Alliances include unamortized amounts for upfront, milestone and other licensing proceeds, revenue deferrals attributed to the Gilead alliance and undelivered elements from the diabetes business divestiture. Upfront, milestone and other licensing proceeds are amortized over the shorter of the contractual rights period or the expected life of the product. Deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions are amortized over the remaining lease terms of the related facilities through 2018. Other deferrals include approximately $300 million invoiced for a product under an early access program in the EU. A portion of this amount will be recognized as revenue, subject to final price negotiations with the local government. Amortization of deferred income was $362 million in 2014, $548 million in 2013 and $308 million in 2012.

Deferred income of $3,671 million was included in liabilities related to assets held-for-sale at December 31, 2013. See“—Note 5. Assets Held-For-Sale” for further discussion.
