Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants of

The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company

Employee Incentive Thrift Plan and the Bristol-Myers Squibb

Company Savings Plan Committee

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Employee Incentive Thrift Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2009 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2009 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE THRIFT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION

Description of the Plan – The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Employee Incentive Thrift Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution retirement plan that includes a cash or deferred arrangement as defined by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) and sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the Company). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), and is intended to be a qualified plan under section 401(a) of the Code.

The description of the Plan in the following Notes provides only general information and does not modify any provision of the Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan’s governing document and/or Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

Plan Administration – The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Savings Plan Committee (the Committee) is the Administrator, as defined by ERISA, of the Plan and named fiduciary with respect to Plan assets. Fidelity Employer Services Company provides recordkeeping services with respect to the Plan. The assets of the Plan are maintained in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Savings Plan Master Trust (the Savings Plan Master Trust), of which Fidelity Management Trust (Fidelity Trust) serves as directed trustee.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

Investment Valuation – The assets of the Plan, as well as the assets of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Savings and Investment Program (the Savings Program) and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Puerto Rico, Inc. Savings and Investment Program (the Puerto Rico Program) are maintained in the Savings Plan Master Trust, see “—Note 6. Savings Plan Master Trust.” For a discussion of the valuation policies for each investment class, see “—Note 3. Fair Value Measurement.”

Income Recognition – Interest, dividends, and realized and unrealized gains and losses earned from participation in the Savings Plan Master Trust are allocated to the Plan based upon participants’ account balances and activity. This investment activity is presented on a net basis on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits as the Plan’s share of net investment income in the Savings Plan Master Trust and is accounted for as follows:

•

Interest is accrued by the Savings Plan Master Trust as earned.

•

Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

•

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded by the Savings Plan Master Trust on a trade-date basis.

•

Realized gains and losses for security transactions are reported using the average cost method.

Expenses – All expenses incurred by the Plan, other than investment management and trustee fees, which are paid from each Savings Plan Master Trust fund’s assets, are paid by the Company. Management fees charged to the Plan for investments are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected in the Plan’s share of net investment income in the Savings Plan Master Trust. Consequently, management fees are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of additions and deductions to the net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results may or may not differ from estimated results.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial Instruments and Investments – The Savings Plan Master Trust holds various investment instruments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in value of investment securities, it is reasonably possible that significant changes in the values of investment securities could occur in the near term and such changes could have a material adverse effect on the Plan’s financial statements.

Income Taxes and Tax Status – In the Plan’s latest determination letter dated July 8, 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Although the Plan has been amended and restated since receiving the determination letter, the Plan Administrator believes, to the best of its knowledge, that the Plan is currently designed and operated in material compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and ERISA, and that the Plan and Savings Plan Master Trust continue to be exempt from federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501 of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements. Contributions made by participants on a pre-tax basis, the Company’s matching contributions, and the earnings thereon are not included in participants’ gross income for purposes of federal income taxes until distributed from the Plan.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) became effective on July 1, 2009. At that date, the ASC became FASB’s official source of authoritative U.S. GAAP applicable to all public and nonpublic nongovernmental entities, superseding existing guidance issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) and other related literature. The FASB also issues Accounting Standards Updates (ASU). An ASU communicates amendments to the ASC. An ASU also provides information to help a user of U.S. GAAP understand how and why U.S. GAAP is changing and when the changes will be effective.

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard which establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued. The new standard, adopted as of December 31, 2009, establishes:

•

the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements (through the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued);

•

the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and

•

the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a new standard which expanded disclosures and required that major category for debt and equity securities in the fair value hierarchy table be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investments. The guidance emphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement does not change even when market activity for the asset or liability has decreased significantly. Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. When observable transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, then consideration should be given as to the appropriateness of the asset or liability’s fair value determined using these observable transactions or quoted prices. Adjustments to those transactions or prices should be applied to determine the appropriate fair value. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued a new standard which permitted, as a practical expedient, an entity holding investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share or its equivalent for which the fair value is not readily determinable, to measure the fair value of such investments on the basis of that net asset value per share or its equivalent without adjustment. The standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature and risks of investments within its scope. Such disclosures include the nature of any restrictions on an investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date and any unfunded commitments. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued a new standard adding new disclosure requirements for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. The standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. This standard is not expected to have an impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

As defined in ASC 820, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Plan utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Savings Plan Master Trust’s investment valuation policies per investment class are as follows:

•

The Company Stock Fund and Mead Johnson Stock Fund are valued based upon quoted prices of underlying assets. The Company Stock Fund and Mead Johnson Stock Fund consist primarily of shares of common stock of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and Mead Johnson Nutrition Company, respectively, and are valued based upon quoted prices at the last reported sales price at the end of the year, or, if there was not a sale that day, the last reported bid price. From time to time, the Plan may invest in U.S. Government obligations or other investments of a short-term nature, which will ultimately be used for the purchase of shares of common stock of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and Mead Johnson Nutrition Company, respectively. Such investments are valued at cost plus interest earned, which approximates fair value.

•

Mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end.

•

Common collective trust (CCT) fund fair values are determined daily by the respective fund manager and represent the net asset value (NAV) of the underlying investments within the respective CCTs. The net asset value represents the price at which Plan participants would transact their respective CCT interest at any point in time. The CCTs are comprised of domestic equity index funds and domestic equity funds primarily invested in publicly traded securities, cash investments, and other short term investments. There were no unfunded commitments or restrictions on redemptions related to the CCTs as of December 31, 2009.

•

Money market instruments are valued at cost plus interest earned, which approximates their fair value.

•

Fixed Income Fund investments include fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, comprised of traditional guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), security-backed contracts (synthetic GICs), and the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund, a fixed income collective trust fund, which are stated at fair value within the Plan interest in Savings Plan Master Trust line item and then adjusted on a separate line item to contract value in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Effective September 2009, the Fixed Income Fund is managed by Galliard Capital Management, which now utilizes a NAV that reflects interest earned by a daily increase to NAV. The Fixed Income Fund formerly utilized a constant NAV of $1 with interest earned posted on a monthly basis to participant accounts. There were no unfunded commitments or restrictions on redemptions related to the Fixed Income Fund as of December 31, 2009.

The fair value of the GICs is calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations.

Fair value of synthetic GICs equals the total of the fair value of the underlying assets plus the fair value of the wrapper contract. A wrapper contract is an agreement by another party to make payments to the Fixed Income Fund in certain circumstances. The fair value of the wrapper contract was not considered to be material as of December 31, 2009. Wrapper contracts are designed to allow synthetic GIC portfolios to maintain NAV and to ensure the future minimum interest crediting rate does not fall below zero. The assets underlying the synthetic GICs were primarily comprised of U.S. government securities in Wells Fargo fixed income funds. The fair value of the Wells Fargo fixed income funds is determined by the respective fund manager on a daily basis and represents the NAV of the underlying investments. In the

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY

EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE THRIFT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued)

event that wrapper contracts fail to perform as intended, the Fixed Income Fund’s NAV may decline if the market value of its assets declines. The Fixed Income Fund’s ability to receive amounts due pursuant to these wrapper contracts is dependent on the third-party issuer’s ability to meet their financial obligations. The wrapper issuer’s ability to meet its contractual obligations under the wrapper contracts may be affected by future economic and regulatory developments.

The Fixed Income Fund is unlikely to maintain a stable NAV if, for any reason, it cannot obtain or maintain wrapper contracts covering all of its underlying assets. This could result from the Fund’s inability to promptly find a replacement wrapper contract following termination of a wrapper contract. Wrapper contracts are non-transferable and have no trading market. There are a limited number of wrapper issuers.

The Fixed Income Fund is credited with contributions and earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Units are issued and redeemed at the Fixed Income Fund’s NAV, as reported by the fund manager, at any point in time. The GIC and synthetic GIC issuers are contractually obligated to pay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan’s interest in the Savings Plan Master Trust.

The fair value of the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund equals the fair value of the underlying assets. The Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund primarily invests in GICs, synthetic GICs, and cash equivalents. The fair value is determined by the fund manager on a daily basis and represents the NAV of the underlying investments.

Contract value represents contributions made to the fund, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

At any point in time, the Fixed Income Fund’s average yield will be a combined rate based upon the balances and the interest rates of the investments which comprise the fund, and depends on the amount of contributions invested in the fund, the amounts withdrawn from the fund and the amounts transferred to and from the fund. The fund’s average yield is measured by the investment manager using general market reporting methods. The crediting interest rate at any date is the weighted-average of the yields on the individual contracts and other investments in the Fixed Income Fund on that date.

•

The value of outstanding participant loans is determined based on the outstanding principal balance as of the last day of the Plan year, which approximates fair value.

The valuation methods as described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

For information on the fair value hierarchy, by level described above, of the Plan’s Savings Plan Master Trust’s investments measured at fair value, see “—Note 6. Savings Plan Master Trust.”

The following table summarizes the activity for those financial assets where fair value measurements are estimated utilizing Level 3 inputs:

NOTE 4 – PLAN PARTICIPATION

Employee Eligibility – Any union employee who is covered by a collective bargaining agreement that provides for participation in the Plan and who meets certain service requirements, as defined in the Plan document, is eligible to participate. Employees who are or may become eligible to participate in the Plan (participants) may participate in the Plan following their date of hire, although the Company matching contributions do not begin until an eligible employee has attained six months of service as prescribed by the Plan.

Employee Contributions – Participants can elect to contribute up to 25% of his or her annual benefit salary or wages (as defined in the Plan document) on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis, in all events, subject to IRS annual limits and non-discrimination test results. Effective November 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to add an annual increase feature, thereby allowing participants to schedule an automatic increase in their pre-tax and/or after-tax contributions to the Plan of 1% to 3% annually, subject in all events to the Plan’s maximum deferral rate of 25%. Employee contributions are recorded on an accrual basis.

Automatic Contributions – Effective November 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to add an automatic enrollment feature. Under this feature, if an eligible employee hired on or after November 1, 2008 does not make a pre-tax and/or after-tax contribution election within his or her first 180 days of employment (from date of hire), the Company will automatically start making contributions to the Plan in his or her name at the rate of 6% of his or her annual benefit salary or wages through pre-tax salary reductions starting with the first payroll period after the date that is 180 days after his or her date of hire. These contributions will be identical to pre-tax contributions elected by a participant, including immediate 100% vesting and matched on the same terms. The participant may change the contribution rate, including ceasing all elective contributions, and may elect after-tax or a combination of pre-tax and after-tax elective contributions at any time. In the absence of an affirmative investment direction from the participant, 100% of the automatic contribution will be invested in the qualified default investment alternative, which as of November 1, 2008, is the T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund for retirement in the year closest to the year in which the participant would attain age 65 assuming he or she survived at least until his or her 65th birthday.

Employer Contributions – During 2009, the Company contributed a matching contribution equal to 75% of pre-tax and/or after-tax contributions up to 6% of the participant’s annual benefit salary or wages elected by a participant at the time of the employee contribution. Employer contributions are recorded on an accrual basis.

Investment Decisions – The Plan gives participants the opportunity to direct the manner in which contributions made to the Plan in their name, including matching contributions, and earnings thereon, are invested among a variety of investment funds. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, contributions were invested in any one or more of the funds which comprise the Savings Plan Master Trust, see “—Note 6. Savings Plan Master Trust.” Through November 1, 2008, the default fund for Company matching contributions for participants who do not actively designate a fund for their Company matching contributions was the Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio. Subsequent to November 1, 2008, the default fund for all contributions as to which no affirmative investment direction is given was changed to the qualified default investment alternative, which as of November 1, 2008, is the T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds for retirement in the year closest to the year in which the participant would attain age 65 assuming he or she survived at least until his or her 65^th birthday.

Catch-up Contributions – The Plan allows for catch-up contributions for participants who are 50 years of age or older. Catch-up contributions are intended to give “catch-up eligible” participants the opportunity to make additional pre-tax contributions over the applicable IRS and Plan limits. The catch-up contribution itself was limited to $5.5 thousand and $5 thousand in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Catch-up contributions (if elected) are deducted at the same time as all other contributions and the annual limit is indexed for inflation by the IRS. There is no Company match on catch-up contributions.

Participant Accounts – Each participant’s account under the Plan is credited with the participant’s elected pre-tax and/or after-tax contributions, the Company’s matching contribution, and the participant’s respective share of Plan earnings and is charged with participant withdrawals and distributions, and the participant’s respective share of Plan losses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the participant’s vested Plan account.

NOTE 4 – PLAN PARTICIPATION (Continued)

Participant Loans – While employed, a participant may request a loan from the Plan. The amount of the loan may not exceed the lesser of (1) 50% of the participant’s entire vested interest under the Plan, determined as of the valuation date, or (2) $50 thousand less the highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months. As permitted by IRS regulations and the terms of the Plan, loans are secured by the balance in the participant accounts and bear interest at rates set by the Committee. Repayments and interest are credited to the Plan account of the participant.

Withdrawals Prior to Retirement – While employed, a participant may withdraw all or part of the employee and vested employer contributions, subject to certain restrictions imposed pursuant to the Plan and excise taxes imposed by the Code.

Vesting – Matching contributions vest at the rate of 20% for each year of qualifying service. In addition, upon becoming eligible for benefits under the Company’s long-term disability benefits plan, death or normal retirement, a participant will become 100% vested in matching contributions regardless of his or her years of service. A participant is always 100% vested in pre-tax, after-tax, rollover contributions from other plans and catch-up contributions as well as earnings thereon.

Forfeitures – If a participant’s employment terminates before he or she become fully vested, the unvested portion of matching contributions credited to his or her account are forfeited and may be used to reduce future matching contributions or pay expenses of Plan administration. During the year ended December 31, 2009, forfeitures totaled $5 thousand. During the year ended December 31, 2009, matching contributions were not reduced by forfeitures. Participants who return to work for the Company who were partially or fully vested prior to their termination will be reinstated to their previous level of vesting and may immediately enroll in the Plan.

Termination of Employment and Payment of Benefits – Upon the termination of employment, the participant, or in the event of his or her death, the participant’s spouse or designated beneficiary, may, under varying circumstances, receive (1) a lump sum payment, (2) installment payments for a period between two and 15 years, and in the event there are minimum required distributions, the installment payment shall not exceed the joint life expectancy of the participant and the participant’s spouse (five years if payment is by reason of death), or (3) an annuity for employees hired prior to October 1, 1994. If the participant chooses to have payments made in annual installments, then the participant may also choose to have payments continue to his or her beneficiary if the participant dies before receiving all of the installments. If the participant chooses to have the payment made in installments and does not elect to have payments continue to his or her beneficiary on an installment basis, in the event of the participant’s death, the beneficiary can choose to receive the unpaid balance in a single payment or over a period of two to five years. In each case the payment will be based on the vested value in the respective funds allocated to the participant.

Net Transfers – A participant’s account may be transferred to or from another qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by the Company if his or her employment status changes such that he or she becomes eligible to participate in a different plan. A participant’s account could also be transferred to another company’s qualified defined contribution plan if required by the terms of a Company transaction. Similarly, new accounts could be transferred in from another company’s qualified defined contribution plan, if required under the terms of a business acquisition. For a discussion of significant transfer activity, see “—Note 5. Other Significant Plan Activity.”

Payment of Benefits – Benefit payments are recorded upon distribution. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of persons who have elected to withdraw from the Plan but have not yet been paid as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Termination of the Plan – Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right to discontinue its contributions, amend, and terminate the Plan at anytime in its sole discretion in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. If the Plan is terminated, the interest of each participant in all funds will vest immediately.

NOTE 5 – OTHER SIGNIFICANT PLAN ACTIVITY

On December 23, 2009, the Company completed a divestiture of the remaining interest in Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (Mead Johnson) through a split-off by offering its previously owned 170 million shares of Mead Johnson common stock in exchange for 269 million outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. In conjunction with the split-off, participants in the Company Common Stock Fund had the one-time option to exchange one share of Bristol-Myers Squibb common stock held for a 0.6313 share of Mead Johnson common stock. Participants tendered 14,727 Bristol-Myers Squibb common shares for 9,297 Mead Johnson common shares initially valued at $402 thousand. Balances can remain in the Mead Johnson Stock Fund for two years as of the split-off date but no new contributions or transfers into the Mead Johnson Stock Fund are permitted. Participants may direct the trustee to liquidate some or all of their holdings in the Mead Johnson Stock Fund at any time during this two year period and reinvest the proceeds in other funds available under this Plan. The fund will be discontinued effective December 22, 2011. Any remaining participant balances will be transferred, at that date, to other funds offered by the Plan as directed by the Plan participants. If no direction is provided, then the remaining balance will be transferred to the T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund.

Effective September 1, 2009, the Fixed Income Fund, including the Fidelity Institutional Cash Portfolio Money Market Fund and GICs was transferred to the Galliard Fixed Income Fund. This fund is comprised of GICS and synthetic GICs as well as a collective trust fund. The previous Fixed Income Fund utilized a constant $1 NAV and interest was posted once a month to participant accounts. For the Galliard Fixed Income Fund, interest earned is reflected by a daily increase in the NAV, as well as included in the net appreciation in fair value of investments.

NOTE 7 – FIXED INCOME FUND

The Plan offers a Fixed Income Fund, within the Savings Plan Master Trust, as an investment fund available to participants. The Fixed Income Fund holds GICs and synthetic GICs with various issuers in several fully benefit-responsive investment contracts plus a collective trust fund which provide a guarantee of principal and credit interest at a guaranteed rate. Contributions are maintained in a general account, which is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Each fully benefit responsive investment contract is presented in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits at fair value within the Plan interest in Savings Plan Master Trust line item and then adjusted on a separate line item in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits to contract value.

Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Certain events may limit the ability of the fund to transact at contract value with the issuer, such as premature termination of the contracts by the fund, significant plant closings, significant layoffs, plan terminations, bankruptcy, mergers, or the Plan’s loss of its qualified status. Plan management believes that the occurrence of events that would cause participants to transact at less than contract value is not probable. The issuers may not terminate a contract at any amount less than contract value.

There are currently no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise.

The issuers are contractually obligated to pay the principal and specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan. All contracts pay interest on a net basis. Effective September 2009, the interest crediting rate is reset and declared on a daily basis instead of on a periodic basis. The crediting interest rate of the Fixed Income Fund was 4.1% as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but may not be less than the percentage based on the individual contracts which range during 2009 from 2.90% to 5.86%. The key factors that influence future interest crediting rates for a wrapper contract include current interest rates, the investment returns generated by the fixed income investments that back the wrapper contract, and the duration of the underlying investments backing the wrapper contract. The average yields for investment contracts with issuers on an overall Savings Plan Master Trust level for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:


	2009		2008
Average yields:
Based on annualized earnings (1)	4.14	%	4.17	%
Based on interest rate credited to participants (2)	4.12	%	4.17	%

(1)	Computed by dividing the annualized one-day actual earnings of the investment contract on the last day of the Plan year by the fair value of the investments on the same date.

(2)	Computed by dividing the annualized one-day earnings credited to participants on the last day of the Plan year by the fair value of the investments on the same date.

NOTE 8 – RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500

The accompanying financial statements present fully benefit responsive synthetic guaranteed investment contracts held in the Fixed Income Fund at contract value. The Form 5500 requires fully benefit responsive synthetic guaranteed investment contracts to be reported at fair value.

Additionally, the Form 5500 requires the Savings Plan Master Trust to file a separate 5500 as a direct filing entity (DFE), which includes the total Savings Plan Master Trust administrative expenses per Schedule C Service Provider Information. As such, the Plan does not report administrative expenses attributable to the Savings Plan Master Trust on the Plan Form 5500 filing.

NOTE 9 – ERISA LITIGATION AND SECURITIES LITIGATION

In August 2006, $300 thousand of settlement proceeds were received by the Plan in the following matters: In re BMS Securities Litigation, 02 Civ. 2251 (LAP) (S.D.N.Y.), U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission v. BMS. No. 04-3680 (FSH) (D.N.J.), and Deferred Prosecution Agreement, executed June 15, 2005, between the Company and the U.S. Department of Justice.

In November 2008, the Court approved the release of the remaining net settlement proceeds of approximately $2.94 million to the Savings Plan Master Trust. The Plan’s share of the net settlement proceeds, which was recorded as a settlement receivable on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits as of December 31, 2008, approximated $119 thousand and was distributed, allocated and posted to the Plan accounts in 2009.
