AMGEN INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The primary objective of our investment portfolio is to enhance overall returns in an efficient manner while
maintaining safety of principal, prudent levels of liquidity and acceptable levels of risk. Our investment policy
limits debt security investments to certain types of debt and money market instruments issued by institutions with
primarily investment grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by asset class
and issuer.
We review our available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below our cost
basis each quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of an asset may
not be recoverable. This evaluation is based on a number of factors including, the length of time and the extent to
which the fair value has been below our cost basis and adverse conditions related specifically to the security,
including any changes to the credit rating of the security. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we believe the cost
bases for our available-for-sale investments were recoverable in all material respects.
