ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The company is exposed to risk that its earnings, cash flows and equity could be adversely impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.
Certain derivative instruments are used when available on a cost-effective basis to hedge the company’s underlying economic exposures.
Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding the company’s financial instruments and hedging strategies.
Foreign Currency Risk AbbVie’s primary net foreign currency translation exposures are the euro, British pound, Japanese yen and Canadian dollar.
Various AbbVie foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates for anticipated intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the local entity.
These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of the variability of the cash flows due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are marked-to-market with the resulting gains or losses reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Deferred gains or losses on these contracts are included in cost of products sold at the time the products are sold to a third party, generally within twelve months.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, AbbVie held $1.0 billion and $249 million, respectively, of such contracts, which all mature in the following calendar year.
AbbVie enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency denominated trade payables and receivables.
The contracts, which are not designated as hedges, are marked-to-market, and resulting gains or losses are reflected in income and are generally offset by losses or gains on the foreign currency exposure being managed.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, AbbVie held $4.3 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively, of such foreign currency forward exchange contracts.
The following table reflects the total foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31.
## Table 0 ##
The company estimates that a 10 percent appreciation in the underlying currencies being hedged from their levels against the U. S.  dollar, with all other variables held constant, would decrease the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts by $526 million at December 31, 2012.
If realized, this appreciation would negatively affect earnings over the remaining life of the contacts.
A 10 percent appreciation is believed to be a reasonably possible near-term change in foreign currencies.
Currency restrictions enacted in Venezuela require AbbVie to obtain approval from the Venezuelan government to exchange Venezuelan bolivars for U. S.  dollars and require such exchange to be made at the official exchange rate established by the government.
Effective February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan

Amortization of Intangible Assets and Deferred Stock Compensation.
Amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation includes the amortization of the contract rights intangible associated with certain executory contracts, core/developed technology, trademarks, trade names, customer relationships, covenants not to compete and other intangibles acquired in business combinations completed during fiscal 2003, 2004 and 2005.
We amortize intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which range from three to ten years.
Deferred stock compensation represents the intrinsic value of unvested stock options assumed in connection with prior year acquisitions.
We amortize deferred stock compensation on a straight-line basis over the options’ remaining vesting period of one to four years.
Generally, amortization of deferred stock compensation will decrease over time as the assumed stock options vest, although employee terminations affect the exact timing and amount of future amortization of deferred stock compensation.
Amortization expense for these assets is included in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:
