BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

 
Note 1:    Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Standards
 
We prepared the unaudited 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) can be condensed or omitted. We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this document. The consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at March 31,June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the results of our operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2002 and 2001. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Company’scompany’s 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent accountants, have performed a review of the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein, and their review report thereon accompanies this filing.
 
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 the same as those for the full year.
 
Use of Estimates—the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition—we record revenue from the sale of products upon shipment to customers net of discounts, rebates and returns. Returns are recorded based on actual products returned during the period. We estimate that this practice results in an earnings effect that generally approximates the accrual method.
 
Reclassifications—certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Exit or Disposal Activities—In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved for issuance Statement No. 146,Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities, effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 addresses issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and/or disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3,Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring), and the SEC has set forth in the Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 100,Restructuring and Impairment Charges. The initial adoption of this accounting requirement will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Gain or Loss on Debt Extinguishment —In—In April 2002, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)the FASB issued StatementSFAS No. 145, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in OpinionAccounting Principles Bulletin No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS 145 amends SFAS 13 to require that certain lease

modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. The initial adoption of this accounting requirement will not have a materialan effect on our consolidated financial statements.existing accruals for restructuring and exit activities.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets—In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, with certain provisions of the Statement applied earlier, upon acquisition, to goodwill and other acquired intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired and the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests. The goodwill arising from business acquisitions, prior to June 30, 2001, was

amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 15 to 40 years. This goodwill is no longer being amortized effective in 2002. Total expenses related to the amortization of goodwill included in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three monthsand six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2001 was $19were $18 million and $37 million, respectively, or $.01 per share on a basic and fully diluted basis.

Weighted-average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, which were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were antidilutive, were 81119 million infor the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 4345 million infor the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001.
 
Note 3:    Restructuring
In the second quarter of 2002, we recorded a pretax restructuring charge of $59 million related to workforce reductions and downsizing and streamlining of worldwide operations. Of this charge, $30 million relates to employee termination benefits for approximately 540 employees. The remaining $29 million represents the closure of facilities and other related expenses. As of June 30, 2002, $28 million related to these activities was included in accrued liabilities. We expect to substantially complete these restructuring activities by mid 2003.
During the second quarter of 2002, the restructuring charge of $59 million was offset by an adjustment to prior period restructuring reserves of $47 million due to higher than anticipated proceeds from the sale of exited businesses and $12 million primarily due to lower than expected separation payments.
Restructuring activities in prior years include workforce reductions, contract sales force termination, exiting product lines and the downsizing and streamlining of business operations. We expect to substantially complete these restructuring activities by the end of 2002.

Note 3:4:    Sales Rebate Accrual Adjustment
 
During the first quarter of 2002, we determined that the estimated Medicaid and prime vendor rebate accrual balance for our U.S. Medicines business was understated and recorded an adjustment to reduce revenues. The pretax earnings effect of the adjustment was a reduction in pretax earnings in 2002 of $262 million ($162 million after tax or $.08 per diluted share). The adjustment for the accrual primarily relates to increases in domestic wholesaler inventories in 2000 and 2001. In our judgment, the impact in 2000 and 2001 was not material and would have approximated on a per diluted share basis would have approximated $.02 in the first quarter of 2000 and $.01 in the third and fourth quarters of 2000 and in each quarter of 2001.

Note 4:5:    Alliances and Investments
 
The terms of our commercialization agreement, for the co-developmentcodevelopment and co-promotioncopromotion of Erbitux in the United States, Canada and Japan, with ImClone Systems, Inc. (ImClone) were revised in March 2002. Under the revised terms:
 •
 
In lieu of the $300 million milestone payment originally due upon FDA acceptance of the Erbitux filing, we paid ImClone $140 million upon the signing of the revised agreement, and we will pay an additional $60 million on the one year anniversary of the signing;
 •
 
We will now pay ImClone a $500 million milestone payment, originally due in its entirety upon FDA approval of Erbitux, in two parts: $250 million will be paid upon approval of the initial indication, and the remaining $250 million will be paid upon approval of a second indication;
 •
 
ImClone will receive a distribution fee based on a flat rate of 39 percent of product revenues in North America; and
 •
 
The terms of the agreement will continue through 2018.
 
Of the $140 million paid in March 2002, $112 million was expensed as acquired in-process research and development, and the remaining $28 million was recorded as an additional equity investment. The total equity investment in ImClone as of March 31,June 30, 2002 was $509$486 million. As of March 31, 2002, we believe thatOn a per share basis, the carrying value of the ImClone investment and the closing market price of ImClone shares as of June 30, 2002 were $33.75 and $8.69, respectively. If the market price of ImClone remains significantly below our investment in ImClonecarrying value and the decline is not impaired. However, we continue to monitor our investment in ImClone for impairment andtemporary, it is possible thatlikely we could recognizewill take a one-time charge to pretax earnings to write down our ImClone investment.
In 1997, we entered into a codevelopment, comarketing agreement with Sanofi-Synthelabo (Sanofi) for impairmenttwo products: AVAPRO (irbesartan), an angiotensin II receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of hypertension, and PLAVIX (clopidogrel), a platelet inhibitor. The worldwide alliance operates under the framework of two geographic territories: one in future periods based upon further evaluationthe Americas and Australia and the other in Europe and Asia.
We act as the operating partner for the territories covering the Americas principally the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and Latin America countries, and Australia and own the majority controlling interest in the territory. As such, we consolidate all country partnership results and record Sanofi’s share of the statusresults as a minority interest expense, included in Other Income/Expense. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 we recorded sales in this territory and in comarketing countries of Erbitux$553 million and $427 million, respectively, and for the market valuesix month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 we recorded sales of ImClone.$1,072 million and $837 million, respectively.
 
In March and May 2002, Sanofi, its United States subsidiary and Bristol-Myers Squibb Sanofi Pharmaceuticals Holding Partnership filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against two generic pharmaceutical companies alleging they infringed patents providing exclusivity for PLAVIX when they filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications seeking regulatory approval to sell clopidogrel. The plaintiffs seek to prevent the defendants from infringing the patents by marketing a generic version of the product prior to the expiration of the patents in 2011 and 2014, respectively. The defendants have asserted that the patents are invalid.
On August 6, 2002 a separate patent was issued to Sanofi covering our currently marketed form of clopidogrel. The importance of this patent cannot be determined until it is known what form of clopidogrel the generics seek to market.

DuPont Pharmaceuticals Acquisition
 
On October 1, 2001, we acquired the DuPont Pharmaceuticals Business (DuPont) from E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company for cash of $7.8 billion. The results of DuPont have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. DuPont is primarily a domestic pharmaceutical and imagery product business focused on research and development. This acquisition was financed with proceeds from the issuance of $1.5 billion of commercial paper, issuance of $5.0 billion of medium-term notes and operating cash flows. The purchase price allocation was initially prepared on a preliminary basis and reasonable changesa final adjustment to the purchase price has been recorded. Certain acquisition related liabilities are based on preliminary estimates and final adjustments are expected as additional information becomes available.
 
In connection with the acquisition, we incurred $640 million of restructuring costs resulting from severance and relocation of workforce, the elimination of duplicate facilities and contract terminations. Such costs have been recognized as a liability assumed as of the acquisition date, resulting in additional goodwill. TheOf the $640 million originally recorded in accrued expenses, $523 million remained at December 31, 2001, which was reduced to $328$174 million at March 31,June 30, 2002.

Note 5:    Acquisitions During the six month period ended June 30, 2002 the balance in this account was reduced by cash payments of $246 million and Divestitures (continued)by an adjustment to reverse previously recorded exit accruals of $103 million. This adjustment resulted from lower than expected costs associated with exiting certain acquired contracts and activities and was recorded by reducing goodwill.

Note 9:    Litigation
Various lawsuits, claims and proceedings are pending against the company and certain of its subsidiaries. The most significant of these are described below.
TAXOL Litigation
In 1997 and 1998, we filed several lawsuits alleging that a number of generic drug companies infringed our patents covering methods of administering paclitaxel when they filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications seeking regulatory approval to sell paclitaxel. These actions were consolidated for discovery in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (District Court). We did not assert a monetary claim against any of the defendants, but sought to prevent the defendants from marketing paclitaxel in a manner that violates our patents. The defendants asserted that they did not infringe our patents and that these patents are invalid and unenforceable.
In early 2000, the District Court invalidated most claims of our patents. On April 20, 2001, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court’s summary judgment of the invalidity of all but two claims of the patents at issue. Those two claims relate to the low-dose, three-hour administration of paclitaxel in which the patient is given a specified regimen of premedicants before the administration of paclitaxel. The appellate court remanded those two claims to the District Court for further proceedings. In 2001 we filed an additional patent infringement suit against another company seeking to market generic paclitaxel.

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 9:    Litigation (continued)
In September 2000, one of the defendants received final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Abbreviated New Drug Application for paclitaxel and is marketing the product. Additional final approvals have since been announced by the FDA and sales of additional generic products have begun.
Some of the defendants asserted counterclaims seeking damages for alleged antitrust and unfair competition violations. We believed our patents were valid when we filed the suits, and the counterclaims asserted are believed to be without merit. The lawsuits with four of the defendants have been settled with the defendants agreeing to drop all claims relating to paclitaxel and our granting licenses to the four defendants under certain paclitaxel patent rights. We are considering our options with respect to the two remaining patent infringement defendants.
Since the filing of the initial patent infringement suits, six private actions have been filed by parties alleging antitrust, consumer protection and similar claims relating to our actions to obtain and enforce patent rights. The plaintiffs seek declaratory judgment, damages (treble and/or punitive where allowed), disgorgement and injunctive relief. In June 2002, a group of 29 state attorneys general brought similar claims. In September 2000, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) initiated an investigation relating to paclitaxel. At this time, the FTC has not brought any claims against us relating to paclitaxel, nor has it indicated whether any such claims will be brought. We are cooperating in these investigations.
It is not possible at this time to make a reasonable assessment as to the final outcome of these lawsuits and investigations. If we were not to prevail in final, non-appealable determinations of these litigations and investigations the impact could be material.
BUSPAR Litigation
On November 21, 2000, we obtained a patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,150,365 (‘365 patent), relating to a method of using BUSPAR or buspirone. We submitted timely information relating to the ‘365 patent to the FDA for listing in a FDA publication commonly known as the “Orange Book,” and the FDA thereafter listed the patent in the Orange Book.
Delisting Suits. Generic-drug manufacturers sued the FDA and the company to compel the delisting of the ‘365 patent from the Orange Book. Although one district court declined to order the delisting of the ‘365 patent, another ordered us to cause the delisting of the patent from the Orange Book. We complied with the court’s order but appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit reversed the district court that ordered the delisting.
Patent Suits. We are seeking to enforce the ‘365 patent in actions against two generic drug manufacturers.
Antitrust Suits. Following the delisting of the ‘365 patent from the Orange Book, a number of purchasers of buspirone and several generic drug makers filed lawsuits against us alleging that it improperly triggered statutory marketing exclusivity. The attorneys general of approximately 40 states and Puerto Rico have also

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 9:    Litigation (continued)
filed suit against us with parallel allegations. The plaintiffs have amended their allegations to include charges that a 1994 agreement between us and a generic company improperly blocked the entry of generic buspirone to the market. Plaintiffs seek declaratory judgment, damages (treble and/or punitive where allowed), disgorgement and injunctive relief.
Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) proceedings. The Judicial Panel on MDL granted our motions to have all of the patent and antitrust cases consolidated in a single forum. The court before which the buspirone litigations are now pending issued two opinions dated February 14, 2002. In the first opinion, the court found that the ‘365 patent does not cover uses of buspirone and therefore is not infringed. In the second opinion, the court denied our motion to dismiss the federal antitrust and state law claims. The second opinion allows the claims against us to proceed, except as to federal antitrust claims for damages accrued more than four years before the filing of the complaints.
Government Investigations. The FTC and a number of state attorneys general have initiated investigations concerning the listing of the ‘365 patent in the Orange Book. We are cooperating in these investigations. A number of attorneys general, but not all of them, filed an action against us, as noted earlier. The FTC is also investigating the 1994 agreement discussed above.
It is not possible at this time to make a reasonable assessment as to the final outcome of these lawsuits and investigations. If we were not to prevail in final, non-appealable determinations of these litigations and investigations the impact could be material.
Average Wholesale Pricing Litigation
We, together with a number of pharmaceutical manufacturers, are a defendant in a series of state and federal actions by private plaintiffs, brought as purported class actions, and complaints filed by the Attorneys General of two states, alleging that the manufacturers’ reporting of prices for certain products has resulted in a false and overstated Average Wholesale Price (AWP), which in turn improperly inflated the reimbursement paid by Medicare beneficiaries, insurers, state Medicaid programs, medical plans, and others to health care providers who prescribed and administered those products. The complaints variously assert claims under the federal RICO statute, the federal antitrust laws, Medicaid laws, state antitrust laws, state racketeering laws, and state consumer protection and fair trade statutes. In April, 2002, the federal actions were consolidated for pre-trial purposes and transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts,In re Pharmaceutical Industry Average Wholesale Price Litigation. As to the state court actions, one has been stayed pending the consolidated action in Massachusetts, (The National Automatic Sprinkler Industry Welfare Fund and the National Elevator Industry Health Benefit Plan v. Bristol Myers Squibb Co.), a stay is sought in a second action,(The National Asbestos Workers Medical Fund v. Bristol Myers Squibb Co.), and a third action was recently filed and served on the company,(Rice v. Bristol Myers Squibb, et al.). Plaintiffs seek damages as well as injunctive relief aimed at manufacturer price reporting practices. These cases are at a very preliminary stage and we are unable to assess the outcome and any possible effect on our business and profitability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 9:    Litigation (continued)
We, together with a number of other pharmaceutical manufacturers, also have received subpoenas and other document requests from various government agencies seeking records relating to its pricing and marketing practices for drugs covered by Medicare and/or Medicaid. The requests for records have come from, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services in conjunction with the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, and several states.
We are producing documents and actively cooperating with these investigations, which could result in the assertion of criminal and/or civil claims. We are unable to assess the outcome of these investigations, which could include the imposition of fines, penalties and administrative remedies.
Securities Matters
In April, May and June 2000, the company, its former chairman of the board and chief executive officer, Charles A. Heimbold, Jr., and its chief scientific officer, Peter S. Ringrose, Ph.D., were named as defendants in a number of class action lawsuits alleging violations of federal securities laws and regulations. These actions have been consolidated into one action for pretrial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The plaintiff claims that the defendants disseminated materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose information concerning the safety and expected availability of its product VANLEV during the period November 8, 1999, through April 19, 2000. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, costs and expenses.
In March-May 2002, the company and a number of its current and former officers were named as defendants in a number of securities class action lawsuits alleging violations of federal securities laws and regulations. The actions are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs variously allege that the defendants disseminated materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information concerning three different matters: (1) safety data of our product VANLEV, (2) our sales incentives to certain wholesalers and the inventory levels of those wholesalers, and (3) our investment in and relations with ImClone Systems, Inc., and ImClone’s product, Erbitux. The allegations of these actions cover the period September 2001 through March 2002. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs and expenses.
In April 2002, the SEC initiated an inquiry into our wholesaler inventory situation, which we anticipate may become a more formal investigation. We are cooperating with the SEC. We are not able to predict the outcome of this matter which by its nature, and particularly in the current environment, is uncertain. However, one possible outcome could be a restatement of our results reflecting the previously disclosed wholesaler inventory buildup. We believe our accounting treatment for the wholesaler inventory buildup was appropriate and, accordingly, believe that this outcome is unlikely.
It is not possible at this time to make a reasonable assessment of the final outcome of these matters and investigations. If we were not to prevail in final, non-appealable determinations of these litigations and investigations the impact could be material.
While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these cases, it is the opinion of management that there will not be a material adverse effect on our operating results or consolidated financial position.

Report of Independent Accountants
 
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
 
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31,June 30, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated statement of cash flows for each of the three-monthsix-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
 
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated January 24, 2002, except as to the fifth paragraph under theBUSPAR*the Buspar Litigation discussion in Note 18 which is as of February 14, 2002 and as to the second paragraph in Note 7 which is as of March 5, 2002 and as to the second paragraph under theVANLEV*the Vanlev Litigation discussion in Note 18 which is as of March 25, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
FIRSTSECOND QUARTER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Worldwide sales for the firstsecond quarter of 2002 decreased 13% (12%14% (13% excluding foreign exchange) to $4,082$4,053 million in 2002 from $4,689$4,709 million in 2001. Excluding the adjustment for the Medicaid and prime vendor accruals in the U.S. Medicines business (“rebate adjustment”) discussed below, sales decreased 7% (5% excluding foreign exchange) from the prior year to $4,344 million. This sales decline resulted from a 4%13% decrease in volume, a 2%1% decrease due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and a 1% decreaseno change due to changes in selling prices (the price decline was primarily the result of a price reduction on TAXOL* in the U.S. due to generic competition)prices. International sales increased 5% (7% excluding foreign exchange) and domestic sales decreased 23%. Sales for the quarter include $411$394 million of sales related to the DuPont (“DuPont”) Pharmaceuticals (DuPont) acquisition. Excluding the rebate adjustment, U.S. sales decreased 15% to $2,769 million and international sales increased 10% (15% excluding foreign exchange) to $1,574 million. During the quarter, we estimate that reductions in inventory at U.S. pharmaceutical wholesalers reduced pretax earnings by approximately $160 million to $190 million or $.06 to $.07 earnings per diluted share.
 
A significant portion of our domestic pharmaceutical sales is made to wholesalers. As a result, the financial results and quarterly comparisons are affected by fluctuations in the buying patterns of these major wholesalers and the corresponding changes in inventory levels maintained by these wholesalers. These changes may not reflect underlying prescriber demand. While we can not verifypreviously disclosed, at December 31, 2001, U.S. wholesaler inventory levels we believe averagesignificantly exceeded desirable levels. The buildup in wholesaler inventories of products in the U.S. increased during 2000 and 2001inventory levels resulted primarily due tofrom sales incentives offered by us to them. As a result, wewholesalers during 2000 and 2001. We have made substantial progress in reducing U.S. wholesaler inventories to desirable levels. We estimate our 2001that nearly half of the total earnings per share impact of the workdown of domestic pharmaceutical sales includedwholesaler inventory to desirable levels was achieved in the first half of 2002.
We estimate that the value of the wholesaler inventory workdown will reduce diluted earnings per share by an aggregate of approximately four weeks$.61 per diluted share, approximately $.11 per diluted share in the first quarter of additional sales. We believe current inventories2002, approximately $.18 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2002, approximately $.24 per diluted share in the last two quarters of 2002, and approximately $.08 per diluted share in 2003. The majority of the earnings per share impact remaining at year-end 2002 is expected to be related to three of our non-exclusive products, held by wholesalersGLUCOPHAGE IR, BUSPAR* and MEGACE O/S*.
These estimates exceed our previously announced estimates of approximately $.06 to $.07 per diluted share in the U.S. significantly exceed levels we consider desirable on a going-forward basis. We have begun to reduce shipments in an attempt to lower inventory to levels more consistent with market demand. We estimate this reduction in wholesaler inventory levels will negatively affect salesfirst quarter of 2002 and earnings by approximately $.40 inper diluted earnings per share over the next four quarters, beginning withincluding approximately $.14 to $.17 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2002.
During The revised estimate for the aggregate impact of the value of wholesaler inventory workdown on diluted earnings per share is due largely to an increase in our estimate of the value of domestic wholesaler inventory above desirable levels at December 31, 2001. The revised estimate for the amount of wholesaler inventory workdown in the first quarter of 2002 we determinedis largely due to greater demand-based sales in the quarter than had previously been estimated. The revised estimate for the amount of wholesaler inventory workdown in the second quarter of 2002 is due to reduced shipments in the quarter. We estimate that completion of the estimated Medicaidwholesaler inventory workdown process will extend through the full year 2003 rather than the previously disclosed first quarter of 2003 primarily due to additional time that will be required to work down wholesaler inventories of three of our non-exclusive products, GLUCOPHAGE IR, BUSPAR* and prime vendor rebate accrual balanceMEGACE O/S*, to desirable levels.
The actual earnings per share impact and timing of the wholesaler inventory workdown are subject to a number of factors, some of which are not within our control and are subject to change. These factors include prescription sales demand for our U.S. Medicines business was understatedproducts, competitive market pressures and recorded an adjustment to revenues. The pretax earnings effectactions of the adjustment was $262 million ($162 million after tax or $.08 per share). The adjustment forwholesalers. In addition, the accrual primarily relatesworkdown of our non-exclusive products, which include BUSPAR*, GLUCOPHAGE IR, MEGACE O/S* and TAXOL*, may be adversely impacted by generic competition.
Moreover, all amounts related to the impact of the wholesaler inventory workdown on earnings per share are estimates. We estimate the impact of the wholesaler inventory workdown on our diluted

earnings per share by calculating the difference between estimated U.S. demand-based sales and our actual U.S. sales. The result of this inventory workdown calculation is then compared with inventory information received from selected wholesalers. We estimate demand-based sales of our products in the U.S. based on historical and current information obtained from a variety of third parties, including data related to retail and mail order prescriptions, average selling prices, information on discounts and rebates, doses per day, average therapy days, price increases, inmix shifts, and hospital, HMO, government and other sales data. We estimate the level of domestic wholesaler inventories based on information provided by third parties, our internal information related to actual sales and our estimate of demand-based sales. All third party data (other than information reported directly by certain of our wholesalers with respect to their own inventory levels) are themselves estimates. We are not able to verify independently any of the third party data, including the information provided directly by such wholesalers. In addition, although the vast majority of this third-party information is available within 30 days after the close of a quarter and reflected in 2000our announced estimates, some information is received as much as 45 days or more after the end of the quarter. Accordingly, our estimates are subject to revision as additional information becomes available and 2001.are subject to the inherent limitations of estimates that rely on third-party data.
 
Pharmaceuticals
 
Sales for the pharmaceuticals segment decreased 17% (16%20% (19% excluding foreign exchange) to $3,240$3,168 million from $3,904$3,965 million in 2001.

On this same basis, U.S. pharmaceutical sales decreased 20% to $2,210$1,843 million in 2002 from $2,750$2,716 million in 2001 due to wholesaler inventory workdown and generic competition for GLUCOPHAGE IR, TAXOL*, and BUSPAR*. U.S. sales for these products were $87$51 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2002 as compared to $888$753 million in 2001. Excluding the rebate adjustment, sales for the remainder of the U.S. pharmaceutical business increased 14% to $2,123 million.
 
International sales for the pharmaceuticals segment increased 12% (17%6% (8% excluding foreign exchange). Sales in Europe increased 19% (23%10% (11% excluding foreign exchange) primarily due to strong sales of PRAVACHOL* across the region and the addition of new products from the DuPont acquisition. Japan realized sales growth of 1% (16%3% (11% excluding foreign exchange) led by growth in TAXOL* sales.

 •
 
The loss of exclusivity and the introduction of generic competition in the U.S. resulted in significant declines in sales for GLUCOPHAGE IR, TAXOL* and BUSPAR*. In 2002 excluding the rebate adjustment, sales for GLUCOPHAGE IR declined to $69$11 million from $519$511 million, in 2001, sales for TAXOL* declined to $174$38 million from $330$160 million, in 2001, and BUSPAR* sales declined to $12$2 million from $82 million.
*Indicates brand names of products which are trademarks we own.

Earnings before income taxes for the pharmaceuticals segment declined to $335 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $1,127 million in the same period in 2001. The decline in earnings before income taxes is primarily the result of the workdown in U.S. wholesalers inventory levels and generic competition.
Nutritionals
Sales for the nutritionals segment were $489 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of 11% (foreign exchange had no impact on sales) from prior year. Mead Johnson continues to be the leader in the U.S. infant formula market. ENFAMIL*, our largest-selling infant formula, recorded sales of $203 million, an increase of 18% from the prior year largely due to the introduction of ENFAMIL* LIPIL in the first quarter of 2002.
Earnings before income taxes for the nutritionals segment increased to $124 million in 2002 from $81 million in 2001. This increase in earnings before income taxes is driven by higher sales and manufacturing efficiencies.
Other Healthcare
Other Healthcare is comprised of the ConvaTec, Medical Imaging and the Consumer Medicines (U.S. and Japan only) businesses.
•
ConvaTec sales remained at prior year levels of $180 million (1% increase excluding foreign exchange). Sales of ostomy products decreased 1% (flat excluding foreign exchange) to $113 million, while sales of modern wound care products increased 7% (8% excluding foreign exchange) to $65 million.
•
Medical Imaging sales were $118 million. The Medical Imaging business was part of the DuPont Pharmaceuticals acquisition, which occurred on October 1, 2001.
•
U.S./Japan Consumer Medicines sales decreased 19% (17% excluding foreign exchange) to $99 million, primarily due to lower sales of Excedrin in the U.S. and Bufferin sales in Japan.
Earnings before income taxes for the other healthcare segment increased to $92 million in 2002 from $57 million in 2001 primarily as a result of the addition of the Medical Imaging business from the DuPont acquisition.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, as a percentage of sales, increased to 85.3% from 68.1% in 2001, largely due to the reduction in sales as a result of the U.S. wholesaler inventory workdown and the increase in cost of products sold.
Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales, increased to 34.4% from 28.6% in 2001. This increase is primarily due to higher cost of goods sold in the U.S. as a result of increased sales from the Oncology Therapeutics Network (a specialty distributor of anticancer medicines and related products) and from a change in product mix, attributable to the U.S. wholesaler inventory workdown and a decline in GLUCOPHAGE IR, TAXOL* and BUSPAR* sales.
*Indicates brand names of products which are trademarks we own

Marketing, selling, and administrative expenses decreased 3% from $966 million in 2001 to $941 million in 2002. As a percentage of sales, marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased to 23.2% in the second quarter of 2002 from 20.5% in 2001, due to lower sales in 2002.
Expenditures for advertising and promotion in support of new and existing products declined 8% to $390 million from $424 million in 2001, primarily as a result of reduced direct-to-consumer spend. As a percentage of sales, advertising and promotion expenditures increased to 9.6% in the second quarter of 2002 from 9.0% in 2001.
Research and development expenditures increased 8% to $536 million from $495 million in 2001. Pharmaceutical research and development spending increased 6% over the prior year, and as a percentage of pharmaceutical sales, was 16.1% in the second quarter of 2002 and 12.1% in the second quarter of 2001.
In May 2002, we announced the submission of a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Evaluation Agency for atazanavir, a novel protease inhibitor under investigation for the treatment of HIV/AIDS.
In July 2002, the FDA Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee recommended against the approval of VANLEV* (omapatrilat) New Drug Application (NDA) for the treatment of hypertension. The FDA Advisory Committee recommendation is not binding. However, the FDA usually follows the guidance of the Advisory Committee. We expect to receive a final decision from the FDA later this year and we continue to evaluate our options.
Development of a lead candidate compound in our superstatin program has been terminated; however we will continue with back-up compounds moving forward in preclinical research.
Other (Income)/Expense was $193 million of expense in the second quarter of 2002 versus $24 million of income in the same period of 2001. The expense in 2002 is primarily due to increases in litigation expenses and interest expense related to the issuance of long-term debt for the DuPont and ImClone transactions. The second quarter of 2001 includes the gain on the sale of ESTRACE* tablets.
EARNINGS
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes decreased 60% to $597 million compared with $1,501 million in 2001. Net earnings, on this basis, were $440 million compared with $1,102 million in 2001. Basic earnings per share decreased to $.23 from $.57 in 2001 and diluted earnings per share decreased to $.23 from $.56 in 2001. The effective income tax rate on earnings before income taxes was 26.3% compared with 26.6% in 2001.
SIX MONTHS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Worldwide sales for the first six months of 2002 decreased 13% (12% excluding foreign exchange) to $8,135 million in 2002 from $9,398 million in 2001. This sales decline resulted from a 9% decrease in volume, a 1% decrease due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and a 3% decrease due to changes in selling prices. Excluding the rebate adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2002, selling prices decreased 1% from the prior year.
*Indicates brand names of products which are trademarks we own.

International sales increased 7% (11% excluding foreign exchange) and domestic sales decreased 23%. Sales for the six months include $805 million of sales related to the DuPont acquisition.
As previously discussed, nearly half of the total earnings per share impact of the workdown of domestic wholesaler inventory to desired levels was achieved in the first half of 2002. As a result, diluted earnings per share for the first six months was reduced by an estimated $.29.
Pharmaceuticals
Sales for the pharmaceuticals segment decreased 19% (17% excluding foreign exchange) to $6,408 million from $7,869 million in 2001. Domestic pharmaceutical sales decreased 31% to $3,792 million in 2002 from $5,466 million in 2001 due to wholesaler inventory workdown and generic competition for GLUCOPHAGE IR, TAXOL*, and BUSPAR*.

Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales, increased to 72.7%34.3% from 64.0%28.0% in 2001. This increase is primarily due to higher cost of goods sold in the U.S. as a result of increased sales from the Oncology Therapeutics Network (a specialty distributor of anticancer medicines and related products) and from a change in product mix, attributable to the U.S. wholesaler inventory workdown and a decline in GLUCOPHAGE IR, TAXOL* and BUSPAR* sales.

Other (income) expense was $358 million of expense in the first six months 2002 versus $101 million of income in the same period of 2001. The expense in 2002 is primarily due to interest expense related to the issuance of long-term debt for the DuPont and ImClone transactions, and litigation charges. The income in 2001 is mainly comprised of gains on the sale of ESTRACE* tablets and the Apothecon business plus the settlement of the gain on the sale of Matrix.

The effective income tax rate on earnings before income taxes was 22.1% compared with 26.4% in 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to lower pretax income in the U.S as a result of the nonrecurring items.
 
During the first quartersix months of 2002, we recorded certain nonrecurring items that affected continuing operations, including a reduction in pretax earnings in the amount of $262 million as a result of an adjustment to the accrual for estimated Medicaid and prime vendor rebates relating to increases in domestic wholesaler inventories in 2000 and 2001; a pretax charge of $125 million for litigation, including the Watson Pharmaceutical settlement; a pretax in-process research and development charge of $112 million related to the first payment under the revised agreement with ImClone; and a pretax gain of $30 million on the sale of two branded products.
Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales, increased to 34.1% from 27.4% in 2001. This increase is primarily due to higher cost of goods sold in the U.S. as a result of increased sales from the Oncology Therapeutics Network (a specialty distributor of anticancer medicines and related products) and from a change in product mix, primarily a decline in GLUCOPHAGE IR, TAXOL* and BUSPAR* sales. Excluding nonrecurring Nonrecurring items cost of products sold in 2002, as a percentage of sales were 32.0%.
Marketing, selling, and administrative expenses decreased 2% from $911 million in 2001 to $896 million in 2002. As a percentage of sales, marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased to 22.0%recorded in the first quartersix months of 2002 from 19.4% in 2001. Excluding nonrecurring items, marketing, selling and administrative expenses in 2002 as a percentage of sales were 20.6%.
Expenditures for advertising and promotion in support of new and existing products declined 23.6% to $288 million from $377 million in 2001, primarily as a result of reduced direct-to-consumer spend.
Research and development expenditures increased 1% to $512 million from $508 million in 2001. Pharmaceutical research and development spending decreased 1% over the prior year, and as a

percentage of pharmaceutical sales, was 15.2% in the first quarter of 2002 and 12.7% in the first quarter of 2001. Excluding nonrecurring items, pharmaceutical research and development spending as a percentage of pharmaceutical sales, was 14.0% in the first quarter of 2002.
Results from the VANLEV* OCTAVE (Omapatrilat Cardiovascular Treatment Assesment Versus Enalapril) and OVERTURE (Omapatrilat Versus Enalapril Randomized Trial of Utility in Reducing Events) studies were presented at the American College of Cardiology meeting in Atlanta in March 2002. The OCTAVE study, for hypertension, demonstrated consistently greater systolic blood pressure reductions with VANLEV* versus enalapril in all patient groups. The safety profiles of VANLEV* and enalapril were similar, except for a higher rate of angioedema ovserved in VANLEV-treated patients. Preliminary results of the OVERTURE study, for heart failure, indicate that VANLEV* is as effective as enalapril on the primary endpoint.
Other (income) expense was $165 million of expense in the first quarter of 2002 versus $77 million of income in the same period of 2001. The expense in 2002 is primarily due to the inclusion of $125 million of litigation charges and an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of long-term debt for the DuPont and ImClone Systems, Inc. transactions.
EARNINGS
Earnings before income taxes decreased 57% to $718 million compared with $1,687 million in 2001. Net earnings were $585 million compared with $1,243 million in 2001. Basic earnings per share decreased to $.30 from $.64 in 2001 and diluted earnings per share decreased to $.30 from $.63 in 2001. The effective income tax rate on earnings before income taxes was 18.5% compared with 26.3% in 2001. The decline in the effective income tax rate to 18.5% in 2002 is due to lower pretax income in the U.S. as a result of the nonrecurring items.by $.15.
 
Excluding nonrecurring items, earnings before income taxes decreased 30% to $1,186 million compared with $1,687 million in 2001. Net earnings on this basis, decreased 30% to $875 million compared with $1,243 million in 2001. Basic earnings per share decreased 30% to $.45 from $.64 in 2001 and diluted earnings per share decreased 29% to $.45 from $.63 in 2001.

FINANCIAL POSITION
 
Our balance sheet at March 31,June 30, 2002 and our statement of cash flows for the threesix months then ended reflect our strong financial position. We continue to maintain a high level of working capital, $3.1$3.2 billion at March 31,June 30, 2002, decreasing from $3.5 billion at December 31, 2001. Net assets related to discontinued operations of $927$948 million are included in the balance sheet at MarchJune 30, 2001.
Inventory increased to $1,646 million from the December 31, 2001.2001 balance of $1,487 million. The increase in 2002 is primarily the result of the workdown of inventory levels at U.S. wholesalers.
 
Short-Term borrowings were $308$785 million compared with $174 million at December 31, 2001, primarily as a result of the issuance of commercial paper. In April 2002, our credit rating from Moody’s investment rating agency was reduced from AAA to AA.
 
Long-Term Debt remained atdecreased to $6.1 billion from the December 31, 2001 year-end level of $6.2 billion. In 2002, our long-term credit ratings, from both Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s credit rating agencies were reduced from Aaa/AAA to Aa2 and AA, respectively.
 
As a result of our investment in manufacturing and research facilities, additions to fixed assets for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2002 increased to $211$477 million from $175$411 million duringfor the same period of 2001.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,086$680 million in 2002 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $869$2,383 million in 2001. The use of cash in 2002 is attributable to income tax payments of $1,627$1,755 million, which is primarily related to taxes on the gain arising from the sale of the Clairol business.
The additional decrease in cash from operating activities is mainly due to lower net earnings. Cash flows from operating and investing activities of Discontinued Operations for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2001 were $122$119 million.

 
During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, we purchased 1.53.1 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $67$117 million.

CRICITIALCRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The use of estimates and judgments are an inherent part of our accounting policies. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex. The accounting policies for the following areas are deemed noteworthy as they involve estimates or subjective judgments:
 
1.
Sales rebate accruals—Medicaid and prime vendors sales rebate accruals are established in the same period the related revenue is recognized resulting in a reduction to sales and the establishment of a liability. An accrual is recorded based on an estimate of the proportion of recorded revenue that will result in a rebate. Managed healthcare sales rebate accruals, which are also recorded as reductions to sales, are established based on the expected amounts due to managed care plans for rebates associated with performance measurements related to prescriptions sold to those plans’ patients during the period.
2.
Acquired in-process research and development—the fair value of acquired in-process research and development is determined by an independent appraisal and based on the present value of a research project’s projected cash flows, utilizing an income approach, and is generally charged to earnings if regulatory approval has not been obtained for the acquired technology or compound.
3.
Intangible Assets—consist of patents/trademarks, technology and licenses and are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 17 years. Intangible assets are periodically reviewed for impairment based on an assessment of future operations (including cash flows).
4.
Equity Investment in ImClone—the shares of ImClone we hold have restrictions on when they can be sold. Therefore, we periodically review this investment for impairment based on an assessmentour judgment whether the decline in market value of future operations (including cash flows).ImClone’s shares is other than temporary.
5.
Contingencies—in the normal course of business, we are subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of our business that cover a wide range of matters, including among others, product liability and environmental liability. We record accruals for such contingencies based upon our assessment of the probability of occurrence and, when determinable, an estimate of the liability.
 
Because of the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements actual results may vary from these estimates.
 
FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (including documents incorporated by reference) includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, statements relating to goals, plans and projections regarding our financial position, results of operations, market position, product development and business strategy. These statements may be identified by the fact that they use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations. These factors include, among other things, market factors, competitive product development, changes to wholesaler inventory levels, governmental regulations and legislation, patent positions and litigation. There can be no guarantees with respect to pipeline products that future clinical studies will support the data described in this release, that the products will receive regulatory approvals, or that they will prove to be commercially successful.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
 
The most significant lawsuits, claims and proceedings pending against the Companycompany and certain of its subsidiaries are discussed in Part I, Item 3, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. There were no2001 and material developments in such and other matters in the threesix month period ended March 31,June 30, 2002 are described below.
TAXOL* Litigation
In 1997 and 1998, we filed several lawsuits alleging that a number of generic drug companies infringed our patents covering methods of administering paclitaxel when they filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications seeking regulatory approval to sell paclitaxel. These actions were consolidated for discovery in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (District Court). We did not assert a monetary claim against any of the defendants, but sought to prevent the defendants from marketing paclitaxel in a manner that violates our patents. The defendants asserted that they did not infringe our patents and that these patents are invalid and unenforceable.
In early 2000, the District Court invalidated most claims of our patents. On April 20, 2001, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court’s summary judgment of the invalidity of all but two claims of the patents at issue. Those two claims relate to the low-dose, three-hour administration of paclitaxel in which the patient is given a specified regimen of premedicants before the administration of paclitaxel. The appellate court remanded those two claims to the District Court for further proceedings. In 2001 we filed an additional patent infringement suit against another company seeking to market generic paclitaxel.
In September 2000, one of the defendants received final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Abbreviated New Drug Application for paclitaxel and is marketing the product. Additional final approvals have since been announced by the FDA and sales of additional generic products have begun.
Some of the defendants asserted counterclaims seeking damages for alleged antitrust and unfair competition violations. We believed our patents were valid when we filed the suits, and the counterclaims asserted are believed to be without merit. The lawsuits with four of the defendants have been settled with the defendants agreeing to drop all claims relating to paclitaxel and our granting licenses to the four defendants under certain paclitaxel patent rights. We are considering our options with respect to the two remaining patent infringement defendants.
Since the filing of the initial patent infringement suits, six private actions have been filed by parties alleging antitrust, consumer protection and similar claims relating to our actions to obtain and enforce patent rights. The plaintiffs seek declaratory judgment, damages (treble and/or punitive where allowed), disgorgement and injunctive relief. In June 2002, a group of 29 state attorneys general brought similar claims. In September 2000, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) initiated an investigation relating to paclitaxel. At this time, the FTC has not brought any claims against us relating to paclitaxel, nor has it indicated whether any such claims will be brought. We are cooperating in these investigations.
It is not possible at this time to make a reasonable assessment as to the final outcome of these lawsuits and investigations. If we were not to prevail in final, non-appealable determinations of these litigations and investigations the impact could be material.

BUSPAR* Litigation
On November 21, 2000, we obtained a patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,150,365 (‘365 patent), relating to a method of using BUSPAR* or buspirone. We submitted timely information relating to the ‘365 patent to the FDA for listing in a FDA publication commonly known as the “Orange Book,” and the FDA thereafter listed the patent in the Orange Book.
Delisting Suits. Generic-drug manufacturers sued the FDA and the company to compel the delisting of the ‘365 patent from the Orange Book. Although one district court declined to order the delisting of the ‘365 patent, another ordered us to cause the delisting of the patent from the Orange Book. We complied with the court’s order but appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit reversed the district court that ordered the delisting.
Patent Suits. We are seeking to enforce the ‘365 patent in actions against two generic drug manufacturers.
Antitrust Suits. Following the delisting of the ‘365 patent from the Orange Book, a number of purchasers of buspirone and several generic drug makers filed lawsuits against us alleging that it improperly triggered statutory marketing exclusivity. The attorneys general of approximately 40 states and Puerto Rico have also filed suit against us with parallel allegations. The plaintiffs have amended their allegations to include charges that a 1994 agreement between us and a generic company improperly blocked the entry of generic buspirone to the market. Plaintiffs seek declaratory judgment, damages (treble and/or punitive where allowed), disgorgement and injunctive relief.
Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) proceedings. The Judicial Panel on MDL granted our motions to have all of the patent and antitrust cases consolidated in a single forum. The court before which the buspirone litigations are now pending issued two opinions dated February 14, 2002. In the first opinion, the court found that the ‘365 patent does not cover uses of buspirone and therefore is not infringed. In the second opinion, the court denied our motion to dismiss the federal antitrust and state law claims. The second opinion allows the claims against us to proceed, except as otherwise disclosedto federal antitrust claims for damages accrued more than four years before the filing of the complaints.
Government Investigations. The FTC and a number of state attorneys general have initiated investigations concerning the listing of the ‘365 patent in the Annual Report on Form 10-KOrange Book. We are cooperating in these investigations. A number of attorneys general, but not all of them, filed an action against us, as noted earlier. The FTC is also investigating the 1994 agreement discussed above.
It is not possible at this time to make a reasonable assessment as to the final outcome of these lawsuits and investigations. If we were not to prevail in final, non-appealable determinations of these litigations and investigations the impact could be material.
Average Wholesale Pricing Litigation
We, together with a number of pharmaceutical manufacturers, are a defendant in a series of state and federal actions by private plaintiffs, brought as purported class actions, and complaints filed by the Attorneys General of two states, alleging that the manufacturers’ reporting of prices for certain products has resulted in a false and overstated Average Wholesale Price (AWP), which in turn improperly inflated the reimbursement paid by Medicare beneficiaries, insurers, state Medicaid programs, medical plans, and others to health care providers who prescribed and administered those products. The complaints variously assert claims under the federal RICO statute, the federal antitrust laws, Medicaid laws, state antitrust laws, state racketeering laws, and state consumer protection and fair trade statutes. In April, 2002, the federal actions were consolidated for pre-trial purposes and

transferred to the United States District Court for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 orDistrict of Massachusetts,In re Pharmaceutical Industry Average Wholesale Price Litigation. As to the state court actions, one has been stayed pending the consolidated action in this quarterly reportMassachusetts,(The National Automatic Sprinkler Industry Welfare Fund and the National Elevator Industry Health Benefit Plan v. Bristol Myers Squibb Co.), a stay is sought in a second action,(The National Asbestos Workers Medical Fund v. Bristol Myers Squibb Co.), and a third action was recently filed and served on Form 10-Q.the company,(Rice v. Bristol Myers Squibb, et al.). Plaintiffs seek damages as well as injunctive relief aimed at manufacturer price reporting practices. These cases are at a very preliminary stage and we are unable to assess the outcome and any possible effect on our business and profitability.
 
We, together with a number of other pharmaceutical manufacturers, also have received subpoenas and other document requests from various government agencies seeking records relating to its pricing and marketing practices for drugs covered by Medicare and/or Medicaid. The requests for records have come from, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services in conjunction with the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, and several states.
We are producing documents and actively cooperating with these investigations, which could result in the assertion of criminal and/or civil claims. We are unable to assess the outcome of these investigations, which could include the imposition of fines, penalties and administrative remedies.
Securities Matters
In April, May and June 2000, the company, its former chairman of the board and chief executive officer, Charles A. Heimbold, Jr., and its chief scientific officer, Peter S. Ringrose, Ph.D., were named as defendants in a number of class action lawsuits alleging violations of federal securities laws and regulations. These actions have been consolidated into one action for pretrial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The plaintiff claims that the defendants disseminated materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose information concerning the safety and expected availability of its product VANLEV during the period November 8, 1999, through April 19, 2000. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, costs and expenses.
In March-May 2002, the company and a number of its current and former officers were named as defendants in a number of securities class action lawsuits alleging violations of federal securities laws and regulations. The actions are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs variously allege that the defendants disseminated materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information concerning three different matters: (1) safety data of our product VANLEV, (2) our sales incentives to certain wholesalers and the inventory levels of those wholesalers, and (3) our investment in and relations with ImClone Systems, Inc., and ImClone’s product, Erbitux. The allegations of these actions cover the period September 2001 through March 2002. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs and expenses.
In April 2002, the SEC initiated an inquiry into our wholesaler inventory situation, which we anticipate may become a more formal investigation. We are cooperating with the SEC. We are not able to predict the outcome of this matter which by its nature, and particularly in the current environment, is uncertain. However, one possible outcome could be a restatement of our results reflecting the previously disclosed wholesaler inventory buildup. We believe our accounting treatment for the wholesaler inventory buildup was appropriate and, accordingly, believe that this outcome is unlikely.
It is not possible at this time to make a reasonable assessment of the final outcome of these matters and investigations. If we were not to prevail in final, non-appealable determinations of these litigations and investigations the impact could be material.
While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these cases, it is the opinion of management that there will not be a material adverse effect on our operating results or consolidated financial position.
