on an individual basis. Non-GAAP information is intended to portray the results of our baseline performance which include the discovery, development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of pharmaceutical products on a global basis and to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of our past financial performance and prospects for the future. For example, non-GAAP earnings and EPS information is an indication of our baseline performance before items that are considered by us to not be reflective of our ongoing results. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators we use as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting for future periods. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted EPS prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Among the items in GAAP measures but excluded for purposes of determining adjusted earnings and other adjusted measures are: charges related to implementation of the PTI; gains or losses from the purchase or sale of businesses, product lines or investments; discontinued operations; restructuring and other exit costs; accelerated depreciation charges; asset impairments; charges and recoveries relating to significant legal proceedings; upfront licensing and milestone payments for in-licensing of products that have not achieved regulatory approval, which are immediately expensed; special initiative funding to the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation; and significant tax events. For a detailed listing of items that are excluded from the non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations, see “—Specified Items” above. Similar charges or gains for some of these items have been recognized in prior periods and it is reasonably possible that they will reoccur in future periods.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP follows:

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes was 19.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 23.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 7. Income Taxes” for further discussion.

Discontinued Operations

As discussed in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we completed the split-off of Mead Johnson in December 2009. The results of the Mead Johnson business are included in net earnings from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 5. Discontinued Operations” for further discussion.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest is primarily related to our partnerships with sanofi for the territory covering the Americas related to PLAVIX* net sales. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2. Alliances and Collaborations” for further discussion. The increase in noncontrolling interest corresponds to increased profitability of PLAVIX* in the U.S. Net earnings from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interest primarily relates to the 16.9% of Mead Johnson owned by the public prior to the split-off. A summary of noncontrolling interest is as follows:

Nine Months Results of Operations

Our results of continuing operations exclude the results of the Mead Johnson business prior to its split-off in December 2009. This business has been segregated from continuing operations and included in discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, see “—Discontinued Operations” below.

PLAVIX* represented 49% of total U.S. net sales and contributed 81% of total growth in U.S. net sales. Most of the other key U.S. products also contributed to the growth in net sales.

International net sales remained flat, including a 1% favorable foreign exchange impact due to growth in various key products, including BARACLUDE (32%), the HIV portfolio (9%), ABILIFY* (19%), SPRYCEL (33%) and ORENCIA (40%). Offsetting these increases were decreased sales of mature brands and other products and a 10% reduction in PLAVIX* net sales (including a 5% favorable foreign exchange impact).

The reconciliation of our gross sales to net sales by each significant category of gross-to-net sales adjustments was as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
Dollars in Millions	2010			2009
Gross Sales	$	15,932		$	15,020
Gross-to-Net Sales Adjustments
Prime Vendor Charge-Backs		(427	)		(376	)

Total Gross-to-Net Sales Adjustments		(1,559	)		(1,245	)

Net Sales	$	14,373		$	13,775

Gross-to-net sales adjustments as a percentage of gross sales were 9.8% in 2010 and 8.3% in 2009 and are typically correlated with gross sales trends, changes in sales mix and contractual and legislative discounts and rebates.

The enactment of U.S. healthcare reform in March 2010 impacted the Medicaid rebates adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to the increase in the minimum Medicaid rebate on drug sales from 15.1% to 23.1% retroactive to January 1, 2010. The 2009 Medicaid rebates were impacted by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services policy group’s approval of the Company’s revised calculations for determining Medicaid rebates for the three year period 2002 through 2004, resulting in a $50 million reduction in the Medicaid liability in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Managed healthcare rebates and other contract discount adjustments were impacted by the extension of the Medicaid rebate rate to drugs sold to risk-based Medicaid managed care organizations. Expected future increases to gross-to-net sales adjustments related to U.S. healthcare reform are further discussed in “—Executive Summary—Healthcare Reform” above.

Prime vendor charge-backs and managed healthcare rebates and other contract discounts increased primarily due to higher average PLAVIX* selling prices and increased sales. Sales returns decreased primarily due to reduced provisions for various mature brands based upon fewer returns than initially expected. Other adjustments increased primarily due to incremental discounts in the EU and increased promotional discount programs.

The activities and ending balances of each significant category of gross-to-net sales reserve adjustments were as follows:


Dollars in Millions	Prime Vendor Charge-Backs			Cash Discounts			Managed Healthcare Rebates and Other Contract Discounts			Medicaid Rebates			Sales Returns			Other Adjustments			Total

PLAVIX^*

•

U.S. net sales increased primarily due to higher average net selling prices. Estimated total U.S. prescription demand remained flat.

•

International net sales continue to be impacted by the launch of generic clopidogrel products in the EU. This has a negative impact on both our net sales as it relates to our EU sales in comarketing countries and our equity in net income of affiliates as it relates to our share of sales from our partnership with sanofi in Europe and Asia. The impact was partially offset by favorable foreign exchange. We expect continued erosion of PLAVIX* net sales in the EU, which will impact both our international net sales and our equity in net income of affiliates.

Net sales in Europe decreased primarily due to a 2% unfavorable foreign exchange impact. In addition, continued reduction in sales of mature brands and other products and reduced net sales from continued generic erosion of PLAVIX* were partially offset by growth in various key products including ABILIFY*, the HIV portfolio, BARACLUDE, SPRYCEL and ORENCIA.

Net sales in Latin America, the Middle East and Africa increased primarily due to a 2% favorable foreign exchange impact. In addition, increased sales of various key products, including, SPRYCEL, BARACLUDE, REYATAZ and ORENCIA were more than offset by reduced sales of mature brands and other products.

Net sales in Japan, Asia Pacific and Canada increased primarily due to a 10% favorable foreign exchange impact. Increased sales of various key products, including BARACLUDE and SPRYCEL, were offset by decreased net sales of PLAVIX* and mature brands and other products, including TAXOL, due to increasing generic competition.

Net sales in Emerging Markets increased primarily due to a 5% favorable foreign exchange impact in addition to increased sales of REYATAZ, BARACLUDE, SPRYCEL and ABILIFY*. These increases more than offset decreased sales of mature brands and other products.

Net sales in Other decreased primarily due to divestitures.

No country outside the U.S. contributed more than 10% of our total net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Total Expenses	$	9,715	$	9,493		2%		67.6%		68.9%

Cost of products sold

Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales remained flat as lower manufacturing costs were offset by the reduction in our share of ABILIFY* sales related to the extended commercialization and manufacturing agreement for ABILIFY* and the collaboration fee paid to Otsuka under the SPRYCEL and IXEMPRA Oncology collaboration beginning in 2010.

Marketing, selling and administrative

The decrease was primarily attributed to Otsuka’s reimbursement of certain ABILIFY*, SPRYCEL and IXEMPRA operating expenses, beginning January 1, 2010, the reduction in our ABILIFY* sales force, as Otsuka established its own sales force for the promotion of the above products, and a reduction in sales related activities of certain key products to coincide with their respective life cycles, offset by increased spending for the ONGLYZA launch and other pipeline products.

Advertising and product promotion

Research and development

The increase was attributed to additional support of our maturing pipeline and compounds obtained from our string-of-pearls strategy and a $17 million payment to Exelixis to end our development collaboration for the experimental cancer drug XL184 partially offset by decreased upfront licensing and milestone payments. Upfront licensing and milestone payments of $55 million were paid to Allergan and PDL BioPharma Inc. during the first nine months of 2010 and $174 million were paid to ZymoGenetics, Nissan and Albany Molecular in the first nine months of 2009.

Provision for restructuring

The changes in provision for restructuring were primarily attributable to the timing of the implementation of certain PTI and continuous improvement initiatives.

Litigation expense

Litigation expense in 2010 is related to additional reserves established for certain average wholesale prices (AWP) litigation. The 2009 expense was primarily due to the establishment of a $125 million reserve related to securities litigation. For further details refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 17. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies.”

Equity in net income of affiliates

The decrease was attributed to the continued impact of generic clopidogrel competition on international PLAVIX* net sales.

We maintain a significant level of working capital, which was approximately $8.1 billion at September 30, 2010 and $7.6 billion at December 31, 2009. In 2010 and future periods, we expect cash generated by our operations, together with existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and borrowings from the capital markets, to be sufficient to cover cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures, strategic alliances and acquisitions, including $885 million for the acquisition of ZymoGenetics in October 2010, milestone payments, dividends paid in the U.S. and common stock repurchases.

Our investment portfolio contains non-current marketable securities including corporate debt securities. These investments are subject to changes in fair value as a result of interest rate fluctuations and other market factors, which may impact our results of operations. Our investment policy places limits on these investments and the amount and time to maturity of investments with any institution. The policy also requires that investments are only made with highly rated corporate and financial institutions. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities.”

We continue to monitor the potential impact of the deteriorating economic conditions in certain European countries further discussed in “—Geographic Areas” above and the related impact on prescription trends, pricing discounts, creditworthiness of our customers, and our ability to collect outstanding receivables from such countries.

We have a $2.0 billion five year revolving credit facility from a syndicate of lenders maturing in December 2011, which is extendable with the consent of the lenders. This facility contains customary terms and conditions, including a financial covenant whereby the ratio of consolidated net debt to consolidated capital cannot exceed 50% at the end of each quarter. We have been in compliance with this covenant since the inception of this facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under this revolving credit facility at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

As an additional source of liquidity, we sell trade accounts receivables, principally from non-U.S. governments and hospital customers primarily in Japan, Italy, Portugal and Spain, to third parties. The receivables are sold on a nonrecourse basis and approximated $674 million and $343 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our sales agreements do not allow for recourse in the event of uncollectibility and we do not retain interest to the underlying asset once sold.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held outside the U.S. was approximately $7.4 billion at September 30, 2010 and $5.3 billion at December 31, 2009 which is either used to fund non-U.S. operations or repatriated back to the U.S., in which case taxes on those amounts are already reserved. Cash repatriations are subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions and may be subject to withholding and other taxes.

Credit Ratings

Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) long-term and short-term credit ratings are currently A2 and Prime-1, respectively, and their long-term credit rating remains on stable outlook. Standard & Poor’s (S&P) long-term and short-term credit ratings are currently A+ and A-1, respectively, and their long-term credit rating remains on stable outlook. Fitch Ratings (Fitch) long-term and short-term credit ratings are currently A+ and F1, respectively, and their long-term credit rating changed in August from stable to negative outlook. Our credit ratings are considered investment grade. These ratings for long-term securities designate that we have a low default risk but are somewhat susceptible to adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions. These ratings for short-term obligations designate that we have the strongest capacity for timely repayment.

Cash Flows

The following is a discussion of cash flow activities:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
Dollars in Millions	2010			2009
Cash flow provided by/(used in):
Operating activities	$	2,896		$	2,721
Investing activities		(1,333	)		(3,353	)
Financing activities		(1,679	)		(1,011	)

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities represents the cash receipts and cash disbursements related to all of our activities other than investing activities and financing activities. Operating cash flow is derived by adjusting net earnings for:

•

Noncontrolling interest;

•

Non-cash operating items such as depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and stock-based compensation charges;

•

Gains and losses attributed to investing and financing activities such as gains and losses on the sale of product lines and businesses; and

•

Changes in operating assets and liabilities which reflect timing differences between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in results of operations.

The net impact of the changes in operating assets and liabilities, which are discussed in more detail below, include changes in receivables, inventories, deferred income, accounts payable, income taxes receivable/payable and other operating assets and liabilities.

The net impact of the changes in operating assets and liabilities aggregated to a net cash outflow of $685 million and $587 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These items included the impact of changes in receivables, inventories, deferred income, accounts payable, income taxes receivable/payable and other operating assets and liabilities which are discussed in more detail below.

We continue to maximize our operating cash flows with our working capital initiative designed to continue to improve working capital items that are most directly affected by changes in sales volume, such as receivables, inventories and accounts payable. Those improvements are being driven by several actions including additional non-recourse factoring of non-US trade receivables, revised contractual payment terms with customers and vendors, enhanced collection processes and various supply chain initiatives designed to optimize inventory levels. Progress in this area is monitored each period and is a component of our annual incentive plan. The following summarizes certain working capital components expressed as a percentage of trailing twelve months’ net sales:


Dollars in Millions	September 30, 2010			% of Trailing Twelve Month Net Sales		December 31, 2009			% of Trailing Twelve Month Net Sales
Net trade receivables	$	1,965			10.1%	$	1,897			10.1%
Inventories		1,369			7.1%		1,413			7.5%
Accounts payable		(1,725	)		(8.9)%		(1,711	)		(9.1)%

Total	$	1,609			8.3%	$	1,599			8.5%

During the first nine months of 2010, changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net cash outflow of $685 million which was impacted by:

•

Cash outflows from other operating assets and liabilities ($417 million) primarily related to the pension funding in excess of current year expense ($336 million) and decreases in accrued bonuses and salaries due to the timing of payments ($57 million);

•

Cash outflows from U.S. and foreign income tax payable ($187 million) primarily attributed to timing of tax payment;

•

Cash outflows from receivables ($122 million) primarily attributed to the timing of cash receipts.

In the first nine months of 2009, changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net cash outflow of $587 million which was impacted by:

•

Cash outflows from other operating assets and liabilities ($1.1 billion) primarily related to pension funding in excess of current year expense ($517 million), alliance payment to Otsuka which will be amortized as a reduction of net sales through the ABILIFY* extension period ($400 million) and decreases in accrued bonuses and salaries due to the timing of payments ($111 million);

•

Cash inflows from accounts payable ($228 million) primarily attributed to the timing of vendor and alliance payments, as well as the impact of the above noted working capital initiative;

•

Cash inflows from deferred income ($135 million) mainly due to the milestone payments received from Pfizer ($150 million) and AstraZeneca ($100 million), partially offset by amortization; and

•

Cash inflows from receivables ($77 million) primarily attributed to additional factoring of non-U.S. trade receivables.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 billion in the first nine months of 2010 and included:

•

Net purchases of marketable securities ($1.1 billion); and

•

Capital expenditures ($299 million).

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.4 billion in the first nine months of 2009 and included:

•

Purchase of Medarex ($2.2 billion);

•

Net purchases of marketable securities ($717 million);

•

Capital expenditures ($534 million); and

•

Proceeds from the divestiture of mature brand businesses ($85 million), including the Pakistan business ($32 million), other Middle Eastern manufacturing businesses ($17 million) and various trademarks ($31 million).

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.7 billion in the first nine months of 2010 and included:

•

Dividend payments ($1.7 billion); and

•

Repurchases of common stock ($353 million); partially offset by

•

Net proceeds from the exercise of stock options ($211 million); and

•

Net proceeds from the termination of interest rate swap agreements ($98 million).

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.0 billion in the first nine months of 2009 and included:

•

Dividend payments ($1.9 billion); and

•

Repurchase of 5.875% Notes due 2036 ($67 million), 7.15% Notes due 2023 ($44 million) and 6.8% Notes due 2026 ($21 million); partially offset by

•

Net proceeds from the Mead Johnson initial public offering ($782 million); and

•

Net proceeds from the termination of interest rate swap agreements ($194 million).

Dividends declared per common share were $0.96 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $0.93 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We paid $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion in dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The decrease in total dividends, despite the per share increase, is primarily attributed to the 269 million share reduction from the Mead Johnson split-off. Dividend decisions are made on a quarterly basis by our Board of Directors.

Critical Accounting Policies

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (including documents incorporated by reference) and other written and oral statements we make from time to time contain certain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as “should”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “target”, “may”, “project”, “guidance”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. One can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from current expectations. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, our goals, plans and projections regarding our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, market position, product development, product approvals, sales efforts, expenses, performance or results of current and anticipated products and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results, which are based on current expectations that involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this report and in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.

Although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For a discussion of our market risk, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For information regarding executions of fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts, see “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 16. Financial Instruments.”

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information pertaining to legal proceedings can be found in “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 17. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies,” to the interim consolidated financial statements, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K except for the following:

We have received a warning letter from the FDA and we may not be able to timely and adequately address the manufacturing issues raised in the warning letter.

We have received a warning letter from the FDA regarding our manufacturing facility in Manati, Puerto Rico. The warning letter focuses on certain GMP processes and practices, which the FDA identified during an inspection, that are to be improved or remediated. We have provided a response to the warning letter and expect that the Manati facility will be inspection-ready by the end of the year. If we are unable to timely and adequately improve or remediate the GMP issues identified to the FDA’s satisfaction, we could be subject to additional inspectional observations by the FDA requiring remediation. If any of these observations are serious, we could face additional negative consequences including a temporary delay in production at the facility for further corrective action.

In addition, the FDA has advised us that these GMP issues must be resolved prior to its granting approval of our pending Biologics License Application (BLA) for NULOJIX (belatacept). Any delay in the timing of when we expect the Manati facility to be inspection-ready could further delay a decision by the FDA on the BLA for NULOJIX.

The resolution of manufacturing issues with the FDA discussed in this Form 10-Q, as well as the potential impact of those issues on our revenues and earnings, are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, including the timing, scope and duration of a resolution of the manufacturing issues, will depend on our ability to address the issues identified in the FDA’s warning letter.
