Note 2:  Implementation of New Financial Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement on Business Combinations was effective for us for business combinations with the acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009. This Statement, with its amendment, changes the way in which the acquisition method is to be applied in a business combination. The primary revisions require an acquirer in a business combination to measure assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. This Statement also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with the Statement). Assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies are to be measured at fair value if it can be determined during the measurement period. If fair value cannot be determined, the asset or liability should be recognized at the acquisition date if it is probable that an asset existed or a liability had been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. This Statement significantly amends other authoritative guidance on Business

Combinations as well, and now requires the capitalization of research and development assets acquired in a business combination at their acquisition-date fair values, separately from goodwill. The accounting for income taxes was also amended by this Statement to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances.
 
We adopted the provisions of the FASB Statement on Consolidations relating to the accounting for noncontrolling interests on January 1, 2009. This Statement amends previous authoritative guidance, by requiring companies to report a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary as equity in its consolidated financial statements. Disclosure of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest will be required. This Statement also clarifies that transactions that result in a change in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation will be treated as equity transactions, while a gain or loss will be recognized by the parent when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. We now classify our noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary as part of shareholders’ equity in our consolidated statements of financial position at December 31, 2009 and reclassified the December 31, 2008 balances accordingly. The net income attributed to the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary for 2009 and 2008 is not material and is included in other-net, expense (income).
 
We adopted the provisions of the FASB Statement on disclosures relating to Derivatives and Hedging on January 1, 2009. This Statement requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. These disclosures are included in Note 6.
 
We adopted the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) guidance related to Collaborative Arrangements on January 1, 2009. This guidance defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. This guidance has been applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for significant collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date by classifying revenues into two separate components: net product sales and collaboration and other revenue. See Note 4 for additional information.
 
We adopted the provisions of the FASB Staff Position (FSP) relating to Investments on January 1, 2009. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary recognition guidance for debt securities and requires additional interim and annual disclosures of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. Pursuant to the new guidance, an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred if a company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In this situation, if the company does not intend to sell the impaired security, and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the portion attributed to the credit loss. The remaining portion of the other-than-temporary impairment is then recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). This FSP has been applied to existing and new securities as of January 1, 2009. The applicable disclosures are included in Note 6. The implementation of this FSP was not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations and there was no cumulative effect adjustment.
 
We adopted the provisions of a FSP relating to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as of March 31, 2009. This FSP provides additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity. The FSP also provides additional guidance on circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly and requires additional disclosures. The implementation of this FSP had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
We adopted the provisions of a FSP on Financial Instruments, as of March 31, 2009. This FSP required disclosures about fair value of all financial instruments for interim reporting periods. The implementation of this FSP had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
We adopted the provisions of a FSP on Compensation—Retirement Benefits, as of December 31, 2009. This FSP required disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The applicable disclosures are included in Note 13. The implementation of this FSP had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
During 2009, we adopted the provisions of the FASB Statement on Subsequent Events. This Statement provides authoritative accounting literature and disclosure requirements for material events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date and prior to the issuance of the financial statements. The implementation of this Statement had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In 2009, the FASB issued a Statement on Transfers and Servicing, an amendment of previous authoritative guidance. The most significant amendments resulting from this Statement consist of the removal of the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) from previous authoritative guidance, and the elimination of the exception for qualifying SPEs from the Consolidation guidance regarding variable interest entities. This Statement is effective for us January 1, 2010 and is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In 2009, the FASB issued a Statement which amends the previous Consolidations guidance regarding variable interest entities and addresses the effects of eliminating the qualifying SPE concept from the guidance on Transfers and Servicing. This Statement responds to concerns about the application of certain key provisions of the previous guidance on Consolidations regarding variable interest entities, including concerns over the transparency of enterprises’ involvement with variable interest entities. This Statement is effective for us January 1, 2010 and is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In 2009, the FASB ratified EITF guidance related to Revenue Recognition that amends the previous guidance on arrangements with multiple deliverables. This guidance provides principles and application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangements should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated. It also clarifies the method to allocate revenue in an arrangement using the estimated selling price. This guidance is effective for us January 1, 2011 and is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
