The revisions expand the scope of multiple-element arrangement guidance to include revenue arrangements containing certain nonsoftware elements and related software elements. Additionally, the revised guidance changes the manner in which separate units of accounting are identified within a multiple-element arrangement and modifies the manner in which transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The Company adopted the revised revenue recognition guidance for new arrangements the Company entered into on or after October 1, 2010. The adoption of these new requirements did not significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance amending the variable interest consolidation model. The revised model amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and requires a qualitative, rather than quantitative, analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company’s adoption of the amended variable interest consolidation model on October 1, 2010 did not significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> </div>

The settlement agreement provided for, among other things, the payment by the Company of $45,000 in exchange for a release by all potential class members of the direct purchaser claims under federal antitrust laws related to the products and acts enumerated in the complaint, and a dismissal of the case with prejudice, insofar as it relates to direct purchaser claims. The release would not cover potential class members that affirmatively opt out of the settlement. On September 30, 2010, the court issued an order denying a motion to approve the settlement agreement, ruling that the Hospital Plaintiffs, and not the Distributor Plaintiffs, are the direct purchasers entitled to pursue damages under the federal antitrust laws for certain sales of BD products. The settlement agreement currently remains in effect, subject to certain termination provisions, and the Distributor Plaintiffs are seeking appellate review of the court’s order. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In June 2007, Retractable Technologies, Inc. (“RTI”) filed a complaint against the Company under the caption <i>Retractable Technologies, Inc. vs. Becton Dickinson and Company </i>(Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-250, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas). RTI alleges that the BD Integra<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</sup> syringes infringe patents licensed exclusively to RTI. In its complaint, RTI also alleges that the Company engaged in false advertising with respect to certain of the Company’s safety-engineered products in violation of the Lanham Act; acted to exclude RTI from various product markets and to maintain its market share through, among other things, exclusionary contracts in violation of state and federal antitrust laws; and engaged in unfair competition. In January 2008, the court severed the patent and non-patent claims into separate cases. RTI seeks money damages and injunctive relief. On April 1, 2008, RTI filed a complaint against BD under the caption <i>Retractable Technologies, Inc. and Thomas J. Shaw v. Becton Dickinson and Company </i>(Civil Action No.2:08-cv-141, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas). RTI alleges that the BD Integra<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</sup> syringes infringe another patent licensed exclusively to RTI. RTI seeks money damages and injunctive relief. On August 29, 2008, the court ordered the consolidation of the patent cases. On November 9, 2009, at a trial of these consolidated cases, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of RTI on all but one of its infringement claims, but did not find any willful infringement, and awarded RTI $5,000 in damages. On May 19, 2010, the court granted RTI’s motion for a permanent injunction against the continued sale by the Company of its BD Integra<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</sup> products in their current form, but stayed the injunction for the longer of twelve months or the duration of any appeal. At the same time, the court lifted a stay of RTI’s non-patent claims that the court had imposed during the pendency of the patent claims at the trial court level. The trial on these claims is scheduled to begin in January 2012. On June 16, 2010, the Company filed its appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. </div> <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 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint alleges that the BD Viper™ and BD Viper™ XTR™ systems, and BD ProbeTec™ specimen collection products infringe certain U.S. patents of Gen-Probe. On March 23, 2010, Gen-Probe filed a complaint, also in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, alleging that the BD Max<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</sup> instrument infringes Gen-Probe patents. The patents alleged to be infringed are a subset of the Gen-Probe patents asserted against the Company in the October 2009 suit. On June 8, 2010, the Court consolidated these cases.

The effects these derivative instruments and hedged items have on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are provided below. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><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. From time to time, the Company may partially hedge 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. Forward contracts were used to hedge forecasted sales in fiscal year 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has not entered into contracts to hedge cash flows in fiscal year 2011. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company designates forward contracts used 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 <i>Other comprehensive income (loss) </i>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 <i>Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) </i>to <i>Revenues</i>. The Company records the premium or discount of the forward contracts, which is included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness, to <i>Revenues</i>. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 <i>Other comprehensive income (loss) </i>must be reclassified into <i>Other income (expense)</i>. 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 <i>Other income (expense)</i>. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The total notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding foreign exchange contracts as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 were $1,532,574 and $1,776,046, respectively. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><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 uses 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 <i>Other comprehensive income (loss)</i>. If interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are terminated, the balance in <i>Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) </i>attributable to those derivatives is reclassified into earnings over the remaining life of the hedged debt. The amount, related to terminated interest rate swaps, expected to be reclassified and recorded in <i>Interest expense </i>within the next 12 months is $996, net of tax. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of both December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the total notional amount of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $200,000. The current year’s outstanding swap represents a fixed-to-floating rate swap agreement 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 December 31, 2010. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><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 use 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. From time to time, the Company has managed price risks associated with other commodity purchases. The Company had no commodity forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2010. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;

As such, there were no gains or losses related to hedge ineffectiveness or amounts excluded from hedge effectiveness testing recognized immediately in income for the three-month period ending December 31, 2010. The gain recognized in other comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is attributable primarily to gains realized on interest rate swaps that were entered into in the first quarter of 2011 in anticipation of issuing $700,000 of 10-year 3.25% notes and $300,000 of 30-year 5.00% notes. These swaps were designated as hedges of the variability in interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rates against which the notes were priced. These swaps were terminated in November 2010, concurrent with the pricing of the notes. Realized gains on these swaps will be amortized over the life of the notes with an offset to interest expense. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>Fair value hedge</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The location and amount of gains or losses on the hedged fixed rate debt attributable to changes in the market interest rates and the offsetting gain (loss) on the related interest rate swaps were 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="52%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 8pt" valign="bottom"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="6" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000">Gain/(Loss) on Swaps</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="6" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000">Gain/(Loss) on Borrowings</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 8pt" valign="bottom"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="6">Three Months Ended</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="6">Three Months Ended</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 8pt" valign="bottom"> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center">Income Statement</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="6" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000">December 31,</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="6" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000">December 31,</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 8pt" valign="bottom"> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000">Classification</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="2" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000">2010</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="2" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000">2009</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="2" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000">2010</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="center" colspan="2" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000">2009</td> <td> </td> </tr>   <tr valign="bottom"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">Other income (expense) (A) </div></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="left">$</td> <td align="right">(1,730</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="left">$</td> <td align="right">(677</td> <td nowrap="nowrap">)</td> <td> </td> <td align="left">$</td> <td align="right">1,730</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td align="left">$</td> <td align="right">677</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px"> <td> <div style="margin-left:15px; text-indent:-15px">  </div></td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" colspan="2" align="right" style="border-top: 3px double #000000"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" colspan="2" align="right" style="border-top: 3px double #000000"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" colspan="2" align="right" style="border-top: 3px double #000000"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" colspan="2" align="right" style="border-top: 3px double #000000"> </td> <td> </td> </tr>  </table> </div> <div align="left"> <div style="font-size: 3pt; margin-top: 16pt; width: 18%; border-top: 1px solid #000000">  </div> </div> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"> <tr> <td width="3%"></td> <td width="1%"></td> <td width="96%"></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td nowrap="nowrap" align="left">(A)</td> <td> </td> <td>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.

The Company’s remaining cash equivalents were $799,207 and $938,565 at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Short-term investments are held to their maturities and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less and the short-term investments consist of instruments with maturities greater than three months and less than one year. The Company measures the fair value of forward exchange contracts and currency options using an income approach with significant observable inputs, specifically spot currency rates, market designated forward currency prices and a discount rate. The fair value of interest rate swaps are provided by the financial institutions that are counterparties to these arrangements. The fair value of long-term debt is based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company’s policy is to recognize any transfers into fair value measurement hierarchy levels and transfers out of levels at the beginning of each reporting period.

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 below, 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>   <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> The Company evaluates segment performance based upon operating income. Segment operating income represents revenues reduced by product costs and operating expenses. From time to time, the Company hedges against certain forecasted sales of U.S.-produced products sold outside the United States. Gains and losses associated with these foreign currency translation hedges are reported in segment revenues based upon their proportionate share of these international sales of U.S.-produced products. </div>   <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><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. From time to time, the Company may partially hedge 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. Forward contracts were used to hedge forecasted sales in fiscal year 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has not entered into contracts to hedge cash flows in fiscal year 2011. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company designates forward contracts used 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 <i>Other comprehensive income (loss) </i>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 <i>Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) </i>to <i>Revenues</i>. The Company records the premium or discount of the forward contracts, which is included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness, to <i>Revenues</i>. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 <i>Other comprehensive income (loss) </i>must be reclassified into <i>Other income (expense)</i>. 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 <i>Other income (expense)</i>. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The total notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding foreign exchange contracts as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 were $1,532,574 and $1,776,046, respectively. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><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 uses 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 <i>Other comprehensive income (loss)</i>. If interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are terminated, the balance in <i>Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) </i>attributable to those derivatives is reclassified into earnings over the remaining life of the hedged debt. The amount, related to terminated interest rate swaps, expected to be reclassified and recorded in <i>Interest expense </i>within the next 12 months is $996, net of tax. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of both December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the total notional amount of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $200,000. The current year’s outstanding swap represents a fixed-to-floating rate swap agreement 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.

While the Company has been able to hedge certain purchases of polyethylene, the Company does not currently use 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. From time to time, the Company has managed price risks associated with other commodity purchases.
