PFIZER INC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES 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 (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 27, 2007, and May 28, 2006.

We made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the second-quarter 2007 presentation.

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, 2006.

Note 2. Adoption of New Accounting Policy

As of January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes , and supplemented by FASB Financial Staff Position FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 , issued May 2, 2007, and changed our policy related to the accounting for income tax contingencies. To understand the cumulative effect of these accounting changes, see Note 6A. Taxes on Income : Adoption of New Accounting Standard .

We continue to account for income tax contingencies using a benefit recognition model. Beginning January 1, 2007, if we consider that a tax position is 'more likely than not' of being sustained upon audit, based solely on the technical merits of the position, we recognize the benefit. We measure the benefit by determining the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement, presuming that the tax position is examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. These assessments can be complex and we often obtain assistance from external advisors.

Under the benefit recognition model , if our initial assessment fails to result in the recognition of a tax benefit, we regularly monitor our position and subsequently recognize the tax benefit: (i) if there are changes in tax law or analogous case law that sufficiently raise the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of the position to more likely than not; (ii) if the statute of limitations expires; or (iii) if there is a completion of an audit resulting in a favorable settlement of that tax year with the appropriate agency.

Liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions are now classified as current only when we expect to pay cash within the next 12 months. Interest and penalties, if any, continue to be recorded in Provision for taxes on income and are classified on the balance sheet with the related tax liability.

Prior to 2007, our policy had been to account for income tax contingencies based on whether we determined our tax position to be 'probable' under current tax law of being sustained, as well as an analysis of potential outcomes under a given set of facts and circumstances. In addition, we previously considered all tax liabilities as current once the associated tax year was under audit.

Note 3. Acquisitions

In the first quarter of 2007, we acquired BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corp., a privately held biopharmaceutical company with a number of diabetes candidates and a novel technology platform for developing new protein drug candidates, and Embrex, Inc., an animal health company that possesses a unique vaccine delivery system known as Inovoject, which enables baby chicks to be vaccinated while inside their eggs. In connection with these and other small acquisitions, we recorded $283 million, in Acquisition-related in-process research and development charges in the first quarter of 2007.

In the second quarter of 2006, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Rinat Neuroscience Corp., a biologics company with several new central-nervous-system product candidates. In connection with this and other smaller acquisitions, we recorded $513 million, in Acquisition-related in-process research and development charges in the second quarter of 2006.

On February 28, 2006, we completed the acquisition of the sanofi-aventis worldwide rights, including patent rights and production technology, to manufacture and sell Exubera, an inhaled form of insulin for use in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and the insulin-production business and facilities located in Frankfurt, Germany, previously jointly owned by Pfizer and sanofi-aventis, for approximately $1.4 billion (including transaction costs). In 2006, in connection with the acquisition, as part of our final purchase price allocation, we recorded $1.0 billion of developed technology rights, $218 million of inventory and $166 million of Goodwill , all of which have been allocated to our Pharmaceutical segment. The amortization of the developed technology rights is primarily included in Cost of sales . Prior to the acquisition, in connection with our collaboration agreement with sanofi-aventis, we recorded a research and development milestone due to us from sanofi-aventis of $118 million ($71 million, after tax) in the first quarter of 2006 in Research and development expenses upon the approval of Exubera in January 2006 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Note 4. Discontinued Operations

The following amounts, primarily related to our Consumer Healthcare business which was sold in December 2006 for $16.6 billion, have been segregated from continuing operations and included in Discontinued operations - net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income:

| (millions
of dollars) | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Revenues | $ -- | $ 1,027 | $ -- | $ 1,946 |
| Pre-tax income | $ -- | $ 160 | $ -- | $ 315 |
| Provision for
taxes on income | -- | (52) | -- | (105) |
| Income from operations
of discontinued businesses - net of tax | -- | 108 | -- | 210 |
| Pre-tax gains/(losses) on sales of
discontinued businesses | (79) | 26 | (39) | 31 |
| Provision for taxes on gains | 1 | (9) | (8) | (11) |
| Gains/(losses)
on sales of discontinued operations - net of tax | (78) | 17 | (47) | 20 |
| Discontinued operations - net of
tax | $ (78) | $ 125 | $ (47) | $ 230 |

For a period of time, we will continue to generate cash flows and to report income statement activity in continuing operations that are associated with our former Consumer Healthcare business. The activities that give rise to these impacts are transitional in nature and generally result from agreements that ensure and facilitate the orderly transfer of business operations to the new owner. Included in continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007 were the following amounts associated with these transition service agreements that will no longer occur after the full transfer of activities to the new owner: Revenues of $50 million; Cost of sales of $45 million; Selling, informational and administrative expense of $5 million; and Other (income)/deduction-net of $7 million in income, and for the first six months of 2007: Revenues of $94 million; Cost of sales of $80 million; Selling, informational and administrative expense of $7 million; and Other (income)/deduction-net of $9 million in income.

Note 5. Adapting to Scale Productivity Initiative

We incurred the following costs in connection with our Adapting to Scale (AtS) productivity initiative, which was launched in early 2005 and broadened in October 2006:

| (millions
of dollars) | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Implementation
costs (a) | $ 317 | $ 180 | $ 491 | $ 365 |
| Restructuring
charges (b) | 1,035 | 262 | 1,830 | 556 |
| Total AtS costs | $ 1,352 | $ 442 | $ 2,321 | $ 921 |

| (a) | For
the second quarter of 2007, included in Cost of sales ($170 million), Selling, informational and administrative expenses ($79 million), Research and development expenses ($131 million) and Other
(income)/deductions - net ($63 million income). For the second
quarter of 2006, included in Cost of sales ($104 million), Selling,
informational and administrative expenses ($58 million), Research
and development expenses ($40 million) and Other
(income)/deductions - net ($22 million income).For the first six
months of 2007, included in Cost of sales ($264 million), Selling,
informational and administrative expenses ($128 million), Research
and development expenses ($162 million) and Other
(income)/deductions - net ($63 million income). For the first six
months of 2006, included in Cost of sales ($228 million), Selling,
informational and administrative expenses ($97 million), Research
and development expenses ($62 million) and Other
(income)/deductions - net ($22 million income). |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | Included
in Restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs. |

AtS costs associated with Discontinued operations in 2006 were not significant.

Through July 1, 2007, the restructuring charges primarily relate to our plant network optimization efforts and the restructuring of our worldwide marketing and research and development operations, while the implementation costs primarily relate to system and process standardization, as well as the expansion of shared services.

The components of restructuring charges associated with AtS follow:

| (millions
of dollars) — Employee
termination costs | $ 2,664 | $ 1,306 | $ 1,358 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Asset
impairments | 606 | 606 | -- |
| Other | 294 | 197 | 97 |
| Total | $ 3,564 | $ 2,109 | $ 1,455 |

(a) Included in Other current liabilities ($1.2 billion) and Other noncurrent liabilities ($215 million).

During the second quarter of 2007, we expensed $821 million for Employee termination costs , $93 million for Asset impairments and $121 million in Other . During the first six months of 2007, we expensed $1.6 billion for Employee termination costs , $116 million for Asset impairments and $162 million in Other . Through July 1, 2007, costs incurred for Employee termination costs represent the expected reduction of the workforce by approximately 18,400 employees, mainly in research, manufacturing and sales. As of July 1, 2007, approximately 9,900 of these employees have been formally 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. Taxes on Income

A. Adoption of New Accounting Standard

As of January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes , an interpretation of SFAS 109 , Accounting for Income Taxes , as supplemented by FASB Financial Staff Position FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 , issued May 2, 2007. See Note 2. Adoption of New Accounting Policy , for a full description of our accounting policy related to the accounting for income tax contingencies. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, at the date of adoption, we reduced our existing liabilities for uncertain tax positions by approximately $11 million, which has been recorded as a direct adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings and changed the classification of virtually all amounts associated with uncertain tax positions approximately $4.0 billion, including the associated accrued interest of approximately $780 million, from current to noncurrent. For details, see section C. Tax Contingencies below.

B. Taxes on Income

On January 23, 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations on Statutory Mergers and Consolidations, which impacted certain prior-period transactions. In the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a tax benefit of $217 million, reflecting the total impact of these regulations.

On January 25, 2006, we were notified by the IRS Appeals Division that a resolution had been reached on the matter that we were in the process of appealing related to the tax deductibility of an acquisition-related breakup fee paid by Warner-Lambert Company in 2000. As a result, in the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $441 million related to the resolution of this issue .

As of July 1, 2007, we intend to permanently reinvest the earnings of our international subsidiaries and, therefore, we have not recorded a U.S. tax provision on unremitted earnings .

C. Tax Contingencies

We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. For a description of our accounting policy associated with accounting for income tax contingencies, see Note 2. Adoption of New Accounting Policy . All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. Tax audits can involve complex issues and the resolution of issues may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation.

The United States is one of our major tax jurisdictions and the IRS is currently conducting audits of the Pfizer Inc. tax returns for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004. The 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax years are also currently under audit as part of the IRS Compliance Assurance Process (CAP), a real-time audit process. All other tax years in the U.S. for Pfizer Inc. are closed under the statute of limitations. With respect to Pharmacia Corporation, the IRS is currently conducting an audit for the year 2003 through the date of merger with Pfizer (April 16, 2003). Although the U.S. audits for Pharmacia Corporation for all previous years have been closed, tax years 2000 through 2002 are still open under the statute of limitations. In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in other major tax jurisdictions, such as Canada (1998-2006), Japan (2004-2006), Europe (1996-2006, primarily reflecting Ireland, the U.K., France, Italy, Spain and Germany), and Puerto Rico (2002-2006).

We regularly reevaluate our tax positions and the associated interest and penalties, if applicable, resulting from audits of federal, state and foreign income tax filings, as well as changes in tax law that would either increase or decrease the technical merits of a position relative to the more likely than not standard. We believe that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years. Many factors are considered in making these evaluations, including past history, recent interpretations of tax law, and the specifics of each matter. Because tax regulations are subject to interpretation and tax litigation is inherently uncertain, these evaluations can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. Our evaluations are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. However, if our estimates and assumptions are not representative of actual outcomes, our results could be materially impacted.

Because tax law is complex and often subject to varied interpretations, it is uncertain whether some of our tax positions will be sustained upon audit. The amounts associated with uncertain tax positions are as follows:

| (millions of dollars) — Non-current

Tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions represent unrecognized tax benefits, which arise when the estimated benefit recorded in our financial statements differs from the amounts taken or expected to be taken in a tax return because of the uncertainties described above. These unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to issues common among multinational corporations. Virtually all of these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact our effective income tax rate.

Tax assets associated with uncertain tax positions represent our estimate of the potential tax benefits in one tax jurisdiction that could result from the payment of income taxes in another tax jurisdiction. These potential benefits generally result from cooperative efforts among taxing authorities to minimize double taxation. The recoverability of these assets, which we believe to be more likely than not, is dependent upon the actual payment of taxes in one tax jurisdiction and, in some cases, the successful petition for recovery in another tax jurisdiction.

If our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits are not representative of actual outcomes, our financial statements could be materially affected in the period of settlement as we treat settlements as discrete items in the period of resolution. Based on the protocol of finalizing audits by the relevant taxing authorities, which could include formal administrative and legal proceedings, except for amounts reflected in Income taxes payable , we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible change related to our uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months. However, any settlements would likely result in a significant decrease in our uncertain tax positions.

Note 8. Financial Instruments

A. Long-Term Debt

On May 11, 2007, we issued the following notes to be used for general corporate purposes:

• $1.2 billion equivalent, senior, unsecured, euro-denominated notes, due May 15, 2017, which pay interest annually, beginning on May 15, 2008, at a fixed rate of 4.55%.

The notes were issued under a new securities registration statement filed with the SEC in March 2007.

B. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

There was no material ineffectiveness in any hedging relationship reported in earnings in the first six months of 2007.

Foreign Exchange Risk

During the first six months of 2007, we entered into the following new or incremental hedging or offset activities:

| Instrument (a ) | Primary Balance Sheet Caption | Hedge Type | Hedged
or Offset Item | Notional Amount as of July 1, 2007 (millions of dollars) | Maturity Date |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Forwards | OCL | -- | Short-term foreign currency assets and liabilities (d ) | $
2,651 | 2007 |
| Forwards | Prepaid | CF | Yen available-for-sale investments | 2,212 | 2007 |
| Swap | ONCL | -- | Euro fixed rate debt | 1,216 | 2017 |
| Forwards | OCL | CF | Euro available-for-sale investments | 1,041 | 2007 |
| Forwards | Prepaid | CF | Euro available-for-sale investments | 696 | 2007 |
| Swap | Other assets | FV | Swiss franc loan | 143 | 2009 |

| (a) | Forwards
= Forward-exchange contracts. |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | The
primary balance sheet caption indicates the financial statement
classification of the fair value amount associated with the financial
instrument used to hedge foreign exchange risk. The abbreviations used are
defined as follows: Prepaid = Prepaid expenses and taxes ; Other assets
= Other assets, deferred taxes and deferred charges ; OCL = Other
current liabilities ; and ONCL = Other noncurrent liabilities . |
| (c) | CF =
Cash flow hedge; FV = Fair value hedge. |
| (d) | Forward-exchange
contracts used to offset short-term foreign currency assets and liabilities
are primarily for intercompany transactions in euros, U.K. pounds, Japanese
yen and Canadian dollars. |

These foreign-exchange instruments serve to protect us against the impact of the translation into U.S. dollars of certain foreign currency denominated transactions.

Interest Rate Risk

During the first six months of 2007, we entered into the following new hedging activities:

| Instrument | Primary Balance Sheet Caption | Hedge Type | Hedged
Item | Notional Amount as of July 1, 2007 (millions of dollars) | Maturity Date |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Swap | ONCL | FV | Euro fixed rate debt | $
1,216 | 2017 |
| Swaps | ONCL | CF | Available-for-sale investments | 646 | 2009 |

| (a) | The
primary balance sheet caption indicates the financial statement
classification of the fair value amount associated with the financial
instrument used to hedge interest rate risk. The abbreviation used is defined
as follows: ONCL = Other noncurrent liabilities . |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | FV =
Fair value hedge; CF = Cash flow hedge. |

The interest rate instruments serve to hedge the fixed or variable interest rates on the hedged items, matching the amount and timing of the hedged items.

Amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets that contribute to our ability to sell, manufacture, research, market and distribute products, compounds and intellectual property are included in Amortization of intangible assets as they benefit multiple business functions. Amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets that are associated with a single function are included in Cost of sales , Selling, informational and administrative expenses , and Research and development expenses , as appropriate. Total amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $826 million for the second quarter of 2007 and $848 million for the second quarter of 2006, and $1.7 billion for the first six months of both 2007 and 2006. Amounts of amortization expense associated with discontinued operations in 2006 were not significant.

The expected annual amortization expense is $3.3 billion in 2007; $2.8 billion in 2008; $2.6 billion in 2009; $2.5 in each of 2010 and 2011; and $2.3 billion in 2012.

Japanese pension regulations permit employers with certain pension obligations to separate the social security benefits portion of those obligations and transfer it, along with related plan assets, to the Japanese government. During the first quarter of 2007, our Japanese affiliate completed this transfer and effectively received a subsidy from the Japanese government of approximately $168 million. This subsidy was the result of the transfer of pension obligations of approximately $309 million (excluding the effect of any future salary increases of approximately $9 million) along with related plan assets of approximately $141 million. This transfer resulted in a settlement gain of approximately $106 million.

For the first six months of 2007, we contributed from our general assets $3 million to our U.S. qualified pension plans, $48 million to our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans, $234 million to our international pension plans and $79 million to our postretirement plans.

During 2007, we expect to contribute, from our general assets, a total of $105 million to our U.S. qualified pension plans, $68 million to our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans, $442 million to our international pension plans and $158 million to our postretirement plans. Contributions expected to be made for 2007 are inclusive of amounts contributed during the first six months of 2007. The contributions from our general assets include direct employer benefit payments.

Note 12. Share-Based Payments

We make our major annual grant of stock options, restricted stock units and performance share awards in the first quarter of each year. Net income included the following share-based expense and the associated tax benefit:

| (millions
of dollars) | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Stock option
expense | $ 51 | $ 100 | $ 154 | $ 221 |
| Restricted
stock unit expense | 42 | 50 | 96 | 90 |
| Performance
share awards and performance-contingent share awards expense | (6) | 4 | (22) | 15 |
| Share-based
payment expense | 87 | 154 | 228 | 326 |
| Tax benefit for
share-based compensation expense | (30) | (45) | (71) | (93) |
| Share-based
payment expense, net of tax | $ 57 | $ 109 | $ 157 | $ 233 |

Amounts capitalized as part of inventory cost were not significant. The impact of modifications under the AtS productivity initiative to share-based awards was not significant in any period presented above. Generally, these modifications resulted in an acceleration of vesting, either in accordance with plan terms or at management's discretion. Share-based compensation expense associated with Discontinued operations in 2006 was not significant.

Note 13. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic and diluted earnings per common share (EPS) were computed using the following common share data:

(millions) July 1, 2007 July 2, 2006 July 1, 2007 July 2, 2006
EPS Numerator -

Weighted-average

Stock options that
had exercise prices greater than the average market price of our common stock
and stock issuable under employee compensation plans* 403 592 404 591
  • These common stock equivalents were outstanding during these periods but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for these periods because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

In the computation of diluted EPS, income from continuing operations and net income are reduced by the incremental contribution to the ESOPs, which were acquired as part of our Pharmacia acquisition. This contribution is the after-tax difference between the income that the ESOPs would have received in preferred stock dividends and the dividend on the common shares assumed to have been outstanding.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Pfizer Inc:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies as of July 1, 2007, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six month periods ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

OVERVIEW OF OUR PERFORMANCE AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Our Business

We are a global, research-based company that is dedicated to better health and greater access to healthcare for people and their valued animals. Our purpose is to help people live longer, healthier, happier and more productive lives. Our efforts in support of that purpose include the discovery, development, manufacture and marketing of breakthrough medicines; the exploration of ideas that advance the frontiers of science and medicine; and the support of programs dedicated to illness prevention, health and wellness, and increased access to quality healthcare. Our value proposition is to demonstrate that our medicines can effectively treat disease, including the associated symptoms and suffering, and can form the basis for an overall improvement in healthcare systems and their related costs. This improvement can be achieved by increasing effective prevention and treatment and by reducing the need for hospitalization. Our revenues are derived from the sale of our products, as well as through alliance agreements, under which we co-promote products discovered by other companies.

Our 2007 Performance

Revenues in the second quarter of 2007 decreased $657 million (6%), compared to the same period in 2006. Revenues in the first six months of 2007, were comparable to the same period in 2006. The significant product impacts on revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006, are as follows:

Revenues benefited from favorable foreign exchange impacts of $284 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $553 million in the first six months of 2007. Revenues also benefited from lower pharmaceutical product rebates in the first six months of 2007 of approximately $123 million, compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Medicare Act), effective as of January 1, 2006, changes in product mix and the impact of our contracting strategies with both government and non-government entities. The impact of rebates in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of 2006, was not significant to overall revenues. (See further discussion in the "Revenues - Pharmaceutical Revenues" section of this MD&A.)

Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007 was $1.3 billion compared to $2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2006 and $4.7 billion in the first six months of 2007 compared to $6.3 billion in the first six months of 2006. The decreases were primarily due to higher restructuring costs associated with our productivity initiatives in 2007, higher R&D expense, primarily due to the timing of our payments to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) in connection with our collaboration to develop and commercialize apixaban, as well as the decline in product revenues discussed above, including the impact of product mix in revenues on Cost of sales and the absence of one-time tax benefits occurring in 2006, partially offset by the decline in Acquisition-related in-process research and development charges from 2006. (See further discussion in the "Cost and Expenses" and "Provision for Taxes on Income" sections of this MD&A.)

Discontinued Operations - net of tax , primarily related to our former Consumer Healthcare business, which was sold in December 2006, for the second quarter of 2007, was a $78 million loss compared to $125 million in income in the second quarter of 2006 and a $47 million loss in the first six months of 2007 compared to $230 million in income in the first six months of 2006. For a period of time, we will continue to generate cash flows and to report income statement activity in continuing operations that are associated with our former Consumer Healthcare business. The activities that give rise to these impacts are transitional in nature and generally result from agreements that ensure and facilitate the orderly transfer of business operations to the new owner. Included in continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007, are the following amounts associated with these transition service agreements that will no longer occur after the full transfer of activities to the new owner: Revenues of $50 million, Cost of sales of $45 million, Selling, informational and administrative expense of $5 million and Other (income)/deduction-net of $7 million in income, and for the first six months of 2007, are: Revenues of $94 million, Cost of sales of $80 million, Selling, informational and administrative expense of $7 million and Other (income)/deduction-net of $9 million in income. (See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements- Note 4. Discontinued Operations .)

In the first quarter of 2007, we acquired Embrex, Inc. and BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corp. (See further discussion in the "Our Strategic Initiatives - Strategy and Recent Transactions: Acquisitions, Licensing and Collaborations" section of this MD&A.)

We have also made progress with our Adapting to Scale (AtS) productivity initiative, which is a broad-based, company-wide effort to leverage our scale and strength more robustly and increase our productivity. (See further discussion in the "Our Productivity and Cost Savings Program" section of this MD&A.) (For an understanding of Adjusted income, see the "Adjusted Income" section of this MD&A.)

Our Operating Environment

We and our industry continue to face significant challenges in a profoundly changing business environment, as explained more fully in Pfizer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Such industry-wide factors, including pricing and access, intellectual property rights, product competition, the regulatory environment, pipeline productivity and the changing business environment, can significantly impact our businesses. We are taking steps to change the way we run our businesses.

Generic competition significantly impacts our business. We lost U.S. exclusivity for Zoloft in June 2006 and Norvasc in March 2007 and, as expected, significant revenue declines followed. Lipitor began to face competition in the U.S. from generic pravastatin (Pravachol) in April 2006 and generic simvastatin (Zocor) in June 2006, in addition to other competitive pressures. While we anticipated the difficulty posed by these generic competitors, in the U.S., the volume of patients who switched from Lipitor to generic simvastatin following the entry of multiple generics was greater than we had predicted, particularly in the managed-care environment. In the second quarter of 2007, we improved Lipitor's switch rate volume, returning towards pre-multisource generic levels. In Canada, a lower-court decision against Pfizer has created uncertainty regarding Lipitor's patent protection in Canada. We have appealed that decision. In addition to these challenges, we face the loss of U.S. exclusivity for Zyrtec later in 2007 and Camptosar in 2008. (For more detailed information about Lipitor, Norvasc, Zoloft and other significant products, see further discussion in the "Revenues - Pharmaceutical - Selected Product Descriptions" section of this MD&A.)

We will continue to aggressively defend our patent rights against increasingly aggressive infringement whenever appropriate.

(See Part II, Other Information ; Item 1, Legal Proceedings , of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain recent developments with respect to patent litigation.)

These and other industry-wide factors that may affect our business should be considered along with the information presented in the "Forward-Looking Information and Factors that May Affect Future Results" section of this MD&A.

Response to Key Opportunities and Challenges

As announced on January 22, 2007, we are committed to changing the way we run our business in order to meet the challenges of the changing business environment and to take advantage of the diverse opportunities in the market place.

Our five immediate priorities are to:

| • | Maximize our near-and long-term
revenues; |
| --- | --- |
| • | Establish a lower and more flexible
cost base; |
| • | Create smaller, more focused and
more accountable operating units; |
| • | Engage more productively with
customers, patients, physicians and other collaborators; and |
| • | Make Pfizer a great place to work. |

We believe that we are making progress on all of these goals. For details about our strategic initiatives, see "Our Strategic Initiatives - Strategy and Recent Transactions" section of this MD&A, and for details about our productivity initiative, see "Our Productivity and Cost Savings Program" section of this MD&A.

We are examining a whole range of possibilities that will shape the company over the next five to 10 years. Some of the strategic elements that build on our immediate priorities while providing a framework for our longer-term opportunities may include:

| • | Revitalizing our internal Research
& Development (R&D) productivity by focusing our efforts to
improve productivity and give discovery and development teams more
flexibility and clearer goals, as well as committing considerable resources
to promising therapeutic areas including oncology, diabetes, and neurological
disorders, among others. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Focusing our business development
by thoroughly assessing and prioritizing every therapeutic area, looking at gaps
we have identified and accelerating programs we already have. We are also developing
opportunistic strategies concerning the best products, product candidates and
technologies. |
| • | Building a major presence in
biotherapeutics by recognizing that our core strength with small molecules
must be complemented by large molecules, as they involve some of the most
promising R&D technology and cutting-edge science in medical research, as
well as integrating our investments, R&D and existing internal
capabilities with disciplined business development. |
| • | Driving innovation in product life
cycle management by taking a broader look at our business model and examining
it from all angles. We believe there are opportunities to better manage our
products' growth and development throughout their entire time on the market
and bring innovation to our "go to market" promotional and
commercial strategies. We plan to develop ways to further enhance the value
of mature products, as well as those close to losing their exclusivity and to
create product-line extensions where feasible. In connection with the production
of these products, we are pursuing new ways to accelerate our high-quality,
low-cost manufacturing initiatives. |
| • | Stepping up our focus and
investments in emerging markets by developing strategies in areas, especially
Eastern Europe and Asia, where changing demographics and economics will drive
growing demand for high-quality healthcare and offer the best potential for
our products. |
| • | Seeking complementary opportunities
in products and technologies that have the potential to add value to our core
pharmaceutical offerings as there are many possible ways for us to enhance our
pharmaceutical products with the medical technologies of the future. |

Our Strategic Initiatives - Strategy and Recent Transactions

Acquisitions, Licensing and Collaborations

We are committed to capitalizing on new growth opportunities by advancing our own new-product pipeline, as well as through opportunistic licensing, co-promotion agreements and acquisitions. Our business development strategy targets a number of growth opportunities, including biologics, oncology, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, vaccines and other products and services that seek to provide innovative healthcare solutions.

| • | In the second quarter of 2007, we
entered into a collaboration agreement with BMS to further develop and
commercialize apixaban, an oral anticoagulant compound discovered by BMS,
that is being studied for the prevention and treatment of a broad range of
venous and arterial thrombotic conditions. We made an up-front payment to BMS
of $250 million and additional payments to BMS related to product
development efforts, which are included in Research and development
expenses for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2007. We may
also make additional payments of up to $750 million to BMS based on
development and regulatory milestones. In a separate agreement, we will also
collaborate with BMS on the research, development and commercialization of a
Pfizer discovery program, which includes preclinical compounds with potential
applications for the treatment of metabolic disorders, including obesity and
diabetes. |
| --- | --- |
| • | In April 2007, we agreed with OSI
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OSI) to terminate a 2002 collaboration agreement to
co-promote Macugen, for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration, in
the U.S. We also agreed to amend and restate a 2002 license agreement for
Macugen, and to return to OSI all rights to develop and commercialize Macugen
in the U.S. In return, OSI granted us an exclusive right to develop and
commercialize Macugen in the rest of the world. |
| • | In the first quarter of 2007, we
acquired BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corp., a privately held biopharmaceutical
company with a number of diabetes candidates and a novel technology platform
for developing new protein drug candidates, and Embrex, Inc., an animal
health company that possesses a unique vaccine delivery system known as
Inovoject, which enables baby chicks to be vaccinated while inside their eggs.
In connection with these and other small acquisitions, we recorded $283 million
in Acquisition-related in-process research and development charges . |
| • | In the second quarter of 2006, we
completed the acquisition of Rinat Neuroscience Corp. (Rinat), a biologics
company with several new central-nervous-system product candidates. In
connection with this and other smaller acquisitions, we recorded $513 million
in Acquisition-related in-process research and development charges in
the second quarter of 2006. |
| • | In February 2006, we completed the
acquisition of the sanofi-aventis worldwide rights, including patent rights
and production technology, to manufacture and sell Exubera, an inhaled form
of insulin for use in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and the
insulin-production business and facilities located in Frankfurt, Germany,
previously jointly owned by Pfizer and sanofi-aventis, for approximately $1.4 billion
in cash (including transaction costs). In connection with the acquisition, as
part of our final purchase price allocation, we recorded $1.0 billion of
developed technology rights, $218 million of inventory and $166 million
of Goodwill , all of which have been allocated to our Pharmaceutical segment.
The amortization of the developed technology rights is primarily included in Cost
of sales . Prior to the acquisition, in connection with our collaboration
agreement with sanofi-aventis, we recorded a research and development
milestone due to us from sanofi-aventis of approximately $118 million
($71 million, after tax) in the first quarter of 2006 in Research and
development expenses upon the approval of Exubera in January 2006 by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). |

Our Productivity and Cost Savings Program

We have made significant progress with our multi-year productivity initiative, called Adapting to Scale (AtS), which is designed to increase efficiency and streamline decision-making across the company. This initiative was launched in early 2005 and broadened in October 2006.

We are generating cost savings through site rationalization in research and manufacturing, reductions in our global sales force, streamlined organizational structures, staff function reductions, and increased outsourcing and procurement savings. Projects in various stages of completion include:

| • | Reorganization of our Field Force -
We completed the U.S. reorganization in December 2006, which included a 20%
reduction in our U.S. field force. We are taking similar measures in the
international markets. The restructured U.S. field force was operational
starting in April 2007 and productivity per sales representative has returned
to the levels before the reorganization, retaining our competitiveness and
share of voice. Globally, we have reduced our overall workforce by
approximately 8% so far this year. Additional savings are being generated
from de-layering, eliminating duplicative work, and strategically re-aligning
various functions. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Strategic Outsourcing - As an
example of this activity, we recently partnered with a single strategic
service provider for certain information technology activities which have been
performed by Pfizer and contractors. By consolidating 11 third-party
providers and reducing labor cost, we expect to generate considerable annual
savings and higher quality services. |
| • | Plant Network Optimization - We
are transforming our global manufacturing network to improve efficiency and
reduce overall cost. We have reduced our network of plants to 60 from 93 four
years ago. We have also announced significant additional closures and
divestitures. The cumulative impact will be a more focused, streamlined and
competitive manufacturing operation, with less than 50% of our plants and a
reduction of 35% of our manufacturing employees compared to 2003. Further, we
currently outsource the manufacture of approximately 17% of our products on a
cost basis and plan to increase this substantially by 2010. |
| • | Enhanced R&D Productivity - We are actively balancing the actions required to achieve our cost savings
targets with those required to promote enhanced R&D productivity. In
January 2007, we announced plans to close five R&D sites as part of our
efforts to rationalize our facilities footprint. To date, approximately
two-thirds of the portfolio projects that are moving between sites have been
transferred and are in their new sites. The remainder of the early-stage
portfolio projects will be transferred by the end of the third quarter of
2007; and the late-stage project transfers will be complete by the end of
2007, with minimal interruption in the progress of development. |

In 2008, at current exchange rates (rates approximating foreign currency spot rates at the end of our second quarter for international operations-May 2007), we continue to expect to achieve an absolute net reduction of the pre-tax total expense component of Adjusted income of at least $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion, compared to 2006. (For an understanding of Adjusted income, see the "Adjusted Income" section of this MD&A.)

(b) Includes revenues from Japan of $1.6 billion (6.7% of total revenues) for both of the six month periods ended July 1, 2007, and July 2, 2006.

Pharmaceutical Revenues

Worldwide pharmaceutical revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were $10.1 billion, a decrease of 7% compared to the second quarter of 2006, and for the first six months of 2007 were $21.7 billion, a decrease of 1% compared to the first six months of 2006, due primarily to:

| • | a decrease in revenues for Norvasc
of $516 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $630 million in
the first six months of 2007, primarily due to the loss of U.S. exclusivity
in the first quarter of 2007; |
| --- | --- |
| • | a continued decrease
in revenues for Zoloft, primarily due to the loss of U.S. exclusivity in June
2006, of $579 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $1.2 billion
in the first six months of 2007; and |
| • | lower sales of
Lipitor in the U.S., primarily resulting from competitive pressures from generics
and in the second quarter of 2007, modest reductions in the dollar value of
U.S. wholesaler inventory levels (as wholesalers adjusted their inventories
to reflect the decrease in prescription levels), and increased rebates (reflecting
our more flexible contracting strategy), among other factors, |

partially offset by:

| • | the solid aggregate performance of many
products in our broad portfolio of patent-protected medicines; |
| --- | --- |
| • | an aggregate
year-over-year increase in revenues from new products launched in the U.S. since
2005 of approximately $481 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $962 million
in the first six months of 2007; and |
| • | a decrease in
rebates in the first six months of 2007 in both our government and
non-government contracted businesses in the U.S., reflecting the continued
impact of the Medicare Act, effective January 1, 2006, changes in our product
mix and the impact of our contracting strategies. |

Pharmaceutical revenues were also impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to many foreign currencies, especially the euro and U.K. pound, which increased revenues by $252 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $497 million in the first six months of 2007.

Geographically:

| • | in the U.S.,
Pharmaceutical revenues decreased 22% in the second quarter of 2007, compared
to the second quarter of 2006, and 9% in the first six months of 2007,
compared to the first six months of 2006, primarily due to the effect of the
loss of exclusivity for Zoloft and Norvasc, and lower sales of Lipitor; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | in our
international markets, Pharmaceutical revenues increased 9% in both the second
quarter and the first six months of 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006,
primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign exchange on international revenues
of $252 million (4.9%) in the second quarter of 2007 and $497 million
(5.0%) in the first six months of 2007, revenues from our new products, as
well as growth in Celebrex sales. |

During the second quarter of 2007, international Pharmaceutical revenues grew to represent 55.8% of total Pharmaceutical revenues, compared to 47.3% in the second quarter of 2006. For the first six months of 2007, international Pharmaceutical revenues represent 50% of total Pharmaceutical revenues, compared to 45% of total Pharmaceutical revenues in the first six months of 2006. These increases have been fueled by the favorable impact of foreign exchange and higher volumes, despite pricing pressures in international markets.

As is typical in the pharmaceutical industry, our gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions, primarily representing rebates and discounts to government agencies, wholesalers and managed care organizations, with respect to our pharmaceutical products. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations and, as such, judgment is required when estimating the impact of these sales deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Historically, our adjustments to actual have not been material to our overall business. On a quarterly basis, our adjustments to actual generally have been less than 1% of Pharmaceutical net sales and can result in either a net increase or a net decrease to income. Product-specific rebate charges, however, can have a significant impact on year-over-year product growth trends. The rebate adjustments to actual for Lipitor unfavorably impacted revenues for Lipitor during the second quarter of 2007, while in the second quarter of 2006, the rebate adjustments to actual favorably impacted revenues for Lipitor. The inverse relationship between the rebate adjustments contributed to the decline in Lipitor revenues in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.

Rebates under Medicaid and related state programs reduced revenues by $86 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $169 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $251 million in the first six months of 2007, compared to $374 million in the first six months of 2006. The decreases in Medicaid and related state program rebates are due primarily to the impact of the Medicare Act, effective January 1, 2006, and changes in product mix, such as lower sales of Zithromax, Zoloft and Norvasc, all of which lost exclusivity in the U.S.

Rebates under Medicare reduced revenues by $153 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $91 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $200 million in the first six months of 2007 compared to $183 million in the first six months of 2006. The increases in Medicare rebates are due primarily to the impact of the Medicare Act, effective January 1, 2006, partially offset by changes in product mix, such as lower sales of Zithromax, Zoloft and Norvasc, all of which lost exclusivity in the U.S.

Performance-based contract rebates reduced revenues by $391 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $368 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $849 million in the first six months of 2007, compared to $911 million in the first six months of 2006. The performance-based contract rebates were impacted by lower sales of Zithromax, Zoloft and Norvasc, all of which lost exclusivity in the U.S., and the impact of our contracting strategies, primarily related to Lipitor. These contracts are with managed care customers, including health maintenance organizations and pharmacy benefit managers, who receive rebates based on the achievement of contracted performance terms for products. Rebates are product-specific and, therefore, for any given year are impacted by the mix of products sold.

Chargebacks (primarily reimbursements to wholesalers for honoring contracted prices to third parties) reduced revenues by $317 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $335 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $690 million in the first six months of 2007, compared to $688 million in the first six months of 2006. Chargebacks were impacted by the launch of certain generic products, including amlodipine besylate after Norvasc lost U.S. exclusivity in March 2007.

Our accruals for Medicaid rebates, Medicare rebates, contract rebates and chargebacks totaled $1.2 billion as of July 1, 2007, a decrease from $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2006, due primarily to the impact of the Medicare Act, changes in product mix and the impact of our contracting strategies.

Pharmaceutical --Selected Product Descriptions:

| • | Lipitor ,
for the treatment of elevated LDL-cholesterol levels in the blood, is the
most widely used treatment for lowering cholesterol and the best-selling
pharmaceutical product of any kind in the world, with $2.7 billion in
worldwide revenues in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of 13% compared
to the same period in 2006, and $6.1 billion in worldwide revenues in
the first six months of 2007, a decrease of 2% compared to the same period in
2006. In the U.S., revenues of $1.4 billion in the second quarter of
2007 declined 25% compared to the same period in 2006 and in the first six
months of 2007, revenues of $3.5 billion declined 8% compared to the
same period in 2006. Internationally, Lipitor revenues in the second quarter
of 2007 increased 5% and in the first six months of 2007 increased 6%
compared to the same periods in 2006, primarily due to the favorable impact
of foreign exchange. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | The decline in
Lipitor revenues is driven by a combination of factors. The decline in the
second quarter of 2007 from the comparable 2006 period resulted from: | |
| | • | the impact of
an intensely competitive statin market with competition from generic
products, which resulted in a decrease in prescription levels in the U.S. and
an increased number of patients in the U.S. who switched from Lipitor to
generic simvastatin following the entry of multiple generics. In the second
quarter of 2007, we improved Lipitor's switch rate volume, returning towards
pre-multisource generic levels, and have implemented comprehensive plans to
address Lipitor's market position, including physician and patient
initiatives aimed at reducing the rate of switches to generics; |
| | • | increased payer
pressure in the U.S.; |
| | • | increased
rebates associated with our more flexible U.S. contracting strategy, among
other rebate factors. (For an understanding of rebates, see the "Pharmaceutical
Revenue" section of this MD&A.); and |
| | • | a modest
reduction in the dollar value of U.S. wholesaler inventory levels, as
wholesalers adjusted their inventories to reflect the decrease in prescription
levels, |
| | partially
offset by: | |
| | • | growth in the
statin market in the U. S.; and |
| | • | the favorable
impact of foreign exchange. |
| | The decline in
Lipitor revenues in the first six months of 2007 from the comparable period
in 2006 resulted from: | |
| | • | the impact of
an intensely competitive statin market with competition from both generic and
branded products, which resulted in a decrease in prescription levels in the
U.S.; and |
| | • | increased payer
pressure in the U.S., |
| | partially
offset by: | |
| | • | a positive U.S.
pricing impact, net of rebates, notwithstanding a more flexible contracting
strategy; and |
| | • | the favorable
impact of foreign exchange. |
| | On May 30,
2007, we announced the return of Lipitor to Express Scripts Inc.'s preferred
list of drugs as of June 1, 2007, following our rebate agreement. We
expect that the impact of this agreement will be seen in the second half of
2007. | |
| | On March 5,
2007, Lipitor was approved by the FDA for five new indications in patients
with clinically evident heart disease, thereby expanding the U.S. label from
primary prevention in moderate-risk patients to include secondary prevention
in high-risk patients. Lipitor is now the only cholesterol-lowering medicine
approved for the reduction in risk of hospitalization due to heart failure. These
new indications have been incorporated into promotional materials, including
a new direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising campaign, and support the
incremental benefit and overall safety of using higher doses of Lipitor. | |
| | Patents
protecting Lipitor in Canada are being challenged by various generic
companies. One of those companies has been successful at the lower-court
level, and we have appealed that decision, which we believe was wrongly
decided. Lipitor sales in Canada would be adversely affected by generic
competition if the Canadian courts or regulatory authorities allow generic
competition in Canada before the expiration of our Lipitor patents. | |
| | See Part II, Other Information ;
Item 1, Legal Proceedings , of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of
certain patent litigation relating to Lipitor. | |
| • | Norvasc ,
for treating hypertension, lost exclusivity in the U.S. in March 2007, six
months earlier than expected, due to an appellate court decision that was
counter to three previous trial court rulings in Pfizer's favor. Norvasc has
also experienced patent expirations in many E.U. countries but maintains
exclusivity in certain other major markets, including Japan and Canada.
Norvasc worldwide revenues in the first six months of 2007 decreased 27% from
the same period in 2006. See Part II, Other Information ; Item 1, Legal
Proceedings , of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain patent
litigation relating to Norvasc. | |
| • | Caduet ,
a single pill therapy combining Norvasc and Lipitor, recorded worldwide
revenues of $265 million, an increase of 69% for the first six months of
2007, compared to the same period in 2006. This was largely driven by a more
focused message platform and a highly targeted consumer campaign in the U.S. Caduet
was launched in the U.S. in May 2004 and continues to grow at significantly
higher rates than the overall U.S. cardiovascular market. However, with the
introduction of generic amlodipine besylate, in addition to increased
competition, growth over the next several quarters may be impacted. During
the first six months of 2007, Caduet was launched in France, Australia and
Taiwan. We now expect Caduet to launch in Spain in late 2008. | |
| • | Chantix / Champix ,
the first new prescription treatment to aid smoking cessation in nearly a
decade, became available to patients in the U.S. in August 2006, in select
E.U. markets in December 2006 and in Canada in April 2007. Chantix/Champix continues
to demonstrate strong uptake, with nearly 2.5 million U.S. patients
having filled a prescription as of June 15, 2007, representing slightly more
than 5% of adult smokers in the U.S. In the U.S., an unbranded advertising
campaign introduced earlier in 2007 is working to effectively develop the
market, and branded advertising is planned for the third quarter of 2007. We
continue to focus on increasing adherence and have introduced tools to
physicians that provide data behind the benefit of a full 12-week course of
therapy. In addition, we are conducting several pilot programs to reach
patients in their first month of therapy through pharmacy programs, as well
as through our GetQuit behavior modification program. Champix has
secured final approval from the National Institute for Health and Clinical
Excellence (NICE) for use in the state-funded National Health Service in the
U.K., following a positive appraisal decision in May 2007. Our strategy for
this innovative medicine is to build a sustainable, medically supported
market over time and to seek to secure reimbursement--initiatives that we
believe will drive future growth. Chantix/Champix recorded worldwide revenues
of $362 million in the first six months of 2007. | |
| • | Zoloft ,
which lost exclusivity in the U.S. in June 2006 and earlier in many European
markets, experienced an 82% worldwide revenue decline in the first six months
of 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. It is indicated for the
treatment of major depressive disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD) in adults and children, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and social anxiety disorder (SAD).
Zoloft is approved for acute and long-term use in all of these indications,
with the exception of PMDD. Zoloft was launched in Japan in July 2006 for the
indications of depression/depressed state and panic disorder. | |
| | On May 2, 2007,
the FDA proposed that the existing blackbox warning on the labels of all antidepressants,
including Zoloft, which describes an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and
behavior in some children and adolescents, be expanded to include young
adults to age 24, particularly during the first two months of treatment. The
proposed label change also states that studies have not shown this increased
risk in adults older than 24, that adults age 65 and older who are treated
with antidepressants have a decreased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior,
and that depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves
the most important causes of suicide. We have implemented this label change
in accordance with the FDA's proposal. | |
| • | Geodon / Zeldox ,
a psychotropic agent, is a dopamine and serotonin receptor antagonist
indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and acute manic or mixed
episodes associated with bipolar disorder. It is available in both an oral
capsule and rapid-acting intramuscular formulation. In the U.S., Geodon had a
new prescription share of 6.8% for June 2007. In the first six months of 2007,
Geodon worldwide revenues grew 14%, compared to the same period in 2006. Geodon
growth was driven by recognition of its efficacy by prescribers as clinical
experience increased, and by a favorable metabolic profile. | |
| • | Exubera ,
the first inhaled human insulin therapy for glycemic control, received
approvals from both the FDA and the European Commission for the treatment of
adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in early 2006. Exubera represents a
medical advance that offers patients a novel method of introducing insulin
into their systems through the lungs. We continue to be disappointed with its
slow acceptance. Since May 2006, Exubera has been launched in Germany,
Ireland, the U.K. and in the U.S. Initial supplies of Exubera were available
across the U.S. beginning in September 2006. We have found that this product
requires more physician time and more patient-physician interaction than most
products and that more extensive market-development activities are necessary.
In response, in April 2007, we began supporting Exubera with a sales force
that has greater cardiovascular-related experience. We have also trained a
number of diabetes educators, who are now working in doctors' offices, and
with nurses, engaging in clinical discussions to deliver the practical
clinical guidance needed by physicians to help them understand the benefits
of this innovative insulin-delivery system, as well as how to use Exubera. These
resources are in direct response to our customers' need for increased support
in using a novel delivery device. In addition, in the U.S. we began branded direct-to-consumer
(DTC) advertising in print ads in mid-June 2007 and television ads in July
2007. We will continue to monitor the market acceptance of Exubera,
while we seek to effectively establish this important product and serve the millions
of diabetics whose blood sugar is still uncontrolled on current therapy. | |
| • | Lyrica achieved $800 million in worldwide revenues in the first six months of
2007, an increase of 73% over the same period in 2006, continuing its
performance as one of Pfizer's most successful pharmaceutical launches. In
September 2006, Lyrica was approved by the European Commission to treat
central nerve pain, which is associated with conditions such as spinal
injury, stroke and multiple sclerosis. In addition, in March 2006, it was
approved by the European Commission to treat generalized anxiety disorder
(GAD) in adults, thereby providing a new treatment option for the
approximately 20 million Europeans living with GAD. Lyrica gained a 10.4%
new prescription share of the total U.S. anti-epileptic market in June 2007. Lyrica
growth continues to be fueled by strong efficacy, as well as high physician
and patient satisfaction. In June 2007, Lyrica was approved in the U.S. for
the management of fibromyalgia, one of the most common chronic, widespread
pain conditions. This approval represents a breakthrough for the more than
six million Americans who suffer from this debilitating condition who previously
had no FDA-approved treatment. | |
| • | Celebrex achieved a 1% increase in worldwide revenues in the second quarter of 2007
and a 12% increase in worldwide revenues in the first six months of 2007,
compared to the same periods in 2006. In the U.S., Celebrex had a monthly new
prescription share of 10.6% in June 2007. In the U.S. revenues declined 4% in
the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, driven by a
modest decline in volume. | |
| | In January
2007, Celebrex was approved in Japan for the treatment of osteoarthritis and
rheumatoid arthritis. In February 2007, Celebrex was approved in Europe for
the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. In April 2007, we launched an
innovative Celebrex DTC television advertising campaign in the U.S. to
re-initiate a productive patient-physician dialogue about treatment options
for arthritis. The 2½-minute television advertisement opens by addressing
cardiovascular (CV) safety first and clarifies misperceptions among arthritis
sufferers about the risks and benefits of Celebrex and other prescription
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This DTC ad campaign is helping to
stimulate patient interest and initiate a productive dialogue between
physicians and patients. The number of weekly visits to the Celebrex website
has doubled and the number of calls to the patient 800 number has increased
since the introduction of the ad. Future growth in demand for Celebrex depends
in part on the impact of DTC advertising, as well as continued successful
execution of the "CV first" strategy by the new and refocused U.S. sales
force. | |
| • | Zithromax/Zmax experienced a 44% decline in worldwide revenues in the first six months of
2007 compared to the same period of 2006, reflecting the expiration of Zithromax's
composition-of-matter patent in the U.S. in November 2005 and the end of
Pfizer's active sales promotion in July 2005. | |
| • | Viagra remains the leading treatment for erectile dysfunction and one of the world's
most recognized pharmaceutical brands, with more than 53.5% of U.S. total
prescriptions in the erectile dysfunction market through June 2007. Viagra revenues
grew 4% worldwide--with U.S. revenues declining 2% and international revenues
increasing 10%--in the first six months of 2007, compared to the same period
in 2006. The growth in Viagra international revenues was driven by foreign
exchange, as well as a combination of other factors, including a focus on
strengthening its value proposition to key customers and growth in the erectile
dysfunction market. In July 2007, we launched a television ad campaign in the
U.S. for Viagra aimed at educating and motivating men with erectile
dysfunction to seek treatment. | |
| • | Detrol / Detrol
LA , a muscarinic receptor antagonist, is the most prescribed medicine worldwide
for overactive bladder, a condition that affects up to 100 million
people around the world. Detrol/Detrol LA is an extended-release formulation
taken once daily. Worldwide Detrol/Detrol LA revenues grew 11% to $572 million
in the first six months of 2007. Detrol/Detrol LA continues to lead the
overactive bladder market and perform well in an increasingly competitive
marketplace. In the U.S., Detrol/Detrol LA's new prescription share declined 3.4%
to a 40.2% share for the first six months of 2007. | |
| • | Camptosar is indicated as first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer in
combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin. It is also indicated for
patients in whom metastatic colorectal cancer has recurred or progressed
despite following initial fluorouracil-based therapy. Camptosar is for
intravenous use only. Worldwide revenues in the first six months of 2007 increased
4% to $470 million, compared to the same period in 2006. The National
Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), an alliance of 21 of the world's leading
cancer centers, has issued guidelines recommending Camptosar as an option
across all lines of treatment for advanced colorectal cancer. We will lose
U.S. exclusivity for Camptosar in 2008. | |
| • | Sutent is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor that combines anti-angiogenic and
anti-tumor activity to inhibit the blood supply to tumors and has direct
anti-tumor effects. Sutent was approved by the FDA and launched in the U.S.
in January 2006 for advanced renal cell carcinoma, including metastatic renal
cell carcinoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) after disease
progression on, or intolerance to, imatinib mesylate. In the first quarter of
2007, the U.S. label was revised to include new first-line advanced renal
cell carcinoma data. In January 2007, Sutent received full marketing
authorization and extension of the indication to first-line treatment of
advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), as well as approval
as a second-line treatment for GIST, in the E.U. We believe that future
growth of Sutent will be fueled by emerging new data in a range of potential
new indications. Sutent recorded $248 million in worldwide revenues in
the first six months of 2007. | |
| • | Xalatan / Xalacom ,
a prostaglandin analogue used to lower the intraocular pressure associated
with glaucoma and ocular hypertension, is one of the world's leading branded
glaucoma medicines. Clinical data showing its advantages in treating
intraocular pressure compared with beta blockers should support the continued
growth of this important medicine. Xalacom, the only fixed combination
prostaglandin (Xalatan) and beta blocker, is available primarily in European
markets. Xalatan/Xalacom worldwide revenues grew 9% in the first six months
of 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. | |
| • | Zyrtec provides strong, rapid and long-lasting relief for seasonal and year-round
allergies and hives with once-daily dosing. Zyrtec continues to be the
most-prescribed antihistamine in the U.S. in a challenging market. Worldwide
revenues increased 6% in the first six months of 2007, compared to the same
period in 2006. We will lose U.S. exclusivity for Zyrtec in December 2007.
Since we sold our rights to market Zyrtec over-the-counter in connection with
the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business, we expect no revenues from
Zyrtec after the expiration of the U.S. patent in December. | |

Animal Health

Revenues of our Animal Health business follow:

| (millions
of dollars) | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 | % Change | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 | % Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Livestock products | $ 379 | $ 359 | 6% | $ 735 | $ 671 | 10 % |
| Companion animal products | 253 | 224 | 13 | 483 | 423 | 14 |
| Total Animal Health | $ 632 | $ 583 | 9 | $ 1,218 | $ 1,094 | 11 |

Our Animal Health business is one of the largest in the world.

The increase in Animal Health revenues in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006, was primarily attributable to:

| • | for livestock products, the
continued good performance of our premium anti-infectives for cattle and
swine, and intramammaries in the first half of 2007, as well as revenues from
Embrex, Inc., which we acquired in the first quarter of 2007; |
| --- | --- |
| • | for companion animal products, the good
performances of Revolution (a parasiticide for dogs and cats); Rimadyl (for
treatment of pain and inflammation associated with canine osteoarthritis and
soft-tissue orthopedic surgery); and new product launches, such as Convenia
(first-in-class single-dose treatment antibiotic therapy for dogs and cats),
Slentrol (weight management for dogs) and Cerenia (treatment and prevention
of vomiting in dogs); and |
| • | the favorable impact of foreign
exchange. |

Product Developments

We continue to invest in R&D to provide future sources of revenues through the development of new products, as well as through additional uses for existing in-line and alliance products. We have a broad and deep pipeline of medicines in development. However, there are no assurances as to when, or if, we will receive regulatory approval for additional indications for existing products or any of our other products in development. Below are significant regulatory actions by, and filings pending with, the FDA and other major regulatory authorities.

Recent FDA Approvals:

Product Indication Date Approved
Selzentry/(maraviroc) Treatment of
human immuno-deficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency (HIV) in CCR5-tropic
treatment-experienced patients August 2007
Lyrica Treatment of
fibromyalgia June 2007
Fragmin For the
prevention of blood clots in patients with cancer May 2007
Lipitor Secondary
prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with established
coronary heart disease (CHD) March 2007

Pending U.S. New Drug Applications (NDAs) and Supplemental Filings:

Product Indication Date Submitted
Zmax Bacterial
infections-sustained release-Pediatric acute otitis media filing November 2006
Fesoterodine (a) Treatment of
overactive bladder March 2006
Vfend Fungal
infections-Pediatric filing June 2005
dalbavancin Treatment of complicated
skin/skin structure gram-positive bacterial infections December 2004

(a) We received an "approvable" letter from the FDA for fesoterodine for the treatment of overactive bladder in January 2007.

Regulatory review of fesoterodine is progressing in the U.S. and fesoterodine was approved in the E.U. in April 2007. We are working with Schwarz Pharma, the licensor, to scale up manufacturing and define sourcing alternatives. Launch is planned for the latter half of 2008 in Europe and, subject to FDA approval, early 2009 in the U.S.

In June 2006, the FDA designated as approvable the NDA for dalbavancin. In June 2007, we re-submitted our NDA filing for dalbavancin and we anticipate a successful resolution of outstanding issues to allow final FDA approval by year-end 2007 and launch in early 2008.

We received "not-approvable" letters from the FDA for lasofoxifene for the prevention of post-menopausal osteoporosis in September 2005 and for the treatment of vaginal atrophy in January 2006. We have reviewed the viability of the lasofoxifene treatment program using three-year interim data from the Postmenopausal Evaluation And Risk-reduction with Lasofoxifene (PEARL) study, and based on our assessment, we are planning to file a new NDA for the treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis in the fourth quarter of 2007. In September 2005, we received a "not-approvable" letter for Dynastat (parecoxib), an injectable prodrug for valdecoxib for the treatment of acute pain. We have had discussions with the FDA regarding this letter, and we are considering plans to address the FDA's concerns.

Additional product-related programs are in various stages of discovery and development. Also, see our discussion in the "Our Strategic Initiatives--Strategy and Recent Transactions: Acquisitions, Licensing and Collaborations" section of this MD&A.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased 18% in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of 2006, and 15% in the first six months of 2007, compared to the first six months of 2006. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased 3.8 percentage points in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of 2006, and 2.3 percentage points in the first six months of 2007, compared to the first six months of 2006. These increases reflect:

| • | unfavorable impact of product and
geographic mix on our average cost of sales as a result of the loss of U.S.
exclusivity for products (such as Zoloft and Norvasc) and lower sales of Lipitor; |
| --- | --- |
| • | the impact of higher AtS
implementation costs of $170 million in the second quarter of 2007,
compared to $104 million in the second quarter of 2006, and $264 million
in the first six months of 2007, compared to $228 million in the first
six months of 2006. |
| • | costs of $45 million for the
second quarter of 2007 and $80 million for the first six months of 2007,
related to business transition activities, associated with the sale of our
Consumer Healthcare business, completed in December 2006; and |
| • | the unfavorable impact of foreign
exchange on expenses, |

partially offset by:

• savings related to our AtS productivity initiative.

Selling, Informational and Administrative Expenses

Selling, informational and administrative (SI&A) expenses decreased 1% in both the second quarter of 2007 and the first six month of 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006, which reflects:

| • | timing considerations associated
with our annual investments in promotional programs; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | savings related to our AtS
productivity initiative, |

partially offset by:

| • | the impact of higher AtS
implementation costs of $79 million in the second quarter of 2007,
compared to $58 million in the second quarter of 2006, and $128 million
in the first six months of 2007, compared to $97 million for the first
six months of 2006; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | the unfavorable impact of foreign
exchange on expenses. |

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased 24% in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of 2006, and 17% in the first six months of 2007, compared to the first six months of 2006, which reflects:

| • | an upfront payment to BMS of $250 million
and additional payments to BMS related to product development efforts, in
connection with our collaboration to develop and commercialize apixaban,
recorded in the second quarter of 2007; |
| --- | --- |
| • | a one-time R&D milestone due to
us from sanofi-aventis (approximately $118 million) recorded in the
first quarter of 2006; |
| • | the impact of higher AtS
implementation costs of $131 million in the second quarter of 2007,
compared to $40 million in the second quarter of 2006, and $162 million
for the first six months of 2007, compared to $62 million in the first
six months of 2006; |
| • | the unfavorable impact of foreign
exchange on expenses, |

partially offset by:

• savings related to our AtS productivity initiative.

Acquisition-Related In-Process Research and Development Charges

The estimated fair value of Acquisition-related in-process research and development charges (IPR&D) is expensed at acquisition date. IPR&D of $283 million primarily related to our acquisitions of BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corp. and Embrex, Inc. was recorded in the first quarter 2007 and $513 million, primarily related to the acquisition of Rinat Neuroscience Corp., was recorded in the second quarter 2006.

Adapting to Scale Productivity Initiative

In connection with the AtS productivity initiative, which was launched in early 2005 and broadened in October 2006, our management has performed a comprehensive review of our processes, organizations, systems and decision-making procedures in a company-wide effort to improve performance and efficiency. On January 22, 2007, we announced additional plans to change the way we run our businesses to meet the challenges of a changing business environment and to take advantage of the diverse opportunities in the marketplace. We are generating net cost reductions through site rationalization in research and manufacturing, streamlined organizational structures, sales force and staff function reductions, and increased outsourcing and procurement savings.

The actions associated with the expanded AtS productivity initiative include restructuring charges, such as asset impairments, exit costs and severance costs (including any related impacts to our benefit plans, including settlements and curtailments) and associated implementation costs, such as accelerated depreciation charges, primarily associated with plant network optimization efforts, and expenses associated with system and process standardization and the expansion of shared services. (See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements- Note 5. Adapting to Scale Productivity Initiative. ) The strengthening of the euro and other currencies relative to the dollar, while favorable on Revenues , has had an adverse impact on our expenses, including the reported impact of these cost reduction efforts.

We incurred the following costs in connection with our AtS productivity initiative:

| (millions
of dollars) | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 | July 1, 2007 | July 2, 2006 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Total AtS costs | $ 1,352 | $ 442 | $ 2,321 | $ 921 |

the second quarter of 2007, included in Cost of sales ($170 million), Selling, informational and administrative expenses ($79 million), Research and development expenses ($131 million) and Other

(income)/deductions - net ($22 million income).For the first six
months of 2007, included in Cost of sales ($264 million), Selling,
informational and administrative expenses ($128 million), Research
and development expenses ($162 million) and Other
(income)/deductions - net ($63 million income). For the first six
months of 2006, included in Cost of sales ($228 million), Selling,
informational and administrative expenses ($97 million), Research
and development expenses ($62 million) and Other
(income)/deductions - net ($22 million income). |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | Included
in Restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs. |

Other (Income)/Deductions-Net

In the second quarter and first six months of 2007, we recorded higher net interest income compared to the same periods in 2006, due primarily to higher interest rates and an increase in our net financial assets, reflecting proceeds of $16.6 billion from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business in late December 2006.

PROVISION FOR TAXES ON INCOME

In the first quarter of 2006, we were notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Appeals Division that a resolution had been reached on the matter that we were in the process of appealing related to the tax deductibility of an acquisition-related breakup fee paid by the Warner-Lambert Company in 2000. As a result, in the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $441 million related to the resolution of this issue.

On January 23, 2006, the IRS issued final regulations on Statutory Mergers and Consolidations, which impacted certain prior-period transactions. In the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a tax benefit of $217 million, reflecting the total impact of these regulations.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 16.8% for the second quarter of 2007, compared to 25.6% for the second quarter of 2006, and 16.9% for the first six months of 2007, compared to 14.3% for the first six months of 2006. The lower tax rate for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006, primarily reflects the impact of a $513 million charge in the second quarter of 2006 for IPR&D, which is not deductible for tax purposes, as well as the volume and geographic mix of restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The higher tax rate for the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006, primarily reflects certain one-time tax benefits in 2006 associated with favorable tax legislation and the resolution of certain tax positions in the first quarter of 2006, as discussed above, partially offset by the impact of the $283 million charge for IPR&D in the first six months of 2007, compared to the $513 million charge for the same period in 2006, which is not deductible for tax purposes, among other factors. (See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements- Note 6. Taxes on Income. )

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - NET OF TAX

In December 2006, we sold our Consumer Healthcare business and this business has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

ADJUSTED INCOME

General Description of Adjusted Income Measure

Adjusted income is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We report Adjusted income in order to portray the results of our major operations--the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of prescription medicines for humans and animals--prior to considering certain income statement elements. We have defined Adjusted income as Net income before the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations and certain significant items. The Adjusted income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP Net income.

The Adjusted income measure is an important internal measurement for Pfizer. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis. The following are examples of how the Adjusted income measure is utilized.

| • | Senior management receives a
monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an Adjusted
income basis; |
| --- | --- |
| • | Our annual budgets are prepared on
an Adjusted income basis; and |
| • | Annual and long-term compensation,
including annual cash bonuses, merit-based salary adjustments and share-based
payments for various levels of management, is based on financial measures
that include Adjusted income. The Adjusted income measure currently
represents a significant portion of target objectives that are utilized to
determine the annual compensation for various levels of management, although
the actual weighting of the objective may vary by level of management and job
responsibility and may be considered in the determination of certain
long-term compensation plans. The portion of senior management's bonus,
merit-based salary increase and stock option awards based on the Adjusted
income measure ranges from 10% to 30%. |

Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that Adjusted income is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Because of its non-standardized definition, Adjusted income (unlike U.S. GAAP Net income) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Adjusted income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance.

We also recognize that, as an internal measure of performance, the Adjusted income measure has limitations and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to this metric. A limitation of the Adjusted income measure is that it provides a view of our operations without including all events during a period such as the effects of an acquisition or amortization of purchased intangibles and does not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in the pharmaceutical industry. We also use other specifically tailored tools designed to ensure the highest levels of our performance. For example, our R&D organization has productivity targets, upon which its effectiveness is measured. In addition, Performance Share Awards grants made in 2006, the first half of 2007 and future years will be paid based on a non-discretionary formula that measures our performance using relative total shareholder return.

Purchase Accounting Adjustments

Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering certain significant purchase-accounting impacts, such as those related to our acquisitions of BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corp., Embrex, Inc., Rinat, and sanofi-aventis' rights to Exubera, as well as net asset acquisitions. These impacts can include charges for purchased in-process R&D, the incremental charge to cost of sales from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value and the incremental charges related to the amortization of finite-lived intangible assets for the increase to fair value. Therefore, the Adjusted income measure includes the revenues earned upon the sale of the acquired products without considering the aforementioned significant charges.

Certain of the purchase-accounting adjustments associated with a business combination, such as the amortization of intangibles acquired in connection with our acquisition of Pharmacia in 2003, can occur for up to 40 years (these assets have a weighted-average useful life of approximately nine years), but this presentation provides an alternative view of our performance that is used by management to internally assess business performance. We believe the elimination of amortization attributable to acquired intangible assets provides management and investors an alternative view of our business results by trying to provide a degree of parity to internally developed intangible assets for which research and development costs have been previously expensed.

However, a completely accurate comparison of internally developed intangible assets and acquired intangible assets cannot be achieved through Adjusted income. This component of Adjusted income is derived solely with the impacts of the items listed in the first paragraph of this section. We have not factored in the impacts of any other differences in experience that might have occurred if we had discovered and developed those intangible assets on our own, and this approach is not intended to be representative of the results that would have occurred in those circumstances. For example, our research and development costs in total, and in the periods presented, may have been different; our speed to commercialization and resulting sales, if any, may have been different; or our costs to manufacture may have been different. In addition, our marketing efforts may have been received differently by our customers. As such, in total, there can be no assurance that our Adjusted income amounts would have been the same as presented had we discovered and developed the acquired intangible assets.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering integration and restructuring costs associated with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs that were incurred to restructure and integrate two businesses as a result of the acquisition decision. For additional clarity, only restructuring and integration activities that are associated with a purchase business combination or a net-asset acquisition are included in acquisition-related costs. We have made no adjustments for the resulting synergies.

We believe that viewing income prior to considering these charges provides investors with a useful additional perspective because the significant costs incurred in a business combination result primarily from the need to eliminate duplicate assets, activities or employees--a natural result of acquiring a fully integrated set of activities. For this reason, we believe that the costs incurred to convert disparate systems, to close duplicative facilities or to eliminate duplicate positions (for example, in the context of a business combination) can be viewed differently from those costs incurred in other, more normal business contexts.

The integration and restructuring costs associated with a business combination may occur over several years with the more significant impacts ending within three years of the transaction. Because of the need for certain external approvals for some actions, the span of time needed to achieve certain restructuring and integration activities can be lengthy. For example, due to the highly regulated nature of the pharmaceutical business, the closure of excess facilities can take several years as all manufacturing changes are subject to extensive validation and testing and must be approved by the FDA.

Discontinued Operations

Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering the results of operations included in discontinued operations, such as our Consumer Healthcare business, which we sold in December 2006, as well as any related gains or losses on the sale of such operations. We believe that this presentation is meaningful to investors because, while we review our businesses and product lines periodically for strategic fit with our operations, we do not build or run our businesses with an intent to sell them.

Certain Significant Items

Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering certain significant items. Certain significant items represent substantive, unusual items that are evaluated on an individual basis. Such evaluation considers both the quantitative and the qualitative aspect of their unusual nature. Unusual, in this context, may represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis; items that would be non-recurring; or items that relate to products we no longer sell. While not all-inclusive, examples of items that could be included as certain significant items would be a major non-acquisition-related restructuring charge and associated implementation costs for a program which is specific in nature with a defined term, such as those related to our AtS productivity initiative; charges related to sales or disposals of products or facilities that do not qualify as discontinued operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; amounts associated with transition service agreements in support of discontinued operations after sale; certain intangible asset impairments; adjustments related to the resolution of certain tax positions; or possible charges related to legal matters, such as certain of those discussed in Legal Proceedings in our Form 10-K and in Part II: Other Information; Item 1, Legal Proceedings included in our Form 10-Q filings. Normal, ongoing defense costs of the Company or settlements and accruals on legal matters made in the normal course of our business would not be considered a certain significant item.

| Total debt | 8,209 | 7,980 |
| Net financial
assets | $ 19,651 | $ 24,139 |

Short-term investments at December 31, 2006, reflects the receipt of proceeds of $16.6 billion from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business on December 20, 2006.

We rely largely on operating cash flow, short-term investments, long-term debt and short-term commercial paper borrowings to provide for the working capital needs of our operations, including our R&D activities. We believe that we have the ability to obtain both short-term and long-term debt to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future.

Investments

Our short-term and long-term investments consist primarily of high-quality, liquid investment-grade available-for-sale debt securities. Wherever possible, cash management is centralized and intercompany financing is used to provide working capital to our operations. Where local restrictions prevent intercompany financing, working capital needs are met through operating cash flows and/or external borrowings. Our portfolio of short-term investments at December 31, 2006, reflects the receipt of proceeds from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business of $16.6 billion. Our portfolio of short-term investments was reduced in the first half of 2007 and the proceeds were primarily used to pay taxes due on the gain from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business, completed in December 2006, and for share repurchases and dividends in the first six months of 2007.

Long-Term Debt

On May 11, 2007, we issued the following notes to be used for general corporate purposes:

• $1.2 billion equivalent, senior, unsecured, euro-denominated notes, due May 15, 2017, which pay interest annually, beginning on May 15, 2008, at a fixed rate of 4.55%.

The notes were issued under a new securities registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in March 2007.

Two major corporate debt-rating organizations, Moody's Investors Services (Moody's) and Standard & Poor's (S&P), assign ratings to our short-term and long-term debt. The following chart reflects the current ratings assigned to our senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term debt and commercial paper issued directly by us by each of these agencies:

| Name of Rating
Agency | Commercial
Paper | Long-Term-Debt — Rating | Outlook | Date
of — Last
Action |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Moody's | P-1 | Aa1 | Stable | December
2006 |
| S&P | A1+ | AAA | Negative | December
2006 |

Our access to financing at favorable rates would be affected by a substantial downgrade in our credit ratings.

Debt Capacity

We have available lines of credit and revolving-credit agreements with a group of banks and other financial intermediaries. We maintain cash balances and short-term investments in excess of our commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. As of July 1, 2007, we had access to $3.6 billion of lines of credit, of which $1.3 billion expire within one year. Of these lines of credit, $3.4 billion are unused, of which our lenders have committed to loan us $2.1 billion at our request. $2.0 billion of the unused lines of credit, which expire in 2012, may be used to support our commercial paper borrowings.

In March 2007, we filed a new securities registration statement with the SEC. This registration statement was filed under the automatic shelf registration process available to well-known seasoned issuers and is effective for three years. We can issue securities of various types under that registration statement at any time, but subject to indebtedness limitations established from time to time by our Board of Directors.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As of July 1, 2007, Goodwill totaled $21.0 billion (19% of our total assets) and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $22.9 billion (21% of our total assets). The largest components of Goodwill and other intangible assets were acquired in connection with our acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation in 2003. Finite-lived intangible assets, net, include $18.9 billion related to developed technology rights and $582 million related to brands. Indefinite-lived intangible assets include $2.9 billion related to brands.

The developed technology rights primarily represent the amortized acquisition-date fair value of the commercialized products that we acquired from Pharmacia in 2003. We acquired a well-diversified portfolio of developed technology rights across the therapeutic categories displayed in the table of major Pharmaceutical products in the "Revenues" section of this MD&A. While the Arthritis and Pain therapeutic category represents about 28% of the total value of developed technology rights as of July 1, 2007, the balance of the value is evenly distributed across the following Pharmaceutical therapeutic product categories: Ophthalmology; Oncology; Urology; Infectious and Respiratory Diseases; Endocrine Disorders categories; and, as a group, the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases; Central Nervous System Disorders and All Other categories.

SELECTED MEASURES OF LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table sets forth certain relevant measures of our liquidity and capital resources:

| (millions
of dollars, except ratios and per common share data) — Cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments and loans | $ 22,793 | $ 28,227 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Working capital (a) | $ 26,486 | $ 25,560 |
| Ratio of current assets to current
liabilities | 2.75:1 | 2.20:1 |
| Shareholders' equity per common
share (b) | $ 9.82 | $ 10.05 |

| (a) | Working
capital includes assets of discontinued operations and other assets held for
sale of $34 million as of July 1, 2007, and $62 million as of
December 31, 2006. Working capital also includes liabilities of discontinued
operations and other liabilities held for sale of nil as of July 1, 2007, and
$2 million as of December 31, 2006. |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | Represents
total shareholders' equity divided by the actual number of common shares
outstanding (which excludes treasury shares and those held by our employee
benefit trust). |

The increases in working capital and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, as of July 1, 2007, compared to December 31, 2006, were primarily due to:

• the reclassification of certain amounts associated with uncertain tax positions (about $4.0 billion) from current to noncurrent upon adoption of a new accounting standard,

partially offset by:

• the funding of share purchases and dividends in part through the use of the proceeds from the redemption of short-term investments.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

During the first six months of 2007, net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 billion, compared to $9.1 billion in the same period of 2006. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to:

| • | higher tax payments ($2.8 billion)
in the first six months of 2007, related primarily to the gain on the sale of
our Consumer Healthcare business in December 2006; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | lower income from operations. |

In 2006, the estimated net cash flows provided by operating activities associated with discontinued operations were not significant.

The cash flow line item called Changes in assets and liabilities (net of businesses acquired and divested) in 2007, compared to 2006, primarily reflects higher taxes paid, partially offset by restructuring charges expensed, but not yet paid.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

During the first six months of 2007, net cash provided by investing activities was $3.5 billion, compared to $4.3 billion in the same period in 2006. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to:

• lower net redemptions of investments in 2007 (a negative change in cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 billion),

partially offset by:

• the acquisitions of BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corp. and Embrex, Inc. in 2007, compared to the acquisitions of Rinat and sanofi-aventis' rights associated with Exubera in 2006 (a decreased use of cash of $1.5 billion).

In 2006, the estimated net cash flows used in investing activities associated with discontinued operations were not significant.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

During the first six months of 2007, net cash used in financing activities was $8.2 billion, compared to $13.7 billion in the same period in 2006. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to:

| • | net borrowings of $498 million
in 2007, compared to net repayments of $8.6 billion on total borrowings in
2006, |
| --- | --- |
| partially offset by: | |
| • | higher purchases of common stock in
2007 of $5.0 billion, compared to $2.0 billion in 2006; and |
| • | an increase in cash dividends paid
of $572 million, reflecting an increase in the dividend rate partially
offset by lower shares outstanding. |

In 2006, the estimated net cash flows used in financing activities associated with discontinued operations were not significant.

In June 2005, we announced a $5 billion share-purchase program, which is primarily being funded by operating cash flows and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business. In June 2006, the Board of Directors increased our share-purchase authorization from $5 billion to $18 billion. During the first six months of 2007, we purchased approximately 190 million shares under that program for approximately $5.0 billion.

Contractual Obligations

The contractual obligations table as of December 31, 2006, included in the "Financial Review" section of our 2006 Financial Report did not reflect amounts associated with uncertain tax positions. As a result of the adoption as of January 1, 2007, of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS 109 , Accounting for Income Taxes, and supplemented by FASB Financial Staff Position FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 , issued May 2, 2007 (see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements- Note 2. Adoption of New Accounting Policy) , our disclosure of contractual obligations will now include information concerning uncertain tax positions. As of July 1, 2007, there have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations. Except for amounts reflected in Income taxes payable , we are unable to predict the timing of tax settlements as tax audits can involve complex issues and the resolution of those issues may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with a transaction or related to activities prior to a transaction. These indemnifications typically pertain to environmental, tax, employee and/or product-related matters, and patent infringement claims. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we would be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications are generally subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations. Historically, we have not paid significant amounts under these provisions and, as of July 1, 2007, recorded amounts for the estimated fair value of these indemnifications are not significant.

Certain of our co-promotion or license agreements give our licensors or partners the rights to negotiate for, or in some cases to obtain, under certain financial conditions, co-promotion or other rights in specified countries with respect to certain of our products.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

As of January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48, which provides guidance on the recognition, derecognition and measurement of tax positions for financial statement purposes. Prior to 2007, our policy had been to account for income tax contingencies based on whether we determined our tax position to be 'probable' under current tax law of being sustained, as well as an analysis of potential outcomes under a given set of facts and circumstances. FIN 48 requires that tax positions be sustainable based on a 'more likely than not' standard of benefit recognition under current tax law, and adjusted to reflect the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement, presuming that the tax position is examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we reduced our existing liabilities for uncertain tax positions by approximately $11 million, which has been recorded as a direct adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings, and changed the classification of virtually all amounts associated with uncertain tax positions, including the associated accrued interest, from current to noncurrent, as of the date of adoption.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of July 1, 2007

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements . SFAS 157 provides guidance for, among other things, the definition of fair value and the methods used to measure fair value. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our financial statements.

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 07-3 , Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities . EITF Issue No. 07-3 provides guidance concerning the accounting for non-refundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future R&D activities and requires that they be expensed when the research and development activity has been performed and not at the time of payment. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 07-3 are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to Retained Earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting EITF Issue No. 07-3 on our financial statements.

OUTLOOK

At current exchange rates, we expect 2007 revenues of $47 billion to $48 billion, reported diluted EPS of $1.30 to $1.41 and Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.08 to $2.15. This forecast reflects an adverse court decision which resulted in the loss of U.S. exclusivity for Norvasc six months earlier than expected; higher than previously anticipated favorability of foreign exchange resulting from the further weakness of the dollar relative to various other currencies; and a range of variability in the performance of our products, including Lipitor, Exubera and Chantix.

We have incorporated into our current forecast for full-year 2007 worldwide Lipitor revenues a moderation in the level of decline of prescriptions in the U.S. market relative to the second quarter of 2007, reflecting extensive promotional and contracting efforts, as well as an increase in the level of contracting rebates consistent with our current, more flexible contracting strategy. At current exchange rates, we now expect full-year 2007 worldwide Lipitor revenues of flat to a 5% decline relative to 2006.

At current exchange rates, we forecast 2008 revenues of $46.5 billion to $48.5 billion, reported diluted EPS of $1.75 to $1.93 and Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.31 to $2.45. This forecast reflects a residual adverse impact next year from the loss of U.S. exclusivity for Norvasc in March 2007; heightened uncertainty regarding patent protection for Lipitor in Canada as the result of an adverse lower-court decision, which we have appealed; higher than previously anticipated favorability of foreign exchange, resulting from the further weakness of the dollar relative to various other currencies; the recent FDA approval of a fibromyalgia indication for Lyrica; and a range of variability in the performance of our products, including Lipitor, Exubera and Chantix.

At current exchange rates, we expect cash flow from operations of $12 billion to $13 billion in 2007 and $18 billion to $19 billion in 2008. We continue to expect to purchase up to $10 billion of our stock in 2007 under our expanded share-purchase program. At current exchange rates, we now anticipate that the SI&A pre-tax component of Adjusted income will approximate $15.2 billion this year. Absent the impact of foreign exchange, we continue to target, and are on track to achieve, a year-over-year absolute reduction of more than $500 million in the SI&A pre-tax component of Adjusted income associated with our efforts to restructure our cost base. In 2008, at current exchange rates, we continue to expect to achieve an absolute net reduction of the pre-tax total expense component of Adjusted income of at least $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion, compared to 2006. (For an understanding of Adjusted income, see the "Adjusted Income" section of this MD&A.)

"Current exchange rates", as referenced in this Outlook section, is defined as rates approximating foreign currency spot rates at the end of our second quarter for international operations (May 2007).

Given these and other factors, a reconciliation, at current exchange rates and reflecting management's current assessment for 2007 and 2008, of forecasted 2007 and 2008 Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted EPS to forecasted 2007 and 2008 reported Net income and reported diluted EPS, follows:

Our forecasted financial performance in 2007 and 2008 is subject to a number of factors and uncertainties--as described in the "Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results" section below.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written or oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set forth anticipated results based on management's plans and assumptions. Such forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "target," "forecast" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance or business plans and prospects. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, business plans and prospects, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:

| • | The success of research and
development activities; |
| --- | --- |
| • | Decisions by regulatory authorities
regarding whether and when to approve our drug applications as well as their
decisions regarding labeling and other matters that could affect the
availability or commercial potential of our products; |
| • | The speed with which regulatory
authorizations, pricing approvals and product launches may be achieved; |
| • | The success of external business
development activities; |
| • | Competitive developments, including
with respect to competitor drugs and drug candidates that treat diseases and
conditions similar to those treated by our in-line drugs and drug candidates; |
| • | The ability to successfully market
both new and existing products domestically and internationally; |
| • | Difficulties or delays in
manufacturing; |
| • | Trade buying patterns; |
| • | The ability to meet generic and
branded competition after the loss of patent protection for our products and
competitor products; |
| • | The impact of existing and future
regulatory provisions on product exclusivity; |
| • | Trends toward managed care and
healthcare cost containment; |
| • | U.S. legislation or regulatory
action affecting, among other things, pharmaceutical product pricing,
reimbursement or access, including under Medicaid and Medicare, the
importation of prescription drugs that are marketed from outside the U.S. at
prices that are regulated by governments of various foreign countries, and
the involuntary approval of prescription medicines for over-the-counter use; |
| • | The impact of the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003; |
| • | Legislation or regulatory action in
markets outside the U.S. affecting pharmaceutical product pricing,
reimbursement or access; |
| • | Contingencies related to actual or
alleged environmental contamination; |
| • | Claims and concerns that may arise
regarding the safety or efficacy of in-line products and product candidates; |
| • | Legal defense costs, insurance
expenses, settlement costs and the risk of an adverse decision or settlement
related to product liability, patent protection, governmental investigations,
ongoing efforts to explore various means for resolving asbestos litigation
and other legal proceedings; |
| • | The Company's ability to protect
its patents and other intellectual property both domestically and
internationally; |
| • | Interest rate and foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations; |
| • | Governmental laws and regulations
affecting domestic and foreign operations, including tax obligations; |
| • | Changes in U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles; |
| • | Any changes in business, political
and economic conditions due to the threat of terrorist activity in the U.S.
and other parts of the world, and related U.S. military action overseas; |
| • | Growth in costs and expenses; |
| • | Changes in our product, segment and
geographic mix; and |
| • | The impact of acquisitions,
divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items,
including our ability to realize the projected benefits of our Adapting to
Scale multi-year productivity initiative, including the projected benefits of
the broadening of this initiative over the next few years. |

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of anticipated results is subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Form 10-K filing for the 2006 fiscal year listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Part I, Item 1A, of that filing under the heading "Risk Factors and Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results." We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and investors should refer to it. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

This report includes discussion of certain clinical studies relating to various in-line products and/or product candidates. These studies typically are part of a larger body of clinical data relating to such products or product candidates, and the discussion herein should be considered in the context of the larger body of data.

Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

We and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various patent, product liability, consumer, commercial, securities and environmental litigations and claims; government investigations; and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

We record accruals for such contingencies to the extent that we conclude their occurrence is probable and the related damages are estimable. If a range of liability is probable and estimable and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we accrue that amount. If a range of liability is probable and estimable and no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we accrue the minimum of such probable range. Many claims involve highly complex issues relating to causation, label warnings, scientific evidence, actual damages and other matters. Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. Consequently, we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued for these contingencies. These assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts do occur. Although we believe we have substantial defenses in these matters, we could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular period.

Patent claims include challenges to the coverage and/or validity of our patents on various products or processes. Although we believe we have substantial defenses to these challenges with respect to all our material patents, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these matters, and a loss in any of these cases could result in a loss of patent protection for the drug at issue, which could lead to a significant loss of sales of that drug and could materially affect future results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Information required by this item is incorporated by reference from the discussion under the heading Financial Risk Management in our 2006 Financial Report, which is filed as Exhibit 13 to our 2006 Form 10-K.

In addition, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert the fixed rate associated with the long-term euro-denominated notes issued on May 11, 2007, to a floating rate. We also entered into a currency swap to offset the foreign exchange effects of the remeasurement of those euro-denominated notes. This currency swap is not designated as a hedge, but serves to economically limit our foreign exchange risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

During our most recent fiscal quarter, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, we do wish to highlight some changes which, taken together, are expected to have a favorable impact on our controls over a multi-year period. We continue to pursue a multi-year initiative to outsource some transaction-processing activities within certain accounting processes and are migrating to a consistent enterprise resource planning system across the organization. These are enhancements of ongoing activities to support the growth of our financial shared service capabilities and standardize our financial systems. None of these initiatives is in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2006 Financial Report; Part I, Item 3, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006; and Part II, Item 1, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2007. The following discussion is limited to certain recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with those earlier Reports. Unless otherwise indicated, all proceedings discussed in those earlier Reports remain outstanding. Reference also is made to the Legal Proceedings and Contingencies section in Part I, Item 2, of this Form 10-Q.

Patent Matters

Norvasc (amlodipine)

Amlodipine besylate is the salt form contained in Norvasc. As previously reported, between January 2006 and February 2007, three different federal District Courts held that our amlodipine besylate patent is valid and infringed by Torpharm/Apotex, Synthon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., respectively.

Each of these decisions was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In March 2007, a panel of the Federal Circuit reversed the District Court's decision in the action against Torpharm/Apotex, which was the first of these actions to go to trial, and held that our amlodipine besylate patent is invalid. In May 2007, the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denied our request to review the panel's decision. In June 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court denied our request to recall or stay the panel's decision.

On March 23, 2007, Mylan launched its own generic amlodipine besylate product and, in response, we launched our own generic amlodipine besylate product through Pfizer's Greenstone subsidiary. Subsequently, various other generic manufacturers have launched their own generic amlodipine besylate products.

Lipitor (atorvastatin)

As previously reported, in April 2007, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Lipitor. Teva asserts the invalidity of our enantiomer patent which, including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period, expires in June 2011, and the non-infringement of certain later-expiring patents. In June 2007, we filed suit against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and infringement of the enantiomer patent. Teva did not challenge our basic patent which, including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period, expires in March 2010.

In July 2007, a law firm that has represented Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Lipitor patent litigation filed a request for a reexamination of our basic Lipitor patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the Patent Office). The Patent Office first will determine whether it will grant the request; it is not unusual for such requests to be granted. If the Patent Office grants the request, it then will reexamine the patent on the merits.

Product Liability Matters

Asbestos

As previously reported, Quigley Company, Inc. (Quigley), a wholly owned subsidiary, was acquired by Pfizer in 1968 and sold small amounts of products containing asbestos until the early 1970s. In September 2004, Pfizer and Quigley took steps that were intended to resolve all pending and future claims against Pfizer and Quigley in which the claimants allege personal injury from exposure to Quigley products containing asbestos, silica or mixed dust. We took a charge of $369 million, pre-tax ($229 million, after-tax) to third-quarter 2004 earnings in connection with these matters.

In September 2004, Quigley filed a petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In March 2005, Quigley filed a reorganization plan in the Bankruptcy Court that needed the approval of both the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York after receipt of the favorable vote of 75% of the claimants. In connection with that filing, Pfizer entered into settlement agreements with lawyers representing more than 80% of the individuals with claims related to Quigley products against Quigley and Pfizer. The agreements provide for a total of $430 million in payments, of which $215 million became due in December 2005 and is being paid to claimants upon receipt by the Company of certain required documentation from each of the claimants. The reorganization plan provided for the establishment of a Trust for the payment of all remaining pending claims as well as any future claims alleging injury from exposure to Quigley products.

As certified by the balloting agent in May 2006, more than 75% of Quigley's claimants holding claims that represent more than two-thirds in value of claims against Quigley voted to accept Quigley's plan of reorganization. On August 9, 2006, in reviewing the voting tabulation methodology, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that certain votes that accepted the plan were not predicated upon the actual value of the claim. As a result, the reorganization plan was not accepted.

In June 2007, Quigley filed an amended plan of reorganization that is intended to address the Bankruptcy Court's concerns regarding the voting tabulation methodology. In addition, Pfizer entered into an agreement with the representative of future claimants that provides for the contribution by Pfizer to the Trust of an additional amount with a present value of $88.4 million.

The Bankruptcy Court held a hearing to consider the adequacy of Quigley's disclosure statement on July 12, 2007. If the disclosure statement is approved, Quigley intends to solicit its amended reorganization plan for acceptance. If approved by the claimants and the courts, the amended reorganization plan will result in a permanent injunction directing all future claims alleging personal injury from exposure to Quigley products to the Trust.

Trovan

In May 2007, the Attorney General of the Federation of Nigeria filed civil and criminal actions in the Federal High Court in Abuja against Pfizer, one of our Nigerian subsidiaries, and several current and former U.S. and Nigerian employees, including a current Pfizer director. Also in May 2007, the Attorney General of the State of Kano, Nigeria, filed substantially similar civil and criminal actions in the High Court of Kano State against substantially the same group of defendants. These actions arise out of a 1996 pediatric clinical study of Trovan, an antibiotic then in late-stage development, that was conducted during a severe meningitis epidemic in Kano. The actions allege, among other things, that the study was conducted without proper government authorization and without the informed consent of the parents or guardians of the study participants and resulted in injury or death to a number of study participants. In the civil actions, the federal government is seeking $6.95 billion in damages and the Kano state government is seeking $2.075 billion in damages for, among other things, the costs incurred to provide treatment, compensation and support for the alleged victims and their families; the costs of unrelated health initiatives that failed, allegedly due to societal misgivings attributable to the Trovan study; and general damages. We intend to vigorously defend these actions on the grounds that the 1996 Trovan clinical study was conducted with the full knowledge of the Nigerian federal government and the Kano state government, with the informed consent of the parents or guardians of the study participants, in a responsible and ethical way consistent with the Company's long-standing and abiding commitment to patient care, and that it helped save the lives of children.

The federal civil case against Pfizer and the other defendants was voluntarily withdrawn by Nigerian federal authorities as of July 6, 2007. Various media reports, however, have indicated that a new civil action, presumably against Pfizer and the other defendants, will be filed containing additional allegations.

The 1996 Trovan clinical study has also been the subject of two civil lawsuits filed against Pfizer in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of the study participants. The District Court dismissed both cases in 2005 and those decisions are on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Consumer and Commercial Matters

Neurontin

As previously reported, a number of lawsuits, including purported class actions, have been filed against us in various federal and state courts alleging claims arising from the promotion and sale of Neurontin. The plaintiffs in the purported class actions seek to represent nationwide and certain statewide classes consisting of persons, including individuals, health insurers, employee benefit plans and other third-party payers, who purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Neurontin that allegedly was used for indications other than those included in the product labeling approved by the FDA. In October 2004, many of the suits pending in federal courts, including individual actions as well as purported class actions, were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation ( In re Neurontin Marketing, Sales Practices and Product Liability Litigation MDL-1629 ) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Purported class actions also have been filed against us in various Canadian provincial courts alleging claims arising from the promotion and sale of Neurontin.

In June 2007, a Pennsylvania state court certified a class of all individuals in Pennsylvania who allegedly purchased Neurontin for "off-label" uses from 1995 to the present. The plaintiffs seek a refund of amounts paid by class members for Neurontin. Prior to the ruling in Pennsylvania, state courts in New York and New Mexico declined to certify statewide classes of Neurontin purchasers.

In the Multi-District Litigation, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts has taken under advisement a motion to certify a nationwide class of consumers and third-party payers who allegedly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Neurontin for "off-label" uses from 1994 through 2004. Plaintiffs are also seeking certification of a statewide class of purchasers in an action pending in a Kansas state court and a provincewide class in an action pending in Ontario, Canada.

Celebrex and Bextra Matters

As previously reported, beginning in late 2004, actions, including purported class and shareholder derivative actions, relating to Celebrex and Bextra have been filed in various federal and state courts against Pfizer, Pharmacia and certain current and former officers, directors and employees of Pfizer and Pharmacia. These actions include a purported federal shareholder derivative action and certain purported state shareholder derivative actions alleging that certain of Pfizer's current and former officers and directors breached fiduciary duties by causing Pfizer to misrepresent the safety of Celebrex and, in certain of the cases, Bextra. On July 17, 2007, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed the purported federal shareholder derivative action . Plaintiffs sought leave of the Court to file an amended complaint, which request was denied by the Court on August 1, 2007.

Tax Matters

The United States is one of our major tax jurisdictions and the IRS is currently conducting audits of the Pfizer Inc. tax returns for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004. The 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax years are also currently under audit as part of the IRS Compliance Assurance Process (CAP), a real-time audit process. All other tax years in the U.S. for Pfizer Inc. are closed under the statute of limitations. With respect to Pharmacia Corporation, the IRS is currently conducting an audit for the year 2003 through the date of merger with Pfizer (April 16, 2003). Although the U.S. audits for Pharmacia Corporation for all previous years have been closed, tax years 2000 through 2002 are still open under the statute of limitations. In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in other major tax jurisdictions, such as Canada (1998-2006), Japan (2004-2006), Europe (1996-2006, primarily reflecting Ireland, the U.K., France, Italy, Spain and Germany), and Puerto Rico (2002-2006).

We regularly reevaluate our tax positions and the associated interest and penalties, if applicable, resulting from audits of federal, state and foreign income tax filings, as well as changes in tax law that would either increase or decrease the technical merits of a position relative to the more likely than not standard. We believe that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years. Many factors are considered in making these evaluations, including past history, recent interpretations of tax law, and the specifics of each matter. Because tax regulations are subject to interpretation and tax litigation is inherently uncertain, these evaluations can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. Our evaluations are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. However, if our estimates and assumptions are not representative of actual outcomes, our results could be materially impacted.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our 2006 Form 10-K.
