ORCHID CELLMARK INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis
of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Orchid Cellmark Inc. and its subsidiaries
(the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the US (GAAP) for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for a full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2009, as amended (the Annual Report) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

There have been no changes to the Companys critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Annual Report.

(2) Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share is computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Shareby dividing the net loss for the period by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. During each period presented, the Company has certain options that have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. As
such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share for each period are equal.

(3) Fair
Value Measurements

FASB ASC Subtopic No. 820-10, which incorporates accounting literature formerly known as Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 157, Fair Value Measurements and FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions that Are Not Orderly, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the
exit price). FASB ASC Section No. 820-10-35 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The three tiers include:

(i) Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

(ii) Level 2inputs other than quoted prices included within Level that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly, or quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

(iii) Level 3unobservable inputs for
which little or no market data exists, requiring management to develop its own assumptions.

Our available-for-sale securities
have been classified as Level 1. These investments have initially been valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued typically utilizing third party pricing services. The pricing validate the prices provided by our third party pricing
services by reviewing their pricing methods and matrices, obtaining market values from other pricing sources and analyzing pricing data in certain instances. The unrealized gains and losses in such securities are reflected, net of tax, in
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(8) Restructuring

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized $444 thousand in restructuring expenses related to the consolidation
of its East Lansing, Michigan paternity testing operations into its Dayton, Ohio facility and the consolidation of its Nashville CODIS testing operation into its Dallas, Texas facility. The Company announced the East Lansing consolidation on
October 20, 2009 and substantially completed this consolidation during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Company announced the planned Nashville consolidation on January 14, 2010 and expects to complete this consolidation by
August 31, 2010. The expenses in the first quarter of 2010 relate primarily to employee severance costs.

The Company
currently expects to incur restructuring charges and cash expenditures in connection with these consolidations of $1.8 million to $2.3 million in the aggregate, which includes: severance and retention bonuses for employees in the range of $990
thousand to $1.2 million; relocation in the range of $135 thousand to $185 thousand; recruiting and training costs in connection with the transfer of work of approximately $100 thousand; lease termination costs in the range of $200 thousand to $300
thousand; and equipment relocation and reinstallation costs in the range of $375 thousand to $485 thousand. A substantial portion of these charges and expenditures are expected to be reported in the first three quarters of 2010. The Company
currently expects to offset these restructuring charges and expenditures through annual cost savings of approximately $2.4 million from operational efficiencies, plant and equipment cost reductions and increased scalability.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $389 thousand and $142 thousand, respectively, in
restructuring accruals outstanding that are related to severance and facility obligations.

A summary of the restructuring
activity is as follows (in thousands):

(9) Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has unrecognized income tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions
of $225 in the UK. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The tax years 2007 through 2009 remain open to examination by the UK taxing authorities and the tax years 2006 through
2009 remain open to examination by the US taxing authorities. In addition, the US taxing authorities may examine the tax years from the Companys inception in 1995 through 2005, but are barred from adjusting the tax liabilities in

excess of the net operating losses generated in any of those tax years. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $225 thousand. With
respect to the Companys UK subsidiarys open tax years and based upon the filing of a UK tax return in October 2009, the Company recognized an income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2009 of approximately $385 thousand. The effective
income tax rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were 27% and 28%, respectively, related primarily to the Companys foreign operations.

(10) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements
during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Annual Report, that are of significance, or potential significance to the Company.

In December 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises with Variable
Interest Entities to incorporate the changes made by FASB Statement No. 167 into the FASB Codification. The guidance in this update is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and thus is effective for the Companys
first quarter reporting in 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In December 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810)  Accounting and Reporting for
Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary  A Scope Clarification, which expands the disclosure requirements about deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets. The guidance in this update is effective for periods
beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009 and thus is effective for the Companys first quarter reporting in 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.

(11) Comprehensive Income/Loss

Comprehensive income/loss is comprised of net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities. Total comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $2.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The difference from net loss for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009 consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. Accumulated other comprehensive loss as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

(12) Legal Proceedings

On or about November 21, 2001, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming
us as a defendant, along with certain of our former officers and underwriters. An amended complaint was filed on April 19, 2002. The complaint, as amended, purportedly was filed on behalf of persons purchasing our stock between May 4, 2000
and December 6, 2000, and alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The
amended complaint alleges that, in connection with our May 5, 2000 initial public offering, or IPO, the defendants failed to disclose additional and excessive commissions purportedly solicited by and paid to the underwriter defendants in
exchange for allocating shares of our stock to preferred customers and alleged agreements among the underwriter defendants and preferred customers tying the allocation of IPO shares to agreements to make additional aftermarket purchases at
pre-determined prices. Plaintiffs claim that the failure to disclose these alleged arrangements made our registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in May 2000 and the prospectus, a part of the registration statement, materially false and
misleading. On or about July 15, 2002, we filed a motion to dismiss all of the claims against us and our former officers. On October 9, 2002, the Court dismissed without prejudice only our former officers, Dale R. Pfost and Donald R.
Marvin, from the litigation in exchange for us entering into a tolling agreement with plaintiffs executive committee. On February 19, 2003, we received notice of the Courts decision to dismiss the Section 10(b) claims against
us. Plaintiffs and the defendant issuers involved in related IPO securities litigation, including us, have agreed in principal on a settlement that, upon a one-time surety payment by the defendant issuers insurers, would release the defendant
issuers and the individual officers and directors from claims and any future payments or out-of-pocket costs. On March 10, 2005, the Court issued a memorandum and order (i) preliminarily approving the settlement, contingent on the
parties agreement on modifications of the proposed bar order in the settlement documents, (ii) certifying the parties proposed settlement classes,



8

##### Table of Contents

(iii) certifying the proposed class representatives for the purposes of the settlement only and (iv) setting a further hearing for the purposes of (a) making a final determination as to
the form, substance and program of notice of proposed settlement and (b) scheduling a public fairness hearing in order to determine whether the settlement can be finally approved by the Court. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a fairness
hearing and took the motion for final approval under advisement. On October 5, 2009, the Court granted the plaintiffs motion for an order of final approval of the settlement, plan of allocation and certification of the class. Such
settlement does not require any payment by us to the plaintiffs. The issuers share of the settlement amount is funded by the insurers. Notices of appeal have been filed by six groups of appellants. None of the notices state the basis for
appeal.

In related proceedings against the underwriters, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled on
December 5, 2006 that the certification by the District Court for the Southern District of New York of class actions against the underwriters in six focus cases was vacated and remanded for further proceedings. In so doing, the
Second Circuit ruled that the cases pending on this appeal may not be certified as class actions. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied the plaintiffs petition for rehearing, and no further appeals have been taken.

As a result of the Second Circuits ruling, the plaintiffs and the issuers stipulated on June 22, 2007 that the
Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement with Defendant Issuers and Individuals, which was originally submitted to the Court on June 10, 2004, was terminated, which resolved the motion for final approval of the class action settlement with the
issuers and individual defendants. The Court entered the parties stipulation as an Order on June 25, 2007. As a result of these developments, the plaintiffs have filed amended complaints against the underwriters and focus case
issuers and individuals and are attempting to certify a class action.

In response to the amended complaints, the underwriters
and focus case issuers moved to dismiss the amended complaints. On March 26, 2008, the motion to dismiss was granted in part and denied in part. As a result, the Court will proceed with the plaintiffs amended complaints
against the underwriters and focus case issuers to determine whether class actions can be certified.

We are a
defendant in litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entitled Enzo Biochem, Inc. et al. (Enzo) v. Amersham PLC, et al. (Amersham), filed in October 2002. By their complaint, plaintiffs allege that
certain defendants (i) breached their distributorship agreements by selling certain products for commercial development (which they allege was not authorized), (ii) infringed plaintiffs patents through the sale and use of certain
products, and (iii) are liable for unfair competition and tortious interference with contractual relations. We did not have a contractual relationship with plaintiffs, but we are alleged to have purchased the product at issue from one of the
other defendants. We have sold the business unit that was allegedly engaged in the unlawful conduct. As a result, there is no relevant injunctive relief to be sought from us. The complaint seeks damages in an undisclosed amount. Most of the fact
discovery in the case has been taken, and a Markman hearing to construe the patent claims was conducted in early July 2005. On July 17, 2006, the Court ruled in our favor on its construction of the patents asserted against us, and the
co-defendants, including us, moved for summary judgment on all claims against us in January 2007. A hearing on the defendants motions for summary judgment occurred on July 17-18, 2007, and the Court reserved ruling on the motions, taking
them under advisement. Such matter has been delayed due to the death of the judge and the assignment of a new judge.

In other
litigation brought by Enzo against another defendant under the same patents asserted against us, a Connecticut Federal Court has invalidated the patents asserted there and asserted against us in the New York case. That decision was
reversed in part by the Court of Appeals on March 26, 2010. As a result of these developments, a status conference has been scheduled for May 27, 2010 in the Enzo v. Amersham case.

On June 5, 2008, we and Beckman Coulter, Inc. filed suit against Sequenom, Inc. (Sequenom) in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of California alleging infringement of U.S. patent numbers 5,888,819, 6,004,744 and 6,537,748. This lawsuit seeks damages and injunctive relief. Sequenom filed an answer and counterclaims on August 15, 2008. A reply to the
counterclaims was filed on August 29, 2008. On June 22, 2009, the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal which dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.

On February 12, 2010, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin by Genetic
Technologies Limited naming us as a defendant, along with eight other companies. The complaint, entitled Genetic Technologies Limited v. Beckman Coulter, Inc., et al., alleges that the defendants infringed U.S. Patent No. 5,612,179 through the
sale and use of certain products and services. There is no request for injunctive relief by the plaintiff. We have not been served with the complaint as of yet. We believe the allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves
against such claims.

Additionally, we have certain other claims against us arising from the normal course of our business.
The ultimate resolution of such matters, including those cases disclosed above, in the opinion of management, will not have a material

effect on our financial position and liquidity, but could have a material impact on our results of operations for any reporting period.

(13) Subsequent Event

|Item 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of March 31, 2010 and for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

We
are engaged in the provision of DNA testing services that generate genetic profile information by analyzing an organisms unique genetic identity. We focus our business on DNA testing primarily for human identity and, to a lesser extent,
agricultural applications. In the human identity area, we principally provide DNA testing services for forensic, family relationship and, to a lesser extent, security applications. Forensic DNA testing is primarily used to confirm that a suspect
committed a particular crime, to exonerate an innocent person or to establish or maintain databases of individuals convicted of crimes or, in some instances, arrested in connection with crimes. We are also engaged in the provision of non-DNA
forensic laboratory services. Family relationship DNA testing is used to establish whether two or more people are genetically related. DNA testing is used by individuals and employers in security applications to establish or store a persons
genetic profile for identification purposes in the event of an emergency or accident. In agricultural applications, we provide DNA testing services for selective trait breeding.

We have operations in the United States, or US, and in the United Kingdom, or UK, and the majority of our current customers are based in
these two countries. Our forensic, family relationship and security DNA testing services are conducted in both the US and the UK, while all of our agricultural DNA testing services are conducted in the UK. Based on our review of publicly available
information regarding contract sizes and competitor activity, supplemented by industry publications and third-party market assessment data, we believe that the US and UK are two of the largest existing markets for DNA testing services today. In the
US and UK, a significant amount of our current testing activity is under established non-exclusive contracts with government agencies. These contracts are usually awarded through a sealed bid process and, when awarded, typically have a term from one
to three years. We believe that our experience and reputation as a reliable provider of services to government agencies is a valued credential that can be used in securing both new contracts and renewing existing contracts.

Our operations in the US accounted for 40% and 54% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. We continue to experience significant price competition in our forensics and paternity testing businesses. We are focused on improving our operational execution to increase throughput in our laboratories and lower aggregate operating
costs. In particular, in our forensics business we have reduced our sample processing time and decreased the number of samples that need to be retested. Additionally, we have increased the number of samples processed per analyst. We believe that our
forensic and paternity laboratory testing volumes have increased our operational efficiencies. On October 20, 2009, we announced a consolidation of our East Lansing, Michigan paternity testing operations into our Dayton, Ohio facility which was
substantially completed during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. On January 14, 2010, we announced a planned consolidation of our Nashville, Tennessee forensic DNA testing facility into our Dallas, Texas facility. We believe these
consolidations may lead to additional operational efficiencies, plant and equipment cost reductions and increased scalability.

Our operations in the UK accounted for 60% and 46% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Prior to 2009, a significant portion of our UK revenues were derived through our agreement with LGC Ltd., or LGC. LGC is a provider of analytical and diagnostic services and one of our competitors in providing DNA testing services in
the UK. Our focus is on providing our services directly to UK police forces. In 2006, we were successful in winning forensic work directly with UK police forces and, in February 2008, we were awarded, overall, a significant portion of the service
packages we bid on in the North West/South West and Wales regional tender. We were awarded work from nine of the fourteen police forces that participated in this tender. Under the terms of the award, we are providing forensic services, including DNA
testing of database crime scene samples, forensic casework and database testing services under the UKs Police and Criminal Evidence Act, or PACE, for multiple police forces that collectively tendered their work. This award followed a rigorous
and competitive bidding process. We believe that the actions we have taken to date have enabled us to successfully transition from our prior reliance on revenues derived from LGC to directly providing these services to police forces in the UK. In
addition, we expect the remaining police forces in the UK to solicit initial tenders for forensic services through the UKs National Procurement Plan by the end of 2011.

Operating Highlights

Our revenues are predominately generated from DNA testing services provided to our customers. Our costs and expenses include costs of
service revenues, research and development expenses, marketing and sales expenses, general and administrative expenses, amortization expense and other income and expense. Costs of service revenues consist primarily of salaries and related personnel
costs, laboratory supplies, fees paid for the collection of samples, depreciation and facility expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, laboratory supplies and other expenses related to the design,
development, testing and enhancement of our services. Marketing and sales expenses consist of salaries and benefits for marketing and sales personnel within our organization and all related costs of selling and marketing our services. General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, finance and administrative personnel, professional fees including legal expenses, insurance and other corporate expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, total revenues increased
approximately 1%, while gross margin, as percentage of service revenues, remained consistent at approximately 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to
the same period in 2009, our UK revenues increased by approximately 34% as a result of increased forensics, paternity and immigration revenues due to increased volume. In the US we experienced decreased revenues in our forensic casework testing
services, in addition to decreases in testing services involving DNA profile uploads into the Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS, and individual state databases, as well as decreased revenues from paternity testing services. Gross margin, as a
percentage of service revenue, remained flat as a result of increased efficiencies in our testing services in the US and UK, offset by pricing decreases in our US-based paternity testing services. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our
operating expenses, other than cost of service revenues, increased by approximately 11% as compared to the same period in 2009, as a result of restructuring expenses as well as the impact of the exchange rate movement of the British pound as
compared to the US dollar.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth a quarter-over-quarter comparison of the components of our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010
and 2009:

Revenues

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $14.1 million represented an increase of $165 thousand, or
approximately 1%, as compared to revenues of $14.0 million for the comparable period in 2009.

Our US service revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 of $5.6 million decreased by approximately $1.9 million, or approximately 25%, as compared to $7.4 million for the comparable period in 2009, primarily due to a decrease in forensics casework testing services,
as well as decreased revenues from CODIS and paternity testing services, due in part, to budgetary constraints at the state and local levels.

Revenues from our UK-based testing services of $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased by $2.1 million, or
approximately 34%, as compared to $6.4 million for the comparable period in 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the comparable period in 2009, our UK revenues were favorably impacted by approximately 8% as a result
of the exchange rate movement of the British pound as compared to



12

##### Table of Contents

the US dollar. Our UK-based revenue increase was driven by an increase in forensics revenues, as work awarded under the North West/South West and Waless regional tender and pilot work has
replaced and surpassed revenues previously generated under our previous arrangements with LGC, as well as increases in our paternity and immigration businesses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $14 thousand and $121 thousand, respectively, in other
revenues, specifically license revenues.

Cost of Service Revenues

Cost of service revenues were $9.4 million, or approximately 66% of service revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2010,
compared to $9.2 million, or approximately 66% of service revenues, for three months ended March 31, 2009. For three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the comparable period in 2009, our UK cost of service revenues were
unfavorably impacted by approximately 8% as a result of the exchange rate movement of the British pound as compared to the US dollar. In the US, cost of service revenues for the three months ended March 31, as compared to the comparable period
in 2009, decreased due to lower personnel costs and lower lab supply costs as a result of process improvements. Our gross margin percentage remained consistent as a result of increased efficiencies in our testing services in the US and UK, offset by
pricing decreases in our US-based paternity testing services. On October 20, 2009, we announced a consolidation of our East Lansing, Michigan paternity testing operations into our Dayton, Ohio facility which was substantially completed in the
quarter ended March 31, 2010. On January 14, 2010, we announced a planned consolidation of our Nashville, Tennessee forensic DNA testing facility into our Dallas, Texas facility. We believe these consolidations may lead to additional
operational efficiencies, plant and equipment cost reductions and increased scalability.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $397 thousand and $159 thousand,
respectively. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increased costs associated with the establishment of a CODIS laboratory at our Dallas, Texas testing facility.

Marketing and Sales

Marketing and sales expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The
increase in marketing and sales expenses was primarily due to increased personnel and program costs in the UK, as well as an increase in the exchange rate between the British pound and the US dollar.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $3.8 million and $4.0 million,
respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to decreased legal and professional fees.

Restructuring

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we recognized $444 thousand in restructuring expenses related to the consolidation of our
East Lansing, Michigan paternity testing operations our Dayton, Ohio facility and the consolidation of our Nashville CODIS testing operation into our Dallas, Texas facility. We announced the planned East Lansing consolidation on October 20,
2009 and substantially completed this consolidation during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. We announced the planned Nashville consolidation on January 14, 2010 and expect to complete this consolidation by August 31, 2010. The
expenses in the first quarter of 2010 relate to employee severance costs.

We currently expect to incur restructuring charges
and cash expenditures in connection with these consolidations of $1.8 million to $2.3 million in the aggregate, which includes: severance and retention bonuses for employees in the range of $990 thousand to $1.2 million; relocation in the range of
$135 thousand to $185 thousand; recruiting and training costs in connection with the transfer of work of approximately $100 thousand; lease termination costs in the range of $200 thousand to $300 thousand; and equipment relocation and reinstallation
costs in the range of $375 thousand to $485 thousand. A substantial portion of these charges and expenditures are expected to be reported in first, second and third quarters of 2010. We currently expect to offset these restructuring charges and
expenditures through annual cost savings of approximately $2.4 million from operational efficiencies, plant and equipment cost reductions and increased scalability.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had approximately $389 thousand and
$142 thousand, respectively, in restructuring accruals outstanding that are related to severance and facility obligations.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded $463 thousand and $462 thousand of amortization expense,
respectively.

Income Tax Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded income tax expense of $404 thousand and $143 thousand,
respectively, primarily related to our UK business. No tax benefit was recorded relating to our US business losses as management deemed that it was not likely that such tax benefit would be realized. The effective income tax rates for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were 27% and 28%, respectively, related primarily to our foreign operations.

Net
Loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we reported a net loss of $2.0 million, which represents an
increase of 74% as compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2010, we had $19.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities, as compared
to $18.1 million as of December 31, 2009. Working capital decreased to $23.3 million at March 31, 2010 from $25.2 million at December 31, 2009.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity have been issuances of our securities and other capital raising activities.

The following table sets forth a comparison of the components of our liquidity and capital resources for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009:



|                            |  |                |        |   |          |   |      |          |  |   |        |   |  |       |

Net cash
provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $3.0 million, compared with net cash used in operations of approximately $324 thousand for the comparable period in the prior year. The change in operating cash flows was
mainly a result of improved collections on receivables in the first quarter of 2010. Investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the purchase of available-for-sale securities, as

##### Table of Contents

well as capital expenditures, while financing activities during the three months 2009 primarily consisted of repayments of debt obligations. There were no financing activities for the first
quarter of 2010.

ReliaGene Debt

As part of the acquisition of ReliaGene on October 31, 2007, we assumed $948 thousand in debt comprised of a line of credit and
various notes payable with outstanding balances of $260 thousand and $688 thousand, respectively. The line of credit was fully paid off during 2008 with a then outstanding balance of $170 thousand. The notes payable, which were secured by
ReliaGenes equipment, had interest rates ranging from 4.50% to 8.50% and maturity dates ranging from June 30, 2009 through September 5, 2011. In April 2009, we fully paid off the ReliaGene notes payable, along with all accrued
interest.

Expected Uses of Liquidity in 2010

Throughout 2010, we plan to continue making investments in our business. We expect the following to be significant uses of liquidity: cost
of service revenues, salaries and related personnel costs, laboratory supplies, fees for the collection of samples, facility expenses, marketing expenses and general and administrative costs. Actual expenditures may vary substantially from our
estimates. We also expect to make capital expenditures related to the expansion of our Dallas facility to build a new CODIS laboratory and the expansion of our UK facilities in Abingdon and Chorley. In addition, we may make additional investments in
future acquisitions of businesses or technologies which would increase our capital expenditures.

We believe that our existing
cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operations at least through the next twelve months. We may need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financing to fund future growth opportunities or to operate our ongoing business
activities if our future results of operations fall below our expectations. However, we may not be able to raise additional funds or raise funds on terms that are acceptable to us. If future financing is not available to us, or is not available on
terms acceptable to us, we may not be able to fund our future needs. If we raise funds through equity or convertible securities, our stockholders may experience dilution and our stock price may decline.

We cannot assure you that our business or operations will not change in a manner that would consume available resources more rapidly than
anticipated. We also cannot assure you that we will not require substantial additional funding before we can achieve profitable operations. We also may need additional capital if we seek to acquire other businesses or technologies.

Commitments and Contingencies

There were no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments
as reported in the Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Critical Accounting
Policies

There were no changes during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to our critical accounting policies as
reported in our Annual Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements
during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as amended, that are of significance, or potential
significance to us.

In December 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by
Enterprises with Variable Interest Entities to incorporate the changes made by FASB Statement No. 167 into the FASB Codification. The guidance in this update is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and thus is

##### Table of Contents

effective for our first quarter reporting in 2010. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810)  Accounting and Reporting for
Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary  A Scope Clarification, which expands the disclosure requirements about deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets. The guidance in this update is effective for periods
beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009 and thus is effective for our first quarter reporting in 2010. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.



|Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our exposure to market risk is principally confined to our cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities which are conservative in
nature, with a focus on preservation of capital. Due to the short-term nature of our investments and the investment policies and procedures, we have determined that the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations related to these financial
instruments are not material to our business. There has not been any significant change to the interest rate sensitivity analysis we performed as of December 31, 2009.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our business derives a substantial portion of its revenues from international operations. We record the majority of our foreign
operational transactions, including all cash inflows and outflows, in the local currency, British pound. We record all of our US operational transactions, including cash inflows and outflows, in US dollars. We expect that international sales will
continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues. The significant percentage of our revenues derived from our UK operations makes us vulnerable to future fluctuations in the exchange rate, and while there is currently no material adverse
impact to our financial results, future material adverse exchange rate movements would have an unfavorable translation impact on our consolidated financial results. We are prepared to hedge against any fluctuations in foreign currencies should such
fluctuations have a material economic impact on us, although we have not engaged in hedging activities to date. There has not been any significant change to the foreign currency sensitivity analysis we performed as of December 31, 2009.



|Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2010, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the
companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our President
and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2010 that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable
assurance of achieving their objectives and our President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective at that reasonable assurance
level. However, our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and



16



---

##### Table of Contents

Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, within an organization have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all
potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

On or
about November 21, 2001, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming the Company as a defendant, along with certain of the Companys former officers and underwriters. An amended
complaint was filed on April 19, 2002. The complaint, as amended, purportedly was filed on behalf of persons purchasing the Companys stock between May 4, 2000 and December 6, 2000, and alleges violations

##### Table of Contents

of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
The amended complaint alleges that, in connection with the Companys May 5, 2000 initial public offering, or IPO, the defendants failed to disclose additional and excessive commissions purportedly solicited by and paid to the underwriter
defendants in exchange for allocating shares of the Companys stock to preferred customers and alleged agreements among the underwriter defendants and preferred customers tying the allocation of IPO shares to agreements to make additional
aftermarket purchases at pre-determined prices. Plaintiffs claim that the failure to disclose these alleged arrangements made the Companys registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in May 2000 and the prospectus, a part of the
registration statement, materially false and misleading. On or about July 15, 2002, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all of the claims against the Company and the Companys former officers. On October 9, 2002, the Court dismissed
without prejudice only the Companys former officers, Dale R. Pfost and Donald R. Marvin, from the litigation in exchange for the Company entering into a tolling agreement with plaintiffs executive committee. On February 19, 2003,
the Company received notice of the Courts decision to dismiss the Section 10(b) claims against the Company. Plaintiffs and the defendant issuers involved in related IPO securities litigation, including us, have agreed in principal on a
settlement that, upon a one-time surety payment by the defendant issuers insurers, would release the defendant issuers and the individual officers and directors from claims and any future payments or out-of-pocket costs. On March 10,
2005, the Court issued a memorandum and order (i) preliminarily approving the settlement, contingent on the parties agreement on modifications of the proposed bar order in the settlement documents, (ii) certifying the parties
proposed settlement classes, (iii) certifying the proposed class representatives for the purposes of the settlement only and (iv) setting a further hearing for the purposes of (a) making a final determination as to the form, substance
and program of notice of proposed settlement and (b) scheduling a public fairness hearing in order to determine whether the settlement can be finally approved by the Court. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a fairness hearing and took the
motion for final approval under advisement. On October 5, 2009, the Court granted the plaintiffs motion for an order of final approval of the settlement, plan of allocation and certification of the class. Such settlement does not require
any payment by the Company to the plaintiffs. The issuers share of the settlement amount is funded by the insurers. Notices of appeal have been filed by six groups of appellants. None of the notices state the basis for appeal.

In related proceedings against the underwriters, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled on December 5, 2006
that the certification by the District Court for the Southern District of New York of class actions against the underwriters in six focus cases was vacated and remanded for further proceedings. In so doing, the Second Circuit ruled that
the cases pending on this appeal may not be certified as class actions. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied the plaintiffs petition for rehearing, and no further appeals have been taken.

As a result of the Second Circuits ruling, the plaintiffs and the issuers stipulated on June 22, 2007 that the Stipulation and
Agreement of Settlement with Defendant Issuers and Individuals, which was originally submitted to the Court on June 10, 2004, was terminated, which resolved the motion for final approval of the class action settlement with the issuers and
individual defendants. The Court entered the parties stipulation as an Order on June 25, 2007. As a result of these developments, the plaintiffs have filed amended complaints against the underwriters and focus case issuers and
individuals and are attempting to certify a class action.

In response to the amended complaints, the underwriters and
focus case issuers moved to dismiss the amended complaints. On March 26, 2008, the motion to dismiss was granted in part and denied in part. As a result, the Court will proceed with the plaintiffs amended complaints against
the underwriters and focus case issuers to determine whether class actions can be certified.

The Company is a
defendant in litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entitled Enzo Biochem, Inc. et al. (Enzo) v. Amersham PLC, et al. (Amersham), filed in October 2002. By their complaint, plaintiffs allege that
certain defendants (i) breached their distributorship agreements by selling certain products for commercial development (which they allege was not authorized), (ii) infringed plaintiffs patents through the sale and use of certain
products, and (iii) are liable for unfair competition and tortious interference with contractual relations. The Company did not have a contractual relationship with plaintiffs, but the Company is alleged to have purchased the product at issue
from one of the other defendants. The Company sold the business unit that was allegedly engaged in the unlawful conduct. As a result, there is no relevant injunctive relief to be sought from the Company. The complaint seeks damages in an undisclosed
amount. Most of the fact discovery in the case has been taken, and a Markman hearing to construe the patent claims was conducted in early July 2005. On July 17, 2006, the Court ruled in the Companys favor on its construction of the
patents asserted against the Company, and the co-defendants, including the Company, moved for summary judgment on all claims against the Company in January 2007. A hearing on the defendants motions for summary judgment occurred on
July 17-18, 2007, and the Court reserved ruling on the motions,

taking them under advisement. Such matter has been delayed due to the death of the judge and the assignment of a new judge.

In other litigation brought by Enzo against another defendant under the same patents asserted against us, a Connecticut Federal Court has
invalidated the patents asserted there and asserted against us in the New York case. That decision was reversed in part by the Court of Appeals on March 26, 2010. As a result of these developments, a status conference has been
scheduled for May 27, 2010 in the Enzo v. Amersham case.

On June 5, 2008, the Company and Beckman Coulter, Inc.
filed suit against Sequenom, Inc, or.Sequenom, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging infringement of U.S. patent numbers 5,888,819, 6,004,744 and 6,537,748. This lawsuit seeks damages and injunctive
relief. Sequenom filed an answer and counterclaims on August 15, 2008. A reply to the counterclaims was filed on August 29, 2008. On June 22, 2009, the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal which dismissed the lawsuit with
prejudice.

On February 12, 2010, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Wisconsin by Genetic Technologies Limited naming the Company as a defendant, along with eight other companies. The complaint, entitled Genetic Technologies Limited v. Beckman Coulter, Inc., et al., alleges that the defendants infringed U.S. Patent
No. 5,612,179 through the sale and use of certain products and services. There is no request for injunctive relief by the plaintiff. The Company has not been served with the complaint as of yet. The Company believes the allegations are without
merit and intends to vigorously defend the Company against such claims.

Additionally, the Company has certain other claims
against us arising from the normal course of our business. The ultimate resolution of such matters, including those cases disclosed above, in the opinion of management, will not have a material effect on our financial position and liquidity, but
could have a material impact on the Companys results of operations for any reporting period.
