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) on April 30, 2010.

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 and Marketable Securities

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 validates 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized approximately $1.5 million in restructuring expenses related to the consolidation of the Companys East Lansing, Michigan
paternity testing operations into the Companys Dayton, Ohio facility and the consolidation of its Nashville CODIS testing operation into our 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 substantially completed this consolidation during the quarter ended
September 30, 2010. The expenses in the first three quarters of 2010 relate primarily to employee severance costs.

In
connection with these consolidations, the Company expects to incur aggregate restructuring charges and cash expenditures of $1.8 million to $2.3 million, the majority of which already have been incurred. Such charges and expenditures include:
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 have been
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.

(9) Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has unrecognized income tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions of approximately $223 thousand 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 2007 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 2006, 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 approximately $223 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.

(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 nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Annual Report
that are of significance, or potential significance to the Company.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard
Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU No. 2010-06), which amends the existing fair value measurements and disclosures guidance currently included in Accounting Standards Codification
No. 820 to require additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Specifically, ASU No. 2010-06 requires entities to disclose the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the
reasons for these transfers, the reasons for any transfer in or out of Level 3, and information in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements on a gross basis. In addition, ASU
No. 2010-06 also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for additional disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is in the process
of evaluating these additional disclosure requirements but does not expect they will have a significant impact on its condensed 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 income/(loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $215 thousand and ($1.1)
million, respectively. Total comprehensive income/(loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was ($4.2) million and ($1.1) million, respectively. The difference from net loss for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets
consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments of $202 thousand and unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of $69 thousand.

(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 the Company 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, (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.

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
has 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 the construction of the patents

##### Table of Contents

asserted against the Company, and the co-defendants, including the Company, 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 the Company, a Connecticut Federal
Court has invalidated the patents asserted there and asserted against the Company 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, the Enzo v.
Amersham case has been stayed pending the outcome of the Connecticut Federal Court case.

On June 5, 2008, the Company
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 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 been served with a complaint and has filed an answer. Discovery is
currently being conducted. The Company believes that the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against such claims.

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

(13) Subsequent Event

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these consolidated financial statements were
issued. No significant events occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 September 30, 2010 and for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 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 and other 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 UK accounted for 66% and 55% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, and for 63% and 50% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 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 government agencies and police forces. In 2007, UK police forces
commenced soliciting competitive bids for all forensic testing services in a series of regional tenders. In 2008, the UK government implemented the National Forensic Procurement Project, a formalized bidding process. 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. In August 2010, such contracts were extended for a two-year term ending in 2013. In October 2010, we commenced work for five UK police forces in the East Midlands region under three-year contracts awarded under the
National Forensic Procurement Project. Under the terms of the award, we are conducting DNA analysis of crime scene samples for submission to the National DNA Database. 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 government agencies and police forces in the UK.

Our operations in the US accounted for 34% and 45% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and for 37% and 50% of our total revenues for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We continue to experience 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 CODIS samples that need to be retested. On October 20, 2009, we announced a
consolidation of our East Lansing, Michigan paternity testing operations into our Dayton, Ohio facility which was substantially

##### Table of Contents

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 which was substantially completed in the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Our operating costs have been favorably impacted by the consolidation of our testing facilities. We believe these consolidations may lead to additional
operational efficiencies, plant and equipment cost reductions and increased scalability.

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 September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009, total revenues
increased approximately 18%, while gross margin, as percentage of service revenues, increased five percentage points to approximately 38% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 as
compared to the same period in 2009, our UK revenues increased by approximately 44% as measured in US dollars primarily as a result of increased forensics revenues due to increased volume and, to a lesser extent, increased paternity and immigration
revenues. In the US, we experienced a significant decrease in revenues in our forensic casework business, offset, in part, by a significant increase in revenues from testing services involving DNA profile uploads into the Combined DNA Index System
(CODIS) and individual state databases and an increase in revenues from government paternity testing services. Gross margin, as a percentage of service revenue, increased primarily as a result of higher forensic volume in our UK operations,
partially offset by lower volume and price decreases in our US-based forensic casework business. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our operating expenses, other than cost of service revenues, increased by approximately 19% as
compared to the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of restructuring expenses, as well as increased research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.

Overall, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total revenues
increased approximately 9%, while gross margin, as a percentage of service revenues, increased from approximately 34% to approximately 35%. We experienced revenue increases in our UK forensic, paternity and immigration testing services and in our US
CODIS and individual state database testing services. The significant increase in revenues in our US CODIS testing services was offset by a significant decrease in revenues in our forensic casework business and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in our
paternity testing business. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of service revenue was primarily a result of higher forensic volume in our UK operations, partially offset by lower volume and price decreases in our US-based testing services.
Cost of service revenues increased due to higher personnel costs and lab supplies as a result of the increased volume in our UK operations, partially offset by decreased costs in the US. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our
operating expenses, other than cost of service revenues, increased by approximately 14% as compared to the same period in 2009, as a result of restructuring expenses, as well as increased research and development, and sales and marketing expenses,
partially offset by decreased general and administrative expenses.

Revenues

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $17.3 million represented an increase of $2.6 million, or
approximately 18%, as compared to revenues of $14.7 million for the comparable period in 2009.

Revenues from our UK-based
testing services of $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $3.5 million, or approximately 44%, as compared to $8.0 million for the comparable period in 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010,
as compared to the comparable period in 2009, our UK revenues were unfavorably impacted by approximately 6% as a result of the exchange rate movement of the British pound as compared to the US dollar. Our UK-based revenue increase was driven by a
significant increase in forensics revenues, as work awarded under the North West/South West and Waless regional tender and other government work has replaced and surpassed revenues previously generated under our previous arrangements with LGC,
as well as increases in our paternity and immigration businesses.

Our US service revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 of $5.8 million decreased by approximately $873 thousand, or approximately 13%, as compared to $6.7 million for the comparable period in 2009, primarily due to a decrease in forensics casework testing services due, in part,
to budgetary constraints at the state and local levels. This decrease was partially offset by increases in government paternity testing services and CODIS and individual state database testing services.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $13 thousand and $14 thousand, respectively, in other
revenues, specifically license revenues.

Cost of Service Revenues

Cost of service revenues were $10.8 million, or approximately 62% of service revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2010,
compared to $9.8 million, or approximately 67% of service revenues, for three months ended September 30, 2009. For three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the comparable period in 2009, our UK cost of service revenues were
favorably impacted by approximately 6% as a result of the exchange rate movement of the British pound as compared to the US dollar. Cost of service revenues for the three months ended September 30 2010, as compared to the comparable period in
2009, increased due to higher personnel and lab supplies as a result of increased volume in our UK operations. Our gross margin percentage increased by five percentage points primarily as a result of increased volume in our UK operations partially
offset by price and volume decreases in our US-based 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, which was substantially completed in the quarter
ended September 30, 2010. Our operating costs have been favorably impacted by the consolidation of our testing facilities. 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 the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $344
thousand and $228 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 September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The increase in marketing and sales expenses was primarily due to
increased program costs in the US.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $3.5 million and $3.4 million,
respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increased employee benefit program expenses.

Restructuring

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $538 thousand in restructuring expenses related to the consolidation
of our East Lansing, Michigan paternity testing operations into 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 substantially completed this consolidation during the
quarter ended September 30, 2010. The expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 primarily relate to employee severance costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

During the three months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded $462 thousand and $467 thousand of amortization expense, respectively.

Income Tax Expense

During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded income tax expense of $864 thousand and
$199 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.

Net Loss

For the
three months ended September 30, 2010, we reported a net loss of $665 thousand, which represents an increase of $40 thousand compared to a net loss of $625 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The following table sets forth a comparison of the components of our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Revenues

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $47.1 million represented an increase of $3.8 million, or
approximately 9%, as compared to revenues of $43.3 million for the comparable period in 2009.

Revenues from our UK-based
testing services of $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $7.9 million, or approximately 37%, compared to $21.6 million to the comparable period in 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as
compared to the comparable period in 2009, our UK revenues were unfavorably impacted approximately 1% as a result of the exchange rate movement of the British pound as compared to the US dollar. Our UK-based revenue increase was primarily driven by
a significant increase in forensics revenues, as work awarded under the North West/South West and Waless regional tender and other government work has replaced and surpassed revenues previously generated under our expired LGC agreement. We
also experienced revenue increases in paternity and immigration testing services, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the comparable period in 2009.

Prior to 2009, a significant portion of our UK revenues were derived through our agreement with LGC. Our focus is on providing our
services directly to UK government and police forces. In 2007, UK police forces commenced soliciting competitive bids for all forensic testing services in a series of regional tenders. In 2008, the UK government implemented the National Forensic
Procurement Project, a formalized bidding process. 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. In August 2010, such contracts were extended for a two-year term ending in 2013. In October 2010, we commenced work for five UK police
forces in the East Midlands region, under three-year contracts awarded under the National Forensic Procurement process. Under the terms of the award, we are conducting DNA analysis of crime scene samples for submission to the National DNA Database.
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 government agencies and police forces in the UK.

Our US service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $17.6 million decreased by $4.0 million, or approximately
19%, compared to $21.6 million for the comparable period in 2009, primarily due to a decrease in forensics casework and paternity testing services due, in part, to budgetary constraints at the state and local levels related to forensic casework
testing. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our US CODIS and individual state database testing services.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $27 thousand and $135 thousand, respectively, in other
revenues, specifically license revenues.

Cost of Service Revenues

Cost of service revenues were $30.7 million, or approximately 65% of service revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010,
compared to $28.5 million, or approximately 66% of service revenues, for nine months ended September 30, 2009. For nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the comparable period in 2009, our UK cost of service revenues were
favorably impacted approximately 1% as a result of the exchange rate movement of the British pound as compared to the US dollar. Cost of service revenues for the nine months ended September 30 2010, as compared to the comparable period in 2009,
increased due to higher personnel and lab supplies as a result of increased volume in our UK operations, partially offset by decreased costs in the US as a result of lower volume. Our gross margin percentage increased by one percentage point as a
result of higher volume in our UK operations, partially offset by price and volume decreases in our US-based 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, which was substantially completed in the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Our operating costs have been favorably impacted by the consolidation of our testing facilities. 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $1.2
million and $579 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $4.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The increase in marketing and sales expenses was primarily due to
increased program costs in the US.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $10.6 million and $11.1 million,
respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to decreased legal and professional fees.

Restructuring

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $1.5 million in restructuring expenses related to the consolidation of
the Companys East Lansing, Michigan paternity testing operations into 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 which was substantially completed in the quarter ended
September 30, 2010. The expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily relate to employee severance costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

We recorded amortization expense of $1.4 million during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Income Tax Expense

During the nine months ended September 30,
2010 and 2009, we recorded income tax expense of $1.7 million and $479 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.

Net Loss

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we reported a net loss of $4.3 million, which represents an increase of $1.9 million as compared to a net loss of $2.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September, 2010, we had $18.5 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 $22.5
million at September 30, 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.

Net cash provided by operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $2.4 million, compared with net cash provided by operations of approximately $2.2 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The change in operating cash flows was mainly a result of an
increase in accrued expenses during the first nine months of 2010, offset by the net loss. Investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the purchase and maturity of available-for-sale securities, as
well as capital expenditures, while financing activities during the nine months 2009 primarily consisted of repayments of debt obligations. There were no financing activities for the first nine months 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 September 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 expect to make capital expenditures related to 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-06, Improving
Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU No. 2010-06), which amends the existing fair value measurements and disclosures guidance currently included in Accounting Standards Codification No. 820 to require additional
disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Specifically, ASU No. 2010-06 requires entities to disclose the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for these transfers, the
reasons for any transfer in or out of Level 3, and information in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements on a gross basis. In addition, ASU No. 2010-06 also clarifies the
requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2009, except for additional disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We are in the process of evaluating these additional disclosure
requirements but do not expect they will have a significant impact on our condensed 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. However, all of our operating expenses related to our UK operations also are subject to exchange rate fluctuations and thus provide a natural hedge against such exchange rate movements. Currently, there is no
material adverse impact to our financial results from exchange rate movements. 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 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 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 the 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 our 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, (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 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, the Enzo v. Amersham case has been stayed pending the outcome of the Connecticut Federal Court 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 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 been served with a complaint and have filed an answer. Discovery is
currently being conducted. We believe the allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against such claims.

Additionally, we may 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 our results of operations for any reporting period.
