Note 1. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the 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-month and six-month periods ended May 29, 2011, and May 30, 2010. We have made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior-period amounts to the current presentation, primarily related to discontinued operations (see Note 4. Discontinued Operations) and segment reporting (see Note 15. Segment, Product and Geographic Area Information).

On January 31, 2011, we completed the tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) and acquired approximately 92.5% of the outstanding shares for approximately $3.3 billion in cash. On February 28, 2011, we acquired the remaining outstanding shares of King for approximately $300 million in cash (for additional information, see Note 3. Acquisition of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc). Commencing from January 31, 2011, our financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of King. Therefore, in accordance with our domestic and international reporting periods, our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended July 3, 2011 reflect approximately five months of King’s U.S. operations and approximately four months of King’s international operations.

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 document. The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
