Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2013
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made. It is suggested that these statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in Abbott’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 has been appropriately revised to reflect a contingent consideration payment related to a business acquisition as cash flow used in financing activities. The amount had been previously reflected as cash flow used in investing activities.
Note 2 — Separation of AbbVie Inc.
On November 28, 2012, Abbott’s board of directors declared a special dividend distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie), the company formed to hold Abbott’s research-based proprietary pharmaceuticals business. For each Abbott common share held at the close of business on December 12, 2012, Abbott shareholders received one share of AbbVie stock on January 1, 2013. Abbott has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the separation qualifies as a tax-free distribution to Abbott and its U.S. shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The historical results of operations of the research-based proprietary pharmaceuticals business have been presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Discontinued operations include the results of AbbVie’s business except for certain corporate overhead costs and certain costs associated with transition services that will be provided by Abbott to AbbVie. Discontinued operations also includes other costs incurred by Abbott to separate AbbVie as well as an allocation of interest assuming a uniform ratio of consolidated debt to equity for all of Abbott’s historical operations. Prior-year balance sheets and statements of cash flows have not been adjusted to reflect the effect of the separation.
The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities transferred to AbbVie as part of the separation on January 1, 2013: (dollars in billions)

Abbott and AbbVie entered into transitional services agreements prior to the separation pursuant to which Abbott and AbbVie are providing to each other, on an interim transitional basis, various services. Transition services may be provided for up to 24 months with an option for a one-year extension by the recipient. Services being provided by Abbott include certain information technology and back office support. Billings by Abbott under these transitional services agreements are recorded as a reduction of the costs to provide the respective service in the applicable expense category in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. This transitional support will enable AbbVie to establish its stand-alone processes for various activities that were previously provided by Abbott and does not constitute significant continuing support of AbbVie’s operations.
For a small portion of AbbVie’s operations, the legal transfer of AbbVie’s assets (net of liabilities) did not occur with the separation of AbbVie on January 1, 2013 due to the time required to transfer marketing authorizations and other regulatory requirements in each of these countries. Under the terms of the separation agreement with Abbott, AbbVie is subject to the risks and entitled to the benefits generated by these operations and assets. The majority of these operations are expected to be transferred to AbbVie in 2013 with the remainder transferring in 2014. These assets and liabilities have been presented as held for disposition in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At June 30, 2013, the assets and liabilities held for disposition consist of inventories of $180 million, trade accounts receivable of $319 million, equipment of $30 million, other assets of $75 million, trade accounts payable of $243 million and other liabilities of $65 million. Abbott’s obligation to transfer the net assets held for disposition to AbbVie of $296 million is included in Other accrued liabilities.
Abbott has retained all liabilities for all U.S. federal and foreign income taxes on income prior to the separation, as well as certain non-income taxes attributable to AbbVie’s business. AbbVie generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable to its business. In connection with the separation, Abbott has adjusted its employee stock compensation awards and separated its defined benefit programs for pensions and post-employment medical and dental benefit plans. See notes 7 and 9 for additional information.
Note 3 — Supplemental Financial Information
Unvested restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are treated as participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities. Net earnings allocated to common shares for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 were $473 million and $1.013 billion, respectively, and net earnings allocated to common shares for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $1.711 billion and $2.943 billion, respectively.
Other (income) expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 includes income of approximately $40 million from the resolution of a contractual agreement. Other, net in Net cash from operating activities for 2012 includes payments of approximately $800 million to settle certain government investigations related to AbbVie’s business operations. Other, net in Net cash from operating activities for 2013 and 2012 includes the effects of contributions to defined benefit plans of approximately $320 million in each period.
The components of long-term investments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

(a) Reclassified amounts for foreign currency translation are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings as Net foreign exchange loss (gain); gains on marketable equity securities as Other (income) expense and cash flow hedges as Cost of products sold. Net actuarial losses and prior service cost is included as a component of net periodic benefit plan costs; see Note 7 for additional details.
Note 5 — Taxes on Earnings
Taxes on earnings reflect the estimated annual effective rates and include charges for interest and penalties. The effective tax rates are less than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate principally due to the benefit of lower statutory tax rates and tax exemptions in several foreign taxing jurisdictions. As a result of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 signed into law in January 2013, Abbott recorded a tax benefit to taxes on continuing operations of approximately $103 million in the first quarter of 2013 for the retroactive extension of the research tax credit and the look-through rules of section 954(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code to the beginning of 2012. Tax authorities in various jurisdictions regularly review Abbott’s income tax filings. Abbott believes that it is reasonably possible that the recorded amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $550 million to $650 million, including cash adjustments, within the next twelve months as a result of concluding various tax matters.
Note 6 — Litigation and Environmental Matters
Abbott has been identified as a potentially responsible party for investigation and cleanup costs at a number of locations in the United States and Puerto Rico under federal and state remediation laws and is investigating potential contamination at a number of company-owned locations. Abbott has recorded an estimated cleanup cost for each site for which management believes Abbott has a probable loss exposure. No individual site cleanup exposure is expected to exceed $4 million, and the aggregate cleanup exposure is not expected to exceed $15 million.
Abbott is involved in various claims and legal proceedings, and Abbott estimates the range of possible loss for its legal proceedings and environmental exposures to be from approximately $65 million to $90 million. The recorded accrual balance at June 30, 2013 for these proceedings and exposures was approximately $75 million. This accrual represents management’s best estimate of probable loss, as defined by FASB ASC No. 450, “Contingencies.” Within the next year, legal proceedings may occur that may result in a change in the estimated loss accrued by Abbott. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of all such proceedings and exposures with certainty, management believes that their ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect on Abbott’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
Note 7 — Post-Employment Benefits
Retirement plans consist of defined benefit, defined contribution, and medical and dental plans. Net cost recognized in continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30 for Abbott’s major defined benefit plans and post-employment medical and dental benefit plans is as follows:

Abbott funds its domestic defined benefit plans according to IRS funding limitations. International pension plans are funded according to applicable regulations. In the first six months of 2013 and 2012, approximately $320 million was contributed to defined benefit plans and $40 million was contributed to the post-employment medical and dental benefit plans in each period.
The separation agreement with AbbVie obligates Abbott to transfer certain defined benefit and medical and dental plan liabilities and assets to AbbVie. The net obligation is included in the assets and liabilities transferred to AbbVie as part of the separation on January 1, 2013. Although the Abbott plans still hold some of the assets included in this net obligation, the AbbVie plans have the right to receive and Abbott has the obligation to complete the transfer of these assets. Any such assets held by an Abbott plan as of June 30, 2013 will be transferred to the applicable AbbVie plan in 2013. The following table summarizes these projected benefit obligations and assets at January 1, 2013:

Note 8 — Segment Information
Abbott’s principal business is the discovery, development, manufacture and sale of a broad line of health care products. Abbott’s products are generally sold directly to retailers, wholesalers, hospitals, health care facilities, laboratories, physicians’ offices and government agencies throughout the world. As a result of the separation of AbbVie, Abbott no longer has a Proprietary Pharmaceutical Products segment and this business has been removed from the 2012 historical information presented below. Abbott’s reportable segments are as follows:
Established Pharmaceutical Products — International sales of a broad line of branded generic pharmaceutical products.
Nutritional Products — Worldwide sales of a broad line of adult and pediatric nutritional products.
Diagnostic Products — Worldwide sales of diagnostic systems and tests for blood banks, hospitals, commercial laboratories and alternate-care testing sites. For segment reporting purposes, the Core Laboratories Diagnostics, Molecular Diagnostics, Point of Care and Ibis diagnostic divisions are aggregated and reported as the Diagnostic Products segment.
Vascular Products — Worldwide sales of coronary, endovascular, structural heart, vessel closure and other medical device products.
Non-reportable segments include the Diabetes Care and Medical Optics segments.
Abbott’s underlying accounting records are maintained on a legal entity basis for government and public reporting requirements. Segment disclosures are on a performance basis consistent with internal management reporting. The cost of some corporate functions and the cost of certain employee benefits are charged to segments at predetermined rates that approximate cost. Remaining costs, if any, are not allocated to segments. In addition, effective January 1, 2013, intangible asset amortization is not allocated to operating segments, and intangible assets and goodwill are not included in the measure of each segment’s assets. After removal of intangible assets and goodwill from the measure of segment assets, the assets of the Established Pharmaceutical Products and the Vascular Products segments totaled $2.5 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2013. The segment information below for 2012 has been adjusted to exclude intangible asset amortization. The following segment information has been prepared in accordance with the internal accounting policies of Abbott, as described above, and are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 9 — Incentive Stock Programs
In connection with the separation of AbbVie on January 1, 2013, Abbott modified its outstanding equity awards granted under incentive stock programs for its employees. The awards were generally modified such that immediately following the separation, the awardees held the same number of awards in Abbott stock and an equal number of awards in AbbVie stock. The exercise price on outstanding Abbott options was adjusted and the exercise price on the AbbVie options granted under this modification was established with the intention of generally preserving the value of the awards immediately prior to the separation. This modification did not result in additional compensation expense.
In the first six months of 2013, Abbott granted 4,410,648 stock options, 856,157 replacement stock options, 835,300 restricted stock awards and 6,065,329 restricted stock units under its incentive stock programs. At June 30, 2013, approximately 130 million shares were reserved for future grants. Information regarding the number of options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2013 is as follows:

Note 10 — Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Fair Value Measures
Certain Abbott foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates for anticipated intercompany purchases by those subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar. These contracts, totaling $389 million and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are designated as cash flow hedges of the variability of the cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates and are recorded at fair value. Contracts totaling $1.0 billion were transferred to AbbVie as part of the separation on January 1, 2013. Accumulated gains and losses as of June 30, 2013 will be included in Cost of products sold at the time the products are sold, generally through the next twelve months. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness was not significant in 2013 and 2012.
Abbott enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage currency exposures for foreign currency denominated third-party trade payables and receivables, and for intercompany loans and trade accounts payable where the receivable or payable is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. For intercompany loans, the contracts require Abbott to sell or buy foreign currencies, primarily European currencies and Japanese yen, in exchange for primarily U.S. dollars and other European currencies. For intercompany and trade payables and receivables, the currency exposures are primarily the U.S. dollar, European currencies and Japanese yen. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Abbott held $11.5 billion and $18.2 billion, respectively, of such foreign currency forward exchange contracts, of which $4.3 billion of these contracts were transferred to AbbVie as part of the separation on January 1, 2013.
Abbott has designated foreign denominated short-term debt as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign subsidiary of approximately $540 million and approximately $615 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this debt due to changes in exchange rates are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
Abbott is a party to interest rate swap contracts totaling approximately $1.5 billion at June 30, 2013 and $9.5 billion at December 31, 2012 to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt. $8.0 billion of these contracts related to debt issued by AbbVie Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2012 and were transferred to AbbVie as part of the separation on January 1, 2013. These contracts are designated as fair value hedges of the variability of the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in the long-term benchmark interest rates. The effect of the hedge is to change a fixed-rate interest obligation to a variable rate for that portion of the debt. Abbott records the contracts at fair value and adjusts the carrying amount of the fixed-rate debt by an offsetting amount. No hedge ineffectiveness was recorded in income in 2013 or 2012 for these hedges.

The interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges of the variability of the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in the long-term benchmark interest rates. The hedged debt is marked to market, offsetting the effect of marking the interest rate swaps to market.
The carrying values and fair values of certain financial instruments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are shown in the table below. The carrying values of all other financial instruments approximate their estimated fair values. The counterparties to financial instruments consist of select major international financial institutions. Abbott does not expect any losses from nonperformance by these counterparties.

Note 11 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Foreign currency translation adjustments and other adjustments decreased goodwill in the first six months of 2013 and 2012 by approximately $290 million and approximately $350 million, respectively. In addition, in connection with the separation of AbbVie on January 1, 2013, Abbott transferred approximately $6.1 billion of goodwill to AbbVie. The amount of goodwill related to reportable segments at June 30, 2013 was $2.9 billion for the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment, $210 million for the Nutritional Products segment, $386 million for the Diagnostic Products segment, and $2.7 billion for the Vascular Products segment. Other than the effects of the separation of AbbVie, there were no reductions of goodwill relating to the disposal of all or a portion of a business. There was no reduction of goodwill relating to impairments.
The gross amount of amortizable intangible assets, primarily product rights and technology was $11.8 billion as of June 30, 2013 and $17.6 billion as of December 31, 2012, and accumulated amortization was $6.4 billion as of June 30, 2013 and $9.7 billion as of December 31, 2012. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which relate to in-process research and development acquired in a business combination, was approximately $258 million at June 30, 2013 and $691 million at December 31, 2012. Gross amortizable intangible assets, accumulated amortization and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $5.8 billion, $3.9 billion and $416 million, respectively, were transferred to AbbVie as part of the separation on January 1, 2013. Abbott’s estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $795 million in 2013, $655 million in 2014, $600 million in 2015, $580 million in 2016 and $545 million in 2017. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized over 2 to 20 years (average 11 years).
Note 12 — Restructuring Plans
In the third quarter 2012, Abbott management approved plans to streamline various commercial operations in order to reduce costs and improve efficiencies in Abbott’s core diagnostics, established pharmaceutical and nutritionals businesses. Abbott recorded employee related severance charges of approximately $167 million in 2012. Additional charges of approximately $22 million were also recorded in 2012, primarily for asset impairments. Approximately $70 million is recorded in Cost of products sold and approximately $119 million as Selling, general and administrative expense. Through December 31, 2012, no significant cash payments were made relating to these actions. The following summarizes the activity for these restructurings: (dollars in millions)

The net sales growth for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 reflects unit growth, partially offset by unfavorable exchange. Excluding 1.7 percent of unfavorable exchange for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, net sales increased 4.2 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively. The relatively stronger U.S. dollar decreased second quarter 2013 Total International sales by 2.4 percent, decreased Established Pharmaceutical Products segment sales by 2.5 percent, decreased Nutritional Product segment sales by 0.5 percent, decreased Diagnostic Products segment sales by 2.3 percent and decreased Vascular Products segment sales by 1.9 percent over the second quarter of 2012. The relatively stronger U.S. dollar decreased the first six months 2013 Total International sales by 2.4 percent, decreased Established Pharmaceutical Products segment sales by 2.8 percent, decreased Nutritional Product segment sales by 0.4 percent, decreased Diagnostic Products segment sales by 2.1 percent and decreased Vascular Products segment sales by 1.8 percent over the first six months of 2012. In addition to unfavorable exchange, the decrease in 2013 and 2012 Vascular Products sales reflects the winding down of royalty and supply agreements related to certain third-party products, including Promus. Excluding this royalty and supply agreement revenue in both periods and the unfavorable effect of exchange, year-to-date Vascular Products sales decreased 0.9 percent in 2013 and increased 4.5 percent in 2012. The decrease in 2013 is due primarily to pricing pressures on drug eluting stents and other coronary products as a result of market competition in major markets, partially offset by the sales of new products.
The net sales growth for the second quarter and first six months of 2012 reflects unit growth, partially offset by unfavorable exchange. Excluding 5.0 percent and 3.2 percent of unfavorable exchange for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, net sales increased 4.5 percent and 4.3 percent, respectively. The relatively stronger U.S. dollar decreased second quarter 2012 Total International sales by 7.0 percent, decreased Established Pharmaceutical Products segment sales by 9.8 percent, decreased Nutritional Product segment sales by 2.0 percent, decreased Diagnostic Products segment sales by 4.9 percent and decreased Vascular Products segment sales by 3.6 percent over the second quarter of 2011. The relatively stronger U.S. dollar decreased the first six months 2012 Total International sales by 4.6 percent, decreased Established Pharmaceutical Products segment sales by 6.7 percent, decreased Nutritional Product segment sales by 1.2 percent, decreased Diagnostic Products segment sales by 3.2 percent and decreased Vascular Products segment sales by 2.0 percent over the first six months of 2011.

The Established Pharmaceutical Products segment is focused on 14 key emerging markets including India, Russia, China and Brazil. Sales in Other Markets in the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment decreased in 2013 and 2012 due primarily to price declines from the continued effect of European austerity measures, the impact of 2012 price reductions in Japan, and unfavorable exchange. U.S. Pediatric sales were flat in 2013 due to lower formula share in the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) segment, partially offset by higher revenue from toddler products. In 2012, U.S Pediatric Nutritional sales reflect market share gains for Similac, including the recovery from the September 2010 voluntary recall as well as unit growth for Pediatric Nutritionals. International Pediatric Nutritionals sales increased in 2013 and 2012 due primarily to volume growth in developing countries. U.S. Adult Nutritional sales in 2013 were negatively impacted by the exit from certain non-core business lines as part of the business’ margin improvement initiative. In the Vascular Products segment, decreased sales of DES and Other Coronary products in 2013 primarily reflect pricing pressure as a result of market competition in major markets.
The gross profit margin was 49.7 percent for the second quarter 2013 compared to 51.7 percent for the second quarter 2012. First six months 2013 gross profit margin was 50.4 percent compared to 51.6 percent in the first six months 2012. The second quarter and first six months 2013 gross margins reflect pricing pressure in certain developed markets, product mix, the negative effect of exchange in the second quarter and costs associated with various restructuring programs. This was partially offset by improved gross margins in the nutritional segment in the second quarter and in the nutritional and diagnostics segments for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Research and development expenses decreased 2.2 percent and 3.5 percent in the second quarter and first six months 2013, respectively, due primarily to the timing of expenditures. For the first six months ended June 30, 2013, research and development expenditures totaled $167 million for the Vascular Products segment, $200 million for the Diagnostics Products segment, $116 million for the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment and $89 million for the Nutritional Products segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first six months 2013 decreased 5.5 percent and 4.3 percent, respectively, due primarily to the inclusion in 2012 of certain corporate costs that transferred to AbbVie in the separation, as well as certain costs that are being charged to AbbVie under transitional services agreements in 2013.
Restructuring Plans
Interest Expense (Income)
Interest expense decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 compared to 2012 due to a lower level of borrowings.
Other (Income) Expense, net
Other (income) expense, net, for the first six months 2012 includes income of approximately $40 million from the resolution of a contractual agreement.
Taxes on Earnings
Separation of AbbVie Inc.
19
June 30, 2012
Abbott has retained all liabilities for all U.S. federal and foreign income taxes on income prior to the separation, as well as certain non-income taxes attributable to AbbVie’s business. AbbVie generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable to its business. In connection with the separation, Abbott has adjusted its employee stock compensation awards and separated its defined benefit programs for pensions and post-employment medical and dental benefit plans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources June 30, 2013 Compared with December 31, 2012
The reduction of cash and cash equivalents from $10.8 billion at December 31, 2012 to $5.6 billion at June 30, 2013 reflects the transfer of $5.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents to AbbVie as part of the separation on January 1, 2013.
Net cash from operating activities for the first six months 2013 totaled approximately $1.2 billion. The ($555) million in the Other, net category in net cash from operating activities reflects approximately $435 million of one-time net cash outflows related to the separation of AbbVie, the first quarter noncash impact of the $103 million tax benefit for the retroactive impact of U.S. tax law changes due to the timing of tax filings and the effects of $320 million of contributions to defined benefit plans. Other, net in Net cash from operating activities for 2012 includes payments of approximately $800 million to settle certain government investigations related to AbbVie’s business operations. In addition, Other, net in Net cash from operating activities for 2012 includes the effects of contributions to defined benefit plans of $320 million. Abbott expects annual cash flow from operating activities to continue to exceed Abbott’s capital expenditures and cash dividends.
Working capital was $8.9 billion at June 30, 2013 and $18.0 billion at December 31, 2012. The decrease in working capital in 2013 is due primarily to the separation of AbbVie from Abbott on January 1, 2013.
Substantially all of Abbott’s trade receivables in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece are with governmental health systems. Outstanding net governmental receivables in these countries at June 30, 2013 were: (dollars in millions)

Abbott closely monitors economic conditions and budgetary and other fiscal developments in these countries. Abbott regularly communicates with its customers regarding the status of receivable balances, including their payment plans and obtains positive confirmation of the validity of the receivables. Abbott also monitors the potential for and periodically has utilized factoring arrangements to mitigate risk although such arrangements were not material in the first six months of 2013.
At June 30, 2013 Abbott’s long-term debt rating was A+ by Standard & Poor’s Corporation and A1 by Moody’s Investors Service. Abbott has readily available financial resources, including unused lines of credit of $5.0 billion that support commercial paper borrowing arrangements which expire in 2017.
In October 2008, the board of directors authorized the purchase of up to $5 billion of Abbott’s common shares from time to time and 32.9 million and 27.2 million shares were purchased in the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively, under this authorization at a cost of approximately $1.2 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Effective in the second quarter 2013, no additional purchases of common shares will be made from this authorization. In June 2013, the board of directors authorized the purchase of up to $3.0 billion of Abbott’s common shares from time to time.
In the first two quarters of 2013, Abbott declared a dividend of $0.14 per share each quarter on its common shares. The change in the dividend compared to 2012 reflects the impact of the separation of AbbVie.
Legislative Issues
In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively referred to herein as “health care reform legislation”) were signed into law in the U.S. Beginning in 2013, Abbott started recording a 2.3 percent excise tax imposed by health care reform legislation on the sale of certain medical devices in the U.S.
Abbott’s primary markets are highly competitive and subject to substantial government regulations throughout the world. Abbott expects debate to continue over the availability, method of delivery, and payment for health care products and services. It is not possible to predict the extent to which Abbott or the health care industry in general might be adversely affected by these factors in the future. A more complete discussion of these factors is contained in Item 1, Business, and Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 — A Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Abbott cautions investors that any forward-looking statements or projections made by Abbott, including those made in this document, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that may affect Abbott’s operations are discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer, Miles D. White, and Chief Financial Officer, Thomas C. Freyman, evaluated the effectiveness of Abbott Laboratories’ disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and concluded that Abbott Laboratories’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information Abbott is required to disclose in the reports that it files or submits with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Abbott in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Abbott’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, there were no changes in Abbott’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Abbott’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Abbott is involved in various claims, legal proceedings and investigations, including (as of June 30, 2013, except where noted below) those described below. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such pending claims, proceedings and investigations with certainty, management is of the opinion that their ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on Abbott’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Abbott reported that Cordis Corporation and Wyeth sued Abbott in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that the Xience V stent infringes certain of their patents, and that in June 2012, Cordis and Wyeth appealed the district court’s order invalidating the patents. On June 26, 2013, the appeals court affirmed the district court’s order invalidating the patents.
In its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Abbott reported that in connection with the separation of AbbVie Inc., AbbVie is responsible for certain investigations, claims and litigation matters relating to Abbott’s former research-based pharmaceuticals business. AbbVie has been substituted for Abbott in its previously reported case filed against Roxane Laboratories in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking to enforce its patent rights relating to ritonavir tablets (a drug Abbott sells under the trademark Norvir®). Abbott is no longer a party to the Delaware proceeding.
