PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Overview

Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (the “Company,” “AMRI”, “we,” “us,” and “our”), a Delaware corporation incorporated on June 20, 1991, is a global contract research and manufacturing organization providing customers fully integrated drug discovery, development, and manufacturing services. AMRI supplies a broad range of services and technologies that support the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products and the manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“API”) and drug product for existing and experimental new drugs. With locations in the United States, Europe, and Asia, AMRI maintains geographic proximity and flexible cost models. AMRI has also historically leveraged its drug-discovery expertise to execute on several internal drug discovery programs, which have progressed to the development candidate stage and in some cases into Phase I clinical development. AMRI has successfully partnered certain programs and is actively seeking to out-license its remaining programs to strategic partners for further development.

Industry Overview and Trends

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are under increasing pressure to deliver new drugs to market, lower the current high cost of new drug research and development and reduce the time required for drug development. This pressure has come about, in part, as a result of the significant number of current drug products on the market for which patent protection has or will soon expire, as well as a reported drop in productivity from pharmaceutical companies’ internal research pipelines. In addition, Federal government healthcare legislation is expected to put more pressure on pricing for new drugs. Large pharmaceutical companies are facing increased pressures to reduce their fixed cost base and turn to more flexible cost models to address these cost/pricing implications.

In order to respond to these pressures, many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have augmented their internal research and development capacity through outsourcing. However, in recent years, many companies reduced their internal R&D projects due to the current economic volatility. In particular, small biotech and pharmaceutical companies have experienced decreases in cash due to tightening of credit policies by banks and other sources of capital.

For a majority of large pharmaceutical companies, 2011 was a year of refocusing their R&D strategy which resulted in large cuts of staff, resources and facilities. While these efforts have been ongoing, spending on R&D, once the growth engine of discovery contract research organizations (“CRO’s”) like AMRI, experienced a period of hiatus within these large pharmaceutical customers. Additionally, market forces continued to adversely affect the small startup and biotech companies that have been anchors for the growth of AMRI’s discovery, development and small scale manufacturing business. Venture funding for new compounds and startups have not recovered to the pre-financial crisis levels, and the same factors affecting pharmaceutical companies’ internal R&D consolidations also led to a weak licensing environment for products coming out of the small and emerging pharmaceutical and biotech companies. As a result, total funding for early stage companies and programs remained down, leading to softer demand for discovery and development services. We believe this was in part a factor in the declining growth of AMRI’s early development and small scale business in 2011. At the same time, these companies focused on their later stage pipelines, which was the primary reason for our U.S. large-scale manufacturing plant having a record year for revenue during 2011. We see strong demand continuing for this same reason in 2012. In addition, several active ingredients that we are making in our Rensselaer, NY facility are awaiting commercial approval in 2012. We are optimistic that commercial approval of these and other active ingredients we already manufacture will lead to a period of stability and continuing growth for our large scale manufacturing business.

1

As the industry emerges from this economic downturn, we believe that market pressures will exert an increasing trend toward outsourcing, primarily by large pharmaceutical companies as they seek to reduce their internal R&D resources in favor of a variable cost model that offers lower cost, high quality alternatives to meet their drug discovery and development needs. We believe that announcements coming from several big pharmaceutical companies regarding their reorganization plans and strategy changes point to outsourcing as an increasingly important and strategic part of future R&D efforts as a way to boost productivity and efficiency, and better align cost structure of their R&D organizations.

In addition, we have recently observed an increased involvement by government research entities and non-profit organizations in undertaking drug discovery and development efforts. We believe that due to the lack of internal resources within these groups, outsourcing will be a key strategy in achieving their drug discovery and development objectives.

A new development in the industry is an increasing interest in insourcing models, whereby contract research organizations embed their employees in a client facility. The staff are managed by the contractor but the physical infrastructure is provided by the client; there are indications that this approach will become more widely adopted as pharmaceutical companies recognize the ability to cost-effectively leverage their unused laboratory space.

Business Strategy

AMRI is uniquely positioned in the marketplace to provide a competitive advantage to a diverse group of customers. Our reputation of providing the highest quality service on a global basis with a variety of pricing options provides companies with the security of sourcing discovery, development, small and large scale manufacturing projects throughout our global network of research and manufacturing facilities. We believe we have a unique portfolio of service offerings ranging from early stage discovery through manufacturing and formulation across U.S., Europe and Asia. We believe this product and geographic mix will allow us to increase multi-year strategic relationships and enhance our revenue growth with a variety of customers. With the market of competitors being highly fragmented, we have strategically focused our efforts to strengthen our global service offerings with the intent to improve profitability of these offerings and to drive the Company to be profitable independent of royalties from the sales of Allegra. Our strategy to accomplish this includes the following:

• Enhance revenue growth and mix

As market trends point to outsourcing as an increasingly important and strategic part of large pharmaceutical R&D efforts, we believe our ability to offer a hybrid services model, which allows customers to use a combination of our U.S. and international locations, will result in an increase in demand for our services. With our world class expertise in managing high performing groups of scientists, we now offer our customers the option of insourcing, which embeds scientists into the customer’s facility allowing them to cost-effectively leverage their unused laboratory space. We recently signed a large insourcing collaboration agreement for chemistry services.

We are also continuing to focus our efforts on our other important customer segments, small and large biotech companies and non-profit/government entities. We believe that a drive toward equal weighting of our customer portfolio between large pharmaceutical, non-profit/government and biotech companies will spread out customer concentration and reduce risk. During 2011, we received a government contract award from National Institute of Health (“NIH”) to develop pre-clinical drug candidates for diseases of the nervous system and we continue to pursue other contracts of this type.

We continue to make investments to build and recover our formulation business at our Burlington, MA facility. We believe this type of business has significant potential in the drug product world driven by the growth in biologically based compounds which are formulated/manufactured on an aseptic basis. As a result of our investments, there are no current restrictions on the manufacture of clinical or commercial products at this facility.

• Streamline operations to improve margins

The cost bases of our manufacturing and research facilities are largely fixed in nature, however, we continue to seek savings opportunities to minimize this base of fixed costs, with a focus on improving efficiency, cost structure and margin.

During 2011, we announced actions to reduce the Company’s workforce, right size capacity and reduce operating costs in 2012. The actions were taken to better align the business to current and expected market conditions. We remain committed to taking the necessary actions to reduce the Company’s operating expenses to focus on our core contract research and manufacturing business, and most importantly, to achieve profitability. Although our outlook for growth in outsourced contract services by our customers remains positive, as evidenced by our recent strategic deals, we continue to evaluate our global infrastructure and customer trends for additional opportunities to streamline operations.

Due to shifting market preferences related to the preferred co-localization of integrated drug discovery activities, demand for our services at our Hungary facility has decreased. In response, we are in the process of restructuring our European operations focused on a reduction of the workforce and as a result, we anticipate closing or selling our operation in Hungary and transitioning many of the customers and services for this location into our other global locations. We believe this consolidation will improve customer relationships and AMRI’s operating leverage.

• Maximize licensing/partnering of proprietary compounds to enhance future cash flow

In 2011 we made a decision to cease activities related to our internal proprietary compound discovery R&D programs. Although we halted our proprietary R&D activities, we continue to believe there are additional opportunities to partner our proprietary compounds or programs to create value, as we have seen a renewed commitment by pharmaceutical companies for innovation both internally and through licensing. Our goal is to partner these programs in return for a combination of up-front license fees, milestone payments and recurring royalty payments if compounds resulting from our intellectual property are successfully developed into new drugs and reach the market.

We are hopeful that one or more of our compounds or programs can reach the same success as our Bristol-Myers Squibb partnership which delivered an additional $3.0 million milestone payment in 2011 and $32.8 million of total revenue since the signing of this agreement in late 2005.

Small Molecule Drug Discovery, Development and Manufacturing Process

Although many scientific disciplines are required for new drug discovery and development, chemistry and biology are core technologies. Chemists and biologists typically work together to develop laboratory models of disease, screen small molecule compounds to identify those that demonstrate desired activity and finally create a marketable drug.

The drug discovery and development process includes the following steps:

Drug Discovery

• Lead Discovery.  The first major hurdle in drug discovery is the identification of one or more lead compounds that interact with a biological target, such as an enzyme, receptor or other protein that may be associated with a disease. A biological test, or assay, based on the target is developed and used to test or “screen” chemical compounds. The objective of lead discovery is to identify a lead compound or screening ‘hit’. Validation of a screening hit is performed under the scrutiny of the discovery biologists and medicinal chemists in order to identify the ‘hits’ with the best chance to obtain a drug-like chemical series or lead compound. Early in vitro profiling for metabolic stability, potential unwanted drug-drug interactions and indications of toxic liability are also conducted. The objective of lead discovery is to identify a lead compound that has many of the properties needed in the eventual drug and a good prognosis for further optimization in order to produce a robust clinical development candidate.

3

• Lead Optimization.  Lead optimization typically involves improving the potency, selectivity, absorption/metabolism and pharmacokinetics of the lead compound, while maintaining, or generating, patentable intellectual property. Optimized lead compounds must demonstrate a scientifically proven benefit in controlled and well-defined biological tests and must exhibit this benefit at doses much lower than those at which side effects would occur. During the lead optimization and preclinical testing phases, scientists continue the synthesis of additional analogs of the lead compound using medicinal chemistry. The compounds are tested in similar biochemical assays as those used during lead discovery but additional profiling of mechanism of action and more sophisticated analysis of metabolic and safety parameters are also introduced. Often a second compound, referred to as a backup compound or second generation analog, is synthesized and enters the drug development cycle. In addition, continued synthesis and testing is desirable in order to prepare compounds of significant diversity to broaden potential patent coverage. As a result, the advancement of a lead compound into preclinical testing is often a catalyst which increases, rather than decreases, the need for additional drug discovery services. During lead optimization most compounds are prepared in milligram to gram quantities.

Drug Development

• Preclinical Testing.  Following the advancement of a lead compound to a development candidate, advanced preclinical testing is conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the development candidate prior to initiating human clinical trials. During this phase, specialists in chemical development work to identify the preferred route to prepare the drug substance. In addition, efforts are required to determine the best physical form of the compound, selecting appropriate salts and controlling polymorphic form and to begin to improve the process for preparing the candidate in larger quantities, often hundreds of grams. Working with analytical chemists, the development chemists will prepare material of sufficient quality and quantity to be used in IND-enabling toxicity studies. In the United States, prior to continuing on to the human clinical trials stage, an Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) must be filed with the FDA. Once the application is filed, the applicant must wait 30 days for comments from the FDA. If none are received, human clinical trials may commence.

• Clinical Trials.  During clinical trials, several phases of studies are conducted to test the safety and efficacy of a drug candidate in humans. The human clinical trials phase is usually costly and time-consuming. As study populations increase and trial durations lengthen, larger quantities of the active ingredient are required. Clinical trials are normally done in three phases prior to submission for regulatory approval and overall generally take at least seven years to complete. During these phases, development work continues in order to provide suitable formulations for clinical testing and for the ultimate commercial product. The API and the formulated drug product must be prepared under cGMP guidelines. Formulations are selected that maximize bioavailability and optimize dosing regimen. Analytical chemistry services are critical to cGMP manufacturing. Additional preparations provide an opportunity to further refine the manufacturing process for the active ingredient, with the ultimate goal of maximizing the cost effectiveness and safety of the synthesis prior to commercialization.

• Product Commercialization.  Before approving a drug, the FDA requires that manufacturing procedures and operations conform to cGMP guidelines, International Conference on Harmonization guidance and manufacturing guidelines and guidance published by the FDA. Manufacturing procedures and operations must be in compliance with all regulatory and quality regulations at all times during the manufacture of commercial products and APIs. Once a drug has received all necessary approvals, the manufacture, marketing and sale of commercial quantities of the approved drug may commence.

Service Offerings

Drug Discovery Services

The competitive drug discovery industry continues to face many challenges, including a weakening product pipeline, increasing costs, more complex disease targets and regulatory hurdles. These challenges have compelled many companies/research organizations to look outside their own R&D function for contract partners to support research and development from the earliest stages of the drug discovery process.

AMRI performs integrated drug discovery programs, harnessing the capabilities and expertise of specialist teams of scientists from individual disciplines under the coordination of experienced project leaders and key employees with decades of experience. All of the capabilities described below are also offered individually to support customers who have their own capacity in certain areas.

Proprietary Research and Development

Leveraging our wide array of drug discovery capabilities, we established several internal drug discovery programs with the goal to discover and develop promising drug candidates and license these candidates in return for upfront fees, milestones and downstream royalty payments for commercialized drug products. We identified lead series by utilizing our high throughput screening capabilities, coupled with our computer assisted drug design capabilities, to assess our diverse range of synthetic, virtual and natural product screening libraries. Applying the expertise of our separate R&D medicinal chemistry group, supported by our own in vitro biology and in vitro metabolism capabilities and a select range of in vivo service providers, we optimized these lead series to development candidate status, in some cases pursuing these into early clinical studies.

Our proprietary research and development efforts to date have contributed to the discovery and development of one product that has reached the market. We discovered a new process to prepare a metabolite known as terfenadine carboxylic acid, or TAM, in a purer form. The purer form of TAM is the active ingredient in the non-sedating antihistamine known as fexofenadine HCl, which is sold by Sanofi under the name Allegra® in the Americas and as Telfast elsewhere. We have been issued several United States and foreign patents relating to TAM and the process chemistry by which TAM is produced. Subject to payment of government annuities and maintenance fees, our issued patents relating to TAM expire between 2013 and 2015.

Recent drug discovery and development projects have been focused on treatments for irritable bowel disease, CNS diseases and obesity. Our R&D efforts benefited from access to a broad array of our scientific services including capabilities in microbial fermentation, molecular biology, cell culture, gene expression and cloning, scale up synthesis of human metabolites, preformulation, chemical development and cGMP synthesis. Additionally, a portion of our R&D efforts focused on improving the manufacturing process for our generic API products. We spent $7.9 million, $11.1 million and $14.5 million on research and development activities in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In late 2011, we announced that we would cease to invest in most of these internal drug discovery efforts but continue to seek partnership or investment for the advanced programs with the goal of returning value to AMRI. We continue to place some R&D focus on improving manufacturing processes.

Licensing Agreements

In January 2011, we entered into a research and licensing agreement with Genentech. Under the terms of the agreement, Genentech will receive an exclusive license to develop and commercialize multiple potential products from our proprietary antibacterial program. Additionally, we will collaborate with Genentech in a research program with the objective of identifying novel antibacterial agents. In addition to an upfront license fee and research funding of $1.5 million, we will be eligible to receive development regulatory milestones and will receive royalties from Genentech on worldwide sales of any resulting commercialized compounds.

In October 2005, we licensed the worldwide rights to develop and commercialize potential products from our amine neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor technology and patents identified in one of our proprietary research programs to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”). In conjunction with the licensing agreement, we received a non-refundable, non-creditable up-front payment of $8.0 million and a total of $10.0 million for research and development services in the first three years of the agreement. The agreement also set forth milestone events that, if achieved by these products, would entitle the Company to non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payments of up to $66.0 million for each of the first and second compounds to achieve these events, and up to $22.0 million for each subsequent product to achieve these events. These milestone events include candidate nomination, IND or equivalent regulatory filings, commencement of middle- and late-stage clinical trials, and regulatory approval of compounds for commercial sale. The agreement also provides for the Company to receive royalty payments on worldwide sales of any such product that is commercialized. From the entry into this agreement through December 31, 2011, we have recorded $14.8 million from achieving certain milestones with BMS.

In March 1995, we entered into a license agreement with Sanofi. Under the terms of the license agreement, we granted Sanofi an exclusive, worldwide license to any patents issued to us related to our original TAM patent applications. From the beginning of the agreement through December 31, 2011, we have had revenues of $7.4 million in milestone payments and approximately $492.9 million in royalties under this license agreement. Sanofi is obligated under the license agreement to pay ongoing royalties to us based upon its sales of Allegra®/Telfast and generic fexofenadine. Additionally during the fourth quarter of 2008, we entered into an amendment to our licensing agreement with Sanofi to allow Sanofi 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. As a result of this amendment, we received an upfront sublicense fee from Sanofi of $10.0 million and additionally we will receive royalties from Sanofi on the sale of products in the United States containing fexofenadine hydrochloride and products containing fexofenadine hydrochloride (generic Allegra®) and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (generic Allegra D-12®) by Teva Pharmaceuticals through 2015, along with additional consideration. We are not entitled, however, to receive any additional milestone payments under the license agreement. Sales of Allegra®/Telfast and generic fexofenadine by Sanofi worldwide were approximately $1.2 billion, $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. See “Item 3 — Legal Proceedings” for discussion of current legal proceedings related to Allegra®/Telfast.

Business Segments

We have organized our activities into two distinct segments: Large Scale Manufacturing (“LSM”) and Discovery, Drug Development and Small Scale Manufacturing (“DDS”). Our LSM activities include pilot to commercial scale production of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates, sterile syringe and vial filling, and high potency and controlled substance manufacturing and our remaining activities, including drug lead discovery, optimization, drug development, and small scale commercial manufacturing represent our DDS business segment. See “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis” and the notes to the consolidated financial statements for financial information on the Company’s business segments.

Customers

Our customers include pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies and a growing segment of our customer base is government research entities and non-profit organizations, and to a limited extent, agricultural companies, fine chemical companies, contract chemical manufacturers, medical device, flavoring and cosmetic companies. For the year ended December 31, 2011, contract revenue from our three largest customers represented 16%, 9% and 8%, respectively, of our contract revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2010, contract revenue from our three largest customers represented 17%, 10% and 7%, respectively, of our contract revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2009, contract revenue from our three largest customers represented 14%, 12% and 8%, respectively, of our contract revenue. In 2011, the company’s largest customer was GE Healthcare. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for information on geographic and other customer concentrations.

Sales and Marketing

Our services are sold primarily by our dedicated sales and business development personnel and senior management. Because our customer contacts are often highly skilled scientists, we believe our use of technical experts in the sales effort has allowed us to establish strong customer relationships. In addition to our internal sales efforts, we also rely on the sales efforts of consultants, both in the United States and abroad. We market our services directly to customers through targeted mailings, meetings with senior management of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, maintenance of an extensive Internet web site, participation in trade conferences and shows, and advertisements in scientific and trade journals. We also receive a significant amount of business from customer referrals and through expansion of existing contracts.

Employees

As of January 31, 2012, we had 1,389 employees. Of these employees, 626 are at our international facilities. Our U.S. large-scale manufacturing hourly work force has 86 employees who are subject to a collective bargaining agreement with the International Chemical Workers Union. A 3-year collective bargaining agreement was signed in January 2011 with the union and expires in January 2014. Additionally, we have 79 union employees at our large-scale manufacturing facility at AMRI India that are covered by two collective bargaining agreements. One agreement expires in April 2012 and the other expires in March 2013. We are currently in the process of initiating negotiations with the bargaining unit for the agreement that expires in April 2012. None of our other employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees and the unions to be good.

Competition

While a small number of larger chemistry outsourcing service providers have emerged as leaders within the industry, the outsourcing market for pharmaceutical and biotechnology contract chemistry and biology services remains fragmented. We face competition based on a number of factors, including size, relative expertise and sophistication, quality and costs of identifying and optimizing potential lead compounds and speed and costs of optimizing chemical processes. In many areas of our business we also face foreign competition from companies in regions with lower cost structures. We compete with contract research companies, contract drug manufacturing companies, research and academic institutions and with the internal research departments of biotechnology companies. We have also historically competed with internal research departments of large pharmaceutical companies, however recently, competition in this area has been reduced as these companies have downsized their internal organizations.

We rely on many internal factors that allow us to stay competitive and differentiate us in the marketplace, including:

• Our globalization of both research and manufacturing facilities allows us to increase our access to key global markets

• Our ability to offer a flexible combination of high quality, cost-effective services

• Our comprehensive service offerings allow us to provide our customers 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

11

Patents and Proprietary Rights

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain and enforce patents, protect trade secrets, obtain licenses to technology owned by third parties when necessary, and conduct our business without infringing the proprietary rights of others. The patent positions of pharmaceutical, medical products and biotechnology firms can be uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We seek patent protection with respect to products and processes developed in the course of our activities when we believe such protection is in our best interest and when the cost of seeking such protection is not inordinate. We cannot be assured that any AMRI patent applications will result in the issuance of patents or, if any patents are issued, whether they will provide significant proprietary protection or commercial advantage, or will not be circumvented by others. In the event a third party has also filed one or more patent applications for inventions which conflict with one of ours, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention, which could result in the loss of any opportunity to secure patent protection for the inventions and the loss of any right to use the inventions. Even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us, these proceedings could result in substantial cost to us. The filing and prosecution of patent applications, litigation to establish the validity and scope of patents, assertion of patent infringement claims against others and the defense of patent infringement claims by others can be expensive and time consuming. We cannot be certain that in the event that any claims with respect to any of our patents, if issued, are challenged by one or more third parties, a court or patent authority ruling on such challenge will determine that such patent claims are valid and enforceable. An adverse outcome in such litigation could cause us to lose exclusivity afforded by the disputed rights. If a third party is found to have rights covering products or processes used by us, we could be forced to cease using the technologies covered by such rights, could be subject to significant liability to the third party, and could be required to license technologies from the third party. Furthermore, even if our patents are determined to be valid, enforceable, and broad in scope, we cannot be certain that competitors will not be able to design around such patents and compete with us and our licensees using the resulting alternative technology.

We have been issued various United States and international patents covering fexofenadine HC1 and certain related manufacturing processes. These United States patents begin to expire in 2013, and the international patents begin to expire in 2014 and most of these patents are covered by our license agreements with Sanofi, described herein. Additionally, our United States patents related to substituted biaryl purines as potent anticancer agents and a series of aryl and heteroaryl tetrahydroisoquinolines related to central nervous system indications begin to expire in 2020.

Many of our current contracts with our customers provide that ownership of proprietary technology developed by us in the course of work performed under the contract is vested in the customer, and we retain little or no ownership interest.

We also rely upon trade secrets and proprietary know-how for certain unpatented aspects of our technology. To protect such information, we require all employees, consultants and licensees to enter into confidentiality agreements limiting the disclosure and use of such information. We cannot provide assurance that these agreements provide meaningful protection or that they will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any such breach, or that our trade secrets, proprietary know-how and technological advances will not otherwise become known to others. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that, despite precautions taken by us, others have not and will not obtain access to our proprietary technology. Further, we cannot be certain that third parties will not independently develop substantially equivalent or better technology.

Government Regulation

The manufacture, transportation and storage of our products are subject to certain international, Federal, state and local laws and regulations. Our future profitability is indirectly dependent on the sales of pharmaceuticals and other products developed by our customers. Regulation by governmental entities in the United States and other countries will be a significant factor in the production and marketing of any pharmaceutical products that may be developed by us or our customers. The nature and the extent to which such regulation may apply to us or our customers will vary depending on the nature of any such pharmaceutical products. Virtually all pharmaceutical products developed by us or our customers will require

12

regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior to commercialization. Human pharmaceutical products are subject to rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and other approval procedures by the FDA and by foreign regulatory authorities. Various federal and, in some cases, state statutes and regulations also govern or influence the manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of such pharmaceutical products. The process of obtaining these approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal and foreign statutes and regulations are time consuming and require the expenditure of substantial resources.

Generally, in order to gain U.S. FDA approval, a company first must conduct preclinical studies in the laboratory and in animal models to gain preliminary information on a compound’s efficacy and to identify any safety problems. The results of these studies are submitted as a part of an IND, that the FDA must review before human clinical trials of an investigational drug can start. In order to commercialize any products, we or our customer will be required to sponsor and file an IND and will be responsible for designing, initiating and overseeing the clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy that are necessary to obtain FDA approval of any such products. Clinical trials are normally done in three phases and generally take two to seven years, but may take longer, to complete. After completion of clinical trials of a new product, FDA and foreign regulatory authority marketing approval must be obtained. If the product is classified as a new drug, we or our customer will be required to file a new drug application, or NDA, and receive approval before commercial marketing of the drug. The testing and approval processes require substantial time, effort and expense, and we cannot be certain that any approval will be granted on a timely basis, if at all. NDAs submitted to the FDA can take several years to obtain approval. Even if FDA regulatory clearances are obtained, a marketed product is subject to continual review. Later discovery of previously unknown problems or failure to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements may result in restrictions on the marketing of a product or withdrawal of the product from the market as well as possible civil or criminal sanctions. For marketing outside the United States, we will also be subject to foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing approval for pharmaceutical products. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country.

All facilities and manufacturing techniques used for prescribed steps in the manufacture of API for clinical use or for sale in the United States must be operated in conformity with cGMP guidelines as established by the FDA and International Conference on Harmonization (“ICH”). Our facilities are subject to unscheduled periodic regulatory inspections to ensure compliance with cGMP regulations. Failure on our part to comply with applicable requirements could result in the termination of ongoing research or the disqualification of data for submission to regulatory authorities. A finding that we had materially violated cGMP requirements could result in additional regulatory sanctions and, in severe cases, could result in a mandated closing of our facilities or significant fines, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. During 2011, an FDA inspection of our cGMP manufacturing facility in Albany was completed, resulting in no issuance of a Form FDA 483.

Our manufacturing facility in the UK was issued a GMP certificate from the MHRA following an inspection in October 2011. The MHRA is the UK regulatory agency and is recognized as one of the leading global authorities on GMP compliance. The certificate covers general GMP manufacturing operations, and laboratory controls designed for the production and release of APIs and intermediates. The successful audit confirms AMRI’s compliance with European Medicines Agency GMP regulations and further demonstrates the Company’s commitment to operational quality. The MHRA inspection follows a U.S. FDA audit of the facility in June 2011, in which no formal observations were issued. The successful completion of both the US FDA and UK MHRA inspections means that AMRI’s UK facility can now produce registered intermediates and active ingredients for use in humans and expands the range of projects that AMRI can now conduct at this facility.

Additionally, our Burlington, MA facility received GMP certification to manufacture investigational medicine products from MHRA in 2010 and in 2011 received GMP certification from the Italian Medicines Agency (“AIFA”) to manufacture commercial injectable products.

On August 18, 2010, we received a warning letter from the FDA which pertained to its inspection of AMRI Burlington in March 2010 and which identified three significant observations. According to the warning letter, these observations may have caused our drug product(s) to be adulterated in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, processing, packing or holding did not conform to, or were not operated or administered in conformity with cGMP. A copy of the warning letter is available on the FDA website at www.fda.gov. We acquired the facility on June 14, 2010. The warning letter did not restrict production or shipment of products from the facility, however we voluntarily suspended cGMP production for a period of time while we undertook remediation steps to address the FDA’s observations. Although we resumed cGMP operations in May 2011, the warning letter, subsequent remediation efforts and suspension of production have had a material adverse effect on our business operations and cash flow.

We have been working to resolve the issues identified in the warning letter. In May, 2011, the Company provided the FDA with its final update pertaining to the warning letter. From June 8, 2011 through June 28, 2011, the FDA conducted a re-inspection of the Company’s Burlington facility. On June 28, 2011, the FDA issued a Form 483 report to the Company which included 7 inspectional observations. The Company provided a response to the FDA’s Form 483 report on July 20, 2011. On September 13, 2011, the Company received a letter from the FDA regarding the Company’s response stating that corrective actions proposed by the Company, once fully implemented, should adequately address the observations made by the FDA investigators. The letter also indicated that the Company’s corrective actions will be verified by the FDA at the next facility inspection. The Company believes that the corrective actions have now been fully implemented. The Company will continue the manufacturing operations currently ongoing at the Burlington site, including GMP operations. There can be no assurance that the FDA will be satisfied with our response or will not identify additional issues on re-inspection. Failure to promptly correct these violations as required by the FDA may result in legal action without further notice including, without limitation, seizure and injunction. Other federal agencies may take the FDA warning letter into account when considering the award of contracts. Additionally, the FDA may withhold approval of requests for export certificate, or approval of pending drug applications listing our Burlington facility until the above violations are corrected. In addition, certain customers who claim to be adversely impacted by the FDA warning letter and our inability to fulfill our contractual commitments may bring legal action against us. Any such actions could significantly disrupt our business and operations and have a material adverse impact on our financial position and operating results.

Our manufacturing and research and development processes involve the controlled use of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials and substances. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of such materials, including radioactive compounds and certain waste products. Additionally, we are subject to various laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices and emissions and wastewater discharges. Although we believe that our activities currently comply with the standards prescribed by such laws and regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be eliminated. In the event of such an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could exceed our resources. In addition, we cannot predict the extent of regulations that might result from any future legislative or administrative actions, therefore we could be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations and these actions could restrict our operations in the future.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following factors should be considered carefully in addition to the other information in this Form 10-K. Except as mentioned under “Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” and except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion contained in this Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this Form 10-K. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere herein.

Failure to manage the business to profitability without Allegra royalties will have a significant impact on operations and stock value.

The recurring royalties we receive on the sales of Allegra/Telfast have historically provided a material portion of our revenue, earnings and operating cash flows. We continue to develop our business and manage our operating costs in order to be in a position to maintain a business that can operate profitably as these royalties begin to diminish in 2014 and 2015. Recurring royalties have a significantly higher gross and operating margin than do our other business activities, resulting in the need to replace a significant amount of margin in order to achieve such profitability. The Company has taken certain cost cutting steps during 2011 and has certain additional steps planned for 2012 in order to right size the business operations to support the profitability that is achievable from our core contract research and manufacturing businesses. In the future, we may need to take additional cost cutting measures if our revenues do not increase or are not profitable enough to support our operations. In addition, if we are not able to increase operating revenue and decrease operating costs in order to replace the Allegra royalty income, there will be a material and adverse impact on our business, including negative impacts on our operating cash flow, access to capital and ability to spend on required capital improvements to our facilities.

Our Burlington, MA facility is subject to an FDA warning letter which has resulted in a significant disruption in our business operations and has had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our business operations and cash flow.

On August 18, 2010, we received a warning letter from the FDA which pertained to its inspection of AMRI Burlington in March 2010 and which identified three significant observations. According to the warning letter, these observations may have caused our drug product(s) to be adulterated in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, processing, packing or holding did not conform to, or were not operated or administered in conformity with cGMP. A copy of the warning letter is available on the FDA website at www.fda.gov. We acquired the facility on June 14, 2010. The warning letter did not restrict production or shipment of products from the facility, however we voluntarily suspended cGMP production for a period of time while we undertook remediation steps to address the FDA’s observations. Although we resumed cGMP operations in May 2011, the suspension of production has had a material adverse effect on our business operations and cash flow.

We have been working to resolve the issues identified in the warning letter. In May, 2011, the Company provided the FDA with its final update pertaining to the warning letter. From June 8, 2011 through June 28, 2011, the FDA conducted a re-inspection of the Company’s Burlington facility. On June 28, 2011, the FDA issued a Form 483 report to the Company which included 7 inspectional observations. The Company provided a response to the FDA’s Form 483 report on July 20, 2011. On September 13, 2011, the Company received a letter from the FDA regarding the Company’s response stating that corrective actions proposed by the Company, once fully implemented, should adequately address the observations made by the FDA investigators. The letter also indicated that the Company’s corrective actions will be verified by the FDA at the next facility inspection. The Company believes the corrective actions have now been fully implemented. The Company will continue the manufacturing operations currently ongoing at the Burlington site, including GMP operations. There can be no assurance that the FDA will be satisfied with our response or will not identify additional issues on re-inspection. Failure to promptly correct these violations as required by the FDA may result in legal action without further notice including, without limitation, seizure and injunction. Other federal agencies may take the FDA warning letter into account when considering the award of contracts. Additionally, the FDA may withhold approval of requests for export certificate, or approval of pending drug applications listing our Burlington facility until the above violations are corrected. In addition, certain

15

customers who claim to be adversely impacted by the FDA warning letter and our inability to fulfill our contractual commitments may bring legal action against us. Any such actions could significantly disrupt our business and operations and have a material adverse impact on our financial position and operating results.

If we fail to meet our current credit facility’s financial covenants, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected. If we fail to successfully negotiate a new credit agreement as required by the terms of the current credit agreement, our business and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

During 2011 we did not meet certain of the obligations under our line of credit agreement with a bank group led by Bank of America. In June 2011, we finalized the renegotiation of such credit agreement which included repayment of $2.7 million of the outstanding line of credit. The remaining $7.0 million of the outstanding line of credit was converted into a term loan with a maturity date of June 2012 with quarterly repayments of $0.4 million and the line of credit currently secures $6.8 million of letters of credit outstanding to certain of the Company’s business partners. Additionally, in connection with our June 2011 agreement, we provided security to the bank group in the form of a security interest in substantially all of our United States assets and certain other collateral. We did not meet all of our obligations under the June 2011 debt agreement, which led to further re-negotiation of this line of credit with the Bank group. On December 1, 2011 we finalized a waiver and amendment which increased the effective interest rate, limited any further borrowings, required that we diligently seek refinancing of this debt agreement with a commitment for such to be obtained by March 31, 2012 and required the further repayment of $3.0 million in December 2011 and another $0.8 million of such obligations in early 2012. In addition, certain of the restrictive covenants were revised and as of such date the Company is only required to comply with certain cash maintenance requirements and to limit its capital expenditures. Covenants related to maintaining earnings levels were removed in the December 2011 amendment. As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately $2.6 million of term debt and $6.8 million of outstanding letters of credit secured by the line of credit. In addition, we maintain an additional credit facility with one bank that secures an individual letter of credit in an amount of approximately $3.0 million, which is cross defaulted to the primary line of credit.

In the event that we do not meet the covenants set forth in the December 2011 amendment to the credit agreement, there is no assurance that we will receive further waivers of covenant noncompliance from the lenders. If at any point, we fail to meet our credit facility’s financial or other covenants, the lenders can demand immediate repayment of our outstanding balance. This could have a negative impact on our liquidity, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow for other purposes. Based on the terms of the December 2011 amendment, we are not able to borrow further amounts under either the term loan or the line of credit. In the event that the bank group demanded immediate repayment of the term debt and cash collateralization of the letters of credit, the Company would require additional financing in order to operate its ongoing business. The Company believes that such financing could be obtained from a variety of sources including borrowing from another lending institution; sale or securitization of assets; or sales by the Company of equity or debt securities, however the cost of obtaining any such financing is likely to be greater than the current interest rate paid under the December 2011 amendment.

We are in the process of negotiating a 4-year credit agreement with a new bank which would serve to replace the current line of credit. While negotiations are proceeding in a positive manner, there is no assurance that we will be able to close this transaction on mutually acceptable terms. We expect that the new agreement will have covenants that require the Company to maintain minimum levels of cash, limit capital expenditures to historical amounts and require the Company to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. In the event that the Company is not able to finalize such new agreement, or if we fail to meet the terms of the new agreement, there could be a material and adverse effect on our business and operations.

We may experience disruptions in or the inability to source raw materials to support our production processes or to deliver goods to our customers.

We rely on independent suppliers for key raw materials, consisting primarily of various chemicals. We generally use raw materials available from more than one source. We could experience inventory shortages if we were required to use an alternative manufacturer on short notice, which could lead to raw materials being purchased on less favorable terms than we have with our regular supplier. Additionally, we rely on various third-party delivery services to transport both goods from our vendors and finished products to our customers.

16

A disruption in our ability to source or transport materials could delay or halt production and delivery of certain of our products thereby adversely impacting our ability to market and sell such products and our ability to compete.

Our sales forecast and/or revenue projections may not be accurate.

We use a “pipeline” system, a common industry practice, to forecast sales and trends in our business. Our sales personnel monitor the status of proposals, including the date when they estimate a customer will make a purchase decision and the potential size of the order. We aggregate these estimates on a quarterly basis in order to generate a sales pipeline. While the pipeline process provides us with some guidance in business planning and forecasting, it is based on estimates only and is therefore subject to risks and uncertainties. Any variation in the conversion of the pipeline into revenue or the pipeline itself could cause us to improperly plan or budget and thereby adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may lose one or more of our major customers.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, revenues from our largest customer represented approximately 16% of our contract revenue, or 13% of our total revenue. Our existing agreement with this customer extends through 2013. If this customer does not renew the agreement there may be a material decrease in our revenues and operating income. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2011 sales to another customer represented approximately 9% of our contract revenue, or 7% of our total revenue. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2011, we provided services to two other major customers representing approximately 13% of our contract revenues or 10% of our total revenue. These customers typically may cancel their contracts with 30 days’ to one-year’s prior notice, depending on the size of the contract, for a variety of reasons, many of which are beyond our control. If any one of our major customers cancels its contract with us, our contract revenues may materially decrease.

If we fail to meet strict regulatory requirements, we could be required to pay fines or even close our facilities.

All facilities and manufacturing techniques used to manufacture drugs in the United States must conform to standards that are established by the FDA. The FDA conducts unscheduled periodic inspections of our facilities to monitor our compliance with regulatory standards. If the FDA finds that we fail to comply with the appropriate regulatory standards, it may impose fines on us or, if the FDA determines that our non-compliance is severe, it may close our facilities. Any adverse action by the FDA could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies may discontinue or decrease their usage of our services.

We depend on pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that use our services for a large portion of our revenues. Although there has been a trend among pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to outsource drug research and development functions, this trend may not continue. We have experienced increasing pressure on the part of our customers to reduce expenses, including the use of our services as a result of negative economic trends generally and more specifically in the pharmaceutical industry.

We may be adversely affected in future periods as a result of general economic and/or pharmaceutical industry downturns which has resulted in a diminished availability of liquidity in the marketplace. If pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies discontinue or decrease their usage of our services, including as a result of a slowdown in the overall global economy, our revenues and earnings could be lower than we currently expect and our revenues may decrease or not grow at historical rates.

We face increased competition.

We compete directly with the in-house research departments of pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies, as well as contract research companies, and research and academic institutions. We also experience significant competition from foreign companies operating under lower cost structures, primarily those in China and other Asian countries. While we operate in certain lower relative cost jurisdictions, such as India and Singapore, we do not have operations in China. Many of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we have. As new companies enter the market and as more advanced

17

technologies become available, we currently expect to face increased competition. In the future, any one of our competitors may develop technological advances that render the services that we provide obsolete. While we plan to develop technologies, which will give us competitive advantages, our competitors plan to do the same. We may not be able to develop the technologies we need to successfully compete in the future, and our competitors may be able to develop such technologies before we do or provide those services at a lower cost. Consequently, we may not be able to successfully compete in the future.

We may be required to record additional long-lived asset impairment charges.

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable based on the existence of certain triggering events.

Factors we consider important which could result in a long-lived asset impairment include 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.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $4.7 million in our DDS segment associated with the Company’s decision to terminate its lease and exit one of its U.S. facilities as part of the overall initiative to reduce the Company’s workforce, right size capacity, and reduce operating costs.

In 2010, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $4.8 million in our DDS segment. As a result of realigning some of the AMRI U.S. operating activities, 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. We also recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $6.0 million in our LSM segment upon determining that the carrying value of certain assets at our AMRI India location used in the manufacturing of generic products was not recoverable based on projections of future revenues and cash flows expected to be derived from the use of these assets.

If long-lived assets are determined to be impaired in the future, we would be required to record a charge to our results of operations.

Agreements we have with our employees, customers, consultants and other third parties may not afford adequate protection for our valuable intellectual property, confidential information and other proprietary information.

Some of our most valuable assets include patents. In addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovation and licensing opportunities. In an effort to maintain the confidentiality and ownership of our customer’s information, such as trade secrets, proprietary information and other customer confidential information, as well as our own, we require our employees, consultants and advisors to execute confidentiality and proprietary information agreements. However, these agreements may not provide us with adequate protection against improper use or disclosure of confidential information and there may not be adequate remedies in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. Furthermore, we may from time to time hire scientific personnel formerly employed by other companies involved in one or more areas similar to the activities we conduct. In some situations, our confidentiality and proprietary information agreements may conflict with, or be subject to, the rights of third parties with whom our employees, consultants or advisors have prior employment or consulting relationships. Although we require our employees and consultants to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information of their previous employers, these individuals, or we, may be subject to allegations of trade secret misappropriation or other similar claims as a result of their prior affiliations. Finally, others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques causing some technologies that we develop to be patented by other companies. Our failure to protect our proprietary information and techniques may inhibit our ability to compete effectively and our investment in those technologies may not yield the benefits we expected. In addition, we may be subject to claims that we are infringing on the intellectual property of others. We could incur significant costs defending such claims and if we are unsuccessful in defending these claims, we may be subject to liability for infringement. To the extent that we are unable to protect confidential customer information, we may encounter material harm to our reputation and to our business.

Recent acquisitions and strategic investments have taken longer than expected to achieve profitability.

In recent years, we have engaged in a number of acquisitions and strategic investments. We have established contract research facilities in several international locations worldwide and have expanded certain of these facilities. Most recently, in 2010, we completed the acquisitions of AMRI UK, a chemical development and large scale manufacturing business in the United Kingdom, and AMRI Burlington, a formulation facility located in Burlington, Massachusetts. These acquisitions have not achieved profitability and each such acquisition has required further investment in order to provide a more stable operating platform for the future. In particular, due to a significant decrease in demand from a key customer at AMRI UK, and the issuance of the FDA warning letter to our AMRI Burlington location, we were required to record goodwill impairment charges at these locations in 2010. The overall economic slowdown in our key markets has also delayed the effective utilization of these acquired facilities. We expect that we will be required to make further investments in these acquired companies as we drive toward profitability and this may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

We may not be able to effectively manage our international operations.

There are significant risks associated with the establishment of foreign operations, including, but not limited to: geopolitical risks, foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of shifts in the U.S. and local economies on those rates, compliance with local laws and regulations, the protection of our intellectual property and that of our customers, the ability to integrate our corporate culture with local customs and cultures, and the ability to effectively and efficiently supply our international facilities with the required equipment and materials. If we are unable to effectively manage these risks, these locations may not produce the revenues, earnings, or strategic benefits that we anticipate, or we may be subject to fines or other regulatory actions if we do not comply with local laws and regulations, which could have a material adverse affect on our business.

We may not be able to recruit and retain the highly skilled employees we need.

Our future growth and profitability depends upon the research and efforts of our highly skilled employees, such as our scientists, and their ability to keep pace with changes in drug discovery and development technologies. We compete vigorously with pharmaceutical firms, biotechnology firms, contract research firms, and academic and research institutions to recruit scientists. If we cannot recruit and retain scientists and other highly skilled employees, we will not be able to continue our existing services and will not be able to expand the services we offer to our customers.

We may lose one or more of our key employees.

Our business is highly dependent on our senior management and scientific staff, including:

• Dr. Thomas E. D’Ambra, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President;

• Mark T. Frost, our Senior Vice President, Administration, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer;

• Dr. Steven R. Hagen, our Vice President, Pharmaceutical Development and Manufacturing;

• Lori M. Henderson, our Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary

• Brian D. Russell, our Vice President, Human Resources; and

• Dr. Bruce J. Sargent, our Senior Vice President, Drug Discovery;

The loss of any of our key employees, including our scientists, may have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may be held liable for harm caused by drugs that we develop and test.

We develop, test and manufacture drugs that are used by humans. If any of the drugs that we develop, test or manufacture harm people, we may be required to pay damages to those persons. Although we carry liability insurance, we may be required to pay damages in excess of the amounts of our insurance coverage. Damages awarded in a product liability action could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

19

We may be liable for contamination or other harm caused by hazardous materials that we use.

Our manufacturing and research and development processes involve the use of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials and substances. We are subject to Federal, state and local laws and regulation governing the use, manufacture, handling, storage and disposal of such materials, including but not limited to radioactive compounds and certain waste products. Additionally, we are subject to various laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices and emissions and wastewater discharges. Although we believe that our activities currently comply with the standards prescribed by such laws and regulations, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from these materials. We may incur liability as a result of any contamination or injury. In addition, we cannot predict the extent of regulations that might result from any future legislative or administrative actions, therefore we could be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations and these actions could restrict our operations in the future. Such expenses, liabilities or restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

We completed an environmental remediation assessment associated with groundwater contamination at our Rensselaer, New York location. This contamination is associated with past practices at the facility prior to 1990, and prior to our investment or ownership of the facility. Ongoing costs associated with the remediation include biannual monitoring and reporting to the State of New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Under the remediation plan, we are expected to pay for monitoring and reporting until 2014. Under a 1999 agreement with the facility’s previous owner, our maximum liability under the remediation is $5.5 million. If the State of New York Department of Environmental Conservation finds that we fail to comply with the appropriate regulatory standards, it may impose fines on us which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Our operations may be interrupted by the occurrence of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event at our primary facilities.

We depend on our laboratories and equipment for the continued operation of our business. Our research and development operations and all administrative functions are primarily conducted at our facilities in Albany and Rensselaer, New York. Although we have contingency plans in effect for natural disasters or other catastrophic events, these events could still disrupt our operations. Even though we carry business interruption insurance policies, we may suffer losses as a result of business interruptions that exceed the coverage available under our insurance policies. Any natural disaster or catastrophic event at any of our facilities could have a significant negative impact on our operations.

Terrorist attacks or acts of war may seriously harm our business.

Terrorist attacks or acts of war may cause damage or disruption to our company, our employees, our facilities and our customers, which could significantly impact our revenues, costs and expenses and financial condition. The potential for terrorist attacks, the national and international responses to terrorist attacks, and other acts of war or hostility have created many economic and political uncertainties, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition in ways that we currently cannot predict.

Domestic policy changes, including income tax and health care reform could reduce the prices pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can charge for drugs they sell, including some of our potential products, which in turn, could reduce the amounts that they have available to retain our services.

We depend on contracts with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for a majority of our revenues. We therefore depend upon the ability of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to earn enough profit on the drugs they market to devote substantial resources to the research and development of new drugs. Additionally, we rely on our collaborative partners to obtain acceptable prices or an adequate level of reimbursement for our current and potential future products. Continued efforts of government and third-party payors to contain or reduce the cost of health care through various means, could affect our levels of revenues and earnings. In certain foreign markets, pricing and/or profitability of pharmaceutical products are subject to governmental control. Domestically, there have been and may continue to be proposals to implement similar governmental control. Future legislation may limit the prices pharmaceutical and

20

biotechnology companies can charge for the drugs they market and cost control initiatives could affect the amounts that third-party payors agree to reimburse for those drugs. There is no assurance that our collaborative partners will be able to obtain acceptable prices for our products which would allow us to sell these products on a competitive and profitable basis. As a result, such laws and initiatives may have the effect of reducing the resources that pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can devote to the research and development of new drugs. If pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies decrease the resources they devote to the research and development of new drugs, the amount of services that we perform, and therefore our revenues, could be reduced.

The ability of our stockholders to control our policies and effect a change of control of our company is limited, which may not be in every shareholder’s best interests.

There are provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws which may discourage a third party from making a proposal to acquire us, even if some of our stockholders might consider the proposal to be in their best interests. These provisions include the following:

• Our certificate of incorporation provides for three classes of directors with the term of office of one class expiring each year, commonly referred to as a “staggered board.” By preventing stockholders from voting on the election of more than one class of directors at any annual meeting of stockholders, this provision may have the effect of keeping the current members of our board of directors in control for a longer period of time than stockholders may desire.

• Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval and to establish the preferences and rights of any preferred stock issued, which would allow the board to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock that could discourage or delay a tender offer or change in control.

Additionally, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which, in general, imposes restrictions upon acquirers of 15% or more of our stock.

We have adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan, the purpose of which is, among other things, to enhance the Board’s ability to protect shareholder interests and to ensure that shareholders receive fair treatment in the event any coercive takeover attempt of us is made in the future. Under the terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Board can in effect prevent a person or group from acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Once a shareholder acquires more than 15% of our outstanding Common Stock without Board approval (the “acquiring person”), all other shareholders will have the right to purchase securities from us at a price less than their then fair market value. These subsequent purchases by other shareholders substantially reduce the value and influence of the shares of Common Stock owned by the acquiring person.

Our officers and directors have significant control over us and their interests as shareholders may differ from our other shareholders.

At February 29, 2012, our directors and officers beneficially owned or controlled approximately 16.0% of our outstanding common stock. Individually and in the aggregate, these stockholders significantly influence our management, affairs and all matters requiring stockholder approval. In particular, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing an acquisition of us and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our stock price is volatile and could experience substantial further declines.

The market price of our common stock has historically experienced and may continue to experience volatility. Our quarterly operating results, changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets and other developments affecting us or our competitors could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, in recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. In addition, the global economic and potential uncertainty have created significant additional volatility in the United States capital markets. This volatility and the recent market decline has affected the market prices of securities issued by many companies, often for reasons unrelated to their operating performance or their business prospects, and has adversely affected and may further affect the price of our common stock.

21

Because we do not intend to pay dividends, our shareholders will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if it appreciates in value.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of our shareholders’ investment in our common stock will depend entirely upon any future appreciation. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which shareholders purchased their shares.

We may experience significant increases in operational costs beyond our control.

Costs for certain items which are needed to run our business, such as energy and certain materials, have the potential to fluctuate. As these cost increases are often dependent on market conditions, and although we do our best to manage these price increases, we may experience increases in our costs due to the volatility of prices and market conditions. Increases in these costs could negatively impact our results of operations.

Delays in, or failure of, the approval of our customers’ regulatory submissions could impact our revenue and earnings.

The successful transition of clinical and preclinical candidates into long term commercial supply agreements is a key component of the LSM business strategy. If our customers do not receive approval of their regulatory submissions, this could have a significant negative impact on our revenue and earnings.

Our business may be adversely affected if we encounter complications in connection with our continued implementation and operation of information management software and infrastructure.

We have implemented a comprehensive enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system to the majority of our locations to enhance operating efficiencies and provide more effective management of our business operations. Continuing an uninterrupted performance of our ERP system or other software or hardware is critical to the success of our business strategy. Any material failure of our ERP system or other software or hardware that interrupts or delays our operations could adversely impact our ability to do the following in a timely manner and have a material adverse effect on our operations:

• report financial results;

• accurately reflect inventory costs;

• accept and process customer orders;

• receive inventory and ship products;

• invoice and collect receivables;

• place purchase orders and pay invoices; and

• accurately reflect all other business transactions related to the finance, order entry, purchasing, supply chain and human resource processes within the ERP system.

We are subject to foreign currency risks.

Our global business operations give rise to market risk exposure related to changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and other market factors. If we fail to effectively manage such risks, it could have a negative impact on our consolidated financial statements. For a further discussion of our foreign currency risks, please see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.

A reduction or delay in government funding of research and development may adversely affect our business.

A greater portion of our overall revenue is derived either from governmental sources directly, such as the U.S. National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) or clients at academic institutions, corporations and research laboratories whose funding is partially dependent on both the level and timing of funding from government sources, such as BARDA and similar domestic and international agencies. These direct and indirect sources of government funding can be difficult to forecast. Government funding of research and development is subject

22

to the political process, which is inherently unpredictable. Our revenue may be adversely affected if our clients delay entering into contracts for our services as a result of uncertainties surrounding the approval of government budget proposals. A reduction in government funding for the NIH or other government research agencies could adversely affect our business and our financial results and there is no guarantee that NIH funding will be directed towards projects and studies that require use of our services. In addition, as we begin to do more business directly with the US government and its various agencies, we have become subject to many additional regulatory requirements with respect to billing, collections, record-keeping, security and other matters which have required us to devote resources to these efforts. While we use our best commercial efforts to comply with these additional regulatory requirements any failure to comply could have an adverse impact on our ability to maintain revenue from governmental sources or subject us to penalties or fines.

We believe these facilities are generally in good condition and suitable for their purpose. We believe that the capacity associated with these facilities is adequate to meet our anticipated needs through 2012.

ITEM 3. 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, 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.

Allegra

The Company, along with Aventis Pharmaceuticals Inc., the U.S. pharmaceutical business of Sanofi, has been involved in legal proceedings with several companies seeking to market or which are currently marketing generic versions of Allegra and Allegra-D. In accordance with the Company’s agreements with Sanofi, Sanofi bears the external legal fees and expenses for these legal proceedings, but in general, the Company must consent to any settlement or other arrangement with any third party. Under those same agreements, the Company will receive royalties from Sanofi on U.S. Patent No. 5,578,610 until its expiration in 2013 and

23

royalties on U.S. Patent No. 5,750,703 until its expiration in 2015, unless those patents are earlier determined to be invalid. Similarly, the Company is entitled to receive royalties from Sanofi on certain foreign patents through 2015, unless those patents are earlier determined to be invalid.

United States Litigations

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, and Aurolife Pharma LLC and Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. 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 (now Sanofi) filed patent infringement lawsuits against each of the above referenced companies. 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, Sanofi 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, along with Aventis Pharmaceuticals, filed suit in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey against a number of defendants asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,581,011 and 5,750,703, which are exclusively licensed to Aventis Pharmaceuticals and relate to Allegra and Allegra-D products. 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. That patent is licensed to Sanofi U.S. LLC and Sanofi U.S. LLC joined that lawsuit as a co-plaintiff with the Company.

On November 18, 2008, the Company, Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Barr Laboratories reached a settlement regarding the above-described patent infringement litigations relating to Teva Pharmaceuticals and Barr Laboratories (the “Teva Settlement”). As part of the Teva Settlement, the Company entered into an amendment to its licensing agreement with Sanofi to allow Sanofi 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 of $10 million, and Sanofi 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. The Company received 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 has reverted 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 Allegra D-12. The Company and Aventis Pharmaceuticals have also dismissed their claims against Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd./Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Sandoz, Inc. without prejudice.

On March 19, 2010, the Company and Sanofi filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey seeking to enjoin Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. from commercial distribution of a Allegra D-24 product based in that product infringing U.S. Patent No. 7,390,906. On June 14, 2010, the Company and Sanofi were granted a preliminary injunction restraining Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. from commercial distribution of a D-24 product. On January 13, 2011, the same court issued a decision interpreting the scope of the claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,390,906. Based on the court’s January 13, 2011 interpretation of the scope of a claim term in U.S. Patent No. 7,390,906, the Company does not presently have evidence sufficient to obtain a favorable outcome on its infringement claim against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. As a result, the Company, along with Sanofi, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd., and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., agreed to the court’s entry of an order on January 28, 2011, finding that there was no infringement of

24

U.S. Patent No. 7,390,906 based on the Court’s January 13, 2011 claim interpretation. The court’s January 28, 2011 order also dissolved the preliminary injunction that was entered on June 14, 2010. The Company and Sanofi U.S. LLC have proceeded directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to appeal the January 13, 2011 decision.

The January 13, 2011, decision also included an interpretation of the scope of the claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,750,703, and based on that interpretation, the Company does not presently have evidence sufficient to obtain a favorable outcome on its infringement claim against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd., Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., Amino Chemicals Ltd., Dipharma S.P.A., and Dipharma Francis Sr.l As a result, the Company, along with Sanofi, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd., Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. Amino Chemicals Ltd., Dipharma S.P.A., and Dipharma Francis Sr.l agreed to the court’s entry of an order on March 28, 2011, finding that there was no infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,750,703 based on the Court’s January 13, 2011 claim interpretation. The Company and Sanofi U.S. LLC have proceeded directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to appeal the January 13, 2011 decision.

In June 2011, the Company, Sanofi and Impax Laboratories, Inc. reached a settlement agreement of the above patent infringement litigation relating to Impax (“Impax Settlement”). In conjunction with the Impax Settlement, the Company and Sanofi agreed to amend their license agreement to allow Sanofi to sublicense patents related to ALLEGRA® and ALLEGRA®D-12 to Impax Laboratories, Inc. in the United States. In addition, the Company, Sanofi, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Alphapharm reached a settlement agreement of the above patent infringement litigation relating to Mylan and the below noted litigation in Australia against Mylan affiliate Alphapharm (“Mylan Settlement”). In conjunction with the Mylan Settlement, the Company and Sanofi agreed to amend their license agreement to allow Sanofi to sublicense patents related to ALLEGRA® and ALLEGRA®D-12 to Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the United States.

International Litigation

In 2007, the Company filed patent infringement lawsuits in Australia against Alphapharm Pty Ltd., Arrow Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd, Chemists’ Own Pty Ltd, and Sigma Pharmaceuticals Limited based on Australian Patent No. 699,799. These matters were heard in a consolidated trial in November and December 2010. On February 17, 2011, the Court ruled that the defendants are not liable for infringement because the asserted claims of the Australian Patent No. 699,799 are invalid for lack of novelty and false suggestion. An appeal has been filed with regard to the ruling in the case against Arrow. The action against Alphapharm was settled as part of the Mylan Settlement, with Alphapharm receiving a sublicense to sell its products in Australia and New Zealand. Notwithstanding the court’s ruling of non-infringement, the Company continues to receive royalties on sales of the Allegra products in Australia, based on its rights under other patents.

At Risk Launches

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 United States litigation, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories has engaged in an at-risk launch of a generic fexofenadine single-entity product.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

We are a global contract research and manufacturing organization that provides customers fully integrated drug discovery, development, and manufacturing services. We supply a broad range of services and technologies that support the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products and the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) and drug product for existing and experimental new drugs. With locations in the United States, Europe, and Asia, we maintain geographic proximity and flexible cost models. We have also historically leveraged our drug-discovery expertise to execute on several internal drug discovery programs, which have progressed to the development candidate stage and in some cases into Phase I clinical development. We have successfully partnered certain programs and are actively seeking to out-license our remaining programs to strategic partners for further development.

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. Our service offerings range from early stage discovery through manufacturing and formulation across U.S., Europe and Asia. We believe that the ability to partner with a single provider is of significant benefit to our customers as we are able to provide them 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. Compounds discovered and/or developed in our contract 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, with the 2010 acquisition of our Burlington, MA facility, we now offer customers a fully integrated manufacturing process for sterile injectable drugs. This includes the development and manufacture of the API, the design of the criteria to formulate the API into an injectable drug product, and the manufacture of the final drug product. We continue to make investments to build and recover our formulation business, as we believe this type of business has significant potential in the drug product world driven by the growth in biologically based compounds which are formulated/manufactured on an aseptic basis.

In addition to providing our customers our hybrid services model for outsourcing, we now offer the option of insourcing. With our world class expertise in managing high performing groups of scientists, this option allows us to embed our scientists into the customer’s facility allowing the customer to cost effectively leverage their unused laboratory space.

In 2011, we made a decision to cease activities related to our internal proprietary compound discovery R&D programs. Although we halted our proprietary R&D activities, we continue to believe there are additional opportunities to partner our proprietary compounds or programs to create value, as we have seen a renewed commitment by pharmaceutical companies for innovation both internally and through licensing. Our goal is to partner these compounds or programs in return for a combination of up-front license fees, milestone payments and recurring royalty payments if any compound based on our intellectual property is successfully developed into new drugs and reach the market.

Our total revenue for 2011 was $207.6 million, including $169.6 million from our contract service business and $35.0 million from royalties on sales of Allegra®/Telfast. We used $1.5 million in cash from operations, and we used $10.8 million for capital expenditures on our facilities and equipment, primarily related to maintenance of existing facilities and international expansion. We recorded a net loss of $32.3 million in 2011, largely the result of a $15.8 million goodwill impairment charge, a $4.7 million long-lived asset impairment charge, a $1.3 million restructuring charge and a $0.9 million intangible impairment charge. As of December 31, 2011, we had $20.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments and $5.8 million in bank and other related debt.

Results of Operations

Operating Segment Data

We have organized our sales, marketing and production activities into the Discovery/Development/Small Scale Manufacturing (“DDS”) and Large Scale Manufacturing (“LSM”) segments based on the criteria set forth in ASC 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” We rely on an internal management accounting system to report results of these segments. The accounting system includes revenue and cost information by segment. We make financial decisions and allocate resources based on the information we receive from this internal system. The DDS segment includes activities such as drug lead discovery, optimization, drug development and small scale commercial manufacturing. The LSM segment includes pilot to commercial scale manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates, sterile syringe and vial filling, and high potency and controlled substance manufacturing. API manufacturing is performed at our Rensselaer, NY, Wales, UK and Aurangabad, IN facilities.

Contract Revenue

Contract revenue consists primarily of fees earned under contracts with third-party customers. Our contract revenues for our DDS and LSM segments were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2011		2010		2009
	(in thousands)
DDS	$	74,032	$	83,308	$	85,793
LSM		95,579		79,921		71,007
Total	$	169,611	$	163,229	$	156,800

DDS contract revenues decreased for the year ended December 31, 2011 from the same period in 2010 primarily due to lower contract revenue from our discovery services of $10.7 million, offset in part by an increase in our development and small-scale manufacturing services of $1.5 million. The decrease in discovery services contract revenue was primarily due to lower demand for our U.S. medicinal chemistry services, partially offset by higher demand for our discovery services at our Asia locations. The increases in contract revenue from development and small-scale manufacturing services were attributable to higher demand for our chemistry development services.

We currently expect DDS contract revenue for full year 2012 to remain flat from amounts recognized in 2011.

LSM contract revenue increased for the year ended December 31, 2011 from the same period in 2010 as a result of higher commercial and API development manufacturing shipments from our Rensselaer, NY facility, as well as increased intermediate manufacturing in our Aurangabad, India facility as compared to the same period in 2010.

We currently expect LSM contract revenue for full year 2012 to increase from amounts recognized in 2011, including an increase in revenues from our Burlington, MA facility during the second half of 2012.

DDS contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased 2.9% as compared to the same period in 2009. This result was primarily due to a decrease in contract revenue caused by lower demand from specialty pharma/biotech customers for our U.S. services, offset in part by the acquisition of AMRI UK along with higher demand for these services at our international locations, including an increased demand for our in vitro biology services worldwide. LSM contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased 12.6% from the same period in 2009 primarily due to incremental revenues from the AMRI UK and AMRI Burlington acquisitions that took place in the first half of 2010. Additionally, sales of commercial products increased $7.0 million, primarily due to an increase in commercial sales to LSM’s largest customer, as such customers returned toward historical levels after reducing their purchases from us in 2009 in an effort to reduce their inventory levels. These increases were offset, in part, by a decrease of $7.9 million related to reduced demand for the production of clinical supply materials.

30

Recurring Royalties

We earn royalties under our licensing agreement with Sanofi. Royalties were as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
2011	2010		2009
(in thousands)
$35,034	$	34,838	$	34,867

Recurring royalties are based on the worldwide sales of Allegra®/Telfast, as well as on sales of Sanofi’s over-the-counter (“OTC”) product and authorized generics. Recurring royalties slightly increased for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a significant increase in sales of prescription Allegra® in Japan, partially offset by a decrease in royalties recognized from the sale of Allegra® products in the U.S.

We currently expect full year 2012 recurring royalties to remain flat with amounts recognized in 2011. We are anticipating recurring royalties in the first half of 2012 to decrease from amounts recognized in the same period of 2011 due to the timing of the OTC product launch in the U.S. in 2011. We are anticipating recurring royalties to increase in the second half of 2012 from amounts recognized in the same period of 2011 as amounts in 2011 were impacted by prescription inventory reductions and marketing incentives associated with the OTC launch.

Recurring royalties remained flat for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

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. 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.

Milestone revenue

Milestone revenue is earned for achieving milestones included in licensing and research agreements with certain of our partners. Milestone revenues were as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
2011	2010		2009
(in thousands)
$3,000	$	—	$	4,750

Milestone revenue of $3.0 million received during the year ended December 31, 2011 was recognized in conjunction with the Company’s license and research agreement with BMS and was specifically based on meeting a Phase II clinical trial milestone of an AMRI compound licensed exclusively to BMS.

No milestone revenue was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2009, milestone revenue of $4.8 million was recognized in conjunction with the Company’s license and research agreement with BMS. $4.0 million was recognized as a result of the submission of a Clinical Trial Application and an additional $0.8 million was recognized for advancing a third compound into preclinical development.

31

Cost of Contract Revenue

Cost of contract revenue consists primarily of compensation and associated fringe benefits for employees, as well as chemicals, depreciation and other indirect project related costs. Cost of contract revenue for our DDS and LSM segments were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
	(in thousands)
DDS	$	72,758		$	72,903		$	72,867
LSM		95,712			79,770			65,872
Total	$	168,470		$	152,673		$	138,739
DDS Gross Margin		1.7	%		12.5	%		15.1	%
LSM Gross Margin		(0.1%)			0.2	%		7.2	%
Total Gross Margin		0.7	%		6.5	%		11.5	%

DDS contract revenue gross margin percentages decreased for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This resulted from lower demand for our discovery services in relation to our fixed costs.

We currently expect DDS contract margins for 2012 to improve over amounts recognized in 2011 due to cost reduction actions implemented in the U.S. in 2011 along with the impact of the anticipated sale or closure of our Hungarian operations.

LSM’s contract revenue gross margin slightly decreased for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease is primarily due to levels of fixed cost base at our Burlington, MA facility as compared to its revenues due to the disruption at the facility resulting from the FDA warning letter received in August 2010, along with unutilized capacity at our AMRI UK facility. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in margins for our U.S. API manufacturing services.

We currently expect LSM contract margins for 2012 to improve from amounts recognized in 2011 driven by higher revenues discussed above in relation to our fixed costs.

DDS contract revenue gross margin decreased 2.6% for the year ended December 31, 2010 from the same period in 2009. This decrease resulted from lower demand for our U.S services in relation to our fixed costs.

LSM’s contract revenue gross margin decreased 7.0% for the year ended December 31, 2010 from the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to lower revenues at our Burlington facility in relation to its fixed cost base due to the pending resolution of its FDA warning letter, along with unutilized capacity at our AMRI UK facility.

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:

Year Ended December 31,
2011	2010		2009
(in thousands)
$3,557	$	3,484	$	3,594

32

We expect technology incentive award expense to generally fluctuate directionally and proportionately with fluctuations in Allegra® royalties in future periods. Technology incentive award expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 remained consistent as compared to 2010 and 2009, which reflects the relative consistency in royalty revenue.

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, materials, outsourced activities and other out of pocket costs and overhead costs.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors made a decision to cease activities related to its internal discovery research and development programs, excluding its generic program. Although we ceased our proprietary R&D activities, we continue to believe there are additional opportunities to partner our proprietary compounds 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 activities continue 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:

Year Ended December 31,
2011	2010		2009
(in thousands)
$7,939	$	11,090	$	14,547

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased 28% from the year ended December 31, 2010. This decrease is primarily due to an overall decrease in internal operating costs as we strategically managed our R&D investments and continued to narrow the focus of R&D spending on those programs with the highest licensing potential, as well as a decrease in clinical trial costs related to our oncology and obesity programs.

Based on our strategic decision to cease R&D operations, we currently expect 2012 R&D expense to reduce to approximately $1.0 million, with costs related to developing new niche generic products and improving process efficiencies in our manufacturing plants.

Research and development expenses decreased 23.8% for the year ended December 31, 2010 from the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to lower compensation costs in 2010 caused by a reduction of research and development scientific resources and lower material costs, as we managed our costs by focusing on moving only our most advanced 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.

Selling, General and Administrative

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

Year Ended December 31,
2011	2010		2009
(in thousands)
$41,071	$	42,234	$	38,036

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased from the same period in 2010. This decrease is primarily attributable to nonrecurring acquisition costs and reduced AMRI Burlington remediation costs that occurred in 2010.

We currently expect SG&A expenses for 2012 to decrease due to the anticipated sale or closure of our Hungarian operations, as well as other cost saving actions implemented in the U.S. in 2011.

33

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2010 from the same period in 2009. The increase is primarily due to transaction costs associated with the AMRI UK and AMRI Burlington acquisitions in the first half 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. locations in May 2010 and our large-scale India operations in December 2009.

Goodwill Impairment

Year Ended December 31,
2011	2010		2009
(in thousands)
$15,812	$	36,844	$	22,900

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $15.8 million in our DDS operating segment due to a change in the implied fair value of the segment’s goodwill to below its carrying value. The change in the fair value of the segment was primarily attributable to significantly lower than forecasted demand for contract services in the current year, which resulted in a decrease in management’s long-term estimates of operating results and cash flows for the segment.

We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $36.8 million in our LSM operating segment due to a change in the implied fair value of the segment’s goodwill to below its carrying value during the fourth quarter of 2010. The change in the fair value of the segment was primarily attributable to the fact that in the fourth quarter of 2010 several events occurred in the LSM segment that significantly impacted our expected future performance for this segment. Our AMRI UK facility was notified of an unplanned elimination in demand for a key commercial product, which has historically represented a significant amount of annual revenues at the site. In addition, the FDA warning letter issued to our AMRI Burlington facility was expected to have both continued negative short-term financial impact during the remediation process, as well as delaying the planned integration of the AMRI Burlington business into our overall LSM platform and the forecasted resulting growth in the long term.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $22.9 million in our LSM operating segment due to a change in the implied fair value of the segment’s goodwill to below its carrying value. The change in the fair value of the segment was primarily attributable to the fact that in the fourth quarter of 2009 several issues occurred in the LSM segment that significantly impacted our expected future performance. Two phase III products that were expected to receive FDA approval were delayed, one by the FDA requiring more information and one by the customer in an effort to proactively collect more data before submitting to the FDA. It was expected throughout 2009 that commercial manufacturing would commence on both these products at the AMRI Rensselaer LSM facility beginning in 2010. In addition, the Company was notified of additional unexpected reductions in demand for product under the commercial supply agreement with its largest customer. These additional unplanned demand reductions in the fourth quarter of 2009 added an element of risk related to the Company’s ability to achieve the significant revenues expected from this contract that were reflected in the future projections for the segment.

Property and Equipment Impairment

Year Ended December 31,
2011	2010		2009
(in thousands)
$4,674	$	10,848	$	—

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $4.7 million in our DDS segment associated with the Company’s decision to terminate its lease and exit one of its U.S. facilities as part of the overall initiative to reduce the Company’s workforce, right size capacity, and reduce operating costs.

34

In 2010, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $4.8 million in our DDS segment. As a result of realigning some of the AMRI U.S. operating activities, 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. Additionally, we recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $6.0 million in our LSM segment upon determining that the carrying value of certain assets at our AMRI India location used in the manufacturing of generic products was not recoverable based on projections of future revenues and cash flows expected to be derived from the use of these assets.

Intangible Impairment

Year Ended December 31,
2011	2010		2009
(in thousands)
$856	$	—	$	—

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we identified patent assets relating to technologies that we no longer expect to derive value from as a result of the Company’s decision to cease internal R&D activities. We recorded an intangible impairment charge of $0.9 million in our DDS segment in conjunction with this review of our patent portfolio.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges are included under the caption “Restructuring charges” in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and the restructuring liabilities are included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and “Other long-term liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The following table displays the restructuring activity and liability balances for and as of December 31, 2011:

	Balance at January 1, 2011		Charges/ (reversals)			Paid Amounts			Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments			Balance at December 31, 2011
Termination benefits and personnel realignment	$	141	$	1,282		$	(949	)	$	(18	)	$	456
Lease termination charges		1,932		(261	)		(543	)		—			1,128
Other		120		250			—			(16	)		354
Total	$	2,193	$	1,271		$	(1,492	)	$	(34	)	$	1,938

Termination benefits and personnel realignment costs relate to severance packages, outplacement services, and career counseling for employees affected by the restructuring. Lease termination charges relate to costs associated with exiting the facility, net of estimated sublease income.

Anticipated cash outflows during 2012 related to the below described restructuring is approximately $1.6 million.

The details of the restructuring activity displayed in the table above are as follows:

AMRI U.S.

In May 2010, we initiated a restructuring of our AMRI U.S. locations. As part of our strategy to increase global competitiveness and continue to be diligent in managing costs, we implemented 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 were consolidated into other nearby Company operations. We recorded a restructuring charge of $3.2 million in 2010. This charge included lease termination charges of $2.2 million (net of estimated sublease income), termination benefits and personnel realignment costs of $0.8 million and facility and other costs of $0.2 million.

35

Additionally, in March 2011, we reduced our workforce to right-size our U.S. operations, primarily focused on discovery chemistry services due to the shift in demand for these types of services to our lower cost operations in Asia. In connection with this reduction, we recorded a restructuring charge of $1.0 million for termination benefits. These restructuring activities were recorded within our DDS operating segment.

In December 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan at one of our U.S. locations which included actions to further reduce our workforce, right size capacity, and reduce operating costs. These actions were implemented to better align the business to current and expected market conditions and are expected to improve our overall cost competitiveness and increase cash flow generation. The workforce reduction primarily affected certain positions associated with our elimination of internal R&D activities. As a result of the workforce reduction, we will be terminating the lease of one of our U.S. facilities which will result in a reduction in annual operating expenses related to this facility. As a result of this restructuring, we recorded a restructuring charge of $0.3 million in the DDS operating segment.

In December 2009, we initiated a restructuring of its AMRI India locations which consisted of closing and consolidating its Mumbai administrative office into its Hyderabad location as part of the Company’s goal to streamline operations and eliminate duplicate administrative functions. The Company 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. The AMRI India restructuring activity was recorded in our LSM operating segment.

$127	$	9,798	$	—

On August 19, 2009, AMRI Rensselaer notified one of its suppliers that it was cancelling a purchase agreement between the parties pursuant to a hardship clause of the agreement. AMRI Rensselaer took the position that the cancellation was a valid and effective termination of the agreement under its terms while our supplier contended that the cancellation constituted repudiation of the contract for which they could recover damages. Our supplier commenced arbitration in September 2009 with International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) seeking damages for AMRI Rensselaer’s alleged wrongful repudiation of the agreement in the total amount of $9.3 million, consisting of $8.7 million as lost profit and $0.6 million as labor cost.

On October 13, 2010 the ICDR issued an arbitration award in favor of our supplier against AMRI Rensselaer. The arbitrator awarded our supplier damages of $8.7 million plus interest at the rate of 9% starting from August 19, 2009. AMRI accrued $9.6 million for the award and related interest expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

On March 2, 2011, AMRI Rensselaer and our supplier entered into a Settlement and Supply agreement (“Agreement”) which served to settle the arbitral award and other legal proceedings related to the arbitral award that were pending. The Agreement required AMRI Rensselaer to pay $4.8 million to our supplier and provide a letter of credit to secure the remainder of the arbitral award plus accrued interest. The letter of credit will reduce quarterly based on certain volume purchase milestones. The Agreement also re-establishes the supply relationship between AMRI and our supplier through 2018 with mutually beneficial terms.

As the letter of credit is reduced, the Company reverses the allocated portion of the accrued charge through a reduction in the carrying cost of the associated inventory. The maximum amount to be reversed is $5.5 million through 2014. As of December 31, 2011, the remaining arbitration reserve is $4.1 million.

Arbitration charges of $0.1 million in 2011 represent accrued interest expense related to the award prior to the arbitration settlement.

Interest income		131			452			646
Interest (expense) income, net	$	(583	)	$	160		$	269

Interest expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010 primarily due to borrowing costs associated with the renegotiation of the Company’s new credit agreement entered into in 2011.

Interest expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared with the same period in 2009 due to the decrease of interest rates on our outstanding debt.

Interest income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the average balances of interest bearing cash and investments held during the year.

Interest income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared with the same period in 2009 also due to the decrease in the average balances of interest bearing cash and investments held during the year.

$77	$	(1,007	)	$	(593	)

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes income from purchase accounting adjustments in the first quarter of $0.3 million related to the 2010 AMRI UK and AMRI Burlington acquisitions and income related to the fluctuation in exchange rates associated with foreign currency translations. These amounts are offset in part by deferred financing amortization expense.

Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased as compared to the same period in 2009. This difference is primarily due to fluctuations in rates associated with foreign currency transactions.

Income tax benefit

Year Ended December 31,
2011	2010			2009
(in thousands)
$(4,342)	$	(9,971	)	$	(5,357	)

Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $4.3 million as compared to income tax benefit of $10.0 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease in income tax benefit is due to a decrease in pre-tax loss, as well as the composition of pre-tax losses in relation to the applicable tax rates at our various locations worldwide.

Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $10.0 million as compared to income tax benefit of $5.4 million for the same period in 2009. This increase in income tax benefit is due to an increase in pre-tax loss, offset by a correction of prior year deferred tax assets, which resulted in additional income tax expense of $8.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically funded our business through operating cash flows and proceeds from borrowings. During 2011, we used cash of $1.5 million for operating activities.

During 2011, cash provided by investing activities was $4.0 million, resulting primarily from net proceeds from the sale or maturities of marketable securities of $15.2 million offset in part by the use of $10.8 million for the acquisition of property and equipment. During 2011, we used $7.0 million for financing activities, relating primarily to payments made on our credit facilities.

Working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $62.6 million as of December 31, 2011, compared to $79.4 million as of December 31, 2010. This decrease includes a payment of $4.8 million associated with the Company’s settlement of the 2010 arbitration matter with a supplier and $10.8 million used for capital expenditures.

Total capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $10.8 million as compared to $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Capital expenditures in 2011 were primarily related to maintenance of our existing facilities and international expansion of our existing facilities.

For 2012, we expect to incur $10.0 to $12.0 million in capital expenditures primarily relating to maintenance of our existing facilities and expansion at our existing international facilities.

In June 2011, we finalized the renegotiation of our credit agreement, which included repayment of $2.7 million of the outstanding line of credit. The remaining $7.0 million of the outstanding line of credit was converted into a term loan with a maturity date of June 2012 and quarterly repayments of $0.4 million. The line of credit also secures our outstanding letters of credit which totaled $6.8 million as of December 31, 2011.

The credit facility contains certain financial covenants, including minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and a minimum unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance. Other covenants include, but are not limited to, limits on quarterly capital expenditures. Additionally, in connection with the new debt agreement, the Company provided security to the bank group in the form of a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets located in the United States.

As of September 30, 2011, we were not in compliance with one of the financial covenant requirements. As a result, the we received a waiver from the lenders and additionally amended the above credit agreement effective November 29, 2011. The amended credit agreement increased the effective interest rate, limited any further borrowings, required that we diligently seek refinancing of this debt agreement with a commitment for such to be obtained by March 31, 2012 and required the further repayment of $3.0 million in December 2011 and another $0.8 million of such obligations in the first quarter of 2012 with the remaining outstanding balance to be repaid in June 2012, on the loan’s maturity date. In addition, certain of the restrictive covenants were revised and as of such date we are only required to comply with certain cash maintenance requirements and to limit our capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the existing financial covenant requirements.

We are in the process of negotiating a 4-year credit agreement with a new bank which would serve to replace the current line of credit. While negotiations are proceeding in a positive manner, there is no assurance that we will be able to close this transaction on mutually acceptable terms. The new agreement will have covenants that require the Company to maintain minimum levels of cash, limit capital expenditures to historical amounts and require the Company to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. If the Company is not able to finalize such new agreement, or if we fail to meet the terms of the new agreement, there could be a material and adverse effect on our business and operations. In the event that the current bank group demanded immediate repayment of the term loan and cash collateralization of the letters of credit prior to the negotiation of the new agreement, the Company would require additional financing in order to operate its ongoing business. The Company believes that such financing could be obtained from a variety of sources including borrowing from another lending institution; sale or securitization of assets; or sales by the Company of equity or debt securities.

38

Working capital was $79.4 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $149.7 million as of December 31, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to cash of $46.3 used for the acquisitions of AMRI Burlington and AMRI UK, $11.6 million used for capital expenditures and $10.0 million used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

Total capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $11.6 million as compared to $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Capital expenditures in 2010 were primarily related to international expansion and maintenance of our existing facilities.

During 2010, we used $45.1 million in cash for investing activities, resulting primarily from the use of $18.0 million for the acquisition of AMRI UK in February 2010 and $28.4 million for the acquisition of AMRI Burlington, net of cash acquired in June 2010, along with $11.6 million for the acquisition of property and equipment. These uses were offset in part by $13.9 million for net proceeds from investment securities. During 2010, we used $9.7 million for financing activities, consisting primarily of $10.0 million used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market pursuant to a stock repurchase plan approved by our Board of Directors in June 2010.

We expect that additional future capital expansion and acquisition activities, 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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not use special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet financing techniques that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Related Party Transactions

Technology Development Incentive Plan

We have a Technology Development Incentive Plan to provide a method to stimulate and encourage novel innovative technology development. To be eligible to participate, the individual must be an employee and must be the inventor of, co-inventor of, or have made a significant intellectual contribution to novel technology that results in new revenues received by us. Eligible participants will share in awards based on a percentage of the licensing, royalty or milestone revenue received by us, as defined by the Plan.

39

In 2011, 2010 and 2009 we awarded Technology Incentive Compensation primarily to Thomas D’Ambra, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the inventor of the terfenadine carboxylic acid metabolite technology, which is covered by the Company’s patents relating to the active ingredient in Allegra. In 2011 and 2009, awards were also granted in relation to the milestone payment from BMS made pursuant to the licensing and research agreement between the Company and BMS. The amounts awarded and included in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are $3.6 million, $3.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Included in accrued compensation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are unpaid Technology Development Incentive Compensation awards of approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Telecommunication Services

A member of the Company’s board of directors is the Chief Executive Officer of one of the providers of telephone and internet services to the Company. This telecommunications company was paid approximately $0.2 million per year for services rendered to the Company in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. All of these estimates reflect our best judgment and are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Under different assumptions or conditions, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described below could change, which may result in future impairments of inventories, goodwill, and long-lived assets, as well as increased pension liabilities, the establishment of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and increased tax liabilities, among other effects. Also see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report, which discusses the significant accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of commercially available fine chemicals used as raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods in our large-scale manufacturing plant. Large-scale manufacturing inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. We regularly review inventories on hand and record a charge for slow-moving and obsolete inventory, inventory not meeting quality standards and inventory subject to expiration. The charge for slow-moving and obsolete inventory is based on current estimates of future product demand, market conditions and related management judgment. Any significant unanticipated changes in future product demand or market conditions that vary from current expectations could have an impact on the value of inventories. Total inventories recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $26.0 million and $27.1 million, respectively. We recorded charges to reduce obsolete inventory balances of $0.9 million, $1.4 million and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes

Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining our tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties and the need for valuation allowances. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust the balances as new information becomes available. Our income tax rate is significantly affected by the tax rates on our international operations, each of which are subject to local country tax laws and regulations.

Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. Such assets arise because of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions and credits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings with focus on our U.S. operations and available tax planning strategies. These sources of

40

income inherently rely heavily on estimates. To the extent we do not consider it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is established. We use our historical experience and our short and long-range business forecasts to provide insight. Amounts recorded for deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, were $22.1 million and $22.6 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such 2011 year-end amounts are expected to be fully recoverable within the applicable statutory expiration periods.

Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has fallen below its carrying amount. Factors we consider important that 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, as well as to the aggregate of reporting unit fair values.

Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, which is estimated based on a variety of techniques. In applying this methodology, we rely on a number of factors and assumptions, including actual operating results, future business plans, economic projections, market data, and discount rates.

If this analysis indicates goodwill may be impaired, measuring the impairment requires a fair value estimate of each identified and previously unidentified tangible and intangible asset. In this case, we supplement the cash flow approach discussed above, including the use of independent appraisals, if deemed necessary.

Based upon the results of the valuation procedures performed at October 1, 2011, the carrying value of the DDS segment exceeded its fair value which was an impairment indicator. In order to assess the estimated amount of impairment the Company performed the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step involved an analysis reflecting the allocation of the fair value of the DDS segment as calculated in the first step to its assets and liabilities, including an assessment of whether there were any previously unidentified intangible assets in connection with DDS. Based on the results of these procedures, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 in the DDS segment. Total goodwill recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 was $0.

Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Factors we consider 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.

Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which undiscounted cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount, and the asset’s residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value, which is based on the best information available. We derive the required undiscounted cash flow estimates from our historical experience, internal business plans and our understanding of current marketplace valuation estimates. To determine fair value, we use our internal cash flow estimates discounted at an appropriate interest rate, quoted market prices when available and independent appraisals, as appropriate.

41

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $4.7 million in our DDS segment associated with the Company’s decision to terminate its lease and exit one of its U.S. facilities as part of the overall initiative to reduce the Company’s workforce, right size capacity, and reduce operating costs.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

We utilize actuarial models to measure pension and postretirement benefit obligations and related effects on operations. Three assumptions — discount rate, expected return on assets, and trends in healthcare costs — are important elements of plan expense and asset/liability measurement. We evaluate these critical assumptions at least annually. We periodically evaluate other assumptions involving demographic factors, such as retirement age, mortality and turnover, and update them to reflect our experience and expectations for the future. Actual results in any given year will often differ from actuarial assumptions because of economic and other factors.

Accumulated and projected benefit obligations are expressed as the present value of future cash payments. We discount those cash payments using the weighted average of market-observed yields for high quality fixed income securities with maturities that correspond to the payment of benefits. Lower discount rates increase present values; higher discount rates decrease present values.

Our discount rates for our pension plan at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were 4.00%, 5.10% and 5.65%, respectively, reflecting market interest rates.

To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, we consider current and expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected returns on various categories of plan assets. In developing future return expectations for our pension plan’s assets, we evaluate general market trends as well as key elements of asset class returns such as expected earnings growth, yields and spreads across a number of potential scenarios. In 2011 and 2010, assets in our pension plan earned 4.9% and 11.2%, respectively. Based on our analysis of future expectations of asset performance, past return results, and our current and expected asset allocations, we have assumed an 8.0% long-term expected return on those assets.

Healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for our postretirement welfare plan. Due to the fact that no retirees are currently covered by the Postretirement Welfare Plan, survey data is reviewed for industry averages. Based on this review, a trend of a 10% annual cost increase grading to an ultimate rate of 5% is within industry norms.

Loss Contingencies

Other loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will materially exceed the recorded provision. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties such as regulators. The Company enlists the technical expertise of its internal resources in evaluating current exposures and potential outcomes, and will utilize third party subject matter experts to supplement these assessments as circumstances dictate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. This Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified

42

to net income. ASU 2011-05 will be applied retrospectively. ASU 2011-05 was originally effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. However, ASU No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”, deferred the changes of ASU 2011-05 relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments and supercedes certain pending paragraphs of ASU 2011-05. Early adoption is permitted. This adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU No. 2011-08 amends ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Others,” to allow an initial qualitative assessment of relative events and circumstances to determine if fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying value, prior to performing the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and will be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have market risk with respect to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in these rates as discussed below.

The Company has facilities in Singapore, India, Hungary and the United Kingdom and therefore is subject to foreign currency risk. This risk is composed of both potential losses from the translation of foreign currency financial statements and the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions. The total net assets of non-U.S. operations denominated in non-functional currencies subject to potential loss amount to approximately $34.1 million. The potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates amounts to approximately $3.4 million. Furthermore, related to foreign currency transactions, the Company has exposure to non-functional currency balances totaling approximately $11.4 million. This amount includes, on an absolute basis, exposures to foreign currency assets and liabilities. On a net basis, the Company had approximately $11.4 million of foreign currency assets as of December 31, 2011. As currency rates change, these non-functional currency balances are revalued, and the corresponding adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. A hypothetical change of 10% in currency rates could result in an adjustment to the consolidated statement of operations of approximately $1.1 million.

With respect to interest rates, the risk is composed of changes in future cash flows due to changes in interest rates on our variable rate $2.6 million line of credit and $3.3 million industrial development authority bonds. The potential loss in 2012 cash flows from a 10% adverse change in quoted interest rates would approximate fifteen thousand dollars.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)  Evaluation of 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 period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation the Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011.

(b)  Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and, that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and

• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed as of December 31, 2011 the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 was effective.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2011, which is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.

(c)  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely

to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting other than changes made in conjunction with certain efforts to remediate the previously identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

(d)  Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

With respect to the previously disclosed material weakness, as discussed in Item 9A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we designed our remediation efforts, as outlined below, to address the material weakness identified by management and to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. In 2011, we implemented the following remediation steps to address the previously disclosed material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting:

• Improved tax accounting procedures for the calculation and reconciliation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities including validation of underlying supporting data; and

• Enhanced the quarterly and annual review processes for significant and complex matters related to the tax provision by engaging external tax experts to support the Company’s financial closing and reporting process.

As of December 31, 2011, management has evaluated the remedial action, reviewed the associated controls and found the controls to be operating effectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Albany Molecular Research, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Albany Molecular Research, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive (loss) income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(b)). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

F-2

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Albany Molecular Research, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also in our opinion, Albany Molecular Research, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business:

Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (the “Company”) provides scientific services, technologies and products focused on improving the quality of life. With locations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, the Company provides customers with a range of services and cost models. The Company’s core business consists of a fee-for-service contract services platform encompassing drug discovery, development and manufacturing. The Company also owns a portfolio of proprietary technologies which have resulted from its internal programs, including drug discovery and niche generic products and manufacturing process efficiencies, some of which are licensed to third parties, and some of which benefit the Company’s operations.

Basis of Presentation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (“AMRI”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation. When necessary, prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 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. Gains or losses resulting from translating non-U.S. currency financial statements are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying December 31, 2011 and 2010 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, the fair value of goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets, the estimated fair values of net assets acquired in business combinations and the amount and realizabilty of deferred tax assets. Other significant estimates include assumptions utilized in determining actuarial obligations in conjunction with the Company’s pension and postretirement health plans, the estimation of restructuring charges, assumptions utilized in determining stock-based compensation, and assumptions associated with legal contingencies. 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 the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” and 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.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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 amounts due have been collected.

Up-Front License Fees and Milestone 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.  Recurring royalties consist of royalties under a license agreement with Sanofi based on the worldwide sales of fexofenadine HCl, marketed as Allegra in the Americas and Telfast elsewhere, as well as on sales of Sanofi’s authorized generics. The Company records royalty revenue in the period in which the sales of Allegra/Telfast occur, because it can reasonably estimate such royalties. Royalty payments from Sanofi 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 had a fixed royalty amount through July 2010. Thereafter, the royalty rate has reverted to the rate in effect prior to the signing of the sub-license amendment and the Company will also receive a royalty on Teva Pharmaceuticals’ sales of the generic D-12.

Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts and overnight deposits. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated receivable losses. Management reviews outstanding receivable balances on a regular basis in order to assess the collectibility of these balances, and adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. The allowance and related accounts receivable are reduced when the account is deemed uncollectible.

Inventory:

Inventory consists primarily of commercially available fine chemicals used as raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods in the Company’s large-scale manufacturing plant. Large-scale manufacturing inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company writes down inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Any such write-down results in a charge to operations.

Marketable Securities:

Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The amortized cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income or expense. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are included in other income or expense. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest on securities classified as available-for-sale is included in interest income.

Included in marketable securities at December 31, 2011 and 2010, are $0 and $2,100, respectively, of auction rate municipal bonds, classified as available-for-sale securities.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost or, if acquired as part of a business combination, at fair value. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. When assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the applicable costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.

Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. Accelerated methods of depreciation have been used for income tax purposes.

The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment over the following estimated useful lives:

Laboratory equipment and fixtures		7 – 18 years
Office equipment		3 – 7 years
Computer equipment		3 – 5 years
Buildings		39 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the life of the asset or the lease term.

Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries:

The Company maintains an equity investment in a company that has operations in areas within the Company’s strategic focus. This investment is in a leveraged start-up company and was recorded at historical cost.

The Company records an impairment charge when an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other-than-temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in the Company’s inability to recover the carrying value of the investments thereby requiring an impairment charge in the future.

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; or

• 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 its fair value and will reduce only the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets.

Goodwill:

The Company performs an annual assessment of the carrying value of goodwill for potential impairment (or on an interim basis if certain triggering events occur) at October 1st. A determination of impairment is made based upon 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

See Note 8 for further information on the Company’s goodwill balances.

Patents, Patent Application Costs and Customer Relationships:

The costs of patents issued and acquired are being amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated remaining lives of the issued patents. Patent application and processing costs are capitalized and will be amortized over the estimated life once a patent is acquired or expensed in the period the patent application is denied or the related appeal process has been exhausted.

Customer relationships acquired are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit from these relationships.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

Pension and Postretirement Benefits:

The Company maintains pension and post-retirement benefit costs and liabilities that are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including discount rates and expected return on plan assets, which are updated on an annual basis. The Company is required to consider current market conditions, including changes in interest rates, in making these assumptions. Changes in the related pension and post-retirement benefit costs may occur in the future due to changes in the assumptions.

Loss Contingencies:

Loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will be material. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties such as regulators. The Company enlists the technical expertise of its internal resources in evaluating current exposures and potential outcomes, and will utilize third party subject matter experts to supplement these assessments as circumstances dictate.

Research and Development:

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.

Income Taxes:

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for when it is determined that deferred tax assets are not recoverable based on an assessment of estimated future taxable income that incorporates ongoing, prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies.

Additionally, 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.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation”. The Company establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and recognizes expense over the applicable vesting period.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	2011			2010			2009
Expected life in years:		5			5			5
Interest rate		1.20	%		2.27	%		1.98	%
Volatility		57	%		46	%		48	%
Dividend yield		—			—			—

Earnings Per Share:

The Company computes net (loss) earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260-20 “Earnings per Share”. Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share would reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company (such as stock options).

Both basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 29,961, 30,657 and 31,062 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Both basic and diluted loss per share were $(1.08), $(2.05) and $(0.54) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The weighted average number of anti-dilutive options outstanding was 1,852, 1,872 and 2,049 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Restructuring Charges:

The Company accounts for its restructuring costs as required by ASC 420-10, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, which requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred, except for one-time termination benefits that meet certain requirements.

2. Business Combinations

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 $29,098. AMRI Burlington provides high value-added contract manufacturing services in sterile syringe and vial filling using specialized technologies including lyophilization. AMRI Burlington provides these services for both small molecule drug products and biologicals, from clinical phase to commercial scale. AMRI Burlington is part of the Company’s Large Scale Manufacturing (“LSM”) segment.

On February 17, 2010, the Company completed the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of Excelsyn Ltd. (“AMRI UK”), a chemical development and manufacturing facility located in Holywell, United Kingdom. The aggregate purchase price was $17,982. AMRI UK 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 AMRI UK expanded 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. AMRI UK includes operations that are part of the Company’s LSM segment as well as operations that are part of the Company’s Discovery/Development/Small Scale Manufacturing (“DDS”) segment.

2. Business Combinations  – (continued)

In conjunction with the acquisitions of AMRI UK and AMRI Burlington, the Company has recorded the fair value of the assets and liabilities of these entities at the time of acquisition and has allocated the respective purchase price accordingly. The Company has finalized the purchase price allocation for these acquisitions subject to the final resolution of certain limited contingencies related to the release of purchase price proceeds between the Company and the former owners which are held in escrow. The Company resolved the contingencies related to the AMRI UK acquisition in the first quarter of 2011. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized net gains related to purchase accounting adjustments of $292 in other (expense) income, net in the statement of operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the LSM segment of a portion of the above noted goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 2011, an impairment charge was recorded in the DDS segment for the remaining goodwill balance. See Note 8 for further information.

On August 18, 2010, the Company received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in conjunction with the FDA’s inspection of the Company’s AMRI Burlington manufacturing facility in March 2010 and which identified three significant observations. According to the warning letter, these observations may have caused drug product(s) to be adulterated in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, processing, packing or holding did not conform to, or were not operated or administered in conformity with cGMP. The warning letter did not restrict production or shipment of products from the facility, however the Company voluntarily suspended cGMP production for a period of time while undertaking remediation steps to address the FDA’s observations. Although cGMP operations resumed in May 2011, the suspension of production has had a material adverse effect on the Company’s business operations and cash flow.

The Company has been working to resolve the issues identified in the warning letter. In May, 2011, the Company provided the FDA with its final update pertaining to the warning letter. From June 8, 2011 through June 28, 2011, the FDA conducted a re-inspection of the Company’s Burlington facility. On June 28, 2011, the FDA issued a Form 483 report to the Company which included 7 inspectional observations. The Company provided a response to the FDA’s Form 483 report on July 20, 2011. On September 13, 2011, the Company received a letter from the FDA regarding the Company’s response stating that corrective actions proposed by the Company, once fully implemented, should adequately address the observations made by the FDA investigators. The letter also indicated that the Company’s corrective actions will be verified by the FDA at the next facility inspection. The Company believes that the corrective actions have now been fully implemented. The Company will continue the manufacturing operations currently ongoing at the Burlington site, including GMP operations. There can be no assurance that the FDA will be satisfied with the response or will not identify additional issues on re-inspection. Failure to promptly correct these violations as required by the FDA may result in legal action without further notice including, without limitation, seizure and injunction. Other federal agencies may take the FDA warning letter into account when considering the award of contracts. Additionally, the FDA may withhold approval of requests for export certificate, or approval of pending drug applications listing the Burlington facility until the above violations are corrected. In addition, certain customers who claim to be adversely impacted by the FDA warning letter and the Company’s inability to fulfill its contractual commitments may bring legal action against the Company. Any such actions could significantly disrupt the Company’s business and operations and have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and operating results.

Termination benefits and personnel realignment costs relate to severance packages, outplacement services, and career counseling for employees affected by the restructuring. Lease termination charges relate to costs associated with exiting the facility, net of estimated sublease income.

Anticipated cash outflows related to the restructuring for 2012 is approximately $1,608.

AMRI U.S.

In May 2010, the Company initiated a restructuring of its AMRI U.S. locations. As part of its strategy to increase global competitiveness and continue to be diligent in managing costs, the Company implemented 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 were consolidated into other nearby Company operations. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $3,223 in 2010. This charge included lease termination charges of $2,182 (net of estimated sublease income), termination benefits and personnel realignment costs of $833 and facility and other costs of $208.

Additionally, in March 2011, the Company reduced its workforce to right-size its U.S. operations, primarily focused on discovery chemistry services due to the shift in demand for these types of services to the Company’s lower cost operations in Asia. In connection with this reduction, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $951 for termination benefits. These restructuring activities were recorded within the Company’s DDS operating segment.

3. Restructuring  – (continued)

In December 2011, the Company initiated a restructuring plan at one of its U.S. locations which included actions to further reduce the Company’s workforce, right size capacity, and reduce operating costs. These actions were implemented to better align the business to current and expected market conditions and are expected to improve the Company’s overall cost competitiveness and increase cash flow generation. The workforce reduction primarily affected certain positions associated with the Company’s elimination of internal R&D activities. As a result of the workforce reduction, the Company will be terminating the lease of one of its U.S. facilities which will result in a reduction in annual operating expenses related to this facility. As a result of this restructuring, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $320 in the DDS operating segment.

International

In December 2009, the Company initiated a restructuring of its AMRI India locations which consisted of closing and consolidating its Mumbai administrative office into its Hyderabad location as part of the Company’s goal to streamline operations and eliminate duplicate administrative functions. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $364 in the fourth quarter of 2009, including lease termination charges of $215, leasehold improvement abandonment charges of $107 and administrative costs of $42. The AMRI India restructuring activity was recorded in the Company’s LSM operating segment.

4. Inventory

	$	212	$	214	$	15,700	$	15,734

At December 31, 2011, there were no temporarily impaired securities. At December 31, 2010, the fair value of six securities impaired for less than twelve months was $2,382 with an associated unrealized loss of $14, all of which were classified as obligations of states and political subdivisions. There were no securities impaired for twelve months or longer.

The unrealized losses of the temporarily impaired securities at December 31, 2010 did not reflect any deterioration of the credit worthiness of the issuing entities. No security has a rating that is below “A1.” The unrealized losses on these temporarily impaired securities were the result of changes in interest rates for fixed-rate securities where the interest rate received was less than the current rate available for new offerings of similar securities and changes in market spreads as a result of shifts in supply and demand.

The Company received proceeds from sales and maturities of $16,044 and $21,756 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded realized losses of $185, $0 and $0 from maturities and sales of available-for-sale securities during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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 December 31, 2011:

	Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2011
Marketable Securities	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Obligations of states and political subdivisions	$	214	$	—	$	214	$	—

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments  – (continued)

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 December 31, 2010:

	Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2010
Marketable Securities	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Obligations of states and political subdivisions	$	13,634	$	—	$	13,634	$	—
Auction rate securities		2,100		—		2,100		—
Total	$	15,734	$	—	$	15,734	$	—

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 December 31, 2011 and 2010 due to the resetting dates of the variable interest rates.

Nonrecurring Measurements:

The Company has assets, including goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, and equity method investments which are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. If certain triggering events occur such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial instrument be recorded at the lower of historical cost or its fair value.

The fair values of these assets are then determined by the application of a discounted cash flow model using Level 3 inputs. Cash flows are determined based on Company estimates of future operating results, and estimates of market participant weighted average costs of capital (“WACC”) are used as a basis for determining the discount rates to apply the future expected cash flows, adjusted for the risks and uncertainty inherent in the Company’s internally developed forecasts.

Although the fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in current market exchanges.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $4,674 in its DDS segment associated with the Company’s decision to terminate its lease and exit one of its U.S. facilities as part of the overall initiative to reduce the Company’s workforce, right size capacity, and reduce operating costs in 2012.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments  – (continued)

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $4,848. As a result of realigning some of the AMRI U.S. operating activities, 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. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a $6,000 impairment charge once it was determined that the carrying value of certain assets at its AMRI India location used in the manufacturing of generic products was not recoverable based on projections of future revenues and cash flows expected to be derived from the use of these assets. 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, including scientific personnel costs, materials, facility costs, and selling and administrative support costs.

These long-lived asset impairment charges are included under the caption “Property and equipment impairment” in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Additionally, in 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded impairment charges associated with goodwill and other intangible assets. See note 8 for further information related to these charges.

7. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of the following:

	December 31,
	2011			2010
Laboratory equipment and fixtures	$	147,215		$	142,860
Office equipment		30,446			29,814

	$	149,796		$	163,212

Depreciation and amortization expense of property and equipment was approximately $16,754, $16,643 and $16,507 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As discussed in Note 6, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $4,674 and $10,848 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

In accordance with ASC 350-20-35, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. The Company determines its reporting units by first identifying its operating segments, and then assesses whether any components of these segments constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and where segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company aggregates components within an operating segment that have similar economic characteristics. For the Company’s annual impairment assessment, it has identified its reporting units to be two operating segments, the DDS segment and the LSM segment. The Company’s 2011 annual impairment test was limited to the DDS segment, as there was no remaining goodwill in the LSM segment as of the annual impairment test date.

The selection of a valuation methodology is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the valuation, including the segment being valued and the timing of the valuation. In performing the current year annual impairment test, the fair value of certain cash flow streams within the Company’s DDS segment were determined using the income approach. For purposes of the income approach, fair value was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate (“DCF analysis”). The Company made assumptions about the amount and timing of future expected cash flows, terminal value growth rates and appropriate discount rates. The amount and timing of future cash flows within the Company’s DCF analysis is based on its most recent operational budgets, long range strategic plans and other estimates. The terminal value growth rate is used to calculate the value of cash flows beyond the last projected period in the Company’s DCF analysis and reflects its best estimates for stable, perpetual growth of its reporting units. Actual results may differ from those assumed in the Company’s forecasts. The Company uses estimates of market participant weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as a basis for determining the discount rates to apply to its reporting units’ future expected cash flows, adjusted for the risks and uncertainty inherent in its industry generally and in its internally developed forecasts.

For certain other cash flow streams within the segment, the fair value was determined, in part, by evaluating the valuation metrics of comparable publicly traded companies and evaluating enterprise values derived from recent arms-length transactions involving comparable companies. The Company also determined the fair value derived from the tangible book value of the assets associated with these cash flow streams and weighted this fair value equally with the fair values derived from the market-based methodologies noted above. The Company believes that it is reasonable to include tangible book value as an indication of the potential liquidation value of the subject.

2011 Impairment

Based upon the results of the valuation procedures performed, there was an indication of impairment, as the carrying value of the DDS segment exceeded its fair value. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company experienced significantly lower than forecasted demand for DDS contract services. As a result, the Company decreased the long term estimates of operating results and cash flows utilized in performing the annual impairment test. In order to assess the estimated amount of impairment the Company performed the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step involved an analysis reflecting the allocation of the fair value of the DDS segment as calculated in the first step to its assets and liabilities, including an assessment of whether there were any previously unidentified intangible assets in connection with DDS. Based on the results of these procedures, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $15,812 for the year ended December 31, 2011 in the DDS segment. Total goodwill recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 was $0.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets  – (continued)

2010 Impairment

The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge in 2010 of $36,844 in the LSM segment. In the fourth quarter of 2010 several events occurred in the LSM segment that significantly impacted the Company’s long-term forecast for this segment. The UK facility was notified of an unplanned elimination in demand for a key commercial product, which has historically represented a significant portion of annual revenues at the site. In addition, the FDA warning letter issued to the AMRI Burlington facility was expected to have both negative short-term financial impact during the remediation process, as well as delaying the planned synergies expected to be derived from the AMRI Burlington business into the Company’s overall LSM platform and the forecasted resulting growth in the long term. The impacts on cash flow from the current revenue, expense and capital expenditure forecasts, combined with an increase in discount rates used in the DCF analysis due to increases in the Company-specific risk premium included in the discount rate, resulted in a calculated fair value of the LSM segment being less than its carrying value.

2009 Impairment

The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge in 2009 of $22,900 in the LSM segment. In the fourth quarter of 2009 several events occurred in the LSM segment that significantly impacted the Company’s long-term forecast for this segment. Two phase III customers’ products that were expected to receive FDA approval were delayed, one by the FDA requiring more information and one by the customer in an effort to proactively collect more data before submitting to the FDA. It was expected throughout 2009 that commercial manufacturing would commence on both these products at the Rensselaer LSM facility beginning in 2010, but manufacturing was delayed. In addition, the Company was notified of additional unexpected reductions in demand for product by its largest customer, GE Healthcare. These additional unplanned demand reductions in the fourth quarter of 2009 added an element of increased risk related to the Company’s ability to achieve the revenue forecasts that are reflected in the long-term projections for the segment. The impacts on cash flow from the current revenue, expense and capital expenditure forecasts, combined with an increase in discount rates used in the DCF analysis due to increases in observed market participant WACC and the Company-specific risk premium included in the discount rate, resulted in a calculated fair value of the LSM segment being less than its carrying value.

The following table represents the activity in goodwill:

9. Long-Term Debt

In June 2011, the Company finalized the renegotiation of its credit agreement, which included repayment of $2,662 of the then outstanding line of credit. The remaining $7,000 of the outstanding line of credit was converted into a term loan with a maturity date of June 2012 and quarterly repayments of $400. Additionally, in connection with the new debt agreement, the Company provided security to the bank group in the form of a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets located in the United States.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company was not in compliance with one of the financial covenant requirements. As a result, the Company received a waiver from the lenders and additionally amended the above credit agreement effective November 29, 2011 which increased the effective interest rate, limited any further borrowings, required that the Company diligently seek refinancing of this debt agreement with a commitment for such to be obtained by March 31, 2012 and required the further repayment of $3,000 in December 2011 and another $800 of such obligations in the first quarter of 2012 with the remaining outstanding balance to be repaid in June 2012, upon its maturity date. In addition, certain of the restrictive

covenants were revised and as of such date the Company is only required to comply with certain cash maintenance requirements and to limit its capital expenditures. Covenants related to maintaining earnings levels were removed in the December 2011 amendment. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $6,770 of outstanding letters of credit secured by the line of credit. These letters of credit will not be extended or renewed upon their expiration.

The Company is in the process of negotiating a 4-year credit agreement with a new bank which would serve to replace the current line of credit. The Company expects that the new agreement will have covenants that require the Company to maintain minimum levels of cash, limit capital expenditures to historical amounts and require the Company to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. In the event that the Company is not able to finalize such new agreement, or if the Company fails to meet the terms of the new agreement, there could be a material and adverse effect on its business and operations.

The balance outstanding on the term loan was $2,550, bearing interest at a rate of 5.2% at December 31, 2011. The interest rate reset based upon current LIBOR rates on January 13, 2012 to a rate of 5.3%. The Company was in compliance with the existing financial covenant requirements as of December 31, 2011.

The Company maintains variable interest rate industrial development authority (“IDA”) bonds due in increasing annual installments through 2021. Interest payments are due monthly with a current interest rate of 0.55% at December 31, 2011. The full amount outstanding on these bonds is secured by a direct pay letter of credit. A default under the terms of the current credit agreement would trigger a cross default of the credit and reimbursement agreement with the IDA bonds. The amount outstanding as of December 31, 2011 was $3,275.

The tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Prepaid real estate taxes		(241	)		(186	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	6,869		$	5,480

The preceding table does not include deferred tax liabilities of $1 and $14 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, associated with the Company’s net unrealized losses/gains on investment securities discussed in Note 5 and deferred tax assets of $3,551 and $2,664 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, associated the Company’s pension liability as discussed in Note 12. The Company has tax-effected foreign net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $3,796, which begin to expire in various years beginning in 2013 and tax-effected foreign NOLs of $4,832 which do not expire. The Company has a tax-effected U.S. federal NOLs of $1,662 that expires in 2031 and a tax-effected US state NOLs of $1,478 that begin to expire in 2030.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and carry back opportunities in making this assessment. Based upon the level of projected future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, a valuation allowance is included in deferred tax assets above as follows:

	December 31, 2011		December 31, 2010
Federal	$	945	$	945
State credits		6,526		5,066
Foreign		8,743		7,102

10. Income Taxes  – (continued)

The Company has determined that the remaining net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, and therefore no additional valuation allowance is required. This determination was based on the evaluation of the recoverability of these future tax deductions and credits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences and forecasted operating earnings with focus on the Company’s U.S. operations. The change in the valuation allowance during 2011 is related to increases in tax attributes in taxing jurisdictions where the Company does not project sufficient taxable income to utilize these attributes. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	2011		2010
Balance at January 1	$	—	$	529
Increases related to prior year tax positions		326		—
Decreases related to prior year tax positions		—		(529	)
Balance at December 31	$	326	$	—

The Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2011 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. Also as of December 31, 2011, the Company has not accrued any interest related to its uncertain tax positions as the amount is immaterial.

The Company files Federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state and foreign jurisdiction tax returns. The Company currently has a tax holiday in Singapore through the end of 2015, resulting in a zero tax rate on current income in Singapore. 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 matters have been concluded for years through 2007 and foreign matters have been concluded for years through 2005. Tax examinations that commenced during 2010 and 2011 remain in process. Management of the Company believes that the Company’s exposure associated with future tax examinations is not material.

The Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries totaling $13,673 because management considers such earnings to be reinvested indefinitely outside of the U.S. If the earnings are distributed in the future, 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, however calculations of the potential tax liability is not practicable as of December 31, 2011.

11. Share-based Compensation

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized total share based compensation cost of $1,639, $1,706 and $2,134, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, cash received from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan purchases was $671 and $592, respectively.

The following are the shares of common stock reserved for issuance at December 31, 2011:

11. Share-based Compensation  – (continued)

Share Repurchase Program

On June 21, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, which authorized the Company to purchase up to $10,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the open market or in private transactions. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had repurchased 1,587 shares totaling $10,000. No shares were repurchased in 2011.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) was adopted during August 1998 and amended in November 2010 and again in June 2011. Up to 1,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the Purchase Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Purchase Plan establishes two stock offering periods per calendar year, the first beginning on January 1 and ending on June 30, and the second beginning on July 1 and ending December 31. All U.S. employees who work more than 20 hours per week are eligible for participation in the Purchase Plan. Employees who are deemed to own greater than 5% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company are not eligible for participation in the Purchase Plan.

During each offering, an employee may purchase shares under the Purchase Plan by authorizing payroll deductions up to 10% of their cash compensation during the offering period. The maximum number of shares to be issued to any single employee during an offering period is limited to two thousand shares. At the end of the offering period, the accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase common stock on the last business day of the offering period at a price equal to 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower.

The 15% discount and the look-back feature are considered compensatory items for which expense must be recognized. The Company values Purchase Plan shares as a combination position consisting of 15% of a share of nonvested stock and 85% of a six-month stock option. The value of the nonvested stock is estimated based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning of the offering period. The value of the stock option is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model using historical expected volatility percentages, a risk free interest rate equal to the six-month U.S. Treasury rate at the beginning of the offering period, and an expected life of six months. The resulting per-share value is multiplied by the shares estimated to be purchased during the offering period based on historical experience to arrive at a total estimated compensation cost for the offering period. The estimated compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the offering period.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 137, 88 and 49 shares, respectively, were issued under the Purchase Plan.

Stock Option Plan

The Company has a Stock Option Plan, through which incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, as well as other equity instruments such as restricted shares, may be issued. In addition, certain stock options are outstanding which were issued under stock option plans that have subsequently expired. Incentive stock options granted to employees may not be granted at prices less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of option grant. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to employees, directors, advisors, consultants and other key persons of the Company at prices established at the date of grant, and may be less than the fair market value at the date of grant. All stock options may be exercised at any time, after vesting, over a ten-year period subsequent to the date of grant. The Company has a variety of vesting schedules for the stock options that have been granted to employees and non-employees directors. The Company has elected to record the compensation expense associated with these options on a

straight-line basis over the vesting term. Non-qualified stock option vesting terms are established at the date of grant, but have a duration of not more than ten years.

Following is a summary of the status of stock option programs during 2011, 2010 and 2009:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Options exercisable, December 31, 2011		1,058		$	14.15		3.3	$	—

The weighted average fair value per share of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $1.49, $3.02 and $3.74, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $0, $0 and $5, respectively. The actual tax expense realized for the tax deductions from stock option exercises was $270 and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

As of December 31, 2011, there was $2,408 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $527, $563 and $326, respectively.

Restricted Stock

The Company also issues restricted shares of common stock to employees of the Company under the 2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The shares are issued as restricted stock and are held in the custody of the Company until all vesting restrictions are satisfied. If the vesting terms under which the award was granted are not satisfied, the shares are forfeited. Restricted stock is valued based on the fair value of the shares on the grant date, and is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period. The Company reduces the straight-line compensation expense by an estimated forfeiture rate to account for the estimated impact of shares of restricted stock that are expected to be forfeited before becoming fully vested. This estimate is based on the Company’s historical forfeiture experience.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of restricted stock issued of $1,647 and $1,439, respectively, was based on the fair value of the shares on the grant date and amortized over the applicable vesting period. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, a total of 124 and 78 shares, respectively, with an unrecognized compensation expense of $996 and $724, respectively, were forfeited. The amount amortized to expense during years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, net of the impact of forfeitures, was approximately $861, $1,141 and $1,369, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, there was $2,691 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted shares. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

Shareholder Rights Plan

The Company has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan, the purpose of which is, among other things, to enhance the Board of Directors’ ability to protect shareholder interests and to ensure that shareholders receive fair treatment in the event any coercive takeover attempt of the Company is made in the future. The Shareholder Rights Plan could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, the Company or a large block of the Company’s Common Stock. The following summary description of the Shareholder Rights Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Shareholder Rights Plan, which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A.

In connection with the adoption of the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 19, 2002. The Rights currently are not exercisable and are attached to and trade with the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Under the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Rights become exercisable if a person becomes an “acquiring person” by acquiring 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or if a person commences a tender offer that would result in that person owning 15% or more of the Common Stock. A stockholder owning 15% or more of the common stock of the Company as of September 19, 2002, is “grandfathered” under the Shareholder Rights Plan and will become an “acquiring person” upon acquiring an additional ½% of the Common Stock. If a person becomes an “acquiring person,” each holder of a Right (other than the acquiring person) would be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, such number of shares of the

Company’s preferred stock which are equivalent to shares of Common Stock having twice the exercise price of the Right. If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after any such event, each holder of a Right would then be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, shares of the acquiring company’s common stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right. The Shareholder Rights Plan was amended on March 23, 2011 in order to allow the Board of Directors to grant equity awards to Dr. Thomas D’Ambra, the Company’s CEO, without the granting, vesting or exercise of those awards resulting in an inadvertent triggering of the Shareholder Rights Plan.

12. Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company maintains a savings and profit sharing plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering all eligible U.S. non-union employees. Employees must complete one calendar month of service and be over 20.5 years of age as of the plan’s entry dates. Participants may contribute up to 100% of their compensation, subject to IRS limitations. The Company currently makes matching contributions equal to 50% of the participants’ contributions, up to a limit of 10% of the participants’ wages. In addition, the Company has reserved the right to make discretionary profit sharing contributions to employee accounts. The Company has made no discretionary profit sharing contributions. Employer matching contributions vest at a rate of 20% per year beginning after two years of participation in the plan. Employer matching contributions were approximately $1,765, $1,780 and $1,927 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company also sponsors a savings and profit sharing plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering union employees. Employees must complete one calendar month of service and there is no age requirement as of the plan’s entry dates. Participants may contribute up to 100% of their regular wages, subject to IRS limitations, and the Company matches 50% of each dollar contributed by the employee up to 10% of their wages. In addition, the Company has reserved the right to make discretionary profit sharing contributions to employee accounts. The Company has made no discretionary profit sharing contributions. Employer matching contributions vest at a rate of 20% per year beginning after two years of participation in the plan, however the employer match under this plan does not begin until the employee completes one year of service. Employer matching contributions were $127, $129 and $138 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Defined Benefit and Postretirement Welfare Plan

AMRI Rensselaer maintains a non-contributory defined benefit plan (salaried and hourly) and a non-contributory, unfunded post-retirement welfare plan, covering substantially all employees. Benefits for the salaried defined benefit plan are based on salary and years of service. Benefits for the hourly defined benefit plan (for union employees) are based on negotiated benefits and years of service. The hourly defined benefit plan is covered under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Chemical Workers Union which represents the hourly workforce at AMRI Rensselaer.

Effective June 5, 2003, the Company eliminated the accumulation of additional future benefits under the non-contributory, unfunded post-retirement welfare plan for salaried employees. Effective August 1, 2003, the Company curtailed the salaried defined benefit pension plan and effective March 1, 2004, the Company curtailed the hourly defined benefit pension plan.

The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of its postretirement plans in the statement of financial position and recognizes changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur. Additionally, the Company is required to measure the funded status of a plan as of the end of its fiscal year.

12. Employee Benefit Plans  – (continued)

In 2012, the Company expects to amortize $1 of prior service cost and $837 of net actuarial loss from shareholders’ equity into postretirement benefit plan cost.

The following assumptions were used to determine the periodic pension cost for the defined benefit pension plans for the year ended December 31:

	2011			2010			2009
Discount rate		4.00	%		5.10	%		5.65	%
Expected return on plan assets		8.00	%		8.00	%		8.00	%
Rate of compensation increase		N/A			N/A			N/A

The discount rates utilized for determining the Company’s pension obligation and net periodic benefit cost were selected using high-quality long-term corporate bond indices as of the plan’s measurement date. The rate selected as a result of this process was substantiated by comparing it to the composite discount rate that produced a liability equal to the plan’s expected benefit payment stream discounted using the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve (“CPDC”). The CPDC was designed to provide a means for plan sponsors to value the liabilities of their postretirement benefit plans. The CPDC is a yield curve of hypothetical double-A zero coupon bonds with maturities up to 30 years. This curve includes adjustments to eliminate the call features of corporate bonds. As a result of this modeling process, the discount rate was 4.00% at December 31, 2011 and 5.10% at December 31, 2010.

The following assumptions were used to determine the periodic postretirement benefit cost for the postretirement welfare plan for the year ended December 31:

	2011			2010			2009
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year		10.0	%		10.0	%		10.0	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)		5.0	%		5.0	%		5.0	%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate		2017			2016			2015

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement welfare plan. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

	1-Percentage- Point Increase		1-Percentage- Point Decrease
Effect on total of service and interest cost	$	31	$	(24	)
Effect on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the year ended December 31, 2011	$	275	$	(208	)

The Company’s pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at December 31 by asset category are as follows:

	2011					2010
	Market Value		%			Market Value		%
Equity securities	$	7,067		40	%	$	7,678		44	%
Debt securities		8,498		49			7,622		44
Real Estate		892		5			916		5
Commodities		654		4			707		4
Other		342		2			477		3
Total	$	17,453		100	%	$	17,400		100	%

12. Employee Benefit Plans  – (continued)

Based on the three-tiered fair value hierarchy, all pension plan assets’ fair value can be determined by their quoted market price and therefore have been determined to be Level I as of December 31, 2011.

The overall objective of the Company’s defined benefit plans is to provide the means to pay benefits to participants and their beneficiaries in the amounts and at the times called for by the plan. This is expected to be achieved through the investment of the Company’s contributions and other assets and by utilizing investment policies designed to achieve adequate funding over a reasonable period of time.

Defined benefit plan assets are invested so as to achieve a competitive risk adjusted rate-of-return on portfolio assets, based on levels of liquidity and investment risk that is prudent and reasonable under circumstances which exist from time to time.

While the Company’s primary objective is the preservation of capital, it also adheres to the theory of capital market pricing which maintains that varying degrees of investment risk should be rewarded with compensating returns.

The asset allocation decision includes consideration of the non-investment aspects of the Company’s defined benefit plans, including future retirements, lump-sum elections, contributions, and cash flow. These actual characteristics of the plans place certain demands upon the level, risk, and required growth of trust assets. The Company regularly conducts analyses of the plans’ current and likely future financial status by forecasting assets, liabilities, benefits and contributions over time. In so doing, the impact of alternative investment policies upon the plans’ financial status is measured and an asset mix which balances asset returns and risk is selected. The Company’s Plan policies of preservation of capital, return expectations and investment diversification are all measured during these reviews to aid in the determination of asset class and risk allocation.

The Company’s decision with regard to asset mix is reviewed periodically. Asset mix guidelines include target allocations and permissible ranges for each asset category. Assets are monitored on an ongoing basis and rebalanced as required to maintain an asset mix within the permissible ranges. The guidelines will change from time to time, based on an ongoing evaluation of the plan’s tolerance of investment risk.

To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, the Company considers current and expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected returns on various categories of plan assets. In developing future return expectations for the Company’s pension plan’s assets, the Company evaluates general market trends as well as key elements of asset class returns such as expected earnings growth, yields and spreads across a number of potential scenarios.

The 2011 target allocation was as follows:

Equity securities		44	%
Debt securities		45
Real Estate		5
Commodities		4
Other		2
Total		100	%

The market-related value of plan assets is used in developing the expected rate of return on plan assets. In developing the expected rate of return, the market-related value of plan assets phases in recognition of capital appreciation by recognizing investment gains and losses over a four-year period at 25% per year.

13. Lease Commitments

The Company leases both facilities and equipment used in its operations and classifies those leases as operating leases. The Company has long-term operating leases for a substantial portion of its research and development laboratory facilities. The expiration dates on the present leases range from December 2012 to November 2020. The leases contain renewal options at the option of the Company. The Company is responsible for paying the cost of utilities, operating costs, and increases in property taxes at its leased facilities.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of December 31, 2011 are as follows:

Year ending December 31,
2012	$	5,780
2013		5,335
2014		5,140

Rental expense amounted to approximately $4,914, $4,204 and $3,659 during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

14. Equity Investments

The Company has entered into an equity investment with an entity in the Company’s area of strategic focus. The Company accounts for this investment using the cost method of accounting as the Company’s ownership interest in the investee is below 20% and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee.

The carrying value of equity investments at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $956.

16. Contingencies  – (continued)

In response to the filings described above, beginning in 2001, Aventis Pharmaceuticals (now Sanofi) filed patent infringement lawsuits against each of the above referenced companies. 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, Sanofi 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, along with Aventis Pharmaceuticals, filed suit in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey against a number of defendants asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,581,011 and 5,750,703, which are exclusively licensed to Aventis Pharmaceuticals and relate to Allegra and Allegra-D products. 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. That patent is licensed to Sanofi U.S. LLC and Sanofi U.S. LLC joined that lawsuit as a co-plaintiff with the Company.

On November 18, 2008, the Company, Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Barr Laboratories reached a settlement regarding the above-described patent infringement litigations relating to Teva Pharmaceuticals and Barr Laboratories (the “Teva Settlement”). As part of the Teva Settlement, the Company entered into an amendment to its licensing agreement with Sanofi to allow Sanofi 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 of $10 million, and Sanofi 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. The Company received 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 has reverted 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 Allegra D-12. The Company and Aventis Pharmaceuticals have also dismissed their claims against Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd./Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Sandoz, Inc. without prejudice.

On March 19, 2010, the Company and Sanofi filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey seeking to enjoin Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. from commercial distribution of a Allegra D-24 product based in that product infringing U.S. Patent No. 7,390,906. On June 14, 2010, the Company and Sanofi were granted a preliminary injunction restraining Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. from commercial distribution of a D-24 product. On January 13, 2011, the same court issued a decision interpreting the scope of the claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,390,906. Based on the court’s January 13, 2011 interpretation of the scope of a claim term in U.S. Patent No. 7,390,906, the Company does not presently have evidence sufficient to obtain a favorable outcome on its infringement claim against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. As a result, the Company, along with Sanofi, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd., and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., agreed to the court’s entry of an order on January 28, 2011, finding that there was no infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,390,906 based on the Court’s January 13, 2011 claim interpretation. The court’s January 28, 2011 order also dissolved the preliminary injunction that was entered on June 14, 2010. The Company and Sanofi U.S. LLC have proceeded directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to appeal the January 13, 2011 decision.

The January 13, 2011, decision also included an interpretation of the scope of the claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,750,703, and based on that interpretation, the Company does not presently have evidence sufficient to obtain a favorable outcome on its infringement claim against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd., Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., Amino Chemicals Ltd., Dipharma S.P.A., and Dipharma Francis Sr.l As a result, the Company, along with Sanofi, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd., Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. Amino Chemicals Ltd., Dipharma S.P.A., and Dipharma Francis Sr.l agreed to the court’s entry of an order on March 28, 2011, finding that there was no infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,750,703 based on the Court’s January 13, 2011 claim interpretation. The Company and Sanofi U.S. LLC have proceeded directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to appeal the January 13, 2011 decision.

In June 2011, the Company, Sanofi and Impax Laboratories, Inc. reached a settlement agreement of the above patent infringement litigation relating to Impax (“Impax Settlement”). In conjunction with the Impax Settlement, the Company and Sanofi agreed to amend their license agreement to allow Sanofi to sublicense patents related to ALLEGRA® and ALLEGRA®D-12 to Impax Laboratories, Inc. in the United States. Additionally, the Company, Sanofi, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Alphapharm reached a settlement agreement of the above patent infringement litigation relating to Mylan and the below noted litigation in Australia against Mylan affiliate Alphapharm (“Mylan Settlement”). In conjunction with the Mylan Settlement, the Company and Sanofi agreed to amend their license agreement to allow Sanofi to sublicense patents related to ALLEGRA® and ALLEGRA®D-12 to Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the United States.

International Litigations

In 2007, the Company filed patent infringement lawsuits in Australia against Alphapharm Pty Ltd., Arrow Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd, Chemists’ Own Pty Ltd, and Sigma Pharmaceuticals Limited based on Australian Patent No. 699,799. These matters were heard in a consolidated trial in November and December 2010. On February 17, 2011, the Court ruled that the defendants are not liable for infringement because the asserted claims of the Australian Patent No. 699,799 are invalid for lack of novelty and false suggestion. An appeal has been filed with regard to the ruling in the case against Arrow. The action against Alphapharm was settled as part of the Mylan Settlement, with Alphapharm receiving a sublicense to sell its products in Australia and New Zealand. Notwithstanding the court’s ruling of non-infringement, the Company continues to receive royalties on sales of the Allegra products in Australia, based on its rights under other patents.

At Risk Launches

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 United States litigation, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories has engaged in an at-risk launch of a generic fexofenadine single-entity product.

Environmental liabilities:

The Company has completed an environmental remediation assessment associated with groundwater contamination at its Rensselaer, NY location. Ongoing costs associated with the remediation include biannual monitoring and reporting to the State of New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Under the remediation plan, the Company is expected to pay for monitoring and reporting until 2014. Under a 1999 agreement with the facility’s previous owner, the Company’s maximum liability under the remediation is
