Note
1 — Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies




Nature
of Business and Operations




Albany
Molecular Research, Inc. (the “Company”) provides scientific services,
technologies and products focused on improving the quality of life. The
Company’s core business consists of a fee-for-service contract services platform
encompassing drug discovery, development and manufacturing and a separate
stand-alone research and development division consisting of proprietary
technology investments, internal drug discovery and niche generic active
pharmaceutical ingredient product development.  With locations in the
U.S., Europe, and Asia, the Company provides customers with a range of services
and cost models.




Basis
of Presentation




The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. In accordance with Rule 10-01, the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete
consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance
sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include
all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim period have been included. Operating results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009.




The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation. Assets and
liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated at period-end rates of
exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates
of exchange for the period. Unrealized gains or losses resulting from
translating non-U.S. currency financial statements are recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheets.




Use
of Management Estimates




The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.  The most significant estimates included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements include assumptions regarding the
collectibility of receivables, the valuation of inventory, restructuring and
impairment charges and the fair value of goodwill, intangible assets, and
long-lived assets. Other significant estimates include assumptions utilized in
determining the amount and realizabilty of deferred tax assets and assumptions
utilized in determining actuarial obligations in conjunction with the Company’s
pension and postretirement health plans.  Actual results can vary from
these estimates.




Contract
Revenue Recognition




The
Company’s contract revenue consists primarily of fees earned under contracts
with third-party customers and reimbursed expenses under such contracts. The
Company also seeks to include provisions in certain contracts that contain a
combination of up-front licensing fees, milestone and royalty payments should
the Company’s proprietary technology and expertise lead to the discovery of new
products that become commercial. Reimbursed expenses consist of chemicals and
other project specific costs. Generally, the Company’s contracts may be
terminated by the customer upon 30 days’ to one year’s prior notice,
depending on the terms and/or size of the contract. The Company analyzes its
agreements to determine whether the elements can be separated and accounted for
individually or as a single unit of accounting in accordance with FASB’s
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, “Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables,” and ASC Topic 13 (formerly Staff Accounting Bulletin
(“SAB”) 104), “Revenue Recognition”. Allocation of revenue to individual
elements that qualify for separate accounting is based on the fair value of the
respective elements.




6




The
Company generates contract revenue on the following basis:




Full-time
Equivalent (“FTE”). An FTE
agreement establishes the number of Company employees contracted for a project
or a series of projects, the duration of the contract period, the price per FTE,
plus an allowance for chemicals and other project specific costs, which may or
may not be incorporated in the FTE rate. FTE contracts can run in one month
increments, but typically have terms of six months or longer. FTE contracts
typically provide for annual adjustments in billing rates for the scientists
assigned to the contract.




These
contracts involve the Company’s scientists providing services on a “best
efforts” basis on a project that may involve a research component with a
timeframe or outcome that has some level of unpredictability. There are no fixed
deliverables that must be met for payment as part of these services. As such,
the Company recognizes revenue under FTE contracts on a monthly basis as
services are performed according to the terms of the contract.




Time and
Materials. Under
a time and materials contract the Company charges customers an hourly rate plus
reimbursement for chemicals and other project specific costs. The Company
recognizes revenue for time and material contracts based on the number of hours
devoted to the project multiplied by the customer’s billing rate plus other
project specific costs incurred.




Fixed-Fee. Under a fixed-fee contract
the Company charges a fixed agreed upon amount for a deliverable. Fixed-fee
contracts have fixed deliverables upon completion of the project. Typically, the
Company recognizes revenue for fixed-fee contracts after projects are completed,
delivery is made and title transfers to the customer, and collection is
reasonably assured. In certain instances, the Company’s customers request that
the Company retain materials produced upon completion of the project due to the
fact that the customer does not have a qualified facility to store those
materials or for other reasons.  In these instances, the revenue
recognition process is considered complete when project documents (batch
records, Certificates of Analysis, etc.) have been delivered to the customer and
payment has been collected.




Up-Front License
Fees, Milestone, and Royalty Revenue.The Company recognizes
revenue from up-front non-refundable licensing fees on a straight-line basis
over the period of the underlying project. The Company will recognize revenue
arising from a substantive milestone payment upon the successful achievement of
the event, and the resolution of any uncertainties or contingencies regarding
potential collection of the related payment, or if appropriate over the
remaining term of the agreement.




Recurring
Royalties Revenue Recognition.  Recurring
royalties consist of royalties under a license agreement with sanofi-aventis
based on the worldwide sales of fexofenadine HCl, marketed as Allegra in the
Americas and Telfast elsewhere, as well as on sales of sanofi-aventis’
authorized generics. The Company records royalty revenue in the period in which
the sales of Allegra/Telfast occur, because we can reasonably estimate such
royalties. Royalty payments from sanofi-aventis are due within 45 days
after each calendar quarter and are determined based on sales of Allegra/Telfast
in that quarter, with the exception of Allegra D-12 which has a fixed royalty
amount through July 2010.




Long-Lived
Assets:




The
Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.
Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review
include, among others, the following:




·
            a
      significant change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is
      being used;




·
            a
      significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of
      a long-lived asset; and




·
            a
      significant decrease in the market value of
  assets.




If the
Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be
recoverable, based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of
impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset group to the
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the
carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows an impairment charge is
recorded. An impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying
amount of the asset group exceeds their fair value and will reduce only the
carrying amounts of the long-lived assets. The Company utilizes the assistance
of an independent valuation firm in determining the fair values.




7




Goodwill:


The
Company performs an annualassessment of the
carrying value of goodwill for potential impairment (or on an interim basis if
certain triggering events occur). A determination of impairment is made based
upon the comparison of the book value to the fair value of the related reporting
unit.  If goodwill is determined to be impaired, the Company would be
required to record a charge to its results of operations. Factors the Company
considers important which could result in an impairment include the
following:




·
            significant underperformance relative to
      historical or projected future operating
      results;




·
            significant negative industry or economic trends;
      and




·
            market capitalization relative to net book
      value

6 for further information on the Company’s goodwill balances.

Acquisition
of Hyaluron Inc.




On June
14, 2010 the Company completed the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of
Hyaluron, Inc. (“AMRI Burlington”), a formulation facility located in
Burlington, Massachusetts.   The aggregate purchase price was
$27,876.




Hyaluron
provides high value-added contract manufacturing services in sterile syringe and
vial filling using specialized technologies including lyophilization and
Bubble-Free FillingTM, a
unique patented technology developed and owned by Hyaluron.  Hyaluron
provides these services for both small molecule drug products and biologicals,
from clinical phase to commercial scale.





A final
valuation will be completed to determine the fair value of the acquired property
and equipment and any potential identifiable intangibles, which may result in
changes to their estimated fair values, as well as changes to the allocated
goodwill fair value.  The following table summarizes the preliminary
allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets
acquired:

Acquisition
of Excelsyn Ltd.




On
February 17, 2010, the Company completed the purchase of all of the outstanding
shares of Excelsyn Ltd. (“Excelsyn”), a chemical development and manufacturing
facility located in Holywell, United Kingdom.  The aggregate purchase
price was $18,250.




Excelsyn
provides development and large scale manufacturing services to large
pharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers throughout
Europe, Asia and North America. Manufacturing services include pre-clinical and
Phase I – III product development as well as commercial manufacturing services
for approved products.  The acquisition of Excelsyn expands AMRI’s
portfolio of development and large scale manufacturing facilities as well as its
customer portfolio, with little overlap of customers between the two
companies.




A final
valuation will be completed to determine the fair value of the acquired property
and equipment and any potential identifiable intangibles, which may result in
changes to their estimated fair values, as well as changes to the allocated
goodwill fair value.  The following table summarizes the preliminary
allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets
acquired:

Pro forma
financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as if
the Excelsyn acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2010, has been
excluded due to the immateriality of the operating results of Excelsyn in
relation to the Company’s consolidated operating results as a
whole.

The
Company has excluded certain outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted
shares from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 because the Company was at a net loss
position.  The Company has excluded certain outstanding stock options
and non-vested restricted shares from the calculation of diluted earnings per
share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 because the exercise
price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares
during that period, and as such, these options and shares would be
anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of anti-dilutive options and
restricted shares outstanding (before the effects of the treasury stock method)
was 1,904 and 1,919 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively and 1,816 and 1,949 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.  These amounts are not included in the calculation
of weighted average common shares outstanding.

Note
5 — Restructuring and Impairment




AMRI
U.S.





In May
2010, the Company initiated a restructuring of its AMRI U.S.
location.  As part of its strategy to increase global competitiveness
and continue to be diligent in managing costs, the Company implemented
significant cost reduction activities at its operations in the
U.S.  These cost reduction activities included a reduction in the U.S.
workforce, as well as the suspension of operations at one of its research
laboratory facilities in Rensselaer, New York.  Employees and
equipment from this facility will be consolidated into other nearby Company
operations.





The
Company recorded a restructuring charge, including associated asset impairment
charges caused as a consequence of restructuring, of $5,820 in the second
quarter of 2010.  This charge includes lease termination charges, net
of sublease income of $2,182, termination benefits and personnel realignment
costs of $846 and facility and other costs of $250.  In addition,
asset impairment charges as a consequence of restructuring of $2,542 were
recorded,





In
conjunction with the AMRI U.S. restructuring, the Company realigned the nature
of its operating activities in a nearby research laboratory
facility.  As a result, the Company evaluated the future economic
benefit expected to be generated from the revised operating activities in this
facility against the carrying value of the facility’s property and equipment and
determined that these assets were impaired.  The Company recorded a
property and equipment impairment charge of $2,306 in the second quarter of 2010
to reduce the carrying value of the assets to their estimated fair market
value.




The
restructuring costs are included under the caption “Restructuring and impairment
charges” in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 and the restructuring liabilities are included in
“Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and “Accrued long-term restructuring” on
the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010.

The
decrease in goodwill within the DDS segment from December 31, 2009 to June 30,
2010 is primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation, offset in
part by the goodwill recorded in association with the acquisition of Excelsyn in
February 2010.  The increase in goodwill within the LSM segment from
December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 is primarily due to the goodwill recorded in
association with the acquisition of Excelsyn in February 2010 and the
acquisition of Hyaluron in June 2010, offset in part by a decrease due to the
impact of foreign currency translation.

Total
contract revenue from DDS’s three largest customers represented approximately
20%, 8% and 6% of DDS’s total contract revenue for the three months ended June
30, 2010, and 22%, 9% and 6% of DDS’s total contract revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 2009.  Total contract revenue from DDS’s three
largest customers represented approximately 21%, 8% and 5% of DDS’s total
contract revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 20%, 10% and 6% for
the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Total contract revenue from LSM’s
largest customer, GE Healthcare (“GE”), represented 25% and 28% of LSM’s total
contract revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.  Total contract revenue from GE represented 33% and 30%
of LSM’s total contract revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.  GE accounted for approximately 16% and 14% of the
Company’s total contract revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.  The increase in GE sales in 2010 is primarily due
to a return toward historical demand in 2010 as a result of its 2009 inventory
reduction efforts.  This is expected to continue throughout 2010
causing full year 2010 sales to GE to be above amounts recognized in
2009.  The DDS segment’s largest customer, a large pharmaceutical
company, represented approximately 11% and 10% of the Company’s total contract
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

Note
11 — Legal Proceedings




The
Company, from time to time, may be involved in various claims and legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Except as noted below in
regard to litigation relating to Allegra, the Company is not currently a party
to any such claims or proceedings which, if decided adversely to the Company,
would either individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.




The
Company, through its former subsidiary AMR Technology that has been merged into
the Company, along with Aventis Pharmaceuticals Inc., the U.S. pharmaceutical
business of sanofi-aventis S.A., has been involved in legal proceedings
with several companies seeking to market or which are currently marketing
generic versions of Allegra. Beginning in 2001, Barr Laboratories, Inc., Impax
Laboratories, Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Dr.
Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd./Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., Ranbaxy Laboratories
Ltd./Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc., Sandoz Inc., Sun Pharma Global, Inc.,
Wockhardt, and Actavis Mid Atlantic LLC filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications
(“ANDAs”) with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to produce and market
generic versions of Allegra products.




In
response to the filings described above, beginning in 2001, Aventis
Pharmaceuticals filed patent infringement lawsuits against Barr Laboratories,
Impax Laboratories, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Reddy’s
Laboratories, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd./Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc., Sandoz,
Wockhardt, Sun Pharma Global, Inc., and Actavis Inc. and Actavis Mid Atlantic
LLC.  Each of the lawsuits was filed in the U.S. District Court in New
Jersey and alleges infringement of one or more patents owned by Aventis
Pharmaceuticals. In addition, beginning on November 14, 2006, Aventis filed two
patent infringement suits against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Barr Laboratories,
Inc. and Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the Eastern District of Texas based on
patents owned by Aventis.  Those lawsuits were transferred to the U.S.
District Court in New Jersey.




Further,
beginning on March 5, 2004, the Company, through its former subsidiary AMR
Technology, along with Aventis Pharmaceuticals, filed suit in the U.S. District
Court in New Jersey against Barr Laboratories, Impax Laboratories, Mylan
Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Amino
Chemicals, Ltd., Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd./Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
DiPharma S.P.A., DiPharma Francis s.r.l., and Sandoz, asserting infringement of
U.S. Patent Nos. 5,581,011 and 5,750,703 that are exclusively licensed to
Aventis Pharmaceuticals relating to Allegra and Allegra-D
products.  On December 11, 2006, the Company through its former
subsidiary AMR Technology and sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC, an affiliate of Aventis
Pharmaceuticals, also filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Republic of
Italy against DiPharma Francis s.r.l. and DiPharma S.P.A. based on European
Patent No. 703,902 which is owned by the Company and licensed to
sanofi-aventis.  In addition, on December 22, 2006, the Company
through its former subsidiary AMR Technology, filed a patent infringement
lawsuit in Canada against Novopharm Ltd., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.,
Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., DiPharma S.P.A. and DiPharma s.r.l. based on
Canadian Patent No. 2,181,089. On March 20, 2007, the Company through its former
subsidiary AMR Technology filed a patent infringement lawsuit in Australia
against Alphapharm Pty Ltd based on Australian Patent No. 699,799.  On
September 28, 2007, the Company, through its former subsidiary AMR Technology,
filed a patent infringement lawsuit in Australia against Arrow Pharmaceuticals
Pty Ltd, Chemists’ Own Pty Ltd, and Sigma Pharmaceuticals Limited based on
Australian Patent No. 699,799.  On September 9, 2009, the Company
filed patent infringement lawsuits in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey
against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., and
Sandoz, Inc. asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,390,906, seeking
statutory damages.




16




Aventis
Pharmaceuticals, the Company, and its former subsidiary AMR Technology have
entered into covenants not to sue on U.S. Patent No. 5,578,610 with defendants
other than Novopharm, DiPharma S.P.A., DiPharma Francis s.r.l., Alphapharm,
Arrow Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd, Chemists’ Own Pty Ltd, and Sigma Pharmaceuticals
Limited.  Aventis Pharmaceuticals exclusively licenses U.S. Patent No.
5,578,610 from the Company, but that patent has not been asserted in the
litigations in the U.S.  However, the Company and Aventis
Pharmaceuticals have agreed that Aventis Pharmaceuticals will continue to pay
royalties to the Company based on that patent under the Company’s original
license agreement with Aventis Pharmaceuticals. Under the Company’s arrangements
with Aventis Pharmaceuticals, the Company will receive royalties until
expiration of the underlying patents (2013 for U.S. Patent No. 5,578,610 and
2015 for U.S. Patent No. 5,750,703) unless the patents are earlier determined to
be invalid.




On
November 18, 2008, the Company, its former subsidiary AMR Technology, Aventis
Pharmaceuticals, sanofi-aventis, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Barr Laboratories
reached a settlement regarding the above-described patent infringement
litigations relating to Teva Pharmaceuticals and Barr
Laboratories.  As part of the settlement, the Company entered into an
amendment to its licensing agreement with sanofi-aventis to allow sanofi-aventis
to sublicense patents related to ALLEGRA®and
ALLEGRA®D-12 to
Teva Pharmaceuticals and Barr Laboratories in the United
States.  Subsequently, Teva Pharmaceuticals acquired Barr
Laboratories.  The Company received an upfront sublicense fee from
sanofi-aventis of $10 million, and sanofi-aventis will pay royalties to the
Company on the sale of products in the United States containing fexofenadine
hydrochloride (the generic name for the active ingredient in ALLEGRA®) and
products containing fexofenadine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride
(generic ALLEGRA®D-12) by
Teva Pharmaceuticals through 2015, along with additional
consideration.  As provided in the settlement, Teva Pharmaceuticals
launched a generic version of Allegra D-12 in November 2009.  The
Company will receive quarterly royalties through July 2010 for the branded
Allegra D-12 equal to the royalties paid for the quarter ended June 30,
2009.  Thereafter, the royalty rate will revert to the rate in effect
prior to the signing of the sub-license amendment and the Company will also
receive a royalty on Teva’s sales of the generic D-12.  The Company
and Aventis Pharmaceuticals have also dismissed their claims against Ranbaxy
Laboratories Ltd./Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Sandoz, Inc. without
prejudice.  The Company has also dismissed its claims against DiPharma
S.P.A. and DiPharma s.r.l. in Canada without prejudice.




On March
19, 2010, the Company and sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC filed a motion for a
preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. and Dr.
Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. from commercial distribution of a D-24
product.   On June 14, 2010, the Company and sanofi-aventis U.S.
LLC were granted a preliminary injunction restraining Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd.
and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. from commercial distribution of a D-24
product.




Under
applicable federal law, marketing of an FDA-approved generic version of Allegra
may not commence until the earlier of a decision favorable to the generic
challenger in the patent litigation or 30 months after the date the patent
infringement lawsuit was filed. In general, the first generic filer is entitled
to a 180-day marketing exclusivity period upon FDA approval.  The
launch of a generic product is considered an “at-risk” launch if the launch
occurs while there is still on-going litigation.  Of the remaining
defendants in the pending litigation, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories and Mylan
Pharmaceuticals have engaged in at-risk launches of generic fexofenadine
single-entity products.




Note
12 — Income Taxes




A tax
position is a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected
to be taken in a future tax filing that is reflected in measuring current or
deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Tax positions are recognized only
when it is more likely than not (likelihood of greater than 50%), based on
technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by
taxing authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold
are measured using a probability-weighted approach as the largest amount of tax
benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon
settlement.





The
reserve balance of $42 at June 30, 2010 represents the amount of unrecognized
tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate
for future periods.





The
Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits as a component of income tax expense.  As of June 30, 2010,
the Company has not accrued any penalties related to its uncertain tax position
as it believes that it is more likely than not that there will not be any
assessment of penalties.  The total amount of accrued interest
resulting from such unrecognized tax benefits was $2 at June 30, 2010, none of
which was recognized in 2010.




17




The
Company files Federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state and foreign
jurisdiction tax returns. The Company’s Federal income tax returns have been
examined by the Internal Revenue Service through the year ended December 31,
2007.  All significant state and foreign matters have been concluded for
years through 2005. State tax examinations that commenced during 2009 are in
process.  Management of the Company believes that the reserves
associated with these tax positions are adequate to support any future tax
examinations.




The
Company intends to reinvest indefinitely any of its unrepatriated foreign
earnings. The Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes on these
undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries because management considers
such earnings to be reinvested indefinitely outside of the U.S. If the
earnings were distributed, the Company may be subject to both foreign
withholding taxes and U.S. income taxes that may not be fully offset by
foreign tax credits.




Note
13 – Fair Value




The
Company uses a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles and making disclosures about fair value
measurements.  A three-tiered fair value hierarchy has been
established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair
value.





These
tiers include:


Level 1 –
defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical
instruments;


Level 2 –
defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either
directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3 – defined as unobservable inputs
in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to
develop its own assumptions.




The
following table presents the fair value of marketable securities by type and
their determined level based on the three-tiered fair value hierarchy as of June
30, 2010:

The
Company’s marketable securities are fixed maturity securities and are valued
using pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions, cash flow
models with yield curves, broker/dealer quotes and other pricing models
utilizing observable inputs. The valuation for the Company’s fixed maturity
securities is classified as Level 2.





The
Company determines its fair value of financial instruments using the following
methods and assumptions:





Cash and cash equivalents,
receivables, and accounts payable:The carrying amounts
reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value because
of the short maturities of these instruments.




Investment securities: Investment securities’ fair
values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
instruments.  When necessary, the Company utilizes matrix pricing from
a third party pricing vendor to determine fair value pricing.  Matrix
prices are based on quoted prices for securities with similar coupons, ratings,
and maturities, rather than on specific bids and offers for the designated
security.




Long-term debt:The carrying value of
long-term debt was approximately equal to fair value at June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009 due to the resetting dates of the variable interest
rates.





18




Nonrecurring
Measurements:




Long-lived
assets held and used with a carrying amount of $4,518 were written down to their
fair values of $2,212, resulting in an impairment charge of
$2,306.   Additionally, long-lived assets with a carrying amount
of $2,542 were impaired as a result of the restructuring and written down to
$0.  These charges were included in the Company’s financial results
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  The fair market
values of these long-lived assets were determined using significant unobservable
inputs (level 3) consisting of cash flow analysis over the expected period of
use of the asset group.  Key inputs related to the estimated cash
inflows utilized were the expected number of customer projects performed and
revenue earned per project.  Key inputs related to estimated cash
outflows utilized costs required to support the estimated volume of customer
projects, inclusing scientific personnel costs, materials, facility costs, and
selling and administrative support costs.





Note
14 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements




In April
2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, “Milestone Method”, which provides guidance
on applying the milestone method to milestone payments for achieving specified
performance measures when those payments are related to uncertain future
events.  The scope of this ASU is limited to transactions involving
research or development in the milestone payment is to be recognized in its
entirety in the period the milestone is achieved.  ASU 2010-17 will be
effective prospectively for milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or
after June 15, 2010.  The FASB permits early adoption of ASU 2010-17,
applied retrospectively, to the beginning of the year of
adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its
financial statements.





In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements”, which addresses how revenues should be allocated among all
products and services included in certain sales arrangements. It establishes a
selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of each product or
service, with vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) at the highest level,
third-party evidence of VSOE at the intermediate level, and a best estimate at
the lowest level. It replaces “fair value” with “selling price” in revenue
allocation guidance. It also significantly expands the disclosure requirements
for such arrangements. ASU 2009-13 will be effective prospectively for sales
entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June
15, 2010.  The FASB permits early adoption of ASU 2009-13, applied
retrospectively, to the beginning of the year of adoption.  The
Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial
statements.

Strategy
and Overview




We
provide contract services to many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies. We derive our contract revenue from research and
development expenditures and commercial manufacturing demands of the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.  We continue to execute our
long-term strategy to develop and grow an integrated global platform from which
we can provide these services.  We have research and/or manufacturing
facilities in the United States, Hungary, Singapore, India and the United
Kingdom.  In 2008, we purchased an additional large-scale
manufacturing site in India and completed a 10,000 square foot expansion of our
Singapore Research Center.  In 2009, we completed the expansion of our
Bothell, Washington and Budapest, Hungary facilities.  In February
2010, we acquired Excelsyn Ltd. (“Excelsyn”), which we believe is a well
recognized leader in providing chemical development and manufacturing services
to the pharmaceutical industry in Europe.  In June 2010, we acquired
Hyaluron, a formulation company whose capabilities include cGMP manufacturing
and sterile filling of parenteral drugs.  Hyaluron provides high
value-added contract manufacturing services in sterile syringe and vial filling
using specialized technologies.  Hyaluron provides these services for
both small molecule drug products and biologicals, from clinical phase to
commercial scale.





We
continue to integrate our research and manufacturing facilities worldwide,
increasing our access to key global markets and enabling us to provide our
customers with a flexible combination of high quality services and competitive
cost structures to meet their individual outsourcing needs.  We seek
comprehensive research and/or supply agreements with our customers,
incorporating several of our service offerings and spanning across the entire
pharmaceutical research and development process.  Our research facilities
provide discovery, chemical development, analytical, and small-scale current
Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) manufacturing services.  Compounds
discovered and/or developed in our research facilities can then be more easily
transitioned to production at our large-scale manufacturing facilities for use
in clinical trials and, ultimately, commercial sales if the product meets
regulatory approval.  Additionally, the acquisition of Hyaluron provides
our Company with immediate entry into a new and strategically important product
offering.  We can now offer customers a fully integrated manufacturing
process for sterile injectable drugs including the development and manufacture
of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”), the design of the criteria to
formulate the API into an injectable drug product, and the manufacture of the
final drug product.




We
believe that the ability to partner with a single provider of pharmaceutical
research and development services from discovery through commercial production
is of significant benefit to our customers.  Through our comprehensive
service offerings, we are able to provide customers with a more efficient
transition of experimental compounds through the research and development
process, ultimately reducing the time and cost involved in bringing these
compounds from concept to market.

Our
global platform has increased our market penetration and was developed in order
to allow us to maintain and grow margins.  In addition to our
globalization, we continue to implement process efficiencies, including our
continued efforts of process improvement and cost savings measures, along with
efforts to strengthen our sourcing.  We believe these factors will
lead to improved margins.




We
conduct proprietary research and development to discover new therapeutically
active lead compounds with commercial potential. We anticipate that we would
then license these compounds and underlying technology to third parties in
return for up-front and service fees and milestone payments, as well as
recurring royalty payments if these compounds are developed into new commercial
drugs.




Our total
revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $49.5 million, as compared to
$51.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.




Contract
services revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $40.7 million, compared to
$38.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Recurring royalty
revenues, which are based on the worldwide sales of fexofenadine HCl, marketed
as Allegra in the Americas and Telfast elsewhere, as well as on sales of
sanofi-aventis’ authorized generics and estimates of sales of Teva’s authorized
generics, were higher in the second quarter of 2010 than in the same period of
2009.  Consolidated gross margin was 15.3% for the quarter ended June
30, 2010 as compared to 5.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.




During
the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash provided by operations was $0.9
million.  The decrease of $23.9 million in cash flow from operations
from the six months ended June 30, 2009 resulted primarily from an increase in
the first quarter of 2009 of deferred revenue due to the receipt of the $10.0
million sub-licensing fee from sanofi-aventis in conjunction with the amended
licensing agreement, along with an increase in accounts receivable and inventory
in 2010, as well as lower net income in 2010.  We spent $18.5 million
on the acquisition of Excelsyn, $27.1 million on the acquisition of Hyaluron,
net of cash acquired and $5.3 million in capital expenditures, primarily related
to modernization of our lab and production equipment.  As of June 30,
2010, we had $60.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments and
$13.2 million in bank and other related debt.

DDS
contract revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, increased $0.1 million to
$19.7 million from the same period in 2009.  This increase is due
primarily to an increase in contract revenue from development and small-scale
manufacturing services of $0.1 million.  DDS contract revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $1.4 million to $40.7 million from the
same period in 2009.  This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in
contract revenue from development and small-scale manufacturing services of $2.2
million caused by lower demand from specialty pharma/biotech customers for our
U.S. services, offset in part by higher demand for these services at our
international locations, as well as competitive pricing in the overall current
economic downturn.  These decreases were offset, in part, by an
increase in contract revenue of $0.7 million from discovery services due to an
increase in demand for our international discovery services.





We
currently expect DDS contract revenue for the second half of 2010 to have
limited growth over amounts recognized in the first half of 2010 primarily due
to an increase in demand for our international discovery and development
services, offset in part by lower U.S. revenue.


21





LSM
revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased $1.9 million from the same
period in 2009 primarily due to  incremental revenues from the
Excelsyn and Hyaluron acquisitions during the first half of 2010.  LSM
contract revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $1.0 million
to $38.9 million from the same period in 2009.  This decrease is
primarily a result of a decrease of $5.3 million which was driven by the reduced
demand for the production of clinical supply material.  This decrease
was offset, in part, by incremental revenues from the acquisitions as well as an
increase in the sales of commercial products of $1.3 million, primarily due to
an increase in commercial sales to GE Healthcare (“GE”), LSM’s largest customer,
as they return toward historical levels after reducing their purchases from us
in 2009 in an effort to reduce their inventory levels.




We expect
LSM contract revenue for the second half of 2010 to significantly increase over
amounts recognized during the first half of 2010, primarily due to revenues from
the Excelsyn and Hyaluron acquisitions, which occurred during the first half of
2010, along with increases in commercial sales at our U.S.
location.




Recurring
royalty revenue




We earn
royalties under our licensing agreement with sanofi-aventis S.A. for the active
ingredient in Allegra.  Royalties were as follows:

                                19,310




Recurring
royalties, which are based on the worldwide sales of Allegra®/Telfast, as well
as on sales of sanofi-aventis’ authorized generics, increased $0.2 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  Recurring royalties decreased $0.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from the same period in 2009
primarily due to decrease in sales of Allegra® in Japan during the first quarter
of 2010.




The
recurring royalties we receive on the sales of Allegra®/Telfast have
historically provided a material portion of our revenues, earnings and operating
cash flows.  Teva Pharmaceuticals launched a generic version of
Allegra D-12® in November 2009.  As part of our amended licensing
agreement with sanofi-aventis, we will receive quarterly royalties through July
2010 for the branded Allegra D-12® equal to the royalties paid for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009.  Thereafter, the royalty rate will revert to the
rate in effect prior to the signing of the sub-license amendment and we will
also receive a royalty on Teva Pharmaceuticals’ sales of generic Allegra
D-12®.





We
continue to develop our business in an effort to supplement the revenues,
earnings and operating cash flows that have historically been provided by
Allegra®/Telfast royalties.  We forcefully and vigorously defend our
intellectual property related to Allegra®, and we continue to pursue our
intellectual property rights as patent infringement litigation
progresses.




Costs

DDS had a
contract revenue gross margin of 11.1% and 12.9% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to contract revenue gross margin
of 13.3% and 16.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively.  These decreases in gross margin resulted from lower
U.S. demand for these services in relation to our fixed costs.


22




We
currently expect DDS contract margins for the second half of 2010 to increase
over percentages recognized in the first half of 2010 primarily due to cost
savings associated with the May 2010 restructuring, along with modest revenue
growth.




LSM’s
contract revenue gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
was 19.1% and 13.1%, respectively, as compared to contract revenue gross margin
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of (2.7)% and 4.9%,
respectively.  These increases are primarily due to a decrease in
capacity charges as a result of improved facility utilization, as well as an
increase in commercial sales which have historically generated higher
margins.





We expect
gross margins in the LSM segment for the second half of 2010 to remain
consistent with percentages recognized for the first half of 2010.





Technology
incentive award




We
maintain a Technology Development Incentive Plan, the purpose of which is to
stimulate and encourage novel innovative technology developments by our
employees.  This plan allows eligible participants to share in a
percentage of the net revenue earned by us relating to patented technology with
respect to which the eligible participant is named as an inventor or made a
significant intellectual contribution. To date, the royalties from Allegra are
the main driver of the awards.  Accordingly, as the creator of the
technology, the award is currently payable primarily to Dr. Thomas D’Ambra,
our Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. The incentive awards
were as follows:

The
decrease in technology incentive award expense for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010 from the same period in 2009 is primarily due to Allegra
royalty revenue, as well as an award in the second quarter of 2009 in connection
with milestone revenue recognized.  We expect technology incentive
award expense to generally fluctuate directionally and proportionately with
fluctuations in Allegra royalties in future periods.




Research
and development




Research
and development (“R&D”) expense consists of compensation and benefits for
scientific personnel for work performed on proprietary technology R&D
projects, costs of chemicals and other out of pocket costs and overhead costs.
We utilize our expertise in integrated drug discovery to perform our internal
R&D projects. The goal of these programs is to discover new compounds with
commercial potential. We would then seek to license these compounds to a third
party in return for a combination of up-front license fees, milestone payments
and recurring royalty payments if these compounds are successfully developed
into new drugs and reach the market. In addition, R&D is performed at our
large-scale manufacturing facility related to the potential manufacture of new
products, the development of processes for the manufacture of generic products
with commercial potential, and the development of alternative manufacturing
processes.  Research and development expenses were as
follows:

R&D
expense decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $2.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from the same periods in
2009.  This decrease is primarily due to lower compensation costs in
2010 caused by a reduction of research and development scientific resources and
lower material costs, as we manage our costs by focusing on moving only our most
advance programs forward.  Additionally, in 2009 we recognized an
increase in process R&D related to both improving the manufacturing process
for our generic API products as well as the manufacturing process for our
oncology compound, which was in Phase I clinical trials.




23




We
currently expect research and development expenses for the full year of 2010 to
decrease from amounts recognized in 2009, as we manage overall R&D
expenditures to move our most advanced programs forward.




Projecting
completion dates and anticipated revenue from our internal research programs is
not practical at this time due to the early stages of the projects and the
inherent risks related to the development of new drugs. Our proprietary amine
neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor program, which was our most advanced project
at that time, was licensed to BMS in October 2005 in exchange for up-front
license fees, contracted research services, and the rights to future milestone
and royalty payments.  We also continue to utilize our proprietary
technologies to further advance other early to middle-stage internal research
programs in the fields of oncology, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity and CNS,
with a view to seeking a licensing partner for these programs at an appropriate
research or developmental stage.




We budget
and monitor our R&D costs by type or category, rather than by project on a
comprehensive or fully allocated basis. In addition, our R&D expenses are
not tracked by project as they benefit multiple projects or our overall
technology platform. Consequently, fully loaded R&D cost summaries by
project are not available.




Restructuring
and Impairment Charges




AMRI
U.S.





In May
2010, we initiated a restructuring of our AMRI U.S. location.  As part
of our strategy to increase global competitiveness and continue to be diligent
in managing costs, we implemented significant cost reduction activities at our
operations in the U.S.  These cost reduction activities included a
reduction in the U.S. workforce, as well as the suspension of operations at one
of our research laboratory facilities in Rensselaer, New
York.  Employees and equipment from this facility will be consolidated
into our other nearby locations.





In
conjunction with the restructuring, we realigned the nature of our operating
activities in a nearby research laboratory facility.  As a result, we
evaluated the future economic benefit expected to be generated from the revised
operating activities in this facility against the carrying value of the
facility’s property and equipment and determined that these assets were
impaired.  We recorded a property and equipment impairment charge of
$2.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 to reduce the carrying value the
assets to their estimated fair market value.





Additionally,
we recorded a restructuring charge, including associated asset impairment
charges caused as a consequence of restructuring, of $5.8 million in the second
quarter of 2010.  This charge includes lease termination charges of
$2.2 million, termination benefits and personnel realignment costs of $0.8
million and facility and other costs of $0.3 million.  .  In
addition, asset impairment charges as a consequence of restructuring of $2.5
million were recorded,




The
restructuring costs are included under the caption “Restructuring and impairment
charges” in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 and the restructuring liabilities are included in
“Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and “Accrued long-term restructuring” on
the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010.

AMRI
India




In
December 2009, we initiated a restructuring of our AMRI India locations which
consisted of closing and consolidating our Mumbai administrative office into our
Hyderabad location as part of our goal to streamline operations and eliminate
duplicate administrative functions.  We recorded a restructuring
charge of approximately $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, including
lease termination charges of $0.2 million, leasehold improvement abandonment
charges of $0.1 million and administrative costs of less than $0.1
million.

AMRI
Hungary





In May
2008, we initiated a restructuring of our Hungary location.  The goal
of the restructuring was to realign the business model for these operations to
better support our long-term strategy for providing discovery services in the
European marketplace.  We recorded a restructuring charge of
approximately $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, including termination
benefits and personnel realignment costs of approximately $0.9 million, losses
on grant contracts of approximately $0.4 million, lease termination charges of
approximately $0.5 million and administrative costs associated with the
restructuring plan of less than 0.1 million.





During
August 2009, we closed and consolidated our Balaton, Hungary facility into the
new facility in Budapest, Hungary as part of our goal to streamline operations
and to consolidate locations, equipment and operating costs.  As a
result, we recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $0.3 million in the
second quarter of 2009, including termination benefits and personnel realignment
costs of approximately $0.1 million, lease termination charges of $0.2 million
and administrative costs associated with the restructuring plan of les than $0.1

Termination
benefits and personnel realignment costs relate to severance packages,
outplacement services, and career counseling for employees affected by this
restructuring.  Losses on grant contracts represent estimated
contractual losses that will be incurred in performing grant-based work under
Hungary’s legacy business model.  Lease termination charges relate to
costs associated with exiting the current facility.





Anticipated
cash outflows related to the Hungary restructuring for the remainder of 2010 is
approximately $0.2 million, which primarily consists of the termination benefits
and incurring losses on grant contracts.




Selling,

Selling,
general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist of compensation and
related fringe benefits for marketing, operational and administrative employees,
professional service fees, marketing costs and costs related to facilities and
information services.  SG&A expenses were as follows:

SG&A
expenses increased $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in
2009.  These increases are due primarily to transaction costs
associated with the Excelsyn and Hyaluron acquisitions of $0.9 million in the
first quarter of 2010 and $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2010, as well as
incremental SG&A costs from these new operations.  These increases
were partially offset by cost savings from reorganization of our U.S. location
in May 2010 and our large-scale India operations in December 2009.




SG&A
expenses for the full year 2010 are expected to remain consistent with amounts
recognized in 2009 primarily due to the addition of incremental Hyaluron and
Excelsyn SG&A expenses, along with the one time transaction costs associated
with the purchase.  These increases will be offset by cost savings
associated with the restructurings.

Income
tax benefit increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, due
primarily to the decrease in pre-tax income as compared to amounts in 2009 along
with changes in the composition of taxable income in relation to the applicable
tax rates at our various international locations in 2010.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources




We have
historically funded our business through operating cash flows, proceeds from
borrowings and the issuance of equity securities. During the first six months of
2010, we generated cash of $0.9 million in operating activities.




During
the first six months of 2010, we used $42.4 million in investing activities,
resulting primarily from the use of $18.5 million for the acquisition of
Excelsyn in February 2010 and $27.1 million for the acquisition of Hyaluron, net
of cash acquired in June 2010, along with $5.3 million for the acquisition of
property and equipment.  These uses of cash were offset, in part, by
the proceeds from sales of securities of $8.6 million.




Working
capital was $104.3 million at June 30, 2010 as compared to $149.7 million as of
December 31, 2009.  This decrease is primarily the result of the
use of cash and cash equivalents on our acquisition of Excelsyn and
Hyaluron.  There have been no significant changes in future maturities
on our long-term debt since December 31, 2009.




We
currently have a revolving line of credit in the amount of $45.0 million which
has a maturity date in June 2013.  The line of credit bears interest
at a variable rate based on our Company’s leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2010,
the balance outstanding on the line of credit was $9.7 million, bearing interest
at a rate of 1.44%.  The credit facility contains certain financial
covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum required operating cash
flow coverage ratio, a minimum earnings before interest and taxes to interest
ratio and a minimum current ratio.  Other covenants include limits on
asset disposals and the payment of dividends.  As of June 30, 2010 and
2009, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the credit
facility.




The
disclosure of payments we have committed to make under our contractual
obligations is set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital
Resources” under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009.  There have been no material changes to
our contractual obligations since December 31, 2009.  As of June
30, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)
of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-K.




We
continue to pursue the expansion of our operations through internal growth and
strategic acquisitions.  In February 2010, we acquired Excelsyn Ltd. a
chemical development and large scale manufacturing services company in North
Wales, UK.  Under the terms of the agreement, AMRI has purchased all
of the outstanding shares of Excelsyn for $18.5 million in
cash.  Additionally, in June 2010, we acquired Hyaluron Inc., a
formulation company located in Burlington, Massachusetts.  Under the
terms of the agreement, AMRI has purchased all of the outstanding shares of
Hyaluron for $27.9 million in cash.  Both 2010 acquisitions were
funded from existing cash and cash equivalents.  We expect that
additional expansion activities will be funded from existing cash and cash
equivalents, cash flow from operations and/or the issuance of debt or equity
securities and borrowings.  Future acquisitions, if any, could be
funded with cash on hand, cash from operations, borrowings under our credit
facility and/or the issuance of equity or debt securities.  There can
be no assurance that attractive acquisition opportunities will be available to
us or will be available at prices and upon such other terms that are attractive
to us.  We regularly evaluate potential acquisitions of other
businesses, products and product lines and may hold discussions regarding such
potential acquisitions.  As a general rule, we will publicly announce
such acquisitions only after a definitive agreement has been
signed.  In addition, in order to meet our long-term liquidity needs
or consummate future acquisitions, we may incur additional indebtedness or issue
additional equity or debt securities, subject to market and other
conditions.  There can be no assurance that such additional financing
will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.  The failure to
raise the funds necessary to finance our future cash requirements or consummate
future acquisitions could adversely affect our ability to pursue our strategy
and could negatively affect our operations in future periods.




Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates




Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation
of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to
inventories, goodwill, long-lived assets, pension and postretirement benefit
plans, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.




We refer
to the policies and estimates set forth in the section “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical
Accounting Estimates” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2009.  There have been no material changes or
modifications to the policies since December 31, 2009.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk




There
have been no material changes with respect to the information on Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk appearing in Part II,
Item 7A to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2009.




Item 4.
Controls and Procedures




Disclosure
Controls and Procedures




As
required by rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the Company’s last fiscal quarter our
management conducted an evaluation with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer regarding the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure
controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and our management was required to
apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and
procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the Company’s last
fiscal quarter, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in that
they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We intend to review and document
our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and
procedures for financial reporting, on an ongoing basis, and may from time to
time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our
