PART I

Item 1.    Business

        Biovail Corporation ("Biovail") was formed under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 18, 2000, as a result of the amalgamation of TXM Corporation and Biovail Corporation International. Biovail was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA") effective June 29, 2005. On September 28, 2010 (the "Merger Date"), Biovail completed the acquisition of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International ("Valeant") through a wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2010, with Valeant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, Biovail was renamed "Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc." The accompanying financial statements reflect Biovail's stand-alone operations as they existed prior to the completion of the Merger. The results of Valeant's business have been included in the financial statements only for periods subsequent to the completion of the Merger.

        Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to "we", "us", "our" or the "Company" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K"), we are referring to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Introduction

        We are a multinational, specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of pharmaceutical products. Our specialty pharmaceutical and over-the-counter ("OTC") products are marketed under brand names and are sold in the United States ("U.S."), Canada, Australia and New Zealand, where we focus most of our efforts on products in the dermatology and neurology therapeutic classes. We also have branded generic, branded, and OTC operations in Europe, Latin America, South East Asia and South Africa.

Business Strategy

        Since the Merger, our strategy has been to focus the business on core geographies and therapeutic classes, manage pipeline assets either internally or through strategic partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies and deploy cash with an appropriate mix of selective acquisitions, share buybacks and debt repurchases. We believe this strategy will allow us to improve both the growth rates and profitability of the Company and to enhance shareholder value, while exploiting the benefits of the Merger.

        Our leveraged research and development model is one key element to this business strategy. It will allow us to progress development programs to drive future commercial growth, while minimizing our research and development expense. This will be achieved in four ways:

•

structuring partnerships and collaborations so that our partners share development costs;

•

bringing products already developed for other markets to new territories;

•

acquiring dossiers and registrations for branded generic products, which require limited manufacturing start-up and development activities; and

•

selling internal development capabilities to third parties, thereby allowing higher utilization and infrastructure cost absorption.

Focused Diversification across Geographies, Therapeutic Areas and Products with Limited Patent Exposure

        We are diverse not only in our sources of revenue from our broad drug portfolio, but also among the therapeutic classes and geographic segments we serve. We focus on those businesses that we view to have the potential for strong operating margins and solid growth, while providing natural balance across geographies.

1

        In addition, we have an established portfolio of specialty pharmaceutical, branded generic and OTC products with a focus in the dermatology therapeutic areas. We believe dermatology is particularly attractive given that many of the products are:

•

generally relatively small on an individual basis (with the exception of Zovirax®), and therefore not the focus of larger pharmaceutical companies;

•

marked by a significant self-pay component, so that they are not as dependent on increasing reimbursement pressures; and

•

often topical treatments and, therefore, subject to less generic competition. Topical treatments generally require full clinical trials and not just bioequivalence tests before generics can enter the market.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

        We have completed several transactions to expand our product portfolio including, among others, the following acquisitions of businesses and product rights in 2011: iNova, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, Afexa Life Sciences Inc. ("Afexa"), AB Sanitas ("Sanitas"), Elidel®/Xerese®, PharmaSwiss S.A. ("PharmaSwiss"), and Zovirax®. In addition, we acquired Eyetech Inc. and Probiotica Laboratorios Ltda. ("Probiotica") in February 2012.

        In connection with the acquisition of Dermik, we were required by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") to divest 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide gel, a generic version of BenzaClin®, and 5% fluorouracil cream, an authorized generic of Efudex®. We completed the divestiture of these products in February 2012.

        For more information regarding our acquisitions and divestitures, see note 3, note 4 and note 27 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Segment Information

        Since the Merger, we have operated in five business segments comprising (i) U.S. Neurology and Other, (ii) U.S. Dermatology, (iii) Canada and Australia, (iv) Branded Generics — Europe and (v) Branded Generics — Latin America. Within our U.S. Dermatology and U.S. Neurology and Other segments we generate alliance revenue from the licensing of products we developed or acquired. Additionally, within our U.S. Dermatology segment and Branded Generic — Europe segment we generate service revenue from contract services in the areas of dermatology and topical medication. We have realigned segment financial data for the year ended December 31, 2009 to reflect changes in our organizational structure that occurred in 2010. Comparative segment information for 2011, 2010 and 2009 is presented in note 26 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

        Our current product portfolio comprises approximately 900 products, with approximately 4,100 stock keeping units ("SKUs"). In 2011, 2010 and 2009, global Wellbutrin XL® represented 9%, 21% and 22%, respectively, and Zovirax® represented 8%, 14% and 19%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. We anticipate a continuing decline in Wellbutrin XL® product sales due to generic erosion, although we have implemented initiatives to support the brand. We anticipate that Wellbutrin XL® product sales will continue to represent a declining percentage of our consolidated revenues primarily due to anticipated growth in other parts of our business and recent acquisitions. We anticipate that Zovirax® may also continue to decline as a percentage of consolidated revenues in the future as a result of revenue growth from acquisitions.

U.S. Neurology and Other

        The U.S. Neurology and Other segment generates product revenues from pharmaceutical products. These pharmaceutical products are marketed and sold primarily through wholesalers.

Neurology and Other Products — our principal Neurology and Other products are:

•

Wellbutrin XL®, an extended-release formulation of bupropion indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults, was launched in the U.S. in September 2003 by an affiliate of GlaxoSmithKline LLC (the entities within The Glaxo Group of Companies are referred to throughout as

2

"GSK"). Pursuant to a manufacturing-and-supply agreement then in effect with GSK, Biovail received a tiered supply price based on GSK's net sales of Wellbutrin XL®. In May 2009, Biovail acquired the full U.S. commercialization rights to Wellbutrin XL® from GSK.

•

Xenazine® is indicated for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease. In the U.S., Xenazine® is distributed for us by Lundbeck Inc. under an exclusive marketing, distribution and supply agreement for an initial term of 15 years.

U.S. Neurology and Other Alliance Revenue — We generate alliance revenue from the licensing of various products we developed or acquired.

U.S. Dermatology

        The U.S. Dermatology segment generates product revenues from pharmaceutical and OTC products. These pharmaceutical products are marketed and sold primarily through wholesalers and to a lesser extent through retail and direct-to-physician channels.

Pursuant to a distribution rights agreement, GSK provided us with Zovirax® products for the U.S. This distribution rights agreement terminated in February 2011 with our acquisition of the U.S. rights to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® from GSK. We have entered into a new supply agreement and trademark license with GSK for the U.S.

•

Xerese® (acyclovir and hydrocortisone cream) is indicated for the early treatment of recurrent herpes labialis (cold sores) to reduce the likelihood of ulcerative cold sores and to shorten the lesion healing time in adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older). Xerese® contains acyclovir, a synthetic nucleoside analogue active against herpes viruses, and hydrocortisone, an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, combined in a cream for topical administration.

•

Elidel® is a topical formulation used to treat mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema. Each gram of Elidel® Cream 1% contains 10 mg of pimecrolimus in a whitish cream base of benzyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, citric acid, mono- and di-glycerides, oleyl alcohol, propylene glycol, sodium cetostearyl sulphate, sodium hydroxide, stearyl alcohol, triglycerides, and water. Elidel® (pimecrolimus) Cream 1% is indicated as second-line therapy for the short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in nonimmunocompromised adults and children 2 years of age and older, who have failed to respond adequately to other topical prescription treatments, or when those treatments are not advisable.

•

Acanya® gel is a fixed-combination clindamycin phosphate (1.2%)/benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) aqueous gel approved by the FDA for the once daily treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 12 years and older.

        As part of the acquisition of the assets of Ortho Dermatologics, we now market the prescription brand Retin-A Micro®. Retin-A Micro® (tretinoin gel) microsphere, 0.04%/0.1% Pump, is an oil-free prescription-

3

strength acne treatment proven to start clearing skin in as little as two weeks after the start of treatment, with full results seen after seven weeks of treatment.

        As part of the acquisition of Dermik, we now market Sculptra® and Sculptra® Aesthetic, an injectable implant containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic polymer from the alpha-hydroxy-acid family, carboxymethylcellulose (USP), non-pyrogenic mannitol (USP) and sterile water for injection (USP). Sculptra® is intended for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus. Sculptra® Aesthetic is indicated for use in immune-competent people as a single regimen for correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles in which deep dermal grid pattern (cross-hatch) injection technique is appropriate.

OTC Products — our principal OTC products are:

•

CeraVe® is a range of OTC products with essential ceramides and other skin-nourishing and skin-moisturizing ingredients (humectants and emollients) combined with a unique, patented Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE®) delivery technology that, together, work to rebuild and repair the skin barrier. CeraVe® formulations incorporate ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, all of which are essential for skin barrier repair and are used as adjunct therapy in the management of various skin conditions.

•

Kinerase® is a range of OTC and prescription cosmetic products that have been shown to help skin look smoother, younger and healthier. Kinerase® contains the synthetic plant growth factor N6-furfuryladenine which has been shown to slow the changes that naturally occur in the cell aging process in plants and in skin cells.

U.S. Dermatology Service and Alliance Revenue — We generate alliance revenue and service revenue from the licensing of dermatological products and from contract services in the areas of dermatology and topical medication. Alliance revenue within our U.S. Dermatology segment included profit sharing payments from the sale of a 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide gel product ("IDP-111") by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Mylan"), and royalties from patent-protected formulations developed by our Dow Pharmaceutical Sciences, Inc. subsidiary and licensed to third parties. As described above, in connection with the Dermik acquisition in December 2011, we were required by the FTC to divest IDP-111. On February 3, 2012, we divested IDP-111 to Mylan and, as a result, we no longer receive royalties on sales by Mylan of IDP-111 made after February 3, 2012. Contract services are primarily focused on contract research for external development and clinical research in areas such as formulations development, in vitro drug penetration studies, analytical sciences and consulting in the areas of labeling and regulatory affairs.

Dr. Lewinn's® — a range of anti-aging skincare products, which caters to individual skin-types.

•

Dermaveen® — a therapeutic skincare range for dry, itchy or sensitive skin using colloidal oatmeal.

•

Invisible Zinc® — a skincare product that provides sun protection using zinc-oxide.

•

Hamilton products — a range of sun and therapeutic skincare products.

Branded Generics — Europe

        The Branded Generics — Europe segment generates revenues in more than 20 countries in Central and Eastern Europe from branded generic pharmaceutical products, OTC products and from agency/in-licensing arrangements with other research-based pharmaceutical companies (where we distribute and market branded, patented products under long-term, renewable contracts). Products are sold primarily in Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Croatia and Russia.

        In March, we acquired PharmaSwiss, a privately-owned branded generics and OTC pharmaceutical company with a broad product portfolio in seven therapeutic areas and operations in 19 countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe. In August, we acquired Sanitas, a publicly-traded specialty pharmaceutical company based in Lithuania. Sanitas has a broad branded generics product portfolio consisting of 390 products in nine countries, although its largest sales are in Poland and Russia. Sanitas has in-house development capabilities in dermatology, hospital injectables and ophthalmology.

        Our strategy is to develop and commercialize modern, high added-value generics and OTC products which represent a quality, affordable alternative to brand name counterparts. Our European products are sold largely

5

under the Valeant umbrella brand, although in those countries where the brand names of legacy companies still resonate with healthcare professionals and consumers, we have chosen for certain products to retain on our packaging the logos of some of the historical companies that make up Valeant Europe — ICN Polfa (specifically Poland), PharmaSwiss (specifically Serbia) and Sanitas (specifically Poland and Lithuania).

        Our combined European branded generics business now covers a broad range of treatments including antibiotics, treatments for cardiovascular and neurological diseases, antifungal medications and diabetic therapies among many others. We have significantly strengthened our presence in niche markets, specifically dermatology and ophthalmology. Our largest product is Bisocard®, a Beta-blocker that is indicated to treat hypertension and angina pectoris. From PharmaSwiss, we have acquired products including Monopril® (fosinopril), Diclo Duo® (an NSAID) and Cardiopirin® (an enteric coated low dose OTC aspirin). From Sanitas, we have acquired products including Flucinar®, a corticosteroid ointment, and Sachol®, a gel product for mouth ulcers.

Branded Generics — Latin America

        The Branded Generics — Latin America segment generates revenues from branded generic pharmaceutical products and OTC products in Mexico and Brazil and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets. The Mexico domestic market represents approximately 59% of revenues in this segment for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our branded generic and generic products are developed when patents or other regulatory exclusivity no longer protect an originator's brand product. Our branded generic products in Mexico are primarily marketed in this region to physicians and pharmacies through approximately 500 sales professionals under the Grossman and Tecnofarma brands. Our Tecnofarma generic portfolio is primarily sold through Mexico's Government Health Care System, which awards its business through a tender process.

        Our portfolio covers a broad range of therapeutic classes including vitamin deficiency, antibacterials and dermatology. Our largest product in this market is Bedoyecta®, a brand of vitamin B complex (B1, B6 and B12 vitamins) products. Bedoyecta® products act as energy improvement agents for fatigue related to age or chronic diseases, and as nervous system maintenance agents to treat neurotic pain and neuropathy. Bedoyecta® is sold in an injectable form as well as in a tablet form in Mexico and has strong brand recognition in Mexico. Our second largest product, M.V.I.®, multi-vitamin infusion, is a hospital dietary supplement used in treating trauma and burns.

        In Brazil, our primary products include Tandene®, which contains acetaminophen used in treating fever, headaches, and other minor aches and pains and also Melleril®, an anti-psychotic product used in treating anxiety, depression, and other related disorders. Our branded generic products in Brazil are primarily marketed to pharmacies and wholesalers through approximately 200 sales professionals. On February 1, 2012, we acquired Probiotica, a company that markets a line of OTC sports nutrition products and other food supplements in Brazil.

Planned Change in Segment Structure

        Following the acquisition of iNova in December 2011, we now operate in five new territories: Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong and South Africa, with a distribution business in Vietnam, Indonesia and Singapore. This business is a blend of branded products, branded generics and OTC. Effective in the first quarter of 2012, we plan to create a new business segment called Emerging Markets, which will include Branded Generics — Europe, Branded Generics — Latin America and other markets. As a result, beginning in 2012, we will have four business segments: U.S. Neurology and Other, U.S. Dermatology, Canada and Australia, and Emerging Markets.

        For detailed information regarding the revenues, operating profits and identifiable assets attributable to our segments, see note 26 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Collaboration Agreement

        In October 2008, Valeant closed the worldwide License and Collaboration Agreement ("the Collaboration Agreement") with GSK to develop and commercialize ezogabine/retigabine, a first-in-class neuronal potassium channel opener for the treatment of adult epilepsy patients with refractory partial onset seizures, and its backup

6

compounds. We agreed to share equally with GSK the development and pre-commercialization expenses of ezogabine/retigabine in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Puerto Rico (the "Collaboration Territory") and GSK will develop and commercialize ezogabine/retigabine in the rest of the world. Our share of such expenses in the Collaboration Territory is limited to $100.0 million, provided that GSK will be entitled to credit our share of any such expenses in excess of such amount against future payments owed to us under the Collaboration Agreement. See note 5 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for further information.

        Our rights to ezogabine/retigabine are subject to an Asset Purchase Agreement between Meda Pharma GmbH & Co. KG ("Meda Pharma") and Xcel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Xcel"), which was acquired by Valeant in 2005 (the "Meda Pharma Agreement"). Under the Meda Pharma Agreement, we are required to make certain milestone and royalty payments to Meda Pharma. Within the Collaboration Territory, any royalties payable to Meda Pharma will be paid by us and GSK. In the rest of the world, we will be responsible for the payment of these royalties to Meda Pharma out of the royalty payments we receive from GSK.

Research and Development

        Our research and development organization focuses on the development of products through clinical trials. We currently have (or had during 2011) a number of compounds in clinical development including: ezogabine/retigabine, Cold-FX pediatric development, Opana® ER, Lodalis™, IDP-107, IDP-108, IDP-118, MC-5 and lifecycle management projects. Our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $65.7 million, $68.3 million and $47.6 million, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2011, approximately 600 employees were involved in our research and development efforts.

        For more information regarding our products in clinical development, see Item 7 titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Products in Development" of this Form 10-K.

Licenses and Patents (Proprietary Rights)

Data and Patent Exclusivity

        We rely on a combination of regulatory and patent rights to protect the value of our investment in the development of our products.

        A patent is the grant of a property right which allows its holder to exclude others from, among other things, selling the subject invention in, or importing such invention into, the jurisdiction that granted the patent. In the U.S., Canada and the European Union, patents expire 20 years from the date of application.

        In the U.S., the Hatch-Waxman Act provides nonpatent regulatory exclusivity for five years from the date of the first FDA approval of a new drug compound in a New Drug Application ("NDA"). The FDA is prohibited during those five years from approving a generic, or ANDA, that references the NDA. Protection under the Hatch-Waxman Act will not prevent the filing or approval of another full NDA. However, the NDA applicant would be required to conduct its own pre-clinical, adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to independently demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

        A similar data exclusivity scheme exists in the European Union, whereby only the pioneer drug company can use data obtained at the pioneer's expense for up to eight years from the date of the first approval of a drug by the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") and no generic drug can be marketed for ten years from the approval of the innovator product. Under both the U.S. and the European Union data exclusivity programs, products without patent protection can be marketed by others so long as they repeat the clinical trials necessary to show safety and efficacy. Canada employs a similar regulatory regime.

Government Regulations

        Government authorities in the U.S., at the federal, state and local level, in Canada and in other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, approval, manufacturing, labeling,

7

post-approval monitoring and reporting, packaging, promotion, storage, advertising, distribution, marketing and export and import of pharmaceutical products. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal, state, local and foreign statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. FDA approval must be obtained in the U.S., approval of Health Canada's Therapeutic Products Directorate ("TPD") must be obtained in Canada, EMA approval must be obtained for countries that are part of the European Union and approval must be obtained from comparable agencies in other countries prior to marketing or manufacturing new pharmaceutical products for use by humans.

        Manufacturers of drug products are required to comply with manufacturing regulations, including current good manufacturing regulations enforced by the FDA and the TPD and similar regulations enforced by regulatory agencies outside the U.S. and Canada. In addition, we are subject to price control restrictions on our pharmaceutical products in many countries in which we operate.

        We are also subject to extensive U.S. federal and state health care marketing and fraud and abuse regulations, such as the federal False Claims Act, and similar regulations in Canada and foreign countries in which we may conduct our business. The federal False Claims Act imposes civil and criminal liability on individuals or entities who submit (or cause the submission of) false or fraudulent claims for payment to the government. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws, regulations, rules or policies or any other law or governmental regulation, or if interpretations of the foregoing change, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.

Environmental Regulation

        We are subject to national, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the handling and disposal of hazardous wastes, wastewater, solid waste and other environmental matters. Our development and manufacturing activities involve the controlled use of hazardous materials.

Marketing and Customers

        Our four major geographic markets are: the U.S., Canada, Poland and Mexico.

        The following table identifies external customers that accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	Percentage of Total Revenue 2011
McKesson Corporation		23%
Cardinal Health, Inc.		21%
AmerisourceBergen Corporation		10%

        No other single country or customer generated over 10% of our total product net sales.

        We currently promote our pharmaceutical products to physicians, hospitals, pharmacies and wholesalers through our own sales force and sell through wholesalers. In some limited markets, we additionally sell directly to physicians, hospitals and large drug store chains and we sell through distributors in countries where we do not have our own sales staff. As part of our marketing program for pharmaceuticals, we use direct mailings, advertise in trade and medical periodicals, exhibit products at medical conventions and sponsor medical education symposia.

Competition

Competitive Landscape for Products and Products in Development

        Our competitors include specialty and large pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, OTC companies, academic and other research and development institutions and generic manufacturers, both in the U.S., Canada and abroad. The dermatology competitive landscape is highly fragmented, with a large number of

8

mid-size and smaller companies competing in both the prescription sector and the OTC and cosmeceutical sectors. Our competitors are pursuing the development of pharmaceuticals and OTC products that target the same diseases and conditions that we are targeting in neurology, dermatology and other therapeutic areas.

        We sell a broad range of products, and competitive factors vary by product line and geographic area in which the products are sold.

Generic Competition

        We face increased competition from manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products when patents covering certain of our currently marketed products expire or are successfully challenged. Generic versions are generally significantly less expensive than branded versions, and, where available, may be required in preference to the branded version under third-party reimbursement programs, or substituted by pharmacies. If competitors introduce new products, delivery systems or processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, our products can be subject to progressive price reductions or decreased volume of sales, or both. Most new products that we introduce must compete with other products already on the market or products that are later developed by competitors. Manufacturers of generic pharmaceuticals typically invest far less in research and development than research-based pharmaceutical companies and therefore can price their products significantly lower than branded products. Accordingly, when a branded product loses its market exclusivity, it normally faces intense price competition from generic forms of the product. To successfully compete for business with managed care and pharmacy benefits management organizations, we must often demonstrate that our products offer not only medical benefits but also cost advantages as compared with other forms of care.

        In the U.S., Zovirax® does not currently have generic competition and is not protected by patent or regulatory exclusivity.

        Cardizem® CD has many generic competitors in the U.S. on the majority of the available SKUs; however to date, only one generic competitor to the Cardizem® CD 360mg SKU has been approved. Sun Pharmaceuticals' ANDA received approval for its 360mg dosage formulation of diltiazem hydrochloride extended release capsules corresponding to Cardizem® CD on November 1, 2011 and launched its generic product in the U.S. in 2011 following such approval. We also received a Paragraph IV Notice from Actavis, Inc. ("Actavis") dated February 9, 2011 in regard to 360mg dosage diltiazem hydrochloride extended release capsules corresponding to Cardizem® CD. Actavis subsequently converted its Paragraph IV filing to a Paragraph III filing and will not launch until after the expiration of the last patent covering Cardizem® CD expires in August 2012.

        On December 12, 2011, we acquired the assets of the Ortho Dermatologics division of Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Janssen"). Janssen received two Notices of Paragraph IV Certification from Spear Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Spear") with one dated February 8, 2011 with respect to its ANDA for tretinoin topical gel 0.1% gel and the other dated April 1, 2011 with respect to its ANDA for tretinoin topical gel 0.04%, corresponding to Retin-A Micro® 0.1% and 0.04%, respectively. Janssen did not file a complaint against Spear with respect to either notice. Therefore, assuming approval of its ANDAs, Spear would be authorized to launch its generic version in the U.S.

        See note 24 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional details regarding potential infringement proceedings we have commenced against other potential generic competitors of our products in the U.S. and Canada.

Manufacturing

        We currently operate 16 manufacturing plants worldwide. All of our manufacturing facilities that require certification from the FDA, TPD or foreign agencies have obtained such approval.

        We also subcontract the manufacturing of certain of our products, including products manufactured under the rights acquired from other pharmaceutical companies. Generally, acquired products continue to be produced for a specific period of time by the selling company. During that time, we integrate the products into our own manufacturing facilities or initiate toll manufacturing agreements with third parties.

9

        We estimate that products representing approximately 45% of our product sales are produced by third party manufacturers under toll manufacturing arrangements.

        The principal raw materials used by us for our various products are purchased in the open market. Most of these materials are available from several sources.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately 6,900 employees. These employees included approximately 3,400 in production, 2,200 in sales and marketing, 600 in research and development and 700 in general and administrative positions. Collective bargaining exists for some employees in a number of markets. We consider our relations with our employees to be good and have not experienced any work stoppages, slowdowns or other serious labor problems that have materially impeded our business operations.

Product Liability Insurance

        We have product liability insurance to cover damages resulting from the use of our products. We have in place clinical trial insurance in the major markets where we conduct clinical trials.

Seasonality of Business

        Our results of operations have not been materially impacted by seasonality.

Geographic Areas

        A significant portion of our revenues are generated from operations or otherwise earned outside the U.S. and Canada. All of our foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls, fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, political and economic instability and restrictive governmental actions including possible nationalization or expropriation. Changes in the relative values of currencies may materially affect our results of operations. For a discussion of these risks, see Item 1A., Risk Factors in this Form 10-K.

        See note 26 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for detailed information regarding revenues by geographic area.

        A material portion of our revenue and income is earned in Barbados and in Switzerland, which both have low tax rates. See Item 1A., Risk Factors in this Form 10-K relating to tax rates.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Our business, operations and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Form 10-K, including those risks set forth under the heading entitled "Forward-Looking Statements", and in other documents that we file with the SEC and the CSA, before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of the risks or uncertainties actually occur or develop, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could change. Under these circumstances, the market value of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in the our securities.

We operate in an extremely competitive industry. If competitors develop or acquire more effective or less costly drugs for our target indications, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        Many of our competitors, particularly large pharmaceutical companies, have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we do. Many of our competitors spend significantly more on research and development related activities than we do. Others may succeed in developing or acquiring products that are more effective than those currently marketed or proposed for development by us. In addition, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private organizations conducting research may seek patent protection with respect to potentially competitive products. They may also establish exclusive collaborative or licensing relationships with our competitors.

We have grown at a very rapid pace. Our inability to properly manage or support this growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        We have grown very rapidly over the past few years as a result of our acquisitions. This growth has put significant demands on our processes, systems and people. We have made and expect to make further investments in additional personnel, systems and internal control processes to help manage our growth. If we are unable to successfully manage and support our rapid growth and the challenges and difficulties associated with managing a larger, more complex business, this could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock could decline.

We may be unable to identify, acquire, close or integrate acquisition targets successfully.

        Part of our business strategy includes acquiring and integrating complementary businesses, products, technologies or other assets, and forming strategic alliances, joint ventures and other business combinations, to help drive future growth. We may also in-license new products or compounds. Acquisitions or similar arrangements may be complex, time consuming and expensive. We may not consummate some negotiations for acquisitions or other arrangements, which could result in significant diversion of management and other employee time, as well as substantial out-of-pocket costs. In addition, there are a number of risks and uncertainties relating to our closing transactions. If such transactions are not completed for any reason, we will be subject to several risks, including the following: (i) the market price of our common shares may reflect a market assumption that such transactions will occur, and a failure to complete such transactions could result in a negative perception by the market of us generally and a decline in the market price of our common shares; and (ii) many costs relating to the such transactions may be payable by us whether or not such transactions are completed.

        If an acquisition is consummated, the integration of the acquired business, product or other assets into our company may be also be complex and time-consuming and, if such businesses, products and assets are not successfully integrated, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits, cost-savings or growth opportunities. Potential difficulties that may be encountered in the integration process include the following:

•

integrating personnel, operations and systems, while maintaining focus on producing and delivering consistent, high quality products;

•

coordinating geographically dispersed organizations;

11

•

distracting employees from operations;

•

retaining existing customers and attracting new customers; and

•

managing inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the Company.

        Furthermore, these acquisitions and other arrangements, even if successfully integrated, may fail to further our business strategy as anticipated, expose us to increased competition or challenges with respect to our products or geographic markets, and expose us to additional liabilities associated with an acquired business, product, technology or other asset or arrangement. Any one of these challenges or risks could impair our ability to realize any benefit from our acquisition or arrangement after we have expended resources on them.

Our effective tax rates may increase.

        We have operations in various countries that have differing tax laws and rates. Our tax reporting is supported by current domestic tax laws in the countries in which we operate and the application of tax treaties between the various countries in which we operate. Our income tax reporting will be, and the historic tax reporting of each of Valeant and Biovail is, subject to audit by domestic and foreign authorities. Our effective tax rate may change from year to year based on changes in the mix of activities and income allocated or earned among the different jurisdictions in which we operate; changes in tax laws in these jurisdictions; changes in the tax treaties between various countries in which we operate; changes in our eligibility for benefits under those tax treaties; and changes in the estimated values of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such changes could result in a substantial increase in the effective tax rate on all or a portion of our income.

        Our provision for income taxes is based on certain estimates and assumptions made by management. Our consolidated income tax rate is affected by the amount of net income earned in our various operating jurisdictions, the availability of benefits under tax treaties, and the rates of taxes payable in respect of that income. We enter into many transactions and arrangements in the ordinary course of business in respect of which the tax treatment is not entirely certain. We therefore make estimates and judgments based on our knowledge and understanding of applicable tax laws and tax treaties, and the application of those tax laws and tax treaties to our business, in determining our consolidated tax provision. For example, certain countries could seek to tax a greater share of income than will be provided for by us. The final outcome of any audits by taxation authorities may differ from the estimates and assumptions that we may use in determining our consolidated tax provisions and accruals. This could result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated income tax provision, financial condition and the net income for the period in which such determinations are made.

        Our deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and any related valuation allowances are affected by events and transactions arising in the ordinary course of business, acquisitions of assets and businesses, and non-recurring items. The assessment of the appropriate amount of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets is dependent upon several factors, including estimates of the realization of deferred income tax assets, which realization will be primarily based on forecasts of future taxable income. Significant judgment is applied to determine the appropriate amount of valuation allowance to record. Changes in the amount of any valuation allowance required could materially increase or decrease our provision for income taxes in a given period.

We have incurred significant indebtedness, which indebtedness may restrict the manner in which we conduct business and limit our ability to implement elements of our growth strategy.

        We have incurred significant indebtedness primarily in connection with our recent acquisitions. We may also incur additional long-term debt and working capital lines of credit to meet future financing needs which, subject to certain restrictions under our indebtedness would increase our total debt. This indebtedness may restrict the manner in which we conduct business and limit our ability to implement elements of our growth strategy, including with respect to:

•

limitations on our ability to obtain additional debt financing;

•

instances in which we are unable to meet the financial covenants contained in our debt agreements or to generate cash sufficient to make required debt payments, which circumstances would have the potential of resulting in the acceleration of the maturity of some or all of our outstanding indebtedness;

12

•

the allocation of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our debt, thus reducing the amount of our cash flow available for other purposes;

•

requiring us to issue debt or equity securities or to sell some of our core assets, possibly on unfavorable terms, to meet payment obligations;

•

compromising our flexibility to plan for, or react to, competitive challenges in our business;

•

the possibility that we are put at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors that do not have as much debt as us, and competitors that may be in a more favorable position to access additional capital resources; and

•

limitations on our ability to execute business development activities to support our strategies.

        In January 2012, Moody's Investor Services ("Moody's") downgraded our senior secured debt rating from Baa3 to Ba1. At the same time, Moody's reaffirmed our Corporate Family rating (Ba3) and our senior unsecured debt rating (B1). Increased debt levels could result in further ratings pressure. A further downgrade may increase our cost of borrowing and may negatively affect our ability to raise additional debt capital.

Obtaining necessary government approvals is time consuming and not assured.

        The FDA and TPD approval must be obtained in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, and approval must be obtained from comparable agencies in other countries, prior to marketing or manufacturing new pharmaceutical products for use by humans. Obtaining FDA, TPD and other regulatory approval for new products and manufacturing processes can take a number of years and involves the expenditure of substantial resources. Even if such products appear promising in large-scale Phase 3 clinical trials, regulatory approval may not be achieved and no assurance can be given that we will obtain approval in the U.S., Canada or any other country. Nor can any assurance be given that if such approval is secured, the approved labeling will not have significant labeling limitations, including limitations on the indications for which we can market a product, or require onerous risk management programs.

Our marketed drugs will be subject to ongoing regulatory review.

        Following initial regulatory approval of any drugs we or our partners may develop, we will be subject to continuing regulatory review by the FDA, the TPD and other regulatory authorities in countries where our products are marketed or intended to be marketed, including the review of adverse drug events and clinical results that are reported after product candidates become commercially available. The manufacturing, labeling, packaging, storage, distribution, advertising, promotion, reporting and recordkeeping related to the product will also be subject to extensive ongoing regulatory requirements. If we fail to comply with U.S. and Canadian regulatory requirements and those in other countries where our products are sold, we could lose our marketing approvals or be subject to fines or other sanctions. In addition, incidents of adverse drug reactions, unintended side effects or misuse relating to our products could result in additional regulatory controls or restrictions, or even lead to withdrawal of a product from the market. As a condition to granting marketing approval of a product, the FDA and TPD may require a company to conduct additional clinical trials, the results of which could result in the subsequent loss of marketing approval, changes in product labeling or new or increased concerns about side effects or efficacy of a product.

Our approved products may not achieve or maintain expected levels of market acceptance.

        Even if we are able to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our new pharmaceutical products, generic or branded, the success of these products is dependent upon achieving and maintaining market acceptance. Commercializing products is time consuming, expensive and unpredictable. There can be no assurance that we will be able to, either by ourselves or in collaboration with our partners or through our licensees, successfully commercialize new products or gain market acceptance for such products. New product candidates that appear promising in development may fail to reach the market or may have only limited or no

13

commercial success. Levels of market acceptance for our new products could be impacted by several factors, many of which are not within our control, including but not limited to the:

•

safety, efficacy, convenience and cost-effectiveness of our products compared to products of our competitors;

•

scope of approved uses and marketing approval;

•

timing of market approvals and market entry;

•

availability of alternative products from our competitors;

•

acceptance of the price of our products; and

•

ability to market our products effectively at the retail level or in the appropriate setting of care.

        Further, the discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate (or are perceived to implicate) an entire class of products could have an adverse effect on sales of the affected products. Accordingly, new data about our products, or products similar to our products, could negatively impact demand for our products due to real or perceived side effects or uncertainty regarding efficacy and, in some cases, could result in product withdrawal.

We will not be able to commercialize our pipeline products if preclinical studies do not produce successful results or if clinical trials do not demonstrate safety and efficacy in humans.

        We and our development partners, as applicable, conduct extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy in humans of our pipeline products in order to obtain regulatory approval for the sale of our pipeline products. Preclinical studies and clinical trials are expensive, can take many years and have uncertain outcomes.

If we or our third-party manufacturers are unable to manufacture our products or the manufacturing process is interrupted due to failure to comply with regulations or for other reasons, the interruption of the manufacture of our products could adversely affect our business. Other manufacturing difficulties or delays may also adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        Our manufacturing facilities and those of our contract manufacturers must be inspected and found to be in full compliance with current good manufacturing practices ("cGMP") or similar standards before approval for marketing. Our failure or that of our contract manufacturers to comply with cGMP regulations or similar regulations outside of the U.S. can result in enforcement action by the FDA or its foreign counterparts, including, but not limited to, warning letters, fines, injunctions, civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production or importation, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approval for approved or in-market products, refusal of the government to renew marketing applications or approve pending applications or supplements, suspension of ongoing clinical trials, imposition of new manufacturing requirements, closure of facilities and criminal prosecution.

        Our manufacturing and other processes use complicated and sophisticated equipment, which sometimes requires a significant amount of time to obtain and install. Manufacturing complexity, testing requirements and safety and security processes combine to increase the overall difficulty of manufacturing these products and resolving manufacturing problems that we may encounter. Although we endeavor to properly maintain our equipment, including through on-site quality control and experienced manufacturing supervision, and have key spare parts on hand, our business could suffer if certain manufacturing or other equipment, or all or a portion of our facilities, were to become inoperable for a period of time. This could occur for various reasons, including catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes or other natural disasters, explosions, environmental accidents, pandemics, quarantine, equipment failures or delays in obtaining components or replacements, construction delays or defects and other events, both within and outside of our control. We could experience substantial production delays in the event of any such occurrence until we build or locate replacement equipment or a replacement facility, as applicable, and seek to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for such replacement. Any interruption in our manufacture of products could have a material adverse effect on our

14

business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        Our dependence upon others to manufacture our products may adversely affect our profit margins and our ability to develop and obtain approval for our products on a timely and competitive basis, if at all. In addition, delays or difficulties by us or with our contract manufacturers in producing, packaging, or distributing our products could adversely affect the sales of our current products or introduction of other products.

If we are unable to obtain components or raw materials, or products supplied by third parties, our ability to manufacture and deliver our products to the market would be impeded, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        Some components and raw materials used in our manufactured products, and some products sold by us, are currently available only from one or a limited number of domestic or foreign suppliers. In the event an existing supplier becomes unavailable through business interruption or financial insolvency or loses its regulatory status as an approved source or we are unable to renew current supply agreements when such agreements expire and we do not have a second supplier, we may be unable to obtain the required components, raw materials or products on a timely basis or at commercially reasonable prices. A prolonged interruption in the supply of a single-sourced raw material, including the active pharmaceutical ingredient, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Disruptions of delivery of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        The supply of our products to our customers is subject to and dependent upon the use of transportation services. Disruption of transportation services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We have entered into distribution agreements with other companies to distribute certain of our products at supply prices based on net sales. Declines in the pricing and/or volume, over which we have no or limited control, of such products, and therefore the amounts paid to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        Our portfolio of generic products and certain of our other products are the subject of various agreements, pursuant to which we manufacture and sell products to other companies, which distribute such products at a supply price typically based on net sales. Our ability to control pricing and volume of these products is limited and, in some cases, these companies make all distribution and pricing decisions independently of us. If the pricing or volume of such products declines, our revenues would be adversely impacted which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Our marketing, promotional and pricing practices, as well as the manner in which sales forces interact with purchasers, prescribers and patients, are subject to extensive regulation and any material failure to comply could result in significant sanctions against us.

        The marketing, promotional, and pricing practices of pharmaceutical companies, as well as the manner in which companies, in-house or third-party sales forces interact with purchasers, prescribers, and patients, are subject to extensive regulation, enforcement of which may result in the imposition of civil and/or criminal penalties, injunctions, and/or limitations on marketing practice for our products. Many companies, including us, have been the subject of claims related to these practices asserted by federal authorities. These claims have resulted in fines and other consequences to us. We are now operating under a Corporate Integrity Agreement ("CIA") that requires us to maintain a comprehensive compliance program governing our sales, marketing and government pricing and contracting functions. Material failures to comply with the CIA could result in significant sanctions against us, including monetary penalties and exclusion from federal health care programs.

15

        Companies may not promote drugs for "off-label" uses — that is, uses that are not described in the product's labeling and that differ from those approved by the FDA, TPD or other applicable regulatory agencies. A company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability, including civil and administrative remedies as well as criminal sanctions. In addition, management's attention could be diverted from our business operations and our reputation could be damaged.

Products representing a significant amount of our revenue are not protected by patent or data exclusivity rights.

        A significant amount of the products we sell have no meaningful exclusivity protection via patent or data exclusivity rights. These products represent a significant amount of our revenues. Without exclusivity protection, competitors face fewer barriers in introducing competing products. The introduction of competing products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to risks arising from the international scope of our operations.

        We conduct a significant portion of our business outside the U.S. and Canada and, in light of our growth strategy, we anticipate continuing to expand our operations into new countries, including emerging markets. We sell our pharmaceutical products in many countries around the world. All of our foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including possible nationalization or expropriation, price and currency exchange controls, fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, political and economic instability, credit market uncertainty, compliance with multiple regulatory regimes and restrictive governmental actions.

The general business and economic conditions in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, Latin America and other countries in which we conduct business could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources, revenues and operating results, which could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        We may be impacted by general economic conditions and factors over which we have no control, such as changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency rates, lack of liquidity in certain markets and volatility in capital markets. Similarly, adverse economic conditions impacting our customers or uncertainty about global economic conditions could cause purchases of our products to decline, which could adversely affect our revenues and operating results. Moreover, our projected revenues and operating results are based on assumptions concerning certain levels of customer spending. Any failure to attain our projected revenues and operating results as a result of adverse economic or market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Due to the large portion of our business conducted outside the United States, we have significant foreign currency risk.

        We face foreign currency exposure on the translation of our operations in Poland and other Eastern European countries, Canada, Australia and Latin America. Where possible, we manage foreign currency risk by managing same currency revenue in relation to same currency expenses. As a result, both favorable and unfavorable foreign currency impacts to our foreign currency-denominated operating expenses are mitigated to a certain extent by the natural, opposite impact on our foreign currency-denominated revenue. The international scope of our operations may also lead to volatile financial results and difficulties in managing our operations.

We must continue to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees, and failure to do so could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        We must continue to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees. A failure by us to retain and motivate executives and other key employees could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

16

We are exposed to risks related to interest rates.

        The primary objective of investing our excess cash is the protection of principal and, accordingly, we invest in investment grade securities with varying maturities, but typically less than one year. Our Credit Facility bears interest based on U.S. dollar London Interbank Offering Rates, or U.S. Prime Rate, or Federal Funds effective rate. Thus, a change in the short-term interest rate environment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. As of December 31, 2011, we do not have any outstanding interest rate swap contracts.

We are involved in various legal proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        We are involved in several legal proceedings. Defending against claims and any unfavorable legal decisions, settlements or orders could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

If our products cause, or are alleged to cause, serious or widespread personal injury, we may have to withdraw those products from the market and/or incur significant costs, including payment of substantial sums in damages, and we may be subject to exposure relating to product liability claims.

        We face an inherent business risk of exposure to significant product liability and other claims in the event that the use of our products caused, or is alleged to have caused, adverse effects. Furthermore, our products may cause, or may appear to have caused, adverse side effects (including death) or potentially dangerous drug interactions that we may not learn about or understand fully until the drug has been administered to patients for some time. The withdrawal of a product following complaints and/or incurring significant costs, including the requirement to pay substantial damages in personal injury cases or product liability cases, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Our product liability insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover our claims and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost in the future.

We may become involved in infringement actions which are uncertain, costly and time-consuming and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        The pharmaceutical industry historically has generated substantial litigation concerning the manufacture, use and sale of products and we expect this litigation activity to continue. As a result, we expect that patents related to our products will be routinely challenged, and our patents may not be upheld. In order to protect or enforce patent rights, we may initiate litigation against third parties. If we are not successful in defending an attack on our patents and maintaining exclusive rights to market one or more of our major products still under patent protection, we could lose a significant portion of sales in a very short period. We may also become subject to infringement claims by third parties and may have to defend against charges that we violated patents or the proprietary rights of third parties. If we infringe the intellectual property rights of others, we could lose our right to develop, manufacture or sell products, including our generic products, or could be required to pay monetary damages or royalties to license proprietary rights from third parties. The outcomes of infringement action are uncertain and infringement actions are costly and divert technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities.

We are subject to various laws and regulations, including "fraud and abuse" laws and anti-bribery laws, and a failure to comply with such laws and regulations or prevail in any litigation related to noncompliance could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have faced lawsuits and investigations pertaining to violations of health care "fraud and abuse" laws, such as the federal False Claims Act, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and other state and federal laws and regulations. We also face increasingly strict data privacy and security laws in the U.S. and in other countries, the violation of which could

17

result in fines and other sanctions. The United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General recommends and, increasingly states, require pharmaceutical companies to have comprehensive compliance programs and to disclose certain payments made to healthcare providers or funds spent on marketing and promotion of drug products. If we are in violation of any of these requirements or any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of significant fines, exclusion from federal healthcare programs or other sanctions.

        The FCPA and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices or may require us to interact with doctors and hospitals, some of which may be state controlled, in a manner that is different than in the U.S. and Canada. We cannot assure you that our internal control policies and procedures will protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in criminal or civil penalties or remedial measures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Our failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations worldwide could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

        We are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment, safety matters, regulation of chemicals and product safety in the countries where we manufacture and sell our products or otherwise operate our business. These requirements include regulation of the handling, manufacture, transportation, use and disposal of materials, including the discharge of pollutants into the environment. In the normal course of our business, hazardous substances may be released into the environment, which could cause environmental or property damage or personal injuries, and which could subject us to remediation obligations regarding contaminated soil and groundwater or potential liability for damage claims. Under certain laws, we may be required to remediate contamination at certain of our properties regardless of whether the contamination was caused by us or by previous occupants of the property or by others. In recent years, the operations of all companies have become subject to increasingly stringent legislation and regulation related to occupational safety and health, product registration and environmental protection. Such legislation and regulations are complex and constantly changing, and future changes in laws or regulations may require us to install additional controls for certain of our emission sources, to undertake changes in our manufacturing processes or to remediate soil or groundwater contamination at facilities where such cleanup is not currently required.

We are exposed to risks if we are unable to comply with laws and future changes to laws affecting public companies, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX"), and also to increased costs associated with complying with such laws.

        Any future changes to the laws and regulations affecting public companies, as well as compliance with existing provisions of SOX in the U.S. and Part XXIII.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario), R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5 and related rules and applicable stock exchange rules and regulations, may cause us to incur increased costs as we evaluate the implications of new rules and respond to new requirements. Delays, or a failure to comply with any laws, rules and regulations that apply to us, could result in enforcement actions, the assessment of other penalties and civil suits. New laws and regulations could make it more expensive for us under indemnities we provide to our officers and directors and could make it more difficult for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including liability insurance for directors and officers; as such, we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the board of directors or as officers. We are required annually to review and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with applicable securities laws. Our registered public accounting

18

firm is also required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over our financial reporting, there is the possibility of errors or omissions occurring or misrepresentations in our disclosures which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Legislative or regulatory reform of the healthcare system may affect our ability to sell our products profitably and could adversely affect our business.

        In the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could impact our ability to sell our products profitably. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which includes a number of health care reform provisions and requires most U.S. citizens to have health insurance. Effective January 1, 2010, the new law increased the minimum Medicaid drug rebates for pharmaceutical companies, expanded the 340B drug discount program, and made changes to affect the Medicare Part D coverage gap, or "donut hole". The law also revised the definition of "average manufacturer price" for reporting purposes, which may increase the amount of our Medicaid drug rebates to states. Beginning in 2011, the new law imposes a significant annual fee on companies that manufacture or import branded prescription drug products. Substantial new provisions affecting compliance also have been added, which may require us to modify our business practices with health care practitioners. A variety of federal and state agencies are responsible for implementing the law, including through the issuance of rules, regulations or guidance that materially affect our business. Various legal challenges have been filed against the law, with some lower courts reaching conflicting decisions. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear argument on these challenges in March 2012 and we cannot predict at this time what impact these challenges will have on our business.

Market Price Volatility of Common Shares

        Market prices for the securities of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including our securities, have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. Factors such as fluctuations in our operating results, the aftermath of public announcements by us, concern as to safety of drugs and general market conditions can have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and other securities.

Holders

        The approximate number of holders of record of our common shares as of February 23, 2012 is 2,486.

Dividends

        No dividends were declared or paid in 2011. During 2010, we declared dividends per common share as follows:

Date Declared	Dividend per share		Payment Date
November 5, 2009	$	0.09	January 4, 2010
February 25, 2010	$	0.09	April 5, 2010
May 6, 2010	$	0.095	July 5, 2010
August 5, 2010	$	0.095	October 4, 2010
November 4, 2010	$	1.00	December 22, 2010
Total	$	1.370

        On November 4, 2010, our board of directors declared a special dividend of $1.00 (the "post-Merger special dividend") per common share, no par value. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 15,

22

2010 (the "record date") were entitled to receive the post-Merger special dividend on December 22, 2010. In connection with the post-Merger special dividend, we established a special dividend reinvestment plan under which eligible shareholders of record as of the record date could elect to reinvest the post-Merger special dividend (net of any applicable withholding tax) in additional common shares of the Company. Following the payment of the post-Merger special dividend, the special dividend reinvestment plan was terminated. The aggregate cash post-Merger special dividend paid was $297.6 million and we issued 72,283 additional shares to shareholders that elected to reinvest in additional common shares of the Company.

        While our board of directors will review our dividend policy from time to time, we currently do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the covenants contained in the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement include restrictions on the payment of dividends.

        See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Selected Financial Information — Cash Dividends", for additional details about our dividend payments.

Restrictions on Share Ownership by Non-Canadians

        There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or in our organizational documents on the right of foreigners to hold or vote securities of our Company, except that the Investment Canada Act (Canada) (the "Investment Canada Act") may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry (Canada) of certain acquisitions of "control" of our Company by a "non-Canadian".

Investment Canada Act

        An acquisition of control of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian is either reviewable (a "Reviewable Transaction"), in which case it is subject to both a reporting obligation and an approval process, or notifiable, in which case it is subject to only a post-closing reporting obligation. In the case of a Reviewable Transaction, the non-Canadian acquirer must submit an application for review with the prescribed information. The responsible Minister is then required to determine whether the Reviewable Transaction is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, taking into account the assessment factors specified in the Investment Canada Act and any written undertakings that may have been given by the non-Canadian acquirer.

        In March 2009, the Investment Canada Act was amended to provide that any investment by a non-Canadian in a Canadian business, even where control has not been acquired, can be reviewed on grounds of whether it may be injurious to national security. Where an investment is determined to be injurious to national security, Cabinet can prohibit closing or, if closed, can order the investor to divest control. Short of a prohibition or divestment order, Cabinet can impose terms or conditions on the investment or can require the investor to provide binding undertakings to remove the national security concern.

Competition Act

        Part IX of the Competition Act (Canada) (the "Competition Act") requires that a pre-merger notification filing be submitted to the Commissioner of Competition (the "Commissioner") in respect of certain classes of merger transactions that exceed certain prescribed thresholds. If a proposed transaction exceeds such thresholds, subject to certain exceptions, the notification filing must be submitted to the Commissioner and the statutory waiting period must expire or be terminated early or waived by the Commissioner before the transaction can be completed.

        All mergers, regardless of whether they are subject to Part IX of the Competition Act, are subject to the substantive mergers provisions under Section 92 of the Competition Act. In particular, the Commissioner may challenge a transaction before the Competition Tribunal where the transaction prevents or lessens, or is likely to prevent or lessen, competition substantially in a market. The Commissioner may not make an application to the Competition Tribunal under Section 92 of the Competition Act more than one year after the merger has been substantially completed.

23

Exchange Controls

        Canada has no system of exchange controls. There are no Canadian restrictions on the repatriation of capital or earnings of a Canadian public company to non-resident investors. There are no laws in Canada or exchange restrictions affecting the remittance of dividends, profits, interest, royalties and other payments to non-resident holders of our securities, except as discussed in "Taxation" below.

Taxation

Canadian Federal Income Taxation

        The following discussion is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder of our common shares who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Income Tax Regulations (collectively, the "Canadian Tax Act") deals at arm's-length with, and is not affiliated with, our Company, beneficially owns its common shares as capital property and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold such common shares in carrying on a business in Canada and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Canadian Tax Act and the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980, as amended) (the "U.S. Treaty"), is resident in the U.S., is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and is eligible for benefits under the U.S. Treaty (a "U.S. Holder"). Special rules, which are not discussed in the summary, may apply to a non-resident holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or that is an "authorized foreign bank" as defined in the Canadian Tax Act.

        The U.S. Treaty includes limitation on benefits rules that restrict the ability of certain persons who are resident in the U.S. to claim any or all benefits under the U.S. Treaty. Furthermore, limited liability companies ("LLCs") that are not taxed as corporations pursuant to the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") do not generally qualify as resident in the U.S. for purposes of the U.S. Treaty. Under the U.S. Treaty, a resident of the U.S. who is a member of such an LLC and is otherwise eligible for benefits under the U.S. Treaty may generally be entitled to claim benefits under the U.S. Treaty in respect of income, profits or gains derived through the LLC. Residents of the U.S. should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their eligibility for benefits under the U.S. Treaty, having regard to these rules.

        This summary is based upon the current provisions of the U.S. Treaty and the Canadian Tax Act and our understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the U.S. Treaty and the Canadian Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate changes in law or administrative policies and assessing practices, whether by judicial, regulatory, administrative or legislative decision or action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice generally or to any particular holder. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.

Gains on Disposition of Common Shares

        In general, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on capital gains arising on the disposition of such holder's common shares unless the common shares are "taxable Canadian property" to the U.S. Holder and are not "treaty-protected property".

        As long as the common shares are then listed on a "designated stock exchange", which currently includes the NYSE and TSX, the common shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a U.S. Holder, unless (a) at any time during the 60-month period preceding the disposition, the U.S. Holder, persons not dealing at arm's length with such U.S. Holder or the U.S. Holder together with all such persons, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company and more than 50% of the fair market value of the common shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from any combination of (i) real or immoveable property situated in Canada, (ii) "Canadian resource property" (as such term is defined in the Tax Act), (iii) "timber resource property" (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act), or (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such properties whether or not the property exists, or (b) the common shares are otherwise deemed to be taxable Canadian property.

24

        Common shares will be treaty-protected property where the U.S. Holder is exempt from income tax under the Canadian Tax Act on the disposition of common shares because of the U.S. Treaty. Common shares owned by a U.S. Holder will generally be treaty-protected property where the value of the common shares is not derived principally from real property situated in Canada, as defined in the U.S. Treaty.

Dividends on Common Shares

        Dividends paid or credited on the common shares or deemed to be paid or credited on the common shares to a U.S. Holder that is the beneficial owner of such dividends will generally be subject to non-resident withholding tax under the Canadian Tax Act and the U.S. Treaty at the rate of (a) 5% of the amounts paid or credited if the U.S. Holder is a company that owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of our voting stock, or (b) 15% of the amounts paid or credited in all other cases. The rate of withholding under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of dividends paid to non-residents of Canada is 25% where no tax treaty applies.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

        Information required under this Item will be included in our definitive proxy statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders expected to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by this Form 10-K (the "2012 Proxy Statement"), and such required information is incorporated herein by reference.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Company and Affiliated Purchases

        On November 4, 2010, we announced that our board of directors had approved a securities repurchase program, pursuant to which we could make purchases of our common shares, convertible notes and/or senior notes, from time to time, up to an aggregate maximum value of $1.5 billion, subject to any restrictions in our financing agreements and applicable law. On August 29, 2011, we announced that our board of directors had approved an increase of $300.0 million under our securities repurchase program (the "Securities Repurchase Program"). As a result, under the Securities Repurchase Program, we could repurchase up to $1.8 billion of our convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other notes or shares that were issued prior to the completion of the program. Our board of directors also approved a sub-limit of up to 16.0 million common shares to be purchased for cancellation under a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the NYSE and TSX, subject to obtaining the appropriate approvals. Initially, purchases under our Securities Repurchase Program of up to 15.0 million common shares could be made through the facilities of the NYSE, in accordance with applicable rules and guidelines, representing approximately 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of November 4, 2010. In August 2011, we filed, and the TSX approved, a Notice of Intention to make a normal course issuer bid to repurchase up to the remaining 1,000,000 common shares through the facilities of the TSX. Shareholders of the Company may obtain a copy of the Company's Notice of Intention with respect to its normal course issuer bid, at no charge, by contacting us. The Securities Repurchase Program terminated on November 7, 2011.

        On November 3, 2011, we announced that our board of directors had approved a new securities repurchase program (the "New Securities Repurchase Program"). Under the New Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 8, 2011, we may make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of our convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares. The New Securities Repurchase Program will terminate on November 7, 2012 or at such time as we complete our purchases. The amount of securities to be purchased and the timing of purchases under the New Securities Repurchase Program may be subject to various factors, which may include the price of the securities, general market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternate investment opportunities and restrictions under our financing agreements. The securities to be repurchased will be funded using our cash resources. The board of directors also approved a sub-limit under the New Securities Repurchase Program for the repurchase of an amount of common shares equal to the greater of 10% of our public float or 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares, in each case calculated as of the date of the commencement of the New Securities Repurchase Program. We are permitted to make purchases of up to 15,395,686 common shares on the open market through the facilities of the NYSE, representing approximately 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares. Subject to completion of appropriate filings with and approval by the TSX, we may also make purchases of our common shares over the

25

facilities of the TSX. Purchases of common shares will be made at prevailing market prices of such shares on the NYSE or the TSX, as the case may be, at the time of the acquisition and shall be made in accordance with the respective rules and guidelines of the NYSE and the TSX. All common shares purchased under the New Securities Repurchase Program will be cancelled.

        During the year ended December 31, 2011, under the Securities Repurchase Program and New Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased $203.8 million and $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.375% Convertible Notes, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $619.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2011, under the Securities Repurchase Program and New Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased 13,664,599 and 1,534,857 of our common shares, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $574.1 million and $65.1 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2011, under the Securities Repurchase Program and New Securities Repurchase Program, we also redeemed $10.0 million and $89.9 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $9.9 million and $88.7 million, respectively.

        In connection with the Securities Repurchase Program, through the termination date of November 7, 2011, the Company had repurchased approximately $1.5 billion, in the aggregate, of its convertible notes, common shares and senior notes. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had repurchased approximately $157.7 million, in the aggregate, of its convertible notes, senior notes and common shares under the New Securities Repurchase Program.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

        The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 (the "2011 Financial Statements").

        Additional information relating to the Company, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (the "2011 Form 10-K"), is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") website at www.sec.gov.

        Unless otherwise indicated herein, the discussion and analysis contained in this MD&A is as of February 29, 2012.

        All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

COMPANY PROFILE

        On September 28, 2010 (the "Merger Date"), Biovail Corporation ("Biovail") completed the acquisition of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International ("Valeant") through a wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2010, with Valeant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, Biovail was renamed "Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc." ("we", "us", "our" or the "Company").

        We are a multinational, specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of pharmaceutical products. Our specialty pharmaceutical and over-the-counter ("OTC") products are marketed under brand names and are sold in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, where we focus most of our efforts on products in the dermatology and neurology therapeutic classes. We also have branded generic, branded and OTC operations in Europe, Latin America, South East Asia and South Africa.

        Since the Merger, our strategy has been to focus our business on core geographies and therapeutic classes, manage pipeline assets either internally or through strategic partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies and deploy cash with an appropriate mix of selective acquisitions, share buybacks and debt repurchases. We believe this strategy will allow us to improve both our growth rates and profitability and to enhance shareholder value, while exploiting the benefits of the Merger.

        Our leveraged research and development model described below is one key element to this business strategy. It will allow us to progress development programs to drive future commercial growth, while minimizing our research and development expense. This will be achieved in four ways:

•

structuring partnerships and collaborations so that our partners share development costs;

•

bringing products already developed for other markets to new territories;

•

acquiring dossiers and registrations for branded generic products, which require limited manufacturing start-up and development activities; and

•

selling internal development capabilities to third parties, thereby allowing higher utilization and infrastructure cost absorption.

        We are diverse not only in our sources of revenues from our broad drug portfolio, but also among the therapeutic classes and geographic segments we serve. We focus on those businesses that we view to have the potential for strong operating margins and solid growth, while providing natural balance across geographies.

28

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        We measure our success through total shareholder return and, on that basis, as of February 23, 2012, the market price of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") has increased approximately 85% and the market price of our common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has increased approximately 80%, since the Merger Date, as adjusted for the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share (the "post-Merger special dividend") described below under "BIOVAIL MERGER WITH VALEANT."

BIOVAIL MERGER WITH VALEANT

        On September 28, 2010, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail acquired all of the outstanding equity of Valeant in a share transaction, in which each share of Valeant common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 1.7809 Biovail common shares. As a result of the Merger, Valeant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The fair value of the consideration transferred as of the Merger Date to effect the acquisition of Valeant amounted to $3.9 billion in the aggregate, which has been assigned primarily to identifiable intangible assets ($3.6 billion), goodwill ($3.0 billion), long-term debt assumed ($(2.9) billion), acquired IPR&D ($1.4 billion) and a net deferred income tax liability ($(1.3) billion).

        The significant components of the acquired IPR&D assets related to the development of ezogabine/retigabine ($891.5 million) in collaboration with Glaxo Group Limited, a subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline plc (the entities within The Glaxo Group of Companies are referred throughout as "GSK"), and a number of dermatology products ($428.2 million), which are described below under "Products in Development". A multi-period excess earnings methodology (income approach) was used to determine the estimated fair value of the acquired IPR&D assets. The projected cash flows from these assets were adjusted for the probabilities of successful development and commercialization of each project. A risk-adjusted discount rate of 9% was used to determine the present value the projected cash flows. In connection with the first sale of Trobalt™ (retigabine) by GSK in the European Union in the second quarter of 2011, GSK paid us a $40 million milestone payment and will pay up to a 20% royalty on net sales of the product (see "Collaboration Agreement" below for further details). Material cash inflows are expected to commence between 2013 and 2016 for the dermatology products. Solely for purposes of estimating the fair value of these assets, we have estimated that we will incur costs of approximately $200 million, of which $26.4 million has been incurred through December 31, 2011, to complete the products in development.

        The aggregate fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $21.6 million as of the Merger Date and is related to Valeant's acquisition of Princeton Pharma Holdings LLC, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Aton Pharma, Inc. ("Aton"). The contingent consideration consists of future milestones predominantly based upon achievement of approval and commercial targets for certain pipeline products (which are included in the fair value ascribed to the IPR&D assets acquired). The range of the undiscounted amounts we could be obligated to pay as contingent consideration ranges from nil to $390.0 million. During 2011, we suspended the development of the A002 program. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized an impairment charge of $16.3 million to write down the IPR&D asset, which was recognized as Acquired IPR&D in our consolidated statements of income (loss). Refer to "Results of Operations — Acquired IPR&D" for further details regarding IPR&D impairment charges. The impairment charges were partially offset by a gain of $9.4 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in our consolidated statements of income (loss).

        On December 22, 2010, we paid a post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share. The post-Merger special dividend comprised aggregate cash paid of $297.6 million and 72,283 shares issued to shareholders that elected to reinvest in additional common shares of the Company through a special dividend reinvestment plan, which plan was terminated following payment of the post-Merger special dividend.

        The Merger has resulted in, and is expected to continue to result in, significant strategic benefits to us through the creation of a larger, more globally diversified company with a broader and better diversified array of products and an expanded presence in North America and internationally. In addition, the market

29

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

capitalization, profitability and our free cash flow are, and are expected to continue to be, stronger relative to either Biovail or Valeant on a stand-alone basis. We have achieved significant operational cost savings, coming from, among other things, reductions in research and development, general and administrative expenses, and sales and marketing.

        The Merger has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Biovail was both the legal and accounting acquirer in the Merger. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Valeant from the Merger Date.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

        Since the Merger, we have focused the business on core geographies and therapeutic classes through selective acquisitions, dispositions and strategic partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies. As described below, we have completed a number of transactions to expand our dermatology and branded generic product portfolios.

iNova

        On December 21, 2011, we acquired iNova from Archer Capital, Ironbridge Capital and other minority management shareholders. We made upfront payments of $656.7 million (AUD$657.9 million), and we will pay a series of potential milestones of up to $59.9 million (AUD$60.0 million) based on the success of pipeline activities, product registrations and overall revenue. The fair value of the contingent payments was determined to be $44.5 million as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2011, the assumptions used for determining the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration have not changed significantly from those used at the acquisition date.

        The total fair value of consideration transferred of $701.2 million is comprised primarily of identifiable intangible assets ($424.0 million), goodwill ($211.8 million) and inventory ($43.4 million).

        In connection with the transaction, in November and December 2011, we entered into foreign currency forward-exchange contracts to buy AUD$625.0 million, which were settled on December 20, 2011. We have recorded a $16.4 million foreign exchange gain on the settlement of these contracts, which was recognized in Foreign exchange and other in our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        iNova sells and distributes a range of prescription and OTC products in Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and South Africa. iNova owns, develops and markets a diversified portfolio of prescription and OTC pharmaceutical products in the Asia Pacific region and South Africa, including leading therapeutic weight management brands such as Duromine®/Metermine®, as well as leading OTC brands in the cold and cough area, such as Difflam®, Duro-Tuss® and Rikodeine®.

Dermik

        On December 16, 2011, we acquired Dermik, a dermatological unit of Sanofi in the U.S. and Canada, as well as the worldwide rights to Sculptra® and Sculptra® Aesthetic, for a total cash purchase price of approximately $420.5 million. The acquisition includes Dermik's inventories and manufacturing facility located in Laval, Quebec. As described below, in connection with the acquisition of Dermik, we were required by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") to divest 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide gel, a generic version of BenzaClin®, and 5% fluorouracil cream, an authorized generic of Efudex®.

        The total fair value of the consideration transferred of $420.5 million is comprised primarily of identifiable intangible assets ($341.7 million), property, plant and equipment ($39.6 million) and inventory ($32.4 million).

30

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        Dermik is a leading global medical dermatology business focused on the manufacturing, marketing and sale of therapeutic and aesthetic dermatology products.

Ortho Dermatologics

        On December 12, 2011, we acquired assets of the Ortho Dermatologics division of Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Janssen"), for a total cash purchase price of approximately $346.1 million. The assets acquired include prescription brands Retin-A Micro®, Ertaczo®, Renova® and Biafine®.

        The total fair value of the consideration transferred of $346.1 million is comprised primarily of identifiable intangible assets ($333.6 million).

        Ortho Dermatologics is a leader in the field of dermatology and, over the years, has developed several products to treat skin disorders and dermatologic conditions.

Afexa

        On October 17, 2011, we acquired 73.8% (80,929,921 common shares) of the outstanding common shares of Afexa Life Sciences Inc. ("Afexa") for cash consideration of $67.7 million. The acquisition date fair value of the 26.2% noncontrolling interest in Afexa of $23.8 million was estimated using quoted market prices on such date. At a special meeting of Afexa shareholders held on December 12, 2011, a subsequent acquisition transaction was approved resulting in the privatization of Afexa and the remaining shareholders receiving C$0.85 per share. Consequently, as of December 31, 2011, we owned 100% of Afexa.

        The total fair value of the consideration transferred of $91.5 million is comprised primarily of identifiable intangible assets ($80.6 million), inventory ($22.5 million) and a net deferred tax liability ($(20.5) million).

        Afexa currently markets several consumer brands, such as Cold-FX®, an OTC cold and flu treatment, and Coldsore-FX®, a topical OTC cold sore treatment.

Sanitas

        On August 19, 2011 (the "Sanitas Acquisition Date"), we acquired 87.2% of the outstanding shares of AB Sanitas ("Sanitas") for cash consideration of $392.3 million. Prior to the Sanitas Acquisition Date, we acquired 1,502,432 shares of Sanitas, which represented approximately 4.8% of the outstanding shares. As a result, as of the Sanitas Acquisition Date, we held a controlling financial interest in Sanitas of 92%, or 28,625,025 shares. The acquisition date fair value of the 8% noncontrolling interest in Sanitas of $34.8 million and the acquisition date fair value of the previously-held 4.8% equity interest of $21.1 million, were estimated using quoted market prices on such date. On September 2, 2011, we announced a mandatory non-competitive tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase the remaining outstanding ordinary shares of Sanitas from all public shareholders at €10.06 per share. The Tender Offer closed on September 15, 2011, on which date we purchased an additional 1,968,631 shares (6.4% of the outstanding shares of Sanitas) for approximately $27.4 million. As a result of this purchase, we owned 30,593,656 shares or approximately 98.4% of Sanitas as of September 15, 2011. On September 22, 2011, we received approval from the Securities Commission of the Republic of Lithuania to conduct the mandatory tender offer through squeeze out procedures (the "Squeeze Out") at a price per one ordinary share of Sanitas equal to €10.06, which requested that all minority shareholders sell to us, the ordinary shares of Sanitas owned by them (512,264 ordinary shares, or 1.6% of Sanitas). The noncontrolling interest in Sanitas of approximately 1.6% to be acquired through the Squeeze Out procedures was classified as a liability in our consolidated balance sheet as it is mandatorily redeemable. As of December 31, 2011, the estimated amount due to Sanitas shareholders of $2.4 million was included in Accrued liabilities.

        The total fair value of the consideration transferred of $448.2 million is comprised primarily of the identifiable intangible assets ($247.1 million) and goodwill ($204.8 million).

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        Sanitas has a broad branded generics product portfolio consisting of 390 products in nine countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, Russia and Lithuania. Sanitas has in-house development capabilities in dermatology, hospital injectables and ophthalmology, and a pipeline of internally developed and acquired dossiers.

Elidel®/Xerese®

        On June 29, 2011, we entered into a license agreement with Meda Pharma SARL ("Meda") to acquire the exclusive rights to commercialize both Elidel® Cream and Xerese® Cream in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In addition, we and Meda have the right to undertake development work in respect of Elidel® and Xerese® products. We made an upfront payment to Meda of $76.0 million, and are obligated to pay a series of potential milestones of up to $16.0 million and guaranteed royalties totaling $120.0 million in the aggregate through 2011 and 2012. Thereafter, we will pay a double-digit royalty to Meda on net sales of Elidel®, Xerese® and Zovirax®, including additional minimum royalties of $120.0 million in the aggregate during 2013-2015. The fair value of the upfront and contingent consideration, inclusive of royalty payments, was determined to be $437.7 million as of the acquisition date. As the majority of the contingent consideration relates to future royalty payments, the amount ultimately to be paid under this arrangement will be dependent on the future sales levels of Elidel®, Xerese®, and Zovirax®. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the royalty payments associated with this transaction are treated as part of the consideration paid for the business, and therefore we will not recognize royalty expense in our consolidated statements of income (loss) for these products. The royalty payments are being recorded as a reduction to the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a loss of $11.2 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The loss was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in our consolidated statements of income (loss). During the year ended December 31, 2011, we made $28.5 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration payments, including royalties and milestones, related to this transaction. In January 2012, we made additional royalty and milestone payments totaling $27.5 million.

        The total fair value of the consideration transferred is comprised primarily of product brands intangible assets ($406.4 million), acquired IPR&D assets ($33.5 million) and a net deferred tax liability ($(2.2) million). The acquired IPR&D assets relate to the development of a Xerese® life-cycle product. The projected cash flows from the acquired IPR&D assets were adjusted for the probability of successful development and commercialization of the product. A risk-adjusted discount rate of 13% was used to present value the projected cash flows. Material cash inflows for the Xerese® life-cycle product are expected to commence in 2014. We have estimated that we will incur costs of approximately $14.0 million to complete the project.

Zovirax®

        On February 22, 2011 and March 25, 2011, we acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights, respectively, to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® from GSK. Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreements, we paid GSK an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in cash for both the U.S. and Canadian rights. We had been marketing Zovirax® in the U.S. since January 1, 2002, under a 20-year exclusive distribution agreement with GSK, which distribution agreement terminated following the closing of the U.S. transaction. We have entered into new supply agreements and new trademark license agreements with GSK with respect to the U.S. and Canadian territories.

PharmaSwiss

        On March 10, 2011, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of PharmaSwiss S.A. ("PharmaSwiss"), a privately-owned branded generics and OTC pharmaceutical company based in Zug, Switzerland. As of the acquisition date, the total consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of PharmaSwiss comprised cash paid of $491.2 million (€353.1 million) and the rights to contingent consideration

32

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

payments of up to $41.7 million (€30.0 million) if certain net sales milestones of PharmaSwiss were achieved for the 2011 calendar year.

        The fair value of the contingent payments was determined to be $27.5 million as of the acquisition date. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a gain of $13.2 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in our consolidated statements of income (loss). We are determining whether a contingent consideration payment of $13.0 million (€10.0 million) is payable based on the net sales results for the 2011 calendar year.

        The total fair value of consideration transferred of $518.7 million is comprised primarily of identifiable intangible assets ($209.2 million), goodwill ($159.7 million) and inventories ($70.3 million).

        PharmaSwiss is an existing partner to several large pharmaceutical and biotech companies offering regional expertise in such functions as regulatory, compliance, sales, marketing and distribution, in addition to developing its own product portfolio. Through its business operations, PharmaSwiss offers a broad product portfolio in seven therapeutic areas and operations in 19 countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, including Serbia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland, as well as in Greece and Israel.

Lodalis™

        On February 9, 2011, we acquired the Canadian rights to Lodalis™ (colesevelam hydrochloride), an oral bile acid sequestrant for hypercholesterolemia, from Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") for a $2.0 million upfront payment, to be followed by potential future milestone payments totaling up to $7.0 million. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use and, accordingly, the upfront payment was charged to acquired IPR&D expense as of the acquisition date. In the second quarter of 2011, we made a first milestone payment of $2.0 million to Genzyme, which was charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the period. In September 2011, colesevelam hydrochloride received regulatory approval from Health Canada, in the form of a Notice of Compliance ("NOC"), for commercialization in Canada, which triggered an additional milestone payment of $5.0 million, which we paid in October 2011. We recognized this milestone as an intangible asset in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. Subsequently, we filed for a product name change and a manufacturer name change, and the NOC for Lodalis™ was received from Health Canada on December 28, 2011. The product was launched in Canada in February 2012.

Ribavirin

        On November 1, 2010, we paid Kadmon Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Kadmon") $7.5 million for exclusive rights to certain dosage forms of ribavirin in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. Ribavirin is indicated for the treatment of viral diseases, including hepatitis C virus. The total purchase price has been capitalized as a product right intangible asset.

        Under a separate agreement dated November 1, 2010, we granted Kadmon an exclusive, worldwide license to taribavirin, excluding the territory of Japan, in exchange for an upfront payment of $5.0 million, other development milestones, and royalty payments in the range of 8-12% of future net sales. The fair value associated with ribavirin was included in the acquired IPR&D assets identified as of the Merger Date.

Hamilton Brands

        On October 29, 2010, we acquired the intellectual property, trademarks and inventory related to the Hamilton skin care brand in Australia for cash consideration of $14.7 million. The purchase price was allocated to the trademark intangible asset ($11.7 million) and inventory ($3.0 million).

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Other Acquisitions

        In 2011, we acquired Ganehill Pty Limited ("Ganehill"), an Australian company engaged in the marketing and distribution of skin care products under the Invisible Zinc® brand. The fair value of the total cash and contingent consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of Ganehill was $19.4 million, which was assigned primarily to product brands intangible assets ($12.7 million) and goodwill ($5.4 million). In addition, we acquired the product rights in Greece for Procef®, Niflamol®, Superace®, and Monopril® for total consideration of $12.0 million, which was assigned primarily to identifiable intangible assets, and we also acquired certain other businesses, including the Canadian rights to Aczone™, Delatestryl® and Viroptic®, for approximately $17.7 million in the aggregate, which was assigned primarily to identifiable intangible assets. We also acquired from Fleming and Company, Pharmaceuticals the product rights to a number of brands, including Ocean® and Nephrocaps®. The fair value of the total consideration transferred was $15.7 million, which was assigned primarily to product brands intangible assets.

Divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU

        In connection with the acquisition of Dermik, we were required by the FTC to divest 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide gel ("IDP-111"), a generic version of BenzaClin®, and 5% fluorouracil cream ("5-FU"), an authorized generic of Efudex®.

        On February 3, 2012, we sold the IDP-111 and 5-FU products to Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for $66.2 million in cash. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we recognized $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of the carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less costs to sell. The impairment charges are included in Amortization of intangible assets in our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011. The adjusted carrying values of $54.4 million and $14.8 million for IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively, were classified as Assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and are included within the U.S. Dermatology reporting segment.

Cloderm®

        On March 31, 2011, we out-licensed product rights to Cloderm® Cream, 0.1%, in the U.S. to Promius Pharma LLC, an affiliate of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, in exchange for a $36.0 million upfront payment, which was received in early April 2011, and future royalty payments. In connection with the out-license of product rights to Cloderm®, we recognized the upfront payment as alliance revenue in the first quarter of 2011, and expensed the $30.7 million carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets as cost of alliance revenue. We are recognizing the future royalty payments as alliance revenue as they are earned.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

PRODUCTS IN DEVELOPMENT

        The following products, among others, are currently (or were during 2011) in clinical development:

•

Ezogabine/Retigabine

In collaboration with GSK, we are developing a compound as an adjunctive treatment for partial-onset seizures in patients with epilepsy whose generic name will be ezogabine in the U.S. and retigabine in all other countries. Ezogabine/retigabine stabilizes hyper-excited neurons primarily by opening neuronal potassium channels. On October 30, 2009, an NDA was filed for ezogabine for the treatment of refractory partial-onset seizures and the FDA accepted the NDA for review on December 29, 2009. On August 30, 2010, the FDA extended the Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") goal date for ezogabine to November 30, 2010 due to the recent submission of a solicited formal Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy ("REMS"). The REMS was requested by the FDA in correspondence dated August 16, 2010, and was submitted to the FDA on August 26, 2010. On November 30, 2010, we received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA for ezogabine. We evaluated the Complete Response Letter in which the FDA cited non-clinical reasons for this action and provided a reply on April 15, 2011. The FDA approved the drug under the name Potiga™ on June 10, 2011. The Drug Enforcement Administration published a Proposed Rule in the Federal Register to place ezogabine in Schedule V (C-V) of the US Controlled Substance Act on October 21, 2011. The Final Rule was published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2011 and became effective on the same date. Product launch is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2012.

Also, the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") confirmed on November 17, 2009 that the Marketing Authorization Application ("MAA") filed on October 30, 2009 for ezogabine/retigabine was successfully validated, thus enabling the MAA review to commence. In January 2011, the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use ("CHMP") issued an opinion recommending marketing authorization for Trobalt™ (retigabine) as an adjunctive (add-on) treatment of partial-onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization in adults aged 18 years and above with epilepsy. The European Commission adopted the CHMP opinion authorizing Trobalt™ for marketing on March 28, 2011. Additionally, retigabine received a preliminary approval from the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products, Swissmedic, in December 2010 and subsequently received final approval on April 1, 2011. Marketing approvals have also occurred in Norway (April 1, 2011), Iceland (April 19, 2011), Chile (July 12, 2011) and Malaysia (January 3, 2012). A New Drug Submission ("NDS") for marketing approval was filed with the Therapeutic Products Directorate ("TPD") of Health Canada on October 28, 2011. The screening acceptance by Health Canada was obtained in December 2011. Once screened, the NDS is targeted to be reviewed within 300 days from the date of screening acceptance.

Evaluation and progression of a modified release formulation is ongoing. A lead formulation has been selected for evaluation in patients, and FDA feedback on the program development plan has been obtained.

•

Cold-FX ® pediatric development

Cold-FX® for adults, acquired from Afexa in October 2011, has been marketed in Canada since 1996 and as a Natural Health Product since 2004. The current approved indication is to reduce the frequency, severity and duration of colds and flu by boosting the immune system. A Phase 3b study to evaluate the efficacy and safety in children is ongoing. This multi-center study is investigating the potential benefits of three day dosing of Cold-FX® in reducing cold and flu symptoms in children. We anticipate filing a pediatric indication in the fourth quarter of 2012.

•

Opana® ER

Oxymorphone (oxymorphone hydrochloride) is an opioid analgesic that has been available in the U.S. in both parenteral and rectal formulations since 1960. Opana® ER is indicated in patients requiring continuous, around-the-clock opioid treatment for an extended period of time. The NDS for marketing approval for Opana® ER was filed in Canada on February 26, 2010. A Notice of Non-Compliance letter ("NON") was received on June 8, 2011, in which Health Canada requested an update of the risk management plan. The response to the NON letter was submitted on October 8, 2011, and we expect to receive feedback from Health Canada in the second quarter of 2012.

•

Lodalis™

Lodalis™ (colesevelam hydrochloride) is indicated for the reduction of cholesterol blood level in patients with hypercholesterolemia as an adjunct to diet in patients who are not adequately controlled with statin alone, or who are unable to tolerate a statin. We acquired the rights to Lodalis™ for the Canadian market from Genzyme. The NOC for colesevelam hydrochloride was received from Health Canada on September 22, 2011, and following a submission by Valeant for a product name change, the NOC for Lodalis™ was received in December 28, 2011. The product launched in Canada in February 2012.

Dermatology Products

        A number of dermatology product candidates are in development including:

•

IDP-107 is an investigational oral treatment for moderate to severe acne vulgaris. Acne is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit characterized by the presence of inflammatory (pimples) and non-inflammatory (whiteheads and blackheads) lesions, predominately on the face. Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder that affects about 85% of people at some point in their lives. We are in the process of completing a Phase 2b clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IDP-107.

•

IDP-108 (efinaconazole), a novel triazole compound, is an antifungal targeted to treat onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the fingernails and toenails primarily in older adults. Valeant holds an exclusive license from Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., to commercialize efinaconazole in North America, Central America, South America and the European Union. The mechanism of antifungal activity appears similar to other antifungal triazoles, i.e., ergosterol synthesis inhibition. IDP-108 is a non-lacquer formulation designed for topical delivery into the nail. We have now completed two Phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IDP-108. Preliminary data showed the investigation drug product IDP-108 to be statistically superior (p<0.001) to placebo for all primary and secondary endpoints and was found to be generally safe and well tolerated. We anticipate filling a New Drug Application ("NDA") in the U.S. and NDS in Canada in 2012.

•

IDP-118 is a topical investigational drug product targeted to treat psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. This product is currently in Phase 2 stage of development.

•

We acquired certain rights to an investigational compound as part of the Ortho Dermatologics acquisition in December 2011, MC-5, a Human Melanocortin-5 Receptor Antagonist (MC5-RA). It represents a 1st in class drug whose mechanism of action results in the suppression of sebum production by sebaceous glands. We are currently conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial with this compound for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.

•

Lifecycle Management Projects

Through Valeant's acquisition of Aton in May 2010, we have an ongoing lifecycle management program in place for Lacrisert®, which is in our ophthalmology portfolio. In addition, lifecycle management opportunities are being evaluated for recently acquired dermatology compounds, including Elidel®,

36

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Xerese®, and Retin-A Micro®. We are developing improvements to these compounds to better meet the needs expressed by the medical community.

COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

        In October 2008, Valeant closed the License and Collaboration Agreement (the "Collaboration Agreement") to develop ezogabine/retigabine in collaboration with GSK. Pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Valeant granted co-development rights and worldwide commercialization rights to GSK.

        Valeant agreed to share equally with GSK the development and pre-commercialization expenses of ezogabine/retigabine in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Puerto Rico (the "Collaboration Territory"). Following the launch of an ezogabine/retigabine product, we will share equally in the profits of ezogabine/retigabine in the Collaboration Territory. In addition, Valeant granted GSK an exclusive license to develop and commercialize retigabine in countries outside of the Collaboration Territory and certain backup compounds to ezogabine/retigabine worldwide. GSK is responsible for all expenses outside of the Collaboration Territory and will solely fund the development of any backup compound. We will receive up to a 20% royalty on net sales of retigabine outside of the Collaboration Territory. In addition, if backup compounds are developed and commercialized by GSK, GSK will pay us royalties of up to 20% of net sales of products based upon such backup compounds.

        Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, GSK will pay us up to $545.0 million, of which $40.0 million was received and recognized by us in the second quarter of 2011, as described below, based upon the achievement of certain regulatory, commercialization and sales milestones, and the development of additional indications for ezogabine/retigabine. GSK will also pay us up to an additional $150.0 million if certain regulatory and commercialization milestones are achieved for backup compounds to ezogabine/retigabine.

        In March 2011, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Trobalt™ (retigabine) as an adjunctive treatment of partial onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization in adults aged 18 years and above with epilepsy. In June 2011, the FDA approved the NDA for Potiga™ (ezogabine) tablets as adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients aged 18 years and older; however, the FDA recommended that ezogabine be scheduled as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act prior to the marketing or launch of Potiga™. In December 2011, ezogabine/retigabine received scheduling as a controlled substance, which triggered the commencement of amortization.

        In connection with the first sale of Trobalt™ by GSK in the European Union (which occurred in early May 2011), GSK paid us a $40.0 million milestone payment and will pay up to a 20% royalty on net sales of the product. Upon the first sale of Potiga™ in the U.S. (which is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2012), GSK will pay us a $45.0 million milestone payment, and we will share up to 50% of the net profits from the sale of Potiga™. We are recognizing the milestone payments as alliance and royalty revenue upon achievement. Our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase through the second quarter of 2012, in connection with pre-launch activities associated with Potiga™.

        Our rights to ezogabine/retigabine are subject to an asset purchase agreement between Meda Pharma GmbH & Co. KG ("Meda Pharma") and Xcel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was acquired by Valeant in 2005 (the "Meda Pharma Agreement"). Under the Meda Pharma Agreement, we are required to make certain milestone and royalty payments to Meda Pharma. Within the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, any royalty payments to Meda Pharma will be shared by us and GSK. In the rest of the world, we will be responsible for the payment of these royalties to Meda Pharma from the royalty payments we receive from GSK. In connection with the approval of the NDA for Potiga™, we made a $6.0 million milestone payment to Meda Pharma in the second quarter of 2011. As this potential milestone payment had been included in the estimated net future cash flows used to determine the fair value for the ezogabine/retigabine IPR&D assets as of the Merger Date, the payment of this milestone to Meda Pharma was recorded as an addition to the value of those assets.

RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION

Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

        The complementary nature of the Biovail and Valeant businesses has provided an opportunity to capture significant operating synergies from reductions in research and development, general and administrative expenses, and sales and marketing. In total, we have identified approximately $350 million of annual cost synergies that we expect to realize by the end of 2012. Approximately $315 million of cost synergies were realized in 2011. This amount does not include potential revenue synergies or the potential benefits of expanding the Biovail corporate structure to Valeant's operations.

        We have implemented cost-rationalization and integration initiatives to capture operating synergies and generate cost savings across the Company. These measures included:

•

workforce reductions across the Company and other organizational changes;

•

closing of duplicative facilities and other site rationalization actions company-wide, including research and development facilities, sales offices and corporate facilities;

•

leveraging research and development spend; and

•

procurement savings.

        We estimate that we will incur total costs in the range of up to $185 million (of which the non-cash component, including share-based compensation, is expected to be approximately $55 million) in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, of which $181.8 million has been incurred as of December 31, 2011. These costs include: employee termination costs (including related share-based payments) payable to approximately 500 employees of Biovail and Valeant who have been terminated as a result of Merger; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer to other parties of product-development programs that did not align with our research and development model; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees, asset impairment charges to write down property, plant and equipment to fair value; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs.

        The following table summarizes the major components of costs incurred in connection with our Merger-related initiatives through December 31, 2011:

	Employee Termination Costs
										Contract Termination, Facility Closure and Other Costs

As described below under "— Research and Development Pipeline Rationalization".

        We do not record restructuring costs in our business segments.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Employee Termination Costs

        We recognized employee termination costs of $14.5 million and $58.7 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, for severance and related benefits payable to approximately 500 employees of Biovail and Valeant who have been terminated as a result of the Merger. These reductions primarily reflect the elimination of redundancies and consolidation of staff in the research and development, general and administrative and sales and marketing functions. As of December 31, 2011, $72.1 million of the termination costs had been paid, and we expect that the remaining costs will be paid in the first quarter of 2012.

        In addition, we recognized incremental share-based compensation expense of $3.5 million and $49.5 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to stock options and restricted share units ("RSUs") held by terminated employees of Biovail and Valeant.

Research and Development Pipeline Rationalization

        Prior to the Merger, our product development and business development efforts were focused on unmet medical needs in specialty central nervous system ("CNS") disorders. Since the Merger, we have been employing a leveraged research and development model that allows us to progress development programs, while minimizing research and development expense, through partnerships and other means. In consideration of this model, following the Merger, we conducted a strategic and financial review of our product development pipeline and identified the programs that did not align with our new research and development model. As a result, we recognized IPR&D termination charges of $13.8 million related to negotiated settlements with counterparties, which we recognized and paid in the fourth quarter of 2010.

        In addition to the settlement payments described above, we incurred internal and external costs of $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 that were directly associated with the fulfillment of our remaining contractual obligations under these terminated arrangements, which costs have been recognized as restructuring costs.

Contract Termination, Facility Closure and Other Costs

        Facility closure costs incurred in 2011 included a $9.8 million charge for the remaining operating lease obligations (net of estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained) related to our vacated Mississauga, Ontario corporate office facility and a charge of $1.4 million related to a lease termination payment on our Aliso Viejo, California corporate office facility. We have transitioned a number of our corporate office functions to Bridgewater, New Jersey. As a result, a portion of the previously vacated space in the Bridgewater facility have been reoccupied, resulting in a $2.0 million reversal of a previously recognized restructuring accrual related to that space.

        In addition to costs associated with our Merger-related initiatives, we incurred $50.9 million of integration-related costs in 2011, of which $37.5 million had been paid as of December 31, 2011. These costs were primarily related to the integration of operations following the acquisitions of Afexa, PharmaSwiss, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, Sanitas and iNova, the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities in Brazil, and worldwide systems integration initiatives. We have identified approximately $200 million, in the aggregate, in expected annualized cost synergies related to these acquisitions. In 2011, we began implementing the actions necessary to realize these synergies, and we anticipate that the implementation will be completed in 2012.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Pre-Merger Cost Rationalization Initiatives

        In May 2008, we initiated restructuring measures that were intended to rationalize our manufacturing operations, pharmaceutical sciences operations, and general and administrative expenses. The following costs were incurred in connection with these initiatives during the three year ended December 31, 2011:

Manufacturing Operations

        On January 15, 2010, we completed the sale of our Dorado, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility for net cash proceeds of $8.5 million.

        As of September 30, 2010, we completed the transfer of remaining manufacturing processes from our Carolina, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility to our plant in Steinbach, Manitoba. Following the end of production, we incurred internal and external costs of $1.3 million directly associated with the final shutdown of the Carolina facility, which costs have been recognized as restructuring costs. We also recorded an impairment charge of $0.4 million in 2010 to write off the remaining carrying value of the Carolina facility after unsuccessful efforts to locate a buyer for the facility.

        We incurred employee termination costs of $9.6 million in total in 2010 for severance and related benefits payable to the approximately 240 employees terminated as a result of the closure of the Dorado and Carolina facilities. As these employees were required to provide service during the shutdown period in order to be eligible for termination benefits, we were recognizing the cost of those termination benefits ratably over the estimated future service period.

        In 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $7.6 million to write down the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment located in Puerto Rico to its estimated fair value.

Pharmaceutical Sciences Operations

        On July 23, 2010, we completed the sale of our contract research division ("CRD") to Lambda Therapeutic Research Inc. ("Lambda") for net cash proceeds of $6.4 million. We no longer considered CRD a strategic fit as a result of our pre-Merger transition from reformulation programs to the in-licensing, acquisition and

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

development of specialty CNS products. CRD has not been treated as a discontinued operation for accounting purposes, on the basis that its operations were immaterial and incidental to our core business.

        The net assets of CRD at the date of disposal comprised net current assets and liabilities of $1.6 million and property, plant and equipment of $4.8 million. We recognized employee termination costs of $1.9 million for the approximately 70 CRD employees not offered employment by Lambda.

        Prior to 2010, we completed the closure of our research and development facilities in Mississauga, Ontario and Dublin, Ireland, and the consolidation of our previous research and development operations in Chantilly, Virginia.

Corporate Headquarters

        In November 2009, we completed the sale and leaseback of our corporate headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario for net proceeds of $17.8 million. We recognized a loss on disposal of $11.0 million. In June 2011, we vacated this facility. Refer above under "Restructuring and Integration — Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives — Contract Termination, Facility Closure and Other Costs", for further discussion.

U.S. HEALTHCARE REFORM

        In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was enacted in the U.S. This healthcare reform legislation contains several provisions that impact our business. Provisions of the new legislation include: (i) an increase in the minimum Medicaid rebate to states participating in the Medicaid program from 15.1% to 23.1% on covered drugs; (ii) the extension of the Medicaid rebate to Managed Care Organizations that dispense drugs to Medicaid beneficiaries; and (iii) the expansion of the 340(B) Public Health Services drug pricing program, which provides outpatient drugs at reduced rates, to include additional hospitals, clinics, and healthcare centers.

        Commencing in 2011, the new legislation requires that drug manufacturers provide a 50% discount to Medicare beneficiaries whose prescription drug costs cause them to be subject to the Medicare Part D coverage gap. In addition, commencing in 2011, a new fee has been assessed on prescription drug manufacturers and importers that sell branded prescription drugs to specified U.S. government programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid). This fee is calculated based upon each entity's relative share of total applicable branded prescription drug sales to specified U.S. government programs for the preceding calendar year. The aggregate industry wide fee is expected to total $28.0 billion through 2019, ranging from $2.5 billion to $4.1 billion annually.

        This new legislation did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations in 2011 or 2010. In 2011, we made a total payment of $0.6 million related to the annual fee assessed on prescription drug manufacturers and importers that sell branded prescription drugs to specified U.S. government programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid). We have also incurred a cost of $6.0 million on Medicare Part D utilization incurred by beneficiaries whose prescription drug costs cause them to be subject to the Medicare Part D coverage gap (i.e., the "donut hole").

        Various legal challenges have been filed against this new legislation, with some lower courts reaching conflicting decisions. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear argument on these challenges in March 2012. We cannot predict at this time what impact these challenges will have on our business.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        As described above under "Biovail Merger with Valeant", our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows reflect Biovail's stand-alone operations as they existed prior to the completion of the Merger. The results of Valeant's business have been included in our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows only for the period subsequent to the completion of the Merger. Therefore, our financial results for 2010 do not reflect a full year of Valeant's operations.

Financial Performance

Changes in Revenues

        Total revenues increased $1,282.2 million, or 109%, to $2,463.5 million in 2011, compared with $1,181.2 million in 2010, primarily due to:

•

incremental revenues from Valeant products and services of $860.1 million in 2011;

•

the inclusion of PharmaSwiss revenues from the acquisition date of $199.9 million in 2011;

•

the inclusion of Sanitas revenues from the Sanitas Acquisition Date of $49.6 million in 2011;

•

the inclusion of Elidel® and Xerese® revenues of $46.0 million in 2011;

•

alliance revenue of $40.0 million recognized in the second quarter of 2011, related to the milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt™;

•

alliance revenue of $36.0 million recognized in the first quarter of 2011 on the out-license of the Cloderm® product rights in March 2011; and

•

the inclusion of Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics and Afexa revenues from the acquisition dates of $7.6 million, $9.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2011.

        Total revenues increased $360.8 million, or 44%, to $1,181.2 million in 2010, compared with $820.4 million in 2009, primarily due to:

•

the addition of revenues from Valeant products and services of $274.6 million for the period from the Merger Date to December 31, 2010;

•

an increase of $37.2 million in Xenazine® product sales, reflecting increased patient enrollment in the U.S. and the addition of rest-of-world sales following the tetrabenazine acquisition in June 2009;

42

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

•

an increase of $25.8 million in Wellbutrin XL® product sales, mainly due to incremental revenue following the acquisition of the full U.S. commercialization rights in May 2009, partially offset by declines in prescription volumes due to generic competition; and

•

an increase of $20.6 million related to increased demand for our generic Tiazac® product in the U.S., attributable to competitors' manufacturing issues.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

a decline in Ultram® ER and Cardizem® LA product sales of $46.9 million in the aggregate, due to the impact of generic competition.

Changes in Earnings

        Net income increased $367.8 million to $159.6 million (basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.52 and $0.49, respectively) in 2011, compared with net loss of $208.2 million (basic and diluted loss per share of $1.06) in 2010, reflecting the following factors:

•

an increased contribution (product sales revenue less cost of goods sold, exclusive of amortization of intangible assets) of $833.5 million, mainly related to the incremental contribution of Valeant ($549.5 million), PharmaSwiss ($60.0 million), Elidel®/Xerese® ($35.8 million), Sanitas ($27.0 million), Ortho Dermatologics ($8.3 million), Afexa ($7.6 million), and Dermik ($4.1 million). In addition the increase was due to higher volumes and pricing for Xenazine® product and a lower supply price for Zovirax® inventory purchased from GSK, as a result of the new supply agreement that became effective with the acquisition of the U.S. rights;

•

an increase in the recovery of income taxes of $149.5 million, mainly attributable to significant expenses in the U.S., including but not limited to IPR&D charges, amortization, and interest expense. The U.S. has the highest statutory rate relative to all other tax jurisdictions in which we do business, resulting in an overall net tax recovery for the worldwide income tax provision;

•

an increase in alliance and royalty revenue of $137.4 million, mainly related to the incremental royalty (IDP-111) and service revenue from Valeant of $64.3 million, alliance revenue of $40.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 related to the milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt™ and the alliance revenue of $36.0 million recognized in the first quarter of 2011 on the out-license of the Cloderm® product rights in March 2011;

•

decreases of $43.2 million in restructuring charges and integration costs, as described below under "Results of Operations — Operating Expenses — Restructuring and Integration Costs";

•

decreases of $40.8 million in legal settlements, as described below under "Results of Operations — Operating Expenses — Legal Settlements";

•

a $21.3 million net realized gain on the disposal of our equity investment in Cephalon, Inc. ("Cephalon"), which was realized in the second quarter of 2011 (as described below under "Results of Operations — Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net"); and

•

a $19.1 million net gain realized on foreign currency forward contracts entered in connection with the acquisitions of iNova and PharmaSwiss in 2011, as described below under "Results of Operations — Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Foreign Exchange and Other".

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

increases of $338.1 million in amortization expense, primarily related to the acquired identifiable intangible assets of Valeant ($246.0 million), Elidel®/Xerese® ($26.4 million), PharmaSwiss ($25.4 million), Zovirax® ($22.6 million), and Sanitas ($11.4 million), the impairment charges of $7.9 million and $19.8 million related to the write-down of the carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU

43

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less costs to sell, as well as an impairment of intangible assets of $12.8 million related to certain OTC products sold in Brazil;

•

an increase of $295.9 million in selling, general and administrative expense, as described below under "Results of Operations — Operating Expenses — Selling, general and administrative";

•

increases of $248.7 million in interest expense, reflecting $243.4 million related to the legacy Valeant debt assumed as of the Merger Date (partially reduced by the repayment of the Term Loan A Facility in the first quarter of 2011) and the post-Merger issuances of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011, $25.3 million related to the borrowings under our senior secured term loan facility in the third quarter of 2011 and the borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities in the fourth quarter of 2011, partially offset by a decrease of $19.2 million in interest expense related to the repurchases of 5.375% Convertible Notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)"); and

•

increases of $20.0 million in acquired IPR&D costs. We recognized IPR&D impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2011 of $105.2 million, as described below under "Results of Operations — Operating Expenses — Acquired IPR&D".

        Net income declined $384.6 million to a net loss of $208.2 million (basic and diluted loss per share of $1.06) in 2010, compared with net income of $176.5 million (basic and diluted EPS of $1.11) in 2009, reflecting the following factors:

•

the inclusion of $134.8 million of Merger-related restructuring charges and $38.3 million of Merger-related transaction costs in 2010;

•

a $115.0 million increase in amortization expense, primarily related to the identifiable intangible assets of Valeant ($86.4 million) and the Wellbutrin XL® and tetrabenazine intangible assets (combined $28.5 million) acquired in May and June 2009, respectively;

•

a $59.4 million increase in interest expense, reflecting $47.8 million related to the assumed Valeant debt and the issuance of 6.875% Senior Notes due December 1, 2018 (the "2018 Notes") by Valeant in November 2010, and $12.1 million related to the issuance of 5.375% Convertible Notes in June 2009;

•

the inclusion of a $52.6 million legal settlement charge in 2010, in connection with agreements or agreements in principle to settle certain Biovail legacy litigation matters;

•

the recognition of a $45.5 million valuation allowance against a portion of U.S. operating loss carryforwards as of the Merger Date (as described below under "Results of Operations — Income Taxes");

•

an increase of $42.9 million in non-restructuring-related share-based compensation, including $20.9 million recognized as of the Merger Date for the excess of the fair value of Biovail stock options and time-based RSUs over the fair value of converted Valeant awards, and approximately $17.0 million related to the amortization of the fair value increment on Valeant stock options and RSUs converted into Biovail awards;

•

a $32.4 million charge on the extinguishment of debt in 2010, mainly related to the repurchase of a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes and the cash settlement of the written call options on our common shares (as described below under "Results of Operations — Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Loss on Extinguishment of Debt");

•

a $29.9 million increase in acquired IPR&D, reflecting a $89.2 million charge in 2010 related to the istradefylline, Ampakine® and Staccato® loxapine acquisitions and the write-off of the BVF-018 acquired IPR&D asset, compared with a $59.4 million charge in 2009 related to the acquisitions of the U.S. and Canadian rights to develop and commercialize fipamezole, pimavanserin and GDNF and the write-off of the acquired IPR&D asset related to the development of an isomer of tetrabenazine (RUS-350); and

44

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

•

a decrease of $22.0 million related to a settlement in 2009 in respect of our investment in auction rate securities (as described below under "Results of Operations — Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net").

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

an increased contribution of $153.1 million, mainly related to the addition of Valeant product sales of $254.2 million (net of the incremental charge of $53.3 million to cost of goods sold from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value), increased Wellbutrin XL®, Xenazine® and generic Tiazac® product sales, and reduced costs and improved capacity utilization of our manufacturing operations. Those factors were partially offset by the reduction in Ultram® ER and Cardizem® LA product sales due to generic competition, and an increased supply price for Zovirax® inventory (as described below under "Results of Operations — Expenses — Cost of Goods Sold"); and

•

a $46.9 million reduction in the valuation allowance recorded against Canadian deferred tax assets in 2010 (as described below under "Results of Operations — Income Taxes").

Cash Dividends

        No dividends were declared or paid in 2011. While our board of directors will review our dividend policy from time to time, we currently do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the covenants contained in the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") include restrictions on the payment of dividends. Prior to the Merger, we declared cash dividends per share of $0.28 in 2010, compared with $0.645 in 2009. Following the Merger, we declared the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per share, which was paid on December 22, 2010 (as described above under "Biovail Merger with Valeant").

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Business Segments

        Effective with the Merger, we operate in the following business segments, based on differences in products and services and geographical areas of operations:

•

U.S. Neurology and Other consists of sales of pharmaceutical products indicated for the treatment of neurological and other diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products we developed or acquired. In addition, this segment includes revenue from contract research services provided by CRD prior to its disposal in July 2010.

•

U.S. Dermatology consists of pharmaceutical and OTC product sales, and alliance and contract service revenues in the areas of dermatology and topical medication.

•

Canada and Australia consists of pharmaceutical and OTC products sold in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

•

Branded Generics — Europe consists primarily of branded generic pharmaceutical products, as well as OTC products and agency/in-licensing arrangements with other research-based pharmaceutical companies (where we distribute and market branded, patented products under long-term, renewable contracts). Products are sold primarily in Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Croatia and Russia.

•

Branded Generics — Latin America consists of branded generic pharmaceutical and OTC products sold primarily in Mexico and Brazil and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets.

        As described in Item 1 titled "Business" of this Form 10-K, we are planning to change our segment structure effective in the first quarter of 2012.

        Total revenues increased $1,282.2 million, or 109%, to $2,463.5 million in 2011, compared with $1,181.2 million in 2010. A substantial portion of the increase in 2011 was due to an increase in incremental revenues from Valeant of $860.1 million, while the remaining increase was mainly attributable to the effect of the following factors:

•

in the U.S. Neurology and Other segment:

•

alliance revenue of $40.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 related to the milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt™; and

•

an increase in Xenazine® product sales of $33.4 million, or 47%, to $105.2 million in 2011, compared with $71.8 million in 2010, primarily reflecting year-over-year increases in patient enrollment, as well as a year-over-year average net price increase of approximately 19%.

Those factors were partially offset by:

•

decreases in Wellbutrin XL® U.S. product sales of $28.8 million, or 15%, to $159.2 million in 2011, compared with $188.0 million in 2010, mainly due to volume declines following the introduction of an additional generic competitor in the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by the impact of a year-over-year average net price increase of approximately 5%. We anticipate a continuing decline in U.S. Wellbutrin XL® product sales due to generic erosion, although we have implemented initiatives to support the brand. U.S. Wellbutrin XL® product sales, which represented approximately 6% of our

46

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

total revenue in 2011, are expected to represent a declining percentage of total revenues primarily due to anticipated growth in other parts of our business and recent acquisitions.

•

in the U.S. Dermatology segment:

•

an increase in Zovirax® product sales of $45.3 million, or 28%, to $207.1 million in 2011, compared with $161.8 million in 2010, reflecting the impact of the new 30g presentation which was launched in the first quarter of 2011 as well as a year-over-year average net price increase of approximately 3%;

•

the inclusion of Elidel® and Xerese® product sales from the acquisition date of $32.7 million in 2011;

•

alliance revenue of $36.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 related to the out-license of the Cloderm® product rights; and

•

the inclusion of Dermik and Ortho Dermatologics revenues from the acquisition date of $7.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively, in 2011.

•

in the Canada and Australia segment:

•

the inclusion of Afexa revenues from the acquisition date of $12.6 million in 2011.

•

in the Branded Generics — Europe segment:

•

the inclusion of PharmaSwiss revenues from the acquisition date of $199.9 million in 2011; and

•

the inclusion of Sanitas revenues from the Sanitas Acquisition Date of $49.6 million in 2011.

        Total revenues increased $360.8 million, or 44%, to $1,181.2 million in 2010, compared with $820.4 million in 2009. A substantial portion of the increase in 2010 was due to incremental revenues from Valeant products and services of $274.6 million, while the remaining year-over-year increase in 2010 was mainly attributable to the effect of the following factors:

•

in the U.S. Neurology and Other segment:

•

an increase in Xenazine® product sales of $27.2 million, or 61%, to $71.8 million in 2010, compared with $44.6 million in 2009, reflecting year-over-year increases in patient enrollment in the U.S., following the product's launch in December 2008;

•

an increase in Wellbutrin XL® product sales of $25.8 million, or 16%, to $188.0 million in 2010, compared with $162.2 million in 2009, reflecting incremental revenue of approximately $50.0 million in 2010, following the acquisition of the full U.S. commercialization rights in May 2009, and the positive effect of subsequent price increases, partially offset by the declines in prescription volumes due to generic competition; and

•

an increase in sales of generic Tiazac® of $20.6 million, or 118%, to $38.0 million in 2010, compared with $17.4 million in 2009, which was attributable to competitors' manufacturing issues.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

a decline in Ultram® ER product sales of $28.8 million, or 53%, to $25.2 million in 2010, compared with $54.0 million in 2009, reflecting the impact on volumes due to the introduction of generic competition to the 100mg and 200mg dosage strengths in November 2009 (which also had some negative impact on sales of the 300mg dosage strength). In addition, upon generic entry, our contractual supply price for branded 100mg and 200mg Ultram® ER products was reduced by 50%. As there was no generic equivalent to the 300mg Ultram® ER product in 2010, our supply price for that dosage strength remained unchanged in 2010. All of those factors were partially offset by revenue generated through our supply of 100mg and 200mg authorized generic versions of Ultram® ER; and

•

a decline in revenue from sales of Cardizem® LA of $18.1 million, or 43%, to $23.9 million in 2010, compared with $42.0 million in 2009, reflecting lower volumes as a result of the introduction of a generic version of Cardizem® LA (in all dosage strengths except 120mg) by a competitor in

47

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

March 2010. We are entitled to a royalty based on net sales of the competitor's generic version of Cardizem® LA.

•

in the U.S. Dermatology segment:

•

an increase in Zovirax® product sales of $15.5 million, or 11%, to $161.8 million in 2010, compared with $146.3 million in 2009, reflecting price increases implemented for this product during 2010, which more than offset lower prescription volumes, due in part to increasing competition from oral therapies.

•

in the Canada and Australia segment:

•

an increase in combined sales of Wellbutrin® XL, Tiazac® and Glumetza® products in Canada of $31.9 million, or 49%, to $96.9 million in 2010, compared with $65.0 million in 2009, reflecting increased prescription volumes for our promoted Wellbutrin® XL and Tiazac® XC brands, as well as increased demand for our branded Tiazac® product, which was attributable to competitors' manufacturing issues. In addition, sales of Glumetza® in the 2010 benefited from a delay in the introduction of a competing generic version of the 500mg dosage strength.

•

in the Branded Generics — Europe segment:

•

incremental tetrabenazine revenues of $13.8 million in 2010, following the acquisition of the worldwide commercialization and development rights to tetrabenazine in June 2009.

Segment Profit

        Segment profit is based on operating income after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs and legal settlement and acquired IPR&D charges, are not included in the measure of segment profit, as management excludes these items in assessing segment financial performance. In addition, share-based compensation is not allocated to segments, since the amount of such expense depends on company-wide performance rather than the operating performance of any single segment.

        The following table displays profit (loss) by segment for each of the last three years, the percentage of each segment's profit (loss) compared with corresponding segment revenues in the respective year, and the dollar and percentage change in the dollar amount of each segment's profit (loss). Percentages may not add due to rounding.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        Total segment profit increased $354.0 million, or 97%, to $720.7 million in 2011, compared with $366.7 million in 2010, mainly attributable to the net impact of the factors described in the footnotes under the Segment Profit table above as well as the following:

•

in the U.S. Neurology and Other segment:

•

alliance revenue of $40.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 related to the Trobalt™ milestone payment from GSK; and

•

increased contribution from Xenazine® product sales of $38.1 million, reflecting higher volumes and the positive effect of price increases and lower gross-to-net adjustments.

•

in the U.S. Dermatology segment:

•

an increased contribution from Zovirax® product sales of $94.0 million, reflecting the supply of the new 30g presentation of the ointment form of the product in the first quarter of 2011, and a lower supply price for inventory purchased from GSK, as a result of the new supply agreement that became effective with the acquisition of the U.S. rights, such that we retain a greater share of the economic interest in the brand; and

•

an increased contribution from Elidel®/Xerese® product sales of $33.0 million.

•

in the Canada and Australia segment:

•

the inclusion of Afexa segment profit from the acquisition date of $3.4 million in 2011, including the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory and identifiable intangible assets of $3.7 million; and

•

increased contribution from Cesamet® and Wellbutrin® XL product sales of $8.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively, in Canada due to volume increases for Cesamet® and higher sales of Wellbutrin® XL reflecting repositioning of product promotion.

•

in the Branded Generics — Europe segment:

•

the inclusion of PharmaSwiss segment loss from the acquisition date of $16.2 million in 2011, including the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory and identifiable intangible assets of $41.6 million, partially offset by the inclusion of Sanitas segment profit from the Sanitas Acquisition Date of $1.4 million in 2011, including the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory and identifiable intangible assets of $16.3 million.

        Total segment profit declined $39.9 million, or 10%, to $366.7 million in 2010, compared with $406.6 million in 2009, mainly attributable to the net effect of the following factors:

•

in the U.S. Neurology and Other segment:

•

reduced revenues and contribution from Ultram® ER and Cardizem® LA product sales due to generic competition; and

•

a lower contribution from our portfolio of bioequivalent products due to higher rebates in the amount of $19.1 million in 2010.

Those factors were partially offset by:

•

increased revenues and contribution from sales of Wellbutrin XL® (reflecting the incremental revenue following the acquisition of the full U.S. commercialization rights in May 2009) and Xenazine® (reflecting the increase in patient enrollment in the U.S.).

•

in the U.S. Dermatology segment:

•

a reduced contribution from Zovirax® product sales due to an increased supply price for inventory purchased from GSK, as a result of the conclusion of a price allowance that had entitled us to purchase a pre-determined quantity of Zovirax® inventory at reduced prices; however, following the closing of the acquisition of all U.S. rights to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® in 2011

49

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

(as described above under "Acquisitions — Zovirax®), we retain a greater share of the economic interest in this brand.

•

in the Canada and Australia segment:

•

increased revenues and contribution from Wellbutrin® XL and Tiazac® product sales in Canada reflecting increased prescription volumes for our promoted Wellbutrin® XL and Tiazac® XC brands, as well as increased demand for our branded Tiazac® product, which was attributable to competitors' manufacturing issues.

•

in the Branded Generics — Europe segment:

•

increased revenues and contribution from tetrabenazine product sales, following the acquisition of the worldwide commercialization and development rights to tetrabenazine in June 2009.

Operating Expenses

        The following table displays the dollar amount of each operating expense category for each of the last three years, the percentage of each category compared with total revenues in the respective year, and the dollar and percentage changes in the dollar amount of each category.

Cost of Goods Sold

        Cost of goods sold includes: manufacturing and packaging; the cost of products we purchase from third parties; royalty payments we make to third parties; depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment; and lower of cost or market adjustments to inventories. Cost of goods sold excludes the amortization of intangible assets described separately below under "— Amortization of Intangible Assets".

        Cost of goods sold increased $288.2 million, or 73%, to $683.8 million in 2011, compared with $395.6 million in 2010. The cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 33% in 2010 to 28% in 2011, primarily due to the effect of a lower supply price for Zovirax® inventory purchased from GSK, as a result of a new supply agreement that became effective with the acquisition of the U.S. commercialization rights, which favorably impacted cost of goods sold by $48.7 million in 2011.

50

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        Cost of goods sold increased $191.3 million, or 94%, to $395.6 million in 2010, compared with $204.3 million in 2009. The percentage increase in cost of goods sold was higher than the corresponding 44% increase in total product sales in 2010, primarily due to:

•

the addition of the cost of Valeant's product sales of $138.1 million, including the impact of the acquisition accounting adjustment of $53.3 million to Valeant inventory that was subsequently sold in the fourth quarter of 2010;

•

the increased supply price for Zovirax® inventory purchased from GSK, as a result of the conclusion of the price allowance in 2010;

•

the impact of higher rebates ($19.1 million) on our portfolio of bioequivalent product in 2010;

•

the increase in Xenazine® product sales, a lower-margin product;

•

the negative impact on Ultram® ER product sales of the reduction in our contractual supply price for the 100mg and 200mg dosage strengths; and

•

the negative impact on labor and overhead costs at our Canadian manufacturing facilities, as a result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

lower labor and overhead costs at our Puerto Rico manufacturing facilities and higher absorption at our Steinbach, Manitoba facility, each of which was a result of the transfer of manufacturing activities from the Puerto Rico facilities to the Steinbach facility;

•

an increased contribution from higher margin Wellbutrin XL® product sales following the acquisition of the full U.S. commercialization rights in May 2009;

•

a higher cost basis related to the $10.5 million of Wellbutrin XL® inventory reacquired from GSK in connection with the acquisition of the full U.S. commercialization rights, and sold to our wholesale customers in the second quarter of 2009; and

•

the positive impact of price increases implemented during 2010.

Cost of Alliance and Service Revenues

        Cost of alliance and services revenues reflects the costs associated with providing contract services to, and generating alliance revenue from, external customers.

        Cost of alliance and service revenues increased $32.9 million to $43.1 million in 2011, compared with $10.2 million in 2010, primarily due to the inclusion of the $30.7 million carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible asset, which was expensed on the out-license of the product rights in the first quarter of 2011.

        Cost of alliance and service revenues declined $3.7 million, or 27%, to $10.2 million in 2010, compared with $13.8 million in 2009, primarily due to:

•

a decline in activity levels at CRD prior to its disposal in July 2010, and lower labor costs as a result of headcount reductions at CRD in the second quarter of 2009.

        That factor was partially offset by:

•

the inclusion of the cost of Valeant's contract service operations of $2.9 million in the areas of dermatology and topical medication from the Merger Date.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses include: employee compensation costs associated with sales and marketing, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, and other administrative functions; outside legal fees and consultancy costs; product promotion expenses; overhead and occupancy costs; depreciation of corporate facilities and equipment; and other general and administrative costs.

51

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $295.9 million, or 107%, to $572.5 million in 2011, compared with $276.5 million in 2010, primarily due to:

•

the addition of Valeant's selling, general and administrative expenses, including incremental advertising costs of $64.4 million, partially offset by the realization of operating synergies and cost savings from the Merger;

•

the addition of selling, general and administrative expenses relating to PharmaSwiss ($60.8 million), Sanitas ($13.4 million), Elidel®/Xerese® ($2.5 million) and Afexa ($2.4 million); and

•

increases of $45.6 million in share-based compensation expense charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in 2011, including an increase of approximately $21.5 million related to the amortization of the fair value increment on Valeant stock options and RSUs converted into the Company awards and the equitable adjustment to certain vested stock option awards, in connection with the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share declared and paid in the fourth quarter of 2010.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $108.9 million, or 65%, to $276.5 million in 2010, compared with $167.6 million in 2009, primarily due to:

•

the addition of Valeant's selling, general and administrative expenses of $74.1 million;

•

the inclusion of $20.1 million of share-based compensation expense as of the Merger Date, related to vested and partially vested Valeant stock options and RSUs converted into Biovail awards, and the addition of approximately $17.0 million of incremental share-based compensation expense, related to the amortization of the fair value increment on Valeant stock options and RSUs converted into Biovail awards;

•

an increase in compensation expense related to deferred share units ("DSUs") granted to directors of $6.0 million, which reflected the impact of year-over-year increases in the underlying trading price of our common shares; and

•

the negative impact of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

a decrease of $17.7 million in indemnification obligations to, and costs incurred by, certain former officers and directors of Biovail, in connection with regulatory proceedings involving these individuals.

Research and Development Expenses

        Expenses related to research and development programs include: employee compensation costs; overhead and occupancy costs; depreciation of research and development facilities and equipment; clinical trial costs; clinical manufacturing and scale-up costs; and other third-party development costs.

        Research and development expenses declined $2.6 million, or 4%, to $65.7 million in 2011, compared with $68.3 million in 2010, which was attributable to the net effect of the termination of certain of our specialty CNS drug development programs in the fourth quarter of 2010 partially offset by the addition of a full year of Valeant's research and development expenses in 2011.

        Research and development expenses increased $20.7 million, or 44%, to $68.3 million in 2010, compared with $47.6 million in 2009, reflecting the addition of Valeant's operating costs of $13.0 million and higher direct project spending on our specialty CNS drug-development programs prior to the Merger. As described above under "Restructuring and Integration — Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives — Research and Development Pipeline Rationalization", we assessed our product development pipeline and decided not to continue a number of these specialty CNS programs. In addition, prior to the Merger, we cancelled the Phase 3 clinical trials that were underway in Europe for BVF-324 (the use of non-commercially available doses of tramadol for the treatment of premature ejaculation), due to slower-than-anticipated enrollment and a lack of commercial interest in the product, and recognized the contractual obligations related to the termination of these studies.

52

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Amortization of Intangible Assets

        Amortization expense increased $338.1 million, or 154%, to $557.8 million in 2011, compared with $219.8 million in 2010, primarily due to:

•

the amortization of the Valeant, PharmaSwiss, Elidel®/Xerese®, Zovirax®, and Sanitas identifiable intangible assets of $331.8 million in 2011; and

•

$7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of the carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less costs to sell.

        Amortization expense increased $115.0 million, or 110%, to $219.8 million in 2010, compared with $104.7 million in 2009, due to the inclusion of amortization of the Valeant identifiable intangible assets ($86.4 million), as well as the Wellbutrin XL® trademark intangible asset acquired in May 2009 and the product rights intangible assets arising from the tetrabenazine acquisition in June 2009.

Restructuring and Integration Costs

        As described above under "Restructuring and Integration — Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives and — Pre-Merger Cost-Rationalization Initiatives", we recognized primarily Merger-related restructuring charges and other integration costs of $97.7 million in 2011, compared with restructuring charges of $140.8 million and $30.0 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Acquired IPR&D

        Acquired IPR&D represents compounds, new indications, or line extensions under development that have not received regulatory approval for marketing at the time of acquisition. IPR&D acquired through an asset acquisition is written-off at the acquisition date if the assets have no alternative future use. IPR&D acquired in a business combination is capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets (irrespective of whether these assets have an alternative future use) until completion or abandonment of the related research and development activities. Costs associated with the development of acquired IPR&D assets are expensed as incurred.

        In 2011, we recorded charges of $109.2 million related to the impairment of acquired IPR&D assets relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 dermatology programs ($105.2 million). The impairment charges were triggered in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to unfavorable study results, feedback received from the FDA which would result in the incurrence of higher costs to perform additional studies, reassessment of risk and the probability of success, and/or pipeline prioritization decisions resulting in the re-allocation of our resources to other research and development ("R&D") programs. In addition in 2011, we recorded a charge of $4.0 million related to the acquisition of the Canadian rights to Lodalis™, which was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use.

        In 2010, we recorded a charge of $89.2 million related to the istradefylline, Ampakine® and Staccato® loxapine acquisitions ($61.2 million) and the write-off of the BVF-018 acquired IPR&D asset ($28.0 million). In 2009, we recorded a $59.4 million charge related to the acquisitions of the various rights to pimavanserin, fipamezole and GDNF, as well as the write-off of the $8.0 million acquired IPR&D asset related to RUS-350 upon termination of this project.

Acquisition-Related Costs

        Acquisition-related costs declined $5.3 million, or 14%, to $33.0 million in 2011, compared to $38.3 million in 2010, reflecting lower Merger-related expenses incurred in 2011, partially offset by acquisition-related expenses for PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, Afexa and iNova. In 2009, we incurred costs of $5.6 million in connection with the tetrabenazine acquisition.

53

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Legal Settlements

        In 2011, we recorded legal settlement charges of $11.8 million primarily due to the settlement of litigation and disputes related to revenue-sharing arrangements with, or other payment obligations to, third parties.

        In 2010 and 2009, we recorded legal settlement charges of $52.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively, in connection with agreements or agreements in principle to settle certain Biovail legacy litigation and regulatory matters.

        Interest expense increased $248.7 million, or 295%, to $333.0 million in 2011, compared with $84.3 million in 2010, reflecting $243.4 million related to the legacy Valeant debt assumed as of the Merger Date (partially reduced by the repayment of the Term Loan A Facility in the first quarter of 2011) and the post-Merger issuances of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011, $25.3 million related to the borrowings under our senior secured term loan facility in the third quarter of 2011 and the borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities in the fourth quarter of 2011, partially offset by a decrease of $19.2 million in interest expense related to the repurchases of 5.375% Convertible Notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)"). Interest expense in 2011 includes non-cash amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs of $25.6 million, in the aggregate.

        Interest expense increased $59.4 million, or 239%, to $84.3 million in 2010, compared with $24.9 million in 2009, reflecting $47.8 million related to the assumed Valeant debt and the 2018 Notes issued in November 2010, and $12.1 million related to the issuance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes in June 2009. Interest expense in 2010 includes non-cash amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs of $21.5 million, in the aggregate.

Write-Down of Deferred Financing Charges

        In 2011, we recorded $1.5 million of charges primarily due to a write-off of $1.0 million of deferred financing costs as a result of the amendment and restatement of the credit agreement on October 20, 2011. For more information regarding the credit agreement, see below "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)".

        In 2010, we recorded a write-off of $5.8 million of deferred financing costs as a result of the termination of the Biovail secured revolving credit facility as of the Merger Date.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

        In 2011, we recognized losses of $36.8 million, primarily related to the repurchase of a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes ($31.6 million) (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program and New Securities Repurchase Program") and the share settlement of the 4.0% Convertible Notes ($4.7 million) (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)").

        In 2010, we recognized losses of $32.4 million, primarily related to the repurchase of a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes ($20.7 million) (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program") and on the cash settlement of the written call options on our common shares ($10.1 million).

Foreign Exchange and Other

        Foreign exchange and other increased $26.0 million to $26.6 million in 2011, compared with $0.6 million in 2010, primarily due to the $16.4 million and $2.7 million net gain realized on foreign currency forward contracts entered in connection with the acquisitions of iNova and PharmaSwiss, respectively, in 2011.

Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net

        In March 2011, in connection with an offer to acquire Cephalon, we invested $60.0 million to acquire shares of common stock of Cephalon. On May 2, 2011, Cephalon announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. and, consequently, we disposed of our entire equity investment in Cephalon for net proceeds of $81.3 million, which resulted in a net realized gain of $21.3 million that was recognized in earnings in the second quarter of 2011.

        In August 2010, we disposed of our entire portfolio of auction rate securities for cash proceeds of $1.4 million and recorded a loss related to an other-than-temporary decline in the estimated fair value these securities of $5.6 million in 2010, compared with $5.2 million in 2009. In addition, in May 2009, we received $22.0 million to settle an arbitration with the investment bank that invested our assets in auction rate securities.

Income Taxes

        The following table displays the dollar amount of the current and deferred provisions for income taxes for each of the last three years, and the dollar and percentage changes in the dollar amount of each provision. Percentages may not sum due to rounding.

        In 2011, our effective tax rate was impacted by (i) the release of valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets in respect of our Canadian tax attributes recognized to the extent of deferred tax liabilities from acquisition; (ii) the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions; (iii) changes in enacted state tax law for the U.S.; (iv) non-deductible stock based compensation and realized foreign exchange gains where a full valuation allowance is recorded against tax loss carryforwards; (v) income earned in jurisdictions with a lower statutory rate than in Canada and (vi) losses in a jurisdiction with a higher statutory tax rate than in Canada.

55

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        In each of the fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009, we assessed the realizability of a portion of our deferred tax assets related to operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. Biovail's U.S. group had generated positive earnings in each fiscal year commencing with 2006, reflecting a reduction in the overall cost structure, including the elimination of Biovail's U.S. sales force, through restructuring measures implemented in 2006 and 2005. As a result, we reduced the valuation allowance recorded against available U.S. operating loss carryforwards by $26.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, with a corresponding increase to net income. In 2010, the Merger resulted in U.S. federal and state tax loss carryforwards becoming subject to the ownership change limitations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and similar state legislation. As a result, we increased the valuation allowance by $45.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, with a corresponding decrease to net income. In Canada, due to deferred tax liabilities arising from the Merger, we reduced valuation allowance by $46.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, with a corresponding increase to net income. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance that was necessary, we considered the amount of U.S. tax loss carryforwards, Canadian tax loss carryforwards, scientific research and experimental development pool, and investment tax credits that we would more likely than not be able to utilize based on future sources of income.

Fourth Quarter of 2011 Compared to Fourth Quarter of 2010

Results of Operations

        Total revenues increased $173.9 million, or 34%, to $688.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $514.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting the following factors:

•

the inclusion of revenues from PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Elidel®/Xerese®, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics and Afexa of $58.6 million, $32.6 million, $19.2 million, $7.6 million, $9.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively; and

•

growth of key dermatology brands (Zovirax®, Atralin® and Acanya®).

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

a negative foreign currency exchange impact of $14.6 million; and

•

a decline in Wellbrutrin XL® sales in the U.S. of $9.3 million.

56

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        Net income increased $87.0 million to $55.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with net loss of $31.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting the following factors:

•

an increased contribution from product sales of $194.1 million, mainly related to the addition of PharmaSwiss', Sanitas', Dermik's, Ortho Dermatologics' and Afexa's product sales (net of the impact of the acquisition accounting adjustment of $10.3 million to inventory that was subsequently sold in the fourth quarter of 2011);

•

an increase in the recovery of income taxes of $30.0 million, mainly attributable to significant expenses in the U.S., including but not limited to IPR&D charges, amortization, and interest expense. The U.S. has the highest statutory rate relative to all other tax jurisdictions in which we do business, resulting in an overall net tax recovery for the worldwide income tax provision;

•

a decrease of $28.9 million in loss on extinguishment of debt, related to the repurchase of a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes and the cash settlement of the written call options on our common shares in the fourth quarter of 2010;

•

a $20.0 million net gain from changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration primarily related to the probability assessment of potential future payments related to the PharmaSwiss, Aton and Elidel®/Xerese® acquisitions; and

•

a $16.4 million gain realized on a foreign currency forward contract entered into in connection with the iNova acquisition.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

an increase of $77.2 million in acquired IPR&D expenses mainly due to the write-off of the $105.2 million of acquired IPR&D assets relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 dermatology programs. The impairment charges were triggered in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to unfavorable study results, feedback received from the FDA which would result in the incurrence of higher costs to perform additional studies, reassessment of risk and the probability of success, and/or pipeline prioritization decisions resulting in the re-allocation of our resources to other R&D programs;

•

an increase in amortization expense of $75.1 million, primarily related to the identifiable intangible assets of Elidel®/Xerese® ($13.2 million), Sanitas ($7.7 million) Zovirax® ($6.8 million) and PharmaSwiss ($4.9 million) and $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of the carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less costs to sell; and

•

an increase of $40.4 million in interest expense, mainly related to the issuances of senior notes in the first quarter of 2011 and the borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, partially reduced by the repayment of the Term Loan A Facility in the first quarter of 2011 (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)").

Cash Flows From Operations

        Net cash provided by operating activities was $189.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting an increase of $191.2 million, primarily due to:

•

decrease in payments related to the Merger-related restructuring charges ($47.5 million) and legal settlement payments related to Biovail legacy litigation matters ($38.5 million); and

•

the impact of changes in working capital of $24.8 million related to timing of other receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business.

57

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        The remaining increase is primarily due to the inclusion of cash flows from the operations of PharmaSwiss, Elidel®/Xerese®, Sanitas, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics and Afexa in 2011, as well as growth from our existing portfolio.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents declined $230.2 million, or 58%, to $164.1 million as of December 31, 2011, compared with $394.3 million at December 31, 2010, which primarily reflected the following uses of cash:

•

•

$499.6 million related to the purchase of common shares from ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P. ("ValueAct"), $623.3 million in cash paid to repurchase a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, which included the payment of accreted interest of $9.8 million (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program and New Securities Repurchase Program"), $139.6 million related to the repurchase of our common shares and $66.9 million paid to settle written call options;

•

$975.0 million repayment of the Term Loan A Facility (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

•

$54.9 million, $34.2 million and $9.5 million paid on the redemption of a portion of the 6.875% senior notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes"), 6.50% senior notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes") and 7.00% senior notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes"), respectively;

•

$59.7 million of employee withholding taxes paid in connection with the exercise of share-based awards;

•

purchases of property, plant and equipment of $58.5 million;

•

payments of $40.7 million of debt issuance costs;

•

payments of $31.8 million primarily related to Elidel®/Xerese® contingent consideration;

•

payments of $28.5 million related to the acquisition of Sanitas's noncontrolling interest in 2011; and

•

payments of $24.0 million related to the acquisition of Afexa's noncontrolling interest in the fourth quarter of 2011.

58

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        Those factors were partially offset by the following sources of cash:

•

$2,139.7 million of net proceeds on the issuance of senior notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

•

$2,405.5 million of net borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

•

$676.5 million in operating cash flows primarily due to the acquisitions of PharmaSwiss, Elidel®/Xerese®, Sanitas, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics and Afexa in 2011, which includes interest paid on long-term debt of $247.9 million; and

•

$68.3 million in proceeds from stock option exercises, including tax benefits.

Long-Lived Assets

        Long-lived assets increased $2,014.9 million, or 21%, to $11,670.8 million as of December 31, 2011, compared with $9,655.9 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to:

•

the inclusion of the identifiable intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment of Sanitas, PharmaSwiss, iNova, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics and Afexa, which amounted to $535.2 million, $378.6 million, $651.0 million, $389.4 million, $337.3 million and $92.4 million in the aggregate, respectively;

•

$439.9 million related to the acquired Elidel® and Xerese® identifiable intangible assets;

•

the $300.0 million paid to acquire the U.S. and Canadian rights to Zovirax®; and

•

purchases of property, plant and equipment of $58.5 million.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

the depreciation of plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets of $612.6 million in the aggregate, including $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of the carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less costs to sell, as well as an impairment of intangible assets of $12.8 million related to certain OTC products sold in Brazil;

•

a foreign currency exchange impact of $323.8 million;

•

impairment charges of acquired IPR&D assets of $105.2 million relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 dermatology programs. The impairment charges were triggered in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to unfavorable study results, feedback received from the FDA which would result in the incurrence of higher costs to perform additional studies, reassessment of risk and the probability of success, and/or pipeline prioritization decisions resulting in the re-allocation of our resources to other R&D programs;

•

the carrying amount of $69.2 million, in the aggregate, related to the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets which were reclassified to assets held for sale as a result of the requirement by the FTC to divest these products in connection with the acquisition of Dermik; and

•

the $30.7 million carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets expensed in connection with the out-license of the product rights.

59

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Long-term Debt

        Long-term debt (including the current portion) increased $3,055.7 million, or 85%, to $6,651.0 million as of December 31, 2011, compared with $3,595.3 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to:

•

the issuance of $2,150.0 million principal amount of senior notes in the first quarter of 2011 (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)"); and

•

$2,405.5 million of net borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)").

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

the $975.0 million repayment of the Term Loan A;

•

$54.9 million, $34.2 million and $9.5 million paid on the redemption of a portion of the 2018 Notes, the 2016 Notes and the 2020 Notes, respectively;

•

the share settlement of the $221.3 million carrying amount of the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)"); and

•

the repurchase of $183.2 million carrying amount of the liability component of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, exclusive of related deferred financing costs (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program and New Securities Repurchase Program").

Shareholders' Equity

        Shareholders' equity declined $904.1 million, or 18%, to $4,007.0 million as of December 31, 2011, compared with $4,911.1 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to:

•

a charge for the excess of $666.0 million of the fair value of the common shares issued to effect the settlement of the 4.0% Convertible Notes over the estimated fair value of the liability component (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

•

a decrease of $499.6 million related to the repurchase of common shares from ValueAct, and a decrease of $139.6 million related to open-market repurchases of our common shares in 2011;

•

a charge for the excess of $414.1 million of the repurchase price of the 5.375% Convertible Notes over the estimated fair value of the liability component (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program and New Securities Repurchase Program"); and

•

a negative foreign currency translation adjustment of $304.4 million to other comprehensive income, mainly due to the impact of a strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to a number of other currencies, including the Polish zloty, Mexican peso, euro, Brazilian real and Canadian dollar, which decreased the reported value of our net assets denominated in those currencies.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

the $892.0 million fair value of the common shares issued upon settlement of the 4.0% Convertible Notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)"); and

•

net income of $159.6 million, including $94.0 million of share-based compensation recorded in additional paid-in capital.

Operating Activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities increased $413.3 million, or 157%, to $676.5 million in 2011, compared with $263.2 million in 2010, primarily due to:

•

an increase in cash flows from the operations of Valeant due to the full year impact in 2011;

•

the inclusion of cash flows from the operations of PharmaSwiss, Elidel®/Xerese®, Sanitas, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics and Afexa in 2011;

•

the receipt of the $40.0 million milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt™;

•

the receipt of the $36.0 million upfront payment related to the out-licensee of the Cloderm® product rights;

•

the increased contribution from Xenazine® and Zovirax® product sales of $38.1 million and $94.0 million, respectively, in 2011 as described above under "Results of Operations — Segment Profit"; and

•

a decrease in legal settlement payments of $17.9 million.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

•

a decrease of $210.2 million related to higher interest paid on long-term debt, mainly due to the issuance of the senior notes in the first quarter of 2011; and

•

a decrease of $189.8 million related to changes in accounts receivable reflecting higher sales in the fourth quarter of 2011, the receivable from ValueAct related to withholding taxes on the March 2011 share repurchase, additions of Dermik and Ortho Dermatologics accounts receivable and timing of receipts in the normal course of business.

        Net cash provided by operating activities declined $97.7 million, or 27%, to $263.2 million in 2010, compared with $360.9 million in 2009, primarily due to:

•

payments related to the Merger-related restructuring charges ($56.4 million) and legal settlement payments related to Biovail legacy litigation matters ($44.5 million);

61

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

•

a decrease related to the receipt of $22.0 million in connection with the auction rate security settlement in 2009 that did not similarly occur in 2010; and

an increase of $30.8 million related to the payments made in 2009 to settle certain Biovail legacy governmental and regulatory matters that did not similarly occur in 2010.

Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities was $2,844.5 million in 2011, compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $228.9 million in 2010, reflecting an increase of $3,073.5 million, primarily due to:

•

the non-recurrence of net cash acquired in the acquisition of Valeant in the prior year of $309.0 million; and

•

an increase of $41.7 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

NM — Not meaningful

        On September 27, 2010, Valeant and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Old Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lending institutions, consisting of (1) a four-and-one half-year non-amortizing $125.0 million revolving credit facility, (2) a five-year amortizing $1.0 billion Term Loan A Facility, and (3) a six-year amortizing $1.625 billion term loan B facility (the "Term Loan B Facility"). Effective November 29, 2010, the Term Loan B Facility was repaid in full. Effective March 8, 2011, Valeant terminated the Old Credit Agreement, using a portion of the net proceeds from the combined offering of the 2016 Notes and 7.25% senior notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") (as described below) to prepay the amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility.

        On February 8, 2011, Valeant issued $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due 2021 at par (the "2021 Notes"). Interest on the 2021 Notes accrues at the rate of 6.75% per year. The net proceeds of the 2021 Notes offering were principally used to finance the PharmaSwiss and Zovirax® acquisitions.

        On March 8, 2011, Valeant issued $950.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2016 Notes and $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2022 Notes. The 2016 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 6.50% per year, and the 2022 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 7.25% per year. The 2016 Notes were issued at par and the 2022 Notes were issued at 98.125% of par for an effective annual yield of 7.50%. Net proceeds of the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes offering were principally used to prepay the amounts outstanding under Valeant's

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Term Loan A Facility, as described above, and to fund the repurchase of our common shares from ValueAct in March 2011 (as described below under "— Securities Repurchase Program").

        The senior notes issued by Valeant are senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of its subsidiaries (other than Valeant) that is a guarantor under its other senior notes. Certain of the future subsidiaries of Valeant and the Company may be required to guarantee the senior notes. The non-guarantor subsidiaries had total assets of $3,056.3 million and total liabilities of $853.1 million as of December 31, 2011, and net revenues of $617.7 million and net loss from operations of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        On April 20, 2011, we distributed a notice of redemption to holders of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, pursuant to which all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes on May 20, 2011 would be redeemed. Prior to that date, at the election of the holders, all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share. The carrying amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes prior to settlement was $221.3 million and the aggregate fair value of the common shares issued to effect the settlement was $892.0 million. The difference of $670.7 million between the carrying amount and the fair value of the common shares issued upon settlement was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt ($4.7 million) and a charge to shareholders' equity ($666.0 million).

        With respect to Valeant's call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, these agreements consisted of purchased call options on 15,813,338 common shares, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of shares, which matured on August 18, 2011. Following the Merger Date, these call options were to be settled in common shares of the Company. In June 2011, we received 11,479,365 common shares of the Company on the net-share settlement of the purchased call options, which common shares were subsequently cancelled. In September 2011, Valeant amended the written call option agreements, so that Valeant could elect to settle all or some of the written call options in cash. In the third quarter of 2011, Valeant paid $66.9 million in cash and issued 7,518,595 of its common shares on a net-share basis to settle the written call options. Subsequent to September 30, 2011, 961,461 common shares were issued on a net-share basis to complete the settlement of the written call options.

        On August 10, 2011, Valeant entered into the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Company and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors. The Agreement amended and restated the terms of a credit agreement entered into on June 29, 2011, which provided for a one-and-one-half-year non-amortizing $200.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility remained in effect under the Agreement, which additionally provided for a three-month non-amortizing $650.0 million term loan facility (the "Bridge Facility"). The Agreement contained an uncommitted incremental term loan facility, pursuant to which one or more existing lenders or other lenders, at their sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, might provide up to an additional $500.0 million in term loans under the Bridge Facility upon Valeant's request. The Bridge Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility were scheduled to mature on December 15, 2011 and December 29, 2012, respectively. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the credit facilities on October 20, 2011 (as described below), Valeant repaid the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and Bridge Facility.

        In connection with the acquisition of Sanitas, we assumed Sanitas's outstanding long-term debt, including current portion, of approximately $67.1 million at the Sanitas Acquisition Date. Sanitas had a Facility Agreement (the "Sanitas Agreement") and Revolving Credit Line Agreement (together, the "Sanitas Credit Facilities") with two financial institutions. The Sanitas Agreement provided for a 310.0 million Polish zloty term loan facility, maturing in May 2014. The Revolving Credit Line Agreement provided 20.0 million Polish zloty, maturing in May 2012. Effective December 1, 2011, we terminated the Sanitas Agreement and repaid the amounts outstanding under the Sanitas Credit Facilities.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        On October 20, 2011, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the terms of the Agreement entered into on August 10, 2011. The Credit Agreement provides for a $275 million revolving credit facility, including a sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and a sublimit for swing line loans (the "New Revolving Credit Facility"), and a $1.725 billion senior secured term loan A facility (the "New Term Loan A Facility"), which includes a $500 million delayed draw term loan facility (the "Delayed Draw Facility"). The Credit Agreement also contains an uncommitted incremental facility, pursuant to which one or more existing lenders or other lenders, at their sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, may provide up to an additional $500.0 million in term loans or revolving loans. The New Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and does not amortize. The New Term Loan A Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and amortizes quarterly commencing March 31, 2012 at an initial annual rate of 5.0%. The amortization schedule under the New Term Loan A Facility will increase to 10.0% annually commencing March 31, 2013 and 20% annually commencing March 31, 2014, payable in quarterly installments.

        On December 19, 2011, under the New Term Loan A Facility, we syndicated $500.0 million of incremental term loans (the "Incremental Term Loans" and, together with the New Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term Loan A Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") in connection with our acquisition of iNova. The Incremental Term Loans will mature in April 2016 and have terms that are consistent with our New Term Loan A Facility. As of December 31, 2011, $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount in revolving loans was outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility and $2,185.5 million in term loans was outstanding under the New Term Loan A Facility.

        On February 13, 2012, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of financial institutions and investors. Under the New Credit Agreement, in addition to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we syndicated a $600.0 million senior secured tranche B term loan facility (the "Tranche B Term Loans" and, together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the "New Senior Secured Credit Facilities") to fund the repayment of outstanding amounts under our Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Tranche B Term Loans mature on February 13, 2019 and amortizes quarterly commencing June 30, 2012 at an annual rate of 1.0%.

        Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations and issuances of long-term debt securities. We believe that existing cash and cash generated from operations and funds available under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs. We have no material commitments for expenditures related to property, plant and equipment. Since part of our business strategy is to expand through strategic acquisitions, we may be required to seek additional debt financing, issue additional equity securities or sell assets, as necessary, to finance future acquisitions or for other general corporate purposes. In January 2012, Moody's Investor Services ("Moody's") downgraded our senior secured debt rating from Baa3 to Ba1. At the same time, Moody's reaffirmed our Corporate Family rating (Ba3) and our senior unsecured debt rating (B1). Increased debt levels could result in further ratings pressure. A further downgrade may increase our cost of borrowing and may negatively impact our ability to raise additional debt capital.

        As of December 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of our covenants related to our outstanding debt. Our short-term debt maturities consist of $111.2 million outstanding principal amount under the New Term A Facility, due in quarterly installments of $27.8 million. We believe our existing cash and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to cover these short-term debt maturities as they become due.

Securities Repurchase Program

        On November 4, 2010, we announced that the board of directors had approved a securities repurchase program, pursuant to which we were able to make purchases of our common shares, convertible notes and/or senior notes, from time to time, up to an aggregate maximum value of $1.5 billion, subject to any restrictions in the Company's financing agreements and applicable law. On August 29, 2011, we announced that the board of

66

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

directors had approved an increase of $300.0 million under our securities repurchase program (the "Securities Repurchase Program"). As a result, under the Securities Repurchase Program, we were able to repurchase up to $1.8 billion of our convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other notes or shares that were issued prior to the completion of the program.

        On November 4, 2010, our board of directors also approved a sub-limit of up to 16.0 million common shares to be purchased for cancellation under a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the NYSE and TSX, subject to obtaining the appropriate approvals. Initially, purchases under our Securities Repurchase Program of up to 15.0 million common shares could be made through the facilities of the NYSE, in accordance with applicable rules and guidelines, representing approximately 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of November 4, 2010. In August 2011, we filed, and the TSX approved, a Notice of Intention to make a normal course issuer bid to repurchase up to the remaining 1,000,000 common shares through the facilities of the TSX. Shareholders of the Company may obtain a copy of the Company's Notice of Intention with respect to its normal course issuer bid, at no charge, by contacting the Company. The Securities Repurchase Program terminated on November 7, 2011.

        In 2011, under our Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased $203.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $619.4 million.

        In March 2011, we repurchased 7,366,419 of our common shares from ValueAct for an aggregate purchase price of $274.8 million. These common shares were subsequently cancelled. As of December 31, 2011, we had recorded an estimated $24.2 million receivable from ValueAct in relation to withholding taxes on the March 2011 repurchase. We expect that this payment will be received in the first half of 2012. In May 2011, a subsidiary of the Company purchased 4,498,180 of our common shares from ValueAct for an aggregate purchase price of $224.8 million. In June 2011, the Company purchased these common shares from its subsidiary and the common shares were subsequently cancelled. G. Mason Morfit is a partner and a member of the Management Committee of ValueAct Capital. Mr. Morfit joined the Company's board of directors on September 28, 2010, effective with the Merger, and prior thereto served as a member of Valeant's board of directors since 2007. ValueAct Capital is the general partner and the manager of ValueAct. In addition, in 2011, under the Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased 1,800,000 of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $74.5 million. These common shares were subsequently cancelled. As a result, in 2011, under the Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased, in the aggregate, 13,664,599 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $574.1 million.

        In 2011, under the Securities Repurchase Program, we have also redeemed $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $9.9 million.

        In 2010, under the Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased $126.3 million principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for consideration of $259.2 million and 2,305,000 million of our common shares for consideration of $60.1 million.

        In connection with the Securities Repurchase Program through the termination date of November 7, 2011, we had repurchased approximately $1.5 billion, in the aggregate, of our convertible notes, senior notes and common shares.

New Securities Repurchase Program

        On November 3, 2011, we announced that our board of directors had approved a new securities repurchase program (the "New Securities Repurchase Program"). Under the New Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 8, 2011, we may make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of our convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares. The New Securities Repurchase Program will terminate on November 7, 2012 or at such time as we complete our purchases. The amount of securities to be purchased and the timing of purchases under the New Securities Repurchase Program may be subject to various factors, which may include the price of the securities, general market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternate investment opportunities and restrictions under our financing agreements. The securities to be repurchased will be funded using our cash resources.

67

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        The board of directors also approved a sub-limit under the New Securities Repurchase Program for the repurchase of an amount of common shares equal to the greater of 10% of our public float or 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares, in each case calculated as of the date of the commencement of the New Securities Repurchase Program. We are permitted to make purchases of up to 15,395,686 common shares on the open market through the facilities of the NYSE, representing approximately 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares on the date of the commencement of the New Securities Repurchase Program. Subject to completion of appropriate filings with and approval by the TSX, we may also make purchases of our common shares over the facilities of the TSX. Purchases of common shares will be made at prevailing market prices of such shares on the NYSE or the TSX, as the case may be, at the time of the acquisition and shall be made in accordance with the respective rules and guidelines of the NYSE and the TSX. All common shares purchased under the New Securities Repurchase Program will be cancelled.

        In 2011, under the New Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $3.9 million.

        In 2011, under the New Securities Repurchase Program, we also repurchased 1,534,857 of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $65.1 million and we redeemed $89.9 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes for an aggregate purchase price of $88.7 million.

        In addition, under the New Securities Repurchase Program, through February 23, 2012, we have repurchased an additional $161.7 million, in the aggregate, of our convertible notes, senior notes and common shares.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

        We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations, financial condition, capital expenditures, liquidity, or capital resources.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration of up to $13.0 million (€10.0 million) and $59.9 million related to the acquisitions of PharmaSwiss and iNova, described above under "Acquisitions and Dispositions".

        Also excluded from the above table is a liability for uncertain tax positions totaling $91.7 million. This liability has been excluded because we cannot currently make a reliable estimate of the period in which the liability will be payable, if ever.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

        Our common shares are listed on the TSX and the NYSE under the ticker symbol "VRX".

        At February 23, 2012, we had 306,583,018 issued and outstanding common shares and 1,842,257 common shares issuable in connection with the Merger. In addition, we had 10,545,227 stock options and 1,742,830 time-based RSUs that each represent the right of a holder to receive one of the Company's common shares, and 2,094,544 performance-based RSUs that represent the right of a holder to receive up to 400% of the RSUs granted. A maximum of 4,391,640 common shares could be issued upon vesting of the performance-based RSUs outstanding.

        Assuming full share settlement, 1,226,271 common shares are issuable upon the conversion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes (based on a current conversion rate of 69.6943 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment).

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Our business and financial results are affected by fluctuations in world financial markets, including the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate movements. We evaluate our exposure to such risks on an ongoing basis, and seek ways to manage these risks to an acceptable level, based on management's judgment of the appropriate trade-off between risk, opportunity and cost. We use derivative financial instruments from time to time as a risk management tool and not for trading or speculative purposes. Currently, we do not hold any significant amount of market risk sensitive instruments whose value is subject to market price risk.

Inflation; Seasonality

        Historically, our results of operations have not been materially impacted by inflation or seasonality. However, following the Merger, we are subject to price control restriction on our pharmaceutical products in the majority of countries in which we now operate. As a result, our ability to raise prices in a timely fashion in anticipation of inflation may be limited in some markets.

Foreign Currency Risk

        Historically, a majority of our revenue and expense activities and capital expenditures were denominated in U.S. dollars. We faced foreign currency exposure on the translation of our operations in Canada from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars. Effective with the Merger, we have additional foreign currency exposure related to the Polish zloty (and other Eastern European currencies), the Mexican peso, the Brazilian real and the Australian dollar. These operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and

69

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

currency exchange controls and fluctuations in the relative values of currencies. In addition, to the extent that we require, as a source of debt repayment, earnings and cash flows from some of our operations located in foreign countries, we are subject to risk of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, relative to all other currencies in which we operate, which may materially affect our results of operations. Where possible, we manage foreign currency risk by managing same currency revenues in relation to same currency expenses. As of December 31, 2011, a 1% change in foreign currency exchange rates would have impacted our shareholders' equity by approximately $35 million.

        In 2011 and 2010, the repurchase of $205.0 million and $126.3 million principal amount of the U.S. dollar-denominated 5.375% Convertible Notes, respectively, resulted in a foreign exchange gain for Canadian income tax purposes of approximately $24.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively. The payment of the remaining balance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes will likely result in a foreign exchange gain or loss for Canadian income tax purposes. The amount of this gain or loss will depend on the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar at the time the 5.375% Convertible Notes are paid. As of December 31, 2011, the unrealized foreign exchange gain on the translation of the remaining principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes to Canadian dollars for Canadian income tax purposes was approximately $1.6 million. In 2011, the repurchase of $30.0 million principal amount of the U.S. dollar denominated New Revolving Credit Facility resulted in a foreign exchange gain of $0.1 million. The payment of the remaining balance of the New Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term Loan A Facility will likely result in a foreign exchange gain or loss for Canadian income tax purposes. The amount of this gain or loss will depend on the exchange rates between the U.S. and Canadian dollar at the time the New Revolving Credit Facility is paid. As of December 31, 2011, the unrealized foreign exchange gain on the translation of the remaining principal amount of the New Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term Loan A Facility was approximately $1.9 million and $17.2 million, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2011, the unrealized foreign exchange gain on certain intercompany balances was equal to $286.0 million. One-half of any realized foreign exchange gain or loss is included in our Canadian taxable income, which results in a corresponding reduction in our available Canadian operating losses and tax credit carryforward balances. However, the payment of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, the New Revolving Credit Facility, New Term Loan A Facility and the intercompany loans does not result in a foreign exchange gain or loss being recognized in our consolidated financial statements, as these statements are prepared in U.S. dollars.

Interest Rate Risk

        We currently do not hold financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our financial assets are not subject to significant interest rate risk due to their short duration. The primary objective of our policy for the investment of temporary cash surpluses is the protection of principal, and accordingly, we generally invest in high quality, liquid money market investments with varying maturities, but typically less than three months. As it is our intent and policy to hold these investments until maturity, we do not have a material exposure to interest rate risk.

        As of December 31, 2011, we had $4,268.8 million and $2,445.0 million principal amount of issued fixed rate debt and variable rate debt, respectively, that require U.S. dollar repayment. The estimated fair value of our issued fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2011 was $4,287.6 million. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by 100 basis-points the fair value of our long-term debt would increase or decrease by approximately $231.3 million. We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt as changes in interest rates could adversely affect earnings and cash flows. A 100 basis-points change in interest rates would have an annualized pre-tax effect of approximately $24.4 million in our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, based on current outstanding borrowings and effective interest rates on our variable rate debt. While our variable-rate debt may impact earnings and cash flows as interest rates change, it is not subject to changes in fair value.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        Critical accounting policies and estimates are those policies and estimates that are most important and material to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and which require management's most

70

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

subjective and complex judgments due to the need to select policies from among alternatives available, and to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in our business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors we use to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially impacted.

Revenue Recognition

        We recognize product sales revenue when title has transferred to the customer and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue from product sales is recognized net of provisions for estimated cash discounts, allowances, returns, rebates, and chargebacks, as well as distribution fees paid to certain of our wholesale customers. We establish these provisions concurrently with the recognition of product sales revenue.

        Under certain product manufacturing and supply agreements, we rely on estimates for future returns, rebates and chargebacks made by our commercialization counterparties. We make adjustments as needed to state these estimates on a basis consistent with our revenue recognition policy and our methodology for estimating returns, rebates, and chargebacks related to our own direct product sales.

        We continually monitor our product sales provisions and evaluate the estimates used as additional information becomes available. We make adjustments to these provisions periodically to reflect new facts and circumstances that may indicate that historical experience may not be indicative of current and/or future results. We are required to make subjective judgments based primarily on our evaluation of current market conditions and trade inventory levels related to our products. This evaluation may result in an increase or decrease in the experience rate that is applied to current and future sales, or an adjustment related to past sales, or both.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        The year-over-year increase in our provision for returns in 2011 was impacted by the revenue growth in our European businesses, which generally do not carry a right of return.

Use of Information from External Sources

        In the U.S., we use information from external sources to estimate our product sales provisions. We have data sharing agreements with the three largest wholesalers in the U.S. Where we do not have data sharing agreements, we use third-party data to estimate the level of product inventories and product demand at wholesalers and retail pharmacies. Third-party data with respect to prescription demand and inventory levels are subject to the inherent limitations of estimates that rely on information from external sources, as this information may itself rely on certain estimates and reflect other limitations.

        Our inventory levels in the wholesale distribution channel do not vary substantially, as our distribution agreements with the three largest wholesalers in the U.S. limit the aggregate amount of inventory they can own to between ¹/2 and 1¹/2 months of supply of our products. The inventory data from these wholesalers is provided to us in the aggregate rather than by specific lot number, which is the level of detail that would be required to determine the original sale date and remaining shelf life of the inventory.

        Some European countries base their rebates on the government's unbudgeted pharmaceutical spending and we use an estimated allocation factor against our actual invoiced sales to project the expected level of reimbursement. We obtain third-party information that helps us to monitor the adequacy of these accruals. If our estimates are not indicative of actual unbudgeted spending, our results could be materially affected.

Cash Discounts and Allowances

        We offer cash discounts for prompt payment and allowances for volume purchases to customers. Provisions for cash discounts are estimated at the time of sale and recorded as direct reductions to accounts receivable and revenue. Provisions for allowances are recorded in accrued liabilities. We estimate provisions for cash discounts and allowances based on contractual sales terms with customers, an analysis of unpaid invoices, and historical payment experience. Estimated cash discounts and allowances have historically been predictable and less subjective, due to the limited number of assumptions involved, the consistency of historical experience, and the fact that we generally settle these amounts within one month of incurring the liability.

Returns

        Consistent with industry practice, we generally allow customers to return product within a specified period before and after its expiration date, excluding our European businesses which generally do not carry a right of return. Our product returns provision is estimated based on historical sales and return rates over the period during which customers have a right of return. We utilize the following information to estimate our provision for returns:

•

historical return and exchange levels;

•

external data with respect to inventory levels in the wholesale distribution channel;

•

external data with respect to prescription demand for our products;

•

remaining shelf lives of our products at the date of sale; and

•

estimated returns liability to be processed by year of sale based on an analysis of lot information related to actual historical returns.

        In determining our estimates for returns, we are required to make certain assumptions regarding the timing of the introduction of new products and the potential of these products to capture market share. In addition, we make certain assumptions with respect to the extent and pattern of decline associated with generic competition. To make these assessments, we utilize market data for similar products as analogs for our estimates. We use our

72

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

best judgment to formulate these assumptions based on past experience and information available to us at the time. We continually reassess and make the appropriate changes to our estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available to us. A change of 1% in the estimated return rates would have impacted our pre-tax earnings by approximately $17 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Our estimate for returns may be impacted by a number of factors, but the principal factor relates to the level of inventory in the distribution channel. When we are aware of an increase in the level of inventory of our products in the distribution channel, we consider the reasons for the increase to determine if the increase may be temporary or other-than-temporary. Increases in inventory levels assessed as temporary will not result in an adjustment to our provision for returns. Other-than-temporary increases in inventory levels, however, may be an indication that future product returns could be higher than originally anticipated, and, as a result, we may need to adjust our estimate for returns. Some of the factors that may suggest that an increase in inventory levels will be temporary include:

•

recently implemented or announced price increases for our products;

•

new product launches or expanded indications for our existing products; and

•

timing of purchases by our wholesale customers.

        Conversely, factors that may suggest that an increase in inventory levels will be other-than-temporary include:

•

declining sales trends based on prescription demand;

•

introduction of new products or generic competition;

•

increasing price competition from generic competitors; and

•

recent changes to the U.S. National Drug Codes ("NDC") of our products, which could result in a period of higher returns related to products with the old NDC, as our U.S. customers generally permit only one NDC per product for identification and tracking within their inventory systems.

        Our adjustments to actual in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were not material to our revenues or earnings.

Rebates and Chargebacks

        We are subject to rebates on sales made under governmental and managed-care pricing programs in the U.S. The largest of these rebates is associated with sales covered by Medicaid. We participate in state government-managed Medicaid programs, as well as certain other qualifying federal and state government programs whereby discounts and rebates are provided to participating government entities. Medicaid rebates can be billed as much as 270 days after the quarter in which the product is dispensed to the Medicaid participant. As a result, our Medicaid rebate provision includes an estimate of outstanding claims for end-customer sales that occurred but for which the related claim has not been billed, and an estimate for future claims that will be made when inventory in the distribution channel is sold through to plan participants. Our calculation also requires other estimates, such as estimates of sales mix, to determine which sales are subject to rebates and the amount of such rebates. A change of 1% in the volume of product sold through to plan participants would have impacted our pre-tax earnings by approximately $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Periodically, we adjust the Medicaid rebate provision based on actual claims paid. Due to the delay in billing, adjustments to actual claims paid may incorporate revisions of that provision for several periods.

        Managed Care rebates relate to our contractual agreements to sell products to managed care organizations and pharmacy benefit managers at contractual rebate percentages in exchange for volume and/or market share.

        Chargebacks relate to our contractual agreements to sell products to group purchasing organizations and other indirect customers at contractual prices that are lower than the list prices we charge wholesalers. When these group purchasing organizations or other indirect customers purchase our products through wholesalers at

73

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

these reduced prices, the wholesaler charges us for the difference between the prices they paid us and the prices at which they sold the products to the indirect customers.

        In estimating our provisions for rebates and chargebacks, we consider relevant statutes with respect to governmental pricing programs and contractual sales terms with managed-care providers and group purchasing organizations. We estimate the amount of our product sales subject to these programs based on historical utilization levels. Changes in the level of utilization of our products through private or public benefit plans and group purchasing organizations will affect the amount of rebates and chargebacks that we are obligated to pay. We continually update these factors based on new contractual or statutory requirements, and any significant changes in sales trends that may impact the percentage of our products subject to rebates or chargebacks.

        The amount of rebates and chargebacks has become more significant as a result of a combination of deeper discounts due to the price increases we implemented in each of the last three years, changes in our product portfolio due to recent acquisitions and increased Medicaid utilization due to existing economic conditions in the U.S. Our estimate for rebates and chargebacks may be impacted by a number of factors, but the principal factor relates to the level of inventory in the distribution channel.

        We do not process or track actual rebate payments or credits by period in which the original sale was made, as the necessary lot information is not required to be provided to us by the private or public benefit providers. Accordingly, we generally assume that adjustments made to rebate provisions relate to sales made in the prior years due to the delay in billing. However, we assume that adjustments made to chargebacks are generally related to sales made in the current year, as we settle these amounts within a few months of original sale. Our adjustments to actual in 2011 and 2010 were not material to our revenues or earnings. We recorded an adjustment of $6.9 million in 2009 to increase the provision for rebates as a result of higher than anticipated Medicaid utilization, due to the economic condition in the U.S. and the related increase in the number of patients in these governmental programs.

Acquisitions

        We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value, with limited exceptions. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Amounts allocated to acquired IPR&D are recognized at fair value and initially characterized as indefinite-lived intangible assets, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use. If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date.

        The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of asset acquired and liability assumed can materially impact our results of operations. As part of our valuation procedures, we typically consult an independent advisor. There are several methods that can be used to determine fair value. For intangible assets, we typically use an income approach. This approach starts with a forecast of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. These cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the income approach include:

•

the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, adjusted for the probability of technical and marketing success;

•

the amount and timing of projected costs to develop IPR&D into commercially viable products;

•

the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and

•

an assessment of the asset's life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including consideration of any technical, legal, regulatory, or economic barriers to entry.

74

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

        We believe the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions, however, these assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur.

        Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment, as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives. Useful life is the period over which the intangible asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows. We determine the useful lives of intangible assets based on a number of factors, such as legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, and the effects of obsolescence, anticipated demand, existence or absence of competition, and other economic factors on useful life.

        Some of the acquisitions that we have consummated involve contingent consideration to be potentially paid based upon the occurrence of future events. Acquisition-related contingent consideration is initially recognized at fair value and then remeasured each reporting period. The estimates of fair value contain uncertainties as they involve assumptions about the likelihood of achieving specified milestone criteria, projections of future financial performance, and assumed discount rates. A change in any of these assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Intangible Assets

        We evaluate potential impairments of amortizable intangible assets acquired through asset acquisitions or business combinations if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. Our evaluation is based on an assessment of potential indicators of impairment, such as:

•

an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset. For example, a successful challenge of our patent rights resulting in earlier than expected generic competition;

•

an adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used or is expected to be used. For example, a decision not to pursue a product line-extension strategy to enhance an existing product due to changes in market conditions and/or technological advances; or

•

current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of an asset. For example, the introduction of a competing product that results in a significant loss of market share.

        Impairment exists when the carrying amount of an amortizable intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. A discounted cash flow analysis is typically used to determine fair value using estimates and assumptions that market participants would apply. Some of the estimates and assumptions inherent in a discounted cash flow model include the amount and timing of the projected future cash flows, and the discount rate used to reflect the risks inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. In addition, an intangible asset's expected useful life can increase estimation risk, as longer-lived assets necessarily require longer-term cash flow forecasts, which for some of our intangible assets can be up to 25 years. In connection with an impairment evaluation, we also reassess the remaining useful life of the intangible asset and modify it, as appropriate.

        Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including IPR&D, are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment losses on indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized based solely on a comparison of their fair value to carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability test. In particular, we will continue to monitor closely the progression of our R&D programs, as their likelihood of success is contingent upon the achievement of future development milestones, some of which are currently expected to occur as early as 2012. Such programs include, among others, our modified-release Retigabine product, IDP-107, IDP-108 and our Xerese® lifecycle product. Refer to "Products in Development" above for additional information regarding our R&D programs.

75

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Goodwill

        Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment. The fair value of a reporting unit refers to the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants. Prior to the Merger, we had one operating segment and one reporting unit. Accordingly, in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, goodwill existing prior to the Merger was tested for impairment by comparing our pre-Merger market capitalization, based on the quoted market price of our underlying common shares, to the carrying value of our consolidated net assets. On that basis, there was no indication of goodwill impairment.

        Effective with the Merger, we operate in five business segments: U.S. Neurology and Other; U.S. Dermatology; Canada and Australia; Branded Generics — Europe; and Branded Generics — Latin America. Each of the U.S. Neurology and Other, U.S. Dermatology and Branded Generics — Europe segments consist of one reporting unit. The Canada and Australia segment consists of two geographical reporting units. Similarly, the Branded Generics — Latin America segment consists of two reporting units based on geography, namely Mexico and Brazil. We conducted our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2011 for each of the seven reporting units. We estimated the fair values of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis approach. These calculations contain uncertainties as they require us to make assumptions about future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. We determined that none of the goodwill associated with our reporting units was impaired. The estimated fair values of each reporting unit substantially exceeded their carrying values at the date of testing. We applied a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit, which at such date, would not have triggered additional impairment testing and analysis.

        An interim goodwill impairment test in advance of the annual impairment assessment may be required if events occur that indicate an impairment might be present. For example, a substantial decline in our market capitalization may signal that an interim impairment test is needed. Accordingly, among other factors, we monitor changes in our share price between annual impairment tests to ensure that our market capitalization continues to exceed the carrying value of our consolidated net assets. We consider a decline in our share price that corresponds to an overall deterioration in stock market conditions to be less of an indicator of goodwill impairment than a unilateral decline in our share price reflecting adverse changes in our underlying operating performance, cash flows, financial condition, and/or liquidity. In the event that our market capitalization does decline below its book value, we would consider the length and severity of the decline and the reason for the decline when assessing whether potential goodwill impairment exists. We believe that short-term fluctuations in share prices may not necessarily reflect underlying values. For example, a decline in share price due to the following reasons may not be indicative of an actual decline in the aggregate fair value at the reporting unit level:

•

the decline is linked to external events or conditions, such as broad market reaction to circumstances associated with one (or a few) pharmaceutical companies, which could cause temporary market declines for other companies in the same sector; or

•

the decline is associated with unusual market activity, such as a spike in short selling activity, which may have a temporary impact on a company's market capitalization but not reflect its underlying fair value.

        However, if a decline in our market capitalization below book value persists for an extended period of time, we would likely consider the decline to be indicative of a decline in the aggregate fair value at the reporting unit level.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Contingencies

        In the normal course of business, we are subject to loss contingencies, such as claims and assessments arising from litigation and other legal proceedings; contractual indemnities; product and environmental liabilities; and tax matters. We are required to accrue for such loss contingencies if it is probable that the outcome will be unfavorable and if the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We are often unable to develop a best estimate of loss, in which case the minimum amount of loss, which could be zero, is recorded. We evaluate our exposure to loss based on the progress of each contingency, experience in similar contingencies, and consultation with internal and external legal counsel. We re-evaluate all contingencies as additional information becomes available. Given the uncertainties inherent in complex litigation and other contingencies, these evaluations can involve significant judgment about future events. The ultimate outcome of any litigation or other contingency may be material to our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. For a discussion of our current legal proceedings, see note 24 to the 2011 Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

        We have operations in various countries that have differing tax laws and rates. Our tax structure is supported by current domestic tax laws in the countries in which we operate and the application of tax treaties between the various countries in which we operate. Our income tax reporting is subject to audit by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Our effective tax rate may change from year to year based on changes in the mix of activities and income allocated or earned among the different jurisdictions in which we operate, changes in tax laws in these jurisdictions, changes in tax treaties between various countries in which we operate, changes in our eligibility for benefits under those tax treaties, and changes in the estimated values of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such changes could result in an increase in the effective tax rate on all or a portion of our income and/or any of our subsidiaries.

        Our provision for income taxes is based on a number of estimates and assumptions made by management. Our consolidated income tax rate is affected by the amount of income earned in our various operating jurisdictions, the availability of benefits under tax treaties, and the rates of taxes payable in respect of that income. We enter into many transactions and arrangements in the ordinary course of business in which the tax treatment is not entirely certain. We must therefore make estimates and judgments based on our knowledge and understanding of applicable tax laws and tax treaties, and the application of those tax laws and tax treaties to our business, in determining our consolidated tax provision. For example, certain countries could seek to tax a greater share of income than has been provided for by us. The final outcome of any audits by taxation authorities may differ from the estimates and assumptions we have used in determining our consolidated income tax provisions and accruals. This could result in a material effect on our consolidated income tax provision, results of operations, and financial condition for the period in which such determinations are made.

        Our income tax returns are subject to audit in various jurisdictions. Existing and future audits by, or other disputes with, tax authorities may not be resolved favorably for us and could have a material adverse effect on our reported effective tax rate and after-tax cash flows. We record liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which involves significant management judgment. New laws and new interpretations of laws and rulings by tax authorities may affect the liability for uncertain tax positions. Due to the subjectivity and complex nature of the underlying issues, actual payments or assessments may differ from our estimates. To the extent that our estimates differ from amounts eventually assessed and paid our income and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.

        We assess whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the tax benefits associated with our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance for assets that are not expected to result in a realized tax benefit. A significant amount of judgment is used in this process, including preparation of forecasts of future taxable income and evaluation of tax planning initiatives. If we revise these forecasts or determine that certain planning events will not occur, an adjustment to the valuation allowance will be made to tax expense in the period such determination is made.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Share-Based Compensation

        We recognize employee share-based compensation, including grants of stock options and RSUs, at estimated fair value. As there is no market for trading our employee stock options, we use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate stock option fair values, which requires certain assumptions related to the expected life of the stock option, future stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The expected life of the stock option is based on historical exercise and forfeiture patterns. Future stock price volatility is based on historical volatility of our common shares over the expected life of the stock option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate at the time of grant for U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock option. Dividend yield is based on the stock option's exercise price and expected annual dividend rate at the time of grant. Changes to any of these assumptions, or the use of a different option-pricing model, such as the lattice model, could produce a different fair value for share-based compensation expense, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

        We determine the fair value of each RSU granted based on the trading price of our common shares on the date of grant, unless the vesting of the RSU is conditional on the attainment of any applicable performance goals, in which case we use a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved. Changes to any of these inputs could materially affect the measurement of the fair value of the performance-based RSUs.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

        Information regarding the adoption of new accounting guidance is contained in note 2 to the 2011 Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of December 31, 2011

        Effective January 1, 2012, we will adopt the provisions of the following new accounting standards:

•

Guidance that results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

•

Guidance requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. This guidance does not change the components of other comprehensive income or the calculation of earnings per share. The effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income has been deferred. As the guidance relates only to the presentation of other comprehensive income, the adoption of this accounting standard will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

•

Guidance intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing, by allowing an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the material financial and non-financial information required to be disclosed on reports and filed or submitted with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner. Based on our evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2011 are effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our reports.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

        Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our 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.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

        The scope of management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting includes all of the Company's consolidated operations except for the operations of PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Afexa, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Ganehill, (together, the "Acquired Companies") which represented approximately 11% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, and assets associated with the Acquired Companies represented approximately 4% of the Company's consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2011.

        The effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report on page F-3 of the 2011 Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation thereof by our management, including the CEO and CFO, during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORTS OF MANAGEMENT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Financial Statements

        The Company's management is responsible for preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management selects appropriate accounting policies and uses its judgment and best estimates to report events and transactions as they occur. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects. Financial information included throughout this Annual Report is prepared on a basis consistent with that of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been engaged by the Company's shareholders to audit the consolidated financial statements.

        The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibility for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements. The Board of Directors carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit and Risk Committee. The members of the Audit and Risk Committee are outside Directors. The Audit and Risk Committee considers, for review by the Board of Directors and approval by the shareholders, the engagement or reappointment of the external auditors. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has full and free access to the Audit and Risk Committee.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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 generally accepted accounting principles.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

        The scope of management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting includes all of the Company's consolidated operations except for the operations of iNova, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, Afexa Life Sciences Inc., AB Sanitas, PharmaSwiss S.A. and Ganehill Pty Limited (together, the "Acquired Companies"), which the Company acquired through purchase business combinations during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Acquired Companies represented approximately 11% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, and assets associated with the Acquired Companies represented approximately 4% of the Company's consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2011.

        The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report on page F-3 herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.

        In our opinion, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 2011 appearing under Item 15(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company 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 (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these 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 Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the 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 audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides 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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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.

        As described in the Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded iNova, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, Afexa Life Sciences Inc., AB Sanitas, PharmaSwiss S.A. and Ganehill Pty Limited (together, the "Acquired Companies") from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 because the Acquired Companies were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2011. We have also excluded the Acquired Companies from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. The Acquired Companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues represent 4% and 11%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., formerly Biovail Corporation, as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule II included in Item 15 for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. at December 31, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

(All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

On September 28, 2010 (the "Merger Date"), Biovail Corporation ("Biovail") completed the acquisition of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International ("Valeant") through a wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2010, with Valeant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, Biovail was renamed "Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc." (the "Company"). The Company is a multinational specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of pharmaceutical products primarily in the areas of neurology, dermatology and branded generics.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in United States ("U.S.") dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis.

As described in note 3, the Merger has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Biovail was both the legal and accounting acquirer in the Merger. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Valeant from the Merger Date.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The Company has entered into collaboration and license arrangements with other entities for various products under development. These arrangements typically include upfront and contingent milestone and royalty payments. All such arrangements were determined not to be variable interests in the entities. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the financial results of any of these entities.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation.

Acquisitions

Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value, with limited exceptions. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") is recognized at fair value and initially characterized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use. If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include: provisions for product returns, rebates and chargebacks; useful lives of amortizable intangible assets; expected future cash flows used in evaluating intangible assets for impairment; reporting unit fair values in testing goodwill for impairment; provisions for loss contingencies; provisions for income taxes and realizability of deferred tax assets; and the allocation of the purchase price of acquired assets and businesses, including the fair value of contingent consideration. Under certain product manufacturing and supply agreements, management relies on estimates for future returns, rebates and chargebacks made by the Company's commercialization counterparties. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company's business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company's consolidated financial statements could be materially impacted.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short maturity periods. The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is based on estimated discounted future cash flows and assessment of the probability of occurrence of potential future events. The fair values of marketable securities and long-term debt are based on quoted market prices, if available, or estimated discounted future cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, treasury bills, certain money-market funds, term deposits and investment-grade commercial paper with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Marketable Securities

Marketable debt securities are classified as being available-for-sale. These securities are reported at fair value with all unrealized gains and temporary unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Other-than-temporary credit losses that represent a decrease in the cash flows expected to be collected on these securities are recognized in net income. Other-than-temporary non-credit losses related to all other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income, if the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of these securities are recognized in net income. The cost of securities sold, and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings, is calculated using the specific identification method, if determinable, otherwise the average cost method is applied. The amortization of acquisition premiums or discounts is recorded as a deduction from or addition to interest income earned on these securities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable.

The Company invests its excess cash in high-quality, liquid money market instruments with varying maturities, but typically less than three months. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its cash or cash equivalents.

In 2011, the Company's marketable securities portfolio includes investment-grade corporate enterprise fixed income debt securities that mature within one year. In 2010, the Company's marketable securities portfolio included investment-grade corporate, government or government-sponsored enterprise fixed income debt securities with a maximum term to maturity of three years.

The Company's accounts receivable primarily arise from product sales in the U.S. and Europe and primarily represent amounts due from wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, government entities and group purchasing organizations. Outside of the U.S., concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables, which are typically unsecured, are limited due to the number of customers using the Company's products, as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of customers and does not require collateral. The Company monitors economic conditions, including volatility associated with international economies, and related impacts on the relevant financial markets and its business, especially in light of sovereign credit issues. The credit and economic conditions within Italy, Portugal, Spain and Greece, among other members of the European Union, have deteriorated. These conditions have increased, and may continue to increase, the average length of time that it takes to collect on the Company's accounts receivable outstanding in these countries. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based on the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts experience, and changes in customer payment patterns. Accounts receivables balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company's three largest U.S. wholesaler customers accounted for 32% and 46% of net trade receivables, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company's net trade receivable balance from Greece amounted to $7.2 million and has been outstanding for less than one year. The portion of the Greece receivables past due more than 90 days is negligible. As of December 31, 2011, the Company does not have any outstanding trade receivable balances from Italy, Portugal or Spain. The Company has not experienced any significant losses from uncollectible accounts in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Inventories

Inventories comprise raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, which are valued at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost for work in process and finished goods inventories includes materials, direct labor, and an allocation of overheads. Market for raw materials is replacement cost, and for work in process and finished goods is net realizable value.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventories on a regular basis, taking into account such factors as historical and anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, the price the Company expects to obtain for products in their respective markets compared with historical cost and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred on assets under construction are capitalized as construction in progress. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, commencing when the assets become available for productive use, based on the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	Up to 40 years
Machinery and equipment	3 - 20 years
Other equipment	3 - 10 years
Leasehold improvements and capital leases	Lesser of term of lease or 10 years

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

Product brands	1 - 25 years
Corporate brands	4 - 20 years
Product rights	1 - 20 years
Partner relationships	3 - 8 years
Out-licensed technology and other	4 - 10 years

IPR&D

The fair value of IPR&D acquired through a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the completion or abandonment of the related research and development activities. When the related research and development is completed, the asset will be assigned a useful life and amortized.

The fair value of an IPR&D intangible asset is determined using an income approach. This approach starts with a forecast of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. The net cash flows reflect the asset's stage of completion, the probability of technical success, the projected costs to complete, expected market competition, and an assessment of the asset's life cycle. The net cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Indicators of potential impairment include: an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; an adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, or in its physical condition; and current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the asset is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including acquired IPR&D, are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment losses on indefinite-lived intangible

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

assets are recognized based solely on a comparison of the fair value of the asset to its carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability test.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment.

The Company operates in the following business segments: U.S. Neurology and Other; U.S. Dermatology; Canada and Australia; Branded Generics — Europe; and Branded Generics — Latin America. Each of the U.S. Neurology and Other, U.S. Dermatology and Branded Generics — Europe segments consist of one reporting unit. The Canada and Australia segment consists of two geographical reporting units. Similarly, the Branded Generics — Latin America segment consists of two reporting units based on geography, namely Mexico and Brazil. The Company estimated the fair values of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis approach. These calculations contain uncertainties as they require us to make assumptions about future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined that none of the goodwill associated with its reporting units was impaired.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are recorded in other long-term assets. Amortization expense is included in interest expense.

Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to market risks, including foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor does it enter into trades for which there is no underlying exposure. Derivative financial instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments based on whether they meet the criteria for designation as hedging transactions, either as cash flow, net investment, or fair value hedges. Depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of a hedged item are either offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Company did not hold any derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and at the average exchange rate for the reporting period for revenue and expense accounts. The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than an operation's functional currency are recognized in net income.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Product Sales

Product sales revenue is recognized when title has transferred to the customer and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Amounts received from customers as prepayments for products to be shipped in the future are recorded in deferred revenue.

Revenue from product sales is recognized net of provisions for estimated discounts, allowances, returns, rebates and chargebacks. The Company offers discounts for prompt payment and other incentive allowances to customers. Provisions for discounts and allowances are estimated based on contractual sales terms with customers and historical payment experience. The Company allows customers to return

product within a specified period of time before and after its expiration date. Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical return levels, taking into account additional available information on competitive products and contract changes. The Company has data sharing agreements with the three largest wholesalers in the U.S. Where the Company does not have data sharing agreements, it uses third-party data to estimate the level of product inventories and product demand at wholesalers and retail pharmacies. The Company reviews its methodology and adequacy of the provision for returns on a quarterly basis, adjusting for changes in assumptions, historical results and business practices, as necessary. The Company is subject to rebates on sales made under governmental and commercial rebate programs, and chargebacks on sales made to government agencies, retail pharmacies and group purchasing organizations. Provisions for rebates and chargebacks are estimated based on historical experience, relevant statutes with respect to governmental pricing programs, and contractual sales terms.

The Company is party to manufacturing and supply agreements with a number of commercialization counterparties in the U.S. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company's supply prices for its products are determined after taking into consideration estimates for future returns, rebates, and chargebacks provided by each counterparty. The Company makes adjustments as needed to state these estimates on a basis consistent with this policy, and its methodology for estimating returns, rebates and chargebacks related to its own direct product sales.

Alliance and Royalty

The Company earns royalties and profit share revenue as a result of the licensing of product rights to third parties. Royalties and profit share revenue are earned at the time the related product is sold by the licensee based on the terms of the specific licensing agreement and when the Company has no future obligations with respect to the royalty or profit share. The Company relies on financial information provided by licensees to estimate the amounts due to it under the related agreements.

Service and Other

Service revenue attributable to the performance of contract services is recognized as the services are performed, under the proportionate performance method of revenue recognition. Performance is measured based on units-of-work performed relative to total units-of-work contracted. Units-of-work is generally measured based on hours spent.

For clinical research services provided by the Company's contract research division ("CRD") prior to its disposal in July 2010 (as described in note 6), units-of-work was generally measured in terms of bed night stays, and for laboratory-testing services, units-of-work was generally measured in terms of numbers of samples analyzed.

Research and Development Expenses

Costs related to internal research and development programs, including costs associated with the development of acquired IPR&D, are expensed as goods are delivered or services are performed. Under certain research and development arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, milestone payments made to third parties are expensed when the milestone is achieved. Milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the approved product.

Amounts due from third parties as reimbursement of development activities conducted under certain research and development arrangements are recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses.

Legal Costs

Legal fees and other costs related to litigation and other legal proceedings are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Legal costs expensed are reported net of expected insurance recoveries. A claim for insurance recovery is recognized when the claim becomes probable of realization.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs comprise product samples, print media and promotional materials. Advertising costs related to new product launches are expensed on the first use of the advertisement. The Company did not have any deferred advertising costs recorded as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Advertising costs expensed in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $106.3 million, $29.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted share units ("RSUs"), at estimated fair value. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock option or RSU grants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual stock option or RSU grant, which generally equals the vesting period. Stock option and RSU forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The fair value of deferred share units ("DSUs") granted to non-management directors is recognized as compensation expense at the grant date, and a DSU liability is recorded in accrued liabilities. The fair value of the DSU liability is remeasured at each reporting date, with a corresponding adjustment to compensation expense in the reporting period.

Share-based compensation is recorded in cost of goods sold, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring and other costs, as appropriate.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

Acquisition-related contingent consideration, which consists primarily of potential milestone payments and royalty obligations, is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at its acquisition date estimated fair value, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Changes in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations result from several factors including changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified milestone criteria. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in fair value measurement accounting.

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes standby fees and the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs. Interest costs are expensed as incurred, except to the extent such interest is related to construction in progress, in which case interest is capitalized. The Company did not capitalize any interest costs in 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to remain unrealized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws.

The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions are classified as long-term unless expected to be paid within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in the provision for income taxes and classified with the related liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period after giving effect to dilutive potential common shares for stock options, RSUs and convertible debt, determined using the treasury stock method.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income comprises foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized temporary holding gains or losses on available-for-sale investments, and the non-credit component of other-than-temporary losses on marketable debt securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income is recorded as a component of shareholders' equity.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as claims and assessments arising from litigation and other legal proceedings, contractual indemnities, product and environmental liabilities, and tax matters. Accruals for loss contingencies are recorded when the Company determines that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If the estimate of the amount of the loss is a range and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued as a liability. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued as a liability.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the following accounting standards:

•

Guidance on the recognition and classification of fees imposed on pharmaceutical manufacturers under the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

•

Guidance recognizing the milestone method of revenue recognition as a valid application of the proportional performance model when applied to research and development arrangements.

•

Amendments to the recognition and measurement guidance for multiple-element revenue arrangements.

The adoption of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company will adopt the provisions of the following new accounting standards effective January 1, 2012:

•

Guidance that results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

•

Guidance requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. This guidance does not change the components of other comprehensive income or the calculation of earnings per share. The effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income has been deferred. As the guidance relates only to the presentation of other comprehensive income, the adoption of this accounting standard will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

•

Guidance is intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing, by allowing an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3.     BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Since the Merger, the Company has focused its business on core geographies and therapeutic classes through selective acquisitions, dispositions and strategic partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies.

Biovail Merger with Valeant

Description of the Transaction

On September 28, 2010, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail acquired all of the outstanding equity of Valeant in a share transaction, in which each share of Valeant common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 1.7809 Biovail common shares. The share consideration was valued at $26.35 per share based on the market price of Biovail's common shares as of the Merger Date. In addition, immediately preceding the effective time of the Merger, Valeant paid its stockholders a special dividend of $16.77 per share (the "pre-Merger special dividend") of Valeant common stock. As a result of the Merger, Valeant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail.

On December 22, 2010, the Company paid a post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share (the "post-Merger special dividend"). The post-Merger special dividend comprised aggregate cash paid of $297.6 million and 72,283 shares issued to shareholders that elected to reinvest in additional common shares of the Company through a special dividend reinvestment plan, which plan was terminated following payment of the post-Merger special dividend.

Valeant is a multinational specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of pharmaceutical products. Valeant's specialty pharmaceutical and over-the-counter ("OTC") products are marketed under brand names and are sold in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, where Valeant focuses most of its efforts on the dermatology and neurology therapeutic classes. Valeant also has branded generic and OTC operations in Europe and Latin America, which focus on pharmaceutical products that are bioequivalent to original products and are marketed under company brand names.

Basis of Presentation

The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the share consideration transferred be measured at the acquisition date based on the then-current market price and that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition- related transaction costs and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges are not included as a component of the acquisition accounting, but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.

Fair Value of Consideration Transferred

The following table indicates the consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of Valeant:

(Number of shares, stock options and restricted share units in thousands)	Conversion Calculation		Fair Value		Form of Consideration
Number of common shares of Biovail issued in exchange for Valeant common stock outstanding as of the Merger Date		139,137
Multiplied by Biovail's stock price as of the Merger Date(a)	$	26.35	$	3,666,245	Common shares
Number of common shares of Biovail expected to be issued pursuant to vested Valeant RSUs as a result of the Merger		1,694
Multiplied by Biovail's stock price as of the Merger date(a)	$	26.35		44,643	Common shares
Fair value of vested and partially vested Valeant stock options converted into Biovail stock options				110,687	Stock options(b)
Fair value of vested and partially vested Valeant RSUs converted into Biovail RSUs				58,726	RSUs(c)
Cash consideration paid and payable				51,739	Cash(d)
Total fair value of consideration transferred			$	3,932,040

(a)

As the Merger was effective at 12:01 a.m. on September 28, 2010, the conversion calculation reflects the closing price of Biovail's common shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") at September 27, 2010.



(b)

The fair value of the vested and partially vested portions of Valeant stock options that were converted into stock options of Biovail was recognized as a component of the consideration transferred, based on a weighted-average fair value of $17.63 per stock option, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This calculation considered the closing price of Biovail's common shares of $26.35 per share as of the Merger Date and the following assumptions:

Expected volatility	32.9%
Expected life	3.4 years
Risk-free interest rate	1.1%
Expected dividend yield	1.5%

The expected life of the options was determined by taking into account the contractual life of the options and estimated exercise pattern of the option holders. The expected volatility and risk-free interest rate were determined based on current market information, and the dividend yield was derived based on the expectation of the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share of the Company and no dividends thereafter.

The fair values of the exchanged Biovail stock options exceeded the fair values of the vested and partially vested Valeant stock options as of the Merger Date in an amount of $17.2 million, which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation expense.

(c)

The fair value of the vested portion of Valeant time-based and performance-based RSUs converted into RSUs of Biovail was recognized as a component of the purchase price. The fair value of the vested portion of the Valeant time-based RSUs was determined based on the closing price of Biovail's common shares of $26.35 per share as of the Merger Date. The fair value of Valeant performance-based RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved.

The fair value of the exchanged Biovail time-based RSUs exceeded the fair value of the vested and partially vested Valeant time-based RSUs as of the Merger Date in an amount of $3.8 million, which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation expense.

(d)

Cash consideration includes $39.7 million of income tax withholdings paid by the Company on behalf of employees of Valeant, in connection with the net share settlement of certain vested Valeant RSUs as of the Merger Date. In addition, under the terms of the Company's employment agreement with J. Michael Pearson, Chief Executive Officer, cash equal to the pre-Merger special dividend payment was paid to Mr. Pearson in respect of any of his 2008 performance awards that vested in February 2011 at the time of such vesting. As of the Merger Date, the aggregate amount of this cash payment in respect of the pre-Merger special dividend was estimated to be $13.7 million, based on the assumption that Mr. Pearson's 2008 performance awards will vest at the maximum performance target. Of that amount, the portion attributable to Mr. Pearson's pre-Merger service ($12.1 million) was recognized in the fair value of consideration transferred, while the portion attributable to Mr. Pearson's post-Merger service ($1.6 million) was recognized as share-based compensation expense over the remaining vesting period from the Merger Date to February 2011.

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger Date, as well as measurement period adjustments to the amounts originally recorded in 2010. The measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's previously reported results of operations or financial position in any period subsequent to the Merger Date and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted its consolidated financial statements.

As described in note 14, in connection with the Merger, Valeant secured financing of $125.0 million under a senior secured revolving credit facility, $1.0 billion under a senior secured term loan A facility (the "Term Loan A Facility"), and $1.625 billion under a senior secured term loan B facility (the "Term Loan B Facility"), and used a portion of the proceeds to undertake the following transactions prior to the Merger Date:

•

fund the payment of the pre-Merger special dividend;

•

fund the legal defeasance of Valeant's existing 8.375% and 7.625% senior unsecured notes, by depositing with the trustees amounts sufficient to pay 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, on October 27, 2010; and

•

fund the repayment in full of indebtedness under Valeant's existing senior secured term loan.

Concurrent with the closing of the Merger, Valeant issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due 2017 (the "2017 Notes") and $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes"). A portion of the proceeds of the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes offering was used to pay down $1.0 billion of the Term Loan B Facility.

Valeant incurred $118.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the above financings that were ascribed a fair value of nil in the acquisition accounting.

In addition, as of the Merger Date, Valeant had $225.0 million outstanding principal amount of 4.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2013 (the "4.0% Convertible Notes"). The Company is required to separately account for the liability component and equity component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, as these notes have cash settlement features. The fair value of the 4.0% Convertible Notes was determined to be $446.5 million. A fair value of $220.5 million has been allocated to the liability component in a manner reflecting the Company's interest rate for a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature. The residual of the fair value of $226.0 million represents the carrying amount of the equity component, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital in the Company's consolidated shareholders' equity.

On April 20, 2011, the Company distributed a notice of redemption to holders of Valeant's 4.0% Convertible Notes, pursuant to which all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes would be redeemed on May 20, 2011 (the "Redemption Date"), at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The 4.0% Convertible Notes called for redemption could be converted at the election of the holders at any time before the close of business on May 19, 2011. Consequently, all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share. For further details regarding the settlement of the 4% Convertible Notes, see note 14 titled "LONG-TERM DEBT".

Includes the fair value of contingent consideration related to Valeant's acquisition of Princeton Pharma Holdings LLC, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Aton Pharma, Inc. ("Aton"), on May 26, 2010. The aggregate fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $21.6 million as of the Merger Date. The contingent consideration consists of future milestones predominantly based upon the achievement of approval and commercial targets for certain pipeline products (which are included in the fair value ascribed to the IPR&D assets acquired, as described above under (h)). The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could be obligated to pay as contingent consideration ranges from nil to $390.0 million. During 2011, the Company suspended the development of the A002 program. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $16.3 million to write down the IPR&D asset related to the A002 program, which was recognized as Acquired IPR&D in the Company's consolidated statements of income (loss). For further details, see note 12 titled "INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL". The impairment charges were partially offset by a gain of $9.4 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the Company's consolidated statements of income (loss).



(m)

The Company assumed Valeant's existing call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes. These agreements consisted of purchased call options on 15,813,338 common shares of the Company, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of shares, which matured on August 18, 2011. For further details regarding the settlement of these call options, see note 14 titled "LONG-TERM DEBT".

In addition, the Company assumed written call option agreements in respect of 3,863,670 common shares of the Company underlying Valeant's 3.0% convertible subordinated notes that matured in August 2010. The written call options on shares underlying the 3.0% convertible subordinated notes expired on November 15, 2010, and were settled over the following 30 business days. On November 19, 2010, the call option agreements were amended to require cash settlement, resulting in the reclassification of the $32.8 million fair value of the written call options as a liability as of that date. The Company recognized a loss of $10.1 million on the written call options settled for cash, which has been included in loss on extinguishment of debt (as described in note 19).

(n)

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the Merger Date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

•

cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of Valeant with those of Biovail;

•

the value of the going-concern element of Valeant's existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if Biovail had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

iNova

Description of the Transaction

On December 21, 2011, the Company acquired iNova from Archer Capital, Ironbridge Capital and other minority management shareholders. The Company made upfront payments of $656.7 million (AUD$657.9 million) and the Company will pay a series of potential milestones of up to $59.9 million (AUD$60.0 million) based on the success of pipeline activities, product registrations and overall revenue. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $44.5 million as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2011, the assumptions used for determining the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration have not changed significantly from those used at the acquisition date.

In connection with the transaction, in November and December 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency forward-exchange contracts to buy AUD$625.0 million, which were settled on December 20, 2011. The Company recorded a $16.4 million foreign exchange gain on the settlement of these contracts, which was recognized in Foreign exchange and other in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011.

iNova sells and distributes a range of prescription and OTC products in Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and South Africa. iNova owns, develops and markets a diversified portfolio of prescription and OTC pharmaceutical products in the Asia Pacific region and South Africa, including leading therapeutic weight management brands such as Duromine®/Metermine®, as well as leading OTC brands in the cold and cough area, such as Difflam®, Duro-Tuss® and Rikodeine®.

Sanitas

Description of the Transaction

On August 19, 2011 (the "Sanitas Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired 87.2% of the outstanding shares of AB Sanitas ("Sanitas") for cash consideration of $392.3 million. Prior to the Sanitas Acquisition Date, the Company acquired 1,502,432 shares of Sanitas, which represented approximately 4.8% of the outstanding shares. As a result, as of the Sanitas Acquisition Date, the Company held a controlling financial interest in Sanitas of 92%, or 28,625,025 shares. The acquisition date fair value of the 8% noncontrolling interest in Sanitas of $34.8 million, and the acquisition date fair value of the previously-held 4.8% equity interest of $21.1 million, were estimated using quoted market prices on such date.

As of the Sanitas Acquisition Date, the Company reclassified the unrealized loss of $0.2 million related to the previously-held equity interest from other comprehensive income to earnings, which was included in Gain (loss) on investments, net in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

On September 2, 2011, the Company announced a mandatory non-competitive tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase the remaining outstanding ordinary shares of Sanitas from all public shareholders at €10.06 per share. The Tender Offer closed on September 15, 2011, on which date the Company purchased an additional 1,968,631 shares (6.4% of the outstanding shares of Sanitas) for approximately $27.4 million. As a result of this purchase, the Company owned 30,593,656 shares or approximately 98.4% of Sanitas as of September 15, 2011.

On September 22, 2011, the Company received approval from the Securities Commission of the Republic of Lithuania to conduct the mandatory tender offer through squeeze out procedures (the "Squeeze Out") at a price per one ordinary share of Sanitas equal to €10.06, which requested that all minority shareholders sell to the Company the ordinary shares of Sanitas owned by them (512,264 ordinary shares, or 1.6% of Sanitas).

As the Company maintained a controlling financial interest in Sanitas during the Tender Offer, the additional ownership interest of 6.4% acquired in Sanitas was accounted for as an equity transaction between owners. The noncontrolling interest in Sanitas of approximately 1.6% to be acquired through the Squeeze Out procedures was classified as a liability in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as it was mandatorily redeemable. As of December 31, 2011, the amount due to Sanitas shareholders of $2.4 million was included in Accrued liabilities.

Sanitas has a broad branded generics product portfolio consisting of 390 products in nine countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, Russia and Lithuania. Sanitas has in-house development capabilities in dermatology, hospital injectables and ophthalmology, and a pipeline of internally developed and acquired dossiers.

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the provisional values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

•

cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of Sanitas with those of the Company;

•

the value of the continuing operations of Sanitas's existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

•

intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Sanitas's assembled workforce).

The provisional amount of goodwill has been allocated to the Company's Branded Generics — Europe business segment as indicated in note 12.

Acquisition-Related Costs

The Company has incurred to date $8.4 million of transaction costs directly related to the Sanitas acquisition, which includes expenditures for advisory, legal, valuation, accounting and other similar services. These costs have been expensed as acquisition-related costs.

Revenue and Net Loss of Sanitas

The revenues of Sanitas for the period from the Sanitas Acquisition Date to December 31, 2011 were $49.6 million and net loss was $7.0 million. The net loss includes the effects of the acquisition accounting adjustments of $16.3 million, the acquisition-related costs of $8.4 million and acquisition-related integration and restructuring costs of $7.1 million. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the period from the Sanitas Acquisition Date to December 31, 2011 was immaterial.

Elidel®/Xerese®

On June 29, 2011, the Company entered into a license agreement with Meda Pharma SARL ("Meda") to acquire the exclusive rights to commercialize both Elidel® Cream and Xerese® Cream in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In addition, the Company and Meda have the right to undertake development work in respect of Elidel® and Xerese® products. The Company made an upfront payment to Meda of $76.0 million with an obligation to pay a series of potential milestone payments of up to $16.0 million and guaranteed royalties totaling $120.0 million in the aggregate through 2011 and 2012. Thereafter, the Company will pay a double-digit royalty to Meda on net sales of Elidel®, Xerese® and Zovirax®, including additional minimum royalties of $120.0 million in the aggregate during 2013-2015. The Company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® in the first quarter of 2011 (as described in note 4).

The Elidel®/Xerese® transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the upfront and contingent consideration, inclusive of minimum and variable royalty payments, was determined to be $437.7 million as of the acquisition date. As the majority of the contingent consideration relates to future royalty payments, the amount ultimately to be paid under this arrangement will be dependent on the future sales levels of Elidel®, Xerese®, and Zovirax®. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the royalty payments associated with this transaction are treated as part of the consideration paid for the business, and therefore the Company will not recognize royalty expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for these products. The royalty payments are being recorded as a reduction to the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a loss of $11.2 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The loss was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of income (loss). During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company made $28.5 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration payments, including royalties and milestones, related to this transaction. In January 2012, the Company made additional royalty and milestone payments totaling $27.5 million.

The total fair value of the consideration transferred has been assigned to product brands intangible assets ($406.4 million), acquired IPR&D assets ($33.5 million) and a net deferred income tax liability ($(2.2) million). The product brands intangible assets have an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately eight years. The acquired IPR&D assets relate to the development of a Xerese® life-cycle product. The Company has incurred to date $0.4 million of transaction costs directly related to the license agreement, which have been expensed as acquisition-related costs. In the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2011, the revenue and

earnings from the sale of Elidel® and Xerese® products under the license agreement were $38.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The earnings include the effects of the acquisition accounting adjustments of $26.4 million and the acquisition-related costs of $0.4 million.

PharmaSwiss

Description of the Transaction

On March 10, 2011, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of PharmaSwiss S.A. ("PharmaSwiss"), a privately-owned branded generics and OTC pharmaceutical company based in Zug, Switzerland. As of the acquisition date, the total consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of PharmaSwiss comprised cash paid of $491.2 million (€353.1 million) and the rights to contingent consideration payments of up to $41.7 million (€30.0 million) if certain net sales milestones of PharmaSwiss were achieved for the 2011 calendar year. The fair value of the contingent payments was determined to be $27.5 million as of the acquisition date. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $13.2 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The Company is determining whether a contingent consideration payment of $13.0 million (€10.0 million) is payable based on the net sales results for the 2011 calendar year.

In connection with the transaction, in February 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency forward-exchange contracts to buy €130.0 million, which were settled on March 9, 2011. The Company recorded a $5.1 million gain on the settlement of these contracts, which was partially offset by a foreign exchange loss of $2.4 million recognized on the remaining €220.0 million bought to finance the transaction. The net foreign exchange gain of $2.7 million was recognized in Foreign exchange and other in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

PharmaSwiss is an existing partner to several large pharmaceutical and biotech companies offering regional expertise in such functions as regulatory, compliance, sales, marketing and distribution, in addition to developing its own product portfolio. Through its business operations, PharmaSwiss offers a broad product portfolio in seven therapeutic areas and operations in 19 countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, including Serbia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland, as well as in Greece and Israel.

(a)

As previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.



(b)

The measurement period adjustments primarily reflect: (i) changes to deferred taxes based on estimates of income tax rates; (ii) changes in the estimated fair value of certain intangible assets; (iii) an increase in the total fair value of consideration transferred pursuant to a working capital adjustment provision of the purchase agreement; and (iv) the tax impact of pre-tax measurement period adjustments. The measurement period adjustments were made to reflect facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, and did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated financial statements and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted those financial statements.



(c)

The fair value of trade accounts receivable acquired was $61.6 million, with the gross contractual amount being $66.8 million, of which the Company expects that $5.2 million will be uncollectible.



(d)

Includes $18.2 million to record PharmaSwiss inventory at its estimated fair value.

(f)

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the provisional values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

•

cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of PharmaSwiss with those of the Company;

•

the value of the going-concern element of PharmaSwiss existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

•

intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, PharmaSwiss assembled workforce).

The provisional amount of goodwill has been allocated to the Company's Branded Generics — Europe business segment as indicated in note 12.

Acquisition-Related Costs

The Company has incurred to date $2.1 million of transaction costs directly related to the PharmaSwiss acquisition, which includes expenditures for advisory, legal, valuation, accounting and other similar services. These costs have been expensed as acquisition-related costs.

Revenue and Net Loss of PharmaSwiss

The revenues of PharmaSwiss for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2011 were $199.9 million and net loss was $23.5 million. The net loss includes the effects of the acquisition accounting adjustments of $41.6 million, the acquisition-related costs of $2.1 million and acquisition-related restructuring and integration costs of $5.6 million.

Tetrabenazine

On June 19, 2009, the Company acquired the worldwide development and commercialization rights to the entire portfolio of tetrabenazine products, including Xenazine® and Nitoman®, held by Cambridge Laboratories (Ireland) Limited and its affiliates (collectively, "Cambridge"). The Company had previously obtained certain licensing rights to tetrabenazine in the U.S. and Canada through the acquisition of Prestwick Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Prestwick") in September 2008. By means of this acquisition, the Company obtained Cambridge's economic interest in the supply of tetrabenazine for the U.S. and Canadian markets, as well as for a number of other countries in Europe and around the world through existing distribution arrangements. In addition, the Company assumed Cambridge's royalty obligations to third parties on the worldwide sales of tetrabenazine.

This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The total purchase price comprised cash consideration of $200.0 million paid on closing, and additional payments of $12.5 million and $17.5 million due to Cambridge on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively, both of which additional payments had been paid by December 31, 2011. These additional payments were fair valued at $26.8 million, using an imputed interest rate comparable to the Company's available borrowing rate at the date of acquisition, and were recorded in long-term debt (as described in note 14). No gain or loss was recognized in conjunction with the effective settlement of the contractual relationship between Prestwick and Cambridge as a result of this acquisition, as the pre-existing contracts could have been terminated without financial penalty. The Company incurred $5.6 million of costs related to this acquisition, which were expensed as acquisition-related costs in the second quarter of 2009.

The total fair value of the consideration transferred had been assigned to inventory ($1.1 million), product rights intangible assets ($189.7 million) and acquired IPR&D assets ($36.0 million). The product rights intangible assets have an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately nine years. The projected cash flows from the products were adjusted for the probabilities of genericization and competition from the IPR&D projects described below.

The acquired IPR&D assets related to a modified-release formulation of tetrabenazine under development initially for the treatment of Tourette's Syndrome (BVF-018) and an isomer of tetrabenazine (RUS-350). A multi-period excess earnings methodology (income approach) was used to determine the estimated fair values of the acquired IPR&D assets. The projected cash flows from these assets were adjusted for the probabilities of successful development and commercialization of each project. A risk-adjusted discount rate of 20% was used to present value the projected cash flows. The fair values assigned to BVF-018 and RUS-350 were $28.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Based on the results of development efforts completed subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company decided to terminate the RUS-350 project in 2009, having determined that the isomer was unlikely to provide meaningful benefits to patients beyond that provided by tetrabenazine, and recorded a charge of $8.0 million to write off the related asset to acquired IPR&D

Except to the extent realized in the year ended December 31, 2011, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits that the Company may achieve as a result of the Merger or PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa acquisitions, or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits. In addition, except to the extent recognized in the year ended December 31, 2011, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect the costs to integrate the operations of the Company with Valeant, PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa.

The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company's consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa acquisitions and the Merger been completed on January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2009, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma information does not purport to project the future results of operations of the Company. The unaudited pro forma information reflects primarily adjustments consistent with the unaudited pro forma information related to the Merger and the following unaudited pro forma adjustments related to PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa:

•

elimination of Valeant, PharmaSwiss's, Sanitas's, Ortho Dermatologics's, iNova's and Afexa's historical intangible asset amortization expense;

•

additional amortization expense related to the provisional fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired;

•

additional depreciation expense related to fair value adjustment to property, plant and equipment acquired;

•

elimination of interest expense related to Valeant's legacy 8.375% and 7.625% senior unsecured notes and senior secured term loan that were repaid as part of the Merger transaction;

•

additional interest expense associated with the financing obtained by Valeant in connection with the various acquisitions;

•

reduced non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of the principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes as a result of the fair value adjustment;

•

elimination of the amortization of deferred financing costs recorded by Biovail related to its senior secured credit facility, which was terminated in connection with the Merger;

•

additional share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and RSUs issued by Biovail to replace Valeant's stock options and RSUs;

•

elimination of Valeant's acquisition-related costs and Merger-related restructuring charges, which will not have a continuing impact on the Company's operations; and

the exclusion from pro forma earnings in the year ended December 31, 2011 of the acquisition accounting adjustments on Valeant's, PharmaSwiss', Sanitas', Ortho Dermatologics', iNova's and Afexa's inventories that were sold subsequent to the acquisition date of $27.3 million, $18.8 million, $5.2 million, $0.7 million, $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and the exclusion of PharmaSwiss', Sanitas', Ortho Dermatologics', iNova's and Afexa's acquisition-related costs of $2.1 million, $8.4 million, $5.3 million, $3.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2011, and the inclusion of those amounts in pro forma earnings for the corresponding periods of 2010.

In addition, all of the above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact.

Other

In 2011, the Company acquired Ganehill Pty Limited ("Ganehill"), an Australian company engaged in the marketing and distribution of skin care products under the Invisible Zinc® brand. The fair value of the total cash and contingent consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of Ganehill was $19.4 million, which was assigned primarily to product brands intangible assets ($12.7 million) and goodwill ($5.4 million). In addition, the Company acquired the product rights in Greece for Procef®, Niflamol®, Superace®, and Monopril® for total consideration of $12.0 million, which was assigned primarily to identifiable intangible assets. The Company also acquired certain other businesses, including the Canadian rights to Aczone™, Delatestryl® and Viroptic®, for approximately $17.7 million in the aggregate, which was assigned primarily to identifiable intangible assets. The Company also acquired from Fleming and Company, Pharmaceuticals the product rights to a number of brands, including Ocean® and Nephrocaps®. The fair value of the total consideration transferred was $15.7 million, which was assigned primarily to product brands intangible assets. The Company does not consider these acquisitions to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to its consolidated results of operations and is therefore not presenting actual or pro forma financial information.

4.     ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU

In connection with the acquisition of Dermik, the Company was required by the FTC to divest 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide gel ("IDP-111"), a generic version of BenzaClin®, and 5% fluorouracil cream ("5-FU"), an authorized generic of Efudex®.

On February 3, 2012, the Company sold the IDP-111 and 5-FU products to Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recognized $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of the carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less costs to sell. The impairment charges are included in Amortization of intangible assets in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011. The adjusted carrying values of $54.4 million and $14.8 million for IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively, were classified as Assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and are included within the U.S. Dermatology reporting segment.

Cloderm®

On March 31, 2011, the Company out-licensed the product rights to Cloderm® Cream, 0.1%, in the U.S. to Promius Pharma LLC, an affiliate of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, in exchange for a $36.0 million upfront payment, which was received in early April 2011, and future royalty payments. The Cloderm® product rights intangible asset was recorded at a fair value of $31.8 million as of the Merger Date, and had a remaining unamortized carrying value of $30.7 million at March 31, 2011. Cloderm® was considered a non-core asset with respect to the Company's business strategy, which contemplates, on an ongoing basis, the selective purchase and sale of products and assets with a focus on core geographies and therapeutic classes. The Company, therefore, considers the out-license or sale of non-core assets to be part of its ongoing major and central operations. Accordingly, proceeds on the out-license or sale of non-core assets are recognized as alliance revenue, with the associated costs, including the carrying amount of related intangible assets, recorded as cost of alliance revenue. In connection with the out-license of the product rights to Cloderm®, the Company recognized the upfront payment as alliance revenue in the first quarter of 2011 and expensed the carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets as cost of alliance revenue. The Company recognizes the royalty payments as alliance revenue as they are earned.

Zovirax®

On February 22, 2011 and March 25, 2011, the Company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights, respectively, to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® from GSK. Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreements, the Company paid GSK an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in cash for both the U.S. and Canadian rights. The Company had been marketing Zovirax® in the U.S. since January 1, 2002, under a 20-year exclusive distribution agreement with GSK, which distribution agreement terminated following the

closing of the U.S. transaction. The Company has entered into new supply agreements and new trademark license agreements with GSK with respect to the U.S. and Canadian territories.

This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of identifiable intangible assets. Accordingly, the purchase price (including costs of acquisition) was allocated to the product brand intangible asset, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of 11 years. In addition, the Company reclassified the $91.4 million unamortized carrying amount of the original exclusive distribution agreement from product rights to the product brand intangible asset, to be amortized over the same 11-year estimated useful life.

Lodalis™

On February 9, 2011, the Company acquired the Canadian rights to Lodalis™ (colesevelam hydrochloride) from Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") for a $2.0 million upfront payment and potential future milestone payments. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use and, accordingly, the upfront payment was charged to acquired IPR&D expense as of the acquisition date. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company made a first milestone payment of $2.0 million to Genzyme, which was charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the period. In September 2011, colesevelam hydrochloride received regulatory approval from Health Canada, in the form of a Notice of Compliance ("NOC"), for commercialization in Canada, which triggered an additional milestone payment of $5.0 million, which the Company paid in October 2011. The Company recognized this milestone as an intangible asset in its consolidated balance sheet. Subsequently, the Company filed for a product name change and a manufacturer name change, and the NOC for Lodalis™ was received from Health Canada on December 28, 2011.

Ribavirin

On November 1, 2010, the Company paid Kadmon Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Kadmon") $7.5 million for exclusive rights to certain dosage forms of ribavirin in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. Ribavirin is indicated for the treatment of viral diseases, including hepatitis C virus. The total purchase price has been capitalized as a product right intangible asset with an estimated useful life of 10 years.

Under a separate agreement dated November 1, 2010, the Company granted Kadmon an exclusive, worldwide license to taribavirin, excluding the territory of Japan, in exchange for an upfront payment of $5.0 million, other development milestones, and royalty payments in the range of 8-12% of future net sales. The fair value associated with ribavirin was included in the acquired IPR&D assets identified as of the Merger Date.

Hamilton Brands

On October 29, 2010, the Company acquired the intellectual property, trademarks and inventory related to the Hamilton skin care brand in Australia for cash consideration of $14.7 million. The purchase price was allocated to the trademark intangible asset ($11.7 million) and inventory ($3.0 million). The useful life of the trademark intangible asset was estimated to be 10 years.

Istradefylline

On June 2, 2010, the Company entered into a license agreement with Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd. ("Kyowa Hakko Kirin") to acquire the U.S. and Canadian rights to develop and commercialize products containing istradefylline — a new chemical entity targeted for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company paid an upfront fee of $10.0 million. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly, the $10.0 million upfront payment, together with $0.2 million of acquisition costs, was charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the second quarter of 2010.

In April 2007, Kyowa Hakko Kirin filed an NDA for istradefylline, which received a Not Approvable letter from the FDA in February 2008. The FDA requested a Complete Response to the Not Approvable letter before considering to meeting with us and discussing the regulatory approval process for istradefylline. The Company determined the available data, including additional studies conducted in Japan, did not support FDA approval of istradefylline. As a result, the agreement with Kyowa Hakko Kirin was terminated on June 2, 2011. No termination fees or penalties were paid in connection with the termination.

Ampakine®

On March 25, 2010, the Company acquired certain Ampakine® compounds, including associated intellectual property, from Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Cortex") for use in the field of respiratory depression, a brain-mediated breathing disorder. The acquired compounds include the Phase 2 compound CX717 in an oral formulation, the pre-clinical compounds CX1763 and CX1942, and the

injectable dosage form of CX1739. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly, upfront payments totaling $10.0 million made by the Company to Cortex, together with $0.7 million of acquisition costs, were charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the first quarter of 2010.

As described in note 6, the Company suspended development of the Ampakine® compounds. The program was sold back to Cortex on March 15, 2011 for an upfront fee of $0.2 million.

Staccato® Loxapine

On February 9, 2010, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Alexza Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Alexza") to acquire the U.S. and Canadian development and commercialization rights to AZ-004 for the treatment of psychiatric and/or neurological indications and the symptoms associated with these indications, including the initial indication of treating agitation in schizophrenia and bipolar patients. AZ-004 combines Alexza's proprietary Staccato® drug-delivery system with the antipsychotic drug loxapine. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly, the $40.0 million upfront payment made by the Company to Alexza, together with $0.3 million of acquisition costs, was charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the first quarter of 2010.

On October 8, 2010, Alexza received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA regarding the New Drug Application ("NDA") for AZ-004, in which the FDA indicated that the NDA was not ready for approval.

As described in note 6, the Company has terminated the collaboration and license agreement with Alexza.

GDNF

On December 21, 2009, the Company entered into a license agreement with Amgen Inc. ("Amgen") and MedGenesis Therapeutix Inc. ("MedGenesis"), pursuant to which the Company was granted a license to exploit GDNF in certain central nervous system ("CNS") indications in certain countries (including the U.S., Canada, Japan, and a number of European countries). At the same time, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with MedGenesis to develop and commercialize GDNF, initially for the treatment of Parkinson's disease in the U.S., Japan and certain European countries and, potentially, in other countries and other CNS indications. Pursuant to the collaboration agreement, the Company was granted a license to MedGenesis's Convection Enhanced Delivery platform for use with GDNF in CNS indications. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly, the $6.0 million upfront payment made by the Company to MedGenesis, together with acquisition costs of $2.9 million, was charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the fourth quarter of 2009.

As described in note 6, the Company has terminated the license agreement with Amgen and MedGenesis and the collaboration agreement with MedGenesis.

Fipamezole

On August 24, 2009, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Santhera Pharmaceuticals (Switzerland) Ltd. ("Santhera"), a subsidiary of Santhera Pharmaceuticals Holding AG, to acquire the U.S. and Canadian rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize fipamezole for the treatment of a number of neurological and psychiatric conditions, including levodopa-induced dyskinesia, also known as Parkinson's disease dyskinesia. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly, upfront payments totaling $12.0 million made by the Company to Santhera, together with acquisition costs of $0.1 million, were charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the third and fourth quarters of 2009.

As described in note 6, the Company has terminated the collaboration and license agreement with Santhera.

Wellbutrin XL®

On May 14, 2009, the Company acquired the full U.S. commercialization rights to Wellbutrin XL® from GSK. The Company had supplied Wellbutrin XL® to GSK for marketing or distribution in the U.S. since September 2003. The Wellbutrin XL® product formulation was developed and is manufactured by the Company under its own patents and proprietary technology.

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, the Company paid $510.0 million to GSK to acquire the U.S. NDA for Wellbutrin XL®. Pursuant to the terms of a trademark and license agreement with GSK, the Company also obtained an exclusive, royalty-free license to the Wellbutrin XL® trademark for use in the U.S. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of identifiable intangible assets. Accordingly, the total purchase price (including costs of acquisition of $0.5 million) was allocated to the trademark

intangible asset, with an estimated useful life of 10 years. In addition, the Company acquired the Wellbutrin XL® finished goods inventory owned by GSK valued at $10.5 million.

Pimavanserin

On May 1, 2009, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("ACADIA") to acquire the U.S. and Canadian rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize pimavanserin in a number of neurological and psychiatric conditions, including Parkinson's disease psychosis, Alzheimer's disease psychosis and, as an adjunctive therapy, to treat schizophrenia. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly, the $30.0 million upfront payment made by the Company to ACADIA, together with acquisition costs of $0.4 million, was charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the second quarter of 2009.

As described in note 6, the Company has terminated the collaboration and license agreement with ACADIA.

5.     COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

In October 2008, Valeant closed the worldwide License and Collaboration Agreement (the "Collaboration Agreement") with GSK to develop and commercialize a first-in-class neuronal potassium channel opener for treatment of adult epilepsy patients with refractory partial onset seizures and its backup compounds, whose generic name will be ezogabine in the U.S. and retigabine in all other countries. Pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Valeant granted co-development rights and worldwide commercialization rights to GSK.

Valeant agreed to share equally with GSK the development and pre-commercialization expenses of ezogabine/retigabine in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Puerto Rico (the "Collaboration Territory"). Following the launch of an ezogabine/retigabine product, the Company will share equally in the profits of ezogabine/retigabine in the Collaboration Territory. In addition, Valeant granted GSK an exclusive license to develop and commercialize retigabine in countries outside of the Collaboration Territory and certain backup compounds to ezogabine/retigabine worldwide. GSK is responsible for all expenses outside of the Collaboration Territory and will solely fund the development of any backup compound. The Company will receive up to a 20% royalty on net sales of retigabine outside of the Collaboration Territory. In addition, if backup compounds are developed and commercialized by GSK, GSK will pay the Company royalties of up to 20% of net sales of products based upon such backup compounds.

Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, GSK will pay the Company up to $545.0 million, of which $40.0 million was received and recognized by the Company in the second quarter of 2011, as described below, based upon the achievement of certain regulatory, commercialization and sales milestones, and the development of additional indications for ezogabine/retigabine. GSK will also pay the Company up to an additional $150.0 million if certain regulatory and commercialization milestones are achieved for backup compounds to ezogabine/retigabine.

In March 2011, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Trobalt™ (retigabine) as an adjunctive treatment of partial onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization in adults aged 18 years and above with epilepsy. In June 2011, the FDA approved the NDA for Potiga™ (ezogabine) tablets as adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients aged 18 years and older; however, the FDA recommended that ezogabine be scheduled as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act prior to the marketing or launch of Potiga™. In December 2011, ezogabine/retigabine received scheduling as a controlled substance, which triggered the commencement of amortization.

In connection with the first sale of Trobalt™ by GSK in the European Union (which occurred in May 2011), GSK paid the Company a $40.0 million milestone payment and will pay up to a 20% royalty on net sales of the product. Upon the first sale of Potiga™ in the U.S., GSK will pay the Company a $45.0 million milestone payment, and the Company will share up to 50% of the net profits from the sale of Potiga™. As substantive uncertainty existed at the inception of the Collaboration Agreement as to whether the milestones would be achieved because of the uncertainty involved with obtaining regulatory approval, no amounts were previously recognized for these potential milestone payments. The milestone payments (1) relate solely to past performance of the Company, (2) are reasonable relative to the other deliverables and payment terms within the Collaboration Agreement, and (3) are commensurate with the Company's efforts in collaboration with GSK to achieve the milestone events and the increase in value of ezogabine/retigabine. Accordingly, the milestones are considered substantive, and the milestone payments are being recognized by the Company as alliance and royalty revenue upon achievement.

The Company's rights to ezogabine/retigabine are subject to an asset purchase agreement between Meda Pharma GmbH & Co. KG ("Meda Pharma") and Xcel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was acquired by Valeant in 2005 (the "Meda Pharma Agreement"). Under the Meda Pharma Agreement, the Company is required to make certain milestone and royalty payments to Meda Pharma. Within the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, any royalty payments to Meda Pharma will be shared by the Company and GSK. In the rest of the

5.     COLLABORATION AGREEMENT (Continued)

world, the Company will be responsible for the payment of these royalties to Meda Pharma from the royalty payments it receives from GSK. In connection with the approval of the NDA for Potiga™, the Company made a $6.0 million milestone payment to Meda Pharma in the second quarter of 2011. As this potential milestone payment had been included in the estimated net future cash flows used to determine the fair value for the ezogabine/retigabine IPR&D assets as of the Merger Date, the payment of this milestone to Meda Pharma was recorded as an addition to the value of those assets.

6.     RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION

Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The Company has largely completed measures to integrate the operations of Biovail and Valeant, capture operating synergies and generate cost savings across the Company. These measures include:

•

workforce reductions across the Company and other organizational changes;

•

closing of duplicative facilities and other site rationalization actions company-wide, including research and development facilities, sales offices and corporate facilities;

•

leveraging research and development spend; and

•

procurement savings.

In connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, the Company has incurred costs including: employee termination costs (including related share-based payments) payable to approximately 500 employees of Biovail and Valeant who have been terminated as a result of the Merger; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer to other parties of product-development programs that did not align with the Company's research and development model; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees, asset impairments charges to write down property, plant and equipment to fair value; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs.

The following table summarizes the major components of costs incurred in connection with Merger-related initiatives through December 31, 2011:

As described below under "— Research and Development Pipeline Rationalization".

As described in note 26, restructuring costs are not recorded in the Company's business segments.

Employee Termination Costs

The Company recognized employee termination costs of $14.5 million and $58.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, for severance and related benefits payable to approximately 500 employees of Biovail and Valeant who have been terminated as a result of the Merger. These reductions primarily reflect the elimination of redundancies and consolidation of staff in the research and development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing functions. As of December 31, 2011, $72.1 million of the termination costs had been paid with the balance payable in the first quarter of 2012.

In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized incremental share-based compensation expense of $49.5 million related to the following stock options and RSUs held by terminated employees of Biovail and Valeant:

Stock options and time-based RSUs held by Biovail employees with employment agreements	$	9,622

Stock options and RSUs held by former executive officers of Valeant		20,065
	$	49,482

The Company recognized an additional $3.5 million in share-based compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2011, related to stock options and RSUs held by terminated employees of Biovail and Valeant.

Research and Development Pipeline Rationalization

Prior to the Merger, the Company's product development and business development efforts were focused on unmet medical needs in specialty CNS disorders. Since the Merger, the Company has been employing a leveraged research and development model that allows it to progress development programs, while minimizing research and development expense, through partnerships and other means. In consideration of this model, following the Merger, the Company conducted a strategic and financial review of its product development pipeline and identified the programs that did not align with the Company's new research and development model. These programs are outlined in the table below. In respect of the Staccato® loxapine, GDNF, tetrabenazine, fipamezole and pimavanserin programs, the Company provided notices of termination to, or entered into termination agreements with, the counterparties to the agreements. Regarding the Ampakine® program, the Company suspended development of these compounds and the program was sold back to Cortex on March 15, 2011 for an upfront fee of $0.2 million.

Represents the maximum amount of previously disclosed milestone payments the Company could have been required to make to the counterparty under each agreement. These milestone payments were contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and commercial milestones. In addition, the Company could have been obligated to make royalty payments based on future net sales of the products if regulatory approval was obtained. As a consequence of the termination of these arrangements, the Company has no ongoing or future obligation in respect of these milestone or royalty payments.

Represents the amount of negotiated settlements with each counterparty that was recognized and paid by the Company in the three-month period ended December 31, 2010.



(3)

Represents the carrying amount of the related acquired IPR&D asset capitalized in connection with the tetrabenazine acquisition in June 2009 (as described in note 3).

In addition to the settlement payments identified in the table above, the Company incurred internal and external costs of $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 that were directly associated with the fulfillment of its remaining contractual obligations under these terminated arrangements, which costs have been recognized as restructuring costs.

Contract Termination, Facility Closure and Other Costs

Facility closure costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2011 included a $9.8 million charge for the remaining operating lease obligations (net of estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained) related to our vacated Mississauga, Ontario corporate office facility and a charge of $1.4 million related to a lease termination payment on our Aliso Viejo, California corporate office facility.

The Company has transitioned a number of its corporate office functions to Bridgewater, New Jersey. As a result, a portion of the previously vacated space in the Bridgewater facility have been reoccupied, resulting in a $2.0 million reversal of a previously recognized restructuring accrual related to that space.

In addition to costs associated with the Company's Merger-related initiatives, the Company incurred $50.9 million of integration-related costs in the year ended December 31, 2011, of which $37.5 million had been paid as of December 31, 2011. These costs were primarily related to the integration of operations following the acquisitions of Afexa, PharmaSwiss, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, Sanitas and iNova, the consolidation of the Company manufacturing facilities in Brazil, and worldwide systems integration initiatives.

Pre-Merger Cost-Rationalization Initiatives

In May 2008, the Company initiated restructuring measures that were intended to rationalize its manufacturing operations, pharmaceutical sciences operations, and general and administrative expenses. The following costs were incurred in connection with these initiatives during the three years ended December 31, 2011:

	Asset Impairments									Employee Termination Costs						Contract Termination, Facility Closure and Other Costs

Manufacturing Operations

On January 15, 2010, the Company completed the sale of its Dorado, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility for net cash proceeds of $8.5 million.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company completed the transfer of remaining manufacturing processes from its Carolina, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility to its plant in Steinbach, Manitoba. Following the end of production, the Company incurred internal and external costs of $1.3 million directly associated with the final shutdown of the Carolina facility, which costs have been recognized as restructuring costs in 2010. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of $0.4 million in 2010 to write off the remaining carrying value of the Carolina facility after unsuccessful efforts to locate a buyer for the facility.

The Company incurred employee termination costs of $9.6 million in total in 2010 for severance and related benefits payable to the approximately 240 employees terminated as a result of the closure of the Dorado and Carolina facilities. As these employees were required to provide service during the shutdown period in order to be eligible for termination benefits, the Company was recognizing the cost of those termination benefits ratably over the estimated future service period.

In 2009, the Company recorded impairment charges of $7.6 million to write down the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment located in Puerto Rico to its estimated fair value.

6.     RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION (Continued)

Pharmaceutical Sciences Operations

On July 23, 2010, the Company completed the sale of CRD to Lambda Therapeutic Research Inc. ("Lambda") for net cash proceeds of $6.4 million. The Company no longer considered CRD a strategic fit as a result of its pre-Merger transition from reformulation programs to the in-licensing, acquisition and development of specialty CNS products. CRD has not been treated as a discontinued operation for accounting purposes, on the basis that its operations were immaterial and incidental to the Company's core business.

The net assets of CRD at the date of disposal comprised net current assets and liabilities of $1.6 million and property, plant and equipment of $4.8 million. The Company recognized employee termination costs of $1.9 million for the approximately 70 CRD employees not offered employment by Lambda.

The consolidated statements of income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 included the following revenue and expenses of CRD, which, as described above, have not been segregated from continuing operations:

	2010			2009
Service and other revenues	$	5,642		$	12,027
Cost of services		7,211			13,849
Selling, general and administrative expenses		2,328			3,718
Total operating expenses		9,539			17,567
Operating loss		(3,897	)		(5,540	)
Foreign exchange gain (loss)		(102	)		93
Net loss	$	(3,999	)	$	(5,447	)

In 2009, the Company incurred employee termination costs of $1.4 million for severance and related benefits payable to the approximately 50 employees terminated as a result of the closure of its Mississauga, Ontario research and development facility and the consolidation of its previous Chantilly, Virginia research and development operations. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.5 million related to the write-down of the carrying value of the equipment and leasehold improvements located at the Mississauga facility to their estimated fair value. The Company also recognized $1.6 million of accelerated depreciation arising from the reduced useful life of the leasehold improvements located at the Chantilly facility, and incurred lease termination costs of $1.4 million as a result of vacating one of its premises in Chantilly in 2009.

In addition, in 2009, the Company completed the sale of its Dublin, Ireland research and development facility for net cash proceeds of $5.2 million, which resulted in a write-down of $9.9 million to the carrying value of this facility.

Corporate Headquarters

On November 4, 2009, the Company completed the sale and leaseback of its corporate headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario for net proceeds of $17.8 million. The Company recognized a loss on disposal of $11.0 million. In June 2011, the Company vacated this facility. Refer to above under "Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives — Contract Termination, Facility Closure and Other Costs", for further discussion.

7.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following fair value hierarchy table presents the components and classification of the Company's financial assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:

			2011										2010
			Carrying Value			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)			Carrying Value			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
	Money market funds		$	27,711		$	27,711	$	—	$	—		$	91,448		$	91,448	$	—	$	—
	Available-for-sale equity securities			3,364			3,364		—		—			—			—		—		—
	Available-for-sale debt securities:

		Government-sponsored enterprise securities		—			—		—		—			1,826			—		1,826		—
Total financial assets			$	34,049		$	34,049	$	—	$	—		$	99,614		$	91,448	$	8,166	$	—
Cash equivalents			$	27,711		$	27,711	$	—	$	—		$	91,448		$	91,448	$	—	$	—
Marketable securities				6,338			6,338		—		—			8,166			—		8,166		—
Total financial assets			$	34,049		$	34,049	$	—	$	—		$	99,614		$	91,448	$	8,166	$	—
Liabilities:
	Acquisition-related contingent consideration		$	(420,084	)	$	—	$	—	$	(420,084	)	$	(20,220	)	$	—	$	—	$	(20,220	)

Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:

•

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

•

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

The fair value measurement of contingent consideration obligations arising from business combinations is determined using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These inputs include (i) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows; (ii) the probability of the achievement of the factor(s) on which the contingency is based; and (iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company's marketable securities portfolio included $26.8 million of principal invested in nine individual auction rate securities, which had an estimated fair value of $6.0 million at that date. In May 2009, the Company had received $22.0 million in a settlement with an investment bank in respect of these securities, and retained ownership of the securities under the terms of the settlement. In August 2010, the Company disposed of these securities for cash proceeds of $1.4 million.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

As of December 31, 2011, the Company's assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition included intangible assets related to the IDP-111 and 5-FU products classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to note 4 for additional information. The Company recognized impairment charges in 2011 of $7.9 million and $19.8 million for IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively. The adjusted carrying amounts of $54.4 million and $14.8 million for IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively, are equal to estimated fair value, less costs to sell, which was based on observable market prices and represents Level 2 inputs.

Also, the Company recognized impairment charges on IPR&D assets of $105.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010 described above under note 3, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 dermatology programs. The adjusted carrying amounts of $12.6 million, in the aggregate, for these assets are equal to their estimated fair value, which was determined using discounted cash flows and represents Level 3 inputs. For further information, see note 12 titled "INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL".

In addition, the Company's assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include a property in Warsaw, Poland, which is classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value less costs to sell of this property is $3.1 million as of December 31, 2011 based on observed prices for comparable market transactions, which represent Level 2 inputs. The Company recognized impairment charges in 2011 of $0.6 million on this property.

All marketable debt securities held as of December 31, 2011 mature within one year. Gross gains and losses realized on the sale of marketable debt securities were not material in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009.

9.     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The components of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	2011			2010
Trade	$	480,867		$	240,712
Less allowance for doubtful accounts		(12,328	)		(6,692	)
		468,539			234,020
Royalties		21,774			16,424
Other		78,955			24,375
	$	569,268		$	274,819

The increase in accounts receivable primarily reflects the addition of PharmaSwiss', Sanitas', Dermik's, Ortho Dermatologics', iNova's and Afexa's revenues from products and services in 2011, as well as revenue growth of the existing business, and the receivable from ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P. ("ValueAct") related to withholding taxes on the March 2011 share repurchase.

10.   INVENTORIES

The components of inventories as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	2011			2010
Raw materials	$	63,368		$	55,486
Work in process		64,108			43,587
Finished goods		250,555			158,574
		378,031			257,647
Less allowance for obsolescence		(22,819	)		(28,065	)
	$	355,212		$	229,582

The increase in inventories primarily reflect the acquisition of PharmaSwiss', Sanitas', Dermik's, Ortho Dermatologics', iNova's, and Afexa's inventories, which were initially recorded at fair value (as described in note 3). In the year ended December 31, 2011, cost of goods sold includes $51.3 million of acquisition accounting adjustments on the Valeant, PharmaSwiss and Sanitas inventories that were sold in 2011. As of December 31, 2011, substantially all of the acquisition accounting adjustments related to Valeant, PharmaSwiss and Sanitas inventories had been recognized in cost of goods sold.

In the year ended December 31, 2010, cost of goods sold includes $53.3 million of acquisition accounting adjustments on the Valeant's inventory that was sold subsequent to the Merger Date.

In the year ended December 31, 2011, the decline in the allowance for obsolescence primarily reflected the write off of obsolete inventory against the allowance.

Less accumulated depreciation		(125,792	)		(122,711	)
	$	414,242		$	281,752

The increase in the gross carrying value primarily reflects the acquisition of Sanitas', PharmaSwiss', Dermik's, iNova's and Afexa's property, plant and equipment, which were recorded at fair value (as described in note 3), partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange.

Depreciation expense amounted to $45.6 million, $23.9 million and $18.8 million in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

12.   INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

(1)

As described in note 4, in connection with the divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU, the Company reclassified from intangible assets $54.4 million and $14.8 million of carrying value related to these products, respectively, to assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. In addition, the Company recognized $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively, in Amortization of intangible assets in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011.

As described in note 5, in December 2011, ezogabine/retigabine received scheduling as a controlled substance, which triggered the reclassification of $797.7 million of IPR&D to a finite-lived product brand intangible asset, to be amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years. Also, the Company recognized impairment charges on IPR&D assets of $105.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs (U.S. Neurology and Other segment) acquired as part of the Aton

acquisition in 2010 described above under note 3, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 programs (U.S. Dermatology segment). The impairment charges were triggered in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to unfavorable study results, feedback received from the FDA which would result in the incurrence of higher costs to perform additional studies, reassessment of risk and the probability of success, and/or pipeline prioritization decisions resulting in the re-allocation of Company resources to other research and development programs. The impairment charges on IPR&D assets were recorded in Acquired in-process research and development expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The increase in intangible assets primarily reflects the acquisition of the PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Elidel® and Xerese®, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, Afexa and iNova identifiable intangible assets (as described in note 3) and the rights to Zovirax® (as described in note 4), partially offset by the impact of the measurement period adjustments in connection with the Merger (as described in note 3), the impact of foreign currency exchange, the write-off of IPR&D assets described above, the carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets expensed on the out-license of the product rights and the reclassification from intangible assets of the carrying values of IDP-111 and 5-FU to assets held for sale as described above.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, amortization expense related to intangible assets was recorded as follows:

	2011		2010		2009
Alliance and royalty revenue	$	1,072	$	1,072	$	1,072
Cost of goods sold		8,103		8,103		8,103

	$	566,989	$	228,933	$	113,905

Estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years ending December 31 is as follows:

	2012		2013		2014		2015		2016
Amortization expense	$	799,318	$	801,101	$	791,634	$	772,828	$	772,595

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On October 20, 2011, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement entered into on August 10, 2011. The Credit Agreement provides for a $275 million revolving credit facility, including a sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and a sublimit for swing line loans (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), and a $1.725 billion senior secured term loan A facility (the "New Term Loan A Facility"), which includes a $500 million delayed draw term loan facility (the "Delayed Draw Facility"). The Credit Agreement also contains an uncommitted incremental facility, pursuant to which one or more existing lenders or other lenders, at their sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, may provide up to an additional $500.0 million in term loans or revolving loans. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and does not amortize. The New Term Loan A Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and amortizes quarterly commencing March 31, 2012 at an initial annual rate of 5.0%. The amortization schedule under the New Term Loan A Facility will increase to 10.0% annually commencing March 31, 2013 and 20% annually commencing March 31, 2014, payable in quarterly installments. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred approximately $43.7 million in fees, of which $13.4 million and $30.3 million are recognized as deferred debt issuance costs and debt issue discount, respectively, and amortized over the term of the agreement.

On December 19, 2011, under the New Term Loan A Facility, the Company syndicated $500.0 million of incremental term loans (the "Incremental Term Loans" and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term Loan A Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") in connection with its acquisition of iNova. The Incremental Term Loans mature in April 2016 and have terms that are consistent with the Company's New Term Loan A Facility. In connection with a syndication of the Incremental Term Loans, the Company incurred approximately $10.8 million in fees, of which $0.3 million and $10.5 million are recognized as deferred debt issuance costs and debt issue discount, respectively and amortized over the term of the agreement.

As of December 31, 2011, $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount in revolving loans was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $2,185.5 million in term loans was outstanding under the New Term Loan A Facility.

The loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may be made to, and the letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility may be issued on behalf of, the Company. All borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default or an event of default and the accuracy in all material respects of representations and warranties.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest quoted in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section, as the Prime Rate (currently defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's thirty largest banks) and (2) the federal funds effective rate plus ¹/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBO rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to LIBO rate borrowings. Interest rates are subject to increase or decrease quarterly based on leverage ratios. As of December 31, 2011, the effective rate of interest on the Company's borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term Loan A Facility was 4.1% and 3.2%, respectively.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company is required to pay commitment fees of 0.50% per annum in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears and 0.50% per annum in respect of the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under the Delayed Draw Facility. The Company also is required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable margin on LIBO rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit and agency fees.

Subject to certain exceptions and customary baskets set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities under certain circumstances, including from (1) 100% of net cash proceeds from asset sales outside the ordinary course of business (subject to reinvestment rights), (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds of insurance and condemnation proceeds for property or asset losses (subject to reinvestment rights and net proceeds threshold), (3) 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of equity securities subject to decrease based on leverage ratios, (4) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the incurrence of debt (other than permitted debt as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (5) 50% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) subject to decrease based on leverage ratios.

The Company is permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the revolving commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBO rate loans.

The Company's obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as well as certain hedging arrangements and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or affiliates thereof), are guaranteed by Valeant, Biovail International, S.à r.l. and PharmaSwiss, and other subsidiaries that are guarantors under Valeant's indentures.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company's ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; enter into agreements and other arrangements that include negative pledge clauses; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by subsidiaries; make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; merge, amalgamate or sell assets, including equity interests of the subsidiaries; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into new lines of business; and enter into amendments of or waivers under subordinated indebtedness, organizational documents and certain other material agreements.

The Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a secured leverage ratio not to exceed 1.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011 through and including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012 and not to exceed 1.50 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013. The Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default, as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Term Loan A Facility

On September 27, 2010, Valeant and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Old Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lending institutions, consisting of (1) a four-and-one-half-year non-amortizing $125.0 million revolving credit facility, (2) a five-year amortizing $1.0 billion term loan A facility (the "Term Loan A Facility"), and (3) a six-year amortizing $1.625 billion term loan B facility (the "Term Loan B Facility"). Effective November 29, 2010, the Term Loan B Facility was prepaid in full. Effective March 8, 2011, Valeant terminated the Old Credit Agreement, using a portion of the net proceeds from the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes offering (as described below) to prepay the amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and cancel the undrawn revolving credit facility.

forth in the 2021 Notes indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption of the 2021 Notes.

4.0% Convertible Notes

As described in note 3, in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed $225.0 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of Valeant's 4.0% Convertible Notes. Interest on the 4.0% Convertible Notes was payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 4.0% Convertible Notes were scheduled to mature on November 15, 2013. Valeant had the right to redeem the 4.0% Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at their principal amount on or after May 20, 2011. The 4.0% Convertible Notes were convertible into common shares of the Company at a current conversion rate of 79.0667 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which represents a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share), reflecting an adjustment to account for the pre-Merger special dividend, the exchange ratio for the Merger and the post-Merger special dividend.

The fair value of $220.5 million allocated to the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, as of the Merger Date, was being accreted to the face value of the 4.0% Convertible Notes through the debt maturity date of November 15, 2013, using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate on the liability component of the 4% Convertible Notes was 4.62%. The accretion of the liability component was recognized as an additional non-cash interest expense.

On April 20, 2011, the Company distributed a notice of redemption to holders of Valeant's 4.0% Convertible Notes, pursuant to which all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes would be redeemed on May 20, 2011 (the "Redemption Date"), at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The 4.0% Convertible Notes called for redemption could be converted at the election of the holders at any time before the close of business on May 19, 2011. Consequently, all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share.

Immediately prior to settlement, the carrying amount of the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes was $221.3 million and the estimated fair value of the liability component was $226.0 million. The difference of $4.7 million between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the liability component was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. The difference of $666.0 million between the estimated fair value of the liability component of $226.0 million and the aggregate fair value of the common shares issued to effect the settlement of $892.0 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $226.0 million and $440.0 million, respectively.

With respect to Valeant's call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, these agreements consisted of purchased call options on 15,813,338 common shares, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of shares, which matured on August 18, 2011. As of the Merger Date, these call options were to be settled in common shares of the Company. In June 2011, 11,479,365 common shares were received on the net-share settlement of the purchased call options, which common shares were subsequently cancelled.

In September 2011, Valeant amended the written call option agreements so that Valeant could elect to settle all or some of the written call options in cash. In the third quarter of 2011, Valeant paid $66.9 million in cash and issued 7,518,595 of its common shares on a net-share basis to settle the written call options. In October 2011, 961,461 common shares were issued on a net-share basis to complete the settlement of the written call options.

5.375% Convertible Notes

On June 10, 2009, the Company issued $350.0 million principal amount of 5.375% senior convertible notes due August 1, 2014 (the "5.375% Convertible Notes" and, together with the 4.0% Convertible Notes, the "Convertible Notes"). The 5.375% Convertible Notes mature on August 1, 2014. The 5.375% Convertible Notes were issued at par and pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 5.375% Convertible Notes may be converted based on a current conversion rate of 69.6943 common shares of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents a conversion price of approximately $14.35 per share. The conversion rate will be adjusted if the Company makes specified types of distributions or enters into certain other transactions in respect of its common shares. In addition, following certain corporate transactions that occur prior to maturity, the conversion rate will be increased for holders who elect to convert their holdings in connection with such corporate transactions.

The 5.375% Convertible Notes are convertible at any time prior to the maturity date under the following circumstances:

•

during any calendar quarter if the closing price of the Company's common shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect during a defined period at the end of the previous quarter;

•

during a defined period if the trading price of the 5.375% Convertible Notes falls below specified thresholds for a defined trading period;

•

if the 5.375% Convertible Notes have been called for redemption;

•

upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; or

•

25 trading days prior to the maturity date.

Upon conversion, the 5.375% Convertible Notes may be settled in cash, common shares, or a combination of cash and common shares, at the Company's option. The Company's current intent is to settle the 5.375% Convertible Notes using a net share settlement approach, such that the principal amount of any 5.375% Convertible Notes tendered for conversion would be settled in cash, and any excess conversion value settled in common shares.

The Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes at any time on or after August 2, 2012, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if during a defined period the closing price of the Company's common shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect. The Company may not otherwise redeem any of the 5.375% Convertible Notes at its option prior to maturity, except upon the occurrence of certain changes to the laws governing Canadian withholding taxes. Holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their holdings at 100% of the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of a specified fundamental change (such as a change of control).

At the date of issuance, the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes was allocated into a liability component and an equity component. The liability component was fair valued at $293.3 million, based on a 9.5% market rate of interest for similar debt with no conversion rights. The value allocated to the liability component is being accreted to the face value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes over the five-year period prior to maturity, using the effective interest method. The accretion of the liability component is being recognized as additional non-cash interest expense. The difference between the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes and the value allocated to the liability component of $56.7 million was recorded in additional paid-in capital in shareholders' equity, as the carrying amount of the equity component.

In connection with the issuance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, the Company incurred financing costs of $16.5 million, which were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the preceding allocation of the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes.

Outside of the U.S., a limited group of Valeant employees are covered by defined benefit retirement and post-employment plans. The Company assumed all of Valeant's defined benefit obligations and related plan assets in connection with the Merger. The Company contributed $1.0 million and $1.4 million to these plans in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the projected benefit obligation of these plans totaled $8.0 million, which exceeded the fair value of plan assets of $1.6 million by $6.4 million. The Company has recognized the under-funded financial position of these plans in accrued liabilities ($0.3 million) and other long-term liabilities ($6.1 million) as of December 31, 2011. The net periodic benefit cost of these plans amounted to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(1)

On March 9, 2011, the Company's compensation committee of the board of directors approved an equitable adjustment to all stock options outstanding as of that date for employees and directors as of such date, in connection with the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share declared on November 4, 2010 and paid on December 22, 2010. As the Company's stock option awards do not automatically adjust for dividend payments, this adjustment was treated as a modification of the terms and conditions of the outstanding options. The incremental fair value of the modified awards was determined to be $15.4 million, of which $9.2 million related to vested options, which was expensed as of March 9, 2011 as follows: cost of goods sold ($0.2 million), selling, general and administrative expenses ($8.8 million) and research and development expenses ($0.2 million). The remaining $6.2 million is being recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the unvested options.



(2)

Includes the excess of the fair value of Biovail stock options and time-based RSUs over the fair value of the vested and partially vested Valeant stock options and time-based RSUs of $20.9 million (as described in note 3), which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation expense and allocated as follows: cost of goods sold ($0.4 million), research and development expenses ($0.4 million), and selling, general and administrative expenses ($20.1 million).

The Company recognized $26.5 million of tax benefits from stock options exercised in the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company did not recognize any tax benefits for the share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.

Treatment of Biovail Stock Options and RSUs Following the Merger

In accordance with the Merger agreement, each unvested stock option and time-based RSU award held by Biovail employees with employment agreements accelerated and became 100% vested upon involuntary termination following the Merger. As of the Merger Date, the Company calculated incremental compensation expense of $9.6 million to reflect an increase in the fair value of the stock options and time-based RSUs held by Biovail employees with employment agreements due to the acceleration of the vesting condition. This amount was recognized over the requisite service period of the terminated employees, which ended prior to December 31, 2010.

Unvested stock option awards held by Biovail employees without employment agreements are forfeited if the employee is involuntarily terminated following the Merger. As of the Merger Date, the Company reversed $0.5 million of previously recognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options held by terminated employees without employment agreements. Unvested time-based RSU awards held by such Biovail employees vest on a pro-rata basis if the employee is involuntarily terminated following the Merger. Accordingly, no additional compensation expense related to the pro-rata vesting of time-based RSUs was required to be recognized by the Company post-Merger.

Prior to the completion of the Merger, the board of directors of Biovail resolved that each performance-based RSU award held by Biovail executive officers and selected employees would immediately accelerate and become 100% vested on the Merger Date. The number of such performance-based RSUs to be settled would be determined based on Biovail's performance through the Merger Date. Based on such performance, each performance-based RSU vested upon the closing of the Merger at 200% of target. As of the Merger Date, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of $20.3 million to reflect an increase in the fair value of the performance-based RSUs due to the acceleration of the vesting condition. The common shares of the Company underlying the performance-based RSUs were delivered, net of income tax withholdings, to the applicable employees within 60 days of the Merger Date.

Treatment of Valeant Continuing Stock Options and RSUs Following the Merger

As of the Merger Date, the Company recorded compensation expense of $20.1 million to reflect the acceleration of the vesting term related to stock options and RSUs held by former executive officers of Valeant.

Upon the closing of the Merger, each outstanding Valeant stock option and RSU that did not provide for vesting was converted into an option or RSU to acquire or receive common shares of the Company, after taking account of the pre-Merger special dividend and the exchange ratio for the Merger, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the stock option or RSU prior to the Merger. Valeant stock option grants generally vested ratably over a four-year period from the date of grant and had a term not exceeding 10 years. Valeant RSU grants vested based on the satisfaction of service conditions or on both service conditions and either the achievement of certain stock price appreciation conditions or the achievement of certain strategic initiatives.

In total, 12,464,417 Biovail stock options were issued to replace Valeant stock options, and respectively 2,217,003 and 1,211,833 time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs of Biovail were issued to replace equivalent awards of Valeant. As described in note 3, the fair values of the vested portions of the Valeant stock options and Valeant RSUs were recognized as components of the purchase price or immediately as compensation expense as of the Merger Date. The following table summarizes, as of the Merger Date, the compensation cost and weighted-average service periods related to the unvested portions of the Valeant stock options and RSUs:

Stock Options

With the exception of Biovail stock options issued to replace Valeant stock options in connection with the Merger, all stock options granted by the Company under its 2007 Equity Compensation Plan expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price of any stock option granted under its 2007 Equity Compensation Plan is not to be less than the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant (or, for participants subject to U.S. taxation, on the single trading day immediately preceding the date of grant, whichever is greater). All stock options granted by the Company under the 2011 Plan expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price of any stock option granted under the 2011 Plan will not be less than the closing price per common share on the national securities exchange on which the common shares are principally traded (currently, the NYSE) for the last preceding date on which there was a sale of such common shares on such exchange. Prior to the Merger, stock option grants typically vested ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the stock option grant. Following the Merger, stock options granted will vest 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries from the date of grant.

The fair values of all stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

17.   SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model used by the Company to calculate stock option values was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradeable, fully transferable stock options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock option awards. This model also requires highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	Options (000s)			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, January 1, 2011		12,203		$	11.99
Granted		1,294			47.83
Equitable adjustment		380			11.00

Vested and exercisable, December 31, 2011		4,484		$	7.42		5.4	$	176,061

The weighted-average fair values of all stock options granted in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $13.65, $5.46 and $0.92, respectively. The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $31.7 million, $28.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Proceeds received on the exercise of stock options in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $41.7 million, $58.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options amounted to $48.4 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.8 years. The total fair value of stock options vested in 2011 was $35.4 million (2010 — $39.1 million; 2009 — $3.1 million).

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2011:

RSUs

With the exception of Biovail RSUs issued to replace Valeant RSUs in connection with the Merger, RSUs vest on the third anniversary date from the date of grant, unless provided otherwise in the applicable unit agreement, subject to the attainment of any applicable performance goals specified by the board of directors. If the vesting of the RSUs is conditional upon the attainment of performance goals, any RSUs that do not vest as a result of a determination that a holder of RSUs has failed to attain the prescribed performance goals will be forfeited immediately upon such determination. RSUs are credited with dividend equivalents, in the form of additional RSUs, when dividends are paid on the Company's common shares. Such additional RSUs will have the same vesting dates and will vest under the same terms as the RSUs in respect of which such additional RSUs are credited.

17.   SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

To the extent provided for in an RSU agreement, the Company may, in lieu of all or a portion of the common shares which would otherwise be provided to a holder, elect to pay a cash amount equivalent to the market price of the Company's common shares on the vesting date for each vested RSU. The amount of cash payment will be determined based on the average market price of the Company's common shares on the vesting date. The Company's current intent is to settle vested RSUs through the issuance of common shares.

Time-Based RSUs

Each vested RSU without performance goals ("time-based RSU") represents the right of a holder to receive one of the Company's common shares. The fair value of each RSU granted is estimated based on the trading price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes non-vested time-based RSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	Time-Based RSUs (000s)			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested, January 1, 2011		2,213		$	24.61
Granted		425			44.96
Vested		(672	)		24.14
Forfeited		(137	)		25.15
Non-vested, December 31, 2011		1,829		$	29.47

As of December 31, 2011, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested time-based RSUs amounted to $25.4 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.5 years. The total fair value of time-based RSUs vested in 2011 was $16.2 million (2010 — $11.6 million; 2009 — $0.1 million).

Performance-Based RSUs

Each vested RSU with performance goals ("performance-based RSU") represents the right of a holder to receive a number of the Company's common shares up to a specified maximum. For performance-based RSUs issued prior to the Merger, performance was measured based on shareholder return relative to an industry comparator group. For performance-based RSUs issued subsequent to the Merger, performance is determined based on the achievement of certain share price appreciation conditions. If the Company's performance is below a specified performance level, no common shares will be paid.

The fair value of each performance-based RSU granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved. The fair values of performance-based RSUs granted prior to the Merger were estimated with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	2010			2009
Contractual term (years)		5.0			5.0
Expected Company share volatility(1)		43.2	%		44.0	%
Average comparator group share price volatility(1)		34.7	%		35.9	%
Risk-free interest rate(2)		2.4	%		3.1	%

Determined based on historical volatility over the contractual term of the performance-based RSU.



(2)

Determined based on the rate at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. government bonds with maturity dates equal to the contractual term of the performance-based RSUs.

The fair values of performance-based RSUs granted in the year ended December 31, 2011 and in the post-Merger period ended December 31, 2010 were estimated with the following assumptions:

	2011	2010
Contractual term (years)	3.0	4.1-4.6
Expected Company share volatility(1)	34.6% - 60.8%	32.4% - 33.2%

	Performance- Based RSUs (000s)			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Forfeited		(82	)		17.82
Non-vested, December 31, 2011		2,060		$	31.24

As of December 31, 2011, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested performance-based RSUs amounted to $36.6 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.7 years. A maximum of 4,286,640 common shares could be issued upon vesting of the performance-based RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2011.

DSUs

Prior to May 2011, non-management directors received non-cash compensation in the form of DSUs, which entitled non-management directors to receive a lump-sum cash payment in respect of their DSUs either following the date upon which they cease to be a director of the Company or, with respect to DSUs granted after the Merger Date as part of the annual retainer, one year after such date. The amount of compensation deferred was converted into DSUs based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant (for directors subject to taxation, the calculation may be based on the greater of the five-day or one-day volume-weighted trading price). The Company recognizes compensation expense throughout the deferral period to the extent that the trading price of its common shares increases, and reduces compensation expense throughout the deferral period to the extent that the trading price of its common shares decreases.

Following the Merger, the DSUs previously granted to non-management directors who did not remain on the board of directors of the Company will be redeemed, entitling each departing director to a payment of the cash value of his DSUs. Prior to December 31, 2010, cash payments of $2.3 million were made to settle 84,888 of such DSUs, with another 218,123 of such DSUs valued at $6.2 million remaining to be settled.

Effective May 16, 2011 (the "Modification Date"), the board of directors of the Company modified the existing DSUs held by current directors from units settled in cash to units settled in common shares, which changed these DSUs from a liability award to an equity award. Accordingly, as of the Modification Date, the Company reclassified the $9.3 million aggregate fair value of the 182,053 DSUs held by current directors from accrued liabilities to additional paid-in capital. In the period from January 1, 2011 to the Modification Date, the Company recorded $3.6 million of compensation expense related to the change in the fair value of the DSUs held by current directors. As the modified DSUs were fully vested, no additional compensation expense will be recognized after the Modification Date. The DSUs held by former directors of Biovail were not affected by the modification and will continue to be cash settled. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $0.8 million of compensation expense in restructuring and integration costs related

to the change in the fair value of DSUs still held by former directors of Biovail. As of December 31, 2011, there were 17,219 DSUs still held by former directors of Biovail.

The Company recorded compensation expense related to DSUs of $8.5 million and $2.5 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the Company recognized liabilities related to its DSU plans of $11.5 million based on the trading price of the Company's common shares at those dates.

The following table summarizes DSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	DSUs (000s)			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Outstanding, December 31, 2011		148		$	16.78

Effective May 16, 2011, in lieu of grants of DSUs, unless the Company determines otherwise, non-management directors will receive their annual equity compensation retainer in the form of stock units, which will vest immediately upon grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company on the first anniversary of the date upon which the director ceases to be a director of the Company. In addition, a non-management director may elect to receive some or all of his or her cash retainers in additional units, which will be vested upon grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company when the director ceases to be a director of the Company (unless a different payment is elected in accordance with the procedures established by the Company).

In connection with the issuance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes in June 2009 (as described in note 14), the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of $14.6 million for the original basis difference between the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes and the value allocated to the liability component, which resulted in a corresponding reduction to the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. The recognition of the deferred tax liability and the corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance were recorded as offsetting adjustments to additional paid-in capital. In the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the deferred tax benefit recognized in earnings as the debt discount was amortized or extinguished was offset by the deferred tax expense related to the corresponding realization of the deferred tax assets.

In 2011 and 2010, the repurchase of $205.0 million and $126.3 million principal amount of the U.S. dollar-denominated 5.375% Convertible Notes, respectively, resulted in a foreign exchange gain for Canadian income tax purposes of approximately $24.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively. The payment of the remaining balance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes will likely result in a foreign exchange gain or loss for Canadian income tax purposes. The amount of this gain or loss will depend on the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar at the time the 5.375% Convertible Notes are paid. As of December 31, 2011, the unrealized foreign exchange gain on the translation of the remaining principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes to Canadian dollars for Canadian income tax purposes was approximately $1.6 million.

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient domestic and foreign taxable income in the years that the temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance has been provided for the portion of the deferred tax assets that the Company determined is more likely than not to remain unrealized based on estimated future taxable income and tax planning strategies. In 2011, the valuation allowance decreased by $57.7 million. The net decrease in valuation allowance resulted from the Company's decision to write off U.S. federal and state net operating losses which were limited as a result of the Merger ($64.1 million decrease in the valuation allowance), offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for Canadian tax loss carryforwards of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The net increase of $32.4 million in valuation allowance for 2010 resulted from the limitation on the Company's use of U.S. federal and state net operating losses resulting from the Merger ($45.5 million increase in the valuation allowance), and the impact of foreign exchange rates on the reported value in U.S. dollars of Canadian tax loss carryforwards, Investment Tax Credits ("ITCs"), and pooled Scientific Research and Experimental Development ("SR&ED") expenditures ($33.8 million increase in the valuation allowance) offset by the partial recognition of future benefits of Canadian tax loss carryforwards, ITCs, and pooled SR&ED expenditures of $46.9 million recognized to the extent of deferred tax liabilities arising from the Merger. Given the Company's history of pre-tax losses and expected future losses in Canada, the Company determined there was

insufficient objective evidence to release the remaining valuation allowance against Canadian tax loss carryforwards, ITCs and pooled SR&ED expenditures.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had accumulated losses of approximately $318.1 million (2010 — $154.8 million) available for federal and provincial tax purposes in Canada. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $62.8 million (2010 — $66.2 million) of unclaimed Canadian ITCs and U.S. research and development credits, which expire from 2020 to 2030. These losses and ITCs can be used to offset future years' taxable income and federal tax, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company had pooled SR&ED expenditures amounting to approximately $248.3 million (2010 — $282.9 million) available to offset against future years' taxable income from its Canadian operations, which may be carried forward indefinitely. The valuation allowance against the Canadian deferred tax assets is $124.6 million (2010 — $118.2 million).

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has accumulated tax losses of approximately $512.1 million (2010 — $672.6 million) for federal purposes in the U.S., including pre-acquisition losses arising from the Merger of $332.2 million, which expire from 2021 to 2028 of which $185.9 million of the NOLs are subject to annual loss limitation restrictions. In 2010 a valuation allowance of $68.2 million had been provided on U.S. federal and state losses. However, management has determined the losses subject to limitation restrictions should be written off and the corresponding valuation allowance reversed as of December 31, 2011. The Company's accumulated losses are subject to annual limitations as a result of previous ownership changes that have occurred. Included in the $512.1 million of tax losses is approximately $13.5 million of losses related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards.

The Company accrues for U.S. tax on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that are owned by the Company's U.S. subsidiaries. Prior to the Merger, the Company asserted that the unremitted earnings of its Barbados subsidiaries would be permanently reinvested. The Company discontinued making this assertion as of December 31, 2010, but such change did not affect the Company's deferred tax liabilities since the Barbados earnings can be repatriated to Canada without incurring additional tax. The Company continues to assert that the unremitted earnings of its U.S. subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested and not repatriated to Canada. As of December 31, 2011 the Company estimates there would be no Canadian tax liability attributable to the permanently reinvested U.S. earnings.

As of December 31, 2011, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) was $102.3 million (2010 — $110.9 million), of which $67.3 million (2010 — $75.9 million) would affect the effective tax rate. In the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a $2.7 million (2010 — $10.1 million) increase and a $11.3 million (2010 — $15.6 million) net decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in the current and prior years, respectively, which have resulted in a corresponding decrease to current tax expense.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2011, approximately $23.0 million (2010 — $20.5 million) was accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. In the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $2.5 million (2010 — $3.4 million) in interest and penalties.

The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries file federal income tax returns in Canada, the U.S., Barbados, and other foreign jurisdictions, as well as various provinces and states in Canada and the U.S. The Company and its subsidiaries have open tax years primarily from 1996 to 2010 with significant taxing jurisdictions including Barbados, Canada, and the U.S. These open years contain certain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations, and tax treaties, as they relate to the amount, timing, or inclusion of revenues and expenses, or the sustainability of income tax positions of the Company and its subsidiaries. Certain of these tax years are expected to remain open indefinitely.

In 2011, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") closed their examination of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International's consolidated tax returns for the 2007 and 2008 tax years as well as Biovail Americas Corporation consolidated federal income tax return for the 2009 tax year. The Valeant Pharmaceuticals International consolidated federal income tax return is currently under examination by the IRS for the 2009 tax year. Additionally, the Company has been informed that the Valeant Pharmaceuticals International consolidated return for the 2010 short tax year and the Biovail Americas Corporation consolidated federal return for the 2010 tax year will be under examination. In 2011, the Canadian Revenue Agency ("CRA") continued its audit of the Company's Canadian income tax returns for tax years 2005 to 2008, and claims for SR&ED expenditures and related ITCs for the 2006 and 2007 taxation years. The CRA has made proposals for audit adjustments to the Company for its examinations of tax years 2003 to 2004 and 2005 to 2006. The Company has reviewed the proposed adjustments and is assessing our response. While the matters have not been settled, the Company continues to maintain a liability for uncertain tax positions on these proposed adjustments. As a result of audits and statutes of limitation the Company estimates that up to $10.0 million of its uncertain tax positions may be realized.

21.   INCOME TAXES (Continued)

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits:

	2011			2010		2009
Balance, beginning of year	$	110,857		$	66,200	$	63,700
Acquisition of Valeant		—			18,916		—
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		2,701			10,133		1,000
Additions for tax positions of prior years		—			15,608		3,400
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(11,268	)		—		(1,900	)
Balance, end of year	$	102,290		$	110,857	$	66,200

The Company does not expect any significant change to the above unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.

Certain unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded as a reduction of deferred tax assets.

22.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were calculated as follows:

	2011		2010			2009
Net income (loss)	$	159,559	$	(208,193	)	$	176,455
Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (000s)		304,655		195,808			158,236
Dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs (000s)		8,484		—			274
Dilutive effect of convertible debt (000s)		12,980		—			—
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (000s)		326,119		195,808			158,510
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.52	$	(1.06	)	$	1.11
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.49	$	(1.06	)	$	1.11

In 2010, all stock options, RSUs and Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive, as it would have reduced the loss per share. The potential dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and Convertible Notes on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was as follows:

	2010
Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (000s)		195,808
Dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs (000s)		2,774
Dilutive effect of Convertible Notes (000s)		6,947
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (000s)		205,529

As the Company's intent and policy is to settle the Convertible Notes using a net share settlement approach, only the common shares potentially issuable with respect to the excess conversion value of the Convertible Notes over their principal amount were considered as dilutive potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. In 2009, the average conversion value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes was less than the related principal amount, and, accordingly, no common shares were assumed to be issued for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

In 2011, 2010 and 2009, stock options to purchase approximately 271,000, 1,465,000 and 2,950,000 weighted-average common shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the Company's common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

23.   SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES

Interest and income taxes paid during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

	2011		2010		2009
Interest paid	$	247,879	$	37,719	$	4,182
Income taxes paid		45,399		26,300		12,139

24.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company becomes involved in various legal and administrative proceedings, which include product liability, intellectual property, antitrust, governmental and regulatory investigations, and related private litigation. There are also ordinary course employment-related issues and other types of claims in which the Company routinely becomes involved, but which individually and collectively are not material.

Unless otherwise indicated, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these legal proceedings, nor can it estimate the amount of loss, or range of loss, if any, that may result from these proceedings. An adverse outcome in certain of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, and could cause the market value of its common shares to decline.

From time to time, the Company also initiates actions or files counterclaims. The Company could be subject to counterclaims or other suits in response to actions it may initiate. The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these proceedings, some of which may involve significant legal fees. The Company believes that the prosecution of these actions and counterclaims is important to preserve and protect the Company, its reputation and its assets.

Governmental and Regulatory Inquiries

On May 16, 2008, Biovail Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Company's former subsidiary, entered into a written plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office ("USAO") for the District of Massachusetts whereby it agreed to plead guilty to violating the U.S. Anti-Kickback Statute and pay a fine of $22.2 million.

In addition, on May 16, 2008, the Company entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the USAO whereby the USAO agreed to decline prosecution of Biovail in exchange for continuing cooperation and a civil settlement agreement and pay a civil penalty of $2.4 million. A hearing before the U.S. District Court in Boston took place on September 14, 2009 and the plea was approved.

In addition, as part of the overall settlement, Biovail entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement ("CIA") with the Office of the Inspector General and the Department of Health and Human Services on September 11, 2009. The CIA requires Biovail to have a compliance program in place and to undertake a set of defined corporate integrity obligations for a five-year term. The CIA also includes requirements for an annual independent review of these obligations. Failure to comply with the obligations under the CIA could result in financial penalties.

Antitrust

On April 4, 2008, a direct purchaser plaintiff filed a class action antitrust complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Biovail, GlaxoSmithKline plc, and SmithKline Beecham Inc. (the latter two of which are referred to here as "GSK") seeking damages and alleging that Biovail and GSK took actions to improperly delay FDA approval for generic forms of Wellbutrin XL®. The direct purchaser plaintiff in the Massachusetts federal court lawsuit voluntarily dismissed its complaint on May 27, 2008, and shortly thereafter re-filed a virtually identical complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In late May and early June 2008, additional direct and indirect purchaser class actions were also filed against Biovail and GSK in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, all making similar allegations. These complaints have now been consolidated, resulting in a lead direct purchaser and a lead indirect purchaser action.

On September 10, 2008, the Company and GSK filed motions to dismiss both the direct and indirect purchaser actions. Those motions were heard on February 26, 2009. In the direct purchaser case, on March 13, 2009, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motions, dismissing the Sherman Act Section 2 monopolization claim that had been made by the direct purchasers against the Company. The Company and GSK answered the remaining claims in the direct purchaser case on April 16, 2009. On March 26, 2009, before an order issued on the motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' claims, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The pending motions were therefore denied as moot, and new motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' claims were filed on April 30, 2009. On July 30, 2009, the Court dismissed all indirect purchaser claims except the antitrust claims

(limited as to the Company's concerted actions) in California, Nevada, Tennessee and Wisconsin and the consumer protection claims of California and Florida.

On September 14, 2010, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend their complaint to add claims under Illinois's Antitrust Act and New York's Donnelly Act. The Company and GSK opposed the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' motion. On December 21, 2010, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion for leave to amend, permitting indirect purchasers leave to amend their complaint to assert claims under New York's Donnelly Act but not under Illinois's Antitrust Act.

Plaintiffs filed motions for class certification. The Company and GSK opposed the motions. The Court held a hearing on direct purchaser plaintiffs' class certification motion on April 5, 2011, and on indirect purchaser plaintiffs' class certification motion on April 29, 2011 and May 27, 2011. The Court granted in part and denied in part the direct purchaser plaintiffs' motion on August 11, 2011. The Court certified a class consisting of all persons or entities in the United States and its territories who purchased Wellbutrin XL® directly from any of the defendants at any time during the period of November 14, 2005 through August 31, 2009. Excluded from the class are defendants and their officers, directors, management, employees, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and federal government entities. Further excluded from the class are persons or entities who have not purchased generic versions of Wellbutrin XL® during the class period after the introduction of generic versions of Wellbutrin XL®. Defendants petitioned the Third Circuit for immediate appellate review of this order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(f), but the Third Circuit denied the request without comment. The order remains appealable at the conclusion of the district court proceedings.

The Court granted in part and denied in part the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' motion on August 12, 2011. The defendants have moved the district court to reconsider certain aspects of this order, which motion is pending.

Discovery has concluded and motions for summary judgment have been filed by the Defendants. The summary judgment hearing is scheduled to take place on March 20, 2012.

The Company believes that each of these complaints lacks merit and that the Company's challenged actions complied with all applicable laws and regulations, including federal and state antitrust laws, FDA regulations, U.S. patent law and the Hatch-Waxman Act.

Intellectual Property

On January 18, 2010, a Canadian Federal Court judge presiding over Biovail and Depomed, Inc. ("Depomed") v. Apotex Inc. ("Apotex") et al. issued a decision in a proceeding pursuant to the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) ("PMNOC") Regulations in Canada to determine whether Apotex's allegations that a Depomed patent was invalid and/or not infringed was justified. This proceeding related to a Canadian application filed by Apotex to market a generic version of the 500 mg formulation of Glumetza® (extended release metformin hydrochloride tablets) licensed in Canada by Depomed to Biovail Laboratories International SRL, now known as Valeant International (Barbados) SRL ("VIB"). Pursuant to the decision issued by the Court, Health Canada can authorize Apotex to market in Canada its generic version of the 500mg formulation of Glumetza®. The decision, which was amended on January 20, 2010, found under Canadian law that Apotex's allegation was justified that the Depomed Canadian patent at issue in the matter (No. 2,290,624) (the "'624 Patent") is obvious. The judge found that the evidence presented by the parties was "evenly balanced" as to obviousness. The judge found in favor of Biovail and Depomed as to all other issues related to the '624 Patent under Canadian law. Apotex was authorized by Health Canada on February 4, 2010 to market its generic version of 500 mg Glumetza® in Canada. This decision, however, did not find the patent invalid and did not preclude the filing of a subsequent patent infringement suit against Apotex. Biovail and Depomed commenced action for patent infringement against Apotex in Canadian Federal Court on February 8, 2010. Pleadings have now closed, but no further steps have been taken.

On or about June 24, 2010, Biovail and VIB received a Notice of Allegation from Mylan Pharmaceuticals ULC ("Mylan") with respect to Bupropion Hydrochloride 150 mg and 300 mg tablets, marketed in Canada by Biovail as Wellbutrin® XL. The patents in issue are Canadian Patent Nos. 2,142,320, 2,168,364 and 2,524,300. Mylan alleges that its generic form of Wellbutrin® XL does not infringe the patents and, alternatively, that the patents are invalid. Following an evaluation of the allegations in the Notice of Allegation, an application for an order prohibiting the Minister from issuing a Notice of Compliance to Mylan was issued in the Federal Court on August 6, 2010, relating to Canadian Patent Nos. 2,524,300 and 2,168,364. Mylan has now withdrawn its allegations of invalidity. The matter is proceeding in the ordinary course. The parties have exchanged evidence and cross-examinations have taken place. The hearing of the application, which will proceed with respect to Canadian Patent No. 2,168,364, is scheduled to commence on March 26, 2012.

In May 2011, Mylan filed a Statement of Claim in the Federal Court of Canada against the Company, VIB and Valeant Canada seeking to impeach Canadian Patent No. 2,524,300. The parties agreed to discontinue this action, without costs, and a notice of discontinuance was filed with the Federal Court of Canada on August 12, 2011.

On September 12, 2011, Mylan filed a Statement of Claim in the Federal Court of Canada against the Company, VIB and Valeant Canada seeking to impeach Canadian Patent No. 2,168,364. The Company, VIB and Valeant Canada brought a motion to strike the

claim for a declaration of non-infringement or, in the alternative, to stay the action until after the determination of the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) proceeding described above. This motion is scheduled to be heard by the court on March 21, 2012.

On or about January 5, 2010, VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification dated January 4, 2010 from Watson Laboratories, Inc. — Florida ("Watson"), related to Watson's ANDA filing for bupropion hydrobromide extended-release tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg, which correspond to the Company's Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets 174 mg and 348 mg products. Watson asserted that U.S. Patent Nos. 7,241,805, 7,569,610, 7,572,935 and 7,585,897 which are listed in the FDA's Orange Book for Aplenzin® are invalid or not infringed. VIB subsequently received from Watson a second Notice of Paragraph IV Certification for U.S. Patent Nos. 7,645,802 and 7,649,019, which were listed in the FDA's Orange Book after Watson's initial certification. Watson has alleged these patents are invalid or not infringed. VIB filed suit pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act against Watson on February 18, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and on February 19, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, thereby triggering a 30-month stay of the approval of Watson's ANDA. The Delaware action has been dismissed without prejudice and the litigation is proceeding in the Florida Court. VIB received a third Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Watson dated March 5, 2010, seeking to market its products prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,662,407 and 7,671,094. VIB received a fourth Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Watson on April 9, 2010. VIB filed a second Complaint against Watson in Florida Court on the third and fourth Notices on April 16, 2010. The two actions have been consolidated into the first-filed case before the same judge. In the course of discovery the issues have been narrowed and only five of the patents remain in the litigation. Mandatory mediation was completed unsuccessfully on December 17, 2010. The trial in this matter was held in June 2011 and closing arguments were heard in September 2011. A judgment in this matter was issued on November 8, 2011. The Court found that Watson had failed to prove that VIB's patents at suit were invalid and granted judgment in favor of VIB. Watson is appealing the judgment and the appeal is expected to proceed in the ordinary course.

On or about January 27, 2010, VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Paddock dated January 22, 2010, relating to Paddock's ANDA filing for bupropion hydrobromide extended-release tablets, 174 mg and 522 mg, which correspond to the Company's Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets 174 mg and 522 mg products. Paddock has certified that the six patents currently listed in the FDA's Orange Book for Aplenzin®, plus an additional unlisted VIB patent relating to bupropion hydrobromide, are invalid and/or not infringed. A complaint was filed on March 9, 2010 against Paddock in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. A parallel suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware has been dismissed without prejudice. A second suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota on April 15, 2010 following a second Paragraph IV certification received from Paddock. These cases were consolidated before the same judge. On December 1, 2011, VIB and Paddock entered into a settlement agreement with respect to this matter. The settlement agreement was submitted to the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice on December 7, 2011. The consolidated case has been dismissed by the Court.

On or about August 20, 2010, Biovail and VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Par") dated August 18, 2010, related to Par's ANDA filing for bupropion hydrobromide extended-release tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg, which corresponds to the Company's Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg products. Par has certified that eight patents currently listed in the Orange Book for Aplenzin® are invalid, unenforceable and or not infringed. A complaint was filed against Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. and Par on September 22, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On December 2, 2011, VIB and Par entered into a settlement agreement with respect to this matter. The settlement agreement was submitted to the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice on December 7, 2011. The case has been dismissed by the Court.

On or after December 12, 2011, a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification, dated December 7, 2011, was received from Spear Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Spear"), related to Spear's ANDA filing for fluorouracil topical cream, 0.5%, which corresponds to the Company's Carac® product. Spear has asserted that U.S. Patent No. 6,670,335 (the "'335 Patent"), which is listed in the FDA's Orange Book for Carac®, is not infringed by the filing of Spear's ANDA or the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation of Spear's product in the US. VIB (as exclusive licensee of the '335 Patent) and AP Pharma, Inc. (as owner of the '335 Patent) filed suit pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act against Spear on January 25, 2012, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, thereby triggering a stay of the approval of Spear's ANDA of up to 30 months during the pendency of the litigation. This matter is proceeding in the ordinary course.

General Civil Actions

Complaints have been filed by the City of New York, the State of Alabama, the State of Mississippi, the State of Louisiana and a number of counties within the State of New York, claiming that Biovail, and numerous other pharmaceutical companies, made fraudulent misstatements concerning the "average wholesale price" ("AWP") of their prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the plaintiffs for pharmaceutical products sold by the companies.

24.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

The City of New York and plaintiffs for all the counties in New York (other than Erie, Oswego and Schenectady) voluntarily dismissed Biovail and certain others of the named defendants on a without prejudice basis. Similarly, the State of Mississippi voluntarily dismissed its claim against Biovail and a number of defendants on a without prejudice basis.

In the case brought by the State of Alabama, the Company answered the State's Amended Complaint. On October 16, 2009, the Supreme Court of Alabama issued an opinion reversing judgments in favor of the State in the first three cases that were tried against co-defendant companies. The Alabama Supreme Court also rendered judgment in favor of those defendants, finding that the State's fraud-based theories failed as a matter of law. The court ordered all parties to this proceeding to attend mediation in December 2011. The matter has settled for an all inclusive payment in the amount of less than $0.1 million.

A Third Amending Petition for Damages and Jury Demand was filed on November 10, 2010 in Louisiana State Court by the State of Louisiana claiming that a former subsidiary of the Company, and numerous other pharmaceutical companies, knowingly inflated the AWP and "wholesale acquisition cost" of their prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the State for pharmaceutical products sold by the companies. The State has subsequently filed additional amendments to its Petition, none of which materially affect the claims against the Company. The matter is in preliminary stages and the Company intends to defend against this action.

On December 15, 2009, Biovail was served with a Seventh Amended Complaint under the False Claims Act in an action captioned United States of America, ex rel. Constance A. Conrad v. Actavis Mid-Atlantic, LLC, et al., United States District Court, District of Massachusetts. This case was originally filed in 2002 and maintained under seal until shortly before Biovail was served. Twenty other companies are named as defendants. In the Seventh Amended Complaint, Conrad alleges that various formulations of Rondec, a product formerly owned by Biovail, were not properly approved by the FDA and therefore not a "Covered Outpatient Drug" within the meaning of the Medicaid Rebate Statute. As such, Conrad alleges that Rondec was not eligible for reimbursement by federal healthcare programs, including Medicaid. Conrad seeks treble damages and civil penalties under the False Claims Act. Motions to dismiss have been brought by the defendants. Briefing on these motions will conclude on March 30, 2012. A hearing date has not been set.

Legacy Valeant Litigation

Valeant is the subject of a Formal Order of Investigation with respect to events and circumstances surrounding trading in its common stock, the public release of data from its first pivotal Phase III trial for taribavirin in March 2006, statements made in connection with the public release of data and matters regarding its stock option grants since January 1, 2000 and its restatement of certain historical financial statements announced in March 2008. In September 2006, Valeant's board of directors established a Special Committee to review its historical stock option practices and related accounting, and informed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of these efforts. Valeant has cooperated fully and will continue to cooperate with the SEC in its investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation.

26.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

Business Segments

Effective with the Merger, the Company operates in the following business segments, based on differences in products and services and geographical areas of operations:

•

U.S. Neurology and Other consists of sales of pharmaceutical products indicated for the treatment of neurological and other diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products the Company developed or acquired. In addition, this segment includes revenue from contract research services provided by CRD prior to its disposal in July 2010.

•

U.S. Dermatology consists of pharmaceutical and OTC product sales, and alliance and contract service revenues in the areas of dermatology and topical medication.

•

Canada and Australia consists of pharmaceutical and OTC products primarily sold in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

•

Branded Generics — Europe consists primarily of branded generic pharmaceutical products, as well as OTC products and agency/in-licensing arrangements with other research-based pharmaceutical companies (where the Company distributes and markets branded, patented products under long-term, renewable contracts). Products are sold primarily in Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Croatia and Russia.

•

Branded Generics — Latin America consists of branded generic pharmaceutical and OTC products sold primarily in Mexico and Brazil and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets.

Segment profit is based on operating income after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs and legal settlement and acquired IPR&D charges, are not included in the measure of segment profit, as management excludes these items in assessing financial performance.

Corporate includes the finance, treasury, tax and legal operations of the Company's businesses and maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, expenses, gains and losses related to the overall management of the Company, which are not allocated to the other business segments. In addition, share-based compensation is considered a corporate cost, since the amount of such expense depends on company-wide performance rather than the operating performance of any single segment.

27.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

New Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On February 13, 2012, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of financial institutions and investors. Under the New Credit Agreement, in addition to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we syndicated a $600.0 million senior secured tranche B term loan facility (the "Tranche B Term Loans" and, together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the "New Senior Secured Credit Facilities") to fund the repayment of outstanding amounts under Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Tranche B Term Loans mature on February 13, 2019 and amortizes quarterly commencing June 30, 2012 at an annual rate of 1.0%. The Tranche B Term Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest quoted in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section, as the Prime Rate (currently defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's thirty largest banks) and (2) the federal funds effective rate plus ¹/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBO rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the LIBO rate in respect of Tranche B Term Loans shall at no time be less than 1%.

The New Senior Secured Credit Facilities contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company's ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; enter into agreements and other arrangements that include negative pledge clauses; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by subsidiaries; make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; merge, amalgamate or sell assets, including equity interests of the subsidiaries; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into new lines of business; and enter into amendments of or waivers under subordinated indebtedness, organizational documents and certain other material agreements.

27.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)

The New Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a secured leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012. The New Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The New Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default, as specified in the New Credit Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Eyetech Inc.

On February 13, 2012, the Company acquired Eyetech Inc. ("Eyetech"), a privately-owned ophthalmic biotechnology company dedicated to the treatment of sight-threatening diseases of the retina, for an up-front purchase price of $22.3 million and potential milestone payments of up to $4.0 million based on sales of Macugen® in 2012 and 2013. Eyetech markets Macugen® in the U.S., the first anti-VEGF inhibitor approved for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU

As described in note 4 "ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS", in connection with the acquisition of Dermik, the Company was required by the FTC to divest IDP-111, a generic version of BenzaClin®, and 5-FU, an authorized generic of Efudex®. On February 3, 2012, the Company sold the IDP-111 and 5-FU products to Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for $66.2 million in cash.

Probiotica Laboratorios Ltda.

On February 1, 2012, the Company acquired Probiotica Laboratorios Ltda. ("Probiotica"), a leader in sports nutrition and food supplements in Brazil for a total purchase price of BRL$150.0 million (approximately $85.9 million). Probiotica currently markets a line of OTC sports nutrition products and other food supplements.

The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Due to the limited time since the closing of the acquisition, the valuation efforts and related acquisition accounting are incomplete at the time of filing of the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company is unable to provide amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for major classes of assets and liabilities acquired, including goodwill. In addition, because the acquisition accounting is incomplete, the Company is unable to provide the supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings for the combined entity, as the pro forma adjustments are expected to primarily consist of estimates for the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired and related income tax effects, which will result from the purchase price allocation and determination of the fair values for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

xNet exercise

The details of your option are as follows:

1.VESTING.

(a)In General.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as provided above, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your employment, and unvested options will be forfeited (and, in the case of termination for Cause, your vested options will also be forfeited).

(b)Vesting Acceleration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that (i) your employment is terminated (x) by the Company without Cause or (y) by you for Good Reason, in either case within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, then any option that was not cancelled in connection with such Change of Control in exchange for a cash payment will vest on the date of your termination of employment or (ii) your employment is terminated by the Company due to your death, then the vesting and exercisability of 100% of the then unvested Common Shares subject to your option shall be accelerated in full.

2.NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE.  The number of Common Shares subject to your option and your exercise price per share referenced above may be adjusted from time to time for capital adjustments.

3.METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of your option.  You may elect to make payment of the exercise price of your option in cash or by check or in any other manner permitted above, which may include one or more of the following:

(a)Bank draft or money order payable to the Company.

(b)Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Shares are publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Shares, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.

(c)Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Shares are publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of already-owned Common Shares either that you have held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings (generally six (6) months) or that you did not acquire, directly or indirectly from the Company, that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Market Price on the date of exercise.  “Delivery” for these purposes, in the sole discretion of the Company at the time you exercise your option, shall include delivery to the Company of your attestation of ownership of such Common Shares in a form approved by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not exercise your option by tender to the Company of Common Shares to the

2

extent such tender would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock.

(d)By a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Common Shares issued upon exercise of your option by the largest whole number of Common Shares with a Market Price that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from you to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Common Shares to be issued; provided further, however, that Common Shares will no longer be outstanding under your option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (i) Common Shares are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (ii) Common Shares are delivered to you as a result of such exercise, and (iii) Common Shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

4.WHOLE SHARES.  You may exercise your option only for whole Common Shares.

5.SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the Common Shares issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act of 1934 as amended (the “Securities Act”) or, if such Common Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The exercise of your option also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

6.TERM.  You may not exercise your option before it becomes vested and exercisable or after the expiration of its term.  The term of your option commences on the Equity Grant Date and, except as provided otherwise in Section 7(a) of the Plan, expires upon the earliest of the following:

(a)the Expiration Date indicated above;

(b)your termination of employment, in the event your employment is terminated for Cause;

(c)the Expiration Date indicated above, in the event your employment is terminated due to your death; or

(d)three (3) months after your termination of employment, in the event your employment is terminated for any reason other than for Cause or because of your death; provided, however, that (i) if during any part of such three (3) month period your option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in Section 5, your option shall not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of three (3) months after termination of your employment; or (ii) if your employment is terminated within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control (x) by the Company without Cause or (y) by you for Good Reason and your option was not cancelled in connection with such Change of Control in exchange for a cash payment, twelve (12) months following your termination of employment.

3

7.EXERCISE.  You may exercise the vested portion of your option during its term by delivering a notice (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Company’s Plan administrator, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

8.TRANSFERABILITY.

(a)Restrictions on Transfer.  Your option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you; provided, however, that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may, in its sole discretion, permit you to transfer your option in a manner consistent with applicable tax and securities laws upon your request.

(b)Domestic Relations Orders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, your option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order.

(c)Beneficiary Designation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your option.

9.CHANGE OF CONTROL.  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, at the election of the Company, your option shall either be (i) cancelled in exchange for a cash payment based in the case of any merger transaction on the price received by shareholders in the transaction constituting the Change of Control or in the case of any other event that constitutes a Change of Control, the Market Price of a share on the date such Change of Control occurs (minus the applicable exercise price per share) or (ii) converted into options in respect of the common stock of the acquiring entity (in a merger or otherwise) on the basis of the relative values of such stock and the shares at the time of the Change of Control; provided that clause (ii) shall only be applicable if the common stock of the acquiring entity is publicly traded on an established securities market on the date on which such Change of Control is effected.

10.OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT.  Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company, or of the Company to continue your employment.  In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company, their respective stockholders, boards of directors or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an employee for the Company.

11.WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

(a)At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a “cashless exercise” pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums

4

required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the exercise of your option.

(b)Upon your request and subject to approval by the Company, in its sole discretion, and compliance with any applicable legal conditions or restrictions, the Company may withhold from fully vested Common Shares otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a number of whole Common Shares having a Market Price, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid variable award accounting).  Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility.

12.NOTICES.  Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon your receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

13.HEADINGS.  The headings of the Sections in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement or to affect the meaning of this Agreement.

14.AMENDMENT.  Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company’s ability to exercise its discretionary authority pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan; provided, however, that no such action may, without your consent, adversely affect your rights under your option.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Board (or appropriate committee thereof) reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change will be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

15.MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)The rights and obligations of the Company under your option shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns.

(b)You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of your option.

(c)You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your option in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing and accepting your option and fully understand all provisions of your option.

(d)This Agreement will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

5

(e)All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

16.GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT.  Your option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your option, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.  The Board (or appropriate committee thereof) will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Board (or appropriate committee thereof) will be final and binding upon you, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Board (or appropriate committee thereof) will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

17.EFFECT ON OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.  The value of the Award subject to this Agreement will not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries or other similar terms used when calculating the employee’s benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify or terminate any of the Company’s employee benefit plans.

18.CHOICE OF LAW.  The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada.

19.SEVERABILITY.  If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity will not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid will, if possible, be construed in a manner that will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

MATCHING RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
(MATCHING UNITS)

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), hereby awards to Participant a Restricted Stock Unit Award in the form of matching share units (the “Matching Restricted Stock Units” or the “Award”), payable in common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), covering the number of Common Shares set forth below.  This Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions as set forth herein (the “Award Agreement”) and in the Plan, which is incorporated herein in its entirety.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in your Offer Letter, dated [  ] and if such terms are not so defined, the terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

Participant:

Date of Grant:

Number of Shares Subject to Award:

Purchase Period:

The details of your Award are as follows.

1.CONSIDERATION.  Consideration for this Award is satisfied by your services to the Company and your purchase and retention of the Purchased Shares (as defined in Section 2(b) of this Award Agreement).

2.VESTING.

(a)In General.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2(b) below), one-third (1/3rd) of the Award shall vest on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant and an additional one-third (1/3rd) of the Award shall vest each of the second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant, provided Participant is employed on the relevant vesting date.  Settlement of vested Awards shall be pursuant to Section 4 below.

(b)Additional Forfeiture Provisions.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a), if (i) prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, you sell (or otherwise dispose of in a manner not specifically approved by the Committee) any Purchased Shares or Net Shares (as defined in Section 3 of this Award Agreement) or (ii) prior to the date that is six months following the Date of Grant, you sell (or otherwise dispose of in a manner not specifically approved by the Compensation Committee) any Common Shares held by you, whether or not Purchased Shares, in either case, an equal number of unvested Matching Restricted Stock Units (up to the maximum number of Matching Restricted Stock Units unvested as of the date of sale or disposition) shall be forfeited with the Matching Restricted Stock Units

next scheduled to vest being forfeited first.  In addition, to the extent, following the Date of Grant, the Company becomes aware that you sold Common Shares in the six month period prior to the Date of Grant, such that, had the Company been aware of such sale prior to the Date of Grant, some or all of the Matching Restricted Stock Units would not have been granted to you pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, a number of Matching Restricted Stock Units (whether or not vested) equal to the number of Common Shares sold shall be forfeited, with the Matching Restricted Stock Units next scheduled to vest being forfeited first, and should it be determined that you were aware of such undisclosed sale or disposition at the time of the Grant Date, the Company may terminate your employment with the Company and its affiliates and such termination shall be deemed to be a termination for Cause for all purposes (including without limitation, for purposes of determining your right to separation pay under any agreement with the Company that you are a party to or any plan or policy of the Company and for purposes of determining the treatment of any Company equity awards that you may hold at the time of your termination).  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Purchased Shares” shall mean the Common Shares that you purchase during the Purchase Period (as set forth above), or if you exercise a previously granted option during the Purchase Period, a number of Common Shares acquired in connection with such exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price divided by the Market Price of a Common Share on the date of exercise; provided, however, that the aggregate number of Purchased Shares shall not exceed the number of Matching Restricted Stock Units granted to you hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, the net settlement of any previously granted equity awards to satisfy exercise price or tax withholding obligations shall not be considered a sale or other disposition of Common Shares for purposes of this Award Agreement.

(c)Notification Requirements.  You hereby agree to notify the Company of (i) any Common Shares that you sell prior to the date that is six months following the Date of Grant, (ii) any Purchased Shares that you sell prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, and (iii) any Net Shares (as defined in Section 3(a) of this Award Agreement) that you sell prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant and the Company, in its sole discretion, has the authority to determine whether such sale results in the forfeiture of any Matching Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement.  In addition, you agree that, through the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Purchased Shares and Net Shares shall be held with one or more brokers or institutions specified by the Company, that such broker or institution may provide information to the Company with respect to any transaction involving the Purchased Shares or Net Shares, and that the Company shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the actions or creditworthiness of such broker or institution.

(d)Vesting Acceleration. In the event that (i) your Continuous Service is terminated (x) by the Company for any reason other than on account of Cause or (y) by you for Good Reason, in either case within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control or (ii) your Continuous Service is terminated by the Company due to your death, then the Matching Restricted Stock Units will immediately vest and be settled in shares as soon as practicable (but not more than sixty (60) days) thereafter.

3.SALES RESTRICTION.

(a)In General.  Following the settlement of the vested Matching Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award in Common Shares pursuant to Section 4 of this Award

2

Agreement, you may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the “Net Shares” (as defined below) transferred to you upon settlement of such vested Matching Restricted Stock Units in Common Shares until the earliest of (i) three (3) years following the Date of Grant; (ii) a Change of Control; or (iii) the day immediately following your last day of employment.  You may be required to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.  In order to enforce the foregoing, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Shares until the end of such period, or place legends on stock certificates issued pursuant to the Plan restricting the transfer of such shares until the end of such period.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, the term “Net Shares” shall mean the net number of Common Shares transferred to you upon settlement of the vested Matching Restricted Stock Units after subtracting any such Common Shares withheld by the Company in payment of tax withholding obligations applicable to such settlement.

(b)Exception.  Notwithstanding the restrictions in this Award Agreement that do not permit you to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Purchased Shares, Common Shares or Net Shares, you are permitted to transfer any such shares without penalty under either of the foregoing circumstances: (i) you may contribute any such shares to a limited partnership where all partners are members of your family (“Family Limited Partnership”) or a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (“GRAT”) or a like-vehicle, provided that the Family Limited Partnership, GRAT, or like-vehicle (x) does not allow the shares to be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of during the applicable restricted period with respect to such shares, (y) in the case of a GRAT, you shall at all times remain the trustee of the GRAT, and (z) in the case of a Family Limited Partnership or such like-vehicle, you retain “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Act) of such shares; and (ii) you may pledge such shares as collateral for loans, provided that (A) you represent to the Company that you will not default or otherwise cause such collateral to be liquidated, transferred or sold during the applicable restricted period, (B) there is an independent reasonable basis to conclude that none of the shares used as collateral are likely to be sold to satisfy a debt during the applicable restricted period with respect to such shares, and (C) you agree to substitute other collateral for such shares (with collateral that is not Common Shares) in the event that such collateral would have to be liquidated, transferred or sold during the applicable restricted period with respect to such shares.

4.DISTRIBUTION OF COMMON SHARES.  The Company will deliver to you a number of Common Shares equal to (i) the number of Matching Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award that become vested in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement, plus (ii) any Matching Restricted Stock Units resulting from dividend equivalents credited with respect to such Matching Restricted Stock Units in accordance with Section 6 of this Award Agreement, as soon as practicable (but, subject to Section 7(c)(vi) of the Plan regarding blackout restrictions, in any event no later than sixty (60) days) following the date on which such Matching Restricted Stock Units become vested; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Company terminates your service for Cause prior to the date on which the Common Shares are distributed to you, you shall forfeit any right to such distribution of Common Shares.

5.NUMBER OF SHARES.The number of Common Shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for capital adjustments, as provided in the Plan. The Company will

establish a bookkeeping account to reflect the number of Matching Restricted Stock Units standing to your credit from time to time.

6.DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.  The bookkeeping account maintained for your Award shall, until the vesting date or termination and cancellation or forfeiture of the Matching Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, be allocated additional Matching Restricted Stock Units on the payment date of dividends on the Company’s Common Shares. Such dividends will be converted into additional Common Shares covered by the Matching Restricted Stock Units by dividing (i) the aggregate amount or value of the dividends paid with respect to that number of Common Shares equal to the number of shares covered by the Matching Restricted Stock Units by (ii) the Market Price per Common Share on the payment date for such dividend. Any such additional Matching Restricted Stock Units shall have the same vesting dates and vest in accordance with the same terms as the Matching Restricted Stock Units granted under this Award Agreement.

8.SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any Common Shares under your Award unless the shares are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act or

In addition, nothing in your Award will obligate the Company or an affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an employee of the Company or an affiliate.

Upon such delivery, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

2.VESTING.

(a)In General. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the acceleration provisions contained herein, your Award will vest as follows, provided that vesting will cease upon termination of your employment.  Any Share Units that did not become vested prior to your termination of employment or that do not become vested according to the provisions in this Section 2 shall be forfeited immediately following the date of your termination of employment.  The Share Units subject to this Award shall vest in accordance with the following performance thresholds, provided that Participant’s employment continues until each vesting date:

(i)Single Vesting Share Price

If at the date that is 3 months prior to the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date (the “First Primary Measurement Date”), the Adjusted Share Price (as defined below) equals or exceeds the Single Vesting Share Price (as defined below), Participant shall vest in 25% of the Share Units subject to the Award.

If at the date that is the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date (the “Second Primary Measurement Date”), the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Single Vesting Share Price, Participant shall vest in an additional 50% of the Share Units subject to the Award.

If at the date that is 3 months following the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date (the “Third Primary Measurement Date”), the Adjusted Share Price equals or

(iv)Additional Vesting

Any Share Units that could have been vested under any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above that do not become vested on the First Primary Measurement Date, the Second Primary Measurement Date or the Third Primary Measurement Date, may become vested on each of the applicable dates that is one year following each such date, respectively, based upon the Adjusted Share Price on the applicable measurement date, provided that Participant remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date.

(v)Interpolation

If the Adjusted Share Price on a measurement date set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), as well as clause (iv), is between the Single Vesting Share Price and the Double Vesting Share Price or is between the Double Vesting Share Price and the Triple Vesting Share Price, Participant shall vest in a number of Share Units that is the mathematical linear interpolation between the number of Share Units which would vest at defined ends of the applicable spectrum.

(vi)Accelerated Vesting

Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting provisions, if on any date between the date that is one year following the Equity Grant Date and the Second Primary Measurement Date, the Adjusted Share Price on such date:

(A) exceeds $        , then Participant will become vested in [Insert # of Share Units subject to the Award] of the Share Units that could have been earned under clause (i) above;

(B) exceeds $        , then Participant will become vested in the additional [Insert # of Share Units subject to the Award] of the Share Units that could have been earned under clause (ii) above; and

(C) exceeds $        , then Participant will become vested in the additional [Insert # of Share Units subject to the Award] of the Share Units that could have been earned under clause (iii) above;

provided, that the vesting that takes place pursuant to this clause (vi) if the Adjusted Share Price target is achieved shall only take place the first time such Adjusted Share Price target is achieved on such vesting date, there is no interpolation of vesting pursuant to this clause (vi), and to vest in any of the Share Units pursuant to this clause (vi) the Participant must remain employed by the Company on the applicable vesting date.

(vii)  Forfeiture

Any Share Units that are not vested as of the date that is one year following the Third Primary Measurement Date shall be immediately forfeited.

(viii) Definitions

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(A)  “Adjusted Share Price” means the sum of (x) the average of the closing prices of the Common Shares during the 20 consecutive trading days starting on the specified measurement date (or if such measurement date does not fall on a trading day, the immediately following trading day) (“Average Share Price”); and (y) the value that would be derived from the number of Common Shares (including fractions thereof) that would have been purchased had an amount equal to each dividend paid on a Common Share after the Equity Grant Date and on or prior to the applicable measurement date been deemed invested on the dividend payment date, based on the Market Price of the Common Shares on such dividend payment date.

(B)  “Single Vesting Share Price,” “Double Vesting Share Price” and “Triple Vesting Share Price” means the Adjusted Share Prices equal to a compound annual share price appreciation (the “Annual Compound TSR”) of 15%, 30% and 45%, respectively, as measured from a base price of $[XX] over a measurement period from the Equity Grant Date to the last trading day of the period used to calculate the Adjusted Share Price.

3

(b)Vesting Acceleration in Event of Death.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that your employment is terminated by the Company due to your death after the first anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the performance thresholds applicable to the Share Units will be applied as though the date of termination was the end of the twenty consecutive trading-day average measurement period and the Share Units so earned will vest in a manner consistent with the vesting thresholds described in Section 2(a) of this Agreement (e.g., the number of Share Units subject to the Award specified above at an Annual Compound TSR of 15%, two times the number of Share Units subject to the Award specified above at an Annual Compound TSR of 30%, and three times the number of Share Units subject to the Award specified above at an Annual Compound TSR of 45%; provided that you will vest in a number of Share Units that is the mathematical linear interpolation between the number of Share Units which would vest for performance between the Annual Compound TSR thresholds), but based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through the date of termination.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if death occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the measurement date will still be the date of termination, but the Annual Compound TSR will be determined based on an assumed measurement period of one year.

(c)Vesting Acceleration in Event of Disability or Termination by the Company Without Cause or by You for Good Reason.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary and subject to Section 2(d) below, in the event that your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, or in the event of your Disability, in each case, following the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the performance thresholds applicable to the Share Units will be applied as though your Termination Date was the end of the twenty consecutive trading-day average measurement period and the Share Units so earned will vest in a manner consistent with the vesting thresholds described in Section 2(a) of this Agreement, but based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through your Termination Date, provided, however, that in the event you are entitled to benefits pursuant to this Section 2(c), only a pro rata portion of such calculated Share Units will vest upon termination based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Equity Grant Date through the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Equity Grant Date through the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if termination of employment for a reason set forth in this Section 2(c) occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the Share Units will be forfeited.

(d)Treatment of Share Units in Event of Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control, the Share Units will be converted into a number of time-based restricted stock units (the “Resulting RSUs”), determined by applying the performance thresholds applicable to the Share Units as though the sum of (i) the Market Price of the Common Shares on the date of the Change of Control and (ii) the value that would be derived from the number of Common Shares (including fractions thereof) that would have been purchased had an amount equal to each dividend paid on a Common Share after the Equity Grant Date and on or prior to the applicable measurement date been deemed invested on the dividend payment date, based on the Market Price of the Common Shares on such dividend payment date was the Adjusted Share Price, with the number of Resulting RSUs equal to the number of Share Units that would have vested based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through the Change of Control.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if termination following a Change of Control occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the measurement date will still be the date of the Change of Control, but the Annual Compound TSR will be determined based on an assumed measurement period of one year.  The Resulting RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, subject to your continued employment; provided that in the event of involuntary termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you with Good Reason within the twelve (12) months following a Change

4

of Control, the vesting and payment of such Resulting RSUs will be accelerated to your Termination Date.  Any Share Units that did not become Resulting RSUs will be forfeited on a Change of Control.

3.COMMON SHARE OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS.  You agree to comply with any Common Share ownership requirements adopted by the Company applicable to you, which shall be on the same terms as similarly situated executives of the Company.

4.DISTRIBUTION OF COMMON SHARES.  The Company will deliver to you a number of Common Shares equal to the number of vested Share Units subject to your Award as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than forty five (45) days following the date of vesting.

5.NUMBER OF SHARES.   The number of Common Shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for capital adjustments, as provided in the Plan.  The Company will establish a bookkeeping account to reflect the number of Share Units standing to your credit from time to time.  However, you will not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to, any Common Shares subject to your Award (including but not limited to shareholder voting rights) unless and until the shares have been delivered to you in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.

6.DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.  The bookkeeping account maintained for the Award granted pursuant to this Agreement shall, until the vesting date or termination and cancellation or forfeiture of the Share Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, be allocated additional Share Units on the payment date of dividends on the Company’s Common Shares. Such dividends will be converted into additional Common Shares covered by the Share Units by dividing (i) the aggregate amount or value of the dividends paid with respect to that number of Common Shares equal to the number of shares covered by the Share Units by (ii) the Market Price per Common Share on the payment date for such dividend. Any such additional Share Units shall have the same vesting dates and vest in accordance with the same terms as the Share Units granted under this Agreement.

7.COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.  This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations and related guidance, and shall in all respects be administered and interpreted in accordance with such requirements.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, settlement of vested Share Units to Common Shares may only be made under this Agreement upon an event or in a manner permitted by section 409A of the Code.  Settlement and delivery of Common Shares on account of a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code and, if you are a “specified employee” (as defined in section 409A of the Code and determined in the sole discretion of the Company in accordance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code) at the time of your separation from service, in no event may settlement and delivery of Common Shares on account of your separation from service occur prior to the date which is six months following your separation from service.  In no event may you designate the calendar year of settlement and delivery of Common Shares.

8.SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.  You may not be issued any Common Shares under your Award unless the shares are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act of 1934 as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

5

9.RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS.  The Common Shares issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.

10.TRANSFERABILITY.  Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, will thereafter be entitled to receive any distribution of Common Shares pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.

11.AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT.  Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award will be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company, or on the part of the Company to continue such service.  In addition, nothing in your Award will obligate the Company, their respective shareholders, boards of directors or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an employee of the Company.

12.UNSECURED OBLIGATION.  Your Award is unfunded, and as a holder of a vested Share Unit, you will be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement.  You will not have voting or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Common Shares subject to your Award until such Common Shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.  Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

13.WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.  On or before the time you receive a distribution of Common Shares pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Shares, payroll and any other amounts payable or issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company which arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”).  Participant may direct the Company to (i) withhold, from Common Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Award, a portion of those Common Shares with an aggregate Market Price (defined as in Section 3 of the Plan but measured as of the delivery date) equal to the amount of the applicable withholding taxes; provided, however, that the number of such Common Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding tax rates, and (ii) make a cash payment equal to such fair market value directly to the appropriate taxing authorities, as provided in the Agreement.

14.NOTICES.  Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

The Company shall enter into a stock option award agreement with you for the above grant of Options, incorporating the terms set forth in this letter agreement and in the form of stock option award agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

Performance Restricted Share Units. On the Grant Date you will also receive 90,000 performance-based restricted stock units under the Plan (the “Performance Share Units”), which shall vest as follows, provided that, except as set forth herein, you are continually employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date:

(i)Single Vesting Share Price.

If at the date that is 3 months prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “First Primary Measurement Date”), the Adjusted Share Price (as defined below) equals or exceeds the Single Vesting Share Price (as defined below), you shall vest in 25% of the Performance Share Units.

If at the date that is the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Second Primary Measurement Date”), the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Single Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 50% of the Performance Share Units.

2

If at the date that is 3 months following the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Third Primary Measurement Date”), the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Single Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 25% of the Performance Share Units.

(ii)Double Vesting Share Price.

If at the First Primary Measurement Date, the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Double Vesting Share Price (as defined below), you shall vest in 50% of the Performance Share Units.

If at the Second Primary Measurement Date, the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Double Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 100% of the Performance Share Units.

If at the Third Primary Measurement Date, the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Double Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 50% of the Performance Share Units.

(iii)Triple Vesting Share Price.

If at the First Primary Measurement Date, the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Triple Vesting Share Price (as defined below), you shall vest in 75% of the Performance Share Units.

If at the Second Primary Measurement Date, the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Triple Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 150% of the Performance Share Units.

If at the Third Primary Measurement Date, the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Triple Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 75% of the Performance Share Units.

(iv)Performance Share Units that could have been vested under either of paragraphs (i), (ii), or (iii) that do not become vested on the First Primary Measurement Date, the Second Primary Measurement Date or the Third Primary Measurement Date, may become vested on each of the applicable dates that is one year following each such date, respectively, based upon the Adjusted Share Price on the applicable

3

measurement date, provided that you are employed by the Company on such applicable vesting date. Any Performance Share Units that are not vested as of the date that is three months following the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date shall be immediately forfeited.

(v)If the Adjusted Share Price on a measurement date set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), as well as clause (iv), is between the Single Vesting Share Price and the Double Vesting Share Price or is between the Double Vesting Share Price and the Triple Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in a number of Performance Share Units that is the mathematical linear interpolation between the number of Performance Share Units which would vest at defined ends of the applicable spectrum.

(vi)“Adjusted Share Price” means the sum of (i) the average of the closing prices of Shares during the 20 consecutive trading days starting on the specified measurement date (or if such measurement date does not fall on a trading day, the immediately following trading day) (“Average Share Price”), and (ii) the value (applying the Average Share Price) that would be derived from the number of Shares (including fractions thereof) that would have been purchased had an amount equal to each dividend paid on a share of common stock after the Grant Date and on or prior to the applicable measurement date been deemed invested on the dividend payment date, based on the closing price of the common stock on such dividend payment date.  The Adjusted Share Price and Average Share Price shall be subject to equitable adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and other capital adjustments.

(vii)“Single Vesting Share Price,” “Double Vesting Share Price” and “Triple Vesting Share Price” means the Adjusted Share Prices equal to a compound annual share price appreciation (the “Annual Compound TSR”) of 15%, 30% and 45%, respectively, as measured from a base price equal to the average of the closing prices of Shares during 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Grant Date over a measurement period from the Grant Date to the last trading day of the period used to calculate the Adjusted Share Price. Such base price shall be subject to equitable adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and other capital adjustments (such price, as adjusted, the “Base Price”).

(viii)Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting provisions of the Performance Share Units, if on any date between the date that is one year following

4

the Grant Date and the Second Primary Measurement Date, the Adjusted Share Price on such date:

(A) exceeds a 30% Annual Compound TSR as measured through the Second Primary Measurement Date, then you will become vested in 90,000 of the Performance Share Units that could have been earned under clause (i) above;

(B) exceeds a 45% Annual Compound TSR as measured through the Second Primary Measurement Date, then you will become vested in the additional 90,000 of the Performance Share Units that could have been earned under clause (ii) above; and

(C) exceeds a 60% Annual Compound TSR as measured through the Second Primary Measurement Date, then you will become vested in the additional 90,000 of the Performance Share Units that could have been earned under clause (iii) above;

provided, however, that the vesting that takes place pursuant to this clause (viii) if the Adjusted Share Price target is achieved shall only take place the first time such Adjusted Share Price target is achieved on such vesting date, there is no interpolation of vesting pursuant to this clause (viii), and to vest in any of the Performance Share Units pursuant to this clause (viii) you must remain employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date.

(ix)The Company shall distribute to you a number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Shares Units that become vested as soon as practicable (but in any event no later than 45 days) following the vesting date of such Performance Shares Units.

(x)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event of your death, the performance measures applicable to the Performance Share Units will be applied as though the date of death was the end of the 20 consecutive trading-day average measurement period, with the number of units calculated in a manner consistent with the vesting schedule described above, but based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through the date of death.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if death occurs prior to the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, the measurement date will still be the date of death, but the Annual Compound TSR will be determined based on an assumed measurement period of one year.

5

Any Performance Share Units that did not become vested prior to the date of death for a reason set forth in this clause (x) or that do not become vested as a result of this clause (x) shall be forfeited immediately following the date of death.

(xi)Subject to clause (xii) below, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event of an involuntary termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you with Good Reason, or in the event of your Disability (each as defined below), in each case, following the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, the performance measures applicable to the Performance Share Units will be applied as though your employment Termination Date was the end of the 20 consecutive trading-day average measurement period, with the number of units calculated in a manner consistent with the vesting schedule described above, but based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through your Termination Date, provided, however, only a pro rata portion of such calculated Performance Share Units will vest upon termination.  Any Performance Share Units that did not become vested prior to your termination of employment for a reason set forth in this clause (xi) or that do not become vested as a result of this clause (xi) shall be forfeited immediately following the date of your termination of employment.  In the event of a termination of employment for a reason set forth in this clause (xi) that occurs prior to the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, the award of Performance Share Units shall be forfeited.

(xii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, the Performance Share Units will be converted into a number of time-based restricted stock units (the “Resulting RSUs”) determined by applying the performance measures applicable to the Performance Share Units as though the sum of (i) fair market value of the Company common stock on the date of the Change in Control and (ii) the value that would be derived from the number of Shares (including fractions thereof) that would have been purchased had an amount equal to each dividend paid on a Share after the Grant Date and on or prior to the applicable measurement date been deemed invested on the dividend payment date, based on the closing price of the Shares on such dividend payment date was the Adjusted Share Price, with the number of Resulting RSUs equal to the number of Performance Share Units that would have vested based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through the Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if termination following a Change in Control occurs prior to the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, the measurement date will still be

6

the date of Change in Control, but the Annual Compound TSR will be determined based on an assumed measurement period of one year.  The Resulting RSUs will vest on Second Primary Measurement Date, subject to your continued employment; provided that in the event of an involuntary termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or a voluntary termination of your employment by you with Good Reason within the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the vesting and payment of such Resulting RSUs will be accelerated to your Termination Date.  Any Performance Share Units that did not become Resulting RSUs shall be forfeited on the Change in Control.  Any Resulting RSUs that did not become vested prior to your termination of employment for a reason set forth in this clause (xii) or that do not become vested as a result of this clause (xii) shall be forfeited immediately following the date of your termination of employment.

(xiii)The Company shall enter into a restricted share unit award agreement with you for the above grant of Performance Share Units, incorporating the terms set forth in this letter agreement in the form of performance-based restricted share unit award agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit B.

Share Ownership Commitment.  Prior to the first anniversary of your start date, you shall purchase Shares with an aggregate purchase price of not less than $3,200,000. You also agree to comply with any future share ownership requirements adopted by the Company applicable to you, which shall be on the same terms as similarly situated executives of the Company.

Matching Grants for Share Purchases. In connection with such share ownership, you shall also be eligible to receive one matching share unit for each Share that you purchase, up to an aggregate purchase date Share value of $5,000,000.  Any such matching share units shall be granted under the Company’s matching share unit program in accordance with its terms as applied for similarly situated executives of the Company. The matching grant program grant form is annexed as Exhibit C.

To protect the confidential information and other trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates, you agree, during your employment with the Company or any of its affiliates and for a period of twelve (12) months after your cessation of employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, not to solicit, attempt to solicit, or participate in or assist in any way in the solicitation or attempted solicitation of any employees or independent contractors of the Company or any of its affiliates. For purposes of this covenant, “solicit” or “solicitation” means directly or indirectly influencing or attempting to influence employees of the Company or any of its affiliates to become employed with any other person, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity. You agree that the covenants contained in this paragraph are reasonable and necessary to protect the confidential information and other trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates, provided, that solicitation through general advertising or the provision of references shall not constitute a breach of such obligations.  For purposes of this paragraph, an “affiliate” shall mean any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company or any joint venture or collaboration in which any such entity or the Company participates.

·Remedies for Breach of Obligations Under the Covenants Not to Solicit Above. It is the intent and desire of you and the Company (and its affiliates) that the restrictive provisions in the paragraph captioned “Covenant Not to Solicit” above be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies as applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provision in such paragraph shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such covenant shall be amended, without any action on the part of either party hereto, to delete therefrom the portion so determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. Your obligations under the two preceding paragraphs shall survive the termination of your employment with or any other employment arrangement with the Company or any of its affiliates.  You acknowledge that the Company or its affiliates will suffer irreparable injury, not readily susceptible of valuation in monetary damages, if you breach your obligations under the paragraph captioned “Covenant Not to Solicit” above. Accordingly, you agree that the Company and its affiliates will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to obtaininjunctive relief against any breach or prospective breach by you of your obligations under either such paragraph in any Federal or state court sitting in the State of New Jersey, or, at the Company’s (or its affiliate’s) election, in any other state or jurisdiction in which you maintain your principal residence or your principal place of business. You agree that the Company or its affiliates may seek the remedies described in the preceding sentence notwithstanding any arbitration or mediation agreement that you may enter into with the Company or any of its affiliates. You hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of all those courts for the purposes of

13

any actions or proceedings instituted by the Company or its affiliates to obtain that injunctive relief, and you agree that process in any or all of those actions or proceedings may be served by registered mail, addressed to the last address provided by you to the Company or its affiliates, or in any other manner authorized by law.

This provision shall survive any termination of the Employment Term.

·Section 409A. The parties intend for the payments and benefits under this Agreement to be exempt from Section 409A or, if not so exempt, to be paid or provided in a manner which complies with the requirements of such section, and intend that this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. Any payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception or another exception under Section 409A shall be paid under the applicable exception.  For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this letter during the six-month period immediately following your separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following your Termination Date (or death, if earlier), with interest from the date such amounts would otherwise have been paid at the short-term applicable federal rate, compounded semi-annually, as determined under Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the month in which payment would have been made but for the delay in payment required to avoid the imposition of an additional rate of tax on you under Section 409A.

2.NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE.  The number of Common Shares subject to your option and your exercise price per share referenced above may be adjusted from time to time for capital adjustments.

3.METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of your option.  You may elect to make payment of the exercise price of your option in cash or by check or in any other manner permitted above, which may include one or more of the following:

(a)Bank draft or money order payable to the Company.

(b)Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Shares are publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Shares, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.

(c)Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Shares are publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of already-owned Common Shares either that you have held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings (generally six (6) months) or that you did not acquire, directly or indirectly from the Company, that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Market Price on the date of exercise.  “Delivery” for these purposes, in the sole discretion of the Company at the time you exercise your option, shall include delivery to the Company of your attestation of ownership of such Common Shares in a form approved by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not exercise your option by tender to the Company of Common Shares to the extent such tender would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock.

(d)By a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Common Shares issued upon exercise of your option by the largest whole number of Common Shares with a Market Price that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from you to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Common Shares to be issued; provided further, however, that Common Shares will no longer be outstanding under your option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (i) Common Shares are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (ii) Common Shares are delivered to you as a result of such exercise, and (iii) Common Shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

4.WHOLE SHARES.  You may exercise your option only for whole Common Shares.

5.SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the Common Shares issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act of 1934 as amended (the “Securities Act”) or, if such Common Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The exercise of your option also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

6.TERM.  You may not exercise your option before it becomes vested and exercisable or after the expiration of its term.  The term of your option commences on the Equity Grant Date and, except as provided otherwise in Section 7(a) of the Plan, expires upon the earliest of the following:

(a)the Expiration Date indicated above;

(b)your termination of employment, in the event your employment is terminated for Cause;

(c)the Expiration Date indicated above, in the event your employment is terminated due to your death or your Disability; or

(d)twelve (12) months following your termination of employment, in the event your employment is terminated (x) by the Company without Cause or (y) by you for Good Reason.

7.EXERCISE.  You may exercise the vested portion of your option during its term by delivering a notice (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Company’s Plan administrator, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

8.TRANSFERABILITY.

(a)Restrictions on Transfer.  Your option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you; provided, however, that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may, in its sole discretion, permit you to transfer your option in a manner consistent with applicable tax and securities laws upon your request.

(b)Domestic Relations Orders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, your option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order.

(c)Beneficiary Designation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your option.

9.CHANGE OF CONTROL.  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, at the election of the Company, your option shall either be (i) cancelled in exchange for a cash payment based in the case of any merger transaction on the price received by shareholders in the transaction constituting the Change of Control or in the case of any other event that constitutes a Change of Control, the closing price of a share on the date such Change of Control occurs (minus the applicable exercise price per share) or (ii) converted into options in respect of the common stock of the acquiring entity (in a merger or otherwise) on the basis of the relative values of such stock and the shares at the time of the Change of Control; provided that clause (ii) shall only be applicable if the common stock of the acquiring entity is publicly traded on an established securities market on the date on which such Change of Control is effected.

10.OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT.  Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company, or of the Company to continue your employment.  In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company, their respective stockholders, boards of directors or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an employee for the Company.

11.WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

(a)At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a “cashless exercise” pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the exercise of your option.

(b)Upon your request and subject to approval by the Company, in its sole discretion, and compliance with any applicable legal conditions or restrictions, the Company may withhold from fully vested Common Shares otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of

your option a number of whole Common Shares having a Market Price, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid variable award accounting).  Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility.

12.NOTICES.  Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon your receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

13.HEADINGS.  The headings of the Sections in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement or to affect the meaning of this Agreement.

14.AMENDMENT.  Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company’s ability to exercise its discretionary authority pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan; provided, however, that no such action may, without your consent, adversely affect your rights under your option.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Board (or appropriate committee thereof) reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change will be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

15.MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)The rights and obligations of the Company under your option shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns.

(d)This Agreement will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

(e)All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

16.GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT.  Your option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your option, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.  The Board (or appropriate committee thereof) will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Board (or appropriate committee thereof) will be final and binding upon you, the Company and all other interested persons.

(a)In General. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the acceleration provisions contained herein, your Award will vest as follows, provided that vesting will cease upon termination of your employment.  Any Share Units that did not become vested prior to your termination of employment or that do not become vested according to the provisions in this Section 2 shall be forfeited immediately following the date of your termination of employment.  The Share Units subject to this Award shall vest in accordance with the following performance thresholds, provided that Participant’s employment continues until each vesting date:

(i)Single Vesting Share Price

If at the date that is 3 months prior to the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date (the “First Primary Measurement Date”), the Adjusted Share Price (as defined below) equals or exceeds the Single Vesting Share Price (as defined below), Participant shall vest in 25% of the Share Units subject to the Award.

If at the date that is the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date (the “Second Primary Measurement Date”), the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Single Vesting Share Price, Participant shall vest in an additional 50% of the Share Units subject to the Award.

If at the date that is 3 months following the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date (the “Third Primary Measurement Date”), the Adjusted Share Price equals or exceeds the Single Vesting Share Price, Participant shall vest in an additional 25% of the Share Units subject to the Award.

Any Share Units that could have been vested under any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above that do not become vested on the First Primary Measurement Date, the Second Primary Measurement Date or the Third Primary Measurement Date, may become vested on each of the applicable dates that is one year following each such date, respectively, based upon the Adjusted Share Price on the applicable measurement date, provided that Participant remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date.

(v)Interpolation

If the Adjusted Share Price on a measurement date set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), as well as clause (iv), is between the Single Vesting Share Price and the Double Vesting Share Price or is between the Double Vesting Share Price and the Triple Vesting Share Price, Participant shall vest in a number of Share Units that is the mathematical linear interpolation between the number of Share Units which would vest at defined ends of the applicable spectrum.

(vi)Accelerated Vesting

Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting provisions, if on any date between the date that is one year following the Equity Grant Date and the Second Primary Measurement Date, the Adjusted Share Price on such date:

(A) exceeds $        , then Participant will become vested in [Insert # of Share Units subject to the Award] of the Share Units that could have been earned under clause (i) above;

(B) exceeds $        , then Participant will become vested in the additional [Insert # of Share Units subject to the Award] of the Share Units that could have been earned under clause (ii) above; and

(C) exceeds $        , then Participant will become vested in the additional [Insert # of Share Units subject to the Award] of the Share Units that could have been earned under clause (iii) above;

provided, that the vesting that takes place pursuant to this clause (vi) if the Adjusted Share Price target is achieved shall only take place the first time such Adjusted Share Price target is achieved on such vesting date, there is no interpolation of vesting pursuant to this clause (vi), and to vest in any of the Share Units pursuant to this clause (vi) the Participant must remain employed by the Company on the applicable vesting date.

(vii)Forfeiture

Any Share Units that are not vested as of the date that is one year following the Third Primary Measurement Date shall be immediately forfeited.

(viii) Definitions

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(A)  “Adjusted Share Price” means the sum of (x) the average of the closing prices of the Common Shares during the 20 consecutive trading days starting on the specified measurement date (or if such measurement date does not fall on a trading day, the immediately following trading day) (“Average Share Price”); and (y) the value (applying the Average Share Price) that would be derived from the number of Common Shares (including fractions thereof) that would have been purchased had an amount equal to each dividend paid on a Common Share after the Equity Grant Date and on or prior to the applicable measurement date been deemed invested on the dividend payment date, based on the closing price of the Common Shares on such dividend payment date.  The Adjusted Share Price and the Average Share Price shall be subject to equitable adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and other capital adjustments.

(B)  “Single Vesting Share Price,” “Double Vesting Share Price” and “Triple Vesting Share Price” means the Adjusted Share Prices equal to a compound annual share price appreciation (the “Annual Compound TSR”) of 15%, 30% and 45%,

respectively, as measured from a base price of $[XX](1) over a measurement period from the Equity Grant Date to the last trading day of the period used to calculate the Adjusted Share Price.  Such base price shall be subject to equitable adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and other capital adjustments.

(b)Vesting Acceleration in Event of Death.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that your employment is terminated by the Company due to your death after the first anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the performance thresholds applicable to the Share Units will be applied as though the date of termination was the end of the twenty consecutive trading-day average measurement period and the Share Units so earned will vest in a manner consistent with the vesting thresholds described in Section 2(a) of this Agreement (e.g., the number of Share Units subject to the Award specified above at an Annual Compound TSR of 15%, two times the number of Share Units subject to the Award specified above at an Annual Compound TSR of 30%, and three times the number of Share Units subject to the Award specified above at an Annual Compound TSR of 45%; provided that you will vest in a number of Share Units that is the mathematical linear interpolation between the number of Share Units which would vest for performance between the Annual Compound TSR thresholds), but based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through the date of termination.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if death occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the measurement date will still be the date of termination, but the Annual Compound TSR will be determined based on an assumed measurement period of one year.

(c)Vesting Acceleration in Event of Disability or Termination by the Company Without Cause or by You for Good Reason.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary and subject to Section 2(d) below, in the event that your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, or in the event of your Disability, in each case, following the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the performance thresholds applicable to the Share Units will be applied as though your Termination Date was the end of the twenty consecutive trading-day average measurement period and the Share Units so earned will vest in a manner consistent with the vesting thresholds described in Section 2(a) of this Agreement, but based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through your Termination Date, provided, however, that in the event you are entitled to benefits pursuant to this Section 2(c), only a pro rata portion of such calculated Share Units will vest upon termination based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Equity Grant Date through the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Equity Grant Date through the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if termination of employment for a reason set forth in this Section 2(c) occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the Share Units will be forfeited.

(d)Treatment of Share Units in Event of Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control, the Share Units will be converted into a number of time-based restricted stock units (the “Resulting RSUs”), determined by applying the performance thresholds applicable to the Share Units as though the sum of (i) fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of the Change of Control and (ii) the value that would be derived from the number of Common Shares (including fractions thereof) that would have been purchased had an amount equal to each dividend paid on a Common Share after the Equity Grant Date

(1)The number is equal to the average of the closing prices of Common Shares during 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Equity Grant Date.

and on or prior to the applicable measurement date been deemed invested on the dividend payment date, based on the closing price of the Common Shares on such dividend payment date was the Adjusted Share Price, with the number of Resulting RSUs equal to the number of Share Units that would have vested based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through the Change of Control.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if termination following a Change of Control occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, the measurement date will still be the date of the Change of Control, but the Annual Compound TSR will be determined based on an assumed measurement period of one year.  The Resulting RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the Equity Grant Date, subject to your continued employment; provided that in the event of involuntary termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you with Good Reason within the twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, the vesting and payment of such Resulting RSUs will be accelerated to your Termination Date.  Any Share Units that did not become Resulting RSUs will be forfeited on a Change of Control.

3.COMMON SHARE OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS.  You agree to comply with any Common Share ownership requirements adopted by the Company applicable to you, which shall be on the same terms as similarly situated executives of the Company.

4.DISTRIBUTION OF COMMON SHARES.  The Company will deliver to you a number of Common Shares equal to the number of vested Share Units subject to your Award as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than forty five (45) days following the date of vesting.

5.NUMBER OF SHARES.   The number of Common Shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for capital adjustments, as provided in the Plan.  The Company will establish a bookkeeping account to reflect the number of Share Units standing to your credit from time to time.  However, you will not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to, any Common Shares subject to your Award (including but not limited to shareholder voting rights) unless and until the shares have been delivered to you in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.

6.DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.  The bookkeeping account maintained for the Award granted pursuant to this Agreement shall, until the vesting date or termination and cancellation or forfeiture of the Share Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, be allocated additional Share Units on the payment date of dividends on the Company’s Common Shares. Such dividends will be converted into additional Common Shares covered by the Share Units by dividing (i) the aggregate amount or value of the dividends paid with respect to that number of Common Shares equal to the number of shares covered by the Share Units by (ii) the Market Price per Common Share on the payment date for such dividend. Any such additional Share Units shall have the same vesting dates and vest in accordance with the same terms as the Share Units granted under this Agreement

7.COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.  This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations and related guidance, and shall in all respects be administered and interpreted in accordance with such requirements.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, settlement of vested Share Units to Common Shares may only be made under this Agreement upon an event or in a manner permitted by section 409A of the Code.  Settlement and delivery of Common Shares on account of a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code and, if you are a “specified employee” (as defined in section 409A of the Code and determined in the sole discretion of the Company in accordance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code) at the time of your separation from service, in no event may settlement and delivery of Common Shares on account of your separation from service occur prior to the

date which is six months following your separation from service.  In no event may you designate the calendar year of settlement and delivery of Common Shares.

8.SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.  You may not be issued any Common Shares under your Award unless the shares are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act of 1934 as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

9.RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS.  The Common Shares issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.

10.TRANSFERABILITY.  Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, will thereafter be entitled to receive any distribution of Common Shares pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.

11.AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT.  Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award will be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company, or on the part of the Company to continue such service.  In addition, nothing in your Award will obligate the Company, their respective shareholders, boards of directors or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an employee of the Company.

12.UNSECURED OBLIGATION.  Your Award is unfunded, and as a holder of a vested Share Unit, you will be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement.  You will not have voting or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Common Shares subject to your Award until such Common Shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.  Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

13.WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.  On or before the time you receive a distribution of Common Shares pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Shares, payroll and any other amounts payable or issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company which arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”).  Participant may direct the Company to (i) withhold, from Common Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Award, a portion of those Common Shares with an aggregate Market Price (defined as in Section 3 of the Plan but measured as of the delivery date) equal to the amount of the applicable withholding taxes; provided, however, that the number of such Common Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding tax rates, and (ii) make a cash payment equal to such fair market value directly to the appropriate taxing authorities, as provided in the Agreement.

14.NOTICES.  Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

15.HEADINGS.  The headings of the Sections in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement or to affect the meaning of this Agreement.

16.AMENDMENT.  Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company’s ability to exercise its discretionary authority pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan; provided, however, that no such action may, without your consent, adversely affect your rights under your Award and this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Company’s Board (or appropriate committee thereof) reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change will be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

17.MISCELLANEOUS.

MATCHING RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
(MATCHING UNITS)

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), hereby awards to Participant a Restricted Stock Unit Award in the form of matching share units (the “Matching Restricted Stock Units” or the “Award”), payable in common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), covering the number of Common Shares set forth below.  This Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions as set forth herein (the “Award Agreement”) and in the Plan, which is incorporated herein in its entirety.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in your Offer Letter, dated [  ] and if such terms are not so defined, the terms shall have the meanings.

Participant:

Date of Grant:

Number of Shares Subject to Award:

Purchase Period:

The details of your Award are as follows.

1.CONSIDERATION.   Consideration for this Award is satisfied by your services to the Company and your purchase and retention of the Purchased Shares (as defined in Section 2(b) of this Award Agreement).

2.VESTING.

(a)In General.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2(b) below), one-third (1/3rd) of the Award shall vest on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant and an additional one-third (1/3rd) of the Award shall vest each of the second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant, provided Participant is employed on the relevant vesting date.  Settlement of vested Awards shall be pursuant to Section 4 below.

(b)Additional Forfeiture Provisions.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a), if (i) prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, you sell (or otherwise dispose of in a manner not specifically approved by the Committee) any Purchased Shares or Net Shares (as defined in Section 3 of this Award Agreement) or (ii) prior to the date that is six months following the Date of Grant, you sell (or otherwise dispose of in a manner not specifically approved by the Compensation Committee) any Common Shares held by you, whether or not Purchased Shares, in either case, an equal number of unvested Matching Restricted Stock Units (up to the maximum number of Matching Restricted Stock Units unvested as of the date of sale or disposition) shall be forfeited with the Matching Restricted Stock Units

next scheduled to vest being forfeited first.  In addition, to the extent, following the Date of Grant, the Company becomes aware that you sold Common Shares in the six month period prior to the Date of Grant, such that, had the Company been aware of such sale prior to the Date of Grant, some or all of the Matching Restricted Stock Units would not have been granted to you pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, a number of Matching Restricted Stock Units (whether or not vested) equal to the number of Common Shares sold shall be forfeited, with the Matching Restricted Stock Units next scheduled to vest being forfeited first, and should it be determined that you were aware of such undisclosed sale or disposition at the time of the Grant Date, the Company may terminate your employment with the Company and its affiliates and such termination shall be deemed to be a termination for Cause for all purposes (including without limitation, for purposes of determining your right to separation pay under any agreement with the Company that you are a party to or any plan or policy of the Company and for purposes of determining the treatment of any Company equity awards that you may hold at the time of your termination).  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Purchased Shares” shall mean the Common Shares that you purchase during the Purchase Period (as set forth above), or if you exercise a previously granted option during the Purchase Period, a number of Common Shares acquired in connection with such exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price divided by the Market Price of a Common Share on the date of exercise; provided, however, that the aggregate number of Purchased Shares shall not exceed the number of Matching Restricted Stock Units granted to you hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, the net settlement of any previously granted equity awards to satisfy exercise price or tax withholding obligations shall not be considered a sale or other disposition of Common Shares for purposes of this Award Agreement.

(c)Notification Requirements.  You hereby agree to notify the Company of (i) any Common Shares that you sell prior to the date that is six months following the Date of Grant, (ii) any Purchased Shares that you sell prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, and (iii) any Net Shares (as defined in Section 3(a) of this Award Agreement) that you sell prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant and the Company, in its sole discretion, has the authority to determine whether such sale results in the forfeiture of any Matching Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement.  In addition, you agree that, through the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Purchased Shares and Net Shares shall be held with one or more brokers or institutions specified by the Company, that such broker or institution may provide information to the Company with respect to any transaction involving the Purchased Shares or Net Shares, and that the Company shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the actions or creditworthiness of such broker or institution.

(d)Vesting Acceleration. In the event that (i) your Continuous Service is terminated (x) by the Company for any reason other than on account of Cause or (y) by you for Good Reason, in either case within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control or (ii) your Continuous Service is terminated by the Company due to your death, then the Matching Restricted Stock Units will immediately vest and be settled in shares as soon as practicable (but not more than sixty (60) days) thereafter.

3.SALES RESTRICTION.

(a)In General.  Following the settlement of the vested Matching Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award in Common Shares pursuant to Section 4 of this Award

Agreement, you may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the “Net Shares” (as defined below) transferred to you upon settlement of such vested Matching Restricted Stock Units in Common Shares until the earliest of (i) three (3) years following the Date of Grant; (ii) a Change of Control; or (iii) the day immediately following your last day of employment.  You may be required to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.  In order to enforce the foregoing, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Shares until the end of such period, or place legends on stock certificates issued pursuant to the Plan restricting the transfer of such shares until the end of such period.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, the term “Net Shares” shall mean the net number of Common Shares transferred to you upon settlement of the vested Matching Restricted Stock Units after subtracting any such Common Shares withheld by the Company in payment of tax withholding obligations applicable to such settlement.

(b)Exception.  Notwithstanding the restrictions in this Award Agreement that do not permit you to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Purchased Shares, Common Shares or Net Shares, you are permitted to transfer any such shares without penalty under either of the foregoing circumstances: (i) you may contribute any such shares to a limited partnership where all partners are members of your family (“Family Limited Partnership”) or a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (“GRAT”) or a like-vehicle, provided that the Family Limited Partnership, GRAT, or like-vehicle (x) does not allow the shares to be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of during the applicable restricted period with respect to such shares, (y) in the case of a GRAT, you shall at all times remain the trustee of the GRAT, and (z) in the case of a Family Limited Partnership or such like-vehicle, you retain “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Act) of such shares; and (ii) you may pledge such shares as collateral for loans, provided that (A) you represent to the Company that you will not default or otherwise cause such collateral to be liquidated, transferred or sold during the applicable restricted period, (B) there is an independent reasonable basis to conclude that none of the shares used as collateral are likely to be sold to satisfy a debt during the applicable restricted period with respect to such shares, and (C) you agree to substitute other collateral for such shares (with collateral that is not Common Shares) in the event that such collateral would have to be liquidated, transferred or sold during the applicable restricted period with respect to such shares.

4.DISTRIBUTION OF COMMON SHARES.  The Company will deliver to you a number of Common Shares equal to (i) the number of Matching Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award that become vested in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement,  plus (ii) any Matching Restricted Stock Units resulting from dividend equivalents credited with respect to such Matching Restricted Stock Units in accordance with Section 6 of this Award Agreement, as soon as practicable (but, subject to Section 7(c)(vi) of the Plan regarding blackout restrictions, in any event no later than sixty (60) days) following the date on which such Matching Restricted Stock Units become vested; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Company terminates your service for Cause prior to the date on which the Common Shares are distributed to you, you shall forfeit any right to such distribution of Common Shares.

5.NUMBER OF SHARES.The number of Common Shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for capital adjustments, as provided in the Plan. The Company will establish a bookkeeping account to reflect the number of Matching Restricted Stock Units standing to your credit from time to time. However, you will not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to, any Common Shares subject to your Award (including but not limited to stockholder voting rights) unless and until the shares have been delivered to you in accordance with Section 4 of this Award Agreement.

6.DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. The bookkeeping account maintained for your Award shall, until the vesting date or termination and cancellation or forfeiture of the Matching Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, be allocated additional Matching Restricted Stock Units on the payment date of dividends on the Company’s Common Shares. Such dividends will be converted into additional Common Shares covered by the Matching Restricted Stock Units by dividing (i) the aggregate amount or value of the dividends paid with respect to that number of Common Shares equal to the number of shares covered by the Matching Restricted Stock Units by (ii) the Market Price per Common Share on the payment date for such dividend. Any such additional Matching Restricted Stock Units shall have the same vesting dates and vest in accordance with the same terms as the Matching Restricted Stock Units granted under this Award Agreement.

7.COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. The Award is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and shall be interpreted in accordance with section 409A of the Code and treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Date of Grant.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Plan that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of your termination of employment or service with the Company shall be made to you until your termination of employment or service constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of section 409A of the Code.  For purposes of this Award, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if you are a specified employee within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, then to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under section 409A of the Code, you shall not be entitled to any payments upon a termination of your employment or service until the earlier of:  (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of your separation from service or (ii) the date of your death.  Upon the expiration of the applicable waiting period set forth in the preceding sentence, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 7 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid to you in a lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days, following such expired period, and any remaining payments due under this Award will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any affiliate be liable to you on account of an Award’s failure to (i) qualify for favorable U.S. or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment under U.S. or foreign law, including, without limitation, section 409A of the Code.

8.SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any Common Shares under your Award unless the shares are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

9.RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS.The Common Shares issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.

10.TRANSFERABILITY.Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan, your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in the form prescribed by the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, will thereafter be entitled to receive any distribution of Common Shares pursuant to Section 4 of this Award Agreement.

11.AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award will be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company or an affiliate, or on the part of the Company or an affiliate to continue such service. In addition, nothing in your Award will obligate the Company or an affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an employee of the Company or an affiliate.

12.UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded and you will be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue Common Shares pursuant to this Award Agreement. You will not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Shares subject to your Award until such Common Shares are delivered to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Award Agreement. Upon such delivery, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Award Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

13.WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. On or before the time you receive a distribution of Common Shares pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Shares, payroll and any other amounts payable or issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any affiliate which arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”).  You may direct the Company to withhold Common Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date Common Shares are delivered pursuant to Section 4) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the number of such Common Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local

and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income.

14.NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

15.HEADINGS. The headings of the Sections in this Award Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not be deemed to constitute a part of this Award Agreement or to affect the meaning of this Award Agreement.

16.AMENDMENT.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Board (or appropriate committee thereof) reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Award Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change will be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

17.MISCELLANEOUS.

(5) years.  Except as set forth below, if your employment terminates for any reason prior to the vesting date, your unvested Options will be forfeited (and, in the case of a termination of your employment for Cause, your vested Options will also be forfeited).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, (i) if your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason (each as defined below), at any time within the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, then any Option that is not cancelled in connection with the Change in Control in exchange for cash payment will vest on the Termination Date (as defined below) and shall remain exercisable for one year following the Termination Date (but in no event beyond the 5-year term of the Option) and (ii) if your employment is terminated by reason of your death, any Option outstanding shall vest in full and remain exercisable for the remainder of the term of the Option.  The “Termination Date” shall be the date specified as the effective date of the termination of your employment in any notice of termination of employment provided by the Company to you or accepted by the Company in the event of your giving notice of the termination of your employment.

The Equity Grant Date shall be the earliest date that is five clear trading days following the trading date on which there is no undisclosed material information.  The exercise price of the Options shall be based on the volume weighted average pricing (“VWAP”) on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) or the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or other stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of the Shares occurs, for the five trading days immediately preceding such grant date, except that to the extent required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), the exercise price shall be based on the greater of (i) VWAP as calculated above or (ii) the VWAP on the TSX or NYSE or other stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of the Shares occurs, for the single trading day immediately preceding such grant date.

The Company shall enter into a stock option award agreement with you for the above grant of Options, incorporating the terms set forth in this Agreement and otherwise on the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s standard form of stock option award agreement.

Performance Restricted Share Units. Subject to shareholder approval of an increase in the number of performance awards that may be paid to an individual in any single year under the Plan, on the Equity Grant Date you will also receive 30,000 performance-based restricted stock units under the Plan (the “Performance Share Units”), which shall vest as follows, provided that, except as set forth herein, you are continually employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date:

2

(i)Single Vesting Share Price.

If at June 28, 2013, the Adjusted Share Price (as defined below) equals the Single Vesting Share Price (as defined below), you shall vest in 25% of the Performance Share Units.

If at September 28, 2013, the Adjusted Share Price equals the Single Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 50% of the Performance Share Units.

If at December 28, 2013, the Adjusted Share Price equals the Single Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 25% of the Performance Share Units.

(ii)Double Vesting Share Price.

If at June 28, 2013, the Adjusted Share Price equals the Double Vesting Share Price (as defined below), you shall vest in 50% of the Performance Share Units.

If at September 28, 2013, the Adjusted Share Price equals the Double Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 100% of the Performance Share Units.

If at December 28, 2013, the Adjusted Share Price equals the Double Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 50% of the Performance Share Units.

(iii)Triple Vesting Share Price.

If at June 28, 2013, the Adjusted Share Price equals the Triple Vesting Share Price (as defined below), you shall vest in 75% of the Performance Share Units.

If at September 28, 2013, the Adjusted Share Price equals the Triple Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 150% of the Performance Share Units.

3

If at December 28, 2013, the Adjusted Share Price equals the Triple Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in an additional 75% of the Performance Share Units.

(iv)Performance Share Units that could have been vested under either of paragraphs (i), (ii), or (iii) that do not become vested on June 28, 2013, September 28, 2013, or December 28, 2013, may become vested on June 28, 2014, September 28, 2014, or December 28, 2014, respectively, based upon the Adjusted Share Price on the applicable measurement date, provided that you are employed by the Company on such applicable vesting date. Any Performance Share Units that are not vested as of December 28, 2014 shall be immediately forfeited.

(v)If the Adjusted Share Price on a measurement date set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) is between the Single Vesting Share Price and the Double Vesting Share Price or is between the Double Vesting Share Price and the Triple Vesting Share Price, you shall vest in a number of Performance Share Units that is the mathematical linear interpolation between the number of Performance Share Units which would vest at defined ends of the applicable spectrum.

(vi)“Adjusted Share Price” means the sum of (i) the average of the closing prices of Shares during the 20 consecutive trading days starting on the specified measurement date (or if such measurement date does not fall on a trading day, the immediately following trading day) (“Average Share Price”), and (ii) the value that would be derived from the number of Shares (including fractions thereof) that would have been purchased had an amount equal to each dividend paid on a share of common stock after the Equity Grant Date and on or prior to the applicable measurement date been deemed invested on the dividend payment date, based on the closing price of the common stock on such dividend payment date.  The Adjusted Share Price and Average Share Price shall be subject to equitable adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and other capital adjustments.

(vii)“Single Vesting Share Price,” “Double Vesting Share Price” and “Triple Vesting Share Price” means the Adjusted Share Prices equal to a compound annual share price appreciation (the “Annual Compound TSR”) of 15%, 30% and 45%, respectively, as measured from a base price of $26.51 over a measurement period from October 25, 2010 to the last trading day of the period used to calculate the Adjusted Share Price. Such base price shall be subject to equitable adjustment to

4

reflect stock splits, stock dividends and other capital adjustments (such price, as adjusted, the “Base Price”).

(viii)Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting provisions of the Performance Share Units, if on any date between the Equity Grant Date and October 25, 2013, the average of the closing prices of Shares during 20 consecutive trading days (“Per Share Price”) on such date

(A) exceeds $58.24, then you will become vested in 30,000 of the Performance Share Units that could have been earned under clause (i) above;

(B) exceeds $80.82, then you will become vested in the additional 30,000 of the Performance Share Units that could have been earned under clause (ii) above; and

(C) exceeds $108.58, then you will become vested in the additional 30,000 of the Performance Share Units that could have been earned under clause (iii) above;

provided, however, that the vesting that takes place pursuant to this clause (viii) if the Per Share Price target is achieved shall only take place the first time such Per Share Price target is achieved on such vesting date, there is no interpolation of vesting pursuant to this clause (viii), and to vest in any of the Performance Share Units pursuant to this clause (viii) you must remain employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date. The Per Share Price specified herein shall be subject to equitable adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and other capital adjustments.

(ix)The Company shall distribute to you a number of shares of its common stock equal to the number of Performance Shares Units that become vested as soon as practicable (but in any event no later than 45 days) following the vesting date of such Performance Shares Units.

(x)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event of your death, the performance measures applicable to the Performance Share Units will be applied as though the date of death was the end of the 20 consecutive trading-day average measurement period, with the number of units calculated in a manner consistent with the vesting schedule described above, but based on the Annual Compound TSR

5

determined through the date of death.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if death occurs prior to October 25, 2011, the measurement date will still be the date of death, but the Annual Compound TSR will be determined based on an assumed measurement period of one year. Any Performance Share Units that did not become vested prior to the date of death for a reason set forth in this clause (x) or that do not become vested as a result of this clause (x) shall be forfeited immediately following the date of death.

(xi)Subject to clause (xii) below, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event of an involuntary termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you with Good Reason, or in the event of your Disability (each as defined below), in each case, following October 25, 2011, the performance measures applicable to the Performance Share Units will be applied as though your employment Termination Date was the end of the 20 consecutive trading-day average measurement period, with the number of units calculated in a manner consistent with the vesting schedule described above, but based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through your Termination Date, provided, however, only a pro rata portion of such calculated Performance Share Units will vest upon termination.  Any Performance Share Units that did not become vested prior to your termination of employment for a reason set forth in this clause (xi) or that do not become vested as a result of this clause (xi) shall be forfeited immediately following the date of your termination of employment.  In the event of a termination of employment for a reason set forth in this clause (xi) that occurs prior to October 25, 2011, the award of Performance Share Units shall be forfeited.

(xii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, the Performance Share Units will be converted into a number of time-based restricted stock units (the “Resulting RSUs”) determined by applying the performance measures applicable to the Performance Share Units as though the sum of (i) fair market value of the Company common stock on the date of the Change in Control and (ii) the value that would be derived from the number of Shares (including fractions thereof) that would have been purchased had an amount equal to each dividend paid on a share of common stock after the Equity Grant Date and on or prior to the applicable measurement date been deemed invested on the dividend payment date, based on the closing price of the common stock on such dividend payment date was the Adjusted Share Price, with the number of Resulting RSUs equal to the number of Performance Share Units that would have vested based on the Annual Compound TSR determined through the Change in

6

Control.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if termination following a Change in Control occurs prior to October 25, 2011, the measurement date will still be the date of Change in Control, but the Annual Compound TSR will be determined based on an assumed measurement period of one year.  The Resulting RSUs will vest on October 25, 2013, subject to your continued employment; provided that in the event of an involuntary termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you with Good Reason within the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the vesting and payment of such Resulting RSUs will be accelerated to your Termination Date.  Any Performance Share Units that did not become Resulting RSUs shall be forfeited on the Change in Control.  Any Resulting RSUs that did not become vested prior to your termination of employment for a reason set forth in this clause (xii) or that do not become vested as a result of this clause (xii) shall be forfeited immediately following the date of your termination of employment.

(xiii)The Company shall enter into a restricted share unit award agreement with you for the above grant of Performance Share Units, incorporating the terms set forth in this Agreement and otherwise on the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s standard form of performance-based restricted share unit award agreement.

Additional Forfeiture Restrictions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, 36,000 of your Options and 18,000 of your Performance Share Units will be forfeited (such that the target number of Performance Share Units will be reduced from 30,000 to 12,000 and all references in this letter agreement to 30,000 Performance Share Units will change to 12,000 Performance Share Units), for no consideration, on October 1, 2011, and all conforming adjustments (including reductions in amounts that vest on certain dates or upon certain conditions) shall be made to the applicable terms of such Options and Performance Share Units, if you do not fully assume the role of either President or Chief Operating Officer of Biovail Laboratories International SRL resident in Barbados prior to such date.

Share Ownership Commitment.  You also agree to comply with any share ownership requirements adopted by the Company applicable to you, which shall be on the same terms as similarly situated executives of the Company.

Matching Grants for Share Purchases. In connection with such share ownership, you shall also be eligible to receive matching share units to the extent such a program is established by the Company for similarly situated executives of the Company.

·Good Reason. You may terminate your employment for Good Reason (as defined below) by delivering to the Company a Notice of Termination (as defined below) not less than thirty (30) days prior to the termination of your employment for Good Reason. The Company shall have the option of terminating your duties and responsibilities prior to the expiration of such thirty-day notice period, subject to the payment by the Company of the benefits provided in this letter, as may be applicable. For purposes of this letter, Good Reason shall mean the occurrence of any of the events or conditions described in clauses (i) through (iii) immediately below which are not cured by the Company (if susceptible to cure by the Company) within thirty (30) days after the Company has received written notice from you which notice must be provided by you within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the event or condition constituting Good Reason specifying the particular events or conditions which constitute Good Reason and the specific cure requested by you; provided, however, that in no event shall any change in your title, duties, responsibilities, or compensation as a result of your failing to fully assume the role of either President or Chief Operating Officer of Biovail Laboratories International SRL resident in Barbados prior to October 1, 2011 constitute Good Reason under this letter agreement or otherwise.

(i)Diminution of Responsibility. (A) any material reduction in your duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior thereto, or (B) removal of you from your position. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Diminution of Responsibility” shall not include any such removal resulting from a promotion, your death or Disability, the termination of your employment for Cause, or your termination of your employment other than for Good Reason;

(ii)Compensation Reduction. Any reduction in your base salary or target bonus opportunity which is not comparable to reductions in the base salary or target bonus opportunity of other similarly-situated senior executives at the Company; or

(iii)Company Breach. Any other material breach by the Company of any material provision of this letter.

·Change in Control.   For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean any of the following events:

(i)the acquisition (other than from the Company, by any person (as such term is defined in Section 13(c) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;

8

(ii)the individuals who, as of the date hereof, are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Board, and such new director shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or

(iii)the closing of:

1.a merger or consolidation involving the Company if the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger or consolidation, do not, as a result of such merger or consolidation, own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately before such merger or consolidation; or

2.a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur pursuant to this letter, solely because fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in the same proportion as their ownership of stock in the Company immediately prior to such acquisition.

For purposes of this letter, “Disability” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan.

(iii)Your right to reimbursement (or in-kind benefits) cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit or payment.

10

·At-Will Employment. Your employment with the Company is “at will”. This means that you or the Company have the option to terminate your employment at any time, with or without advance notice, and with or without cause. This offer of employment does not constitute an express or implied agreement of continuing or long term employment. The at will nature of your employment can be altered only by a written agreement specifying the altered status of your employment. Such written agreement must be signed by both you and the Chief Executive Officer.

·Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding bullet paragraph, if your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, the Company shall have the following obligations:

(i)The Company will pay you an amount equal to 1.6 times your annual salary as of the date of your termination, provided that, if your termination occurs either in contemplation of a Change in Control or at any time within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the Company shall instead pay you an amount equal to two times the sum of (A) your annual salary as of the date of termination, plus (B) your annual target bonus as of the date of your termination.

(ii)The Company will pay you any accrued but unpaid salary or vacation pay and any deferred compensation. In addition, the Company will pay you any bonus earned but unpaid in respect of any fiscal year preceding the Termination Date. The Company will also pay you a bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, as though you had continued in employment until the payment of bonuses by the Company to its executives for such fiscal year, in an amount equal to the product of (A) the lesser of (x) the bonus that you would have been entitled to receive based on actual achievement against the stated performance objectives or (y) the bonus that you would have been entitled to receive assuming that the applicable performance objectives for such fiscal year were achieved at “target”, and (B) a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year through Termination Date and (ii) the denominator of which is 365; provided that, if your termination occurs either in contemplation of a Change in Control or at any time within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, then in the foregoing calculation the amount under (A) shall be equal to (y). Any bonus payable to you under this bullet shall be paid in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs.

(iii)The Company will provide you with continued coverage under any health, medical, dental or vision program or policy in which you were eligible to participate at the time of your employment termination for 12 months following such termination on terms no less favorable to you and your dependents (including with respect to payment for the costs thereof) than those in effect immediately prior to such termination.

(iv)The Company shall provide outplacement services through one or more outside firms of your choosing up to an aggregate of $20,000, which services shall extend until the

11

earlier of (i) 12 months following the termination of your employment or (ii) the date that you secure full time employment.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to pay or provide any of the severance benefits set forth in this letter and shall have no obligations to you in respect of the termination of your employment save and except for obligations that are expressly established by applicable employment standards legislation unless you execute and deliver, within 60 days of the date of your termination, and do not revoke, a general release in form satisfactory to the Company and any revocation period set forth in the release has lapsed. The Company shall pay all cash severance benefits due within 10 business days following the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence. You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any severance payment provided for under this letter by seeking other employment or otherwise and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to you in any subsequent employment.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of your execution of the general release, directly or indirectly, result in you designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the general release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.

It is understood that, during your employment by the Company, you will not engage in any activities that constitute a conflict of interest with the interests of the Company, as outlined in the Company’s conflict of interest policies for employees and executives in effect from time to time.

·Covenant Not to Solicit. To protect the confidential information and other trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates, you agree, during your employment with the Company or any of its affiliates and for a period of twelve (12) months after your cessation of employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, not to solicit, attempt to solicit, or participate in or assist in any way in the solicitation or attempted solicitation of any employees or independent contractors of the Company or any its affiliates. For purposes of this covenant, “solicit” or “solicitation” means directly or indirectly influencing or attempting to influence employees of the Company or any of its affiliates to become employed with any other person, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity. You agree that the covenants contained in this paragraph are reasonable and necessary to protect the confidential information and other trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates, provided, that solicitation through general advertising or the provision of references shall not constitute a breach of such obligations.

12

·Remedies for Breach of Obligations Under the Covenants Not to Solicit Above. It is the intent and desire of you and the Company (and its affiliates) that the restrictive provisions in the paragraph captioned “Covenant Not to Solicit” above be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies as applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provision in such paragraph shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such covenant shall be amended, without any action on the part of either party hereto, to delete therefrom the portion so determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. Your obligations under the two preceding paragraphs shall survive the termination of your employment with or any other employment arrangement with the Company or any of its affiliates.  You acknowledge that the Company or its affiliates will suffer irreparable injury, not readily susceptible of valuation in monetary damages, if you breach your obligations under the paragraph captioned “Covenant Not to Solicit” above. Accordingly, you agree that the Company and its affiliates will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to obtain injunctive relief against any breach or prospective breach by you of your obligations under either such paragraph in any Federal or state court sitting in the State of New Jersey, or, at the Company’s (or its affiliate’s) election, in any other state or jurisdiction in which you maintain your principal residence or your principal place of business. You agree that the Company or its affiliates may seek the remedies described in the preceding sentence notwithstanding any arbitration or mediation agreement that you may enter into with the Company or any of its affiliates. You hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of all those courts for the purposes of any actions or proceedings instituted by the Company or its affiliates to obtain that injunctive relief, and you agree that process in any or all of those actions or proceedings may be served by registered mail, addressed to the last address provided by you to the Company or its affiliates, or in any other manner authorized by law.

·Indemnification.  You shall be indemnified by the Company as provided in its by-laws or, if applicable, pursuant to an indemnification agreement with the Company if such agreement are provided to similarly situated executives.

·Section 409A. The parties intend for the payments and benefits under this Agreement to be exempt from Section 409A or, if not so exempt, to be paid or provided in a manner which complies with the requirements of such section, and intend that this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. Any payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception or another exception under Section 409A shall be paid under the applicable exception.  For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this letter during the six-month period immediately following your separation from service shall instead be paid on the first

13

business day after the date that is six months following your Termination Date (or death, if earlier), with interest from the date such amounts would otherwise have been paid at the short-term applicable federal rate, compounded semi-annually, as determined under Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the month in which payment would have been made but for the delay in payment required to avoid the imposition of an additional rate of tax on you under Section 409A.

It is understood that you are required to read, review, agree, sign and return the following documents included with this letter: 1) the Confidentiality Agreement and Schedule, and 2) the Standards of Business Conduct.

Policies of the Company will govern any other matter not specifically covered by this letter.

Except as specifically described in the following sentence, the terms of this letter constitute the entire agreement between the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior agreements and negotiations, including, without limitation, the terms of the Employment Offer Letter, dated April 2, 2010, between Valeant Pharmaceuticals International and you.  For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of any prior equity awards previously granted to you shall not be deemed to apply to the Options and Performance Share Units granted hereunder and any such prior equity awards shall remain subject to the terms in effect in accordance with the terms of such awards.  This letter is governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey.  All currency amounts set forth in the letter agreement refer to U.S. dollars.

• (1)

  On March 9, 2011, the Company's compensation committee of the board of directors approved an equitable adjustment to all stock options outstanding as of that date for employees and directors as of such date, in connection with the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share declared on November 4, 2010 and paid on December 22, 2010. As the Company's stock option awards do not automatically adjust for dividend payments, this adjustment was treated as a modification of the terms and conditions of the outstanding options. The incremental fair value of the modified awards was determined to be $15.4 million, of which $9.2 million related to vested options, which was expensed as of March 9, 2011 as follows: cost of goods sold ($0.2 million), selling, general and administrative expenses ($8.8 million) and research and development expenses ($0.2 million). The remaining $6.2 million is being recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the unvested options.

  Includes the excess of the fair value of Biovail stock options and time-based RSUs over the fair value of the vested and partially vested Valeant stock options and time-based RSUs of $20.9 million (as described in note 3), which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation expense and allocated as follows: cost of goods sold ($0.4 million), research and development expenses ($0.4 million), and selling, general and administrative expenses ($20.1 million).

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

26.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

• Business Segments

  Effective with the Merger, the Company operates in the following business segments, based on differences in products and services and geographical areas of operations:

  • •

    U.S. Neurology and Other consists of sales of pharmaceutical products indicated for the treatment of neurological and other diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products the Company developed or acquired. In addition, this segment includes revenue from contract research services provided by CRD prior to its disposal in July 2010.

    •

    U.S. Dermatology consists of pharmaceutical and OTC product sales, and alliance and contract service revenues in the areas of dermatology and topical medication.

    •

    Canada and Australia consists of pharmaceutical and OTC products primarily sold in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

    •

    Branded Generics — Europe consists primarily of branded generic pharmaceutical products, as well as OTC products and agency/in-licensing arrangements with other research-based pharmaceutical companies (where the Company distributes and markets branded, patented products under long-term, renewable contracts). Products are sold primarily in Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Croatia and Russia.

    •

    Branded Generics — Latin America consists of branded generic pharmaceutical and OTC products sold primarily in Mexico and Brazil and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets.

• Segment profit is based on operating income after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs and legal settlement and acquired IPR&D charges, are not included in the measure of segment profit, as management excludes these items in assessing financial performance.

  Corporate includes the finance, treasury, tax and legal operations of the Company's businesses and maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, expenses, gains and losses related to the overall management of the Company, which are not allocated to the other business segments. In addition, share-based compensation is considered a corporate cost, since the amount of such expense depends on company-wide performance rather than the operating performance of any single segment.

• (1)

  In connection with the issuance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes in June 2009 (as described in note 14), the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of $14.6 million for the original basis difference between the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes and the value allocated to the liability component, which resulted in a corresponding reduction to the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. The recognition of the deferred tax liability and the corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance were recorded as offsetting adjustments to additional paid-in capital. In the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the deferred tax benefit recognized in earnings as the debt discount was amortized or extinguished was offset by the deferred tax expense related to the corresponding realization of the deferred tax assets.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Dec. 31, 2011

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

• Basis of Presentation

  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in United States ("U.S.") dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis.

  As described in note 3, the Merger has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Biovail was both the legal and accounting acquirer in the Merger. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Valeant from the Merger Date.

  Principles of Consolidation

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

  The Company has entered into collaboration and license arrangements with other entities for various products under development. These arrangements typically include upfront and contingent milestone and royalty payments. All such arrangements were determined not to be variable interests in the entities. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the financial results of any of these entities.

  Reclassifications

  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation.

  Acquisitions

  Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value, with limited exceptions. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") is recognized at fair value and initially characterized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use. If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date.

  Use of Estimates

  In preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include: provisions for product returns, rebates and chargebacks; useful lives of amortizable intangible assets; expected future cash flows used in evaluating intangible assets for impairment; reporting unit fair values in testing goodwill for impairment; provisions for loss contingencies; provisions for income taxes and realizability of deferred tax assets; and the allocation of the purchase price of acquired assets and businesses, including the fair value of contingent consideration. Under certain product manufacturing and supply agreements, management relies on estimates for future returns, rebates and chargebacks made by the Company's commercialization counterparties. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company's business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company's consolidated financial statements could be materially impacted.

  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short maturity periods. The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is based on estimated discounted future cash flows and assessment of the probability of occurrence of potential future events. The fair values of marketable securities and long-term debt are based on quoted market prices, if available, or estimated discounted future cash flows.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

  Cash and cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, treasury bills, certain money-market funds, term deposits and investment-grade commercial paper with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

  Marketable Securities

  Marketable debt securities are classified as being available-for-sale. These securities are reported at fair value with all unrealized gains and temporary unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Other-than-temporary credit losses that represent a decrease in the cash flows expected to be collected on these securities are recognized in net income. Other-than-temporary non-credit losses related to all other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income, if the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of these securities are recognized in net income. The cost of securities sold, and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings, is calculated using the specific identification method, if determinable, otherwise the average cost method is applied. The amortization of acquisition premiums or discounts is recorded as a deduction from or addition to interest income earned on these securities.

  Concentrations of Credit Risk

  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable.

  The Company invests its excess cash in high-quality, liquid money market instruments with varying maturities, but typically less than three months. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its cash or cash equivalents.

  In 2011, the Company's marketable securities portfolio includes investment-grade corporate enterprise fixed income debt securities that mature within one year. In 2010, the Company's marketable securities portfolio included investment-grade corporate, government or government-sponsored enterprise fixed income debt securities with a maximum term to maturity of three years.

  The Company's accounts receivable primarily arise from product sales in the U.S. and Europe and primarily represent amounts due from wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, government entities and group purchasing organizations. Outside of the U.S., concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables, which are typically unsecured, are limited due to the number of customers using the Company's products, as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of customers and does not require collateral. The Company monitors economic conditions, including volatility associated with international economies, and related impacts on the relevant financial markets and its business, especially in light of sovereign credit issues. The credit and economic conditions within Italy, Portugal, Spain and Greece, among other members of the European Union, have deteriorated. These conditions have increased, and may continue to increase, the average length of time that it takes to collect on the Company's accounts receivable outstanding in these countries. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based on the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts experience, and changes in customer payment patterns. Accounts receivables balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected.

  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company's three largest U.S. wholesaler customers accounted for 32% and 46% of net trade receivables, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company's net trade receivable balance from Greece amounted to $7.2 million and has been outstanding for less than one year. The portion of the Greece receivables past due more than 90 days is negligible. As of December 31, 2011, the Company does not have any outstanding trade receivable balances from Italy, Portugal or Spain. The Company has not experienced any significant losses from uncollectible accounts in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011.

  Inventories

  Inventories comprise raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, which are valued at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost for work in process and finished goods inventories includes materials, direct labor, and an allocation of overheads. Market for raw materials is replacement cost, and for work in process and finished goods is net realizable value.

  The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventories on a regular basis, taking into account such factors as historical and anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, the price the Company expects to obtain for products in their respective markets compared with historical cost and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand.

  Property, Plant and Equipment

  Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred on assets under construction are capitalized as construction in progress. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, commencing when the assets become available for productive use, based on the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	Up to 40 years
Machinery and equipment	3 - 20 years
Other equipment	3 - 10 years
Leasehold improvements and capital leases	Lesser of term of lease or 10 years

• Intangible Assets

  Intangible assets are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

Product brands	1 - 25 years
Corporate brands	4 - 20 years
Product rights	1 - 20 years
Partner relationships	3 - 8 years
Out-licensed technology and other	4 - 10 years

• IPR&D

  The fair value of IPR&D acquired through a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the completion or abandonment of the related research and development activities. When the related research and development is completed, the asset will be assigned a useful life and amortized.

  The fair value of an IPR&D intangible asset is determined using an income approach. This approach starts with a forecast of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. The net cash flows reflect the asset's stage of completion, the probability of technical success, the projected costs to complete, expected market competition, and an assessment of the asset's life cycle. The net cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams.

  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

  Long-lived assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Indicators of potential impairment include: an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; an adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, or in its physical condition; and current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the asset is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows.

  Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including acquired IPR&D, are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment losses on indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized based solely on a comparison of the fair value of the asset to its carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability test.

  Goodwill

  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment.

  The Company operates in the following business segments: U.S. Neurology and Other; U.S. Dermatology; Canada and Australia; Branded Generics — Europe; and Branded Generics — Latin America. Each of the U.S. Neurology and Other, U.S. Dermatology and Branded Generics — Europe segments consist of one reporting unit. The Canada and Australia segment consists of two geographical reporting units. Similarly, the Branded Generics — Latin America segment consists of two reporting units based on geography, namely Mexico and Brazil. The Company estimated the fair values of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis approach. These calculations contain uncertainties as they require us to make assumptions about future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined that none of the goodwill associated with its reporting units was impaired.

  Deferred Financing Costs

  Deferred financing costs are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are recorded in other long-term assets. Amortization expense is included in interest expense.

  Derivative Financial Instruments

  From time to time, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to market risks, including foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor does it enter into trades for which there is no underlying exposure. Derivative financial instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments based on whether they meet the criteria for designation as hedging transactions, either as cash flow, net investment, or fair value hedges. Depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of a hedged item are either offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Company did not hold any derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

  Foreign Currency Translation

  The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and at the average exchange rate for the reporting period for revenue and expense accounts. The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.

  Foreign currency exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than an operation's functional currency are recognized in net income.

  Revenue Recognition

  Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

  Product Sales

  Product sales revenue is recognized when title has transferred to the customer and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Amounts received from customers as prepayments for products to be shipped in the future are recorded in deferred revenue.

  Revenue from product sales is recognized net of provisions for estimated discounts, allowances, returns, rebates and chargebacks. The Company offers discounts for prompt payment and other incentive allowances to customers. Provisions for discounts and allowances are estimated based on contractual sales terms with customers and historical payment experience. The Company allows customers to return product within a specified period of time before and after its expiration date. Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical return levels, taking into account additional available information on competitive products and contract changes. The Company has data sharing agreements with the three largest wholesalers in the U.S. Where the Company does not have data sharing agreements, it uses third-party data to estimate the level of product inventories and product demand at wholesalers and retail pharmacies. The Company reviews its methodology and adequacy of the provision for returns on a quarterly basis, adjusting for changes in assumptions, historical results and business practices, as necessary. The Company is subject to rebates on sales made under governmental and commercial rebate programs, and chargebacks on sales made to government agencies, retail pharmacies and group purchasing organizations. Provisions for rebates and chargebacks are estimated based on historical experience, relevant statutes with respect to governmental pricing programs, and contractual sales terms.

  The Company is party to manufacturing and supply agreements with a number of commercialization counterparties in the U.S. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company's supply prices for its products are determined after taking into consideration estimates for future returns, rebates, and chargebacks provided by each counterparty. The Company makes adjustments as needed to state these estimates on a basis consistent with this policy, and its methodology for estimating returns, rebates and chargebacks related to its own direct product sales.

  Alliance and Royalty

  The Company earns royalties and profit share revenue as a result of the licensing of product rights to third parties. Royalties and profit share revenue are earned at the time the related product is sold by the licensee based on the terms of the specific licensing agreement and when the Company has no future obligations with respect to the royalty or profit share. The Company relies on financial information provided by licensees to estimate the amounts due to it under the related agreements.

  Service and Other

  Service revenue attributable to the performance of contract services is recognized as the services are performed, under the proportionate performance method of revenue recognition. Performance is measured based on units-of-work performed relative to total units-of-work contracted. Units-of-work is generally measured based on hours spent.

  For clinical research services provided by the Company's contract research division ("CRD") prior to its disposal in July 2010 (as described in note 6), units-of-work was generally measured in terms of bed night stays, and for laboratory-testing services, units-of-work was generally measured in terms of numbers of samples analyzed.

  Research and Development Expenses

  Costs related to internal research and development programs, including costs associated with the development of acquired IPR&D, are expensed as goods are delivered or services are performed. Under certain research and development arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, milestone payments made to third parties are expensed when the milestone is achieved. Milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the approved product.

  Amounts due from third parties as reimbursement of development activities conducted under certain research and development arrangements are recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses.

  Legal Costs

  Legal fees and other costs related to litigation and other legal proceedings are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Legal costs expensed are reported net of expected insurance recoveries. A claim for insurance recovery is recognized when the claim becomes probable of realization.

  Advertising Costs

  Advertising costs comprise product samples, print media and promotional materials. Advertising costs related to new product launches are expensed on the first use of the advertisement. The Company did not have any deferred advertising costs recorded as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.

  Advertising costs expensed in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $106.3 million, $29.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

  Share-Based Compensation

  The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted share units ("RSUs"), at estimated fair value. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock option or RSU grants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual stock option or RSU grant, which generally equals the vesting period. Stock option and RSU forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

  The fair value of deferred share units ("DSUs") granted to non-management directors is recognized as compensation expense at the grant date, and a DSU liability is recorded in accrued liabilities. The fair value of the DSU liability is remeasured at each reporting date, with a corresponding adjustment to compensation expense in the reporting period.

  Share-based compensation is recorded in cost of goods sold, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring and other costs, as appropriate.

  Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

  Acquisition-related contingent consideration, which consists primarily of potential milestone payments and royalty obligations, is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at its acquisition date estimated fair value, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Changes in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations result from several factors including changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified milestone criteria. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in fair value measurement accounting.

  Interest Expense

  Interest expense includes standby fees and the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs. Interest costs are expensed as incurred, except to the extent such interest is related to construction in progress, in which case interest is capitalized. The Company did not capitalize any interest costs in 2011, 2010 or 2009.

  Income Taxes

  Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to remain unrealized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws.

  The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions are classified as long-term unless expected to be paid within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in the provision for income taxes and classified with the related liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

  Earnings Per Share

  Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period after giving effect to dilutive potential common shares for stock options, RSUs and convertible debt, determined using the treasury stock method.

  Comprehensive Income

  Comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income comprises foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized temporary holding gains or losses on available-for-sale investments, and the non-credit component of other-than-temporary losses on marketable debt securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income is recorded as a component of shareholders' equity.

  Contingencies

  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as claims and assessments arising from litigation and other legal proceedings, contractual indemnities, product and environmental liabilities, and tax matters. Accruals for loss contingencies are recorded when the Company determines that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If the estimate of the amount of the loss is a range and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued as a liability. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued as a liability.

  Adoption of New Accounting Standards

  Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the following accounting standards:

  •

  Guidance on the recognition and classification of fees imposed on pharmaceutical manufacturers under the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

  •

  Guidance recognizing the milestone method of revenue recognition as a valid application of the proportional performance model when applied to research and development arrangements.

  •

  Amendments to the recognition and measurement guidance for multiple-element revenue arrangements.

• The adoption of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

  The Company will adopt the provisions of the following new accounting standards effective January 1, 2012:

  •

  Guidance that results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

  •

  Guidance requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. This guidance does not change the components of other comprehensive income or the calculation of earnings per share. The effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income has been deferred. As the guidance relates only to the presentation of other comprehensive income, the adoption of this accounting standard will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

  •

  Guidance is intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing, by allowing an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

22.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

• Earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were calculated as follows:

	2011		2010			2009
Net income (loss)	$	159,559	$	(208,193	)	$	176,455
Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (000s)		304,655		195,808			158,236
Dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs (000s)		8,484		—			274
Dilutive effect of convertible debt (000s)		12,980		—			—
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (000s)		326,119		195,808			158,510
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.52	$	(1.06	)	$	1.11
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.49	$	(1.06	)	$	1.11

• In 2010, all stock options, RSUs and Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive, as it would have reduced the loss per share. The potential dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and Convertible Notes on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was as follows:

	2010
Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (000s)		195,808
Dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs (000s)		2,774
Dilutive effect of Convertible Notes (000s)		6,947
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (000s)		205,529

• As the Company's intent and policy is to settle the Convertible Notes using a net share settlement approach, only the common shares potentially issuable with respect to the excess conversion value of the Convertible Notes over their principal amount were considered as dilutive potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. In 2009, the average conversion value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes was less than the related principal amount, and, accordingly, no common shares were assumed to be issued for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

  In 2011, 2010 and 2009, stock options to purchase approximately 271,000, 1,465,000 and 2,950,000 weighted-average common shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the Company's common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

  In connection with the issuance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes in June 2009 (as described in note 14), the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of $14.6 million for the original basis difference between the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes and the value allocated to the liability component, which resulted in a corresponding reduction to the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. The recognition of the deferred tax liability and the corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance were recorded as offsetting adjustments to additional paid-in capital. In the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the deferred tax benefit recognized in earnings as the debt discount was amortized or extinguished was offset by the deferred tax expense related to the corresponding realization of the deferred tax assets.

• • In 2011 and 2010, the repurchase of $205.0 million and $126.3 million principal amount of the U.S. dollar-denominated 5.375% Convertible Notes, respectively, resulted in a foreign exchange gain for Canadian income tax purposes of approximately $24.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively. The payment of the remaining balance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes will likely result in a foreign exchange gain or loss for Canadian income tax purposes. The amount of this gain or loss will depend on the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar at the time the 5.375% Convertible Notes are paid. As of December 31, 2011, the unrealized foreign exchange gain on the translation of the remaining principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes to Canadian dollars for Canadian income tax purposes was approximately $1.6 million.

  The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient domestic and foreign taxable income in the years that the temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance has been provided for the portion of the deferred tax assets that the Company determined is more likely than not to remain unrealized based on estimated future taxable income and tax planning strategies. In 2011, the valuation allowance decreased by $57.7 million. The net decrease in valuation allowance resulted from the Company's decision to write off U.S. federal and state net operating losses which were limited as a result of the Merger ($64.1 million decrease in the valuation allowance), offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for Canadian tax loss carryforwards of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The net increase of $32.4 million in valuation allowance for 2010 resulted from the limitation on the Company's use of U.S. federal and state net operating losses resulting from the Merger ($45.5 million increase in the valuation allowance), and the impact of foreign exchange rates on the reported value in U.S. dollars of Canadian tax loss carryforwards, Investment Tax Credits ("ITCs"), and pooled Scientific Research and Experimental Development ("SR&ED") expenditures ($33.8 million increase in the valuation allowance) offset by the partial recognition of future benefits of Canadian tax loss carryforwards, ITCs, and pooled SR&ED expenditures of $46.9 million recognized to the extent of deferred tax liabilities arising from the Merger. Given the Company's history of pre-tax losses and expected future losses in Canada, the Company determined there was insufficient objective evidence to release the remaining valuation allowance against Canadian tax loss carryforwards, ITCs and pooled SR&ED expenditures.

  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had accumulated losses of approximately $318.1 million (2010 — $154.8 million) available for federal and provincial tax purposes in Canada. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $62.8 million (2010 — $66.2 million) of unclaimed Canadian ITCs and U.S. research and development credits, which expire from 2020 to 2030. These losses and ITCs can be used to offset future years' taxable income and federal tax, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company had pooled SR&ED expenditures amounting to approximately $248.3 million (2010 — $282.9 million) available to offset against future years' taxable income from its Canadian operations, which may be carried forward indefinitely. The valuation allowance against the Canadian deferred tax assets is $124.6 million (2010 — $118.2 million).

  As of December 31, 2011, the Company has accumulated tax losses of approximately $512.1 million (2010 — $672.6 million) for federal purposes in the U.S., including pre-acquisition losses arising from the Merger of $332.2 million, which expire from 2021 to 2028 of which $185.9 million of the NOLs are subject to annual loss limitation restrictions. In 2010 a valuation allowance of $68.2 million had been provided on U.S. federal and state losses. However, management has determined the losses subject to limitation restrictions should be written off and the corresponding valuation allowance reversed as of December 31, 2011. The Company's accumulated losses are subject to annual limitations as a result of previous ownership changes that have occurred. Included in the $512.1 million of tax losses is approximately $13.5 million of losses related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards.

  The Company accrues for U.S. tax on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that are owned by the Company's U.S. subsidiaries. Prior to the Merger, the Company asserted that the unremitted earnings of its Barbados subsidiaries would be permanently reinvested. The Company discontinued making this assertion as of December 31, 2010, but such change did not affect the Company's deferred tax liabilities since the Barbados earnings can be repatriated to Canada without incurring additional tax. The Company continues to assert that the unremitted earnings of its U.S. subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested and not repatriated to Canada. As of December 31, 2011 the Company estimates there would be no Canadian tax liability attributable to the permanently reinvested U.S. earnings.

  As of December 31, 2011, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) was $102.3 million (2010 — $110.9 million), of which $67.3 million (2010 — $75.9 million) would affect the effective tax rate. In the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a $2.7 million (2010 — $10.1 million) increase and a $11.3 million (2010 — $15.6 million) net decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in the current and prior years, respectively, which have resulted in a corresponding decrease to current tax expense.

  The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2011, approximately $23.0 million (2010 — $20.5 million) was accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. In the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $2.5 million (2010 — $3.4 million) in interest and penalties.

  The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries file federal income tax returns in Canada, the U.S., Barbados, and other foreign jurisdictions, as well as various provinces and states in Canada and the U.S. The Company and its subsidiaries have open tax years primarily from 1996 to 2010 with significant taxing jurisdictions including Barbados, Canada, and the U.S. These open years contain certain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations, and tax treaties, as they relate to the amount, timing, or inclusion of revenues and expenses, or the sustainability of income tax positions of the Company and its subsidiaries. Certain of these tax years are expected to remain open indefinitely.

  In 2011, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") closed their examination of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International's consolidated tax returns for the 2007 and 2008 tax years as well as Biovail Americas Corporation consolidated federal income tax return for the 2009 tax year. The Valeant Pharmaceuticals International consolidated federal income tax return is currently under examination by the IRS for the 2009 tax year. Additionally, the Company has been informed that the Valeant Pharmaceuticals International consolidated return for the 2010 short tax year and the Biovail Americas Corporation consolidated federal return for the 2010 tax year will be under examination. In 2011, the Canadian Revenue Agency ("CRA") continued its audit of the Company's Canadian income tax returns for tax years 2005 to 2008, and claims for SR&ED expenditures and related ITCs for the 2006 and 2007 taxation years. The CRA has made proposals for audit adjustments to the Company for its examinations of tax years 2003 to 2004 and 2005 to 2006. The Company has reviewed the proposed adjustments and is assessing our response. While the matters have not been settled, the Company continues to maintain a liability for uncertain tax positions on these proposed adjustments. As a result of audits and statutes of limitation the Company estimates that up to $10.0 million of its uncertain tax positions may be realized.

  The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits:

	2011			2010		2009
Balance, beginning of year	$	110,857		$	66,200	$	63,700

• The Company does not expect any significant change to the above unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.

  Unless otherwise indicated, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these legal proceedings, nor can it estimate the amount of loss, or range of loss, if any, that may result from these proceedings. An adverse outcome in certain of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, and could cause the market value of its common shares to decline.

  From time to time, the Company also initiates actions or files counterclaims. The Company could be subject to counterclaims or other suits in response to actions it may initiate. The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these proceedings, some of which may involve significant legal fees. The Company believes that the prosecution of these actions and counterclaims is important to preserve and protect the Company, its reputation and its assets.

  Governmental and Regulatory Inquiries

  On May 16, 2008, Biovail Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Company's former subsidiary, entered into a written plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office ("USAO") for the District of Massachusetts whereby it agreed to plead guilty to violating the U.S. Anti-Kickback Statute and pay a fine of $22.2 million.

  In addition, on May 16, 2008, the Company entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the USAO whereby the USAO agreed to decline prosecution of Biovail in exchange for continuing cooperation and a civil settlement agreement and pay a civil penalty of $2.4 million. A hearing before the U.S. District Court in Boston took place on September 14, 2009 and the plea was approved.

  In addition, as part of the overall settlement, Biovail entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement ("CIA") with the Office of the Inspector General and the Department of Health and Human Services on September 11, 2009. The CIA requires Biovail to have a compliance program in place and to undertake a set of defined corporate integrity obligations for a five-year term. The CIA also includes requirements for an annual independent review of these obligations. Failure to comply with the obligations under the CIA could result in financial penalties.

  Antitrust

  On April 4, 2008, a direct purchaser plaintiff filed a class action antitrust complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Biovail, GlaxoSmithKline plc, and SmithKline Beecham Inc. (the latter two of which are referred to here as "GSK") seeking damages and alleging that Biovail and GSK took actions to improperly delay FDA approval for generic forms of Wellbutrin XL®. The direct purchaser plaintiff in the Massachusetts federal court lawsuit voluntarily dismissed its complaint on May 27, 2008, and shortly thereafter re-filed a virtually identical complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In late May and early June 2008, additional direct and indirect purchaser class actions were also filed against Biovail and GSK in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, all making similar allegations. These complaints have now been consolidated, resulting in a lead direct purchaser and a lead indirect purchaser action.

  On September 10, 2008, the Company and GSK filed motions to dismiss both the direct and indirect purchaser actions. Those motions were heard on February 26, 2009. In the direct purchaser case, on March 13, 2009, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motions, dismissing the Sherman Act Section 2 monopolization claim that had been made by the direct purchasers against the Company. The Company and GSK answered the remaining claims in the direct purchaser case on April 16, 2009. On March 26, 2009, before an order issued on the motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' claims, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The pending motions were therefore denied as moot, and new motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' claims were filed on April 30, 2009. On July 30, 2009, the Court dismissed all indirect purchaser claims except the antitrust claims (limited as to the Company's concerted actions) in California, Nevada, Tennessee and Wisconsin and the consumer protection claims of California and Florida.

  On September 14, 2010, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend their complaint to add claims under Illinois's Antitrust Act and New York's Donnelly Act. The Company and GSK opposed the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' motion. On December 21, 2010, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion for leave to amend, permitting indirect purchasers leave to amend their complaint to assert claims under New York's Donnelly Act but not under Illinois's Antitrust Act.

  Plaintiffs filed motions for class certification. The Company and GSK opposed the motions. The Court held a hearing on direct purchaser plaintiffs' class certification motion on April 5, 2011, and on indirect purchaser plaintiffs' class certification motion on April 29, 2011 and May 27, 2011. The Court granted in part and denied in part the direct purchaser plaintiffs' motion on August 11, 2011. The Court certified a class consisting of all persons or entities in the United States and its territories who purchased Wellbutrin XL® directly from any of the defendants at any time during the period of November 14, 2005 through August 31, 2009. Excluded from the class are defendants and their officers, directors, management, employees, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and federal government entities. Further excluded from the class are persons or entities who have not purchased generic versions of Wellbutrin XL® during the class period after the introduction of generic versions of Wellbutrin XL®. Defendants petitioned the Third Circuit for immediate appellate review of this order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(f), but the Third Circuit denied the request without comment. The order remains appealable at the conclusion of the district court proceedings.

  The Court granted in part and denied in part the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' motion on August 12, 2011. The defendants have moved the district court to reconsider certain aspects of this order, which motion is pending.

  Discovery has concluded and motions for summary judgment have been filed by the Defendants. The summary judgment hearing is scheduled to take place on March 20, 2012.

  The Company believes that each of these complaints lacks merit and that the Company's challenged actions complied with all applicable laws and regulations, including federal and state antitrust laws, FDA regulations, U.S. patent law and the Hatch-Waxman Act.

  Intellectual Property

  On January 18, 2010, a Canadian Federal Court judge presiding over Biovail and Depomed, Inc. ("Depomed") v. Apotex Inc. ("Apotex") et al. issued a decision in a proceeding pursuant to the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) ("PMNOC") Regulations in Canada to determine whether Apotex's allegations that a Depomed patent was invalid and/or not infringed was justified. This proceeding related to a Canadian application filed by Apotex to market a generic version of the 500 mg formulation of Glumetza® (extended release metformin hydrochloride tablets) licensed in Canada by Depomed to Biovail Laboratories International SRL, now known as Valeant International (Barbados) SRL ("VIB"). Pursuant to the decision issued by the Court, Health Canada can authorize Apotex to market in Canada its generic version of the 500mg formulation of Glumetza®. The decision, which was amended on January 20, 2010, found under Canadian law that Apotex's allegation was justified that the Depomed Canadian patent at issue in the matter (No. 2,290,624) (the "'624 Patent") is obvious. The judge found that the evidence presented by the parties was "evenly balanced" as to obviousness. The judge found in favor of Biovail and Depomed as to all other issues related to the '624 Patent under Canadian law. Apotex was authorized by Health Canada on February 4, 2010 to market its generic version of 500 mg Glumetza® in Canada. This decision, however, did not find the patent invalid and did not preclude the filing of a subsequent patent infringement suit against Apotex. Biovail and Depomed commenced action for patent infringement against Apotex in Canadian Federal Court on February 8, 2010. Pleadings have now closed, but no further steps have been taken.

  On or about June 24, 2010, Biovail and VIB received a Notice of Allegation from Mylan Pharmaceuticals ULC ("Mylan") with respect to Bupropion Hydrochloride 150 mg and 300 mg tablets, marketed in Canada by Biovail as Wellbutrin® XL. The patents in issue are Canadian Patent Nos. 2,142,320, 2,168,364 and 2,524,300. Mylan alleges that its generic form of Wellbutrin® XL does not infringe the patents and, alternatively, that the patents are invalid. Following an evaluation of the allegations in the Notice of Allegation, an application for an order prohibiting the Minister from issuing a Notice of Compliance to Mylan was issued in the Federal Court on August 6, 2010, relating to Canadian Patent Nos. 2,524,300 and 2,168,364. Mylan has now withdrawn its allegations of invalidity. The matter is proceeding in the ordinary course. The parties have exchanged evidence and cross-examinations have taken place. The hearing of the application, which will proceed with respect to Canadian Patent No. 2,168,364, is scheduled to commence on March 26, 2012.

  In May 2011, Mylan filed a Statement of Claim in the Federal Court of Canada against the Company, VIB and Valeant Canada seeking to impeach Canadian Patent No. 2,524,300. The parties agreed to discontinue this action, without costs, and a notice of discontinuance was filed with the Federal Court of Canada on August 12, 2011.

  On September 12, 2011, Mylan filed a Statement of Claim in the Federal Court of Canada against the Company, VIB and Valeant Canada seeking to impeach Canadian Patent No. 2,168,364. The Company, VIB and Valeant Canada brought a motion to strike the claim for a declaration of non-infringement or, in the alternative, to stay the action until after the determination of the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) proceeding described above. This motion is scheduled to be heard by the court on March 21, 2012.

  On or about January 5, 2010, VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification dated January 4, 2010 from Watson Laboratories, Inc. — Florida ("Watson"), related to Watson's ANDA filing for bupropion hydrobromide extended-release tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg, which correspond to the Company's Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets 174 mg and 348 mg products. Watson asserted that U.S. Patent Nos. 7,241,805, 7,569,610, 7,572,935 and 7,585,897 which are listed in the FDA's Orange Book for Aplenzin® are invalid or not infringed. VIB subsequently received from Watson a second Notice of Paragraph IV Certification for U.S. Patent Nos. 7,645,802 and 7,649,019, which were listed in the FDA's Orange Book after Watson's initial certification. Watson has alleged these patents are invalid or not infringed. VIB filed suit pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act against Watson on February 18, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and on February 19, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, thereby triggering a 30-month stay of the approval of Watson's ANDA. The Delaware action has been dismissed without prejudice and the litigation is proceeding in the Florida Court. VIB received a third Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Watson dated March 5, 2010, seeking to market its products prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,662,407 and 7,671,094. VIB received a fourth Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Watson on April 9, 2010. VIB filed a second Complaint against Watson in Florida Court on the third and fourth Notices on April 16, 2010. The two actions have been consolidated into the first-filed case before the same judge. In the course of discovery the issues have been narrowed and only five of the patents remain in the litigation. Mandatory mediation was completed unsuccessfully on December 17, 2010. The trial in this matter was held in June 2011 and closing arguments were heard in September 2011. A judgment in this matter was issued on November 8, 2011. The Court found that Watson had failed to prove that VIB's patents at suit were invalid and granted judgment in favor of VIB. Watson is appealing the judgment and the appeal is expected to proceed in the ordinary course.

  On or about January 27, 2010, VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Paddock dated January 22, 2010, relating to Paddock's ANDA filing for bupropion hydrobromide extended-release tablets, 174 mg and 522 mg, which correspond to the Company's Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets 174 mg and 522 mg products. Paddock has certified that the six patents currently listed in the FDA's Orange Book for Aplenzin®, plus an additional unlisted VIB patent relating to bupropion hydrobromide, are invalid and/or not infringed. A complaint was filed on March 9, 2010 against Paddock in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. A parallel suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware has been dismissed without prejudice. A second suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota on April 15, 2010 following a second Paragraph IV certification received from Paddock. These cases were consolidated before the same judge. On December 1, 2011, VIB and Paddock entered into a settlement agreement with respect to this matter. The settlement agreement was submitted to the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice on December 7, 2011. The consolidated case has been dismissed by the Court.

  On or about August 20, 2010, Biovail and VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Par") dated August 18, 2010, related to Par's ANDA filing for bupropion hydrobromide extended-release tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg, which corresponds to the Company's Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg products. Par has certified that eight patents currently listed in the Orange Book for Aplenzin® are invalid, unenforceable and or not infringed. A complaint was filed against Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. and Par on September 22, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On December 2, 2011, VIB and Par entered into a settlement agreement with respect to this matter. The settlement agreement was submitted to the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice on December 7, 2011. The case has been dismissed by the Court.

  On or after December 12, 2011, a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification, dated December 7, 2011, was received from Spear Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Spear"), related to Spear's ANDA filing for fluorouracil topical cream, 0.5%, which corresponds to the Company's Carac® product. Spear has asserted that U.S. Patent No. 6,670,335 (the "'335 Patent"), which is listed in the FDA's Orange Book for Carac®, is not infringed by the filing of Spear's ANDA or the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation of Spear's product in the US. VIB (as exclusive licensee of the '335 Patent) and AP Pharma, Inc. (as owner of the '335 Patent) filed suit pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act against Spear on January 25, 2012, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, thereby triggering a stay of the approval of Spear's ANDA of up to 30 months during the pendency of the litigation. This matter is proceeding in the ordinary course.

  General Civil Actions

  Complaints have been filed by the City of New York, the State of Alabama, the State of Mississippi, the State of Louisiana and a number of counties within the State of New York, claiming that Biovail, and numerous other pharmaceutical companies, made fraudulent misstatements concerning the "average wholesale price" ("AWP") of their prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the plaintiffs for pharmaceutical products sold by the companies.

  The City of New York and plaintiffs for all the counties in New York (other than Erie, Oswego and Schenectady) voluntarily dismissed Biovail and certain others of the named defendants on a without prejudice basis. Similarly, the State of Mississippi voluntarily dismissed its claim against Biovail and a number of defendants on a without prejudice basis.

  In the case brought by the State of Alabama, the Company answered the State's Amended Complaint. On October 16, 2009, the Supreme Court of Alabama issued an opinion reversing judgments in favor of the State in the first three cases that were tried against co-defendant companies. The Alabama Supreme Court also rendered judgment in favor of those defendants, finding that the State's fraud-based theories failed as a matter of law. The court ordered all parties to this proceeding to attend mediation in December 2011. The matter has settled for an all inclusive payment in the amount of less than $0.1 million.

  A Third Amending Petition for Damages and Jury Demand was filed on November 10, 2010 in Louisiana State Court by the State of Louisiana claiming that a former subsidiary of the Company, and numerous other pharmaceutical companies, knowingly inflated the AWP and "wholesale acquisition cost" of their prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the State for pharmaceutical products sold by the companies. The State has subsequently filed additional amendments to its Petition, none of which materially affect the claims against the Company. The matter is in preliminary stages and the Company intends to defend against this action.

  On December 15, 2009, Biovail was served with a Seventh Amended Complaint under the False Claims Act in an action captioned United States of America, ex rel. Constance A. Conrad v. Actavis Mid-Atlantic, LLC, et al., United States District Court, District of Massachusetts. This case was originally filed in 2002 and maintained under seal until shortly before Biovail was served. Twenty other companies are named as defendants. In the Seventh Amended Complaint, Conrad alleges that various formulations of Rondec, a product formerly owned by Biovail, were not properly approved by the FDA and therefore not a "Covered Outpatient Drug" within the meaning of the Medicaid Rebate Statute. As such, Conrad alleges that Rondec was not eligible for reimbursement by federal healthcare programs, including Medicaid. Conrad seeks treble damages and civil penalties under the False Claims Act. Motions to dismiss have been brought by the defendants. Briefing on these motions will conclude on March 30, 2012. A hearing date has not been set.

  Legacy Valeant Litigation

  Valeant is the subject of a Formal Order of Investigation with respect to events and circumstances surrounding trading in its common stock, the public release of data from its first pivotal Phase III trial for taribavirin in March 2006, statements made in connection with the public release of data and matters regarding its stock option grants since January 1, 2000 and its restatement of certain historical financial statements announced in March 2008. In September 2006, Valeant's board of directors established a Special Committee to review its historical stock option practices and related accounting, and informed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of these efforts. Valeant has cooperated fully and will continue to cooperate with the SEC in its investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation.

  As described in note 4, in connection with the divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU, the Company reclassified from intangible assets $54.4 million and $14.8 million of carrying value related to these products, respectively, to assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. In addition, the Company recognized $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively, in Amortization of intangible assets in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011.
  
  

  (2)

  As described in note 5, in December 2011, ezogabine/retigabine received scheduling as a controlled substance, which triggered the reclassification of $797.7 million of IPR&D to a finite-lived product brand intangible asset, to be amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years. Also, the Company recognized impairment charges on IPR&D assets of $105.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs (U.S. Neurology and Other segment) acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010 described above under note 3, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 programs (U.S. Dermatology segment). The impairment charges were triggered in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to unfavorable study results, feedback received from the FDA which would result in the incurrence of higher costs to perform additional studies, reassessment of risk and the probability of success, and/or pipeline prioritization decisions resulting in the re-allocation of Company resources to other research and development programs. The impairment charges on IPR&D assets were recorded in Acquired in-process research and development expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011.

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

15.   PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

• The Company operates defined contribution retirement plans in several countries, including Canada and the U.S. Under these plans, employees are allowed to contribute a portion of their salaries to the plans, and the Company matches a portion of the employee contributions. The Company contributed $2.1 million, $2.9 million and $2.3 million to these plans in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

  Outside of the U.S., a limited group of Valeant employees are covered by defined benefit retirement and post-employment plans. The Company assumed all of Valeant's defined benefit obligations and related plan assets in connection with the Merger. The Company contributed $1.0 million and $1.4 million to these plans in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the projected benefit obligation of these plans totaled $8.0 million, which exceeded the fair value of plan assets of $1.6 million by $6.4 million. The Company has recognized the under-funded financial position of these plans in accrued liabilities ($0.3 million) and other long-term liabilities ($6.1 million) as of December 31, 2011. The net periodic benefit cost of these plans amounted to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the net periodic cost of was not material to the Company's results of operations.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2011

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The Company has entered into collaboration and license arrangements with other entities for various products under development. These arrangements typically include upfront and contingent milestone and royalty payments. All such arrangements were determined not to be variable interests in the entities. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the financial results of any of these entities.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions

Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value, with limited exceptions. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") is recognized at fair value and initially characterized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use. If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

In preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include: provisions for product returns, rebates and chargebacks; useful lives of amortizable intangible assets; expected future cash flows used in evaluating intangible assets for impairment; reporting unit fair values in testing goodwill for impairment; provisions for loss contingencies; provisions for income taxes and realizability of deferred tax assets; and the allocation of the purchase price of acquired assets and businesses, including the fair value of contingent consideration. Under certain product manufacturing and supply agreements, management relies on estimates for future returns, rebates and chargebacks made by the Company's commercialization counterparties. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company's business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company's consolidated financial statements could be materially impacted.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short maturity periods. The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is based on estimated discounted future cash flows and assessment of the probability of occurrence of potential future events. The fair values of marketable securities and long-term debt are based on quoted market prices, if available, or estimated discounted future cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, treasury bills, certain money-market funds, term deposits and investment-grade commercial paper with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities

Marketable debt securities are classified as being available-for-sale. These securities are reported at fair value with all unrealized gains and temporary unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Other-than-temporary credit losses that represent a decrease in the cash flows expected to be collected on these securities are recognized in net income. Other-than-temporary non-credit losses related to all other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income, if the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of these securities are recognized in net income. The cost of securities sold, and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings, is calculated using the specific identification method, if determinable, otherwise the average cost method is applied. The amortization of acquisition premiums or discounts is recorded as a deduction from or addition to interest income earned on these securities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable.

The Company invests its excess cash in high-quality, liquid money market instruments with varying maturities, but typically less than three months. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its cash or cash equivalents.

In 2011, the Company's marketable securities portfolio includes investment-grade corporate enterprise fixed income debt securities that mature within one year. In 2010, the Company's marketable securities portfolio included investment-grade corporate, government or government-sponsored enterprise fixed income debt securities with a maximum term to maturity of three years.

The Company's accounts receivable primarily arise from product sales in the U.S. and Europe and primarily represent amounts due from wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, government entities and group purchasing organizations. Outside of the U.S., concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables, which are typically unsecured, are limited due to the number of customers using the Company's products, as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of customers and does not require collateral. The Company monitors economic conditions, including volatility associated with international economies, and related impacts on the relevant financial markets and its business, especially in light of sovereign credit issues. The credit and economic conditions within Italy, Portugal, Spain and Greece, among other members of the European Union, have deteriorated. These conditions have increased, and may continue to increase, the average length of time that it takes to collect on the Company's accounts receivable outstanding in these countries. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based on the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts experience, and changes in customer payment patterns. Accounts receivables balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company's three largest U.S. wholesaler customers accounted for 32% and 46% of net trade receivables, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company's net trade receivable balance from Greece amounted to $7.2 million and has been outstanding for less than one year. The portion of the Greece receivables past due more than 90 days is negligible. As of December 31, 2011, the Company does not have any outstanding trade receivable balances from Italy, Portugal or Spain. The Company has not experienced any significant losses from uncollectible accounts in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories comprise raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, which are valued at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost for work in process and finished goods inventories includes materials, direct labor, and an allocation of overheads. Market for raw materials is replacement cost, and for work in process and finished goods is net realizable value.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventories on a regular basis, taking into account such factors as historical and anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, the price the Company expects to obtain for products in their respective markets compared with historical cost and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand.

Property, Plant and Equipment

• Property, Plant and Equipment

  Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred on assets under construction are capitalized as construction in progress. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, commencing when the assets become available for productive use, based on the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	Up to 40 years
Machinery and equipment	3 - 20 years
Other equipment	3 - 10 years
Leasehold improvements and capital leases	Lesser of term of lease or 10 years

Intangible Assets

• Intangible Assets

  Intangible assets are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

Product brands	1 - 25 years
Corporate brands	4 - 20 years
Product rights	1 - 20 years
Partner relationships	3 - 8 years
Out-licensed technology and other	4 - 10 years

IPR&D

IPR&D

The fair value of IPR&D acquired through a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the completion or abandonment of the related research and development activities. When the related research and development is completed, the asset will be assigned a useful life and amortized.

The fair value of an IPR&D intangible asset is determined using an income approach. This approach starts with a forecast of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. The net cash flows reflect the asset's stage of completion, the probability of technical success, the projected costs to complete, expected market competition, and an assessment of the asset's life cycle. The net cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Indicators of potential impairment include: an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; an adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, or in its physical condition; and current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the asset is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including acquired IPR&D, are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment losses on indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized based solely on a comparison of the fair value of the asset to its carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability test.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment.

The Company operates in the following business segments: U.S. Neurology and Other; U.S. Dermatology; Canada and Australia; Branded Generics — Europe; and Branded Generics — Latin America. Each of the U.S. Neurology and Other, U.S. Dermatology and Branded Generics — Europe segments consist of one reporting unit. The Canada and Australia segment consists of two geographical reporting units. Similarly, the Branded Generics — Latin America segment consists of two reporting units based on geography, namely Mexico and Brazil. The Company estimated the fair values of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis approach. These calculations contain uncertainties as they require us to make assumptions about future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined that none of the goodwill associated with its reporting units was impaired.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are recorded in other long-term assets. Amortization expense is included in interest expense.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to market risks, including foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor does it enter into trades for which there is no underlying exposure. Derivative financial instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments based on whether they meet the criteria for designation as hedging transactions, either as cash flow, net investment, or fair value hedges. Depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of a hedged item are either offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Company did not hold any derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and at the average exchange rate for the reporting period for revenue and expense accounts. The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than an operation's functional currency are recognized in net income.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Product Sales

Product Sales

Product sales revenue is recognized when title has transferred to the customer and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Amounts received from customers as prepayments for products to be shipped in the future are recorded in deferred revenue.

Revenue from product sales is recognized net of provisions for estimated discounts, allowances, returns, rebates and chargebacks. The Company offers discounts for prompt payment and other incentive allowances to customers. Provisions for discounts and allowances are estimated based on contractual sales terms with customers and historical payment experience. The Company allows customers to return product within a specified period of time before and after its expiration date. Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical return levels, taking into account additional available information on competitive products and contract changes. The Company has data sharing agreements with the three largest wholesalers in the U.S. Where the Company does not have data sharing agreements, it uses third-party data to estimate the level of product inventories and product demand at wholesalers and retail pharmacies. The Company reviews its methodology and adequacy of the provision for returns on a quarterly basis, adjusting for changes in assumptions, historical results and business practices, as necessary. The Company is subject to rebates on sales made under governmental and commercial rebate programs, and chargebacks on sales made to government agencies, retail pharmacies and group purchasing organizations. Provisions for rebates and chargebacks are estimated based on historical experience, relevant statutes with respect to governmental pricing programs, and contractual sales terms.

The Company is party to manufacturing and supply agreements with a number of commercialization counterparties in the U.S. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company's supply prices for its products are determined after taking into consideration estimates for future returns, rebates, and chargebacks provided by each counterparty. The Company makes adjustments as needed to state these estimates on a basis consistent with this policy, and its methodology for estimating returns, rebates and chargebacks related to its own direct product sales.

Alliance and Royalty

Alliance and Royalty

The Company earns royalties and profit share revenue as a result of the licensing of product rights to third parties. Royalties and profit share revenue are earned at the time the related product is sold by the licensee based on the terms of the specific licensing agreement and when the Company has no future obligations with respect to the royalty or profit share. The Company relies on financial information provided by licensees to estimate the amounts due to it under the related agreements.

Service and Other

Service and Other

Service revenue attributable to the performance of contract services is recognized as the services are performed, under the proportionate performance method of revenue recognition. Performance is measured based on units-of-work performed relative to total units-of-work contracted. Units-of-work is generally measured based on hours spent.

For clinical research services provided by the Company's contract research division ("CRD") prior to its disposal in July 2010 (as described in note 6), units-of-work was generally measured in terms of bed night stays, and for laboratory-testing services, units-of-work was generally measured in terms of numbers of samples analyzed.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Costs related to internal research and development programs, including costs associated with the development of acquired IPR&D, are expensed as goods are delivered or services are performed. Under certain research and development arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, milestone payments made to third parties are expensed when the milestone is achieved. Milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the approved product.

Amounts due from third parties as reimbursement of development activities conducted under certain research and development arrangements are recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses.

Legal Costs

Legal Costs

Legal fees and other costs related to litigation and other legal proceedings are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Legal costs expensed are reported net of expected insurance recoveries. A claim for insurance recovery is recognized when the claim becomes probable of realization.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs comprise product samples, print media and promotional materials. Advertising costs related to new product launches are expensed on the first use of the advertisement. The Company did not have any deferred advertising costs recorded as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Advertising costs expensed in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $106.3 million, $29.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted share units ("RSUs"), at estimated fair value. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock option or RSU grants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual stock option or RSU grant, which generally equals the vesting period. Stock option and RSU forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The fair value of deferred share units ("DSUs") granted to non-management directors is recognized as compensation expense at the grant date, and a DSU liability is recorded in accrued liabilities. The fair value of the DSU liability is remeasured at each reporting date, with a corresponding adjustment to compensation expense in the reporting period.

Share-based compensation is recorded in cost of goods sold, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring and other costs, as appropriate.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

Acquisition-related contingent consideration, which consists primarily of potential milestone payments and royalty obligations, is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at its acquisition date estimated fair value, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Changes in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations result from several factors including changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified milestone criteria. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in fair value measurement accounting.

Interest Expense

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes standby fees and the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs. Interest costs are expensed as incurred, except to the extent such interest is related to construction in progress, in which case interest is capitalized. The Company did not capitalize any interest costs in 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to remain unrealized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws.

The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions are classified as long-term unless expected to be paid within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in the provision for income taxes and classified with the related liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period after giving effect to dilutive potential common shares for stock options, RSUs and convertible debt, determined using the treasury stock method.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income comprises foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized temporary holding gains or losses on available-for-sale investments, and the non-credit component of other-than-temporary losses on marketable debt securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income is recorded as a component of shareholders' equity.

Contingencies

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as claims and assessments arising from litigation and other legal proceedings, contractual indemnities, product and environmental liabilities, and tax matters. Accruals for loss contingencies are recorded when the Company determines that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If the estimate of the amount of the loss is a range and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued as a liability. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued as a liability.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

17.   SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

• In May 2011, shareholders approved the Company's 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan") which replaced the Company's 2007 Equity Compensation Plan for future equity awards granted by the Company. The Company transferred the shares available under the Company's 2007 Equity Compensation Plan to the Plan under which the Company is authorized to grant up to 6,846,310 million shares of its common stock and approximately 5,695,552 million shares were available for future grants as of December 31, 2011. The Company uses reserved and unissued common shares to satisfy its obligation under its share-based compensation plan.

  The following table summarizes the components and classification of share-based compensation expense related to stock options and RSUs:

	2011		2010		2009
Stock options(1)	$	45,465	$	56,851	$	2,613
RSUs		48,558		41,182		3,000

Cost of goods sold(1)(2)	$	1,330	$	1,258	$	525

Selling, general and administrative expenses(1)(2)		90,379		44,806		4,362
Restructuring and integration costs (as described in note 6)		985		49,482		—
Stock-based compensation expense	$	94,023	$	98,033	$	5,613

• (1)

  On March 9, 2011, the Company's compensation committee of the board of directors approved an equitable adjustment to all stock options outstanding as of that date for employees and directors as of such date, in connection with the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share declared on November 4, 2010 and paid on December 22, 2010. As the Company's stock option awards do not automatically adjust for dividend payments, this adjustment was treated as a modification of the terms and conditions of the outstanding options. The incremental fair value of the modified awards was determined to be $15.4 million, of which $9.2 million related to vested options, which was expensed as of March 9, 2011 as follows: cost of goods sold ($0.2 million), selling, general and administrative expenses ($8.8 million) and research and development expenses ($0.2 million). The remaining $6.2 million is being recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the unvested options.
  
  

  (2)

  Includes the excess of the fair value of Biovail stock options and time-based RSUs over the fair value of the vested and partially vested Valeant stock options and time-based RSUs of $20.9 million (as described in note 3), which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation expense and allocated as follows: cost of goods sold ($0.4 million), research and development expenses ($0.4 million), and selling, general and administrative expenses ($20.1 million).

• The Company recognized $26.5 million of tax benefits from stock options exercised in the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company did not recognize any tax benefits for the share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.

  Treatment of Biovail Stock Options and RSUs Following the Merger

  In accordance with the Merger agreement, each unvested stock option and time-based RSU award held by Biovail employees with employment agreements accelerated and became 100% vested upon involuntary termination following the Merger. As of the Merger Date, the Company calculated incremental compensation expense of $9.6 million to reflect an increase in the fair value of the stock options and time-based RSUs held by Biovail employees with employment agreements due to the acceleration of the vesting condition. This amount was recognized over the requisite service period of the terminated employees, which ended prior to December 31, 2010.

  Unvested stock option awards held by Biovail employees without employment agreements are forfeited if the employee is involuntarily terminated following the Merger. As of the Merger Date, the Company reversed $0.5 million of previously recognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options held by terminated employees without employment agreements. Unvested time-based RSU awards held by such Biovail employees vest on a pro-rata basis if the employee is involuntarily terminated following the Merger. Accordingly, no additional compensation expense related to the pro-rata vesting of time-based RSUs was required to be recognized by the Company post-Merger.

  Prior to the completion of the Merger, the board of directors of Biovail resolved that each performance-based RSU award held by Biovail executive officers and selected employees would immediately accelerate and become 100% vested on the Merger Date. The number of such performance-based RSUs to be settled would be determined based on Biovail's performance through the Merger Date. Based on such performance, each performance-based RSU vested upon the closing of the Merger at 200% of target. As of the Merger Date, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of $20.3 million to reflect an increase in the fair value of the performance-based RSUs due to the acceleration of the vesting condition. The common shares of the Company underlying the performance-based RSUs were delivered, net of income tax withholdings, to the applicable employees within 60 days of the Merger Date.

  Treatment of Valeant Continuing Stock Options and RSUs Following the Merger

  As of the Merger Date, the Company recorded compensation expense of $20.1 million to reflect the acceleration of the vesting term related to stock options and RSUs held by former executive officers of Valeant.

  Upon the closing of the Merger, each outstanding Valeant stock option and RSU that did not provide for vesting was converted into an option or RSU to acquire or receive common shares of the Company, after taking account of the pre-Merger special dividend and the exchange ratio for the Merger, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the stock option or RSU prior to the Merger. Valeant stock option grants generally vested ratably over a four-year period from the date of grant and had a term not exceeding 10 years. Valeant RSU grants vested based on the satisfaction of service conditions or on both service conditions and either the achievement of certain stock price appreciation conditions or the achievement of certain strategic initiatives.

  In total, 12,464,417 Biovail stock options were issued to replace Valeant stock options, and respectively 2,217,003 and 1,211,833 time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs of Biovail were issued to replace equivalent awards of Valeant. As described in note 3, the fair values of the vested portions of the Valeant stock options and Valeant RSUs were recognized as components of the purchase price or immediately as compensation expense as of the Merger Date. The following table summarizes, as of the Merger Date, the compensation cost and weighted-average service periods related to the unvested portions of the Valeant stock options and RSUs:

		Stock Options		Time-Based RSUs		Performance- Based RSUs
Number of awards issued (000s)			12,464		2,217		1,212
Total compensation cost related to unvested awards to be
	recognized	$	66,520	$	30,558	$	24,998
Weighted-average service period over which compensation
	cost is expected to be recognized (months)		18		25		34

• Stock Options

  With the exception of Biovail stock options issued to replace Valeant stock options in connection with the Merger, all stock options granted by the Company under its 2007 Equity Compensation Plan expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price of any stock option granted under its 2007 Equity Compensation Plan is not to be less than the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant (or, for participants subject to U.S. taxation, on the single trading day immediately preceding the date of grant, whichever is greater). All stock options granted by the Company under the 2011 Plan expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price of any stock option granted under the 2011 Plan will not be less than the closing price per common share on the national securities exchange on which the common shares are principally traded (currently, the NYSE) for the last preceding date on which there was a sale of such common shares on such exchange. Prior to the Merger, stock option grants typically vested ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the stock option grant. Following the Merger, stock options granted will vest 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries from the date of grant.

  The fair values of all stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	2011			2010			2009
Expected stock option life (years)(1)		4.0			4.0			4.0
Expected volatility(2)		42.8	%		37.1	%		45.2	%
Risk-free interest rate(3)		1.4	%		1.5	%		1.6	%
Expected dividend yield(4)		0.0	%		1.5	%		14.6	%

• (1)

  Determined based on historical exercise and forfeiture patterns.
  
  

  (2)

  Determined based on historical volatility of the Company's common shares over the expected life of the stock option.
  
  

  (3)

  Determined based on the rate at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. or Canadian government bonds with maturity dates equal to the expected life of the stock option.
  
  

  (4)

  Determined based on the stock option's exercise price and expected annual dividend rate at the time of grant.

• The Black-Scholes option-pricing model used by the Company to calculate stock option values was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradeable, fully transferable stock options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock option awards. This model also requires highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.

  The following table summarizes stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	Options (000s)			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, January 1, 2011		12,203		$	11.99
Granted		1,294			47.83
Equitable adjustment		380			11.00
Exercised		(2,898	)		13.91
Expired or forfeited		(499	)		19.82
Outstanding, December 31, 2011		10,480		$	15.10		6.0	$	335,744
Vested and exercisable, December 31, 2011		4,484		$	7.42		5.4	$	176,061

• The weighted-average fair values of all stock options granted in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $13.65, $5.46 and $0.92, respectively. The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $31.7 million, $28.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Proceeds received on the exercise of stock options in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $41.7 million, $58.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

  As of December 31, 2011, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options amounted to $48.4 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.8 years. The total fair value of stock options vested in 2011 was $35.4 million (2010 — $39.1 million; 2009 — $3.1 million).

  The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2011:

Range of Exercise Prices	Outstanding (000s)		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Exercisable (000s)		Weighted- Average Exercise Price
$3.46 - $5.19		3,321		5.9	$	4.26		2,560	$	4.27
$5.33 - $8.00		971		5.3		6.47		753		6.22
$8.03 - $12.05		428		2.7		8.85		401		8.78
$12.87 - $19.31		3,278		8.0		13.20		444		13.48

$39.95 - $54.76		1,234		4.6		48.23		10		39.35
		10,480		6.0	$	15.10		4,484	$	7.42

• RSUs

  With the exception of Biovail RSUs issued to replace Valeant RSUs in connection with the Merger, RSUs vest on the third anniversary date from the date of grant, unless provided otherwise in the applicable unit agreement, subject to the attainment of any applicable performance goals specified by the board of directors. If the vesting of the RSUs is conditional upon the attainment of performance goals, any RSUs that do not vest as a result of a determination that a holder of RSUs has failed to attain the prescribed performance goals will be forfeited immediately upon such determination. RSUs are credited with dividend equivalents, in the form of additional RSUs, when dividends are paid on the Company's common shares. Such additional RSUs will have the same vesting dates and will vest under the same terms as the RSUs in respect of which such additional RSUs are credited.

  To the extent provided for in an RSU agreement, the Company may, in lieu of all or a portion of the common shares which would otherwise be provided to a holder, elect to pay a cash amount equivalent to the market price of the Company's common shares on the vesting date for each vested RSU. The amount of cash payment will be determined based on the average market price of the Company's common shares on the vesting date. The Company's current intent is to settle vested RSUs through the issuance of common shares.

  Time-Based RSUs

  Each vested RSU without performance goals ("time-based RSU") represents the right of a holder to receive one of the Company's common shares. The fair value of each RSU granted is estimated based on the trading price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant.

  The following table summarizes non-vested time-based RSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	Time-Based RSUs (000s)			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested, January 1, 2011		2,213		$	24.61
Granted		425			44.96
Vested		(672	)		24.14
Forfeited		(137	)		25.15
Non-vested, December 31, 2011		1,829		$	29.47

• As of December 31, 2011, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested time-based RSUs amounted to $25.4 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.5 years. The total fair value of time-based RSUs vested in 2011 was $16.2 million (2010 — $11.6 million; 2009 — $0.1 million).

  Performance-Based RSUs

  Each vested RSU with performance goals ("performance-based RSU") represents the right of a holder to receive a number of the Company's common shares up to a specified maximum. For performance-based RSUs issued prior to the Merger, performance was measured based on shareholder return relative to an industry comparator group. For performance-based RSUs issued subsequent to the Merger, performance is determined based on the achievement of certain share price appreciation conditions. If the Company's performance is below a specified performance level, no common shares will be paid.

  The fair value of each performance-based RSU granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved. The fair values of performance-based RSUs granted prior to the Merger were estimated with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	2010			2009
Contractual term (years)		5.0			5.0
Expected Company share volatility(1)		43.2	%		44.0	%
Average comparator group share price volatility(1)		34.7	%		35.9	%
Risk-free interest rate(2)		2.4	%		3.1	%

• (1)

  Determined based on historical volatility over the contractual term of the performance-based RSU.
  
  

  (2)

  Determined based on the rate at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. government bonds with maturity dates equal to the contractual term of the performance-based RSUs.

  The fair values of performance-based RSUs granted in the year ended December 31, 2011 and in the post-Merger period ended December 31, 2010 were estimated with the following assumptions:

	2011	2010
Contractual term (years)	3.0	4.1-4.6
Expected Company share volatility(1)	34.6% - 60.8%	32.4% - 33.2%
Risk-free interest rate(2)	1.0% - 1.9%	1.2% - 2.3%

• (1)

  Determined based on historical volatility over the contractual term of the performance-based RSU.
  
  

  (2)

  Determined based on the rate at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. government bonds with maturity dates equal to the contractual term of the performance-based RSUs.

• The following table summarizes non-vested performance-based RSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	Performance- Based RSUs (000s)			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested, January 1, 2011		2,496		$	33.25
Granted		411			55.10
Vested		(765	)		52.06
Forfeited		(82	)		17.82
Non-vested, December 31, 2011		2,060		$	31.24

• As of December 31, 2011, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested performance-based RSUs amounted to $36.6 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.7 years. A maximum of 4,286,640 common shares could be issued upon vesting of the performance-based RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2011.

  DSUs

  Prior to May 2011, non-management directors received non-cash compensation in the form of DSUs, which entitled non-management directors to receive a lump-sum cash payment in respect of their DSUs either following the date upon which they cease to be a director of the Company or, with respect to DSUs granted after the Merger Date as part of the annual retainer, one year after such date. The amount of compensation deferred was converted into DSUs based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant (for directors subject to taxation, the calculation may be based on the greater of the five-day or one-day volume-weighted trading price). The Company recognizes compensation expense throughout the deferral period to the extent that the trading price of its common shares increases, and reduces compensation expense throughout the deferral period to the extent that the trading price of its common shares decreases.

  Following the Merger, the DSUs previously granted to non-management directors who did not remain on the board of directors of the Company will be redeemed, entitling each departing director to a payment of the cash value of his DSUs. Prior to December 31, 2010, cash payments of $2.3 million were made to settle 84,888 of such DSUs, with another 218,123 of such DSUs valued at $6.2 million remaining to be settled.

  Effective May 16, 2011 (the "Modification Date"), the board of directors of the Company modified the existing DSUs held by current directors from units settled in cash to units settled in common shares, which changed these DSUs from a liability award to an equity award. Accordingly, as of the Modification Date, the Company reclassified the $9.3 million aggregate fair value of the 182,053 DSUs held by current directors from accrued liabilities to additional paid-in capital. In the period from January 1, 2011 to the Modification Date, the Company recorded $3.6 million of compensation expense related to the change in the fair value of the DSUs held by current directors. As the modified DSUs were fully vested, no additional compensation expense will be recognized after the Modification Date. The DSUs held by former directors of Biovail were not affected by the modification and will continue to be cash settled. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $0.8 million of compensation expense in restructuring and integration costs related to the change in the fair value of DSUs still held by former directors of Biovail. As of December 31, 2011, there were 17,219 DSUs still held by former directors of Biovail.

  The Company recorded compensation expense related to DSUs of $8.5 million and $2.5 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the Company recognized liabilities related to its DSU plans of $11.5 million based on the trading price of the Company's common shares at those dates.

  The following table summarizes DSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	DSUs (000s)			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Outstanding, January 1, 2011		382		$	14.43
Granted		18			39.79
Settled for cash		(252	)		14.85
Outstanding, December 31, 2011		148		$	16.78

• Effective May 16, 2011, in lieu of grants of DSUs, unless the Company determines otherwise, non-management directors will receive their annual equity compensation retainer in the form of stock units, which will vest immediately upon grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company on the first anniversary of the date upon which the director ceases to be a director of the Company. In addition, a non-management director may elect to receive some or all of his or her cash retainers in additional units, which will be vested upon grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company when the director ceases to be a director of the Company (unless a different payment is elected in accordance with the procedures established by the Company).

Less allowance for obsolescence		(22,819	)		(28,065	)
	$	355,212		$	229,582

• The increase in inventories primarily reflect the acquisition of PharmaSwiss', Sanitas', Dermik's, Ortho Dermatologics', iNova's, and Afexa's inventories, which were initially recorded at fair value (as described in note 3). In the year ended December 31, 2011, cost of goods sold includes $51.3 million of acquisition accounting adjustments on the Valeant, PharmaSwiss and Sanitas inventories that were sold in 2011. As of December 31, 2011, substantially all of the acquisition accounting adjustments related to Valeant, PharmaSwiss and Sanitas inventories had been recognized in cost of goods sold.

  In the year ended December 31, 2010, cost of goods sold includes $53.3 million of acquisition accounting adjustments on the Valeant's inventory that was sold subsequent to the Merger Date.

  In the year ended December 31, 2011, the decline in the allowance for obsolescence primarily reflected the write off of obsolete inventory against the allowance.

COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

5.     COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

• In October 2008, Valeant closed the worldwide License and Collaboration Agreement (the "Collaboration Agreement") with GSK to develop and commercialize a first-in-class neuronal potassium channel opener for treatment of adult epilepsy patients with refractory partial onset seizures and its backup compounds, whose generic name will be ezogabine in the U.S. and retigabine in all other countries. Pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Valeant granted co-development rights and worldwide commercialization rights to GSK.

  Valeant agreed to share equally with GSK the development and pre-commercialization expenses of ezogabine/retigabine in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Puerto Rico (the "Collaboration Territory"). Following the launch of an ezogabine/retigabine product, the Company will share equally in the profits of ezogabine/retigabine in the Collaboration Territory. In addition, Valeant granted GSK an exclusive license to develop and commercialize retigabine in countries outside of the Collaboration Territory and certain backup compounds to ezogabine/retigabine worldwide. GSK is responsible for all expenses outside of the Collaboration Territory and will solely fund the development of any backup compound. The Company will receive up to a 20% royalty on net sales of retigabine outside of the Collaboration Territory. In addition, if backup compounds are developed and commercialized by GSK, GSK will pay the Company royalties of up to 20% of net sales of products based upon such backup compounds.

  Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, GSK will pay the Company up to $545.0 million, of which $40.0 million was received and recognized by the Company in the second quarter of 2011, as described below, based upon the achievement of certain regulatory, commercialization and sales milestones, and the development of additional indications for ezogabine/retigabine. GSK will also pay the Company up to an additional $150.0 million if certain regulatory and commercialization milestones are achieved for backup compounds to ezogabine/retigabine.

  In March 2011, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Trobalt™ (retigabine) as an adjunctive treatment of partial onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization in adults aged 18 years and above with epilepsy. In June 2011, the FDA approved the NDA for Potiga™ (ezogabine) tablets as adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients aged 18 years and older; however, the FDA recommended that ezogabine be scheduled as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act prior to the marketing or launch of Potiga™. In December 2011, ezogabine/retigabine received scheduling as a controlled substance, which triggered the commencement of amortization.

  In connection with the first sale of Trobalt™ by GSK in the European Union (which occurred in May 2011), GSK paid the Company a $40.0 million milestone payment and will pay up to a 20% royalty on net sales of the product. Upon the first sale of Potiga™ in the U.S., GSK will pay the Company a $45.0 million milestone payment, and the Company will share up to 50% of the net profits from the sale of Potiga™. As substantive uncertainty existed at the inception of the Collaboration Agreement as to whether the milestones would be achieved because of the uncertainty involved with obtaining regulatory approval, no amounts were previously recognized for these potential milestone payments. The milestone payments (1) relate solely to past performance of the Company, (2) are reasonable relative to the other deliverables and payment terms within the Collaboration Agreement, and (3) are commensurate with the Company's efforts in collaboration with GSK to achieve the milestone events and the increase in value of ezogabine/retigabine. Accordingly, the milestones are considered substantive, and the milestone payments are being recognized by the Company as alliance and royalty revenue upon achievement.

  The Company's rights to ezogabine/retigabine are subject to an asset purchase agreement between Meda Pharma GmbH & Co. KG ("Meda Pharma") and Xcel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was acquired by Valeant in 2005 (the "Meda Pharma Agreement"). Under the Meda Pharma Agreement, the Company is required to make certain milestone and royalty payments to Meda Pharma. Within the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, any royalty payments to Meda Pharma will be shared by the Company and GSK. In the rest of the world, the Company will be responsible for the payment of these royalties to Meda Pharma from the royalty payments it receives from GSK. In connection with the approval of the NDA for Potiga™, the Company made a $6.0 million milestone payment to Meda Pharma in the second quarter of 2011. As this potential milestone payment had been included in the estimated net future cash flows used to determine the fair value for the ezogabine/retigabine IPR&D assets as of the Merger Date, the payment of this milestone to Meda Pharma was recorded as an addition to the value of those assets.

• Divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU

  In connection with the acquisition of Dermik, the Company was required by the FTC to divest 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide gel ("IDP-111"), a generic version of BenzaClin®, and 5% fluorouracil cream ("5-FU"), an authorized generic of Efudex®.

  On February 3, 2012, the Company sold the IDP-111 and 5-FU products to Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recognized $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of the carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less costs to sell. The impairment charges are included in Amortization of intangible assets in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011. The adjusted carrying values of $54.4 million and $14.8 million for IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively, were classified as Assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and are included within the U.S. Dermatology reporting segment.

  Cloderm®

  On March 31, 2011, the Company out-licensed the product rights to Cloderm® Cream, 0.1%, in the U.S. to Promius Pharma LLC, an affiliate of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, in exchange for a $36.0 million upfront payment, which was received in early April 2011, and future royalty payments. The Cloderm® product rights intangible asset was recorded at a fair value of $31.8 million as of the Merger Date, and had a remaining unamortized carrying value of $30.7 million at March 31, 2011. Cloderm® was considered a non-core asset with respect to the Company's business strategy, which contemplates, on an ongoing basis, the selective purchase and sale of products and assets with a focus on core geographies and therapeutic classes. The Company, therefore, considers the out-license or sale of non-core assets to be part of its ongoing major and central operations. Accordingly, proceeds on the out-license or sale of non-core assets are recognized as alliance revenue, with the associated costs, including the carrying amount of related intangible assets, recorded as cost of alliance revenue. In connection with the out-license of the product rights to Cloderm®, the Company recognized the upfront payment as alliance revenue in the first quarter of 2011 and expensed the carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets as cost of alliance revenue. The Company recognizes the royalty payments as alliance revenue as they are earned.

  Zovirax®

  On February 22, 2011 and March 25, 2011, the Company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights, respectively, to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® from GSK. Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreements, the Company paid GSK an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in cash for both the U.S. and Canadian rights. The Company had been marketing Zovirax® in the U.S. since January 1, 2002, under a 20-year exclusive distribution agreement with GSK, which distribution agreement terminated following the closing of the U.S. transaction. The Company has entered into new supply agreements and new trademark license agreements with GSK with respect to the U.S. and Canadian territories.

  This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of identifiable intangible assets. Accordingly, the purchase price (including costs of acquisition) was allocated to the product brand intangible asset, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of 11 years. In addition, the Company reclassified the $91.4 million unamortized carrying amount of the original exclusive distribution agreement from product rights to the product brand intangible asset, to be amortized over the same 11-year estimated useful life.

  Lodalis™

  On February 9, 2011, the Company acquired the Canadian rights to Lodalis™ (colesevelam hydrochloride) from Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") for a $2.0 million upfront payment and potential future milestone payments. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use and, accordingly, the upfront payment was charged to acquired IPR&D expense as of the acquisition date. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company made a first milestone payment of $2.0 million to Genzyme, which was charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the period. In September 2011, colesevelam hydrochloride received regulatory approval from Health Canada, in the form of a Notice of Compliance ("NOC"), for commercialization in Canada, which triggered an additional milestone payment of $5.0 million, which the Company paid in October 2011. The Company recognized this milestone as an intangible asset in its consolidated balance sheet. Subsequently, the Company filed for a product name change and a manufacturer name change, and the NOC for Lodalis™ was received from Health Canada on December 28, 2011.

  Under a separate agreement dated November 1, 2010, the Company granted Kadmon an exclusive, worldwide license to taribavirin, excluding the territory of Japan, in exchange for an upfront payment of $5.0 million, other development milestones, and royalty payments in the range of 8-12% of future net sales. The fair value associated with ribavirin was included in the acquired IPR&D assets identified as of the Merger Date.

  Hamilton Brands

  On October 29, 2010, the Company acquired the intellectual property, trademarks and inventory related to the Hamilton skin care brand in Australia for cash consideration of $14.7 million.

Accordingly, the $10.0 million upfront payment, together with $0.2 million of acquisition costs, was charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the second quarter of 2010.

  In April 2007, Kyowa Hakko Kirin filed an NDA for istradefylline, which received a Not Approvable letter from the FDA in February 2008.

  As described in note 4, in connection with the divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU, the Company reclassified from intangible assets $54.4 million and $14.8 million of carrying value related to these products, respectively, to assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011.

  (2)

  As described in note 5, in December 2011, ezogabine/retigabine received scheduling as a controlled substance, which triggered the reclassification of $797.7 million of IPR&D to a finite-lived product brand intangible asset, to be amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years. Also, the Company recognized impairment charges on IPR&D assets of $105.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs (U.S. Neurology and Other segment) acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010 described above under note 3, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 programs (U.S. Dermatology segment). The impairment charges were triggered in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to unfavorable study results, feedback received from the FDA which would result in the incurrence of higher costs to perform additional studies, reassessment of risk and the probability of success, and/or pipeline prioritization decisions resulting in the re-allocation of Company resources to other research and development programs. The impairment charges on IPR&D assets were recorded in Acquired in-process research and development expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011.

• The increase in intangible assets primarily reflects the acquisition of the PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Elidel® and Xerese®, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, Afexa and iNova identifiable intangible assets (as described in note 3) and the rights to Zovirax® (as described in note 4), partially offset by the impact of the measurement period adjustments in connection with the Merger (as described in note 3), the impact of foreign currency exchange, the write-off of IPR&D assets described above, the carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets expensed on the out-license of the product rights and the reclassification from intangible assets of the carrying values of IDP-111 and 5-FU to assets held for sale as described above.

  For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, amortization expense related to intangible assets was recorded as follows:

	2011		2010		2009
Alliance and royalty revenue	$	1,072	$	1,072	$	1,072

RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION

6.     RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION

• Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

  The Company has largely completed measures to integrate the operations of Biovail and Valeant, capture operating synergies and generate cost savings across the Company. These measures include:

  •

  workforce reductions across the Company and other organizational changes;

  •

  closing of duplicative facilities and other site rationalization actions company-wide, including research and development facilities, sales offices and corporate facilities;

  •

  leveraging research and development spend; and

  •

  procurement savings.

• In connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, the Company has incurred costs including: employee termination costs (including related share-based payments) payable to approximately 500 employees of Biovail and Valeant who have been terminated as a result of the Merger; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer to other parties of product-development programs that did not align with the Company's research and development model; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees, asset impairments charges to write down property, plant and equipment to fair value; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs.

  The following table summarizes the major components of costs incurred in connection with Merger-related initiatives through December 31, 2011:

• (1)

  As described below under "— Research and Development Pipeline Rationalization".

• As described in note 26, restructuring costs are not recorded in the Company's business segments.

  Employee Termination Costs

  The Company recognized employee termination costs of $14.5 million and $58.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, for severance and related benefits payable to approximately 500 employees of Biovail and Valeant who have been terminated as a result of the Merger. These reductions primarily reflect the elimination of redundancies and consolidation of staff in the research and development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing functions. As of December 31, 2011, $72.1 million of the termination costs had been paid with the balance payable in the first quarter of 2012.

  In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized incremental share-based compensation expense of $49.5 million related to the following stock options and RSUs held by terminated employees of Biovail and Valeant:

Stock options and time-based RSUs held by Biovail employees with employment agreements	$	9,622
Stock options held by Biovail employees without employment agreements		(492	)
Performance-based RSUs held by Biovail executive officers and selected employees		20,287
Stock options and RSUs held by former executive officers of Valeant		20,065
	$	49,482

• The Company recognized an additional $3.5 million in share-based compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2011, related to stock options and RSUs held by terminated employees of Biovail and Valeant.

  Research and Development Pipeline Rationalization

  Prior to the Merger, the Company's product development and business development efforts were focused on unmet medical needs in specialty CNS disorders. Since the Merger, the Company has been employing a leveraged research and development model that allows it to progress development programs, while minimizing research and development expense, through partnerships and other means. In consideration of this model, following the Merger, the Company conducted a strategic and financial review of its product development pipeline and identified the programs that did not align with the Company's new research and development model. These programs are outlined in the table below. In respect of the Staccato® loxapine, GDNF, tetrabenazine, fipamezole and pimavanserin programs, the Company provided notices of termination to, or entered into termination agreements with, the counterparties to the agreements. Regarding the Ampakine® program, the Company suspended development of these compounds and the program was sold back to Cortex on March 15, 2011 for an upfront fee of $0.2 million.

Program	Counterparty	Compound	Contingent Milestone Obligations Terminated(1)		IPR&D Termination Charges
AZ-004	Alexza	Staccato® loxapine	$	90,000		Nil
BVF-007	Cortex	AMPAKINE®	$	15,000		Nil

• (1)

  Represents the maximum amount of previously disclosed milestone payments the Company could have been required to make to the counterparty under each agreement. These milestone payments were contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and commercial milestones. In addition, the Company could have been obligated to make royalty payments based on future net sales of the products if regulatory approval was obtained. As a consequence of the termination of these arrangements, the Company has no ongoing or future obligation in respect of these milestone or royalty payments.
  
  

  (2)

  Represents the amount of negotiated settlements with each counterparty that was recognized and paid by the Company in the three-month period ended December 31, 2010.
  
  

  (3)

  Represents the carrying amount of the related acquired IPR&D asset capitalized in connection with the tetrabenazine acquisition in June 2009 (as described in note 3).

• In addition to the settlement payments identified in the table above, the Company incurred internal and external costs of $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 that were directly associated with the fulfillment of its remaining contractual obligations under these terminated arrangements, which costs have been recognized as restructuring costs.

  Contract Termination, Facility Closure and Other Costs

  Facility closure costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2011 included a $9.8 million charge for the remaining operating lease obligations (net of estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained) related to our vacated Mississauga, Ontario corporate office facility and a charge of $1.4 million related to a lease termination payment on our Aliso Viejo, California corporate office facility.

• The Company has transitioned a number of its corporate office functions to Bridgewater, New Jersey. As a result, a portion of the previously vacated space in the Bridgewater facility have been reoccupied, resulting in a $2.0 million reversal of a previously recognized restructuring accrual related to that space.

  In addition to costs associated with the Company's Merger-related initiatives, the Company incurred $50.9 million of integration-related costs in the year ended December 31, 2011, of which $37.5 million had been paid as of December 31, 2011. These costs were primarily related to the integration of operations following the acquisitions of Afexa, PharmaSwiss, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, Sanitas and iNova, the consolidation of the Company manufacturing facilities in Brazil, and worldwide systems integration initiatives.

  Pre-Merger Cost-Rationalization Initiatives

  In May 2008, the Company initiated restructuring measures that were intended to rationalize its manufacturing operations, pharmaceutical sciences operations, and general and administrative expenses. The following costs were incurred in connection with these initiatives during the three years ended December 31, 2011:

• Manufacturing Operations

  On January 15, 2010, the Company completed the sale of its Dorado, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility for net cash proceeds of $8.5 million.

  As of September 30, 2010, the Company completed the transfer of remaining manufacturing processes from its Carolina, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility to its plant in Steinbach, Manitoba. Following the end of production, the Company incurred internal and external costs of $1.3 million directly associated with the final shutdown of the Carolina facility, which costs have been recognized as restructuring costs in 2010. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of $0.4 million in 2010 to write off the remaining carrying value of the Carolina facility after unsuccessful efforts to locate a buyer for the facility.

  The Company incurred employee termination costs of $9.6 million in total in 2010 for severance and related benefits payable to the approximately 240 employees terminated as a result of the closure of the Dorado and Carolina facilities. As these employees were required to provide service during the shutdown period in order to be eligible for termination benefits, the Company was recognizing the cost of those termination benefits ratably over the estimated future service period.

  In 2009, the Company recorded impairment charges of $7.6 million to write down the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment located in Puerto Rico to its estimated fair value.

  Pharmaceutical Sciences Operations

  On July 23, 2010, the Company completed the sale of CRD to Lambda Therapeutic Research Inc. ("Lambda") for net cash proceeds of $6.4 million. The Company no longer considered CRD a strategic fit as a result of its pre-Merger transition from reformulation programs to the in-licensing, acquisition and development of specialty CNS products. CRD has not been treated as a discontinued operation for accounting purposes, on the basis that its operations were immaterial and incidental to the Company's core business.

  The net assets of CRD at the date of disposal comprised net current assets and liabilities of $1.6 million and property, plant and equipment of $4.8 million. The Company recognized employee termination costs of $1.9 million for the approximately 70 CRD employees not offered employment by Lambda.

  The consolidated statements of income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 included the following revenue and expenses of CRD, which, as described above, have not been segregated from continuing operations:

	2010			2009
Service and other revenues	$	5,642		$	12,027
Cost of services		7,211			13,849
Selling, general and administrative expenses		2,328			3,718
Total operating expenses		9,539			17,567
Operating loss		(3,897	)		(5,540	)
Foreign exchange gain (loss)		(102	)		93
Net loss	$	(3,999	)	$	(5,447	)

• In 2009, the Company incurred employee termination costs of $1.4 million for severance and related benefits payable to the approximately 50 employees terminated as a result of the closure of its Mississauga, Ontario research and development facility and the consolidation of its previous Chantilly, Virginia research and development operations. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.5 million related to the write-down of the carrying value of the equipment and leasehold improvements located at the Mississauga facility to their estimated fair value. The Company also recognized $1.6 million of accelerated depreciation arising from the reduced useful life of the leasehold improvements located at the Chantilly facility, and incurred lease termination costs of $1.4 million as a result of vacating one of its premises in Chantilly in 2009.

  In addition, in 2009, the Company completed the sale of its Dublin, Ireland research and development facility for net cash proceeds of $5.2 million, which resulted in a write-down of $9.9 million to the carrying value of this facility.

  Corporate Headquarters

  On November 4, 2009, the Company completed the sale and leaseback of its corporate headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario for net proceeds of $17.8 million. The Company recognized a loss on disposal of $11.0 million. In June 2011, the Company vacated this facility.

• Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:

  •

  Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  •

  Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

  •

  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

  If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

  Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

  The fair value measurement of contingent consideration obligations arising from business combinations is determined using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These inputs include (i) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows; (ii) the probability of the achievement of the factor(s) on which the contingency is based; and (iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows.

  As of December 31, 2009, the Company's marketable securities portfolio included $26.8 million of principal invested in nine individual auction rate securities, which had an estimated fair value of $6.0 million at that date. In May 2009, the Company had received $22.0 million in a settlement with an investment bank in respect of these securities, and retained ownership of the securities under the terms of the settlement. In August 2010, the Company disposed of these securities for cash proceeds of $1.4 million.

  The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations and the auction rate securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

  Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

  As of December 31, 2011, the Company's assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition included intangible assets related to the IDP-111 and 5-FU products classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to note 4 for additional information. The Company recognized impairment charges in 2011 of $7.9 million and $19.8 million for IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively. The adjusted carrying amounts of $54.4 million and $14.8 million for IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively, are equal to estimated fair value, less costs to sell, which was based on observable market prices and represents Level 2 inputs.

  Also, the Company recognized impairment charges on IPR&D assets of $105.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010 described above under note 3, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 dermatology programs. The adjusted carrying amounts of $12.6 million, in the aggregate, for these assets are equal to their estimated fair value, which was determined using discounted cash flows and represents Level 3 inputs. For further information, see note 12 titled "INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL".

  In addition, the Company's assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include a property in Warsaw, Poland, which is classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value less costs to sell of this property is $3.1 million as of December 31, 2011 based on observed prices for comparable market transactions, which represent Level 2 inputs. The Company recognized impairment charges in 2011 of $0.6 million on this property.

• New Senior Secured Credit Facilities

  On February 13, 2012, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of financial institutions and investors. Under the New Credit Agreement, in addition to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we syndicated a $600.0 million senior secured tranche B term loan facility (the "Tranche B Term Loans" and, together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the "New Senior Secured Credit Facilities") to fund the repayment of outstanding amounts under Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Tranche B Term Loans mature on February 13, 2019 and amortizes quarterly commencing June 30, 2012 at an annual rate of 1.0%. The Tranche B Term Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest quoted in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section, as the Prime Rate (currently defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's thirty largest banks) and (2) the federal funds effective rate plus ¹/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBO rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the LIBO rate in respect of Tranche B Term Loans shall at no time be less than 1%.

  The New Senior Secured Credit Facilities contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company's ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; enter into agreements and other arrangements that include negative pledge clauses; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by subsidiaries; make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; merge, amalgamate or sell assets, including equity interests of the subsidiaries; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into new lines of business; and enter into amendments of or waivers under subordinated indebtedness, organizational documents and certain other material agreements.

  The New Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a secured leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012. The New Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The New Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default, as specified in the New Credit Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

  Eyetech Inc.

  On February 13, 2012, the Company acquired Eyetech Inc. ("Eyetech"), a privately-owned ophthalmic biotechnology company dedicated to the treatment of sight-threatening diseases of the retina, for an up-front purchase price of $22.3 million and potential milestone payments of up to $4.0 million based on sales of Macugen® in 2012 and 2013. Eyetech markets Macugen® in the U.S., the first anti-VEGF inhibitor approved for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

  Divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU

  As described in note 4 "ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS", in connection with the acquisition of Dermik, the Company was required by the FTC to divest IDP-111, a generic version of BenzaClin®, and 5-FU, an authorized generic of Efudex®. On February 3, 2012, the Company sold the IDP-111 and 5-FU products to Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for $66.2 million in cash.

  Probiotica Laboratorios Ltda.

  On February 1, 2012, the Company acquired Probiotica Laboratorios Ltda. ("Probiotica"), a leader in sports nutrition and food supplements in Brazil for a total purchase price of BRL$150.0 million (approximately $85.9 million). Probiotica currently markets a line of OTC sports nutrition products and other food supplements.

  The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Due to the limited time since the closing of the acquisition, the valuation efforts and related acquisition accounting are incomplete at the time of filing of the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company is unable to provide amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for major classes of assets and liabilities acquired, including goodwill. In addition, because the acquisition accounting is incomplete, the Company is unable to provide the supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings for the combined entity, as the pro forma adjustments are expected to primarily consist of estimates for the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired and related income tax effects, which will result from the purchase price allocation and determination of the fair values for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

• Senior Secured Credit Facilities

  On October 20, 2011, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement entered into on August 10, 2011. The Credit Agreement provides for a $275 million revolving credit facility, including a sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and a sublimit for swing line loans (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), and a $1.725 billion senior secured term loan A facility (the "New Term Loan A Facility"), which includes a $500 million delayed draw term loan facility (the "Delayed Draw Facility"). The Credit Agreement also contains an uncommitted incremental facility, pursuant to which one or more existing lenders or other lenders, at their sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, may provide up to an additional $500.0 million in term loans or revolving loans. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and does not amortize. The New Term Loan A Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and amortizes quarterly commencing March 31, 2012 at an initial annual rate of 5.0%. The amortization schedule under the New Term Loan A Facility will increase to 10.0% annually commencing March 31, 2013 and 20% annually commencing March 31, 2014, payable in quarterly installments. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred approximately $43.7 million in fees, of which $13.4 million and $30.3 million are recognized as deferred debt issuance costs and debt issue discount, respectively, and amortized over the term of the agreement.

  On December 19, 2011, under the New Term Loan A Facility, the Company syndicated $500.0 million of incremental term loans (the "Incremental Term Loans" and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term Loan A Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") in connection with its acquisition of iNova. The Incremental Term Loans mature in April 2016 and have terms that are consistent with the Company's New Term Loan A Facility. In connection with a syndication of the Incremental Term Loans, the Company incurred approximately $10.8 million in fees, of which $0.3 million and $10.5 million are recognized as deferred debt issuance costs and debt issue discount, respectively and amortized over the term of the agreement.

  As of December 31, 2011, $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount in revolving loans was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $2,185.5 million in term loans was outstanding under the New Term Loan A Facility.

  The loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may be made to, and the letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility may be issued on behalf of, the Company. All borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default or an event of default and the accuracy in all material respects of representations and warranties.

  Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest quoted in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section, as the Prime Rate (currently defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's thirty largest banks) and (2) the federal funds effective rate plus ¹/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBO rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to LIBO rate borrowings. Interest rates are subject to increase or decrease quarterly based on leverage ratios. As of December 31, 2011, the effective rate of interest on the Company's borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term Loan A Facility was 4.1% and 3.2%, respectively.

  In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company is required to pay commitment fees of 0.50% per annum in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears and 0.50% per annum in respect of the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under the Delayed Draw Facility. The Company also is required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable margin on LIBO rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit and agency fees.

  Subject to certain exceptions and customary baskets set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities under certain circumstances, including from (1) 100% of net cash proceeds from asset sales outside the ordinary course of business (subject to reinvestment rights), (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds of insurance and condemnation proceeds for property or asset losses (subject to reinvestment rights and net proceeds threshold), (3) 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of equity securities subject to decrease based on leverage ratios, (4) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the incurrence of debt (other than permitted debt as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (5) 50% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) subject to decrease based on leverage ratios.

  The Company is permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the revolving commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBO rate loans.

  The Company's obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as well as certain hedging arrangements and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or affiliates thereof), are guaranteed by Valeant, Biovail International, S.à r.l. and PharmaSwiss, and other subsidiaries that are guarantors under Valeant's indentures.

  The Company's obligations and the obligations of the guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and certain hedging arrangements and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or affiliates thereof) are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of Valeant and the guarantors, including 100% of the capital stock of Valeant and each domestic subsidiary of Valeant, 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary of Valeant that is directly owned by Valeant or a guarantor that is a subsidiary of Valeant, and 100% of the capital stock of each other material subsidiary of the Company (other than Valeant 's subsidiaries), in each case subject to certain exclusions set forth in the credit documentation governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

  The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company's ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; enter into agreements and other arrangements that include negative pledge clauses; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by subsidiaries; make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; merge, amalgamate or sell assets, including equity interests of the subsidiaries; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into new lines of business; and enter into amendments of or waivers under subordinated indebtedness, organizational documents and certain other material agreements.

  The Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a secured leverage ratio not to exceed 1.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011 through and including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012 and not to exceed 1.50 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013. The Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default, as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

  Term Loan A Facility

  On September 27, 2010, Valeant and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Old Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lending institutions, consisting of (1) a four-and-one-half-year non-amortizing $125.0 million revolving credit facility, (2) a five-year amortizing $1.0 billion term loan A facility (the "Term Loan A Facility"), and (3) a six-year amortizing $1.625 billion term loan B facility (the "Term Loan B Facility"). Effective November 29, 2010, the Term Loan B Facility was prepaid in full. Effective March 8, 2011, Valeant terminated the Old Credit Agreement, using a portion of the net proceeds from the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes offering (as described below) to prepay the amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and cancel the undrawn revolving credit facility.

  2016 Notes and 2022 Notes

  On March 8, 2011, Valeant issued $950.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes") and $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") in a private placement. The 2016 Notes will mature on July 15, 2016 and the 2022 Notes will mature on July 15, 2022. The 2016 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 6.50% per year and the 2022 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 7.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2011. The 2016 Notes were issued at par and the 2022 Notes were issued at 98.125% of par for an effective annual yield of 7.50%. The 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of the Company's subsidiaries (other than Valeant) that is a guarantor under its other senior notes. Certain of the future subsidiaries of Valeant and the Company may be required to guarantee the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes.

  Net proceeds of the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes offering of $975.0 million were used to prepay the amount outstanding under Valeant's Term Loan A Facility, as described above. In addition, net proceeds of $274.8 million were used to fund the repurchase of common shares of the Company from ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P. ("ValueAct") in March 2011 (as described in note 16).

  Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2016 Notes at any time prior to July 15, 2013, and the 2022 Notes at any time prior to July 15, 2016, in each case, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a "make-whole" premium. In the fourth quarter of 2011, Valeant redeemed $34.5 million of principal amount of the 2016 Notes for $34.2 million through open-market purchases.

In addition, prior to July 15, 2013 for the 2016 Notes and July 15, 2014 for the 2022 Notes, Valeant may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of either the 2016 Notes or the 2022 Notes, at redemption prices of 106.500% and 107.250%, respectively, of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, in each case with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.

  If Valeant or the Company experiences a change in control, Valeant may be required to repurchase the 2016 Notes or 2022 Notes, as applicable, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date of the 2016 Notes or the 2022 Notes, as applicable.

  The 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional debt; make certain investments and other restricted payments; create liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; engage in mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; repurchase capital stock, repurchase subordinated debt and make certain investments; and transfer and sell assets. If an event of default, as specified in the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes indenture, shall occur and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of a specified percentage of the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes may accelerate the maturity of all the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes.

  2017 Notes and 2020 Notes

  Concurrent with the closing of the Merger, Valeant issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2017 Notes and $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes in a private placement. The 2017 Notes mature on October 1, 2017 and the 2020 Notes mature on October 1, 2020. Interest on the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes accrues at the rate of 6.75% and 7.00%, respectively, and is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1, commencing on April 1, 2011. The 2017 Notes were issued at a discount of 99.5% for an effective annual yield of 6.84% and the 2020 Notes were issued at a discount of 99.375% for an effective annual yield of 7.09%. The 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of its subsidiaries (other than Valeant). Certain of the future subsidiaries of the Company may be required to guarantee the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes.

  A portion of the proceeds of the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes offering was used to repay $1.0 billion of the Term Loan B Facility (as described above) and the remaining portion was used for general corporate purposes.

  Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2017 Notes at any time prior to October 1, 2014, and Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2020 Notes at any time prior to October 1, 2015, in each case at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a "make-whole" premium, as set forth in the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes Indenture.

In addition, prior to October 1, 2013, Valeant may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of either the 2017 Notes or the 2020 Notes at prices of 106.750% and 107.000%, respectively, of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, in each case with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.

  If Valeant or the Company experiences a change of control, Valeant may be required to repurchase the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date.

  The 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional debt; make certain investments and other restricted payments; create liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; engage in mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; repurchase capital stock, repurchase subordinated debt and make certain investments; and transfer and sell assets.

  2018 Notes

  On November 23, 2010, Valeant issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes" and, together with the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes, the "Notes") in a private placement. The 2018 Notes mature on December 1, 2018. Interest on the 2018 Notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% and is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 1 and December 1, commencing on June 1, 2011. The 2018 Notes were issued at a discount of 99.24% for an effective annual yield of 7.0%. The 2018 Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of its subsidiaries (other than Valeant). Certain of the future subsidiaries of Valeant and the Company may be required to guarantee the 2018 Notes.

  A portion of the proceeds of the 2018 Notes offering was used to repay the remaining $500.0 million owed under the Term Loan B Facility (as described above) and the balance of the proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, debt repayment and securities repurchases.

  Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2018 Notes at any time prior to December 1, 2014, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a "make-whole" premium, as set forth in the 2018 Notes Indenture. In the fourth quarter of 2011, Valeant redeemed $55.4 million of principal amount of the 2018 Notes for $54.9 million.

  2021 Notes

  On February 8, 2011, Valeant issued at par $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes") in a private placement. Interest on the 2021 Notes accrues at the rate of 6.75% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2011. The 2021 Notes mature on August 15, 2021. The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of the Company's subsidiaries (other than Valeant) that is a guarantor under its other senior notes. Certain of the future subsidiaries of Valeant and the Company may be required to guarantee the 2021 Notes.

  The net proceeds of the 2021 Notes offering were used principally to finance the acquisitions of PharmaSwiss (as described in note 3) and Zovirax® (as described in note 4).

  Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at any time prior to February 15, 2016, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a "make-whole" premium. On or after February 15, 2016, Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at the redemption prices applicable to the 2021 Notes as set forth in the 2021 Notes indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption of the 2021 Notes.

  If Valeant or the Company experiences a change in control, Valeant may be required to repurchase the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date of the 2021 Notes.

  The 2021 Notes indenture contains covenants substantially consistent with those contained in the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes indenture (as described above).

  4.0% Convertible Notes

  As described in note 3, in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed $225.0 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of Valeant's 4.0% Convertible Notes. Interest on the 4.0% Convertible Notes was payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 4.0% Convertible Notes were scheduled to mature on November 15, 2013. Valeant had the right to redeem the 4.0% Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at their principal amount on or after May 20, 2011. The 4.0% Convertible Notes were convertible into common shares of the Company at a current conversion rate of 79.0667 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which represents a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share), reflecting an adjustment to account for the pre-Merger special dividend, the exchange ratio for the Merger and the post-Merger special dividend.

  The fair value of $220.5 million allocated to the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, as of the Merger Date, was being accreted to the face value of the 4.0% Convertible Notes through the debt maturity date of November 15, 2013, using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate on the liability component of the 4% Convertible Notes was 4.62%. The accretion of the liability component was recognized as an additional non-cash interest expense.

  On April 20, 2011, the Company distributed a notice of redemption to holders of Valeant's 4.0% Convertible Notes, pursuant to which all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes would be redeemed on May 20, 2011 (the "Redemption Date"), at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The 4.0% Convertible Notes called for redemption could be converted at the election of the holders at any time before the close of business on May 19, 2011. Consequently, all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share.

  Immediately prior to settlement, the carrying amount of the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes was $221.3 million and the estimated fair value of the liability component was $226.0 million. The difference of $4.7 million between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the liability component was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. The difference of $666.0 million between the estimated fair value of the liability component of $226.0 million and the aggregate fair value of the common shares issued to effect the settlement of $892.0 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $226.0 million and $440.0 million, respectively.

  With respect to Valeant's call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, these agreements consisted of purchased call options on 15,813,338 common shares, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of shares, which matured on August 18, 2011. As of the Merger Date, these call options were to be settled in common shares of the Company. In June 2011, 11,479,365 common shares were received on the net-share settlement of the purchased call options, which common shares were subsequently cancelled.

  In September 2011, Valeant amended the written call option agreements so that Valeant could elect to settle all or some of the written call options in cash. In the third quarter of 2011, Valeant paid $66.9 million in cash and issued 7,518,595 of its common shares on a net-share basis to settle the written call options. In October 2011, 961,461 common shares were issued on a net-share basis to complete the settlement of the written call options.

  Interest expense was recognized based on the effective rate of interest of 4.62% on the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes as follows:

	2011		2010
Cash interest per contractual coupon rate	$	3,268	$	2,324
Non-cash amortization of debt discount		589		304
	$	3,857	$	2,628

• 5.375% Convertible Notes

  On June 10, 2009, the Company issued $350.0 million principal amount of 5.375% senior convertible notes due August 1, 2014 (the "5.375% Convertible Notes" and, together with the 4.0% Convertible Notes, the "Convertible Notes"). The 5.375% Convertible Notes mature on August 1, 2014. The 5.375% Convertible Notes were issued at par and pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 5.375% Convertible Notes may be converted based on a current conversion rate of 69.6943 common shares of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents a conversion price of approximately $14.35 per share. The conversion rate will be adjusted if the Company makes specified types of distributions or enters into certain other transactions in respect of its common shares. In addition, following certain corporate transactions that occur prior to maturity, the conversion rate will be increased for holders who elect to convert their holdings in connection with such corporate transactions.

  The 5.375% Convertible Notes are convertible at any time prior to the maturity date under the following circumstances:

  • •

    during any calendar quarter if the closing price of the Company's common shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect during a defined period at the end of the previous quarter;

    •

    during a defined period if the trading price of the 5.375% Convertible Notes falls below specified thresholds for a defined trading period;

    •

    if the 5.375% Convertible Notes have been called for redemption;

    •

    upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; or

    •

    25 trading days prior to the maturity date.

• Upon conversion, the 5.375% Convertible Notes may be settled in cash, common shares, or a combination of cash and common shares, at the Company's option. The Company's current intent is to settle the 5.375% Convertible Notes using a net share settlement approach, such that the principal amount of any 5.375% Convertible Notes tendered for conversion would be settled in cash, and any excess conversion value settled in common shares.

  The Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes at any time on or after August 2, 2012, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if during a defined period the closing price of the Company's common shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect. The Company may not otherwise redeem any of the 5.375% Convertible Notes at its option prior to maturity, except upon the occurrence of certain changes to the laws governing Canadian withholding taxes. Holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their holdings at 100% of the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of a specified fundamental change (such as a change of control).

  At the date of issuance, the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes was allocated into a liability component and an equity component. The liability component was fair valued at $293.3 million, based on a 9.5% market rate of interest for similar debt with no conversion rights. The value allocated to the liability component is being accreted to the face value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes over the five-year period prior to maturity, using the effective interest method. The accretion of the liability component is being recognized as additional non-cash interest expense. The difference between the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes and the value allocated to the liability component of $56.7 million was recorded in additional paid-in capital in shareholders' equity, as the carrying amount of the equity component.

  In connection with the issuance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, the Company incurred financing costs of $16.5 million, which were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the preceding allocation of the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes.

  During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company repurchased $205.0 million and $126.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $623.3 million and $259.2 million, respectively.

  Interest expense was recognized based on the effective rate of interest of 9.5% on the liability component of the 5.375% Convertible Notes as follows:

	2011		2010		2009
Cash interest per contractual coupon rate	$	6,265	$	18,335	$	10,504
Non-cash amortization of debt discount		3,433		9,265		4,954
	$	9,698	$	27,600	$	15,458

• In addition, interest expense included the non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the 5.375% Convertible Notes of $0.8 million, $2.1 million and $1.0 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

  The if-converted value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $42.2 million at December 31, 2011.

  Cambridge Obligation

  In connection with the acquisition of the worldwide development and commercialization rights to tetrabenazine (as described in note 3), the Company made a payment of $12.5 million to Cambridge on June 21, 2010 and the Company made a final payment of $17.5 million on December 23, 2011.

  In 2011, 2010 and 2009, interest expense included the non-cash amortization of the debt discount on the Cambridge obligation of $0.6 million, $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

  Biovail Merger with Valeant

  Description of the Transaction

  On September 28, 2010, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail acquired all of the outstanding equity of Valeant in a share transaction, in which each share of Valeant common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 1.7809 Biovail common shares. The share consideration was valued at $26.35 per share based on the market price of Biovail's common shares as of the Merger Date. In addition, immediately preceding the effective time of the Merger, Valeant paid its stockholders a special dividend of $16.77 per share (the "pre-Merger special dividend") of Valeant common stock. As a result of the Merger, Valeant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail.

  On December 22, 2010, the Company paid a post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share (the "post-Merger special dividend"). The post-Merger special dividend comprised aggregate cash paid of $297.6 million and 72,283 shares issued to shareholders that elected to reinvest in additional common shares of the Company through a special dividend reinvestment plan, which plan was terminated following payment of the post-Merger special dividend.

  Valeant is a multinational specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of pharmaceutical products. Valeant's specialty pharmaceutical and over-the-counter ("OTC") products are marketed under brand names and are sold in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, where Valeant focuses most of its efforts on the dermatology and neurology therapeutic classes. Valeant also has branded generic and OTC operations in Europe and Latin America, which focus on pharmaceutical products that are bioequivalent to original products and are marketed under company brand names.

  Basis of Presentation

  The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the share consideration transferred be measured at the acquisition date based on the then-current market price and that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition- related transaction costs and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges are not included as a component of the acquisition accounting, but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.

  Fair Value of Consideration Transferred

  The following table indicates the consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of Valeant:

(Number of shares, stock options and restricted share units in thousands)	Conversion Calculation		Fair Value		Form of Consideration
Number of common shares of Biovail issued in exchange for Valeant common stock outstanding as of the Merger Date		139,137
Multiplied by Biovail's stock price as of the Merger Date(a)	$	26.35	$	3,666,245	Common shares
Number of common shares of Biovail expected to be issued pursuant to vested Valeant RSUs as a result of the Merger		1,694
Multiplied by Biovail's stock price as of the Merger date(a)	$	26.35		44,643	Common shares
Fair value of vested and partially vested Valeant stock options converted into Biovail stock options				110,687	Stock options(b)
Fair value of vested and partially vested Valeant RSUs converted into Biovail RSUs				58,726	RSUs(c)
Cash consideration paid and payable				51,739	Cash(d)
Total fair value of consideration transferred			$	3,932,040

• (a)

  As the Merger was effective at 12:01 a.m. on September 28, 2010, the conversion calculation reflects the closing price of Biovail's common shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") at September 27, 2010.
  
  

  (b)

  The fair value of the vested and partially vested portions of Valeant stock options that were converted into stock options of Biovail was recognized as a component of the consideration transferred, based on a weighted-average fair value of $17.63 per stock option, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This calculation considered the closing price of Biovail's common shares of $26.35 per share as of the Merger Date and the following assumptions:

Expected volatility	32.9%
Expected life	3.4 years
Risk-free interest rate	1.1%
Expected dividend yield	1.5%

• • The expected life of the options was determined by taking into account the contractual life of the options and estimated exercise pattern of the option holders. The expected volatility and risk-free interest rate were determined based on current market information, and the dividend yield was derived based on the expectation of the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share of the Company and no dividends thereafter.

    The fair values of the exchanged Biovail stock options exceeded the fair values of the vested and partially vested Valeant stock options as of the Merger Date in an amount of $17.2 million, which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation expense.

  (c)

  The fair value of the vested portion of Valeant time-based and performance-based RSUs converted into RSUs of Biovail was recognized as a component of the purchase price. The fair value of the vested portion of the Valeant time-based RSUs was determined based on the closing price of Biovail's common shares of $26.35 per share as of the Merger Date. The fair value of Valeant performance-based RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved.

   

  • The fair value of the exchanged Biovail time-based RSUs exceeded the fair value of the vested and partially vested Valeant time-based RSUs as of the Merger Date in an amount of $3.8 million, which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation expense.

  (d)

  Cash consideration includes $39.7 million of income tax withholdings paid by the Company on behalf of employees of Valeant, in connection with the net share settlement of certain vested Valeant RSUs as of the Merger Date. In addition, under the terms of the Company's employment agreement with J. Michael Pearson, Chief Executive Officer, cash equal to the pre-Merger special dividend payment was paid to Mr. Pearson in respect of any of his 2008 performance awards that vested in February 2011 at the time of such vesting. As of the Merger Date, the aggregate amount of this cash payment in respect of the pre-Merger special dividend was estimated to be $13.7 million, based on the assumption that Mr. Pearson's 2008 performance awards will vest at the maximum performance target. Of that amount, the portion attributable to Mr. Pearson's pre-Merger service ($12.1 million) was recognized in the fair value of consideration transferred, while the portion attributable to Mr. Pearson's post-Merger service ($1.6 million) was recognized as share-based compensation expense over the remaining vesting period from the Merger Date to February 2011.

  Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

  The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger Date, as well as measurement period adjustments to the amounts originally recorded in 2010. The measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's previously reported results of operations or financial position in any period subsequent to the Merger Date and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted its consolidated financial statements.

  Acquired IPR&D assets are initially recognized at fair value and are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. The significant components of the acquired IPR&D assets relate to the development of ezogabine/retigabine in collaboration with Glaxo Group Limited, a subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline plc (the entities within The Glaxo Group of Companies are referred throughout as "GSK"), as an adjunctive treatment for refractory partial-onset seizures in adult patients with epilepsy (as described in note 5), and a number of dermatology products in development for the treatment of severe acne and fungal infections, among other indications.

    Refer to note 5 — "COLLABORATION AGREEMENT"
    

• • A multi-period excess earnings methodology (income approach) was used to determine the estimated fair values of the acquired IPR&D assets. The projected cash flows from these assets were adjusted for the probabilities of successful development and commercialization of each project. A risk-adjusted discount rate of 9% was used to present value the projected cash flows.

  As described in note 14, in connection with the Merger, Valeant secured financing of $125.0 million under a senior secured revolving credit facility, $1.0 billion under a senior secured term loan A facility (the "Term Loan A Facility"), and $1.625 billion under a senior secured term loan B facility (the "Term Loan B Facility"), and used a portion of the proceeds to undertake the following transactions prior to the Merger Date:

  •

  fund the payment of the pre-Merger special dividend;

  •

  fund the legal defeasance of Valeant's existing 8.375% and 7.625% senior unsecured notes, by depositing with the trustees amounts sufficient to pay 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, on October 27, 2010; and

  fund the repayment in full of indebtedness under Valeant's existing senior secured term loan.

  • Concurrent with the closing of the Merger, Valeant issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due 2017 (the "2017 Notes") and $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes"). A portion of the proceeds of the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes offering was used to pay down $1.0 billion of the Term Loan B Facility.

    Valeant incurred $118.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the above financings that were ascribed a fair value of nil in the acquisition accounting.

    In addition, as of the Merger Date, Valeant had $225.0 million outstanding principal amount of 4.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2013 (the "4.0% Convertible Notes"). The Company is required to separately account for the liability component and equity component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, as these notes have cash settlement features. The fair value of the 4.0% Convertible Notes was determined to be $446.5 million. A fair value of $220.5 million has been allocated to the liability component in a manner reflecting the Company's interest rate for a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature. The residual of the fair value of $226.0 million represents the carrying amount of the equity component, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital in the Company's consolidated shareholders' equity.

    On April 20, 2011, the Company distributed a notice of redemption to holders of Valeant's 4.0% Convertible Notes, pursuant to which all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes would be redeemed on May 20, 2011 (the "Redemption Date"), at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The 4.0% Convertible Notes called for redemption could be converted at the election of the holders at any time before the close of business on May 19, 2011. Consequently, all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share. For further details regarding the settlement of the 4% Convertible Notes, see note 14 titled "LONG-TERM DEBT".

    The following table summarizes the fair value of long-term debt assumed as of the Merger Date:

	Amounts Recognized as of Merger Date
Term Loan A Facility(1)	$	1,000,000
Term Loan B Facility(1)		500,000
2017 Notes		497,500
2020 Notes		695,625
4.0% Convertible Notes(2)		220,489
Total long-term debt assumed	$	2,913,614

• • (1)

    Effective November 29, 2010, the Term Loan B Facility was repaid in full. Effective March 8, 2011, Valeant terminated the Credit and Guaranty Agreement and repaid the amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility.

  (l)

  Includes the fair value of contingent consideration related to Valeant's acquisition of Princeton Pharma Holdings LLC, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Aton Pharma, Inc. ("Aton"), on May 26, 2010. The aggregate fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $21.6 million as of the Merger Date. The contingent consideration consists of future milestones predominantly based upon the achievement of approval and commercial targets for certain pipeline products (which are included in the fair value ascribed to the IPR&D assets acquired, as described above under (h)). The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could be obligated to pay as contingent consideration ranges from nil to $390.0 million. During 2011, the Company suspended the development of the A002 program. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $16.3 million to write down the IPR&D asset related to the A002 program, which was recognized as Acquired IPR&D in the Company's consolidated statements of income (loss). For further details, see note 12 titled "INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL". The impairment charges were partially offset by a gain of $9.4 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the Company's consolidated statements of income (loss).
  
  

  (m)

  The Company assumed Valeant's existing call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes. These agreements consisted of purchased call options on 15,813,338 common shares of the Company, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of shares, which matured on August 18, 2011. For further details regarding the settlement of these call options, see note 14 titled "LONG-TERM DEBT".

  • In addition, the Company assumed written call option agreements in respect of 3,863,670 common shares of the Company underlying Valeant's 3.0% convertible subordinated notes that matured in August 2010. The written call options on shares underlying the 3.0% convertible subordinated notes expired on November 15, 2010, and were settled over the following 30 business days. On November 19, 2010, the call option agreements were amended to require cash settlement, resulting in the reclassification of the $32.8 million fair value of the written call options as a liability as of that date. The Company recognized a loss of $10.1 million on the written call options settled for cash, which has been included in loss on extinguishment of debt (as described in note 19).

  (n)

  Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the Merger Date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

  •

  cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of Valeant with those of Biovail;

  •

  the value of the going-concern element of Valeant's existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if Biovail had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

  •

  intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Valeant's assembled workforce), as well as future, as yet unidentified research and development projects.

   

  • The amount of goodwill by business segment is indicated in note 12.

  Acquisition-Related Costs

  Sanitas

  Description of the Transaction

  On August 19, 2011 (the "Sanitas Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired 87.2% of the outstanding shares of AB Sanitas ("Sanitas") for cash consideration of $392.3 million. Prior to the Sanitas Acquisition Date, the Company acquired 1,502,432 shares of Sanitas, which represented approximately 4.8% of the outstanding shares. As a result, as of the Sanitas Acquisition Date, the Company held a controlling financial interest in Sanitas of 92%, or 28,625,025 shares. The acquisition date fair value of the 8% noncontrolling interest in Sanitas of $34.8 million, and the acquisition date fair value of the previously-held 4.8% equity interest of $21.1 million, were estimated using quoted market prices on such date.

  As of the Sanitas Acquisition Date, the Company reclassified the unrealized loss of $0.2 million related to the previously-held equity interest from other comprehensive income to earnings, which was included in Gain (loss) on investments, net in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

  On September 2, 2011, the Company announced a mandatory non-competitive tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase the remaining outstanding ordinary shares of Sanitas from all public shareholders at €10.06 per share. The Tender Offer closed on September 15, 2011, on which date the Company purchased an additional 1,968,631 shares (6.4% of the outstanding shares of Sanitas) for approximately $27.4 million. As a result of this purchase, the Company owned 30,593,656 shares or approximately 98.4% of Sanitas as of September 15, 2011.

  On September 22, 2011, the Company received approval from the Securities Commission of the Republic of Lithuania to conduct the mandatory tender offer through squeeze out procedures (the "Squeeze Out") at a price per one ordinary share of Sanitas equal to €10.06, which requested that all minority shareholders sell to the Company the ordinary shares of Sanitas owned by them (512,264 ordinary shares, or 1.6% of Sanitas).

  As the Company maintained a controlling financial interest in Sanitas during the Tender Offer, the additional ownership interest of 6.4% acquired in Sanitas was accounted for as an equity transaction between owners. The noncontrolling interest in Sanitas of approximately 1.6% to be acquired through the Squeeze Out procedures was classified as a liability in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as it was mandatorily redeemable. As of December 31, 2011, the amount due to Sanitas shareholders of $2.4 million was included in Accrued liabilities.

  Sanitas has a broad branded generics product portfolio consisting of 390 products in nine countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, Russia and Lithuania. Sanitas has in-house development capabilities in dermatology, hospital injectables and ophthalmology, and a pipeline of internally developed and acquired dossiers.

Thereafter, the Company will pay a double-digit royalty to Meda on net sales of Elidel®, Xerese® and Zovirax®, including additional minimum royalties of $120.0 million in the aggregate during 2013-2015. The Company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® in the first quarter of 2011 (as described in note 4).

  The Elidel®/Xerese® transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the upfront and contingent consideration, inclusive of minimum and variable royalty payments, was determined to be $437.7 million as of the acquisition date. As the majority of the contingent consideration relates to future royalty payments, the amount ultimately to be paid under this arrangement will be dependent on the future sales levels of Elidel®, Xerese®, and Zovirax®. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the royalty payments associated with this transaction are treated as part of the consideration paid for the business, and therefore the Company will not recognize royalty expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for these products. The royalty payments are being recorded as a reduction to the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a loss of $11.2 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The loss was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of income (loss). During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company made $28.5 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration payments, including royalties and milestones, related to this transaction. In January 2012, the Company made additional royalty and milestone payments totaling $27.5 million.

  The total fair value of the consideration transferred has been assigned to product brands intangible assets ($406.4 million), acquired IPR&D assets ($33.5 million) and a net deferred income tax liability ($(2.2) million). The product brands intangible assets have an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately eight years. The acquired IPR&D assets relate to the development of a Xerese® life-cycle product. The Company has incurred to date $0.4 million of transaction costs directly related to the license agreement, which have been expensed as acquisition-related costs. In the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2011, the revenue and earnings from the sale of Elidel® and Xerese® products under the license agreement were $38.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The earnings include the effects of the acquisition accounting adjustments of $26.4 million and the acquisition-related costs of $0.4 million.

  PharmaSwiss

  Description of the Transaction

  On March 10, 2011, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of PharmaSwiss S.A. ("PharmaSwiss"), a privately-owned branded generics and OTC pharmaceutical company based in Zug, Switzerland. As of the acquisition date, the total consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of PharmaSwiss comprised cash paid of $491.2 million (€353.1 million) and the rights to contingent consideration payments of up to $41.7 million (€30.0 million) if certain net sales milestones of PharmaSwiss were achieved for the 2011 calendar year. The fair value of the contingent payments was determined to be $27.5 million as of the acquisition date. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $13.2 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The Company is determining whether a contingent consideration payment of $13.0 million (€10.0 million) is payable based on the net sales results for the 2011 calendar year.

  In connection with the transaction, in February 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency forward-exchange contracts to buy €130.0 million, which were settled on March 9, 2011. The Company recorded a $5.1 million gain on the settlement of these contracts, which was partially offset by a foreign exchange loss of $2.4 million recognized on the remaining €220.0 million bought to finance the transaction. The net foreign exchange gain of $2.7 million was recognized in Foreign exchange and other in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

  PharmaSwiss is an existing partner to several large pharmaceutical and biotech companies offering regional expertise in such functions as regulatory, compliance, sales, marketing and distribution, in addition to developing its own product portfolio. Through its business operations, PharmaSwiss offers a broad product portfolio in seven therapeutic areas and operations in 19 countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, including Serbia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland, as well as in Greece and Israel.

  Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

  The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The following recognized amounts are provisional and subject to change:

  •

  amounts for income tax assets and liabilities, pending finalization of estimates and assumptions in respect of certain tax aspects of the transaction, and the filing of PharmaSwiss pre-acquisition tax returns; and

  •

  amount of goodwill pending the completion of the income tax assets and liabilities.

• The Company will finalize these amounts as it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date may result in retrospective adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date. These changes could be significant. The Company will finalize these amounts no later than one year from the acquisition date.

• (a)

  As previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
  
  

  (b)

  The measurement period adjustments primarily reflect: (i) changes to deferred taxes based on estimates of income tax rates; (ii) changes in the estimated fair value of certain intangible assets; (iii) an increase in the total fair value of consideration transferred pursuant to a working capital adjustment provision of the purchase agreement; and (iv) the tax impact of pre-tax measurement period adjustments. The measurement period adjustments were made to reflect facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, and did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated financial statements and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted those financial statements.
  
  

  (c)

  The fair value of trade accounts receivable acquired was $61.6 million, with the gross contractual amount being $66.8 million, of which the Company expects that $5.2 million will be uncollectible.
  
  

  (d)

  Includes $18.2 million to record PharmaSwiss inventory at its estimated fair value.
  
  

  (e)

  The following table summarizes the provisional amounts and useful lives assigned to identifiable intangible assets:

	Weighted- Average Useful Lives (Years)		Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (as previously reported)		Measurement Period Adjustments		Amounts Recognized as of December 31, 2011 (as adjusted)
Partner relationships(1)		7	$	130,183	$	—	$	130,183
Product brands		9		71,888		7,169		79,057
Total identifiable intangible assets acquired		7	$	202,071	$	7,169	$	209,240

• • (1)

    The partner relationships intangible asset represents the value of existing arrangements with various pharmaceutical and biotech companies, for whom PharmaSwiss provides regulatory, compliance, sales, marketing and distribution functions.
    
    

  (f)

  Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the provisional values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

  •

  cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of PharmaSwiss with those of the Company;

  •

  the value of the going-concern element of PharmaSwiss existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

  •

  intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, PharmaSwiss assembled workforce).

• • The provisional amount of goodwill has been allocated to the Company's Branded Generics — Europe business segment as indicated in note 12.

  Acquisition-Related Costs

  The Company has incurred to date $2.1 million of transaction costs directly related to the PharmaSwiss acquisition, which includes expenditures for advisory, legal, valuation, accounting and other similar services. These costs have been expensed as acquisition-related costs.

  Revenue and Net Loss of PharmaSwiss

  The revenues of PharmaSwiss for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2011 were $199.9 million and net loss was $23.5 million. The net loss includes the effects of the acquisition accounting adjustments of $41.6 million, the acquisition-related costs of $2.1 million and acquisition-related restructuring and integration costs of $5.6 million.

  Tetrabenazine

  On June 19, 2009, the Company acquired the worldwide development and commercialization rights to the entire portfolio of tetrabenazine products, including Xenazine® and Nitoman®, held by Cambridge Laboratories (Ireland) Limited and its affiliates (collectively, "Cambridge"). The Company had previously obtained certain licensing rights to tetrabenazine in the U.S. and Canada through the acquisition of Prestwick Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Prestwick") in September 2008. By means of this acquisition, the Company obtained Cambridge's economic interest in the supply of tetrabenazine for the U.S. and Canadian markets, as well as for a number of other countries in Europe and around the world through existing distribution arrangements. In addition, the Company assumed Cambridge's royalty obligations to third parties on the worldwide sales of tetrabenazine.

  This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The total purchase price comprised cash consideration of $200.0 million paid on closing, and additional payments of $12.5 million and $17.5 million due to Cambridge on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively, both of which additional payments had been paid by December 31, 2011. These additional payments were fair valued at $26.8 million, using an imputed interest rate comparable to the Company's available borrowing rate at the date of acquisition, and were recorded in long-term debt (as described in note 14). No gain or loss was recognized in conjunction with the effective settlement of the contractual relationship between Prestwick and Cambridge as a result of this acquisition, as the pre-existing contracts could have been terminated without financial penalty. The Company incurred $5.6 million of costs related to this acquisition, which were expensed as acquisition-related costs in the second quarter of 2009.

  The total fair value of the consideration transferred had been assigned to inventory ($1.1 million), product rights intangible assets ($189.7 million) and acquired IPR&D assets ($36.0 million). The product rights intangible assets have an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately nine years. The projected cash flows from the products were adjusted for the probabilities of genericization and competition from the IPR&D projects described below.

  The acquired IPR&D assets related to a modified-release formulation of tetrabenazine under development initially for the treatment of Tourette's Syndrome (BVF-018) and an isomer of tetrabenazine (RUS-350). A multi-period excess earnings methodology (income approach) was used to determine the estimated fair values of the acquired IPR&D assets. The projected cash flows from these assets were adjusted for the probabilities of successful development and commercialization of each project. A risk-adjusted discount rate of 20% was used to present value the projected cash flows. The fair values assigned to BVF-018 and RUS-350 were $28.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Based on the results of development efforts completed subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company decided to terminate the RUS-350 project in 2009, having determined that the isomer was unlikely to provide meaningful benefits to patients beyond that provided by tetrabenazine, and recorded a charge of $8.0 million to write off the related asset to acquired IPR&D expense. In addition, as described in note 6, the Company terminated the development of BVF-018 in 2010, and recorded a charge of $28.0 million to write off the related asset to acquired IPR&D expense.

  Unaudited Pro Forma Impact of Material Business Combinations

  The following table presents unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, as if the PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2010 and the Merger had occurred as of January 1, 2009. The unaudited pro forma information does not include the license agreement to acquire the rights to Elidel® and Xerese®, as the impact is immaterial to these pro forma results and it was impracticable to obtain the necessary historical information as discrete financial statements for these product lines were not prepared. In addition, the unaudited pro forma information does not include the Dermik acquisition, as it was impracticable to obtain the necessary historical information as discrete financial statements were not prepared.

• The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are based on the historical financial information of the Company, Valeant, PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa. Except to the extent realized in the year ended December 31, 2011, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits that the Company may achieve as a result of the Merger or PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa acquisitions, or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits. In addition, except to the extent recognized in the year ended December 31, 2011, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect the costs to integrate the operations of the Company with Valeant, PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa.

  The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company's consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa acquisitions and the Merger been completed on January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2009, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma information does not purport to project the future results of operations of the Company. The unaudited pro forma information reflects primarily adjustments consistent with the unaudited pro forma information related to the Merger and the following unaudited pro forma adjustments related to PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa:

  •

  elimination of Valeant, PharmaSwiss's, Sanitas's, Ortho Dermatologics's, iNova's and Afexa's historical intangible asset amortization expense;

  •

  additional amortization expense related to the provisional fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired;

  •

  additional depreciation expense related to fair value adjustment to property, plant and equipment acquired;

  •

  elimination of interest expense related to Valeant's legacy 8.375% and 7.625% senior unsecured notes and senior secured term loan that were repaid as part of the Merger transaction;

  •

  additional interest expense associated with the financing obtained by Valeant in connection with the various acquisitions;

  •

  reduced non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of the principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes as a result of the fair value adjustment;

  •

  elimination of the amortization of deferred financing costs recorded by Biovail related to its senior secured credit facility, which was terminated in connection with the Merger;

  •

  additional share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and RSUs issued by Biovail to replace Valeant's stock options and RSUs;

  •

  elimination of Valeant's acquisition-related costs and Merger-related restructuring charges, which will not have a continuing impact on the Company's operations; and

  •

  the exclusion from pro forma earnings in the year ended December 31, 2011 of the acquisition accounting adjustments on Valeant's, PharmaSwiss', Sanitas', Ortho Dermatologics', iNova's and Afexa's inventories that were sold subsequent to the acquisition date of $27.3 million, $18.8 million, $5.2 million, $0.7 million, $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and the exclusion of PharmaSwiss', Sanitas', Ortho Dermatologics', iNova's and Afexa's acquisition-related costs of $2.1 million, $8.4 million, $5.3 million, $3.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2011, and the inclusion of those amounts in pro forma earnings for the corresponding periods of 2010.

• In addition, all of the above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact.

  Other

  In 2011, the Company acquired Ganehill Pty Limited ("Ganehill"), an Australian company engaged in the marketing and distribution of skin care products under the Invisible Zinc® brand. The fair value of the total cash and contingent consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of Ganehill was $19.4 million, which was assigned primarily to product brands intangible assets ($12.7 million) and goodwill ($5.4 million). In addition, the Company acquired the product rights in Greece for Procef®, Niflamol®, Superace®, and Monopril® for total consideration of $12.0 million, which was assigned primarily to identifiable intangible assets. The Company also acquired certain other businesses, including the Canadian rights to Aczone™, Delatestryl® and Viroptic®, for approximately $17.7 million in the aggregate, which was assigned primarily to identifiable intangible assets. The Company also acquired from Fleming and Company, Pharmaceuticals the product rights to a number of brands, including Ocean® and Nephrocaps®. The fair value of the total consideration transferred was $15.7 million, which was assigned primarily to product brands intangible assets. The Company does not consider these acquisitions to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to its consolidated results of operations and is therefore not presenting actual or pro forma financial information.

Cash consideration paid and payable				51,739	Cash(d)
Total fair value of consideration transferred			$	3,932,040

• (a)

  As the Merger was effective at 12:01 a.m. on September 28, 2010, the conversion calculation reflects the closing price of Biovail's common shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") at September 27, 2010.
  
  

  (b)

  The fair value of the vested and partially vested portions of Valeant stock options that were converted into stock options of Biovail was recognized as a component of the consideration transferred, based on a weighted-average fair value of $17.63 per stock option, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This calculation considered the closing price of Biovail's common shares of $26.35 per share as of the Merger Date and the following assumptions:

Expected volatility	32.9%
Expected life	3.4 years
Risk-free interest rate	1.1%
Expected dividend yield	1.5%

• • The expected life of the options was determined by taking into account the contractual life of the options and estimated exercise pattern of the option holders. The expected volatility and risk-free interest rate were determined based on current market information, and the dividend yield was derived based on the expectation of the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share of the Company and no dividends thereafter.

    The fair values of the exchanged Biovail stock options exceeded the fair values of the vested and partially vested Valeant stock options as of the Merger Date in an amount of $17.2 million, which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation expense.

  (c)

  The fair value of the vested portion of Valeant time-based and performance-based RSUs converted into RSUs of Biovail was recognized as a component of the purchase price. The fair value of the vested portion of the Valeant time-based RSUs was determined based on the closing price of Biovail's common shares of $26.35 per share as of the Merger Date. The fair value of Valeant performance-based RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved.

  • The fair value of the exchanged Biovail time-based RSUs exceeded the fair value of the vested and partially vested Valeant time-based RSUs as of the Merger Date in an amount of $3.8 million, which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation expense.

  (d)

  Cash consideration includes $39.7 million of income tax withholdings paid by the Company on behalf of employees of Valeant, in connection with the net share settlement of certain vested Valeant RSUs as of the Merger Date. In addition, under the terms of the Company's employment agreement with J. Michael Pearson, Chief Executive Officer, cash equal to the pre-Merger special dividend payment was paid to Mr. Pearson in respect of any of his 2008 performance awards that vested in February 2011 at the time of such vesting. As of the Merger Date, the aggregate amount of this cash payment in respect of the pre-Merger special dividend was estimated to be $13.7 million, based on the assumption that Mr. Pearson's 2008 performance awards will vest at the maximum performance target. Of that amount, the portion attributable to Mr. Pearson's pre-Merger service ($12.1 million) was recognized in the fair value of consideration transferred, while the portion attributable to Mr. Pearson's post-Merger service ($1.6 million) was recognized as share-based compensation expense over the remaining vesting period from the Merger Date to February 2011.

  Acquired IPR&D assets are initially recognized at fair value and are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. The significant components of the acquired IPR&D assets relate to the development of ezogabine/retigabine in collaboration with Glaxo Group Limited, a subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline plc (the entities within The Glaxo Group of Companies are referred throughout as "GSK"), as an adjunctive treatment for refractory partial-onset seizures in adult patients with epilepsy (as described in note 5), and a number of dermatology products in development for the treatment of severe acne and fungal infections, among other indications.

  As described in note 14, in connection with the Merger, Valeant secured financing of $125.0 million under a senior secured revolving credit facility, $1.0 billion under a senior secured term loan A facility (the "Term Loan A Facility"), and $1.625 billion under a senior secured term loan B facility (the "Term Loan B Facility"), and used a portion of the proceeds to undertake the following transactions prior to the Merger Date:

  •

  fund the payment of the pre-Merger special dividend;

  •

  fund the legal defeasance of Valeant's existing 8.375% and 7.625% senior unsecured notes, by depositing with the trustees amounts sufficient to pay 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, on October 27, 2010; and

  •

  fund the repayment in full of indebtedness under Valeant's existing senior secured term loan.

  • Concurrent with the closing of the Merger, Valeant issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due 2017 (the "2017 Notes") and $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes"). A portion of the proceeds of the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes offering was used to pay down $1.0 billion of the Term Loan B Facility.

    Valeant incurred $118.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the above financings that were ascribed a fair value of nil in the acquisition accounting.

    In addition, as of the Merger Date, Valeant had $225.0 million outstanding principal amount of 4.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2013 (the "4.0% Convertible Notes"). The Company is required to separately account for the liability component and equity component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, as these notes have cash settlement features. The fair value of the 4.0% Convertible Notes was determined to be $446.5 million. A fair value of $220.5 million has been allocated to the liability component in a manner reflecting the Company's interest rate for a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature. The residual of the fair value of $226.0 million represents the carrying amount of the equity component, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital in the Company's consolidated shareholders' equity.

    On April 20, 2011, the Company distributed a notice of redemption to holders of Valeant's 4.0% Convertible Notes, pursuant to which all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes would be redeemed on May 20, 2011 (the "Redemption Date"), at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The 4.0% Convertible Notes called for redemption could be converted at the election of the holders at any time before the close of business on May 19, 2011. Consequently, all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share. For further details regarding the settlement of the 4% Convertible Notes, see note 14 titled "LONG-TERM DEBT".

    The following table summarizes the fair value of long-term debt assumed as of the Merger Date:

	Amounts Recognized as of Merger Date
Term Loan A Facility(1)	$	1,000,000
Term Loan B Facility(1)		500,000
2017 Notes		497,500

Total long-term debt assumed	$	2,913,614

• • (1)

    Effective November 29, 2010, the Term Loan B Facility was repaid in full. Effective March 8, 2011, Valeant terminated the Credit and Guaranty Agreement and repaid the amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility.

  (l)

  Includes the fair value of contingent consideration related to Valeant's acquisition of Princeton Pharma Holdings LLC, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Aton Pharma, Inc. ("Aton"), on May 26, 2010. The aggregate fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $21.6 million as of the Merger Date. The contingent consideration consists of future milestones predominantly based upon the achievement of approval and commercial targets for certain pipeline products (which are included in the fair value ascribed to the IPR&D assets acquired, as described above under (h)). The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could be obligated to pay as contingent consideration ranges from nil to $390.0 million. During 2011, the Company suspended the development of the A002 program. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $16.3 million to write down the IPR&D asset related to the A002 program, which was recognized as Acquired IPR&D in the Company's consolidated statements of income (loss). For further details, see note 12 titled "INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL". The impairment charges were partially offset by a gain of $9.4 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the Company's consolidated statements of income (loss).
  
  

  (m)

  The Company assumed Valeant's existing call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes. These agreements consisted of purchased call options on 15,813,338 common shares of the Company, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of shares, which matured on August 18, 2011. For further details regarding the settlement of these call options, see note 14 titled "LONG-TERM DEBT".

  • In addition, the Company assumed written call option agreements in respect of 3,863,670 common shares of the Company underlying Valeant's 3.0% convertible subordinated notes that matured in August 2010. The written call options on shares underlying the 3.0% convertible subordinated notes expired on November 15, 2010, and were settled over the following 30 business days. On November 19, 2010, the call option agreements were amended to require cash settlement, resulting in the reclassification of the $32.8 million fair value of the written call options as a liability as of that date. The Company recognized a loss of $10.1 million on the written call options settled for cash, which has been included in loss on extinguishment of debt (as described in note 19).

  Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the Merger Date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

  •

  cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of Valeant with those of Biovail;

  •

  the value of the going-concern element of Valeant's existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if Biovail had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

  •

  intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Valeant's assembled workforce), as well as future, as yet unidentified research and development projects.

• (a)

  As previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
  
  

  (b)

  The measurement period adjustments primarily reflect: (i) changes to deferred taxes based on estimates of income tax rates; (ii) changes in the estimated fair value of certain intangible assets; (iii) an increase in the total fair value of consideration transferred pursuant to a working capital adjustment provision of the purchase agreement; and (iv) the tax impact of pre-tax measurement period adjustments. The measurement period adjustments were made to reflect facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, and did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated financial statements and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted those financial statements.
  
  

  (c)

  The fair value of trade accounts receivable acquired was $61.6 million, with the gross contractual amount being $66.8 million, of which the Company expects that $5.2 million will be uncollectible.
  
  

  (d)

  Includes $18.2 million to record PharmaSwiss inventory at its estimated fair value.
  
  

  (e)

  The following table summarizes the provisional amounts and useful lives assigned to identifiable intangible assets:

	Weighted- Average Useful Lives (Years)		Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (as previously reported)		Measurement Period Adjustments		Amounts Recognized as of December 31, 2011 (as adjusted)
Partner relationships(1)		7	$	130,183	$	—	$	130,183
Product brands		9		71,888		7,169		79,057
Total identifiable intangible assets acquired		7	$	202,071	$	7,169	$	209,240

• • (1)

    The partner relationships intangible asset represents the value of existing arrangements with various pharmaceutical and biotech companies, for whom PharmaSwiss provides regulatory, compliance, sales, marketing and distribution functions.
    
    

  (f)

  Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the provisional values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

  •

  cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of PharmaSwiss with those of the Company;

  •

  the value of the going-concern element of PharmaSwiss existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

  •

  intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, PharmaSwiss assembled workforce).
