NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

A. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) can be condensed or omitted.

Balance sheet amounts and operating results for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. are as of and for the three and nine months ended August 26, 2012, and August 28, 2011. We have made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior-period amounts to the current presentation, primarily related to certain inventories (see Note 8. Inventories) and the reclassification of certain investments (see Note 7. Financial Instruments).

On August 13, 2012, we filed a registration statement with the SEC for the potential initial public offering (IPO) of up to a 20% ownership stake in our Animal Health business, Zoetis Inc. (Zoetis).

On April 23, 2012, we announced that we entered into an agreement to sell our Nutrition business to Nestlé. As a result, beginning in the second quarter of 2012, we report the operating results of the Nutrition business as Discontinued operations––net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. In addition, the assets and liabilities associated with this business are reported as Assets of discontinued operations and other assets held for sale and Liabilities of discontinued operations, as appropriate, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 2B. Acquisitions and Divestitures: Divestitures).

On August 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our Capsugel business. The operating results and the gain on the sale of this business are reported as Discontinued operations––net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 (see Note 2B. Acquisitions and Divestitures: Divestitures).

On January 31, 2011, we acquired King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) and in accordance with our domestic and international reporting periods, our condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 reflect approximately eight months of King’s U.S. operations and approximately seven months of King’s international operations (for additional information, see Note 2A. Acquisitions and Divestitures: Acquisitions).

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.

We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

B. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The provisions of the following new accounting and disclosure standards were adopted as of January 1, 2012:

Presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements. As a result of adopting this new standard, we have presented separate Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
An amendment to the guidelines on the measurement and disclosure of fair value that is consistent between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The adoption of this new standard did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

(UNAUDITED)

C. Fair Value

Our fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:
Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs).
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable (Level 2 inputs).
Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

A. Acquisitions

Nexium Over-the-Counter Rights

On August 13, 2012, we announced that we entered into an agreement with AstraZeneca for the over-the-counter (OTC) rights for Nexium, a leading prescription drug currently approved to treat the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired the exclusive global rights to market Nexium for the approved OTC indications. We made an upfront payment of $250 million to AstraZeneca, and AstraZeneca is eligible to receive milestone payments of up to $550 million based on product launches and level of sales as well as royalty payments based on sales. The upfront payment was expensed and included in Research and development expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income. A marketing authorization application for OTC Nexium in a 20 mg tablet form was filed with the European Medicines Agency in June 2012. A new drug application filing for OTC Nexium in the U.S. in a 20 mg delayed-release capsule is targeted for the first half of 2013.

Alacer Corp.

On February 26, 2012, we completed our acquisition of Alacer Corp., a privately owned company that manufactures, markets and distributes Emergen-C, a line of effervescent, powdered drink mix vitamin supplements that is the largest-selling branded vitamin C line in the U.S. In connection with this consumer healthcare acquisition, we recorded $247 million in Identifiable intangible assets, consisting primarily of the Emergen-C indefinite-lived brand, $94 million in net deferred tax liabilities and $151 million in Goodwill. The allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been finalized.

Ferrosan Holding A/S

On December 1, 2011, we completed our acquisition of the consumer healthcare business of Ferrosan Holding A/S (Ferrosan), a Danish company engaged in the sale of science-based consumer healthcare products, including dietary supplements and lifestyle products, primarily in the Nordic region and the emerging markets of Russia and Central and Eastern Europe. Due to the fact that financial information included in our fiscal year 2011 consolidated financial statements for our subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. is as of and for the year ended November 30, this acquisition is reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2012. Our acquisition of Ferrosan’s consumer healthcare business increases our presence in dietary supplements with a new set of brands and pipeline products. Also, we believe that the acquisition allows us to expand the marketing of Ferrosan’s brands through Pfizer’s global footprint and provide greater distribution and scale for certain Pfizer brands, such as Centrum and Caltrate, in Ferrosan’s key markets. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $463 million in Identifiable intangible assets, consisting of indefinite-lived and finite-lived brands, $119 million in net deferred tax liabilities and $246 million in Goodwill. The allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has not been finalized.

King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

On January 31, 2011 (the acquisition date), we completed a tender offer for the outstanding shares of common stock of King at a purchase price of $14.25 per share in cash and acquired approximately 92.5% of the outstanding shares. On February 28, 2011, we acquired all of the remaining shares of King for $14.25 per share in cash. As a result, the total fair value of consideration transferred for King was approximately $3.6 billion in cash ($3.2 billion, net of cash acquired).

King’s principal businesses consist of a prescription pharmaceutical business focused on delivering new formulations of pain treatments designed to discourage common methods of misuse and abuse; the Meridian auto-injector business for emergency drug delivery, which develops and manufactures the EpiPen; an established products portfolio; and an animal health business that offers a variety of feed-additive products for a wide range of species.

(a) 
Goodwill recorded as of the acquisition date totaled $720 million for our three biopharmaceutical operating segments and $45 million for our Animal Health operating segment. (Since the acquisition of King, we have revised our operating segments. See Note 13A. Segment, Geographic and Other Revenue Information: Segment Information.)

As of the acquisition date, the fair value of accounts receivable approximated the book value acquired. The gross contractual amount receivable was $200 million, virtually all of which was expected to be collected.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Specifically, the goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition of King includes the following:
the expected synergies and other benefits that we believed would result from combining the operations of King with the operations of Pfizer;
any intangible assets that did not qualify for separate recognition, as well as future, yet unidentified projects and products; and
the value of the going-concern element of King’s existing businesses (the higher rate of return on the assembled collection of net assets versus if Pfizer had acquired all of the net assets separately).

Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for income tax purposes (see Note 9A. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill for additional information).

The assets and liabilities arising from contingencies recognized as of the acquisition date are not significant to Pfizer’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenues from King are included in Pfizer's condensed consolidated statements of income from the acquisition date, January 31, 2011, through Pfizer’s domestic and international quarter-ends and were $938 million in the first nine months of 2011. We are not able to provide the results of operations attributable to King in the first nine months of 2011 as those operations had been substantially integrated into the larger Pfizer operation shortly after the acquisition.

If the acquisition of King had occurred on January 1, 2011, the change to Pfizer’s Revenues, Income from continuing operations attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and Diluted earnings per share attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders for the first nine months of 2011 would not have been significant.

B. Divestitures

On April 23, 2012, we announced that we entered into an agreement to sell our Nutrition business to Nestlé for $11.85 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the next few months, assuming the receipt of the required regulatory clearances and satisfaction of other closing conditions. Beginning in the second quarter of 2012, we report the operating results of the Nutrition business as Discontinued operations––net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. The transaction also includes the sale of certain prenatal multivitamins currently commercialized by the Pfizer Consumer Healthcare business unit. The operating results of this product line are also included in Discontinued operations––net of tax for all periods presented. In addition, the assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as Assets of discontinued operations and other assets held for sale and Liabilities of discontinued operations, as appropriate, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On August 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our Capsugel business for approximately $2.4 billion in cash. The operating results and the gain on the sale of this business are reported as Discontinued operations––net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011.

Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives

We incur significant costs in connection with acquiring, integrating and restructuring businesses and in connection with our global cost-reduction and productivity initiatives. For example:
In connection with our cost-reduction and productivity initiatives, significant programs of which began in 2005, we typically incur costs and charges associated with site closings and other facility rationalization actions, workforce reductions and the expansion of shared services, including the development of global systems; and
In connection with acquisition activity, we typically incur costs associated with executing the transactions, integrating the acquired operations (which may include expenditures for consulting and the integration of systems and processes), and restructuring the combined company (which may include charges related to employees, assets and activities that will not continue in the combined company).
 
All of our businesses and functions may be impacted by these actions, including sales and marketing, manufacturing and research and development, as well as groups such as information technology, shared services and corporate operations.

Since the acquisition of Wyeth on October 15, 2009, our cost-reduction initiatives announced on January 26, 2009, but not completed as of December 31, 2009, were incorporated into a comprehensive plan to integrate Wyeth’s operations to generate cost savings and to capture synergies across the combined company. In addition, on February 1, 2011, we announced a new productivity initiative to accelerate our strategies to improve innovation and productivity in R&D by prioritizing areas with the greatest scientific and commercial promise, utilizing appropriate risk/return profiles and focusing on areas with the highest potential to deliver value in the near term and over time.

(a) 
Interest income decreased slightly in the third quarter of 2012 due to lower investment balances mostly offset by higher interest rates earned on investments. Interest income decreased in the first nine months of 2012 due to lower interest rates earned on investments. Interest expense decreased in both periods in 2012 due to lower debt balances and the effective conversion of some fixed-rate liabilities to floating-rate liabilities.
(b) 
In the third quarter of 2012, primarily includes a $491 million charge, not deductible for income tax purposes, resulting from an agreement-in-principle with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to resolve an investigation into Wyeth's historical promotional practices in connection with Rapamune. In the first nine months of 2012, primarily includes the aforementioned $491 million charge related to Rapamune, a $450 million settlement of a lawsuit by Brigham Young University related to Celebrex, and charges related to hormone-replacement therapy litigation. In 2011, primarily includes charges related to hormone-replacement therapy litigation. (See Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies.)
(c) 
In the first nine months of 2012, includes intangible asset impairment charges of $494 million reflecting (i) $314 million of in-process research and development (IPR&D), substantially all related to compounds that targeted autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (full write-off), (ii) $45 million related to our Consumer Healthcare indefinite-lived brand, Robitussin, and (iii) $135 million related to three developed technology rights. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2012 reflect, among other things, the impact of new scientific findings, updated commercial forecasts, an increased competitive environment and declining gross margins. The impairment charges for the nine months of 2012 are associated with the following: Worldwide Research and Development ($297 million); Consumer Healthcare ($45 million); Established Products ($45 million); Primary Care ($52 million); Animal Health ($36 million) and Specialty Care ($19 million). In addition, the first nine months of 2012 include charges of approximately $67 million for certain investments. These investment impairment charges reflect the difficult global economic environment.

In the first nine months of 2011, includes intangible asset impairment charges of approximately $585 million, reflecting approximately $440 million impairment of IPR&D assets, primarily related to two compounds for the treatment of certain autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and approximately $145 million impairment of developed technology rights. Substantially all of these impairment charges relate to intangible assets that were acquired as part of our acquisition of Wyeth. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2011 reflect, among other things, the impact of new scientific findings and updated commercial forecasts. The impairment charges for the nine months of 2011 are associated with the following: Worldwide Research and Development ($394 million); Specialty Care ($126 million); Oncology ($56 million) and Animal Health ($9 million).
(d) 
Costs incurred in connection with the potential initial public offering of up to a 20% ownership stake in our Animal Health business, Zoetis. Includes expenditures for banking, legal, accounting and similar services related to the potential transaction.

The asset impairment charges included in Other deductions––net for the first nine months of 2012 primarily relate to identifiable intangible assets and are based on estimates of fair value.

(b) 
Reflects intangible assets written down to their fair value of $617 million in the first nine months of 2012. The impairment charges of $494 million are included in Other deductions––net. When we are required to determine the fair value of intangible assets other than goodwill, we use an income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, also known as the discounted cash flow method. We start with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows associated with the asset, which includes the application of a terminal value for indefinite-lived assets, and then we apply an asset-specific discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the projections and the impact of technological risk associated with IPR&D assets, as well as the selection of a long-term growth rate; the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows.

Note 5. Tax Matters

A. Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations

During the third quarter of 2012, we reached a settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to the audits of the Pfizer Inc. tax returns for the years 2006 through 2008. The IRS concluded the examination of the aforementioned tax years and issued a final Revenue Agent's Report (RAR). We agreed with all the adjustments and computations contained in the RAR. As a result of settling these audit years, in the third quarter of 2012 we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $1.1 billion representing tax and interest.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was (4.0)% for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 34.3% for the third quarter of 2011, and in the first nine months of 2012 was 19.0%, compared to 31.2% in the first nine months of 2011. The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 were favorably impacted by the aforementioned settlement with the IRS. The tax rates in both periods in 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 were also favorably impacted by the resolution of foreign audits pertaining to multiple tax years and the change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the non-deductibility of a $491 million charge resulting from an agreement-in-principle with the DOJ to resolve an investigation into Wyeth's historical promotional practices in connection with Rapamune, as well as the expiration of the U.S. research and development tax credit.

C. Tax Contingencies

We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions, and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. These tax audits can involve complex issues, interpretations and judgments and the resolution of matters may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits may not be representative of actual outcomes, and variation from such estimates could materially affect our financial statements in the period of settlement or when the statutes of limitations expire. We treat these events as discrete items in the period of resolution.

The United States is our primary tax jurisdiction and we are regularly audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS):
During the third quarter of 2012, we reached a settlement with the IRS with respect to the audits of the Pfizer Inc. tax returns for the years 2006 through 2008. The IRS concluded the examination of the aforementioned tax years and issued a final Revenue Agent's Report (RAR). We agreed with all the adjustments and computations contained in the RAR. As a result of settling these audit years, in the third quarter of 2012 we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $1.1 billion representing tax and interest.
With respect to Pfizer Inc., tax years 2009-2010 are currently under audit. Tax years 2011-2012 are not under audit. All other tax years are closed.

(UNAUDITED)

With respect to Wyeth, tax years 2006 through the Wyeth acquisition date (October 15, 2009) are currently under audit. All other tax years are closed.
With respect to King, the audit for tax year 2008 has been effectively settled, and for Alpharma Inc. (a subsidiary of King), tax years 2005-2007 are currently under audit. For King, tax years 2009 through the date of acquisition (January 31, 2011) are open but not under audit. All other tax years are closed. The open tax years and audits for King and its subsidiaries are not considered material to Pfizer.

In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in other major tax jurisdictions, such as Canada (2001-2012), Japan (2007-2012), Europe (2007-2012, primarily reflecting Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and Germany), and Puerto Rico (2007-2012).

(a) 
We use a market approach in valuing financial instruments on a recurring basis. See also Note 1C. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: Fair Value. All of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use Level 2 inputs in the calculation of fair value, except less than 1% that use Level 1 or Level 3 inputs.
(b) 
Trading securities are held in trust for legacy business acquisition severance benefits.
(c) 
Gross unrealized gains and losses are not significant.
(d) 
Includes approximately $625 million as of December 31, 2011 of money market funds that were released from restriction in the second quarter of 2012 and classified as part of Short-term investments. Such money market funds were held in escrow to secure certain of Wyeth’s payment obligations under its 1999 Nationwide Class Action Settlement Agreement, which relates to litigation against Wyeth concerning its former weight-loss products, Redux and Pondimin. The amount also includes $397 million as of September 30, 2012 and $357 million as of December 31, 2011 of money market funds held in trust in connection with the asbestos litigation involving Quigley Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary.
(e) 
Designated as hedging instruments, except for certain foreign currency contracts used as offsets; namely, foreign currency forward-exchange contracts with fair values of $25 million as of September 30, 2012; and foreign currency forward-exchange contracts with fair values of $169 million and interest rate swaps with fair values of $8 million as of December 31, 2011.
(f) 
The differences between the estimated fair values and carrying values of these financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis were not significant as of September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011. Held-to-maturity debt securities and our short-term and long-term debt fair value are based on Level 2 valuations using a market approach. Fair value measurements for private equity securities carried at cost are based on Level 3 valuations using a market approach.
(g) 
Our private equity securities represent investments in the life sciences sector.
