REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Participants and Administrator of
Cephalon, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Cephalon, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
1. Description of Plan
The following description of the Cephalon, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants in the Plan should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General
Cephalon, Inc. established the Plan effective January 1, 1990 for the benefit of its employees and eligible employees at its participating affiliates (collectively, “Cephalon” or the “Company”). The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), and is subject to the provisions of the ERISA.
Eligibility and Participation
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time U.S. employees of the Company age 21 or older. Eligible employees may enroll on the first day of employment and are vested immediately and fully.
Administration of the Plan
The Company is the Plan administrator. Additionally, the Company is the named fiduciary of the Plan, as well as the Plan sponsor, as defined by ERISA. The Company has delegated the responsibility for the review of investment performance and the selection of investment options for the Plan to an Investment Committee. The Investment Committee operates under a written charter and consists of Company employees who are not compensated for services rendered.
Contributions
As of January 1, 2007, participants were permitted to contribute any whole percentage of their eligible annual pre-tax compensation up to established federal limits on aggregate participant contributions. In 2008 and 2007, the Company made a discretionary matching contribution equal to 100 percent of the employee elected salary deferral up to six percent of eligible compensation.
Participants in the Plan who are age 50 and older are permitted to make additional salary deferral contributions that will qualify as “catch-up” contributions under the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. These catch-up contributions are not eligible for employer matching contributions.
The Company also may contribute an annual discretionary profit sharing contribution. No discretionary profit sharing contributions have been made to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Profit sharing contributions will be made 100% in cash.

401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Company Stock
Participants may direct up to 20 percent of their contributions to purchase units of the Company Stock fund in the Plan.
Participant Accounts
A participant may direct his or her contributions to various investment options offered by the Plan. As of December 31, 2008, the Plan offered 11 Target Retirement Funds, 18 core funds and a Company stock fund as investment options for participants. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s elective contribution and allocations of (a) employer matching contribution, (b) investment earnings, net of investment expenses, (c) the Company’s profit sharing contribution, if applicable and (d) administrative expenses, if applicable. Allocations are based on participant compensation or account balances as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
The brokerage account option was eliminated from the Plan effective December 31, 2007. Effective July 1, 2008, the following funds were added to the Cephalon 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan: Vanguard Target Retirement Funds, Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Fund and Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund. Effective November 3, 2008, the following funds were removed from the Plan: the four Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds, Vanguard Growth and Income Fund Investor Shares and Vanguard Strategic Equity Fund.
As part of these changes, the applicable Vanguard Target Retirement Fund will serve as a Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) for employees who enroll in the Plan but fail to elect their own investments.
Vesting and Forfeitures
Participants are immediately and fully vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon and in all employer matching contributions made to the Plan on their behalf. Discretionary profit sharing contributions, if any, will be fully vested (non-forfeitable). As noted above, no discretionary profit sharing contributions have been made for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
During 2008, forfeited funds that stemmed from excess employer matching contributions to participants during 2007 were returned to the Plan assets and were used to reduce 2008 employer matching contributions by $3,893, with no forfeited funds remaining in Plan assets at December 31, 2008. During 2007, forfeited funds that stemmed from excess employer matching contributions to participants during 2006 were returned to the Plan assets and were used to reduce 2007 employer matching contributions by $23,478 with $104 remaining in Plan assets at December 31, 2007.
Loans to Participants
Active participants may borrow a minimum of $1,000 and up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their account balance. The interest rate for participant loans is the quarterly prime rate at the time

401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
of the inception of such loan plus one percent. Participant loans are secured by the remaining balance in the participant’s account. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, loans outstanding had interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 9.25% and 5.0% to 9.4%, respectively. Loans are repaid via payroll deductions with a portion of such withholding designated as principal repayment and a portion as interest. No loan repayment period may exceed five years, unless such loan was used to acquire the participant’s principal residence, in which case the Plan administrator may extend the period of repayment. Current loans mature at various dates through April 2038.
In the event of termination of employment, a participant’s loan must be repaid in full or it will be treated as a distribution.
Distributions to Participants
Upon termination of service, participants are eligible for a distribution of Plan benefits. Benefits are paid in the form of a single lump-sum amount or may be rolled over to a qualified retirement plan. Benefits representing Company Stock are paid in the form of Company Stock, if requested.
The Plan allows a participant to elect to receive a distribution of his or her account balance if the participant experiences a total disability regardless of their employment status. Participants may also make withdrawals for any reason after attaining age 59-1/2.
In the event of financial hardship (as defined in the Plan) and, if authorized by the Plan administrator, participants may withdraw money from their Plan accounts while they are still employed.
Administrative Expenses
Investment advisory fees for portfolio management are paid directly from fund earnings; they are included in the fund expense ratio. Fees for specific services may be paid by employees. During 2008 and 2007, $8,575 and $7,550 were paid by employees for loan processing and maintenance, respectively. In addition, former employees who choose to keep their funds in the Plan paid a quarterly administrative fee as charged by Vanguard. All other Plan expenses are paid by the Company.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Cephalon, Inc.
401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition
Investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at net asset value, which represents the fair value of shares held by the Plan at year end. The Company stock fund is valued at its year end unit closing price (comprised of year end market price of Company stock plus uninvested cash position). Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on the trade-date basis. Interest income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income.
Payment of Benefits
Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. We adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008.
SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
· Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
· Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
· Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Net depreciation | | $ | (47,150,029 | ) | $ | (2,926,161 | ) |
4. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company reserves the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to change, amend or terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA.
5. Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Plan sponsor by letter dated September 18, 1995, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since its inception and received a favorable determination letter from the IRS on February 25, 2004 for the amendments. The Plan has been amended since receiving the favorable determination letter; however, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.
6. Related Party Transactions
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by The Vanguard Group. The Vanguard Group is an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“VFTC”), the trustee of the Plan. Therefore, transactions in these investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions that are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA.
The Plan invests in Company Stock; such transactions in Company Stock are exempt related party transactions. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Plan purchased shares of Company Stock having values of $1,442,643 and $1,633,472, respectively, and sold shares of Company Stock having values of $686,097 and $2,142,011, respectively, as directed by participants. Loans to participants also qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions.
7. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of certain mutual funds and Company Stock. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risk. Due to the level of the risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants’

account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
8. Reconciliation to Form 5500
The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500 for the years ended December 31:
| | 2008 | | 2007 | |
