NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
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 periods ended February 22, 2009, and February 24, 2008.

We made certain reclassifications to prior-period amounts to conform to the first-quarter 2009 presentation related to the presentation of noncontrolling interests as a result of adopting a new accounting standard (See Note 2. Adoption of New Accounting Policies.)

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 Pfizer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

On January 26, 2009, we announced that we entered into a definitive merger agreement under which we will acquire Wyeth in a cash-and-stock transaction valued on that date at $50.19 per share, or a total of $68 billion. While we have taken actions and incurred costs associated with the pending transaction that are reflected in our financial statements, the pending acquisition of Wyeth will not be reflected in our financial statements until consummation. (See Note 14. Pending Acquisition of Wyeth.)

Note 2. Adoption of New Accounting Policies

As of January 1, 2009, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141R, Business Combinations, as amended. SFAS 141R, as amended, retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development costs at fair value and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. The adoption of SFAS 141R, as amended, did not impact our consolidated financial statements upon adoption, but does impact the accounting for future acquisitions, including our pending acquisition of Wyeth.

As of January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Financial Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP SFAS 142-3 amends the factors considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. Among other things, in the absence of historical experience, an entity will be required to consider assumptions used by market participants. The adoption of FSP SFAS 142-3 did not impact our consolidated financial statements upon adoption, but could impact the accounting for future acquisitions.

As of January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of FASB SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, as amended, that we did not adopt as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157, as amended, defines fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. The adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS 157, as amended, did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption, but will impact the accounting for future acquisitions, including our pending acquisition of Wyeth, and other events and transactions measured at fair value.

As of January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 provides guidance for the accounting, reporting and disclosure of noncontrolling interests, previously referred to as minority interests. A noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. The adoption of SFAS 160 resulted in a number of changes to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements, but the amounts associated with noncontrolling interests are not significant. SFAS 160 could impact our accounting for future acquisitions where we do not acquire 100% of the entity and our accounting for the deconsolidations of subsidiaries.

As of January 1, 2009, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements. EITF 07-1 provides guidance on: determining whether an arrangement constitutes a collaborative arrangement within the scope of the Issue; how costs incurred and revenue generated on sales to third parties should be reported in the income statement; how an entity should characterize payments on the income statement; and what participants should disclose in the notes to the financial statements about a collaborative arrangement. The adoption of EITF 07-1 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, and additional disclosures have been provided. (See Note 4. Collaborative Arrangements.)

As of January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF Issue No. 08-3, Accounting by Lessees for Maintenance Deposits. EITF 08-3 provides guidance that maintenance deposits paid by a lessee and subsequently refunded only if a lessee fulfills a maintenance obligation will be accounted for as a deposit asset. The adoption of EITF 08-3 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF Issue No. 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations. EITF 08-6 clarifies how to account for certain transactions involving equity method investments in areas such as how to determine the initial carrying value of the investment; how to allocate the difference between the investor’s carrying value and the investor’s share of the underlying equity of the investment; how to perform an impairment assessment of underlying intangibles held by the investee; how to account for the investee’s issuance of additional shares; and how to account for an investment on the cost method when it had been previously accounted for under the equity method. The adoption of EITF 08-6 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, but could impact the accounting for future equity method investments.

As of January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF Issue No. 08-7, Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets. EITF 08-7 clarifies the accounting for certain separately identifiable assets, which an acquirer does not intend to actively use but intends to hold to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to them. EITF 08-7 requires an acquirer to account for a defensive intangible asset as a separate unit of accounting, which should be amortized to expense over the period the asset diminishes in value. The adoption of EITF 08-7 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, but could impact the accounting for future acquisitions.

Note 3. Acquisitions

In the first quarter of 2008, we acquired CovX, a privately held biotherapeutics company specializing in preclinical oncology and metabolic research and the developer of a biotherapeutics technology platform that we expect will enhance our biologic portfolio. Also in the first quarter of 2008, we acquired all the outstanding shares of Coley Pharmaceutical Group, Inc., (Coley), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in vaccines and drug candidates designed to fight certain cancers, allergy and asthma disorders, and autoimmune diseases, for approximately $230 million. In connection with these and two smaller acquisitions related to Animal Health, we recorded approximately $398 million in Acquisition-related in-process research and development charges.

Note 4. Collaborative Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we enter into collaborative arrangements with respect to in-line medicines as well as medicines in development that require completion of research and regulatory approval. Collaborative arrangements are contractual agreements with third parties that involve a joint operating activity, typically a research and/or commercialization effort, where both we and our partner are active participants in the activity and are exposed to the significant risks and rewards of the activity.  Our rights and obligations under each collaborative arrangement can vary. For example, we have agreements to co-promote pharmaceutical products discovered by other companies, and we have agreements where we partner to co-develop and/or participate together in commercializing, marketing, promoting, manufacturing, or distributing a drug product.

Payments to or from our collaboration partners are presented in the statement of income based on the nature of the arrangement (including its contractual terms), the nature of the payments and applicable accounting guidance. Under co-promotion agreements, we record the amounts received from our partners as alliance revenues, a component of Revenues, when our co-promotion partners are the principal in the transaction and we receive a share in their net sales or profits. Alliance revenues are recorded when our co-promotion partners ship the related product and title passes to their customer. Expenses for selling and marketing these products are included in Selling, informational and administrative expenses. In arrangements where we manufacture product for our partner, we record revenues when our partner sells the product and title passes to their customer. All royalty payments to collaboration partners are recorded as part of Cost of sales.

The amounts and classifications of payments (income/(expense)) between us and our collaboration partners follow:
 
(millions of dollars)

Restructuring charges(b)
     157       178    
Total costs related to our cost-reduction initiatives
   $ 331     $ 535    
 
(a)  
For the first quarter of 2009, included in Cost of sales ($76 million), Selling, informational and administrative expenses ($46 million), Research and development expenses ($41 million), and Other (income)/deductions – net ($11 million).

Through March 29, 2009, Employee termination costs represent the expected reduction of the workforce by approximately 31,000 employees, mainly in manufacturing, sales and research; and approximately 21,400 of these employees have been terminated. Employee termination costs are recorded when the actions are probable and estimable and include accrued severance benefits, pension and postretirement benefits. Asset impairments primarily include charges to write down property, plant and equipment. Other primarily includes costs to exit certain activities.

Note 6. Acquisition-Related Costs

We incurred the following acquisition-related costs in connection with our pending acquisition of Wyeth:
 
   
First Quarter
    
 
(millions of dollars)

Total acquisition-related costs(c)
   $ 397    
 
 
(a)  
Transaction costs include banking, legal, accounting and other costs directly related to our pending acquisition of Wyeth. Substantially all of the costs incurred to date are fees related to our $22.5 billion bridge term loan credit agreement entered into with financial institutions on March 12, 2009 (see Note 8C. Financial Instruments: Long-Term Debt) to partially fund our pending acquisition of Wyeth. Upon our issuance of $13.5 billion of senior unsecured notes on March 24, 2009, the commitment under the bridge term loan credit agreement was reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds we received from such issuance, to a current balance of $9.1 billion, and, accordingly, we expensed the portion of the bridge term loan credit agreement fees associated with the $13.5 billion reduction.

Pre-integration costs represent external, incremental costs directly related to our pending acquisition of Wyeth and include costs associated with preparing for systems and other integration activities.

Note 8. Financial Instruments

A. Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

Investments in debt securities reflect the investment of proceeds on March 24, 2009, when Pfizer issued $13.5 billion of senior unsecured notes in anticipation of the acquisition of Wyeth (see Note 8C. Financial Instruments: Long-Term Debt). The note proceeds were generally invested in short-term available-for-sale investments such as money market funds, U.S. Treasury notes, and to a lesser extent, corporate debt.

B. Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings include amounts for commercial paper of $6.1 billion as of March 29, 2009.

As of March 29, 2009, we had access to $8.2 billion of lines of credit, of which $6.0 billion expire within one year. Of these lines of credit, $8.1 billion are unused, of which our lenders have committed to loan us $7.1 billion at our request. $7.0 billion of the unused lines of credit, of which $5.0 billion expire in the first quarter of 2010 and $2.0 billion expire in 2013, may be used to support our commercial paper borrowings. The $5.0 billion of lines of credit expiring in the first quarter of 2010 are subject to substantially the same credit covenants as the bridge term loan credit agreement noted below. (See Note 8G. Financial Instruments: Credit Covenants.)

On March 12, 2009, we entered into a $22.5 billion bridge term loan credit agreement (bridge credit agreement) in connection with the pending acquisition of Wyeth. Upon our issuance of $13.5 billion of senior unsecured notes in March 2009 (see Note 8C. Financial Instruments: Long-Term Debt), the commitment under the bridge credit agreement was reduced by an amount equal to the net proceeds we received from such issuance, to a current balance of $9.1 billion. As of March 29, 2009, no amounts have been drawn down under the bridge credit agreement, and borrowings under the bridge credit agreement can only occur on the consummation date of the Wyeth transaction. Amounts drawn under the bridge credit agreement must be used to fund a portion of the Wyeth merger consideration and certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger and would mature 364 days after the merger consummation date but may be extended under certain conditions. The loan interest rate is to be calculated at the highest of specified common base rates, plus specified fixed-rates. The bridge credit agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the consummation of merger, (ii) December 31, 2009, (iii) the abandonment of the merger, (iv) the termination of the merger agreement or (v) the date on which the commitments under the bridge credit agreement are cancelled in full. The pending acquisition of Wyeth is expected to occur at the end of the third quarter or during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Certain bridge credit agreement fees have been expensed as Acquisition-related costs in the income statement caption Restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs (see Note 6. Acquisition-related costs), while other bridge credit agreement fees have been deferred and are included in Other assets, deferred taxes and deferred charges.

The bridge credit agreement subjects us to certain covenants until the commitment expires and all loans under the agreement, if any, have been paid. (See Note 8G. Financial Instruments: Credit Covenants.)

C. Long-Term Debt

On March 24, 2009, as part of our financing of the pending acquisition of Wyeth, we issued $13.5 billion of senior unsecured notes. Information as of March 29, 2009 is as follows:

D. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Foreign Exchange Risk - A significant portion of our revenues, earnings and net investments in foreign affiliates is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing expected same-currency revenues in relation to same-currency costs and same-currency assets in relation to same-currency liabilities. Depending on market conditions, foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign currency debt. These financial instruments serve to protect net income and net investments against the impact of the translation into U.S. dollars of certain foreign-exchange-denominated transactions. The aggregate notional amount of foreign exchange derivative financial instruments hedging or offsetting foreign currency exposures is $35 billion. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge or offset exposures in euro, Japanese yen, and Swedish kroner.

All derivative contracts used to manage foreign currency risk are measured at fair value and are reported as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in fair value are reported in earnings or deferred, depending on the nature and purpose of the financial instrument (offset or hedge relationship) and the effectiveness of the hedge relationships, as follows:

·  
We defer on the balance sheet the effective portion of the gains or losses on foreign currency forward-exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges and reclassify those amounts, as appropriate, into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

·  
We recognize the gains and losses on forward-exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps that are used to offset the same foreign currency assets or liabilities immediately into earnings along with the earnings impact of the items they generally offset. These contracts essentially take the opposite currency position of that reflected in the month-end balance sheet to counterbalance the effect of any currency movement.

·  
We recognize the gains and losses impact on foreign currency swaps designated as hedges of our net investments in earnings in three ways: over time–for the periodic net swap payments; immediately–to the extent of any change in the difference between the foreign exchange spot rate and forward rate; and upon sale or substantial liquidation of our net investments–to the extent of change in the foreign exchange spot rates.

We defer on the balance sheet foreign exchange gains and losses related to foreign exchange-denominated debt designated as a hedge of our net investments and reclassify those amounts into earnings upon the sale or substantial liquidation of our net investments.

Any ineffectiveness is recognized immediately into earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in the first quarter of 2009 or the first quarter of 2008.

Interest Rate Risk - Our interest-bearing investments, loans and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. We invest and loan primarily on a short-term or variable-rate basis; however, due to the pending acquisition of Wyeth and in light of current market conditions, we currently borrow primarily on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. From time to time, depending on market conditions, we will fix interest rates either through entering into fixed-rate investments or through the use of derivative financial instruments. The aggregate notional amount of interest rate derivative financial instruments is $4 billion. The derivative financial instruments primarily offset euro fixed-rate debt, and to a lesser extent, hedge U.S. fixed-rate debt.

All derivative contracts used to manage interest rate risk are measured at fair value and reported as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in fair value are reported in earnings, as follows:

·  
We recognize the gains and losses on interest rate swaps that are designated as fair value hedges in earnings upon the recognition of the change in fair value of the hedged risk. We recognize the offsetting earnings impact of fixed-rate debt attributable to the hedged risk also in earnings.

Any ineffectiveness is recognized immediately into earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in the first quarter of 2009 or the first quarter of 2008.

Certain of our derivative instruments have credit-risk-related contingent features designed to reduce our counterparties’ exposure to our risk of defaulting on amounts owed. The aggregate fair value of these derivative instruments that are in a liability position is $315 million, for which we have posted collateral of $230 million in the normal course of business. These features include the requirement to pay additional collateral in the event of a debt-rating organization ratings downgrade. If there had been a downgrade to an A rating, or its equivalent, on March 29, 2009, we would have been required to post an additional $140 million of collateral to our counterparties. If there had been a downgrade to below an A rating, or its equivalent, on March 29, 2009, we would have been required to post an additional $168 million of collateral to our counterparties.

F. Credit Risk

On an ongoing basis, we review the creditworthiness of counterparties to foreign exchange and interest rate agreements and do not expect to incur a significant loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under the agreements.

At March 29, 2009, we have $3.4 billion invested in a major money market fund rated Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service and AAA by Standard & Poor’s, which invests in U.S. government and its agencies’ or instrumentalities’ securities and reverse repurchase agreements involving the same investments held. Also, we had $3 billion due from a well-diversified, highly-rated group (primarily Standard & Poor’s rating of AA or better) of bank counterparties around the world.

G. Credit Covenants

The bridge credit agreement (see Note 8B. Financial Instruments: Short-Term Borrowings) subjects us to certain covenants until the commitment expires or is terminated and all loans under the agreement, if any, have been paid. Such covenants require, among other things, that we:

·  
maintain a no more than 2.75:1 ratio of consolidated debt to “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” (EBITDA), as defined. EBITDA, as defined, permits add-backs of certain other charges such as acquisition-related costs, unusual costs or certain non-cash charges.

·  
reduce the bridge credit agreement commitment or repay any outstanding indebtedness under the bridge credit agreement as required in an amount equal to the net proceeds of certain transactions not in the ordinary course of business, such as specified asset sales or sales-leaseback transactions, property loss events, or certain equity or debt issuances;

·  
not declare or pay dividends on our common stock in excess of $0.32 per share per quarter;

·  
not incur certain types of debt;

·  
not purchase or redeem our common stock in excess of $250 million dollars in the aggregate; and

·  
not purchase U.S. businesses for cash consideration in excess of $500 million in the aggregate or international businesses for cash consideration in excess of $2.5 billion in the aggregate.

Also, if any loan under the bridge credit agreement is funded, we would be required to cause Wyeth to guarantee our obligation under the bridge facility. In addition, if the bridge loan is funded and Wyeth guarantees the bridge loan, we would be required to cause Wyeth to guarantee the $13.5 billion of senior unsecured notes that we issued on March 24, 2009 (see Note 8C: Financial Investments: Long-Term Debt) until all loans under the bridge credit agreement have been paid in full.

In addition, the bridge credit agreement contains the following conditions, among others, to any borrowing under the agreement.

·  
the absence of material adverse change in the business of Pfizer or Wyeth; and

·  
Pfizer must maintain an unsecured long-term obligations rating of at least “A2” (with stable or better outlook) and a commercial paper credit rating of at least “P-1” from Moody’s Investors Service, and maintain a long-term issuer credit rating of at least “A” (with stable or better outlook) and a short-term issuer credit rating of at least “A-1” from Standard & Poor’s.

At March 29, 2009, we are in compliance with all credit covenants under the bridge credit agreement.
