All financial information reflects the following as discontinued operations for 2006 and 2005: the Company’s former consumer healthcare business, and certain European generics business.

(a)
Interest expense includes amortization of debt premium, discount and expenses. Interest expense does not include interest related to uncertain tax positions of $92 million for the first three months of 2010; $337 million for 2009; $333 million for 2008; $331 million for 2007; $200 million for 2006; and $203 million for 2005.
(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.
