Consolidated Financial Statements [Abstract]

Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Consolidated Financial Statements:

Basis of Presentation

These interim statements and management's related discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and their related notes and management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2010 Form 10-K"). These interim statements are unaudited. The year-end balance sheet data included in this filing was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have historically operated on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to the last day of the quarter. For ease of presentation, December 31 and September 30 are utilized consistently throughout this report and these financial statements and notes to represent the period-end date. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. When used in these notes, the terms "the Registrant", "IFF," "the Company," "we", "us" and "our" means International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' Consolidated Balance Sheet to conform to the 2011 presentation.

Revisions

The prior year's statement of cash flows has been revised to reflect adjustments to Changes in Other assets and Changes in Other liabilities to properly exclude certain non-cash activity on a gross basis. As a result, $8.1 million was reclassified from Changes in Other assets to Changes in Other liabilities in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. There were no changes to the balance sheet, operating cash flows, net income or stockholder's equity as a result of these revisions in the respective periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued revised guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This revised guidance eliminates the option to present the components of Other comprehensive income ("OCI") as part of the Consolidated Statement of Shareholder's Equity and provides two alternatives for presenting the components of net income and OCI, either: (i) in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or (ii) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of comprehensive income. Additionally, items that are reclassified from OCI to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. Retrospective application will be required and is effective for the Company as of the beginning of 2012. The application of this revised guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but will result in a change in the presentation of the Company's consolidated statements of income and equity.

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance allowing entities the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether or not it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, an entity does not have to perform step one of the goodwill impairment testing. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when performing its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter 2011. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Net Income Per Share

Net Income Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income Per Share

Note 2. Net Income Per Share:

Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Shares in thousands)	2011		2010		2011		2010
Basic		80,644		79,357		80,381		79,078
Assumed dilution under stock plans		984		909		1,041		919

Diluted		81,628		80,266		81,422		79,997

Stock options and stock settled appreciation rights ("SSAR's") to purchase 78,000 and 378,000 shares were outstanding as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share since the impact was anti-dilutive.

We have issued shares of purchased restricted common stock ("PRS") which contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and thus are considered participating securities which are required to be included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. We did not present the two-class method since the difference between basic and diluted net income per share for both common shareholders and PRS shareholders was approximately $0.01 per share or less for each period presented and the number of PRS outstanding as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 was immaterial (approximately 0.6% of the total number of common shares outstanding for both periods). Net income allocated to such PRS was $0.5 million during each of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and $1.5 million and $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Restructuring And Other Charges [Abstract]

Restructuring And Other Charges

Note 3. Restructuring and Other Charges:

During the third quarter 2009, the Company announced the rationalization of its European manufacturing footprint. The rationalization consisted of the closure of the Fragrance Compound facility in Drogheda, Ireland and partial closure of the Fragrance Ingredient plant in Haverhill, UK. The Company completed its negotiations with the Drogheda, Ireland employee representatives during the third quarter 2010 and ceased manufacturing operations at the plant as of September 30, 2010.

Changes in restructuring liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were as follows:


(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)	Employee- Related			Pension			Asset - Related and Other			Total
Balance December 31, 2010	$	3,977		$	—		$	—		$	3,977
Additional charges (reversals), net ⁽¹⁾		(1,156	)		3,877			647			3,368
Non-cash charges		—			(3,139	)		—			(3,139	)
Payments and other costs		(1,240	)		(738	)		(647	)		(2,625	)

Balance September 30, 2011⁽²⁾	$	1,581		$	—		$	—		$	1,581

⁽¹⁾	The reversal of employee-related liabilities is due to certain employees accepting other roles within the Company.

⁽²⁾	$0.5 million of the remaining employee-related liability is classified in Other liabilities as of September 30, 2011 in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During the second quarter 2011, the Company executed a partial settlement of its pension obligations with the former employees of the Drogheda facility. As a result, we recorded a charge of $3.9 million to cover settlements and special termination benefits during the quarter. This settlement was funded primarily through pension plan investment trust assets.

During the third quarter 2011, the Company received a $1.4 million reimbursement from the Ireland government related to severance payments made to the former employees of the Drogheda manufacturing facility in accordance with local statutory laws which is included in Payments and other costs above. A receivable for this reimbursement was recorded at the time the employee-related liabilities were accrued and was reflected as a reduction of the associated liabilities.

In the aggregate as of September 30, 2011, we have recorded expenses of $34.1 million relating to this rationalization, of which $27.8 million was recorded to Restructuring and other charges, net and $6.3 million was recorded to Costs of goods sold, Research and development (R&D) and Selling and administrative expenses. We do not anticipate any further expenses related to this rationalization.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for restructuring and related activities. Description of restructuring activities such as exit and disposal activities, include facts and circumstances leading to the plan, the expected plan completion date, the major types of costs associated with the plan activities, total expected costs, the accrual balance at the end of the period, and the periods over which the remaining accrual will be settled.

Borrowings

Note 6. Borrowings:

Debt consists of the following:


(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)	Rate			Maturities		September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Senior notes—2007		6.40	%		2017-27		500,000			500,000

Less: Current portion of long-term debt						$	(154,652	)	$	(133,899	)

							757,070			787,668

The estimated fair value at September 30, 2011 of our Senior Notes—2007 and Senior Notes—2006 was approximately $604 million and $252 million, respectively. The estimated fair value at December 31, 2010 of our Senior Notes—2007 and Senior Notes—2006 was approximately $585 million and $357 million, respectively. The fair value of our Senior Notes was calculated using discounted cash flows applying current interest rates and current credit spreads based on our own credit risk. The estimated fair value of the remainder of our debt at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 approximated the carrying value.

On July 12, 2011, we made a $100 million debt repayment related to the maturity of our Senior notes – 2006, which was funded primarily through existing cash balances with the remainder coming from our existing credit facility.

On October 11, 2011, the Company entered into a commitment letter with several major financial institutions for a new revolving credit facility that is intended to refinance the Company's existing multicurrency revolving credit facility in advance of its maturity on November 23, 2012. The Company has no obligation to consummate the financing contemplated by this commitment letter and the commitments of the financial institutions thereunder are subject to several conditions. No assurances can be given that the refinancing will be completed, or if it is completed, that the terms of the refinancing will be on similar terms to our existing revolving credit facility.

We expect to repay our Japanese yen note maturing in November 2011 using existing cash balances and/or our existing credit facility.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Note 7. Income Taxes:

As of September 30, 2011, we had $66 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties that, if recognized, would be recorded as a component of income tax expense and would affect our effective tax rate. We recorded $2 million in Other current liabilities and $64 million in Other liabilities.

We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At September 30, 2011, we had accrued $13 million of interest and penalties.

We have several tax audits and/or litigation in process and of these, the most significant is related to ongoing tax assessments and uncertain tax positions within our European operations. While we believe our position in regard to these matters is in accordance with applicable legislation, the local tax authority is challenging our position. We have recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, included in the $66 million amount above, based on our best estimate of uncertain tax positions related to these cases. There could be future events or changes in facts or circumstances that could require us to further increase our liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and if the aforementioned tax assessments are ultimately resolved against us, the resulting increase in our liability for uncertain tax benefits could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows in a particular period.

In addition, we have several other tax audits in process and have open tax years with various taxing jurisdictions that range primarily from 2002 to 2010. Based on currently available information, we do not believe the ultimate outcome of these tax audits and other tax positions related to open tax years, when finalized, will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We regularly repatriate a portion of current year earnings from select non–U.S. subsidiaries. No provision is made for additional taxes on undistributed earnings of subsidiary companies that are intended and planned to be indefinitely invested in such subsidiaries. We intend to, and have plans to, reinvest these earnings indefinitely in our foreign subsidiaries to fund local operations and/or capital projects.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 26.9% compared with 27.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The reduction in the effective tax rate for the three-month period principally reflects a U.S. R&D credit in the 2011 period.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 27.2% compared with 28.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The 2011 nine month period includes a $5.8 million charge to write off deferred tax assets associated with recent U.S. state law changes enacted during the second quarter 2011. This charge was substantially offset by several other items, including approximately $3 million related to reserve reversals on uncertain tax positions, a more favorable mix of earnings and remittances and a U.S. R&D credit in the 2011 period.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Equity Compensation Plans [Abstract]

Equity Compensation Plans

Note 8. Equity Compensation Plans:

We have various plans under which our officers, senior management, other key employees and directors may be granted equity-based awards, including PRS, restricted stock units ("RSU's"), SSAR's or stock options to purchase our common stock.

We offer a Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") for senior management. LTIP plan award payouts are based on meeting certain targeted financial and/or strategic goals established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors early in each three-year LTIP cycle. The targeted payout of each active LTIP cycle is 50% cash and 50% IFF stock. The number of shares for the 50% stock portion is determined by the closing share price on the first trading day at the beginning of the cycle. Generally, an executive may receive a pro-rated payout for each LTIP cycle based on active service during such cycle.

We use the Binomial lattice pricing model for estimating the fair value of SSAR's granted. Principal assumptions used in applying the Binomial model for SSAR's granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:


	2011			2010
Weighted average fair value of SSAR's granted during the period	$	11.47		$	10.41
Assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate		1.7	%		2.2	%
Expected volatility		23.2	%		29.8	%
Expected dividend yield		2.1	%		2.2	%
Expected life, in years		5			5
Termination rate		0.99	%		1.09	%
Exercise multiple		1.43			1.38

Stock option and SSAR activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was as follows:


(SHARE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)	Options/SSARs			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance at December 31, 2010		1,440		$	37.46
Granted		78		$	62.13
Exercised		(421	)	$	37.63

Balance at September 30, 2011		1,097		$	39.09

RSU and PRS activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was as follows:


(SHARE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)	RSU			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Balance at December 31, 2010		1,029		$	40.29
Granted		257		$	59.18
Vested		(269	)	$	43.34
Cancelled		(30	)	$	41.78

Balance at September 30, 2011		987		$	44.83


(SHARE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)	PRS			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Balance at December 31, 2010		525		$	19.32
Granted		174		$	31.05
Vested		(194	)	$	20.45

Balance at September 30, 2011		505		$	22.93

Pre-tax expense related to all forms of equity compensation was as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)	2011		2010		2011		2010
Restricted stock and RSU's	$	3,231	$	5,530	$	18,386	$	15,639
Stock options and SSAR's		313		398		1,070		1,069

Total equity compensation expense	$	3,544	$	5,928	$	19,456	$	16,708

Tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation of $1.1 million and $2.1 million were recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $6.3 million and $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

Note 9. Segment Information:

We are organized into two business segments: Flavors and Fragrances. These segments align with the internal structure used to manage these businesses. Accounting policies used for segment reporting can be found in Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2010 Form 10-K. We evaluate the performance of these segments, which we refer to as business units, based on Operating profit before Interest expense, Other expense, net and Taxes on income.

The Global expenses column represents corporate and headquarters-related expenses which include legal, finance, human resources, certain incentive compensation expenses and other R&D and administrative expenses that are not allocated to individual business units.

During the second quarter 2011, we have settled a portion of the Ireland pension plan as discussed in Note 3. As a result, we recorded a settlement charge and a special termination benefit charge of $3.9 million to recognize a portion of the unrecognized loss related to those employees who have accepted the settlement and for additional benefits credited to those participants accepting a settlement. This settlement was funded primarily through pension plan investment trust assets.

In connection with negotiations completed during the second quarter 2011, we have amended the pension plan for one of our North American Ingredients plants. We recorded a curtailment charge of $0.4 million during the second quarter 2011 to recognize a portion of the unrecognized prior service costs associated with the years of service no longer expected to be rendered and credited as service under the plan.

We expect to contribute $12 - $15 million to our qualified U.S. pension plans and approximately $20 million to our non-U.S. pension plans during 2011. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, no contributions were made to our qualified U.S. pension plan. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, $3.8 million and $11.2 million of contributions were made to the non-U.S. plans, respectively. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, $1.0 million and $2.9 million of benefit payments were made with respect to our non-qualified U.S. pension plan, respectively.

The financial returns of our pension plan investment trusts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 continue to be generally in line with the markets by asset class.

Expense recognized for postretirement benefits other than pensions included the following components:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total postretirement benefit expense	$	1,284		$	1,564		$	3,366		$	4,692

We expect to contribute approximately $6 million to our postretirement benefits other than pension plans during 2011. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, $1.2 million and $3.9 million of contributions were made.

Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

Note 11. Financial Instruments:

Fair Value

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•

Level 1–Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•

Level 2–Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

•

Level 3–Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

This hierarchy requires us to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. We determine the fair value of structured liabilities (where performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation or currency risks) using the London InterBank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") swap curve and forward interest and exchange rates at period end. Such instruments are classified as Level 2 based on the observability of significant inputs to the model.

These valuations take into consideration our credit risk and our counterparties' credit risk. The estimated change in the fair value of these instruments due to such changes in our own credit risk (or instrument-specific credit risk) was immaterial as of September 30, 2011.

Derivatives

We periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts with the objective of reducing exposure to cash flow volatility associated with our intercompany loans, foreign currency receivables and payables, and anticipated purchases of certain raw materials used in operations. These contracts generally involve the exchange of one currency for a second currency at a future date, have maturities not exceeding twelve months and are with counterparties which are major international financial institutions.

In 2003, we executed a 10-year Yen - U.S. dollar currency swap related to the monthly sale and purchase of products between the Company and its Japanese subsidiary which has been designated as a cash flow hedge.

In 2005, we entered into a six-year interest rate swap agreement effectively converting the fixed rate on our long-term Japanese Yen borrowings to a variable short-term rate based on the Tokyo InterBank Offering Rate ("TIBOR") plus an interest markup. This swap was designated as a fair value hedge. Amounts recognized in Interest expense for all periods presented have been immaterial.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we entered into multiple forward currency contracts, which qualified as net investment hedges, in order to mitigate a portion of our net European investments from foreign currency risk. Six of these forward currency contracts matured during the year ended December 31, 2010. The remaining outstanding forward currency contracts matured during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Beginning in December 2010, the Company no longer designated these contracts as net investment hedges. Changes due to differences in the exchange rates for these contracts were recorded in earnings effective December 2010.

During the third quarter of 2010, we entered into two three-year interest rate swap agreements effectively converting the fixed rate on our long term borrowings to a variable short-term rate based on the LIBOR plus an interest mark-up. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges. Amounts recognized in Interest expense have been immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

During the first nine months of 2011, we entered into multiple forward currency contracts which qualified as net investment hedges, in order to mitigate a portion of our net European investments from foreign currency risk. The effective portions of net investment hedges are recorded in OCI as a component of Foreign currency translation adjustments in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. Realized gains/(losses) are deferred in AOCI where they will remain until the net investments in our European subsidiaries are divested. Three of these forward currency contracts matured during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and six of these contracts matured during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The outstanding forward currency contacts have remaining maturities of less than one year.

During the first nine months of 2011 and the second half of 2010, we entered into several forward currency contracts which qualified as cash flow hedges. The objective of these hedges is to protect against the currency risk associated with forecasted US Dollar (USD) denominated raw material purchases made by Euro (EUR) functional currency entities which result from changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI as a component of Gains/(losses) on derivatives qualifying as hedges in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. Realized gains/(losses) in AOCI related to cash flow hedges of raw material purchases are recognized as a component of Cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income in the same period as the related costs are recognized.

No ineffectiveness was experienced in the above noted cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The ineffective portion of the net investment hedges was not material during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Company expects that approximately $1.1 million (net of tax) of derivative gains included in AOCI at September 30, 2011, based on current market rates, will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. The majority of this amount will vary due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Commitments And Contingencies

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]

Commitments And Contingencies

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies:

At September 30, 2011, we had outstanding bank guarantees and undrawn letters of credit from financial institutions. These relate to ongoing business operations, including commercial commitments, and governmental requirements associated with audits or litigation that are in process with various jurisdictions.

We also have contingencies principally related to the jurisdictions in which we operate including such items as value-add taxes and other indirect taxes, customs and duties and sales and use taxes.

The Company assesses contingencies related to litigation and/or other matters to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss. A loss contingency is accrued in the Company's consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly sensitive and requires judgments about future events. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company reviews contingencies related to litigation to determine the adequacy of accruals. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates and further events may require the Company to increase or decrease the amounts it has accrued on any matter. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected, by the unfavorable or favorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

Periodically, we assess our insurance coverage for all known claims, where applicable, taking into account aggregate coverage by occurrence, limits of coverage, self-insured retentions and deductibles, historical claims experience and claims experience with our insurance carriers. The liabilities are recorded at management's best estimate of the probable outcome of the lawsuits and claims, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the individual matters as well as past experience on similar matters. At each balance sheet date, the key issues that management assesses are whether it is probable that a loss as to asserted or unasserted claims has been incurred and if so, whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We record the expected liability with respect to claims in Other liabilities and expected recoveries from our insurance carriers in Other assets. We recognize a receivable when we believe that realization of the insurance receivable is probable under the terms of the insurance policies and our payment experience to date.

Popcorn and Flavor Litigation

From January 2007 through the third quarter of 2011, we had been named as a party to a number of lawsuits and claims related primarily to flavoring supplied by us and by other third party suppliers, in most instances to manufacturers of butter flavored popcorn. During the third quarter 2011, we settled all cases that were then outstanding, approximately 16 actions involving approximately 260 claimants for an amount, net of insurance recoveries, which was not material. Subsequent to the settlement, we have been named as defendants in five new actions involving 13 claimants, that have been brought against us and other flavor suppliers and related companies. These new claims against us primarily arise from allegations based on the same flavoring as those actions which were settled during the third quarter of 2011. With respect to these new claims, individually or in the aggregate, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that (i) any loss has been incurred that exceed amounts already recognized or (ii) the aggregate amount of additional losses, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Patent Claims

A complaint, captioned V. Mane Fils S.A. v. International Flavors and Fragrances Inc. was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in May 2006, and alleges that the Company has and continues to infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 5,725,856 and 5,843,466, relating to a flavor ingredient that may provide a cooling effect. The Company answered the complaint by denying liability, asserting that both patents are invalid and various other defenses. In June 2008, plaintiff amended its complaint to add claims for violations of the Lanham Act, tortious interference and unfair competition. The Company answered the amended complaint by denying all liability. In connection with the patent claims, the plaintiff seeks monetary damages, damages for alleged willful infringement, injunctive relief and fees, costs and interest. In connection with the additional claims, plaintiff also seeks monetary damages, punitive damages, fees and costs. In May 2010, following reexamination of the patents in question by the U.S. Patent Office, all of the patent claims, initially rejected in the reexamination proceeding were reallowed. The Company and the plaintiff have each filed motions for summary judgment with respect to various claims. No trial date has been scheduled. Although the Company denies the allegations and intends to defend its position in Court, the parties are engaged in settlement discussions to try to resolve this litigation. There is no certainty as to whether the parties will settle this case or as to the outcome of the settlement, if any.

We analyze our liability on at least a quarterly basis and accrue for litigation loss contingencies when they are probable and estimable. During the second quarter 2010, we recorded a provision related to this case which is reflected in Other liabilities. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount or realistic range of reasonably possible losses above its recorded liability, if any, that might result if the outcome of this matter is unfavorable. Based on present information, the Company believes that its ultimate liability, if any, arising from this proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Due to the unpredictability regarding the litigation process and the ongoing settlement discussions, such claims, if ultimately resolved against us, could potentially have a material impact on our cash flows or results of operations in a particular period. An adverse outcome could also potentially affect our ability to sell one or more flavor products to the extent the Court ultimately issued an injunction related to the patents. Although settlement discussions are ongoing, the Company disputes the allegations of wrongdoing, believes it has meritorious defenses and is vigorously defending all claims.

Environmental

Over the past approximately 20 years, various federal and state authorities and private parties have claimed that we are a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") as a generator of waste materials for alleged pollution at a number of waste sites operated by third parties located principally in New Jersey and have sought to recover costs incurred and to be incurred to clean up the sites.

We have been identified as a PRP at ten facilities operated by third parties at which investigation and/or remediation activities may be ongoing. We analyze our liability on a regular basis and accrue for environmental liabilities when they are probable and estimable. At September 30, 2011, we estimated our share of the total future costs for these sites to be less than $5 million and we have provided for such future costs based on our best estimate of our share of future costs.

While joint and several liability is authorized under federal and state environmental laws, we believe that the amounts we have paid and anticipate paying in the future for clean-up costs and damages at all sites are not and will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Our assessment is based upon, among other things, the involvement of other PRP's at most sites, the status of the proceedings, including various settlement agreements and consent decrees, the extended time period over which payments will likely be made and an agreement reached in July 1994 with three of our liability insurers pursuant to which defense costs and indemnity amounts payable by us in respect of the sites will be shared by the insurers up to an agreed amount. There can be no assurance, however, that future events will not require us to materially increase the amounts we anticipate paying for clean-up costs and damages at these sites.

Other Contingencies

In addition to the matters above, we are a party to other claims or litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not expect the outcome of these cases, singly or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for commitments and contingencies.

Accumulated change in equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, net of tax effect, at period end. Excludes Net Income (Loss), and accumulated changes in equity from transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Includes foreign currency translation items, certain pension adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities, other than temporary impairment (OTTI) losses related to factors other than credit losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities that an entity does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell before recovery of the amortized cost basis, as well as changes in the fair value of derivatives related to the effective portion of a designated cash flow hedge.

- Definition

Net of tax effect change in accumulated gains and losses from derivative instruments designated and qualifying as the effective portion of cash flow hedges after taxes. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction that is attributable to a particular risk. The change includes an entity's share of an equity investee's increase or decrease in deferred hedging gains or losses. While for technical reasons this element has no balance attribute, the default assumption is a credit balance consistent with its label.
