The Company has no material interests in variable interest entities. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Cash Equivalents</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of purchase. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Short-Term Investments</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Short-term investments consist of time deposits with maturities greater than three months and less than one year when purchased. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Inventories</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Property, Plant and Equipment</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are principally provided on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives, which range from 20 to 45 years for buildings, four to 10 years for machinery and equipment and one to 20 years for leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization expense was $317,227, $305,252 and $280,110 in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, estimated using an income approach, with its carrying value. Core and developed technology is amortized over periods ranging from 15 to 20 years, using the straight-line method. Both goodwill and core and developed technology arise from acquisitions. Other intangibles with finite useful lives, which include patents, are amortized over periods principally ranging from one to 40 years, using the straight-line method. These intangibles, including core and developed technology, are periodically reviewed when impairment indicators are present to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. To the extent carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results based upon the excess of the carrying value over fair value. Other intangibles also include certain trademarks that are considered to have indefinite lives, as they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely, and are reviewed annually for impairment. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Capitalized Software</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Capitalized software, including costs for software developed or obtained for internal use is stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is principally provided on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives, which do not exceed 10 years. The current balance includes capital software investments related to an enterprise-wide program to upgrade the Company’s business information systems. Amortization expense was $46,739, $56,612 and $66,394 for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Foreign Currency Translation</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Generally, the net assets of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. The U.S. dollar results that arise from such translation, as well as exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature, are included in the foreign currency translation adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Revenue Recognition</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for certain instruments sold from the Biosciences segment upon installation at a customer’s site, as installation of these instruments is considered a significant post-delivery obligation. For certain sales arrangements, primarily in the U.S., with multiple deliverables, revenue and cost of products sold are recognized at the completion of each deliverable: shipment, installation and training. These sales agreements are divided into separate units of accounting. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of each deliverable based on the relative fair values of items delivered. Fair values are generally determined based on sales of the individual deliverables to other third parties. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company’s domestic businesses sell products primarily to distributors who resell the products to end-user customers. Rebates are provided to distributors that sell to end-user customers at prices determined under a contract between the Company and the end-user customer. Provisions for rebates, as well as sales discounts and returns, are accounted for as a reduction of revenues when revenue is recognized. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Shipping and Handling Costs</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Shipping and handling costs are included in Selling and administrative expense. Shipping expense was $255,744, $269,280 and $237,045 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Derivative Financial Instruments</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">All derivatives are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company in the management of its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company hedges forecasted sales denominated in foreign currencies using forward and option contracts to protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales. The Company also periodically utilizes interest rate swaps to maintain a balance between fixed and floating rate instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Any deferred gains or losses associated with derivative instruments are recognized in income in the period in which the underlying hedged transaction is recognized. In the event a designated hedged item is sold, extinguished or matures prior to the termination of the related derivative instrument, such instrument would be closed and the resultant gain or loss would be recognized in income. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Income Taxes</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">United States income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries where such undistributed earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. Deferred taxes are provided for earnings of foreign subsidiaries when those earnings are not considered indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes are provided and tax credits are recognized based on tax laws enacted at the dates of the financial statements. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, management evaluates factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry back and carry forward periods and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Earnings per Share</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Use of Estimates</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates or assumptions affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Share-Based Compensation</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company recognizes the fair value of share-based compensation in net income. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Subsequent Events</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company evaluates subsequent events and the evidence they provide about conditions existing at the date of the balance sheet as well as conditions that arose after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. The effects of conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements. Events and conditions arising after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued are evaluated to determine if disclosure is required to keep the financial statements from being misleading. To the extent such events and conditions exist, disclosures are made regarding the nature of events and the estimated financial effects for those events and conditions. For purposes of preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the following notes to these financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. </div> </div>

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><b>Note 2 — Accounting Changes</b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the “Codification”) as the official source of authoritative GAAP (other than guidance issued by the SEC) for all non-governmental entities. The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, supersedes pre-Codification authoritative guidance. The Codification did not change or alter existing GAAP and did not result in a change in accounting practice for the Company upon adoption on September 30, 2009. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding subsequent events (events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued). The Company adopted these requirements on June 30, 2009. The adoption of these requirements did not impact the consolidated financial statements and the required disclosures are included in Note 1. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance requiring qualitative disclosures regarding how and why an entity uses derivative instruments as well as disclosures detailing the entity’s accounting for these instruments and related hedged items. Entities are also required to provide tabular disclosures that quantify the effects derivative instruments and hedged items have on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements on March 31, 2009 and there was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of such adoption. The required disclosures are included in Note 10. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In September 2006, the FASB issued new requirements relating to fair value measurements. The guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures relating to fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB deferred implementation of fair value measurements, in accordance with the new requirements, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) for one year. The Company implemented the fair value measurement requirements for financial assets and liabilities, as well as other assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, on October 1, 2008. The effect of this adoption did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the required disclosures are included in Note 11. The Company is assessing the impact of adopting the fair value measurement requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, on October 1, 2009. The impact to the consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On October 1, 2007, the Company adopted guidance relating to the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Upon implementing this guidance, the Company recognized a $5,084 increase in its existing liability for uncertain tax positions, with a corresponding decrease to the October 1, 2007 retained earnings balance. The Company also reclassified the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $71,782 from a current liability account (Accrued expenses) to a non-current liability account (Deferred Income Taxes and Other) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, in accordance with the new requirements. If the Company were to recognize the unrecognized tax benefits, the effective tax rate would be favorably impacted. At September 30, 2009, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $50,547. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes over the next 12 months to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits. The Company includes interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the Income tax provision on the Consolidated Statements of Income. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company conducts business and files tax returns in numerous countries and currently has tax audits in progress in a number of tax jurisdictions. The IRS has completed its audit for the tax years through 2005. For the Company’s other major tax jurisdictions where it conducts business, the Company’s tax years are generally open after 2003. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Adoption of New Accounting Standard</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In December 2007, the FASB issued revised business combination rules which increase the use of fair values in financial reporting and change how business acquisitions are accounted for. Certain changes will introduce more volatility into earnings and could impact the company’s acquisition strategy. The revised business combination rules are applicable to BD for any acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after October 1, 2009. The new requirements are effective on a prospective basis with limited exception relating to income tax uncertainties. </div> </div>

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><b>Note 3 — Acquisitions</b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><i>Cytopeia</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On May 12, 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Cytopeia, Inc., a privately-held corporation that develops and markets advanced flow cytometry cell sorting instruments. The acquisition advances the Company’s position in rapidly emerging areas of cell-based research, such as cell therapy research, stem cell research, drug discovery and development, and marine biology. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of operations of Cytopeia were included in the Biosciences segment’s results as of the acquisition date. Pro forma information was not provided as the acquisition did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results. The purchase price was $42,914 in cash, including transaction costs. Cash assumed as of the valuation date was $1,655. The purchase price was allocated based upon the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. The purchase price allocation resulted in a deferred tax asset of $3,832, core and developed technology of $20,000, deferred tax liabilities of $7,904, primarily associated with core and developed technology; and other net assets of $3,713, primarily consisting of accounts receivable and inventory. Core and developed technology will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of approximately 15 years. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired of $23,273 was recorded as goodwill. The primary item that generated goodwill is the value of the Company’s access to new technologies and capabilities related to cell therapy research. No portion of this goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>TriPath</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On December 20, 2006, the Company acquired the outstanding shares (approximately 93.8%) of TriPath Imaging, Inc. (“TriPath”) which it did not previously own. TriPath develops, manufactures, markets and sells innovative solutions to improve the clinical management of cancer, including detection, diagnosis, staging and treatment. The acquisition advances the Company’s position in cancer diagnostics. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of operations of TriPath were included in the Company’s results as of the acquisition date. Pro forma information was not provided as the acquisition did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results. The purchase price was $361,883 in cash, including transaction costs and other consideration. The purchase price was allocated based upon the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. The allocation of the purchase price resulted in deferred tax assets of $75,261 primarily consisting of net operating loss carry-forwards and credits; core and developed technology of $135,097; deferred tax liabilities of $52,662 primarily associated with other intangible assets; and other net assets of $56,736 consisting primarily of cash and trade receivables. Core and developed technology will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of approximately 15 years. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired of $32,712 was recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generated goodwill are the value of expanded product opportunities in oncology that are aligned with and complement ongoing research programs at the Company. The goodwill was allocated to the Diagnostics segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. As a result of settling a preacquisition legal contingency in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $7,167. The effects of this payment, as well as other minor purchase accounting adjustments, are reflected in the purchase price allocation detailed above. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In connection with the acquisition, the Company also incurred a non-deductible charge of $114,739 for acquired in-process research and development. This charge, based on fair value, is associated with three projects: molecular Pap test, breast staging, and ovarian cancer tests. These projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and did not have alternative future use at the acquisition date. The portion of the charge allocated to each of these projects was $75,992, $18,764 and $19,983, respectively. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The molecular Pap test uses proprietary molecular biomarkers and reagents that are intended to allow for the primary screening of cervical cancer. The addition of biomarkers is intended to improve sensitivity to allow the clinician to find disease more reliably. In February 2008, the Company ceased activities on the clinical trial for this product. The Company presently anticipates having a molecular Pap test commercially available both in the U.S. and outside the U.S. after fiscal year 2011, assuming successful completion of new clinical trials on a new platform and attainment of approval from FDA. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The ovarian cancer project, using proprietary biomarkers and reagents in a multiplex format, is intended to allow for earlier stage detection of cancer. Information the Company expects to obtain from tests developed in this project is designed to allow clinicians to begin treatment sooner. In addition, the Company signed a development and supply agreement for access to certain biomarkers that will be used in the Company’s product. The Company anticipates having an ovarian monitoring test commercially available in the U.S. after fiscal year 2010, assuming successful completion of clinical trials and attainment of clearance from FDA. Screening tests are expected to be commercially available approximately two years thereafter. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The breast cancer project, using proprietary biomarkers and reagents, is intended to aid in disease discovery in its earliest stages. Tests developed in this program will also be run on the multiplex testing platform discussed above. Since the acquisition, the Company changed the focus in this program from staging assay development to screening assay development. The Company anticipates having a breast assay both in the U.S. and outside the U.S. in fiscal year 2015, assuming successful completion of clinical trials and attainment of approval from FDA. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The fair values of these projects were determined based upon the present value of projected cash flows utilizing an income approach reflecting the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate based on the applicable technological and commercial risk of each project. These cash flows also took into account the income and expenses associated with the further development and commercialization of the underlying products. The range of discount rates assigned to the projects was 22 to 30 percent and gave consideration to the underlying risk relative to the developed technology, the overall commercial and technical risk, and the probabilities of success for each of the projects. The ongoing activity associated with each of these projects is not expected to be material to the Company’s research and development expense. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Plasso</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On May 4, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Plasso Technology, Ltd. (“Plasso”), a privately-held company that was developing the next generation of surface-critical research tools utilizing functional coating technology for applications in glycomics and cell culture, for $10,425 in cash including transaction costs. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred a non-deductible charge of $7,394 for acquired in-process research and development associated with Plasso’s technology, for which, at the acquisition date, technological feasibility had not been established and no alternative future use existed. Because Plasso was a development stage company that had not commenced its planned principal operations, the transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of assets rather than as a business combination and, therefore, goodwill was not recorded. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Subsequent Event</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On November 19, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of HandyLab, Inc., a company that develops and manufactures molecular diagnostic assays and automation platforms. The purchase price was $275,000 in cash. HandyLab, Inc. has developed and commercialized a flexible automated platform for performing molecular diagnostics which complements our molecular diagnostics offerings, specifically in the area of healthcare-associated infections. The Company intends for this acquisition to allow further expansion of the BD molecular diagnostic menu. Due to the limited time since the acquisition date, the Company has not yet completed the initial accounting for this business combination. The amounts recognized for major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date will be provided in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the period ending December 31, 2009. </div> </div>

The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $18,145. Concurrent with the sale, the Company exited the remaining portion of the Home Healthcare product line. The results of operations associated with the Home Healthcare product line are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows and related disclosures. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On December 11, 2006, the Company sold the blood glucose monitoring (“BGM”) product line for $19,971 and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $15,226.

The Company’s investments include a broad range of equity and fixed-income securities. These investments are diversified in terms of domestic and international equity securities, short-term and long-term securities, growth and value styles, as well as small and large capitalization stocks. The Company’s target allocation percentages are as follows: equity securities (58% — 69%); fixed-income securities (31% — 39%); and cash (0% — 3%). Equity securities are held for their expected high return and excess return over inflation. Fixed-income securities are held for diversification relative to equities. The plans may also hold cash to meet liquidity requirements. Due to short-term fluctuations in market conditions, allocation percentages may temporarily deviate from these target allocation percentages before a rebalancing occurs. Investment risks and returns are measured and monitored on an on-going basis through annual liability measurements and quarterly investment portfolio reviews to determine whether the asset allocation targets continue to represent an appropriate balance of expected risk and reward. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The expected rate of return on plan assets is based upon expectations of long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the underlying investment portfolios.

Net non-current deferred tax liabilities of $18,191 and $35,519, respectively, were included in Deferred Income Taxes and Other. Deferred taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested. At September 30, 2009, the cumulative amount of such undistributed earnings indefinitely reinvested outside the United States was $2.6 billion. Determining the tax liability that would arise if these earnings were remitted is not practicable.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had deferred state tax assets for net state operating losses and credit carryforwards of $45,543 for which a valuation allowance of $29,057 has been established due to the uncertainty of generating sufficient taxable income in the state jurisdictions to utilize the deferred tax assets before they principally expire between 2010 and 2014. In 2007, a previously established valuation allowance of approximately $19,700 related to state tax credit carryforwards was reversed and included in the state and local income tax line item in the following rate reconciliation table. The Company also has federal and state capital loss carryforward deferred tax assets of $45,530 for which a full valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of recognizing the benefit from these losses before they principally expire in 2010. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A reconciliation of the federal statutory tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate was as follows: </div> <div align="center"> <table style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left" cellspacing="0" border="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">  <tr valign="bottom"> <td width="64%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 8pt" valign="bottom"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="3" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000"><b>2009</b></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="3" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000"><b>2008</b></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="3" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000"><b>2007</b></td> </tr>   <tr valign="bottom" style="background: #cceeff"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Federal statutory tax rate </div></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">35.0</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">%</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">35.0</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">%</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">35.0</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">%</td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">State and local income taxes, net of federal tax benefit </div></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">0.6</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">1.4</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">0.2</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom" style="background: #cceeff"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Effect of foreign and Puerto Rico earnings and foreign tax credits </div></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">(7.2</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">(8.1</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">(9.2</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Effect of Research Credits and Domestic Production Activities, </div></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">(2.6</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">(0.8</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">(0.5</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom" style="background: #cceeff"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Acquired in-process research and development </div></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">—</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">—</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">3.6</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Other, net </div></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">0.2</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right">—</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">(0.1</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">  </div></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="right" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom" style="background: #cceeff"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">  </div></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">26.0</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">%</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">27.5</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">%</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> </td> <td align="right">29.0</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">%</td> </tr>  </table> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The approximate dollar and diluted earnings per share amounts of tax reductions related to tax holidays in various countries in which the Company does business were: 2009 — $92,600 and $0.38; 2008 — $82,400 and $0.33; and 2007 — $77,600 and $0.30.

These new provisions require qualitative disclosures regarding how and why an entity uses derivative instruments as well as how these instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under hedge accounting rules. Entities are also required to provide tabular disclosures that quantify the effects derivative instruments and hedged items have on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><i>Foreign Currency Risks and Related Strategies</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company has foreign currency exposures throughout Europe, Asia Pacific, Canada, Japan and Latin America. The Company partially hedges forecasted export sales denominated in foreign currencies using forward and option contracts, generally with one-year terms. The Company’s hedging program has been designed to mitigate exposures resulting from movements of the U.S. dollar, from the beginning of a reporting period, against other foreign currencies. The Company’s strategy is to offset the changes in the present value of future foreign currency revenue resulting from these movements with either gains or losses in the fair value of foreign currency derivative contracts. The Company’s option contracts expired in fiscal year 2008 and only forward contracts have been utilized to hedge forecasted sales for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company designates forward contracts utilized to hedge these certain forecasted sales denominated in foreign currencies as cash flow hedges. Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of the Company’s forward contracts that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk) are included in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transactions are reclassified in earnings. These changes result from the maturity of derivative instruments as well as the commencement of new derivative instruments. The changes also reflect movements in the period-end foreign exchange rates against the spot rates at the time the Company enters into any given derivative instrument contract. Once the hedged revenue transaction occurs, the gain or loss on the contract is recognized from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to “Revenues”. The Company records the premium or discount of the forward contracts, which is included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness, to Revenues. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September 30, 2009, the Company expects to reclassify $43,624, net of tax, of net losses on foreign currency exchange instruments from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to revenues during the next 12 months due to actual and forecasted export sales. In the event the revenue transactions underlying a derivative instrument are no longer probable of occurring, accounting for the instrument under hedge accounting must be discontinued. Gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) must be reclassified into Other (expense) income. If only a portion of the revenue transaction underlying a derivative instrument is no longer probable of occurring, only the portion of the derivative relating to those revenues would no longer be eligible for hedge accounting. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Transactional currency exposures that arise from entering into transactions, generally on an intercompany basis, in non-hyperinflationary countries that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are mitigated primarily through the use of forward contracts and currency options. Hedges of the transactional foreign exchange exposures resulting primarily from intercompany payables and receivables are undesignated hedges. As such, the gains or losses on these instruments are recognized immediately in income. The offset of these gains or losses against the gains and losses on the underlying hedged items, as well as the hedging costs associated with the derivative instruments, are recognized in Other (expense) income </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The total notional amount of the Company’s outstanding foreign exchange contracts as of September 30, 2009 was $2,601,109. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><i>Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in short-term U.S. dollar interest rates. The Company’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Company periodically utilizes interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Company exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk) are offset by amounts recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). If interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are terminated, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to those derivatives is reclassified into earnings over the remaining life of the hedged debt. The amounts, related to terminated interest rate swaps, expected to be reclassified and recorded in Interest expense within the next 12 months is $1,238, net of tax. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of September 30, 2009, the total notional amount of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $400,000. This amount includes the fixed-to-floating rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $200,000 that matured with the Company’s repayment of $200,000 in 7.15% notes, due October 1, 2009. The amount also includes a interest rate swap with a notional amount of $200,000 that was entered into to convert the interest payments on $200,000 in 4.55% notes, due April 15, 2013, from the fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on LIBOR. The Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2009. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><i>Commodity Price Risks and Related Strategies</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company also manages risks associated with certain forecasted commodity purchases by using forward contracts. The Company has entered into a commodity forward contract on ethane to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of polyethylene used in the Company’s manufacturing process. The contract is designated as a cash flow hedge and once hedged commodity purchases occur, the gain or loss on the contract is recognized from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to “Cost of products sold.” </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September 30, 2009, the expected reclassification of net losses on the ethane forward contract from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Cost of products sold during the next 12 months is $22, net of tax. As of September 30, 2009, the notional amount of the Company’s commodity contract was 206,000 gallons of ethane. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><i>Risk Exposures Not Hedged</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company purchases resins, which are oil-based components used in the manufacture of certain products. While the Company has been able to hedge certain purchases of polyethylene, the Company does not currently utilize any hedges to manage the risk exposures related to other resins. Significant increases in world oil prices that lead to increases in resin purchase costs could impact future operating results. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;

The fair values of these investments are based upon the quoted prices provided by the holding financial institutions.

The Company measures the fair value of forward exchange contracts and currency options based upon observable inputs, specifically spot currency rates and forward currency prices for similar assets and liabilities. The fair value of forward commodity contracts and interest rate swaps are provided by the financial institutions that are counterparties to these arrangements.

Such cash deposits are exposed to loss in the event of nonperformance by financial institutions.   Substantially all of the Company’s trade receivables are due from public and private entities involved in the healthcare industry. Due to the large size and diversity of the Company’s customer base, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited. The Company does not normally require collateral. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by financial institutions with which it conducts business. However, this loss is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the obligations of the counterparty to the financial instrument contract exceed the obligations of the Company. The Company also minimizes exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Accounts receivable balances at September 30, 2009 include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare facilities in Greece of approximately $45,072, net of reserves. These sales are subject to significant payment delays due to government funding and reimbursement practices. The Company understands that this is an industry-wide issue for suppliers to these facilities. If significant changes occur in the availability of government funding, the Company may not be able to collect on amounts due from these customers. This concentration of credit risk would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or liquidity. </div> </div>

In January 2008, the court granted the Company’s motion to sever the patent and non-patent claims into separate cases. The non-patent claims have been stayed, pending resolution of RTI’s patent claims. RTI seeks money damages and injunctive relief.

In some cases, these actions additionally allege that the healthcare workers have sustained mental anguish. Plaintiffs seek money damages in all of these actions.

Cases pending in Federal court are being coordinated under the matter <i>In re Latex Gloves Products Liability Litigation </i>(MDL Docket No. 1148) in Philadelphia, and analogous procedures have been implemented in the state courts of California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Generally, these actions allege that medical personnel have suffered allergic reactions ranging from skin irritation to anaphylaxis as a result of exposure to medical gloves containing natural rubber latex. Since the inception of this litigation, all but 11 of these cases have either been closed with no liability to the Company or been settled for amounts that, in the aggregate, are immaterial. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On May 28, 2004, Therasense, Inc.

On August 10, 2004, in response to a motion filed by Therasense in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the court transferred to the court in California an action previously filed by the Company against Therasense requesting a declaratory judgment that the Company’s products do not infringe the Therasense patents and that the Therasense patents are invalid. On April 4, 2008, the Court granted the Company summary judgment with respect to two of the patents asserted against the Company, finding no infringement by the Company. On June 24, 2008, the Court ruled that a third patent asserted against the Company was invalid and unenforceable. On August 8, 2008, a jury delivered a verdict in the Company’s favor, finding that the last of the four patents asserted against the Company was invalid. The plaintiffs have appealed these decisions. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On October 19, 2009, Gen-Probe Incorporated (“Gen-Probe”) filed a patent infringement action against BD in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint alleges that certain specimen collection products of BD infringe eight U.S. patents of Gen-Probe. Gen-Probe is seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On September 19, 2007, the Company was served with a qui tam complaint filed by a private party against the Company in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, alleging violations of the Federal False Claims Act (“FCA”) and the Texas False Claims Act (the “TFCA”) (<i>U.S. ex rel Fitzgerald v. BD et al. </i>(Civil Action No. 3:03-CV-1589, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas). The suit alleges that a group purchasing organization’s practices with its suppliers, including the Company, inflated the costs of healthcare reimbursement. Under the FCA, the United States Department of Justice, Civil Division has a certain period of time in which to decide whether to join the claim against the Company as an additional plaintiff; to date, it has not done so. A similar process is followed under the TFCA: to date, the State of Texas has not availed itself of that process. In September 2008, the Court dismissed certain of the plaintiff’s claims, but denied the Company’s motion to dismiss with respect to other claims. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to each of the above-mentioned suits pending against the Company and is engaged in a vigorous defense of each of these matters. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is also involved both as a plaintiff and a defendant in other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is a party to a number of Federal proceedings in the United States brought under the Comprehensive Environment Response, Compensation and Liability Act, also known as “Superfund,” and similar state laws.

For all sites, there are other potentially responsible parties that may be jointly or severally liable to pay all cleanup costs. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Given the uncertain nature of litigation generally, the Company is not able in all cases to estimate the amount or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome of the litigation to which the Company is a party. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company establishes accruals to the extent probable future losses are estimable (in the case of environmental matters, without considering possible third-party recoveries). In view of the uncertainties discussed above, the Company could incur charges in excess of any currently established accruals and, to the extent available, excess liability insurance. In the opinion of management, any such future charges, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows. </div> </div>

SARs vest over a four-year period and have a ten-year term. The fair value was estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based binomial option valuation model that uses the following weighted-average assumptions in 2009, 2008 and 2007: risk-free interest rate of 2.73%, 3.83% and 4.56%, respectively; expected volatility of 28%, 27% and 28%, respectively; expected dividend yield of 2.11%, 1.35% and 1.37%, respectively, and expected life of 6.5 years for all years. Expected volatility is based upon historical volatility for the Company’s common stock and other factors. The expected life of SARs granted is derived from the output of the lattice-based model, using assumed exercise rates based on historical exercise and termination patterns, and represents the period of time that SARs granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate used is based upon the published U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for instruments with a similar life. The dividend yield is based upon the most recently declared quarterly dividend as of the grant date. The weighted average grant date fair value of SARs granted during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $16.11 and $24.92 and $22.66, respectively. The total intrinsic value of SARs exercised during 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $406, $2,122, and $321, respectively. The Company issued 3,979 shares during 2009 to satisfy the SARs exercised. The actual tax benefit realized for tax deductions from SAR exercises totaled $154, $808 and $103, respectively.
