All financial information reflects the following as discontinued operations: the pending sale of Capsugel, the Company’s former consumer healthcare business, and certain European generics businesses.
|
(a)
|
Interest expense includes amortization of debt premium, discount and expenses. Interest expense does not include interest related to uncertain tax positions of $76 million for the first three months of 2011; $384 million for 2010; $337 million for 2009; $333 million for 2008; $331 million for 2007; and $200 million for 2006.
|
|
(b)
|
Preferred stock dividends are from our Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock held by an Employee Stock Ownership Plan assumed in connection with our acquisition of Pharmacia in 2003.
|
|
(c)
|
Rents included in the computation consist of one-third of rental expense, which we believe to be a conservative estimate of an interest factor in our leases, which are not material.
