PART I



|ITEM 1. | Business.
|------- | ---------

Our business
principally involves the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of oral fluid diagnostic products and specimen collection devices using our proprietary oral fluid technologies, as well as other diagnostic products including immunoassays and
other in vitro diagnostic tests that are used on other specimen types. We also manufacture and sell other medical devices used for the removal of benign skin lesions by cryosurgery or freezing. Our diagnostic products include tests which are
performed on a rapid basis at the point of care and tests which are processed in a laboratory. These products are sold in the United States and internationally to various clinical laboratories, hospitals, clinics, community-based organizations and
other public health organizations, distributors, government agencies, physicians offices, and commercial and industrial entities. One of our products is sold in the over-the-counter (OTC) or consumer retail markets in North
America, Europe, Central and South America, and Australia.

In vitro diagnostic testing is the process of analyzing
oral fluid, blood, urine and other bodily fluids or tissue for the presence of specific substances or markers for infectious diseases, drugs of abuse or other conditions. We have targeted the use of oral fluid in our products as a differentiating
factor and believe that it provides a significant competitive advantage over blood and urine. Our oral fluid tests have sensitivity and specificity comparable to blood and/or urine tests. When combined with their ease of use, non-invasive nature,
and cost effectiveness, our oral fluid tests represent a very competitive alternative to the more traditional testing methods in the diagnostic space.

Our Company was formed in May 2000 under Delaware law solely for the purposes of combining two companies, STC Technologies, Inc. (STC Technologies) and Epitope, Inc. (Epitope), and
changing the state of incorporation of Epitope from Oregon to Delaware. STC Technologies and Epitope were merged into our Company on September 29, 2000. Our principal offices are located at 220 East First Street, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015,
and our telephone number is (610) 882-1820.

Additional information about us can be found on our website. Our website
address is www.orasure.com. We make available free of charge through a link provided at such website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Current Reports on Form 8-K and our other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as any amendments to those Reports and filings. These Reports and filings are made available as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed or furnished to the SEC. Our Internet
website and the information contained in or connected to that website are not intended to be incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.

In addition to the above products, we also sell certain immunoassay tests and reagents for insurance risk assessment, substance abuse testing and forensic toxicology applications; an oral fluid Western
blot HIV-1 confirmatory test for confirming positive HIV-1 test results obtained from the use of our OraSure®
collection device; and the FDA 510(k) cleared Q.E.D.® rapid point-of-care saliva alcohol test.

OraQuick® Rapid HIV Test

OraQuick® is our rapid test platform designed to test oral fluid, whole blood (i.e., both finger-stick and venous), plasma and serum samples for the presence of various
antibodies or analytes. The device uses a porous flat pad to collect an oral fluid specimen. After collection, the pad is inserted into a vial containing a pre-measured amount of developer solution and allowed to develop. When blood, plasma or serum
is to be tested, a loop collection device is used to collect a drop of the specimen and mix it in the developer solution, after which the collection pad is inserted into the solution and allowed to develop. In all cases, the specimen and developer
solution then flow through the testing device where test results are observable in approximately 20 minutes. The
OraQuick® device is a screening test and generally requires a confirmation test where an initial positive result
is obtained.

We initially commercialized this technology in the form of our OraQuick® rapid HIV-1/2 antibody test. This is a rapid, point-of-care test which has received FDA approval for the detection
of antibodies to both HIV-1 and HIV-2 in oral fluid, finger-stick whole blood, venous whole blood and plasma. This test is available for use by laboratories located in the United States certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendment
of 1988, or CLIA, to perform moderately complex tests. We have also received a CLIA waiver for use of the OraQuick
ADVANCE® test with oral fluid and finger-stick and venous whole blood. As a result, the test can be used
by numerous additional sites in the United States not certified under CLIA to perform moderately complex tests, such as outreach clinics, community-based organizations and physicians offices.

On the international front, we have obtained a CE mark for our OraQuick ADVANCE® test so that we can sell this product in Europe and other countries accepting the CE mark for commercialization. We
have distributors in place for certain countries and are seeking to increase awareness and expand our distribution network for this product throughout the world.

We believe that the OraQuick ADVANCE® device, because it is approved for detecting antibodies to both HIV-1 and HIV-2 in finger-stick and venous whole blood, oral fluid and plasma samples, provides a
significant competitive advantage in the market for rapid HIV testing in the United States and elsewhere.

OraQuick® HCV Rapid Antibody Test

Another test available on the OraQuick® platform is the OraQuick® HCV rapid antibody test. Like the OraQuick® HIV test, this product is a qualitative test that can detect antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus, or HCV, in oral fluid and other sample types. The OraQuick® HCV test operates in substantially the same manner as the
OraQuick® HIV test.

We have received FDA approval for use of the test in detecting HCV antibodies in venous whole blood and finger-stick
whole blood specimens, making it the first rapid HCV test approved by the FDA for use in the United States. We intend to apply for a CLIA waiver for this product in the near future. Our clinical program for an oral fluid claim for this product is
still underway, although our FDA filing has been delayed pending the completion of additional testing and further discussions with the agency. The OraQuick® HCV test has received a CE mark for use with oral fluid, venous whole blood, finger-stick whole blood, plasma and serum and was made available for sale in Europe in
2010.

We have entered into agreements with Merck & Co. Inc. (Merck, formerly
Schering-Plough) to collaborate on the development and promotion of our OraQuick® HCV test. Under the terms of
these agreements, we have been and may in the future be reimbursed by Merck for a portion of our costs to develop the test and obtain regulatory approvals. In addition, Merck will provide detailing and other promotional support for the test in the
physicians office market in the United States and internationally.

OraSure QuickFlu Rapid Flu A&B Test

The OraSure QuickFlu rapid flu A&B test is an FDA 510(k) cleared rapid qualitative test for the detection of
influenza (flu) Types A and B, including H1N1 viral infections. The test utilizes specimen collected with a nasal swab, nasopharyngeal swab or nasal aspirate/wash. A reagent is first inserted into a test cartridge, the specimen is added and the test
is allowed to flow. Results are available in as little as ten minutes.

The OraSure QuickFlu test is intended to be used
as an aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of influenza and covers a broad range of influenza subtypes, including 2009 H1N1, with proven clinical detection spanning three flu seasons from 2007 through 2009. The test is highly accurate across all
specimen types based on standard culture confirmation with demonstrated sensitivity for influenza Type A at 90% or greater. Additionally, in clinical studies a significant number of culture negative samples that were tested positive with the OraSure
QuickFlu product were determined to be true positives by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing.

This product is manufactured for us under an agreement with Princeton BioMeditech
Corporation. An application for a CLIA waiver for this test is pending with the FDA. The OraSure QuickFlu test is currently available for sale in the U.S.

OraSure® Collection Device

Our OraSure® oral fluid collection device is used in conjunction with screening and confirmatory tests for HIV-1 antibodies and other analytes. This device consists of a small,
treated cotton-fiber pad on a handle that is placed in a persons mouth for two to five minutes. The device collects oral mucosal transudate (OMT), a serum-derived fluid that contains higher concentrations of certain antibodies and
analytes than saliva. As a result, OMT testing is a highly accurate method for detecting HIV-1 infection and other analytes.

The OraSure® collection device is FDA approved for use in the
detection of HIV-1 antibodies and 510(k) cleared for the detection of cocaine and cotinine in oral fluid specimens. In addition, we have received a CE mark for the OraSure® device and our cocaine and cotinine assays, all of which are sold through distributors in Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico and certain other foreign countries.

HIV-1 antibody detection using the OraSure® collection device involves three steps:



| |  |  | Collection of an oral fluid specimen using the OraSure® device;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Screening of the specimen for HIV-1 antibodies at a laboratory with an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) screening test approved by the FDA for use
with the OraSure® device; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Laboratory confirmation of any positive screening test results with our oral fluid Western blot HIV-1 confirmatory test (described below).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A trained health care professional then conveys test results and provides appropriate counseling to the individual who was
tested.

We believe that oral fluid testing has several significant advantages over blood or urine-based systems for
infectious disease testing, for both health care professionals and the individuals being tested. These advantages include eliminating the risk of needle-stick accidents, providing a non-invasive collection technique, requiring minimal training to
administer, providing rapid and efficient collection in almost any setting, and reducing the cost of administration by a trained health care professional.

Intercept® Drug Testing System

A collection device that is substantially similar to the OraSure® device is sold by us under the name
Intercept®, and is used to collect OMT for oral fluid drug testing. We have received FDA 510(k) clearance to use
the Intercept® collection device with laboratory-based EIAs to test for drugs of abuse commonly identified by
the National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA) as the NIDA-5 (i.e., tetrahydrocannabinol (THC or marijuana), cocaine, opiates, amphetamines/methamphetamines and phencyclidine (PCP)), and for barbiturates, methadone
and benzodiazepines. Each of these EIAs is also FDA 510(k) cleared for use with the Intercept® device. Our
Intercept® device and oral fluid assays are sold in the U.S. primarily through laboratory distributors.

We have received a CE mark for the Intercept® device and our oral fluid assays and distribute these products in Canada, the United Kingdom and Mexico.

We believe that the Intercept® device has several advantages over competing urine and other drugs-of-abuse testing products, including its lower total testing cost, its non-invasive nature,
mobility and accuracy, the ease of maintaining a chain-of-custody, the treatment of test subjects with greater dignity, no requirement for specially-prepared collection facilities and difficulty of sample adulteration. The availability of an oral
fluid test is intended to allow our customers to test for drug impairment and eliminate scheduling costs and inconvenience, thereby streamlining the testing process.

In an effort to expand our Intercept® product line and meet the needs of our laboratory customers, we have jointly developed with Roche Diagnostics a
series of homogeneous fully-automated oral fluid drugs of abuse assays. These assays use Roches KIMs (kinetic interaction of micro-particles in solution) technology and will run on various automated analyzers to allow oral fluid samples to be
processed with the same efficiency currently achieved by our laboratory customers with urine-based drug tests. FDA 510(k) clearance has been received for assays to detect PCP, opiates, cocaine and methamphetamines and a 510(k) application for
amphetamines is currently pending before the FDA. Clinical studies for THC and barbiturate assays are in process, and the parties are continuing to develop several other assays pursuant to their joint development agreement.

The high-throughput assays will be distributed in the U.S. and internationally by OraSure and Roche pursuant to a commercialization
agreement between the parties. We expect the initial U.S. commercial launch of the assays to occur later in 2011.

Cryosurgical Systems (Skin Lesion Removal Products)

The Histofreezer® cryosurgical removal system is a low-cost alternative to liquid nitrogen and other methods for removal of warts and other benign skin lesions by physicians. The
Histofreezer® product mixes three environmentally friendly cryogenic gases in a small aerosol canister. When
released, these gases are delivered to a specially designed foam bud, cooling the bud to a maximum of 50°C to 55°C. The frozen bud is then applied to the wart or lesion for 15 to 40 seconds (depending on the type of lesion)
creating localized destruction of the target area by freezing. We have received 510(k) clearance for use of the
Histofreezer® product to remove common warts and eight other types of benign skin lesions, and this product has
been CE marked and registered for distribution in Canada, throughout Europe and in certain other foreign countries.

We have also received FDA 510(k) clearance to market and sell a cryosurgical product similar to the Histofreezer® product in the OTC or retail market for the removal of common and plantar warts only. In 2009, we began directly selling our cryosurgical wart product in the U.S. OTC
market under a new national brand called Freeze n Clear Skin Clinic. However, due to the limited revenues derived from this product, competing priorities and limited corporate funding, we decided to stop selling this product in the U.S.
at the end of 2010.

Internationally, we distribute an OTC cryosurgical product through our distributor Genomma Labs, under
the POINTTS tradename, in Mexico and a number of South and Central American countries. We also distribute a CE marked cryosurgical wart removal product into the OTC footcare market in Europe, Australia and New Zealand through our distributor,
Reckitt Benckiser (successor to SSL International) (Reckitt), under the Scholl and Dr. Scholl trademarks. Reckitt is the owner of the Scholl and Dr. Scholl trademarks in countries outside North and South America. We intend to
sell OTC cryosurgical products for the treatment of both warts and skin tags to retailers in Canada on a private label basis beginning in 2011.

Immunoassay Tests and Reagents

We develop and sell
immunoassay tests in two formats, known as MICRO-PLATE and AUTO-LYTE®, to meet the specific needs of our
customers.

In a MICRO-PLATE kit, the sample to be tested is placed into a small plastic receptacle,
called a microwell, along with the reagents. The result of the test is determined by the color of the microwell upon completion of the reaction. Controlling the reaction involves the use of reagents by laboratory personnel. Test results are analyzed
by any of a variety of commercially available laboratory instruments, which we may also provide to our laboratory customers. MICRO-PLATE tests can be performed on commonly used instruments and can detect drugs in urine, serum and sweat specimens.
MICRO-PLATE tests are also used as part of the Intercept® product line to detect drugs of abuse in oral fluid
specimens.

AUTO-LYTE® tests are sold in the form of bottles of liquid reagents. These reagents are run on commercially available laboratory-based automated analytical instruments, which
are manufactured by a variety



6



---

of third parties. AUTO-LYTE® is typically used in high
volume, automated, commercial reference insurance laboratories to detect certain drugs or chemicals in urine. Test results are produced quickly, allowing for high throughput. Our AUTO-LYTE® tests continue to face strong competition from cheaper home-brew tests developed internally by our laboratory customers. As a result, we may eventually
stop selling our AUTO-LYTE® tests.

Western blot HIV-1 Confirmatory Test

We sell an oral
fluid Western blot HIV-1 confirmatory test that received premarket approval from the FDA in 1996. This test uses the original specimen collected with the OraSure® oral fluid collection device to confirm positive results of initial oral fluid HIV-1 EIA screening tests.

Q.E.D.® Saliva Alcohol Test

Our Q.E.D.® saliva alcohol test is a point-of-care test device that is a cost-effective alternative to breath or blood alcohol testing. The test is a quantitative, saliva-based
method for the detection of ethanol, has been cleared for sale by the FDA and has received a CLIA waiver. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has also approved the test.

Each Q.E.D.® test kit contains a collection stick that is used to collect a sample of saliva and a disposable detection device that displays results in a format similar to a
thermometer. The Q.E.D.® device is easy to operate and instrumentation is not required to read the result. The
product has a testing range of 0 to 0.145% blood alcohol and produces results in approximately two minutes.

Products Under Development

OraQuick® Platform

We believe
that OraQuick® has significant potential as a point-of-care testing platform for clinics and other public health
entities, hospitals, physicians offices and other markets. Because the OraQuick® platform is simple to use
and can operate in a non-invasive manner with oral fluid, we believe it will be suitable for use by consumers without the assistance of a doctor or other medical professional. We also believe that OraQuick® provides a platform technology that can be modified for detection of a variety of infectious diseases in addition to
HIV, such as viral hepatitis and certain sexually transmitted diseases.

We are currently devoting
significant resources to obtaining FDA approval to sell our OraQuick® HIV-1/2 test in the United States OTC
market. We have developed an information and referral system and product packaging and labeling suitable for the OTC market. In late 2010, we received an investigational device exemption (IDE) from the FDA which allowed us to commence
the final phase of clinical testing for this product. This final phase consists of an unobserved user study that is designed to assess an individuals ability to conduct self-testing of an oral fluid sample collected with the investigational
OTC version of the test in an unsupervised setting. We expect this clinical phase to continue during 2011, and we intend to submit an application for FDA approval after the study is completed.

Several other new products using the OraQuick® technology platform are in varying stages of development. These include a second generation OraQuick® HIV-1/2 antibody test, which we believe will provide improved performance compared to our current product, along with assays for certain other infectious diseases.

OraSure®/Intercept® Applications

Oral mucosal transudate, or OMT, contains many constituents found in blood and serum, although in
lower concentrations. We believe the OraSure® and Intercept® devices are a platform technology with a wide variety of potential applications, where laboratory testing is available. For example, the OraSure® device may be useful for the collection of a variety of antibodies or markers for infectious diseases or conditions
in addition to HIV-1, such as antibodies to viral hepatitis.

In 2004, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) issued proposed regulations for oral fluid drug testing for federal workers. Although these proposed regulations were withdrawn, we believe that SAMHSA, through its Drug Testing Advisory Board, may attempt to promulgate new
regulations that will include oral fluid as an approved testing matrix for federally-regulated workers. If and when issued in final form, these regulations may require certain modifications to our Intercept® product in order to permit its use by federal workers. As a result, we are developing modifications to the Intercept® collection device that we anticipate will be required by these regulations or otherwise desired by our customers.
This new version of our Intercept® device is also expected eventually to be used with the high-throughput drug
assays jointly developed with Roche Diagnostics.

Research and Development

In 2010, our research and development activities focused primarily on clinical and regulatory activities related to
obtaining PMA approval for our OraQuick® HCV test, planning and implementation of the final phase of clinical
testing for FDA approval of an OraQuick® HIV OTC test, development of next generation versions of our OraQuick® HIV and Intercept® products and assessing initial feasibility of certain other products.

From time to time, we have contracted with third parties to conduct research and development activities and we may do so in the future.

Research and development expenses were $13.2 million in 2010, $13.4 million in 2009 and $20.3 million in 2008. These expenses include our
costs associated with research and development, regulatory affairs, clinical trials and product support.

Sales and Marketing

We attempt to reach our major target markets through a combination of direct sales, strategic collaborations and
independent distributors. Our marketing strategy is to create or raise awareness through a full array of marketing activities, which include trade shows, print advertising, special programs and distributor promotions, in order to stimulate sales in
each target market.

We market our products in the United States and internationally. Revenues attributable to customers in
the United States were $63.5 million, $62.2 million and $57.4 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenues attributable to international customers amounted to $11.5 million, $14.8 million and $13.7 million, or 15%, 19% and 19% of our total
revenues, in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Infectious Disease Testing

We market the OraQuick ADVANCE® rapid HIV-1/2 antibody test directly to customers in the public health market for HIV testing. This market consists of a broad range of clinics and laboratories and
includes states, counties, and other governmental agencies, family planning clinics, colleges and universities, correctional facilities and the military. There are also a number of organizations in the public health market, such as AIDS service
organizations and various community-based organizations, that are set up primarily for the purpose of encouraging and enabling HIV testing. We also sell our OraQuick ADVANCE® test directly to hospitals in the U.S. and through distributors into the U.S. physician market. Beginning in 2011, we have engaged two manufacturers
representative organizations to assist in sales to U.S. physicians.

Internationally, we distribute our
OraQuick® HIV test in Europe and other foreign countries. We expect to increase the number of countries where
this product is sold as we find new distributors and complete registrations in additional countries.

We
market the OraSure® oral fluid collection device for HIV-1 testing, on its own and as a kit in combination with
laboratory testing services. To better serve our public health customers, we have contracted



8



---

with two commercial laboratories to provide prepackaged
OraSure® test kits, with prepaid laboratory testing and specimen shipping costs included. We also sell the
OraSure® device in the international public health market.

In June 2010, we received FDA approval of our OraQuick® HCV test for use with venous whole blood specimens, and in February 2011 we received FDA approval of a finger-stick whole blood claim for this product. We intend to
apply for a CLIA waiver for this product in the near future. Based on the FDA approvals received to date, our
OraQuick® HCV test is currently sold primarily in the U.S. hospital market. Receipt of a CLIA waiver will enable
us to expand sales of this product into the U.S. public health and physician office markets. In late 2009, we received CE mark approval for this test for use with oral fluid, finger-stick whole blood, venous whole blood, serum and plasma samples and
began selling this product in 2010 through distributors in Europe and other countries.

We previously
entered into agreements with Merck to collaborate on the development and promotion of our OraQuick® HCV test.
Under the terms of these agreements, we have been and in the future may be reimbursed by Merck for a portion of our costs to develop the test and obtain regulatory approvals. Merck will also provide detailing and other promotional support for the
test in the physicians office market in the United States and internationally.

In January 2011, we obtained
distribution rights to an FDA 510(k) cleared rapid flu A&B test. This product is being supplied to us by Princeton BioMeditech Corporation and will be sold under our proprietary OraSure QuickFlu tradename. Under our agreement with
Princeton BioMeditech, we will sell this product into the U.S. hospital and public health markets. An application for a CLIA waiver for this test is currently pending with the FDA.

Substance Abuse Testing

Our substance abuse testing products are marketed to laboratories serving the workplace testing, forensic toxicology, criminal justice and drug rehabilitation markets.

We have entered into agreements for the distribution of Intercept® collection devices and associated MICRO-PLATE assays for drugs-of-abuse testing in the workplace testing market in the United States and Canada through several
laboratory distributors, including Quest Diagnostics (Quest) and Clinical Reference Laboratory (CRL), and internationally for workplace, criminal justice and forensic toxicology testing through other distributors. In some
cases, we assist our laboratory customers in customizing their testing services by selling them equipment required to test oral fluid specimens collected with the Intercept® device.

We also market
the Intercept® collection device on its own and as a kit in combination with laboratory testing services. To
better serve our workplace customers, we have contracted with two commercial laboratories to provide prepackaged
Intercept® test kits, with prepaid laboratory testing and specimen shipping costs included.

The criminal justice market in the United States for our substance abuse testing products consists of a wide variety of entities in the
criminal justice system that require drug screening, such as pre-trial services, parole and probation officers, police forces, drug courts, prisons, drug treatment programs and community/family service programs. The forensic toxicology market
consists of several hundred laboratories including federal, state and county crime laboratories, medical examiner laboratories and reference laboratories.

As discussed above, the FDA has issued 510(k) clearances for the use of fully-automated high-throughput oral fluid assays for the detection of PCP, opiates, cocaine and methamphetamines with oral fluid
samples collected with our Intercept® device. An application for 510(k) clearance of an assay for detection of
amphetamines is pending before the FDA, and the clinical studies for marijuana and barbiturates are underway. We expect to begin selling the cleared assays as part of our Intercept® drug testing system into the workplace, criminal justice, hospital and government markets in collaboration with Roche Diagnostics later in 2011.

We distribute our
Q.E.D.® saliva alcohol test primarily through various distributors in the United States and internationally. The
markets for alcohol testing are relatively small and fragmented with a broad range of legal and procedural barriers to entry. Markets range from law enforcement testing to workplace testing of employees in safety sensitive occupations. Typical usage
situations include pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable-cause and return-to-duty testing.

Cryosurgical
Systems

Most of our Histofreezer® sales occur in the United States to distributors that, in turn, resell the product to primary care physicians and podiatrists in the United States. Our major U.S.
distributors include Cardinal Healthcare, McKesson HBOC, Physicians Sales & Service, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, and Henry Schein. We have entered into agreements with two manufacturers representative organizations under which a
contract salesforce is helping our U.S. distributors promote and sell Histofreezer®. Internationally, we sell
the Histofreezer® product through a network of distributors in more than 20 countries worldwide.

We distribute cryosurgical wart removal products in the OTC footcare market in Europe, Australia and New Zealand through our distributor,
Reckitt, under its Scholl and Dr. Scholl tradenames, and in the OTC markets in Mexico and several Central and South American countries under the POINTTS tradename through our distributor, Genomma Labs. In early 2009, we re-launched our OTC
cryosurgical wart product in the U.S. under our own proprietary national brand called Freeze n Clear Skin Clinic. However, due to limited revenues derived from this product, competing priorities and limited corporate funding, we decided
to stop selling our OTC product in the U.S. at the end of 2010. Beginning in 2011, we intend to begin selling OTC cryosurgical products for the removal of warts and skin tags under private label arrangements with retailers in Canada.

Insurance Risk Assessment

We currently market the OraSure® oral fluid collection device for
use in screening life insurance applicants in the United States and internationally to test for three of the most important underwriting risk factors: HIV-1, cocaine and cotinine (a metabolite of nicotine). Devices are sold to insurance testing
laboratories, including Quest, Heritage Labs and CRL. These laboratories in turn provide the devices to insurance companies, usually in combination with testing services.

We also promote use of the OraSure® device directly to insurance companies for life insurance risk assessment. Insurance companies then make their own decision regarding which laboratory to use to
supply their collection devices and testing services. We sell our OraSure® Western blot confirmatory test
directly to insurance testing laboratories for use in confirming oral fluid specimens collected with our
OraSure® device that initially test positive for HIV-1.

There exists a wide range of policy limits where our OraSure® product is being used. In general, most of our insurance company customers use the OraSure® device in connection with life insurance policies having face amounts of up to $250,000, with some customers using the device for policies of up to $500,000 in
amount. Some insurance companies have chosen to extend their testing to lower policy limits where they did not test at all before, while others have used OraSure® to replace some of their blood and urine-based testing.

We also sell our AUTO-LYTE® assays and reagents in the insurance
testing market directly to laboratories, including Heritage Labs and CRL.

International Markets

We sell most of our products into international markets primarily through distributors with knowledge of their local markets. Principal
markets include foreign governments, physicians offices, insurance risk assessment, substance abuse, public health and laboratory testing.

We assist our international distributors in registering the products and obtaining required
regulatory approvals in each country, and we provide training and support materials.

Significant Products and Customers

Several different products have contributed significantly to our financial performance, accounting for 10% or more of
our total revenues during the past three years. The OraQuick® rapid HIV testing products, the cryosurgical
systems products, and the OraSure® and Intercept® oral fluid collection devices accounted for total revenues of $40.1 million, $11.9 million and $11.2 million in 2010, $43.8 million, $10.9 million and $12.5 million
in 2009 and $35.3 million, $10.7 million and $13.4 million in 2008, respectively.

We had no individual customers who
accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues in 2010.

Revenue by Segment

We operate our business within one reportable segment and all of our revenues are generated from this one segment. Our revenue is
generated by our product sales and licensing and product development activities. For more information about our revenues from external customers, income and total assets, please see the sections entitled Selected Financial Data and
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 14 to the financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Supply and Manufacturing

Our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV test, OraQuick® HCV test, OraSure® and
Intercept® collection devices, Western blot HIV-1 confirmatory test, AUTOLYTE and MICRO-PLATE assays and QED® saliva alcohol test are all manufactured in our Bethlehem, Pennsylvania facility. We expect to continue to
manufacture these products at this location for the foreseeable future.

We have contracted with a third
party in Thailand for the assembly of the OraQuick® HIV device, in order to supply certain international
markets. This supply agreement had an initial term of one year, and automatically renews for additional annual periods unless either party provides a timely notice of termination prior to the end of an annual period. We believe that other firms
would be able to manufacture the OraQuick® test on terms no less favorable than those set forth in the agreement
if the Thailand contractor would be unable or unwilling to continue manufacturing this product.

We can
purchase the HIV antigen and the nitrocellulose used in the OraQuick® test, the HCV antigen used in the OraQuick® HCV test and the antigen used in the Western blot HIV-1 confirmatory test only from a limited number of sources. If
for any reason these suppliers are unwilling or no longer able to supply our antigen or nitrocellulose needs, we believe that alternative supplies could be obtained at a competitive cost. However, a change in any of the antigens or nitrocellulose
used in our products would require FDA approval and some additional development work. This in turn could require significant time to complete and could disrupt our ability to manufacture and sell the affected products.

Our MICROPLATE and AUTO-LYTE assays require the production of highly specific and sensitive antibodies corresponding to the antigen of
interest. Substantially all our antibody requirements are provided by contract suppliers. We believe that we have adequate reserves of antibody supplies and that we have access to sufficient raw materials for these products.

Our OraSure QuickFlu test is manufactured and supplied by a third party, Princeton BioMeditech.

The Histofreezer® product sold in the U.S. is assembled by U.S. vendors and the Histofreezer® product sold internationally is assembled in The Netherlands by Koninklijke, Utermöhlen, N.V. (Utermöhlen), the company



11



---

from which we acquired the product in 1998. The cryosurgical wart removal products distributed in OTC markets are also assembled by vendors located in the United States. We believe that
additional suppliers of all of our cryosurgical products are available on terms no less favorable than the terms of our existing supply agreements in the event that our current suppliers would be unable or unwilling to continue manufacturing these
products.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had 231 full-time employees, including 65 in sales, marketing and client services; 17 in research and development; 107 in operations, manufacturing, quality control,
information systems, purchasing and shipping; 19 in regulatory affairs; and 23 in administration and finance. This compares to 280 employees as of December 31, 2009. Our employees are not currently represented by a collective bargaining
agreement.

Competition

The diagnostic industry is a multi-billion dollar international industry and is intensely competitive. Many of our competitors are substantially larger than we are, and they have greater financial,
research, manufacturing and marketing resources.

Important competitive factors for our products include product quality,
performance, price, ease of use, customer service and reputation. Industry competition is based on the following:



| |  |  | Scientific and technological capability;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Proprietary know-how;
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | The ability to develop and market products and processes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The ability to obtain FDA or other regulatory approvals;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The ability to manufacture products that meet applicable FDA requirements (i.e., good manufacturing practices);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Commercial execution and strength of distribution;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Access to adequate capital;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | The ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The availability of patent protection.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------

A few large corporations produce a wide variety of diagnostic tests and other medical devices and equipment. A larger number of mid-size companies generally compete only in the diagnostic industry and a
significant number of small companies produce only a few diagnostic products. As a result, the diagnostic test industry is highly fragmented and segmented.

The future market for diagnostic tests is expected to be characterized by consolidation, greater cost consciousness and tighter reimbursement policies. The purchasers of diagnostic products are expected
to place increased emphasis on lowering costs, reducing inventory levels, automation, service and volume discounts. The increased complexity of the market is expected to force many competitors to enter into joint ventures or license certain products
or technologies.

We expect competition to intensify as technological advances are made and become more widely known, and as
new products reach the market. Furthermore, new testing methodologies could be developed in the future that render our products impractical, uneconomical or obsolete. There can be no assurance that our competitors will not succeed in developing or
marketing technologies and products that are more effective than those we develop or that would render our technologies and products obsolete or otherwise commercially unattractive. In



12



---

addition, there can be no assurance that our competitors will not succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for these products, or introduce or commercialize them, before we can do so. These
developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Several companies market or have announced plans to market oral specimen collection devices and tests both within and outside the United States. We expect the number of devices competing with our
Intercept®, OraQuick® and OraSure® devices to
increase as the benefits of oral fluid-based testing become more widely accepted.

Competition in the HIV
testing market is intense and is expected to increase. We believe that the principal competition will continue to come from existing laboratory-based blood tests, point-of-care rapid blood tests, laboratory-based urine assays or other oral
fluid-based tests that may be developed. Our competitors include specialized biotechnology firms, as well as pharmaceutical companies with biotechnology divisions and medical diagnostic companies. Significant competitors for our OraQuick
ADVANCE® rapid HIV-1/2 test, such as the Ortho Diagnostics division of Johnson & Johnson,
Bio-Rad Laboratories and Abbott, sell laboratory-based HIV-1/2 EIAs, and Maxim Biomedical (formerly Calypte, Inc.) sells an HIV-1 screening test for urine, in the United States. MedMira and Trinity Biotech each sell competing rapid HIV-1 blood
tests, and Bio-Rad Laboratories and Alere (formerly Inverness Medical) sell competing rapid HIV-1/2 blood tests in the United States. These tests compete with our OraQuick ADVANCE® test in hospitals and other laboratory settings. In addition, Trinity Biotech and Alere have received CLIA waivers for their rapid HIV tests, and these tests compete
with our OraQuick ADVANCE® test in the markets outside of the traditional hospital and laboratory
settings. These companies, or others, may continue to expand the bodily fluids with which a rapid HIV test may be performed, or develop and commercialize new rapid HIV tests, which would provide further competition for our OraQuick ADVANCE® test. We believe other companies may also seek FDA approval to sell competing rapid HIV tests in the future.

Internationally, our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV test competes against rapid HIV tests sold by a number of other entities, and often these competing tests are sold at prices substantially below the prices we
charge for our OraQuick ADVANCE® test. Alere and Trinity Biotech sell rapid HIV-1/2 blood tests outside
the United States and Calypte has developed a rapid oral fluid HIV test which is now being sold in certain foreign countries. Lower priced rapid HIV blood tests are also sold internationally by various third parties.

The OraQuick® HCV test competes primarily against laboratory-based HCV blood tests. Major suppliers of these competing tests are Abbott Labs, Seimens, Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics,
Roche and Bio-Rad. In non-U.S. countries outside of Europe, we expect that our OraQuick® HCV test will compete
against other rapid HCV blood tests in addition to the laboratory-based tests.

The OraSure QuickFlu test will compete
primarily against other rapid flu tests sold by various third parties into the U.S. hospital and public health markets. The principal suppliers of these competing tests include Quidel and Alere.

The Intercept® drug testing system competes with laboratory-based drug testing products and services using testing matrices such as urine, hair, sweat and oral fluid. Major
competitors include Ansys Technologies, Dade Behring, Psychemedics and Immunalysis.

Our MICRO-PLATE oral
fluid drug assays, which are sold for use with the Intercept® and OraSure® collection devices, continue to come under increasing competitive pressure from home-brew assays
developed internally by our laboratory customers. Our oral fluid MICRO-PLATE assays also compete with urine-based homogeneous assays that are run on fully-automated, random access analyzers. These tests provide strong competitive pressure because
they provide the benefits of automation, including lower costs and short turn-around times. In addition, we believe our competitors are developing oral fluid tests suitable for use on these fully automated homogeneous assay systems and these assays,
if and when they are developed and



13



---

commercialized, will represent a significant competitive threat to our oral fluid MICRO-PLATE business. In order to meet this competition, we are developing and intend to commercialize
fully-automated homogeneous oral fluid drugs of abuse assays with Roche Diagnostics for use with our Intercept®
device.

Our MICRO-PLATE drugs-of-abuse reagents sold in the forensic toxicology market are targeted to forensic testing
laboratories where sensitivity, automation and system solutions are important. In the past, these laboratories have typically had to rely on radioimmunoassay test methods to provide an adequate level of sensitivity. Radioimmunoassays
require radioactive materials, which have a short shelf-life and disposal problems. Our MICRO-PLATE tests meet the laboratories sensitivity needs, run on automated equipment, are not radioimmunoassays, and are offered to the laboratory as a
complete system solution of reagents, instrumentation and software to meet the specific needs of each customer. We compete with both homogeneous and heterogeneous tests manufactured by many companies. Significant competitors in the market for these
assays include Thermo Scientific (formerly Microgenics, Inc.), Roche Diagnostics and Immunalysis.

Sales
of our AUTO-LYTE® urine assays have declined substantially during the past several years, primarily due to
competition from home-brew assays developed internally by our laboratory customers, which can be produced at a cost lower than the price typically paid for our products. Many of our customers no longer purchase our AUTO-LYTE® assays, and we may eventually stop selling this product line.

The Histofreezer® products delivery system and operating temperature, which is warmer than liquid nitrogen, provide us with the opportunity to target sales to primary care
physicians, such as family practitioners, pediatricians and podiatrists. We do not generally target sales to dermatologists because they have the volume of patients required to support the capital costs associated with a liquid nitrogen delivery
system, which is also used to remove warts and other benign skin lesions. Major competitors for the
Histofreezer® product include Cryosurgery, Inc. in the United States and Wartner in Europe. Competition in the
international OTC markets comes primarily from cryosurgical products sold by Wartner and several other firms.

Q.E.D.® has two primary competitors, Ansys Technologies and
Chematics. These companies offer semi-quantitative saliva-based alcohol tests and have received DOT approval. Indirect competitors who offer breath testing equipment include Intoximeters, Dräger and CMI. Although there are lower priced tests on
the market that use oral fluid or breath as a test medium, these tests are qualitative tests that are believed to be substantially lower in quality and provide fewer benefits than our Q.E.D.® test.

Patents and Proprietary Information

We seek patents and other intellectual property rights to protect and preserve our proprietary technology and our right to
capitalize on the results of our research and development activities. We also rely on trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to provide competitive advantages for our products in our markets and to
accelerate new product introductions. We regularly search for third-party patents in fields related to our business to shape our own patent and product commercialization strategies as effectively as possible and to identify licensing opportunities.
United States patents generally have a maximum term of 20 years from the date an application is filed.

We
have ten United States patents and numerous foreign patents for the OraSure® and Intercept® collection devices and technology relating to oral fluid collection, containers for oral fluids, methods to test
oral fluid, formulations for the manufacture of synthetic oral fluid, and methods to control the volume of oral fluid collected and dispersed. The patents expire from January 2013 to September 2022. We have also applied for additional patents, in
both the United States and certain foreign countries, on such products and technology.

We have four
United States patents for our OraQuick ® platform, and we have several related patent applications pending in
the United States and internationally. Three of these patents expire from March to April 2019 and the fourth in August 2027. We have obtained licenses to certain lateral flow patents and to certain



14



---

HIV-1 and HIV-2 patents held by other parties. We also have obtained a license to certain HCV patents which we use to manufacture and sell a rapid HCV test on the OraQuick® or other technology platforms. We obtained these licenses through the payment of certain upfront fees and an
agreement to pay ongoing royalties. We believe these fees and royalties are comparable to those generally paid by other companies under similar arrangements.

We may need to obtain licenses or other rights under, or enter into distribution or other business arrangements in
connection with, certain other intellectual property patents in order to manufacture and sell the OraQuick
ADVANCE® HIV test or other tests that use the same or similar technology platform. See Section 1A,
entitled Risk Factors, for a further discussion of these issues.

We have four United States patents and numerous
foreign patents issued for apparatuses and methods for the topical removal of skin lesions relating to our cryosurgical wart removal products, and we have pending patent applications related to these products in the United States and in certain
foreign countries. These patents expire from July 2012 to January 2014. We have also licensed another patent relating to apparatuses and methods for the topical removal of skin lesions relating to our cryosurgical wart removal products.

We require our employees, consultants, outside collaborators and other advisors to execute confidentiality agreements upon the
commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed by or made known to the individual during the course of the individuals relationship with us is to be kept
confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived by the individual during his or her tenure with us will be our exclusive property.

We own rights to trademarks and service marks that we believe are necessary to conduct our business as
currently operated. In the United States, we own a number of trademarks, including the OraSure®, Intercept®, OraQuick®, OraQuick ADVANCE®,
Histofreezer®, OraSure QuickFlu, Q.E.D.® and AUTO-LYTE® trademarks. We
also own many of these marks and others in several foreign countries. With respect to our international OTC cryosurgical products, the Scholl and Dr. Scholl tradenames are owned by Reckitt in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other countries
outside North and South America, and the POINTTS tradename is owned by Genomma Labs.

Although important, the issuance of a
patent or existence of trademark or trade secret protection does not in itself ensure the success of our business. Competitors may be able to produce products competing with our patented products without infringing our patent rights. Issuance of a
patent in one country generally does not prevent manufacture or sale of the patented product in other countries. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to validity or as to the enforceable scope of the patent. The validity or enforceability
of a patent can be challenged by litigation after its issuance. If the outcome of such litigation is adverse to the owner of the patent, the owners rights could be diminished or withdrawn. Trade secret protection does not prevent independent
discovery and exploitation of the secret product or technique.

Government Regulation

General

Most of our products are regulated by the FDA, certain state and local agencies and comparable regulatory bodies in other countries. This
regulated environment governs almost all aspects of development, production and marketing, including product testing, authorizations to market, labeling, promotion, manufacturing and recordkeeping.

All of our FDA-regulated products require some form of action by the FDA before they can be marketed in the United States. After approval
or clearance by the FDA, we must continue to comply with other FDA requirements applicable to marketed products. Both before and after approval or clearance, failure to comply



15



---

with the FDAs requirements can lead to significant penalties or could disrupt our ability to manufacture and sell these products. In addition, the FDA could refuse permission to obtain
certificates needed to export our products if the agency determines that we are not in compliance.

Domestic Regulation

Most of our products are regulated in the United States as medical devices.

There are two mechanisms by which regulated medical devices can be placed on the market in the United States. Some products may qualify
for clearance under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. To obtain this clearance from the FDA, the manufacturer must provide a premarket notification that it intends to begin marketing the product, and show that the
product is substantially equivalent to another legally marketed product (i.e., that it has the same intended use and is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness). In some
cases, the submission must include data from human clinical studies. Marketing may only commence when the FDA issues a clearance letter finding substantial equivalence. An applicant must submit a 510(k) application at least 90 days before marketing
of the affected product commences. Although FDA clearance may be granted within that 90-day period, in some cases as much as a year or more may be required before clearance is obtained, if at all.

If the medical device does not qualify for the 510(k) procedure (either because it is not substantially equivalent to a legally marketed
device or because it is required by statute and the FDAs regulations to have an approved premarket application, or PMA), the FDA must approve a PMA before marketing can begin. PMAs must demonstrate, among other matters, that the medical device
provides a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. A PMA is typically a complex submission, including the results of preclinical and clinical studies. Preparing a PMA is a detailed and time-consuming process. Once a PMA has been submitted,
the FDA is required to review the submission within 180 days. However, the FDAs review may be, and often is, much longer, often requiring one year or more, and may include requests for additional data and facility inspections before approval
is granted, if at all.

Some of our products are used for non-medical purposes and many of our drugs-of-abuse products sold to
state crime laboratories are for forensic use. The FDA does not currently regulate products used for these purposes.

Every
company that manufactures medical devices distributed in the United States must comply with the FDAs Quality System Regulations (QSRs). These regulations govern the manufacturing process, including design, manufacture, testing,
release, packaging, distribution, documentation and purchasing. In complying with the QSRs, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality to ensure full technical compliance. Companies are also
subject to other post-market and general requirements, including restrictions imposed on marketed products, promotional standards and requirements for recordkeeping and reporting of certain adverse reactions. If there are any modifications made to
our marketed devices, a premarket notification or PMA may be required to be submitted to, and cleared or approved by, the FDA, before the modified device may be marketed. The FDA regularly inspects companies to determine compliance with the QSRs and
other post-market requirements. Failure to comply with statutory requirements and the FDAs regulations can result in warning letters, monetary penalties, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, operating restrictions, total or
partial suspension of production, injunctions, product recalls, seizure of products and criminal prosecution.

The Clinical
Laboratory Improvements Amendments of 1988, or CLIA, prohibit any facility that does laboratory testing on specimens derived from humans from providing information for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the
assessment of, the health of human beings, unless there is in effect for such facility a certificate issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services applicable to the category of examination or procedure performed. Tests may be waived
from this regulatory oversight if they



16



---

meet certain requirements established under CLIA. We consider the applicability of the requirements of CLIA in the design and development of our products. We have obtained a waiver of the CLIA
requirements for both our OraQuick ADVANCE® rapid HIV-1/2 antibody test and our Q.E.D.® alcohol saliva test and may seek similar waivers for certain other products. A CLIA waiver allows certain customers
to use the waived products that may not have been able to use them without complying with applicable quality control and other requirements.

Certain of our products may also be affected by state regulations in the United States. We are presently working with legislators or regulators in certain of these states in an effort to modify or remove
any restrictions affecting our ability to sell products.

International

We are also subject to regulations in foreign countries governing products, human clinical trials and marketing, and may need to obtain
approval from international public health agencies, such as the World Health Organization, in order to sell products in certain countries. Approval processes vary from country to country, and the length of time required for approval or to obtain
other clearances may in some cases be longer than that required for U.S. governmental approvals. We generally pursue approval only in those countries that we believe have a significant market opportunity.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from some 130
countries, established in 1947. The mission of the ISO is to promote the development of standardization and related activities in the world with a view to facilitating the international exchange of goods and services. ISO certification is a
pre-requisite to use of the CE mark and indicates that our quality system complies with standards applicable to activities ranging from initial product design and development through production and distribution. The CE mark is a European Union
(EU) requirement to sell products that fall under the scope of the Medical Devices Directive (MDD) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Directive (IVDD). The CE mark is evidence that the manufacturer and the product meet
the requirements of all applicable directives, including the MDD and IVDD.

We received authorization to
use the CE mark for the OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test, the OraQuick® HCV test, the OraSure® and Intercept® collection
devices, our Histofreezer® product line, and our OTC cryosurgical removal product.

We must also comply with certain registration requirements as dictated by Health Canada, prior to commencing sales in Canada. We have
completed this process for several of our current products and may do so with respect to other products in the future. In addition, Canadian law requires manufacturers of medical devices to have a quality management system that meets various ISO
requirements in order to obtain a license to sell their devices in Canada.

Anti-Kickback and Other Fraud and Abuse Laws

The Federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation, or receipt of any form
of remuneration in return for, or to induce:



| |  |  | The referral of a person;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | The furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The purchase, lease, or order of, or the arrangement or recommendation of the purchasing, leasing, or ordering of any item or service reimbursable
under Medicare, Medicaid, or other governmental programs.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



17



---

Our products are or may be purchased by customers that will seek or receive reimbursement
under Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs. Noncompliance with the federal anti-kickback legislation can result in exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs, and/or restrictions on our ability to operate in
certain jurisdictions, as well as civil and criminal penalties, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The Federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law prohibits the offering or transferring of remuneration to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary that the person knows or should know is likely to influence the
beneficiarys selection of a particular supplier of Medicare or Medicaid payable items or services. Noncompliance can result in civil monetary penalties for each wrongful act, assessment of three times the amount claimed for each item or
service and exclusion from the Federal healthcare programs.

Many states have also adopted some form of anti-kickback laws. A
determination of liability under such laws could result in fines and penalties and restrictions on our ability to operate in these jurisdictions.

We are also subject to other federal and state laws targeting fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry, including false claims laws and marketing conduct laws and laws constraining the sales, marketing
and other promotional activities of manufacturers of medical devices by limiting the kinds of financial arrangements, including sales programs, with physicians, hospitals, laboratories and other potential purchasers of medical devices. Violations of
these laws may be punishable by criminal or civil sanctions, including substantial fines, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. These laws and regulations are wide ranging and
subject to changing interpretation and application. In recent years, there has been greater scrutiny of marketing practices in the medical device industry which has resulted in several government investigations by various government authorities and
the introduction and/or passage of federal and state legislation regulating interactions between medical device manufacturers and healthcare professionals and providers and requiring the disclosure by medical device manufacturers of gifts or other
payments to healthcare professionals and providers. To be in compliance with such disclosure laws, we have implemented necessary systems for accurately tracking gifts and other payments.

We have implemented a written Policy on Interactions with Health Care Professionals, which is based on the Code of Conduct for
Interactions with Health Care Professionals promulgated by the Advanced Medical Technology Association, or AdvaMed, a leading trade association representing medical device manufacturers. The Policy applies to all employees and is intended to comply
with applicable state and federal laws, regulations and government guidance. The Policy addresses interactions related to sales and marketing practices, research and development, product training and education, grants and charitable contributions,
support of third-party educational conferences, and consulting arrangements.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits corporations and individuals from engaging in certain activities to
obtain or retain business or to influence a person working in an official capacity. It is illegal to pay, offer to pay or authorize the payment of anything of value to any foreign government official, government staff member, political party or
political candidate in an attempt to obtain or retain business or to otherwise influence a person working in an official capacity. Our present and future business has and will continue to be subject to the FCPA and various other laws, rules and/or
regulations applicable to us as a result of our international sales.

Environmental Regulation

Because of the nature of our current and proposed research, development, and manufacturing processes, we are subject to stringent federal,
state and local laws, rules, regulations and policies governing the use, generation, manufacture, storage, air emission, effluent discharge and handling and disposal of materials and wastes.

The foregoing discussion of our business should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and accompanying notes included in Item 15 of this Annual Report.



|ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

You
should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report and our other SEC filings, in considering our business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not disclosed or not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. The occurrence of any of the following risks
could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Regulatory Risks

The Need to Obtain Regulatory Approvals Could Increase Our Costs and Adversely Affect Our Financial Performance.

Many of our proposed and existing products are subject to regulation by the FDA and other governmental or public health agencies. In
particular, we are subject to strict governmental controls on the development, manufacture, labeling, distribution and marketing of our products. In addition, we are often required to obtain approval or registration with foreign governments or
regulatory bodies before we can import and sell our products in foreign countries.

The process of obtaining required
approvals or registrations from governmental or public health agencies can involve lengthy and detailed laboratory testing, human clinical trials, sampling activities and other costly, time-consuming procedures. These approvals and registrations can
require the submission of a large amount of clinical data which can be expensive and may require significant time to obtain. It is also possible that a product will not perform at a level needed to generate the clinical data required to obtain
approval or registration. The submission of an application to the FDA or other international regulatory authority does not guarantee that an approval or registration to market the product will be received. A regulatory authority may impose its own
requirements as a condition to granting an approval or registration, may include significant restrictions or limitations as part of any approval or clearance it grants and may delay or refuse to grant approval or registration, even though a product
has been approved without restrictions or limitations in another country or by another agency.

The process required for
approval or registration of our new products can be lengthy and may increase the costs associated with developing those products, as well as the risk that we will not succeed in introducing or selling them in the United States or other countries.
Our future performance depends on, among other things, our estimates as to when and at what cost we will receive regulatory approvals and registrations for new products.

We are conducting the final phase of clinical studies to support an application for FDA approval of our OraQuick® HIV-1/2 test for sale in the United States OTC market. Since a rapid HIV test has never before been approved by the
FDA for OTC use, its approval will depend on our further discussions with the FDA and its advisory committees and our ability to successfully complete the remaining clinical work. In addition, we recently received FDA approval of our OraQuick® HCV test for use with venous whole blood and finger-stick blood specimens, and we plan to seek FDA approval for an
oral fluid claim and a CLIA waiver for this product. There can be no assurance that our clinical trials will support FDA approval of an OraQuick® HIV OTC test or that we will obtain any future approvals for our OraQuick® HCV test. Failure to obtain or any delay in obtaining these approvals for either product could significantly reduce future revenues, increase our costs and adversely
affect our financial performance and prospects.



19



---

In addition, all in vitro diagnostic products that are to be sold in the EU must bear
the CE mark indicating conformance with the essential requirements of the IVDD. We are not permitted to sell our products in the EU without a CE mark. We have obtained the CE mark for several of our existing products. We also intend to obtain CE
mark for certain of our future products and are not aware of any material reason why we will be unable to do so. However, there can be no assurance that compliance with all provisions of the IVDD will be demonstrated and the CE mark will be obtained
or maintained for all products that we desire to sell in the EU. The failure to obtain or maintain the CE mark for one or more of our products could lead to the termination of strategic alliances and agreements for sales of those products in the EU.

Our Ability to Respond to Changes in Regulatory Requirements Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

Newly promulgated regulations could require changes to our products, necessitate additional clinical trials or procedures, or could make
it impractical or impossible for us to market our products for certain uses, in certain markets, or at all. In addition, the FDA and other regulatory authorities have the ability to change the requirements for obtaining product approval and/or
impose new or additional requirements as part of the approval process. These changes or new or additional requirements may occur after the completion of substantial clinical work and other costly development activities. The implementation of such
changes or new or additional requirements may result in additional clinical trials and substantial additional costs and can delay or make it more difficult or complicated to obtain product approvals.

Failure to Comply With FDA or Other Regulatory Requirements May Require Us to Suspend Production of Our Products or Institute a Recall
Which Could Result in Higher Costs and a Loss of Revenues.

Our businesses are extensively regulated by the FDA and other
federal, state and foreign regulatory agencies. Our suppliers and distributors often are subject to similar regulation. These regulations impact many aspects of our operations, and the operations of our suppliers and distributors, including
manufacturing, labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion and record keeping. For example, our manufacturing facilities and those of our suppliers and distributors are, or can be, subject to periodic regulatory
inspections. The FDA and foreign regulatory agencies may require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the performance of approved products or place conditions on any product approvals that could restrict the commercial applications of
those products. In addition, the subsequent discovery of previously unknown problems with a product may result in restrictions on the product, including withdrawal of the product from the market. We are also subject to routine inspection by the FDA
and certain state agencies for compliance with Quality System Requirement and Medical Device Reporting requirements in the United States and other applicable regulations worldwide, including but not limited to ISO regulations.

Although we believe that we have adequate processes in place to ensure compliance with these requirements, the FDA or other regulatory
bodies could force us to stop manufacturing, selling or exporting our products if it concludes that we are out of compliance with applicable regulations. The ability of our suppliers to supply critical components or materials and of our distributors
to sell our products could be adversely affected if their operations are determined to be out of compliance. The FDA and other regulatory bodies could also require us to recall products if we fail to comply with applicable regulations, which could
force us to stop manufacturing and selling such products. Such actions by the FDA and other regulatory bodies could adversely affect our revenues, costs and results of operations.

In the ordinary course of business, we must frequently make subjective judgments with respect to compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. If regulators subsequently disagree with the manner in which we have sought to comply with these regulations, we could be subjected to substantial civil and criminal penalties, as well as product recall, seizure or injunction with
respect to the sale of our products. The assessment of any civil and criminal penalties against us could severely impair our reputation within the industry and any limitation on our ability to manufacture and market our products could have a
material adverse effect on our business.



20



---

Our Inability to Manufacture Products in Accordance With Applicable Specifications,
Performance Standards or Quality Requirements Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

The materials and processes used to
manufacture our products must meet detailed specifications, performance standards and quality requirements to ensure our products will perform in accordance with their label claims, our customers expectations and applicable regulatory
requirements. As a result, our products and the materials used in their manufacture or assembly undergo regular inspections and quality testing. Factors such as defective materials or processes, mechanical failures, human errors, environmental
conditions, changes in materials or production methods by our vendors, and other events or conditions could cause our products or the materials used to produce or assemble our products to fail inspections and quality testing.

Any failure or delay in our ability to meet the applicable specifications, performance standards or quality requirements could adversely
affect our ability to manufacture and sell our products or comply with regulatory requirements. These events could, in turn, adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

We Are Subject to Numerous Government Regulations in Addition to FDA Requirements, Which Could Increase Our Costs or Affect Our
Operations.

In addition to the FDA and other regulations described previously, regulations in some states may restrict our
ability to sell products in those states. While we intend to work with state legislators and regulators to remove or modify any applicable restrictions, there is no guarantee we will be successful in these efforts.

We must also comply with numerous laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental
protection, fire hazard control, disposal of hazardous substances and labor or employment practices. Compliance with these laws or any new or changed laws regulating our business could result in substantial costs. Because of the number and extent of
the laws and regulations affecting our industry, and the number of governmental agencies whose actions could affect our operations, it is impossible to reliably predict the full nature and impact of these requirements. To the extent the costs and
procedures associated with complying with these laws and requirements are substantial or it is determined that we do not comply, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Compliance With Regulations Governing Public Company Corporate Governance and Reporting is Complex and Expensive.

Many laws and regulations impose obligations on public companies, which have increased the scope, complexity and cost of corporate
governance, reporting and disclosure practices. Examples include the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market, The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the SECs requirements for public
companies to provide financial statements in interactive data format using the eXtensible Business Reporting Language, or XBRL, and the International Financial Reporting Standards conversion requirements. Our implementation of certain aspects of
these laws and regulations has required and will continue to require substantial management time and oversight and may require us to incur significant additional accounting and legal costs. We continually evaluate and monitor developments with
respect to new and proposed rules and cannot predict or estimate the ultimate amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. These laws and regulations are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of
specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over a time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated
by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Although we are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, if we fail to comply with any of these requirements, legal proceedings may be
initiated against us and we may be harmed.

Federal and State Laws Pertaining to Healthcare Fraud and Abuse Could Materially
Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We are subject to various federal and state
laws targeting fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry, including anti-kickback laws, false claims laws and marketing conduct laws, including laws constraining the sales, marketing and other promotional activities of manufacturers of medical
devices by limiting the kinds of financial arrangements, including sales programs, with physicians, hospitals, laboratories and other potential purchasers of medical devices. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal or civil sanctions,
including substantial fines, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Many of the existing requirements are new and have not been definitively interpreted by state authorities or
courts, and available guidance is limited. Unless and until we are in full compliance with these laws, we could face enforcement action and fines and other penalties, and could receive adverse publicity, all of which could materially harm our
business. In addition, changes in these laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations, may require us to change our business practices or subject our existing business practices to legal challenges, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Industry, Business and
Strategy

Our Ability to Sell Products Could be Adversely Affected by Competition From New and Existing Diagnostic
Products.

The diagnostics industry is focused on the testing of biological specimens in a laboratory or at the point of
care and is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Many of our principal competitors have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources. As new products enter the market, our products may become obsolete or a competitors
products may be more effective or more effectively marketed and sold than ours. If we fail to maintain and enhance our competitive position, our customers may decide to use products developed by competitors which could result in a loss of revenues.

We also face competition from products which are sold at a lower price. Where this occurs, customers may choose to buy lower
cost products from third parties or we may be forced to sell our products at a lower price, both of which could result in a loss of revenues or a lower gross margin contribution from the sale of our products. We may also be required to increase our
marketing efforts in order to compete effectively, which would increase our costs.

Our Research, Development and
Commercialization Efforts May Not Succeed and Our Competitors May Develop and Commercialize More Effective or Successful Diagnostic Products.

In order to remain competitive, we must regularly commit substantial resources to research and development and the commercialization of new or enhanced products. The research and development process
generally takes a significant amount of time from product inception to commercial launch. This process is conducted in various stages. During each stage there is a substantial risk that we will not achieve our goals on a timely basis, or at all, and
we may have to abandon a new or enhanced product in which we have invested substantial time and money.

During 2010, 2009 and
2008, we incurred $13.2 million, $13.4 million and $20.3 million, respectively, in research and development expenses. We expect to continue to incur significant costs related to our research and development activities.

Successful products require significant development and investment, including testing, to demonstrate their cost-effectiveness or other
benefits prior to commercialization. In addition, regulatory approval must be obtained before most products may be sold. Additional development efforts on these products can be required before any



22



---

regulatory authority will review them. As noted above, regulatory authorities may not approve these products for commercial sale or can substantially delay approval. In addition, even if a
product is developed and all applicable regulatory approvals are obtained, there may be little or no market for the product. Accordingly, if we fail to develop and gain commercial acceptance for our products, or if competitors develop more effective
products or a greater number of successful new products, customers may decide to use products developed by our competitors. This would result in a loss of revenues and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and business.

Failure to Achieve Our Financial and Strategic Objectives Could Have a Material Adverse Impact on Our Business Prospects.

As a result of any number of risk factors identified in this Annual Report, no assurance can be given
that we will be successful in implementing our financial and strategic objectives, including our clinical development programs for a rapid HIV OTC test and/or a rapid HCV test using the OraQuick® technology platform. In addition, the funds for the foregoing projects have in the past come primarily from our business operations. If our business slows and we have
less money available to fund research and development and clinical programs, we will have to decide at that time which programs to cut, and by how much. Similarly, if adequate financial, personnel, equipment or other resources are not available, we
may be required to delay or scale back our strategic efforts. Our operations will be adversely affected if our total revenue and gross profits do not correspondingly increase or if our technology, product, clinical and market development efforts are
unsuccessful or delayed. Furthermore, our failure to successfully introduce new or enhanced products and develop new markets could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

If We Lose Our Key Personnel or Are Unable to Attract and Retain Qualified Personnel as Necessary, Our Business Could be Harmed.

Our success depends to a large extent upon the contributions of our executive officers, management and sales, marketing,
operations and scientific staff. We may not be able to attract or retain a sufficient number of qualified employees in the future due to the intense competition for qualified personnel among medical products and other life science businesses. We
generally do not enter into employment agreements requiring our employees to work for us for any specified period.

If we are
not able to attract and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish our business objectives, we may experience constraints that will adversely affect our ability to effectively manufacture, sell and market our products, to meet the demands of our
strategic partners in a timely fashion, or to support research, development and clinical programs. Although we believe we will be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, competition for experienced scientists and other personnel
from numerous companies and academic and other research institutions may limit our ability to do so on acceptable terms.

Future Acquisitions or Investments Could Disrupt Our Ongoing Business, Distract Our Management, Increase Our Expenses and Adversely
Affect Our Business.

We may consider strategic acquisitions or investments as a way to expand our business in the future.
These activities, and their impact on our business, are subject to many risk factors, including the following:



| |  |  | Suitable acquisitions or investments may not be found or consummated on terms or schedules that are satisfactory to us or consistent with our
objectives;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We may be unable to successfully integrate an acquired companys personnel, assets, management systems, products and/or technology into our
business;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Acquisitions may require substantial expense and management time and could disrupt our business;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An acquisition and subsequent integration activities may require greater capital and other resources than originally anticipated at the time of
acquisition;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



23



---

| |  |  | An acquisition may result in the incurrence of unexpected expenses, the dilution of our earnings or our existing stockholders percentage
ownership, or potential losses from undiscovered liabilities not covered by an indemnification from the seller(s) of the acquired business;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An acquisition may result in the loss of our or the acquired companys key personnel, customers, distributors or suppliers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The benefits expected to be derived from an acquisition may not materialize and could be affected by numerous factors, such as regulatory developments,
general economic conditions, increased competition and our ability to complete the acquisition and integrate the acquired entitys operations and business; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An acquisition of a foreign business may involve additional risks, including, but not limited to, foreign currency exposure, liability or restrictions
under foreign laws or regulations, and our inability to successfully assimilate differences in foreign business practices or overcome language or cultural barriers.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The occurrence of one or more of the above or other factors may prevent us from achieving all or a significant part of the benefits
expected from an acquisition or investment. This may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to grow our business or otherwise achieve our financial and strategic objectives.

Our Revenues Could be Affected by Third-Party Reimbursement Policies and Potential Cost Constraints.

The end-users of our products include hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers. Use of our products could be adversely
impacted if end-users do not receive adequate reimbursement for the cost of our products from their patients healthcare insurers or payors. Our net sales could also be adversely affected by changes in reimbursement policies of governmental or
private healthcare payors, including in particular the level of reimbursement for our products.

In the United States,
healthcare providers such as hospitals and physicians who purchase diagnostic products generally rely on third-party payors, such as private health insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid, to reimburse all or part of the cost of the product and
procedure. The overall escalating cost of medical products and services has led to, and will continue to lead to, increased pressures on the healthcare industry, both foreign and domestic, to reduce the cost of products and services. Given the
efforts to control and reduce healthcare costs in the United States in recent years, currently available levels of reimbursement may not continue to be available in the future for our existing products or products under development. Third-party
reimbursement and coverage may not be available or adequate in either the United States or foreign markets, current reimbursement amounts may be decreased in the future and future legislation, and regulation or reimbursement policies of third-party
payors, may reduce the demand for our products or our ability to sell our products on a profitable basis.

Changes in
Healthcare Regulation Could Affect Our Revenues, Costs and Financial Condition.

In recent years, there have been numerous
initiatives on the federal and state levels for comprehensive reforms affecting the payment for, the availability of and reimbursement for healthcare services in the United States. These initiatives have ranged from proposals to fundamentally change
federal and state healthcare reimbursement programs, including providing comprehensive healthcare coverage to the public under governmental funded programs, to minor modifications to existing programs. One example is the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, the Federal healthcare reform law enacted in 2010 (Affordable Care Act). Similar reforms may occur internationally.

Legislative and regulatory bodies are likely to continue to pursue healthcare reform initiatives and may continue to reduce the funding of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, including Medicare Advantage,
in an



24



---

effort to reduce overall federal healthcare spending. In addition, the new Affordable Care Act is expected to impose a 2.3% excise tax on certain transactions, including U.S. sales of many
medical devices, which we expect will include domestic sales of our products. This new tax is scheduled to take effect in 2013.

The ultimate content or timing of any future healthcare reform legislation, and its impact on us, is impossible to predict. If
significant reforms are made to the healthcare system in the United States, or in other jurisdictions, those reforms may increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Increases in Demand for Our Products Could Require Us to Expend Considerable Resources or Harm Our Customer Relationships if We are
Unable to Meet That Demand.

If we experience significant or unexpected increases in the demand for our products, we and
our suppliers may not be able to meet that demand without expending additional capital resources. These capital resources could involve the cost of new machinery or even the cost of new manufacturing facilities. This would increase our capital
costs, which could adversely affect our earnings. Our suppliers may be unable or unwilling to expend the necessary capital resources or otherwise expand their capacity. In addition, new manufacturing equipment or facilities may require FDA approval
before they can be used to manufacture our products. To the extent we are unable to obtain or are delayed in obtaining such approvals, our ability to meet the demand for our products could be adversely affected.

If we or our suppliers are unable to develop necessary manufacturing capabilities in a timely manner, our sales could be adversely
affected. If we fail to increase production volumes in a cost effective manner or if we experience lower than anticipated yields or production problems as a result of changes that we or our suppliers make in our manufacturing processes to meet
increased demand, we could experience shipment delays or interruptions and increased manufacturing costs, which could also have a material adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.

Unexpected increases in demand for our products may require us to obtain additional raw materials in order to manufacture products to
meet the demand. Some raw materials require significant ordering lead time and some are currently obtained from a sole supplier or a limited group of suppliers. We have long-term supply agreements with many of these suppliers, but these long-term
agreements involve risks for us, such as our potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of raw materials and components and our reduced control over pricing, quality and timely delivery. It is also possible that one or more of these suppliers
may become unwilling or unable to deliver materials to us. Any shortfall in our supply of raw materials and components, or our inability to quickly and cost-effectively obtain alternative sources for this supply, could have a material adverse effect
on our total revenues or cost of sales and related profits.

Our inability to meet customer demand for our products could also
harm our customer relationships and impair our reputation within the industry. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

Risks Relating to Collaborators

The Use of Sole Supply Sources or
Third Party Suppliers For Critical Components of Our Products Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

We
currently purchase certain critical components of our products from sole supply sources or other third party suppliers. For example, all of the HIV antigen and nitrocellulose required to make our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test and OraQuick® HCV test is currently purchased from sole source suppliers. Our OraSure QuickFlu test is obtained from a sole source supplier. In addition, the conjugates used
in our MICROPLATE oral fluid drugs of abuse assays are obtained from third party suppliers.

If these suppliers are unable or unwilling to supply the required component or product or if
they make changes in the component or product or do not supply materials meeting our specifications, we may need to find another source and perform additional development work. We may also need to obtain FDA or other regulatory approvals for the use
of the alternative component for our products. Completing that development and obtaining such approvals could require significant time and may not occur at all. The availability of critical components and products from sole supply sources or other
third parties could also reduce our control over pricing, quality and timely delivery. These events could either disrupt our ability to manufacture and sell certain of our products, or completely prevent us from doing so or increase our costs. Any
such event could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow and business.

Our Failure to
Maintain Existing Distribution Channels, or Develop New Distribution Channels, May Result in Lower Revenues.

We have
marketed many of our products by collaborating with laboratories, diagnostic companies and distributors. Our sales depend to a substantial degree on our ability to sell products to these customers and on the marketing and distribution abilities of
the companies with which we collaborate.

Relying on distributors or others to market and sell our products could harm our
business for various reasons, including:



| |  |  | Our distributors or other customers may not fulfill their contractual obligations to us or otherwise market and distribute our products in the manner
or at the levels we expect;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Agreements with distributors may terminate prematurely due to disagreements or may result in litigation between the parties;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We may not be able to renew existing distribution agreements on acceptable terms or at all;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our distributors may not devote sufficient resources or priority to the sale of our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our existing distributor relationships or contracts may preclude or limit us from entering into additional future arrangements with other distributors;
and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We may not be able to negotiate future distribution agreements on acceptable terms or at all.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although we will try to maintain and expand our business with distributors and customers and require that they fulfill their contractual
obligations, there can be no assurance that such companies will do so or that new distribution channels will be available on satisfactory terms. As a result, our revenues and business could be adversely affected.

Some of our distributors have also consolidated and such consolidation has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the level
of orders for our products. In addition, some distributors have experienced, and may continue to experience, pressure from their customers to reduce the price of their products and testing services. This may cause customers to stop using our
products or to purchase or manufacture lower cost alternatives.

The Unavailability of an FDA-Approved
HIV-1 EIA Screening Test Distributed by a Third Party Could Adversely Affect Sales of Our OraSure® Oral Fluid
Collection Device.

In testing an oral fluid sample collected with an OraSure® device for HIV-1 in the United States, our customers must use an HIV-1 EIA screening test approved by the FDA for
use with our OraSure® collection device. There is currently only one company, Avioq, Inc., that manufactures and
sells such an FDA-approved screening test. If at some point in the future our customers cannot purchase the Avioq HIV-1 EIA or otherwise obtain an HIV-1 EIA screening test that has been approved by the FDA for use with our OraSure® collection device, sales of our OraSure® device could be negatively affected.

We May Need Strategic Partners to Assist in Developing and Commercializing Some of Our
Diagnostic Products.

Although we intend to pursue some product opportunities independently, opportunities that require a
significant level of investment for development and commercialization or a distribution network beyond our existing sales force may necessitate involving one or more strategic partners. Our strategy for development and commercialization of products
may entail entering into arrangements with distributors or other corporate partners, universities, research laboratories, licensees and others. Relying on collaborative relationships could be risky to our business for a number of reasons, including:



| |  |  | We may be required to transfer material rights to such strategic partners, licensees and others;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our collaborators may not devote sufficient resources or attach a sufficiently high priority to the success of our collaboration;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our collaborators may not obtain regulatory approvals necessary to continue the collaborations in a timely manner;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our collaborators may be acquired by another company and decide to terminate our collaborative arrangement or become insolvent;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our collaborators may develop technologies or components competitive with our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Disagreements with collaborators could result in the termination of the relationship or litigation;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Collaborators may not have sufficient capital resources; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We may not be able to negotiate future collaborative arrangements, or renewals of existing collaborative agreements, on acceptable terms or at all.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While we expect that our current and future collaborative partners have and will have an economic
motivation to succeed in performing their contractual responsibilities, there is no assurance that they will do so and the amount and timing of resources to be devoted to these activities will be controlled by others. Consequently, there can be no
assurance that any revenues or profits will be derived from such arrangements.

We may need to collaborate
with one or more third parties or find new product distribution channels in order to commercialize our OraQuick®
HIV-1/2 test in the United States OTC market should we receive approval from the FDA. In order to successfully commercialize an OraQuick® HIV OTC test, we and/or our distributors may need to invest significantly in advertising and promotion in order to sell this product. If we are unable to collaborate
with a third party having sufficient resources to assist in these efforts or find alternative distribution channels to access the OTC market, we may need to incur significant costs for advertising and promotion, and our ability to maximize our
future revenues and profits from this opportunity could be adversely affected.

Actions of a Third Party Inventory
Management and Logistics Provider Could Adversely Affect Our Ability to Supply Products to our Customers.

In order to
improve efficiencies, beginning in 2011 we will be using a third party logistics provider to store and manage our finished goods inventory and ship finished product to our customers. We have selected a highly reputable provider with extensive
experience in the logistics field and have negotiated a long-term service agreement for these services. However, in the event our provider loses or damages our product, experiences a casualty or catastrophic event at its warehouse or otherwise fails
to meet the requirements of our agreement for the safe storage and timely handling and delivery of our products, we could incur additional costs, experience difficulty in supplying our products to our customers or suffer damage to our reputation in
the industry. These events could, in turn, reduce our revenues and adversely affect our results of operations.

Risks Relating to Intellectual Property

Our Success Depends on Our Ability to Protect Our Proprietary Technology.

The diagnostics industry places considerable importance on obtaining patent, trademark and trade secret protection, as well as other
intellectual property rights, for new technologies, products and processes. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to develop and maintain a strong intellectual property portfolio or obtain licenses to patents and technologies both in the
United States and in other countries. If we cannot continue to develop, obtain and protect intellectual property rights, our revenue and gross profits could be adversely affected. Moreover, our current and future licenses or other rights to patents
and other technologies may not be adequate for the operation of our business.

As appropriate, we intend to file patent
applications and obtain patent protection for our proprietary technology. These patent applications and patents will cover, as applicable, compositions of matter for our products, methods of making those products, methods of using those products and
apparatus relating to the use or manufacture of those products.

We will also rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing
technological advancements to protect our proprietary technology. We have entered, and will continue to enter, into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators. Our employees and third party consultants
also sign agreements requiring that they assign to us interests in inventions and original expressions and any patents or copyrights arising from their work. However, these parties may not honor these agreements.

We cannot guarantee that the process of filing patents, the laws governing trade secrets and proprietary information, or any agreements
we enter into with employees, consultants, advisors or collaborators will provide adequate protection of our intellectual property rights. Moreover, issued patents remain in effect for a fixed period and after expiration will not provide protection
of the inventions they cover. We may also not be able to successfully protect our rights to unpatented trade secrets and know-how. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain
access to our trade secrets and know-how.

Some of our employees, including scientific and management personnel, were
previously employed by competing companies. Although we encourage and expect all of our employees to abide by any confidentiality agreement with a prior employer, competing companies may allege trade secret violations and similar claims against us.

We may collaborate with universities and governmental research organizations which, as a result, may acquire part of the
rights to any inventions or technical information derived from our collaboration with them.

To facilitate development and
commercialization of a proprietary technology base, we may need to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from other parties. Obtaining and maintaining such licenses may require the payment of substantial amounts. In addition, if we
are unable to obtain these types of licenses, our product development and commercialization efforts may be delayed or precluded.

We May Become Involved in Intellectual Property Disputes, Which Could Increase our Costs and Limit or Eliminate Our Ability to Sell Our Products or Use Certain of Our Technologies in the Future.

From time to time, we may seek to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights through litigation. In
addition, there are a large number of patents and patent applications in our product areas, and additional patents may be issued to third parties relating to our product areas. We or our customers may be sued for infringement of patents or
misappropriation of other intellectual property rights with respect to one or more of our products. Litigation in our industry regarding patent and other intellectual property rights is prevalent and is expected to continue.



28



---

Our industry is characterized by a large number of patents, claims of which appear to
overlap in many cases. As a result, there is a significant amount of uncertainty regarding the extent of patent protection and infringement. Companies may have pending patent applications, which are typically confidential for the first eighteen
months following filing, that cover technologies we incorporate in our products. Accordingly, we may be subjected to substantial damages for past infringement or be required to modify our products or stop selling them if it is ultimately determined
that our products infringe a third partys proprietary rights. In addition, governmental agencies could commence investigations or criminal proceedings against our employees or us relating to claims of misuse or misappropriation of another
partys proprietary rights.

Our involvement in litigation or other legal proceedings with respect to patents or other
intellectual property and proprietary technology, either as a plaintiff or defendant, could adversely affect our revenues, market share, results of operations and business because:



| |  |  | As is common with major litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of managerial and financial resources;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Its outcome would be uncertain and a court may find that our patents are invalid or unenforceable in response to claims by another party or that the
third-party patent claims are valid and infringed by our products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An adverse outcome could subject us to the loss of the protection of our patents or to liability in the form of past royalty payments, penalties,
special and punitive damages, or future royalty payments significantly affecting our future earnings;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to obtain a necessary license upon an adverse outcome could prevent us from selling our current products or other products we may develop or
acquire;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The pendency of any litigation may in and of itself cause our distributors and customers to reduce purchases of our products; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A court could award a preliminary and/or permanent injunction, which would prevent us from selling our current or future products.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may indemnify some customers and strategic partners under our agreements with such parties if our
products or activities have actually or allegedly infringed upon, misappropriated or misused another partys proprietary rights. Further, our products may contain technology provided to us by other parties, such as contractors, suppliers or
customers, and we may have little or no ability to determine in advance whether such technology infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. These other parties may also not be required or financially able to indemnify us in the
event that an infringement or misappropriation claim is asserted against us.

We may also become involved in other types of
disputes regarding intellectual property rights, including state, federal or foreign court litigation, and patent interference, patent reexamination, patent reissue, or trademark opposition proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office. Opposition or revocation proceedings could be instituted in a foreign patent office. An adverse decision in any proceeding regarding intellectual property rights could result in the loss or limitation of our rights to a patent, an invention
or trademark.

The Sales Potential for Our OraQuick® Products Could be Affected by Our Ability to Obtain Certain Licenses and by Future Litigation.

Our OraQuick® test platform is a lateral flow assay that tests for specific antibodies or other substances. The term lateral flow generally refers to a test strip
through which a sample flows and which provides a test result on a portion of the strip downstream from where the sample is applied. There are numerous patents in the United States and other countries which claim lateral flow assay methods and
devices. There are also patents that cover



29



---

the type of analyte (i.e., HIV-1, HIV-2, HCV, etc.) which our
OraQuick® test is designed to detect. Some of these patents may broadly cover the aspects of our OraQuick® test and are in force in the United States and other countries. We may not be able to make or sell the OraQuick® test in the United States or other countries where these patents are in force.

We have obtained licenses under several lateral flow patents, and assays directed at specific analytes, which we
believe are sufficient to permit the manufacturing and sale of the OraQuick® device as currently contemplated.
However, licenses under additional patents may be required and it is possible that a third party could seek to enforce one or more patents against us.

If we are unable to successfully defend against or resolve patent infringement litigation or it is determined that a license is required and it is not possible to negotiate or otherwise obtain a license
agreement on reasonable terms under a necessary patent, our ability to manufacture and sell OraQuick® devices
and develop and commercialize new applications using the same technology could be limited and we may incur increased costs or damages. In such case, we may be able to modify the OraQuick® test to avoid the claim of infringement or the need for a license. However, this alternative could delay or limit our ability to sell the OraQuick® test in the United States and other markets, which would adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and
business.

Risks Relating to Products, Marketing and Sales

A Market for Our Products May Not Develop.

Our future success will depend, in part, on the market acceptance, and the timing of such acceptance, of new products
such as our OraQuick® HCV test, our OraSure QuickFlu test, an OraQuick® HIV OTC test, and other new products or technologies that may be developed or acquired. To achieve market
acceptance, we and/or our distributors will likely be required to undertake substantial marketing efforts and spend significant funds to inform potential customers and the public of the perceived benefits of these products. In addition, governmental
funding for the purchase of our products may be needed to help create market acceptance and expand the use of our products.

There may be limited evidence on which to evaluate the market reaction to products that may be developed and our marketing efforts for new products may not be successful. It is also possible that
governmental funding may not be available for new products, such as an OraQuick® HCV test. As such, there can be
no assurance that any products will obtain market acceptance and fill the market need that is perceived to exist.

If
Acceptance and Adoption of Our Oral Fluid Testing Does Not Continue, Our Future Results May Suffer.

We have made
significant progress in gaining acceptance of oral fluid testing for HIV in the public health, hospital, insurance and other markets. We have also made significant progress in gaining acceptance of oral fluid testing for drugs of abuse in the
workplace and criminal justice testing markets. However, the ultimate degree of acceptance in these markets is uncertain, and other markets may resist the adoption of oral fluid testing as a replacement for other testing methods in use today. As a
result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to expand the use of our oral fluid testing products in these or other markets.

Our Customers May Resist Adoption of Rapid Point-of-Care Diagnostic Testing.

We expect sales of our rapid point-of-care diagnostic products, such as our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 and OraQuick® HCV
tests, to become an increasingly important part of our business. Rapid point-of-care tests are beneficial to healthcare providers because, among other things, they can be administered by providers in their own facilities without sending samples to
central laboratories. However, clinical reference laboratories and



30



---

hospital-based laboratories currently provide the majority of diagnostic tests used by physicians and other healthcare providers in the U.S. Our future sales will depend, in part, on our ability
to expand market acceptance of rapid point-of-care testing by physicians and other healthcare providers. We expect that clinical reference and other hospital-based laboratories will continue to compete vigorously against our rapid point-of-care
products. Even if we can demonstrate that our products are more cost effective, save time, or have better performance, physicians and other healthcare providers may resist changing to rapid point-of-care tests and instead may choose to use competing
laboratory tests. Our failure to achieve initial or additional market acceptance of our rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests with customers would have a negative effect on our future sales growth.

We Expect to Face Intense Competition From Other Providers of Rapid Point-of- Care Diagnostic Tests.

Our rapid point-of-care tests compete with similar point-of-care products made by our competitors. This competition is
particularly evident with respect to our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test. There are a number of
competitors making investments in competing technologies and products, and a number of our competitors may have a competitive advantage because of their greater financial, technical, research and other resources. Moreover, some competitors offer
broader product lines, aggressively discount prices for their products and may have greater name recognition than we have. If our competitors products are more effective than ours or take market share from our products through more effective
marketing or competitive pricing, our revenues, margins and operating results could be adversely affected.

Sales of our
OraSure QuickFlu Test May be Affected by Factors Beyond our Control.

In 2011, we expect to begin selling a new rapid
flu test under the tradename OraSure QuickFlu, primarily in the U.S. hospital and public health markets. A number of factors that are beyond our control could affect sales of this product, including:



| |  |  | Variability in the timing of the onset, length and severity of the flu season, which typically occurs from November of one year to May of the following
year;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Competition from other rapid flu tests in the markets we serve;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The failure of our supplier for this product to obtain a CLIA waiver, which we believe is important to expand sales, particularly in the public health
market;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The inability of our supplier to provide quantities of the product sufficient to meet the demands of our customers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in the types or strains of influenza during a particular flu season;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Lower than expected market penetration of the OraSure QuickFlu test; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our inexperience in selling a rapid flu test.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

Our Inability to Carry Out Certain of Our Marketing and Sales Plans May Make it Difficult for Us to Grow or Maintain Our Business.

We have implemented in the past, and we intend to implement in the future, an aggressive sales and marketing plan to expand sales of our
products. Specifically, we will continue to expand the impact of our direct field sales force, use third party distributors and manufacturers sales representatives, and implement other sales and marketing programs. If we are unable to
successfully implement these programs, we may be unable to grow and our business could suffer.

Our Sales Cycles Can be
Lengthy and May Depend on Public Funding, Which Can Cause Variability and Unpredictability in Our Operating Results.

The
sales cycles for certain of our products can be lengthy and unpredictable, which makes it more difficult to accurately forecast revenues in a given period and may cause revenues and operating results to vary from



31



---

period to period. Sales of our products often involve purchasing decisions by large public and private institutions, may require many levels of approval and may be dependent on economic or
political conditions and the availability of grants or funding from governmental or public health agencies which can vary from period to period in both amount and timing. For example, in past years our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test has been purchased through bulk procurement or other funding provided by governmental agencies. There
can be no assurance that purchases or funding from these agencies will continue at the same or higher levels or at all, especially if current negative economic conditions continue or intensify. As a result, we may expend considerable resources on
unsuccessful sales efforts or we may not be able to complete transactions at all or on a schedule and in an amount consistent with our objectives.

We May be Sued for Product Liabilities for Injuries Resulting From the Use of Our Products.

We may be held liable if any of our products, or any product which is made with the use or incorporation of any of our technologies, causes injury of any type or is found otherwise unsuitable during
product testing, manufacturing, marketing, sale or usage. There is no assurance that we would be successful in defending any product liability lawsuits brought against us. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims could
result in:



| |  |  | Decreased demand for our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Lost revenues;
| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | Damage to our image or reputation;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Costs related to litigation;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | Diversion of management time and attention; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Incurrence of damages payable to plaintiffs.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

We are selling cryosurgical products in the consumer or OTC market in certain countries. We may expand the OTC sales
of these products to other countries and eventually distribute other types of products in the domestic and international OTC markets, such as our OraQuick® HIV-1/2 test. We believe the sale of products in the OTC market increases the risk of potential product liability exposure.

The Insurance We Purchase to Cover Our Potential Business Risks May be Inadequate.

Although we believe that our present product liability and other insurance coverage is sufficient to cover our current estimated
exposures, we cannot be sure that we will not incur liabilities in excess of our policy limits. In addition, although we believe that we will be able to continue to obtain adequate coverage in the future, there is no assurance that we will be able
to do so at acceptable costs.

We Could Suffer Monetary Damages, Incur Substantial Costs or be Prevented From Using
Technologies Important to Our Products as a Result of Legal Proceedings.

We have been and in the future may become
involved in various legal proceedings arising out of our businesses. These may include commercial disputes, negligence claims or various other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business, including employment matters. Such lawsuits can
seek damages, sometimes in substantial amounts, for commercial or personal injuries allegedly suffered and can include claims for punitive or other special damages. An adverse ruling or rulings in one or more such lawsuits could, individually or in
the aggregate, result in the termination or modification of a material contract or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our sales, operations or financial performance.

Performance of Our Products May Affect Our Revenues, Stock Price and Reputation.

Our products are generally sold with labeling that contains performance claims approved or cleared by the FDA or other regulators. However, our products may not perform as expected. For example, a defect
in one of



32



---

our diagnostic products or a failure by a customer to follow proper testing procedures, may cause the product to report inaccurate information such as a false positive result or a false negative
result. If our products fail to perform in accordance with the applicable label claims or otherwise in accordance with the expectations or needs of our customers, customers may switch to a competing product or otherwise stop using our products, and
our revenues could be adversely affected. In addition, poor performance by one or more of our products and publicity surrounding such performance could have an adverse effect on our reputation, our continuing ability to sell products and the
prevailing market price of our Common Stock.

Our International Presence May Increase Our Risks and Expose Our Business to
Regulatory, Cultural or Other Restraints.

We intend to increase revenue derived from international sales of our products.
Our international sales accounted for $11.5 million or 15% of total revenues in 2010, $14.8 million or 19% of total revenues in 2009 and $13.7 million or 19% of total revenues in 2008.

A number of factors can slow or prevent international sales, or substantially increase the cost of sales in Europe or other countries,
including those set forth below:



| |  |  | Regulatory requirements (including compliance with applicable customs regulations) and the need for reimbursement approvals;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The inability to obtain or maintain ISO certification for our or our suppliers manufacturing facilities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our inability to obtain or maintain the CE mark on our products or other country-specific registrations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The uncertainty of foreign laws and the inconsistent imposition of legal and regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our inability to identify international distributors and negotiate acceptable terms for distribution agreements;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The loss of one or more distributors and difficulties or delays in obtaining new or transferred product registrations or approvals for use by a
replacement distributor;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cultural and political differences that favor local competitors or make it difficult to effectively market, sell and gain acceptance of our products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inexperience in international markets and difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Exchange rates, currency fluctuations, tariffs and other barriers, extended payment terms and dependence on and difficulties in finding and managing
international distributors or representatives;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The creditworthiness of foreign distributors and customers and difficulty in collecting foreign accounts receivable;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulty of enforcing contractual obligations or recovering damages under foreign legal systems;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Economic conditions, political instability, the absence of available funding sources, terrorism, civil unrest, war and natural disasters in foreign
countries;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our exposure to liability under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and various other laws, rules and/or regulations applicable to us as a result of our
international sales;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Long sales cycles in international markets, especially for sales to foreign governments, quasi-governmental agencies and international public health
agencies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The sale of competing products by foreign competitors at prices at or below such competitors or our costs;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The unavailability of licenses to certain patents in force in a foreign country which cover our products; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Reduced protection for, or enforcement of, our patents and other intellectual property rights in foreign countries.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



33



---

In addition, we have entered into a contract for the manufacture and
supply of our OraQuick® HIV-1/2 test in Thailand, and the Histofreezer® cryosurgical product sold in international markets is currently manufactured by a third party in The Netherlands. We
may enter into agreements to manufacture these or other products in additional foreign countries as well. However, economic, cultural and political conditions and foreign regulatory requirements may slow or prevent the manufacture of our products in
countries other than the United States. Interruption of the supply of our products could reduce revenues or cause us to incur significant additional expenses in finding an alternative source of supply. Foreign currency fluctuations and economic
conditions in foreign countries could also increase the costs of manufacturing our products in foreign countries.

Risks
Relating to the Economy, Our Financial Results, Investments, Credit Facilities and Need for Financing

Continued
Economic Volatility and Disruption Could Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations, Cash Flow and Financial Condition or Those of Our Customers and Suppliers.

Capital and credit markets have recently experienced a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval, characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and
substantial intervention by the U.S. government. These conditions could adversely affect the demand for our products and services and, therefore, reduce purchases by our customers, which would negatively affect our revenues and profitability. In
addition, interest rate fluctuations, financial market volatility or credit market disruptions may limit our access to capital, and may also negatively affect our customers and our suppliers ability to obtain credit to finance their
businesses on acceptable terms. Some of our customers rely on public funding provided by state and local governments, and this funding has been and may continue to be reduced or deferred as a result of current economic conditions. As a result, our
customers needs and ability to purchase our products or services may decrease, and our suppliers may increase their prices, reduce their output or change their terms of sale. If our customers or suppliers operating and financial
performance deteriorates, or if they are unable to make scheduled payments or obtain credit, our customers may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable owed to us, and our suppliers may restrict credit or impose different
payment terms. Any inability of customers to pay us for our products and services, or any demands by suppliers for different payment terms, may adversely affect our earnings and cash flow.

Additionally, both state and federal governments, as a result of budget deficits or reductions, have reduced and may seek to continue to
reduce their expenditures by reducing their purchases of our products or renegotiating their contracts with us. Any reduction in payments by such governments may adversely affect our earnings and cash flow.

The current economic circumstances could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed to conduct or expand our business or conduct
acquisitions and make other discretionary investments. Declining economic conditions may also increase our costs. If the economic conditions do not improve or continue to deteriorate, our results of operations or financial condition could be
adversely affected.

We Have a History of Losses and May Not Be Able to Achieve Sustained Profitability.

We have experienced net losses in 2008, 2009 and 2010. In addition, as of December 31, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of $138.6 million. Even though we have achieved profitability in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

Our ability to achieve and sustain profitability in the future will be dependent upon a number of factors including, without limitation, the following:



| |  |  | Creating market acceptance for and selling increasing volumes of our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test and our
OraQuick® HCV test in the United States and internationally;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



34



---

| |  |  | The level of expenditures we are required to make in order to develop and obtain regulatory approvals for our new products, including our OraQuick® HIV-1/2 test for use in the OTC market and our OraQuick® HCV test for professional use;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to successfully launch new products after receipt of required regulatory approvals or the acquisition of rights to those products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The degree to which certain of our new products may replace sales of our existing products and the financial impact of that change, including the
degree to which our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test will replace our OraSure® collection device for HIV-1 testing or sales of our cryosurgical wart removal products in OTC markets will replace
sales of our Histofreezer® product to physicians offices or other professional markets;

| |  |  | The degree to which our major distributors comply with their contractual obligations, including minimum purchase commitments;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in the level of competition, such as would occur if larger and financially stronger competitors introduced new or lower priced products to
compete with our products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in economic conditions in domestic or international markets, such as economic downturns, reduced demand, inflation and currency fluctuations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to achieve our targets for growth in revenues;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in distributor buying patterns or a buildup of significant quantities in our distributors inventories or distribution channels; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The costs and results of patent infringement and other litigation or claims asserted against us.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We May Experience Fluctuations in Our Financial Results or Fail to Meet Our Financial Projections.

Our operating results can fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, which could cause our growth or financial performance to
fall below the expectations of investors and securities analysts. Our financial projections for future periods are based on a number of assumptions, including estimated demand for our products. However, sales to our distributors and other customers
may fall short of expectations because of less than estimated customer demand or other factors, including continued volatility and disruption in economic conditions, reduced governmental funding and other circumstances described elsewhere in this
Annual Report. Infrequent, unusual or unexpected changes in revenues or costs could also contribute to the variability of our financial results. In addition, our products provide different contributions to our gross margin and our operating results
could also fluctuate and be affected by the mix of products sold and the relative prices and gross margin contribution of those products. Failure to achieve operating results consistent with the expectations of investors and securities analysts
could adversely affect our reputation and the price of our Common Stock.

Our Estimates or Judgments Relating to Critical
Accounting Policies Are Based on Assumptions That Can Change or Prove to be Incorrect.

Our discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate significant estimates used in
preparing our financial statements, including those related to:



| |  |  | Revenue recognition;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | Allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



35



---

| |  |  | Reserve for inventory write-downs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Stock-based compensation;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | Potential impairment of long-lived and intangible assets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Clinical trial accruals; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | Contingencies.
| | - |  | --------------

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in our discussion and analysis of financial condition
and results of operations, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these and other estimates if our
assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price.

Our Credit Facilities Contain Certain Financial Covenants Which, if Not Satisfied, Could Result in the Acceleration of the Amounts Due
Under These Facilities and Limit Our Ability to Borrow in the Future.

Our credit facility with Comerica Bank contains
various financial and other covenants with which we must comply on an ongoing or periodic basis. If we enter into new or additional credit facilities or loan agreements, we would expect those arrangements would contain similar types of covenants.
Although we do not expect to violate these covenants and obligations, if such a violation were to occur, the outstanding debt under our credit facility or other arrangement could become immediately due and payable, our lender could proceed against
any collateral securing such indebtedness and our ability to borrow additional funds in the future may be adversely affected.

We May Require Future Additional Capital.

Our future liquidity and ability to meet our future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the following:



| |  |  | The time, cost and degree of success of conducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The costs and timing of expansion of sales and marketing activities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The timing and success of the commercial launch of new products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The extent to which we gain or expand market acceptance for existing, new or enhanced products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The costs and timing of the expansion of our manufacturing capacity;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The success of our research and product development efforts;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The magnitude of capital expenditures;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in existing and potential relationships with distributors and other business partners;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The costs involved in obtaining and enforcing patents, proprietary rights and necessary licenses;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The costs and liability associated with patent infringement or other types of litigation;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Competing technological and market developments; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The scope and timing of strategic acquisitions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

If additional financing is needed, we may seek to raise funds through the sale of equity or other securities or through bank borrowings. There can be no assurance that financing through the sale of
securities, bank borrowings or otherwise, will be available to us on satisfactory terms, or at all.

Terrorist Attacks or National Disasters May Adversely Affect Our Business.

Terrorist attacks or natural disasters, and subsequent governmental responses to these events, could cause economic
instability. These actions could adversely affect economic conditions both within and outside the United States and reduce demand for our products. These events could disrupt the operations of our customers and suppliers and eliminate, reduce or
delay our customers ability to purchase and use our products and our suppliers ability to provide raw materials and finished products.

Our manufacturing facilities are located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Although we have business interruption insurance, our facilities, including some pieces of manufacturing equipment and our computer
systems, may be difficult to replace and could require substantial replacement lead-time. Various types of disasters, including earthquakes, fires, floods and acts of terrorism, may affect our manufacturing facilities and computer systems. In the
event our existing manufacturing facilities or computer systems are affected by man-made or natural disasters, we may have difficulty operating our business and may be unable to manufacture products for sale or meet customer demands or sales
projections. If our manufacturing operations were curtailed or ceased, it would seriously harm our business.

Risks Relating
to Our Common Stock

Our Stock Price Could Continue to be Volatile.

Our stock price has been volatile, has fluctuated substantially in the past, may be volatile in the future and could experience
substantial declines. The following factors, among others, could have a significant impact on the market for our Common Stock:



| |  |  | Future announcements concerning us, our products, our competitors or our industry;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Clinical results with respect to our products or those of our competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Status of clinical studies and pending submissions for required regulatory approvals;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The gain or loss of significant contracts and availability of funding for the purchase of our products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Delays in the development, regulatory approval or commercialization of new or enhanced products;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Legislative developments;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | Disputes or developments with key customers, distributors or suppliers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Developments in patent or other proprietary rights;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Litigation or threatened litigation;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | Public concern as to the performance or safety of products that we or others have developed or sold;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to achieve, or changes in, financial estimates by securities analysts and comments or opinions about us by securities analysts or major
stockholders;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Governmental regulation;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in the level of competition;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | Loss of or declines in sales to major distributors or customers or changes in the mix of products sold;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The relatively low trading volume for our Common Stock;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Period to period fluctuations in our operating results;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Additions or departures of key personnel;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | General market and economic conditions; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Terrorist attacks, civil unrest, war and national disasters.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have affected the market price of our Common Stock, as well as the stock of many companies in the diagnostics and life sciences industries. Often, price fluctuations are unrelated to operating performance of the specific companies
whose stock is affected.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a companys stock,
securities class action litigation has occurred against the issuing company. If we were subject to this type of litigation in the future, we could incur substantial costs and a diversion of our managements attention and resources, each of
which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and earnings. Any adverse determination in this type of litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

Future Sales of Our Common Stock by Existing Stockholders, Executive Officers or Directors Could Depress the Market Price of Our Common Stock and Make It More Difficult For Us to Sell Stock in the
Future.

Sales of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could negatively
impact the market price of our Common Stock. We are unable to estimate the number of shares of our Common Stock that may actually be resold in the public market since this will depend on the market price for our Common Stock, the individual
circumstances of the sellers and other factors.

We have a number of institutional stockholders that own significant blocks of
our Common Stock. If one or more of these stockholders sell large portions of their holdings in a relatively short time, for liquidity or other reasons, the prevailing market price of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In addition, it is
possible that one or more of our executive officers or non-employee members of our Board of Directors could sell shares of our Common Stock during an open trading window under our Insider Trading Policy. These transactions and the perceived reasons
for these transactions could have a negative effect on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.

Investor
Confidence and Share Value May be Adversely Impacted if We and/or Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Conclude That Our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is Not Effective.

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring us, as a public company, to include a
report in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm must report on the
effectiveness of these internal controls.

We expect that our internal controls will continue to evolve as our business
activities change. Although we seek to diligently and vigorously review our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to ensure compliance with the Section 404 requirements, any control system, regardless of how well designed,
operated and evaluated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. If, during any year, our independent registered public accounting firm is not satisfied with our internal control over financial reporting
or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated, tested or assessed, or if the independent registered public accounting firm interprets the requirements, rules or regulations differently than we do, then it may issue a report
that is qualified. We also could conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. These events could result in an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due to a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of
our financial statements and effectiveness of our internal controls, which ultimately could negatively impact the market price of our Common Stock.

Because We Do Not Intend to Pay Cash Dividends on Our Common Stock, an Investor in Our Common Stock Will Benefit Only if it Appreciates in Value.

We currently intend to retain our current earnings and future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business and do not expect
to pay any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. As a



38



---

result, the success of an investment in our Common Stock will depend entirely upon any future appreciation. There is no guarantee that our Common Stock will appreciate in value or even maintain
the price at which investors purchased their shares.

Certain Provisions in Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and
Under Delaware Law Could Make a Third Party Acquisition of Us Difficult.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. We are also subject to certain provisions of Delaware law that could delay, deter or prevent a change in
control of us. These provisions could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock.

Future Sales of Shares of Our Common Stock or the Issuance of Securities Senior to Our Common Stock Could Adversely Affect the Trading Price of Our Common Stock and Our Ability to Raise Funds in New
Equity Offerings.

Future sales of a substantial number of our shares of Common Stock or equity-related securities in the
public market or privately, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of our Common Stock, and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related
securities. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of Common Stock or the availability of shares of Common Stock for future sale will have on the trading price of our Common Stock.

Not Applicable.



|ITEM 2. | Properties.
|------- | -----------

We own a
48,000 square foot facility which is our primary corporate office and manufacturing facility, a 31,700 square foot facility that houses our sales and marketing and research and development offices, and a 33,500 square foot facility which is used for
manufacturing activities. Each of these facilities is located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and is subject to a mortgage in favor of Comerica Bank. We also rent additional warehouse space on an as-needed basis.

We believe that the facilities described above are adequate for our current requirements.



|ITEM 3. | Legal Proceedings.
|------- | ------------------

Cryosurgical Patent Infringement Litigation

In December 2009, we filed legal proceedings in the Patents Court of the High Court of England and Wales against D.D.D. Limited, DioMed Developments Limited and Sixtem Life Srl, alleging that the import
and/or sale of the Bazuka Sub-Zero OTC cryosurgical product by the defendants in the United Kingdom infringes our European Patent (UK) 0 608 954. We are seeking injunctive relief and damages, among other remedies, in this matter. The defendants have
filed a response denying infringement and alleging that our patent is invalid.

Since the filing of these proceedings, the
parties have engaged in limited discovery and participated in mediation. A trial in this matter is expected to occur in late April 2012.

Performance Graph

The performance graph set forth below shall not be deemed soliciting material or filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to liability under that Section. This graph will not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether such
filing occurs before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

The
following graph compares the cumulative total returns to investors in the Companys Common Stock, the NASDAQ Composite Index and the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index for the period from December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2010. The graph
assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 2005 in the Companys Common Stock and in each of the above-mentioned indices, and that all dividends, if any, were reinvested.

The NASDAQ Composite Index was chosen because it is a broad index of companies whose equity securities are traded on the NASDAQ Stock
Market. The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index was chosen because it includes a number of our competitors. Stockholders are cautioned that the graph shows the returns to investors only as of the dates noted and may not be representative of the returns for
any other past or future period.

|ITEM 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statements below regarding future events or performance are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results could be quite different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could affect results are discussed more fully under the Item 1A, entitled
Risk Factors, and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Although forward-looking statements help to provide complete information about us, readers should keep in mind that forward-looking statements may not be reliable. Readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statements made herein after the date of this Annual Report.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained herein and the notes thereto, along with
the Section entitled Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, set forth below.

Overview

We operate primarily in the in vitro diagnostic business. Our business principally involves the development, manufacture, marketing
and sale of oral fluid diagnostic products and specimen collection devices using our proprietary oral fluid technologies, as well as other diagnostic products including immunoassays and other in vitro diagnostic tests that are used on other
specimen types. We also manufacture and sell other medical devices used for the removal of benign skin lesions by cryosurgery, or freezing. Our diagnostic products include tests which are performed on a rapid basis at the point of care and tests
which are processed in a laboratory. These products are sold in the United States and internationally to various clinical laboratories, hospitals, clinics, community-based organizations and other public health organizations, distributors, government
agencies, physicians offices, and commercial and industrial entities. One of our products is sold in the OTC or consumer retail market in North America, Europe, Central and South America, and Australia.

In vitro diagnostic testing is the process of analyzing oral fluid, blood, urine and other bodily fluids or tissue for the
presence of specific substances or markers for infectious diseases, drugs of abuse or other conditions. We have targeted the use of oral fluid in our products as a differentiating factor and believe that it provides a significant competitive
advantage over blood and urine. Our oral fluid tests have sensitivity and specificity comparable to blood and/or urine tests. When combined with their ease of use, non-invasive nature, and cost effectiveness, our oral fluid tests represent a very
competitive alternative to the more traditional testing methods in the diagnostic space.

We rely heavily
on distributors to purchase and resell many of our products. For example, Genomma Labs has exclusive rights to our wart removal product in the OTC market in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and various other Central and South American countries and
Reckitt Benckiser has similar rights to our wart removal product in the OTC footcare market in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. We have contracted with several distributors to sell our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test to the U.S. physician office market and our
Intercept® and OraSure® product lines are sold by several laboratory distributors. We use distributors to sell our Histofreezer® product into the domestic and international physician office markets. We expect to enter into additional distribution agreements for existing and future products in
the U.S. and internationally. If our distributors are unable or unwilling to meet the minimum purchase commitments set forth in their agreements or otherwise substantially reduce the volume of their purchases, our revenues and results of operations
could be adversely affected.

Because of the regulatory approvals needed for most of our products, we
often are required to rely on sole source providers for critical components and materials and on related products supplied by third parties. This is particularly true for our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test, our OraQuick®
HCV test, our OraSure® oral fluid collection device and our oral fluid Western blot HIV-1 confirmatory product.
If we are unable to obtain necessary components or materials from these sole sources, the time required to develop replacements and obtain the required FDA approvals could disrupt our ability to sell the affected products.

Competitive and Economic Outlook

Competition in the market for HIV testing is intense and is expected to increase. We believe that our principal
competition will come from existing point-of-care rapid blood tests, laboratory-based blood tests, and urine assays or other oral fluid-based tests that may be developed. Our competitors include medical diagnostic companies and specialized
biotechnology firms, as well as pharmaceutical companies with biotechnology divisions. Competing rapid blood tests are often sold at a lower price than we charge for our OraQuick® HIV test. This competition can result in lost sales and degradation of the price (and therefore the profit margin) we can charge for our product.

Our OraQuick® HCV test is now available in Europe and is expected to compete against laboratory-based HCV blood tests. In non-U.S. countries outside of Europe, we expect this
product to compete against other rapid HCV blood tests and laboratory-based tests. We have received FDA approval for use of the OraQuick® HCV test with venous whole blood specimens and fingerstick whole blood, and we expect this test to compete against laboratory-based HCV blood tests in the U.S.

The recent economic downturn, including disruptions in the capital and credit markets, may continue for the foreseeable
future and intensify. These conditions have adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect our financial performance and condition or those of our customers and suppliers. These circumstances could also adversely affect our access to
liquidity needed to conduct or expand our business or conduct acquisitions or make other discretionary investments. Some of our customers rely on public funding provided by state and local governments, and this funding has been and may continue to
be reduced or deferred as a result of current economic conditions. These circumstances may also adversely impact our customers and suppliers, which, in turn, could adversely affect their ability to purchase our products or supply us with necessary
equipment, raw materials or components. In addition, demand for our products may also be adversely affected by the economic downturn.

Current Financial Results

During the year ended December 31, 2010, our total revenues were $75.0 million, which represents a 3% decrease from 2009. Our net
loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $3.5 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $7.8 million, or $0.17 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our net loss in 2009 included a $3.0 million pre-tax charge
for the impairment of patents and product rights and a $1.5 million pre-tax charge for the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit.

Cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $3.9 million, an improvement when compared to the $293,000 used in operating activities for the year ended
December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, we had $75.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $79.7 million at December 31, 2009.

2010 and More Recent Developments

OraQuick® HCV Test

In April 2010, we commercially launched our OraQuick® rapid HCV
antibody test in Europe at a meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver. We have now begun selling the
OraQuick® HCV test internationally, and we are currently pursuing additional registrations in a number of
foreign countries. Our current focus is on finding distributors and building awareness of and acceptance for this product.

In June 2010, our OraQuick® HCV test received FDA approval for use
in venous whole blood specimens, making it the first rapid HCV test approved by the FDA. We launched this product domestically at the annual meeting of the American Association of Clinical Chemistry in July 2010 and we are actively selling this
product to customers in the U.S.

---

During 2010, we continued our efforts to obtain FDA approval of
additional applications for our OraQuick® HCV test. A separate PMA supplement was filed with the FDA for
fingerstick whole blood in July 2010 and was approved in February 2011, making it the second application to be approved by the FDA. We intend to pursue approval of an oral fluid claim for our
OraQuick® HCV test. However, the filing of a PMA supplement for oral fluid has been delayed pending the
completion of additional testing and further discussions with the FDA.

Our protocols for a CLIA waiver have been reviewed and
approved by the FDA and our CLIA studies have been completed. We intend to submit the results of our studies and request a CLIA waiver for our fingerstick whole blood and venous whole blood claims in the near future.

OraQuick® HIV Test

During the second quarter of 2010, the FDA approved a dating extension for our
OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test from 12 to 18 months. We also received approval from our notified body to
extend dating to 18 months in Europe. In November 2010, we received approval from the FDA and in Europe for an additional dating extension from 18 to 24 months. Real time stability studies are still in process for this product and, assuming the
product continues to meet our stability criteria, we expect to seek approval of further shelf life extensions in the future.

Also during the second quarter of 2010, the automated manufacturing equipment we installed in our Bethlehem, Pennsylvania facility was validated and approved by the FDA for use in the manufacture of our
OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV test. During the third quarter of 2010, we commenced manufacturing our OraQuick
ADVANCE® test with this equipment and we have begun to produce larger quantities of this product at a
lower overall cost.

OraQuick® HIV OTC Test

In the
fourth quarter of 2010, we completed our studies to validate the labeling for our OraQuick® HIV OTC test, and in
October 2010 we submitted to the FDA our final label validation data and a request for an investigational device exemption (IDE) for the final phase of clinical studies. We were granted the IDE in November 2010 and have begun the final
phase of clinical testing, which consists of a study in which individuals will conduct unsupervised self-testing using the investigational OTC version of the OraQuick® HIV test with an oral fluid collection.

Substance Abuse
Testing

In January 2010, we signed an agreement with Roche Diagnostics for the worldwide
commercialization of homogeneous, fully-automated oral fluid drugs of abuse assays with our Intercept® oral
specimen collection device. The oral fluid assays are being jointly developed under a development agreement previously executed with Roche. The oral fluid assays are designed to run on various clinical chemistry automated analyzers, which is
intended to allow oral fluid samples to be processed with the same efficiency currently provided by fully-automated, urine-based drug tests. The commercialization agreement is structured to take advantage of each partys respective distribution
strengths, including our established market presence with oral fluid testing and Roches established base of analyzers and broad marketing capabilities.

In the first quarter of 2011, the FDA issued 510(k) clearances for use of high throughput oral fluid assays for PCP,
opiates, cocaine and methamphetamines with our Intercept® device. These are the first such clearances resulting
from our collaboration with Roche Diagnostics. The FDA is in the final stages of review for one other assay for amphetamines and we expect the FDA to issue an additional 510(k) clearance for this product in the near future.

OraSure QuickFlu Test

In the first quarter of 2011, we added a new infectious disease testing product to our product portfolio. The OraSure QuickFlu Rapid Flu A+B is an FDA-cleared in vitro rapid qualitative test
for the detection of influenza type A and type B, including H1N1 viral infections. We expect to sell this product directly into the U.S. hospital and public health markets. An application for CLIA waiver has also been submitted to the FDA for this
product. OraSure QuickFlu is manufactured and supplied to us under our agreement with Princeton BioMeditech Corporation.

Results of
Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to December 31, 2009

Total revenues decreased 3% to $75.0 million in 2010 from $77.0 million in 2009. Decreased sales in the infectious disease testing,
substance abuse testing, and insurance risk assessment markets were partially offset by an increase in sales of our cryosurgical systems products and higher licensing and product development revenues. Revenues derived from products sold to customers
outside the United States were $11.5 million and $14.8 million or 15% and 19% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The majority of our international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, the
impact of foreign currencies was not material to our operating results.

The table below shows the amount of our total
revenues (in thousands) generated in each of our principal markets and by licensing and product development activities.

Infectious Disease Testing Market

As previously disclosed, an increasing number of our public health customers are supplying hospitals with OraQuick
ADVANCE® HIV tests purchased from us. This is a positive development as it indicates increased support of
hospital testing initiatives by public health agencies. However, this overlap is making it more difficult to separately track OraQuick® sales into these markets. Since this trend is likely to continue, we are now reporting public health and hospitals sales of our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test in the U.S. as a combined domestic market. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current presentation.

Sales to the infectious disease testing market decreased 9% to $41.7 million in
2010. OraQuick® sales totaled $40.1 million and $43.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively. Sales of our OraSure® oral fluid collection device totaled $1.6 million and $2.3 million in
2010 and 2009, respectively.

During 2010, sales of the OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV test in the U.S. market decreased 3% or $1.1 million, when compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease in
revenue reflects lower sales volumes resulting from changes in ordering patterns of one of our larger public health customers and reduced public health funding by state and local governments, as well as a lower average selling price.

International sales of our OraQuick® HIV test decreased 57% to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease resulted
from customer losses due to price competition, changes in the use of our test within government testing algorithms, and a decrease or elimination of funding for HIV testing initiatives.

Sales of our OraSure® oral fluid collection device decreased 30% from $2.3 million in the 2009 to $1.6 million in 2010 due to reduced public health funding by state and local governments.
In addition, some customers who have purchased our OraSure® device for laboratory HIV-1 testing in the past are
now electing to purchase our OraQuick ADVANCE® test. We believe this is the result of customers
recognizing the benefits of rapid HIV testing, especially with oral fluid.

Substance Abuse Testing Market

As a result of declining economic conditions and consolidations in the laboratory industry, several of our laboratory
customers are performing substance abuse testing for both the criminal justice and workplace testing markets. As such, it is becoming increasingly difficult to track Intercept® revenues separately in these markets. We expect this trend to continue and, accordingly, we are now reporting Intercept® sales to the U.S. criminal justice and workplace testing markets on a combined basis. Prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Sales to the substance abuse testing market
decreased 3% in 2010 primarily as a result of lower sales of our Intercept® drug testing system and a decrease
in laboratory equipment sales. The table below shows a breakdown of our total Intercept® revenues (in thousands)
generated in each market during 2010 and 2009.



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

Domestic Intercept® revenues decreased 2% and international revenues remained relatively flat for 2010 when compared to the prior year.

We do not expect renewed growth in Intercept® sales until employment conditions in the U.S. recover and overall economic conditions improve. In addition, the microplate oral fluid drug assays, which are sold for
use with the Intercept® collection device, have come under increasing competitive pressure from
home-brew



47



---

assays developed internally by our laboratory customers and compete with urine-based homogeneous assays that are run on fully-automated, random access analyzers. We believe our competitors are
developing oral fluid tests suitable for use on these fully automated homogeneous assay systems and these assays, if and when they are developed and commercialized, could represent a significant competitive threat to our oral fluid microplate
business. As discussed above, pursuant to a development agreement with Roche Diagnostics, homogenous fully-automated oral fluid drugs of abuse assays are being developed for use with our Intercept® collection device. The FDA has issued 510(k) clearances on the high throughput assays for PCP, opiates, cocaine and methamphetamines and an application for 510(k)
clearance of an amphetamines assay for use with the Intercept® device is currently pending before the FDA. The
assays use Roches KIMs (kinetic interaction of micro-particles in solution) technology and will run on various automated analyzers to allow oral fluid samples to be processed with the same efficiency currently achieved with urine-based drug
tests. We have also entered into a commercialization agreement with Roche pursuant to which a drug testing system comprised of our Intercept® device and the newly developed homogenous assays will be marketed and sold on a worldwide basis.

Cryosurgical Systems Market

Sales of our products in the cryosurgical
systems market (which includes both the physicians office and OTC markets) increased 10% to $12.0 million in 2010 from $10.9 million in 2009.

The table below shows a breakdown of our total cryosurgical revenues (in thousands) generated in each market during 2010 and 2009.

Sales of our Histofreezer® product to physicians offices in the United States increased 53% to $6.0 million in 2010, compared to $3.9 million in 2009, largely due to the elimination of
the diversion of less expensive international Histofreezer® product into the domestic market. In addition, in
early 2010, we signed agreements with two manufacturers sales representative organizations to support sales of our Histofreezer® product in the U.S. Under these arrangements, over 40 additional sales representatives have been working with our physicians office distributors throughout the
United States, resulting in additional domestic Histofreezer® sales growth during this year.

Sales of Histofreezer® in the international market decreased 28% in 2010, compared to 2009. This decline was largely due to a discontinuance of sales to certain foreign distributors that we
believe were diverting product to the U.S. market. The selling prices for our Histofreezer® product are lower in
some foreign countries due to differences in the healthcare systems in those countries. During 2008 and early 2009, some distributors in these countries purchased English-labeled Histofreezer® product and resold it into the domestic distribution network to distributors who employ alternate sourcing programs.

We also experienced a decline in Histofreezer® sales in the European market as a result of the negative impact of changing European health regulations. In the European professional marketplace, healthcare
reimbursement has been or may be reduced or eliminated for certain treatment types, including treatments for common warts. The reduction in or elimination of reimbursement for wart treatments has affected international sales of our Histofreezer® product and will continue to do so.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, our OTC cryosurgical sales decreased 9% primarily due to decreased sales to our Latin American OTC distributor, Genomma. During 2009, Genomma increased its



48



---

purchases to support the launch of our OTC cryosurgical wart removal product in Brazil.We did not have this similar pipeline fill in 2010, resulting in a decrease in sales to Genomma of
approximately $314,000.

In July 2010, SSL International (SSL), our European OTC distributor, was acquired by
Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC. Our distribution contract with Reckitt was subject to an annual renewal at the end of 2010 and was extended through March 31, 2011. We expect that an additional short-term renewal will occur to permit the parties to
negotiate a new distribution contract. Sales to Reckitt for distribution in the European OTC market were $2.6 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2009, we launched our own wart removal product under the Freeze n Clear Skin ClinicTMtradename into the U.S. OTC cryosurgical marketplace. This venture resulted in limited revenues. As a result of the
products limited success, competing priorities and limited corporate funding, management decided to end its participation in the U.S. OTC cryosurgical marketplace at the end of 2010.

Insurance Risk Assessment Market

Sales to the insurance risk assessment
market decreased 5% from $6.2 million in 2009 to $5.8 million in 2010, as some insurance companies abandoned pre-screening for lower face value insurance policies. We expect this trend to continue in 2011.

Licensing and Product Development

Licensing and product development revenues increased to $3.8 million during 2010 from $1.9 million during 2009. This increase was primarily due to $2.0 million in milestone payments received as a result
of our achievement of certain regulatory and commercial objectives pursuant to a collaboration agreement with Merck for the development and promotion of our OraQuick® rapid HCV test in international markets. The remaining licensing revenues for both 2010 and 2009 represent royalties received on domestic outsales of Mercks OTC
cryosurgical wart removal product, pursuant to our license and settlement agreement executed in January 2008.

Gross Margin

The Companys gross margin was 63% in 2010, compared to 61% in 2009. The increase in gross margin in 2010 was primarily the result of
the higher licensing and product development revenues.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased 1% from $13.4 million in 2009 to $13.2 million in 2010, as a result of
lower validation and clinical trial costs related to the development of our OraQuick® HCV test. These decreases
were partially offset by higher laboratory supplies expense related to the development of new infectious disease products and higher clinical trial costs related to the development of our OraQuick® HIV OTC test. We expect our research and development costs will increase in 2011 as we continue clinical trials for our HIV OTC test and OraQuick® HCV product and develop other new products.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 2% to $20.7 million in 2010 from $21.2 million in 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of
lower relocation expenses. We expect 2011 sales and marketing expenses to decrease from 2010 levels as a result of lower staffing costs.

General and administrative expenses remained relatively unchanged at $16.8 million in 2010 and 2009. Lower legal expenses in 2010 were offset by an increase in consulting costs. We expect 2011 general and
administrative expenses to decrease slightly from 2010 levels as a result of expected reductions in staffing and consulting costs.

In November 2009, we settled the patent infringement lawsuit filed by
Inverness Medical and Church & Dwight. Pursuant to the settlement we paid Inverness $3.0 million. We recorded $1.5 million of the $3.0 million payment as litigation settlement expense in our Statement of Operations for 2009. The remaining
$1.5 million was recorded as prepaid royalties and is being expensed in cost of goods sold in relation to estimated OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV revenues to be generated through December 31, 2012.

During the second quarter of 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million related to license payments for certain HCV patents, which we previously capitalized. Managements intent in
capitalizing these payments was to utilize this license in certain developing countries for the marketing and sale of an existing rapid HCV test supplied by a third party manufacturer. However, we were unable to penetrate this international
marketplace with this third-partys rapid HCV test. Furthermore, given the impact of the current global recession and the deteriorating status of certain third-world economies, we no longer believed that we would be successful in selling this
third-partys rapid HCV test in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge for the remaining unamortized book value of the patent and product rights in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Other Income/Expense

Interest expense decreased to $316,000 in 2010 from $361,000 in 2009. Interest income also decreased to $152,000 in 2010 from $738,000 in
2009, primarily as a result of lower yields earned on our investment portfolio, lower investment balances, and an overall more conservative, shorter-term investment approach.

Income Taxes

In 2008, we established a full valuation allowance against
our total net deferred tax asset. Management has continued to evaluate whether the full valuation is still appropriate. At December 31, 2010, we concluded that the full valuation allowance remained appropriate as the facts and circumstances
since the establishment of the allowance had not changed. As a result, no income tax benefit was recorded in 2010.

In
November 2009, The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009was enacted. This new law extended the carryback period for a net operating loss (NOL) from two years up to a maximum of five years. The carryback of
the NOL can be applied to both regular tax NOLs and alternative minimum tax (AMT) NOLs. The new law also eliminates the 90% limitation on the use of any AMT NOLs. As a result of the elimination of the 90% limitations, we elected to
carryback our 2008 AMT NOL to our 2007, 2006, and 2005 tax years and apply for a refund of the AMT taxes paid for those years. As such, in the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded a $632,000 federal tax benefit associated with this AMT NOL carryback.
Offsetting this benefit was a nominal amount of state income taxes.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to December 31, 2008

Total revenues increased 8% to $77.0 million in 2009 from $71.1 million in 2008. Revenues derived from products sold to
customers outside the United States were $14.8 million and $13.7 million or 19% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The majority of our international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. As such,
the impact of foreign currencies was not material to our operating results.

Infectious Disease Testing Market

Sales to the infectious disease testing market increased 21% to $46.1 million in 2009, primarily as a result of our
switch to a direct sales model for the U.S. hospital market which allowed us to realize a higher average selling price for these customers. Higher volumes in the U.S. public health market and higher international sales also contributed to the
increase. OraQuick® and OraSure® sales during 2009 totaled $43.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as compared to $35.3 million and $2.8 million in 2008, respectively.

The table below shows a breakdown of our total OraQuick® revenues (in thousands) during 2009 and 2008.

During 2009, OraQuick® sales to the U.S. public health market increased by 11% as compared to 2008. This increase was caused by higher purchase volumes due in part to the fact that a number
of our hospital customers were procuring OraQuick® product through public health channels in lieu of purchasing
the test directly from us. We believed this pattern was the result of increased public health support of testing initiatives by hospitals across the country. As a result, sales to the hospital market were being redirected to the U.S. public health
market, thereby increasing revenues within that customer category.

Sales into the hospital market increased 66% to $11.0
million during 2009, compared to $6.6 million in 2008. In January 2009, we switched to a direct sales model for U.S. hospitals as a result of the termination of our distribution agreement with Abbott Laboratories at the end of 2008. The increase in
revenues in the hospital market was primarily due to a higher average selling price realized under our direct sales model.

International sales of our OraQuick® test increased to $4.5 million
in 2009 from $3.2 million in 2008. This 39% increase reflected higher sales into Latin America, Europe and Asia. Sales into Africa remained flat at $2.3 million in both 2009 and 2008.

During 2009, sales of OraSure® declined $506,000 from $2.8 million in 2008 to $2.3 million in 2009. Some customers who had purchased our OraSure® device for laboratory HIV-1 testing in the past are electing to purchase our OraQuick ADVANCE® test.

Substance Abuse Testing Market

Sales to the substance abuse testing market decreased 14% in 2009 primarily as a result of lower sales of our
Intercept® collection devices and oral fluid assays. The table below shows a breakdown of our total Intercept® revenues (in thousands) generated in each market during 2009 and 2008.

Our workplace testing business decreased 18% from $4.8 million in 2008 to $3.9 million in 2009.
Pre-employment drug screening represented over 50% of our workplace testing business and the downturn in the domestic economy and high unemployment levels had a significant negative impact on this part of our business, as well as on our direct sales
to small and mid-size companies.

Sales to the criminal justice market decreased 3% from $2.7 million in
2008 to $2.6 million in 2009, primarily as a result of the availability of competing lower priced drug testing products. International sales of Intercept® devices and assays decreased 8% to $2.0 million in 2009 from $2.2 million in 2008, also as a result of competition from lower priced drug testing products outside of
the U.S.

Cryosurgical Systems Market

Sales of our products in the cryosurgical systems market (which includes both the physicians office and OTC markets) increased 2% to $10.9 million in 2009 from $10.7 million in 2008. This increase
was primarily caused by higher sales to our Latin American OTC distributor, Genomma, partially offset by lower sales to our European OTC distributor, SSL, and decreased Histofreezer® sales in international professional markets.

The table below shows a breakdown of our total cryosurgery revenues (in thousands) generated in each market during 2009 and 2008.

Sales to Genomma for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $2.3 million, compared to
$401,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008. During 2008, Genomma reduced its purchases in response to an increase in product returns from retailers in Mexico who overstocked during the winter months of 2007. Throughout 2008 and early in
2009, Genomma worked through its excess inventory levels and resumed purchasing product during the second quarter of 2009. In addition, Genomma launched our cryosurgical wart removal product in Brazil and we completed our first shipment to Brazil in
September 2009.

The increased sales to Latin America were partially offset by a decrease in sales to SSL. Sales to SSL were
$2.6 million and $3.8 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in revenues from SSL resulted from a



52



---

reduction in the transfer price paid by SSL and a decrease in units purchased as a result of increased competition in the OTC wart removal market in Europe.

During the first quarter of 2009, we reentered the U.S. OTC cryosurgery marketplace through the launch of our own cryosurgical wart
removal product under our new national brand, Freeze n Clear Skin Clinic. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded $1.2 million in revenues from Freeze n Clear Skin Clinic. However, these revenues were offset
by $1.0 million in promotional rebates, advertising, slotting and return allowances provided to the retail trade, which we netted against the revenues in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Sales of our Histofreezer® product to physicians offices in the United States were $3.9 million in both 2009 and 2008. Sales of Histofreezer® in the professional international market decreased 24% to $1.9 million in 2009, as compared to $2.5 million in 2008.
The selling prices for our Histofreezer® product are lower in some foreign countries due to differences in the
healthcare systems in those countries. During 2008 and early 2009, some distributors in these countries purchased English-labeled Histofreezer® product and resold it into the domestic distribution network to distributors who employ alternate sourcing programs. Although we tried to aggressively address this
diversion issue, we believe it negatively impacted sales in the domestic physicians office market during 2009. The decline in Histofreezer® revenues in the professional international market in 2009 was largely due to a reduction of sales to distributors that we believe were diverting product to the U.S.
market.

Insurance Risk Assessment Market

Sales to the insurance risk assessment market increased 1% from $6.1 million in 2008 to $6.2 million in 2009, due to variations in laboratory ordering patterns and an increase in purchases of lower face
value insurance policies for which insurers use our oral fluid screening device.

Licensing and Product Development

Licensing and product development revenues decreased to $1.9 million in 2009, from $2.3 million in 2008. In January
2008, we entered into a license and settlement agreement with Merck & Co. Inc. (Merck, successor to Schering-Plough) in which Merck agreed to pay us royalties on U.S. sales of their Freeze AwayTMOTC cryosurgical wart removal product. Licensing revenues represent
these royalties from Merck in 2009 and 2008.

Gross Margin

The Companys gross margin was 61% in 2009, compared to 58% in 2008. Gross margin was favorably impacted during
2009 primarily by our switch in January 2009 to a direct sales model for our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2
test in the U.S. hospital market. Also contributing to the increase was an improvement in manufacturing efficiency in 2009.

Operating
Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased 34% to $13.4 million in 2009, from $20.3 million
in 2008, primarily as a result of decreased clinical trial spending for our OraQuick® HIV OTC test and OraQuick® HCV test. The majority of the initial product development and clinical costs associated with the OraQuick® HCV device and related PMA submission was incurred during 2008. A decrease in staffing costs resulting from
organizational changes made during the fourth quarter of 2008 also contributed to the current period decrease. In addition, expenses in 2008 included a $1.0 million patent license milestone payment required as a result of our filing of a PMA
submission with the FDA for our OraQuick® HCV device, while 2009 expenses did not include any such payment.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 1% to $21.2 million in 2009 from $20.9 million in 2008. Staffing costs increased in
2009 as a result of hiring a new sales force in support of our direct sales model for the U.S.



53



---

hospital market, as well as hiring, compensation, and relocation costs associated with new senior-level sales and marketing personnel. Market research and consulting expenses related to our
cryosurgical products also increased during 2009. These increases were offset by a decrease in reimbursement of distributor advertising expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased 3% to $16.9 million in 2009 from $16.3 million in 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to higher staffing costs as well as legal expenses associated
with the patent infringement lawsuit related to our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV test filed against us by
Inverness Medical and Church & Dwight.

In November 2009, we settled the patent infringement
lawsuit filed by Inverness and Church & Dwight. Pursuant to the settlement we paid Inverness $3.0 million. We recorded $1.5 million of the $3.0 million payment as litigation settlement expense in our Statement of Operations for 2009. The
remaining $1.5 million was recorded as prepaid royalties and will be expensed in cost of goods sold in relation to
OraQuick® ADVANCE® HIV revenues generated through December 31, 2012.

In the first quarter of 2008, we received a payment of $4.9 million as a result of the settlement of patent infringement litigation we had previously filed against Merck.

During the second quarter of 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million related to license payments for certain HCV patents,
which we previously capitalized. Managements intent in capitalizing these payments was to utilize this license in certain developing countries for the marketing and sale of an existing rapid HCV test supplied by a third party manufacturer.
However, we were unable to penetrate this international marketplace with this third-partys rapid HCV test. Furthermore, given the impact of the global recession and the deteriorating status of certain third-world economies, we no longer
believed that we would be successful in selling a third-partys rapid HCV test in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge for the remaining unamortized book value of the patent and product rights in the
second quarter of 2009.

Other Income/Expense

Interest expense increased to $361,000 in 2009 from $346,000 in 2008. Interest income decreased to $738,000 in 2009 from $3.1 million in 2008 primarily as a result of lower yields earned on our investment
portfolio, lower investment balances, and an overall conservative, shorter-term investment approach.

Income Taxes

In November 2009, The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009was enacted. This new law extended the carryback
period for NOLs from two years up to a maximum of five years. The carryback of the NOL can be applied to both regular tax NOLs and AMT NOLs. The new law also eliminates the 90% limitation on the use of any AMT NOLs. As a result of the elimination of
the 90% limitations, we elected to carryback our 2008 AMT NOL to our 2007, 2006, and 2005 tax years and apply for a refund of the AMT taxes paid for those years. As such, in the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded a $632,000 federal tax benefit
associated with this AMT NOL carryback. Offsetting this benefit was a nominal amount of state income taxes.

During 2008, we
evaluated whether or not we would realize the benefits associated with our total net deferred tax asset in the future. Given the uncertainty surrounding the magnitude and length of the current economic recession, our loss in 2008, and our projection
of a loss in 2009, which would result in a net cumulative three-year loss, we determined that it was more likely than not that we would not realize the benefits associated with our net deferred tax assets in the immediate future. Accordingly, in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance, we recorded an income tax charge of $26.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 in order to establish a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset.

Our cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments decreased $4.0 million from $79.7 million as of December 31, 2009 to $75.7 million as of December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of $3.9 million of cash flows from operations offset by $4.5 million
in payments for patents and product rights, $2.1 million in property and equipment purchases, $709,000 associated with the retirement of common stock to pay minimum tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares, and $510,000 for
debt repayments. Our working capital declined primarily as a result of the classification of the remaining unpaid principal balance of our debt obligation to a current liability as a result of its June 2011 maturity date.

During 2010, operating activities provided cash of $3.9 million. Cash provided by operating activities resulted
primarily from the offset of our $3.5 million net loss by non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $3.2 million and depreciation and amortization of $3.0 million. Also contributing to the cash provided by operating activities was a $1.2 million
decrease in accounts receivable resulting from the decrease in sales and the timely collection of amounts due, a $1.4 million decrease in inventories largely as a result of managing our OraQuick® inventory to lower levels, and a $1.4 million decrease in prepaid expenses largely due to the collection of a federal tax refund of $597,000 and the routine
amortization of prepaid royalties. Offsetting these cash contributions was a decrease in accounts payable of $472,000 and a $2.5 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities associated with payment of our 2009 royalty obligations,
management incentive bonuses and a decrease in deferred revenues.

Net cash used in investing activities during 2010 was $3.8
million. Proceeds of $2.8 million from maturities and redemptions of short-term investments were offset by $2.1 million in purchases of property and equipment and $4.5 million in payments for patents and licenses related to the achievement of
milestones pursuant to our HCV patent license agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we expect to invest
approximately $2.8 million in capital expenditures, primarily to purchase additional equipment, upgrade certain older equipment and make improvements to our facilities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.2 million in 2010, primarily as a result of $510,000 in loan principal repayments and $709,000 used for the withholding and retirement of common stock related
to the vesting of restricted shares.

As of December 31, 2010, we had in place a $10,000,000 credit facility with
Comerica Bank (Comerica). Pursuant to the terms of the facility, principal, and interest fixed at 4.15% per annum, are payable monthly through June 2011, at which time the remaining unpaid principal balance is payable and the
facility will expire. Accordingly, beginning on June 30, 2010, our remaining unpaid principal balance was classified as a current liability as it will be payable within the ensuing twelve months. As of December 31, 2010, we had no
available borrowings under this credit facility. We are evaluating possible options to address the upcoming expiration of the facility, including refinancing with a new credit facility or other borrowings.

All borrowings from Comerica are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of our assets, including present and future
accounts receivable, chattel paper, contracts and contract rights, equipment and accessories, general intangibles, investments, instruments, inventories, and a mortgage on our three facilities in

Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The Comerica agreement contains certain covenants that set forth minimum requirements for our quick ratio, liquidity, and tangible net worth. We were in full compliance
with all covenants as of December 31, 2010. The agreement also restricts our ability to pay dividends, to make certain investments, to incur additional indebtedness, to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, and to merge
or consolidate operations with an unaffiliated entity, without the consent of Comerica.

As of December 31, 2010, we had
net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $50.4 million for federal income tax purposes. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset generated by these NOLs.

The combination of our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments is expected to be more than sufficient to
fund our operating and capital needs through at least the next twelve months. Our cash requirements, however, may vary materially from those now planned due to many factors, including, but not limited to, the scope and timing of strategic
acquisitions, the cost and timing of the expansion of our manufacturing capacity, the progress of our research and development programs, the scope and results of clinical testing, the cost of any future litigation, the magnitude of capital
expenditures, changes in existing and potential relationships with business partners, the time and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals, the costs involved in obtaining and enforcing patents, proprietary rights and any necessary licenses, the cost
and timing of expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of market launch of new products, market acceptance of new products, competing technological and market developments, the impact of the ongoing economic downturn and other
factors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our judgments and
estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, revenue recognition, clinical trial accruals, contingencies and litigation. We base our judgments and estimates on historical experience and
on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are
described in Note 2 of the Notes to the financial statements included in Item 15 of this Annual Report. We consider the following accounting estimates, which have been discussed with our Audit Committee, to be most critical in understanding the
more complex judgments that are involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition.    We recognize product revenues when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement
exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title has passed and collection is reasonably assured. Product revenues are recorded net of allowances for any discounts or rebates. We do not grant price protection or product return rights to our
customers except for warranty returns and return rights granted to retail customers for our domestic cryosurgical wart removal product.

Historically, returns arising from warranty issues have been infrequent and immaterial. Accordingly, we expense warranty returns as incurred. For our cryosurgical product sold in the domestic retail
market, a provision for estimated product returns is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period in which the revenue is recognized. In addition, revenue from domestic retail sales is also recorded net of promotional, advertising, and
slotting allowances granted to the retail trade.

Royalty income from the grant of license rights is recognized during the
period in which the revenue is earned and the amount is determinable from the licensee.

Product development revenues are
recognized over the period in which the related product development efforts are performed. Amounts received prior to the performance of product development efforts are recorded as deferred revenues. Grant revenue is recognized as the related work is
performed and costs are incurred. We record shipping and handling charges billed to our customers as product revenue and the related expense as cost of products sold. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities, such as sales or value-added taxes,
are excluded from product revenues.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable.    Accounts
receivable are reduced by an estimated allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. On an ongoing basis, we perform credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon the customers payment history and
creditworthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. We also continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers.

Based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that are identified, we use our judgment to establish and evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for estimated credit losses,
which was $106,000 as of December 31, 2010. While credit losses have been within our expectations and the allowance provided, these losses can vary from period to period. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will experience



57



---

credit losses at the same rates as we have in the past. The current economic downturn, including disruptions in the capital and credit markets, may continue indefinitely and intensify, and could
adversely affect the operations, cash flows and financial condition of our customers. These circumstances may adversely impact the liquidity or financial position of our customers and could have a material impact on the collectability of our
accounts receivable and future operating results.

Inventories.    Our inventories are valued at
the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include the cost of raw materials, labor and overhead. The majority of our inventories are subject to expiration dating. We continually evaluate quantities on hand and the
carrying value of our inventories to determine the need for reserves for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the estimated forecast of product sales. When, in the opinion of management, factors indicate that impairment has occurred,
either a reserve is established against the inventories carrying value or the inventories are completely written off, as in the case of lapsing expiration dates. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, we wrote-off inventory which had a cost of $919,000,
$1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as a result of quality, scrap and product expiration issues. Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand
could have a significant impact on the carrying value of our inventories and reported operating results.

Stock-based
Compensation.    We recognize the fair value of equity-based awards as compensation expense in our statement of operations. The fair value of our stock option awards was estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model.
This valuation models computations incorporate highly subjective assumptions, such as the expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. The fair value of the options, after considering the effect of expected
forfeitures, is then amortized, generally on a straight-line basis, over the related vesting period of the option. The fair value of our restricted shares is based on the market value of the shares at the date of grant and is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the related vesting period of the award.

Long-lived and Intangible
Assets.    Our long-lived assets are comprised of property and equipment and our intangible assets primarily consist of patents and product rights. Together, these assets had a net book value of $24.4 million, or 20% of our
total assets, as of December 31, 2010. Property and equipment and patents and product rights are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which we determine based upon our estimate of the period of
time over which each asset will generate revenues. An impairment of long-lived or intangible assets could occur whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value of our assets may not be recoverable. Events which could
trigger asset impairment include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of an asset or in our overall business strategy, significant negative industry
or economic trends, and shortening of product life-cycles or changes in technology. If we believe impairment of an asset has occurred, we measure the amount of such impairment by comparing the net book value of the affected assets to the fair value
of these assets, which is generally determined based upon the present value of the expected cash flows associated with the use of these assets. If the net book value exceeds the fair value of the impaired assets, we would incur an impairment expense
equal to this difference.

During the second quarter of 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million related to
license payments for certain HCV patents, which were previously capitalized. Managements intent in capitalizing these payments was to utilize this license in certain developing countries for the marketing and sale of an existing rapid HCV test
supplied by a third party manufacturer. However, we were unable to penetrate this international marketplace with this third-partys rapid HCV test. Furthermore, given the impact of the recent global recession and the deteriorating status of
certain third-world economies at that time, we no longer believed that we would be successful in selling a third-partys rapid HCV test in the foreseeable future. We currently believe the future cash flows to be received from all remaining
long-lived and intangible assets as of December 31, 2010 will exceed their book value. We did not recognize any impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2008. Any unanticipated significant impairment in the future,
however, could have a material adverse impact to our balance sheet and future operating results.

Deferred Tax Assets.    At December 31, 2010, we had federal
NOL carryforwards of $50.4 million. The deferred tax assets, before a full valuation allowance, associated with these NOLs and other temporary differences was $28.8 million at December 31, 2010. In assessing the realizability of net deferred
tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
period in which those temporary differences become deductible or the NOLs and credit carryforwards can be utilized. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making
this assessment.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we evaluated our ability to realize our net deferred tax asset, in order
to determine if a valuation allowance should be recorded against it pursuant to FASB accounting guidance. A cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence to be considered when evaluating the need for a valuation
allowance and this evidence is difficult to overcome. Given the uncertainty surrounding the magnitude and length of the economic recession at that time, our loss in 2008, and our projection of a loss in 2009, which would result in a net cumulative
three-year loss, we determined that it was more likely than not that we would not realize the benefits associated with our net deferred tax asset in the immediate future. Accordingly, we recorded an income tax charge of $26.0 million in the fourth
quarter of 2008 to establish a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset. During 2010 and 2009, we continued to reevaluate our valuation allowance position and believe that it is more likely than not that our deferred income tax
asset will not be realized in the immediate future. As such, we maintain a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Our ability to use our NOL carryforwards to offset future federal income tax obligations could be limited by changes in the ownership of our stock. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 382
contains provisions that limit the amount of federal NOL carryforwards that can be used in any given year in the event of specified occurrences, including significant ownership changes. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed an
analysis, with the assistance of independent tax specialists, to determine if any IRC Section 382 ownership changes had occurred that would limit the amount of NOLs that could be utilized to offset future taxable income. As a result of this
analysis, the Company concluded that prior period ownership changes may impose a limitation on the amount of NOLs that can be utilized in a given year. The Company does not believe, however, that this limitation will impair our future ability to
utilize NOLs to offset our future taxable income. The Company continues to review ownership changes on an annual basis and we have not had an ownership change that would impact the NOLs.

Clinical Trial Accruals.    Some of our research and development is conducted by third parties, including
contract research and development service providers. All such costs are charged to research and development expense systematically as incurred, which may be measured by patient enrollment or the passage of time. At the end of each quarter, we
compare the payments made to each service provider to the estimated progress toward completion of the research or development objectives. Such estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Depending on the timing of
payments to the service providers and the estimated service provided, we record net prepaid or accrued expense relating to these costs.

Contingencies. In the ordinary course of business, we have entered into various contractual relationships with strategic corporate partners, customers, distributors, research laboratories and
universities, licensors, licensees, suppliers, vendors and other parties. As such, we could be subject to litigation, claims or assessments arising from any or all of these relationships. We record an estimated loss contingency when information
available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Accounting for contingencies arising from contractual or legal proceedings requires that we use our best judgment when estimating an accrual related to such contingencies. As additional information becomes known, our accrual for a loss contingency
could fluctuate, thereby creating variability in our results of operations from period to period. Likewise, an actual loss arising from a loss contingency which significantly



59



---

exceeds the amount accrued for in our financial statements could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such actual loss becomes known.



|ITEM 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
|-------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

We do not hold any amounts of derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and, accordingly, we have no material derivative risk to report under this Item.

The majority of our assets is comprised of cash and cash equivalents and as a result we have little exposure to market risks associated
with available-for-sale securities.

In January 2008, we elected to fix the interest rate on our long-term debt at 4.15% until
the debts maturity in June 2011. As a result, we have no exposure to interest rate changes.

As of December 31,
2010, we did not have any foreign currency exchange contracts or purchase currency options to hedge local currency cash flows. We have operations in Europe and Africa, which are subject to foreign currency fluctuations. As currency rates change,
translation of revenues and expenses for these operations from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars affects year-to-year comparability of operating results. Sales denominated in a foreign currency were minimal compared to our total revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2010. We do not expect the risk of foreign currency fluctuations to be material to us in the near future.

|-------- | ------------------------

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2010. Based on that evaluation, the Companys management, including such officers, concluded that as of
December 31, 2010 the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) Managements
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as of December 31, 2010.



60



---

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2010 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included below.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There was no
change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2010 that was identified in connection with the evaluation referred to in paragraph (b) above that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

OraSure Technologies, Inc.:

We
have audited OraSure Technologies, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). OraSure Technologies, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that,
in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, OraSure Technologies, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
balance sheets of OraSure Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2010, and our report dated March 10, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

OraSure Technologies, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of OraSure
Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OraSure Technologies, Inc.
as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), OraSure Technologies,
Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO), and our report dated March 10, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

ORASURE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

|1. | THE COMPANY:
|-- | ------------

We develop,
manufacture, market and sell oral fluid diagnostic products and specimen collection devices using our proprietary oral fluid technologies, as well as other diagnostic products, including immunoassays and other in vitro diagnostic tests that
are used on other specimen types. We also manufacture and sell other medical devices used for the removal of benign skin lesions by cryosurgery, or freezing. Our diagnostic products include tests which are performed on a rapid basis at the point of
care and tests which are processed in a laboratory. These products are sold in the United States and internationally to various clinical laboratories, hospitals, clinics, community-based organizations and other public health organizations,
distributors, government agencies, physicians offices, and commercial and industrial entities. One of our products is sold in the over-the-counter or consumer retail markets in North America, Europe, Central and South America and Australia.

The recent economic downturn, including disruptions in the capital and credit markets, may continue indefinitely and
intensify, and could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition or those of our customers and suppliers. These circumstances could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed to conduct or expand our business
or conduct acquisitions or make other discretionary investments. They may also adversely impact the capital needs of our customers and suppliers, which, in turn, could adversely affect their ability to purchase our products or supply us with
necessary equipment, raw materials or components. This could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The recent weak business climate could cause longer sales cycles and slower growth, and could expose us to
increased business or credit risk in dealing with customers or suppliers adversely affected by economic conditions. Our ability to collect accounts receivable may be delayed or precluded if our customers are unable to pay their obligations.



|2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
|-- | -------------------------------------------

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities
reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories and intangible assets, as well as calculations related to
contingencies, accruals and indemnifications, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on managements best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, using historical
experience and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the current economic environment. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets,
volatile equity, foreign currency and energy markets, and declines in consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision,
actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in those future periods.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with a purchased maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, cash equivalents consisted of money market
accounts and commercial paper.

Short-term Investments

We consider all short-term investments to be available-for-sale securities. These securities are comprised of certificates of deposits and
corporate bonds, all with purchased maturities greater than ninety days. Available-

for-sale securities are carried at fair value, based upon quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses reported in stockholders equity as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive loss. There were no securities held as of December 31, 2010 in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve or more months.

The following is a summary of our available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:

At December 31, 2010, all of our available-for-sale securities mature within less than one year.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

In 2010, 2009 and 2008, we paid interest of $339,281, $361,121, and $409,902, respectively. In 2010 and 2008, we capitalized interest of $20,238 and $47,463, respectively. No interest was capitalized in
2009.

In 2010, we received a federal income tax refund of $597,393 related to refundable alternative minimum taxes paid in
previous years, and paid state income taxes of $11,500. In 2009 and 2008, we paid federal and state income taxes of $16,461 and $381,950, respectively.

In 2010, we recorded through the Statement of Operations a decrease in our allowance for doubtful accounts of $114,716. In 2009 and 2008, we recorded through the Statement of Operations an increase in our
allowance for doubtful accounts of $93,472 and $78,044, respectively. We had write-offs of $35,902 and $101,412 against the allowance for doubtful accounts in 2010 and 2008, respectively. We had no write-offs against the allowance for doubtful
accounts in 2009.

In 2008, we recorded accruals for purchases of property and equipment of $25,250. We had no accruals for
purchases of property and equipment in 2010 and 2009.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable have been reduced by an estimated allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. This estimated
allowance is based primarily on managements evaluation of specific balances as they become past due, the financial condition of our customers and our historical experience related to write-offs. If not reserved or exempted through these
specific examination procedures, our policy is to reserve 100% of accounts receivable in aging categories greater than 120 days.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market
determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include the cost of raw materials, labor and overhead. The majority of our inventories are subject to expiration dating. We continually evaluate quantities on hand and the carrying value of our
inventories to determine the need for reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, based primarily on the estimated forecast of product sales. When

---

factors indicate that impairment has occurred, either a reserve is established against the inventories carrying value or the inventories are completely written off, as in the case of
lapsing expiration dates. In addition to reserving for these items identified through specific identification procedures, we also reserve for unidentified scrap or spoilage under a fixed-formula methodology. We currently buy a portion of our
cryosurgical product line from a foreign vendor and pay for such purchases in euros.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions or improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are
charged to expense. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Buildings are depreciated over twenty to forty years, while computer equipment, machinery and
equipment, and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over three to ten years. Building improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the related property amounts are relieved from the
accounts, and any gain or loss is recorded in the statement of operations.

Patents and Product Rights

Patents and product rights consist of costs associated with the acquisition of patents, licenses and product distribution rights. Patents
and product rights are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to ten years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

If indicators of impairment exist, we assess the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and patents and product rights, by determining whether the carrying
value of such assets can be recovered through the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If impairment is indicated, we measure the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of
the assets to the fair value of these assets, which is generally determined based on the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the use of the asset.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize product revenues when there is persuasive
evidence that an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title has passed and collection is reasonably assured. Product revenues are recorded net of allowances for any discounts or rebates. We do not grant price protection or product
return rights to our customers, except for warranty returns and return rights granted to retail customers for our domestic cryosurgical wart removal product.

Historically, returns arising from warranty issues have been infrequent and immaterial. Accordingly, we expense warranty returns as incurred. For our cryosurgical product sold in the domestic retail
market, a provision for estimated product returns is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period in which the revenue is recognized. In addition, revenue from domestic retail sales is also recorded net of promotional, advertising, and
slotting allowances granted to the retail trade.

Royalty income from the grant of license rights is recognized during the
period in which the revenue is earned and the amount is determinable from the licensee.

Product development revenues are
recognized over the period in which the related product development efforts are performed. Amounts received prior to the performance of product development efforts are recorded as deferred revenues. Grant revenue is recognized as the related work is
performed and costs are incurred. We record shipping and handling charges billed to our customers as product revenue and the related expense as cost of products sold. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities, such as sales or value-added taxes,
are excluded from product revenues.

Our distribution agreement with Abbott Laboratories terminated at the end of
2008. Effective January 1, 2009, we began selling the OraQuick ADVANCE® rapid HIV-1/2 test directly
to U.S. hospitals and other customers previously served by Abbott. As a result, we had no sales to Abbott during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of
costs incurred in performing research and development activities including salaries and benefits, facilities expenses, overhead expenses, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, contract services and other outside expenses.
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Clinical trial expenses include expenses associated with contract research organizations, or CROs. The invoicing from CROs can precede the services provided or can lag the service
period by several months. Invoices paid prior to service being provided are recorded as a prepaid expense and then expensed appropriately as services are provided. We accrue the cost of services rendered but unbilled by CROs based on purchase order
estimates provided by the CROs. Differences between actual and estimated clinical trial expenses recorded are generally not material and would be adjusted for in the period in which they become known.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. During 2010, 2009, and 2008, we incurred $209,621, $165,394, and $893,279, respectively, in advertising expenses. Included in advertising expenses for
2008 was $687,308 in reimbursement for marketing expenses incurred for our OTC cryosurgical products.

Stock-Based
Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation to employees and directors using the fair value method. We have
elected to recognize compensation expense for stock option awards issued to employees and directors on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. To satisfy the exercise of options or to issue new restricted stock, we
normally issue new shares rather than purchase shares on the open market.

Income Taxes

We follow the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the respective tax basis of assets and liabilities, and operating loss and credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences



F-10



---

and operating loss and credit carryforwards are expected to be recovered, settled or utilized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date.

We assess the realizability of our net deferred tax assets on a quarterly
basis. If, after considering all relevant positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized we reduce our net deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance. The
realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on several factors, including the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards.

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated from euros into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average
exchange rates for the period. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a separate component of stockholders equity.

Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is generally computed
assuming the exercise or vesting of all dilutive securities such as common stock options and unvested restricted stock. As a result of our net losses for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, outstanding common stock options and
unvested restricted stock representing 5,577,771, 6,033,966, and 5,403,228 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

We classify items of other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature and disclosure of the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss), separately from accumulated deficit and additional
paid-in capital, in the stockholders equity section of our balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of December 31, 2010, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values based on their short-term nature. In addition, we believe the carrying value of our debt instruments, which do not have readily ascertainable market values,
approximate their fair values, given that the interest rates on outstanding borrowings approximate market rates.

Fair value
measurements of all financial assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:



|         |  |                                                                                                                                                                               
|-------- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 1: |  | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;                                     
|         | 
|Level 2: |  | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
and   
|         | 
|Level 3: |  | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market
activity).

All our available for sale securities were classified and measured as Level 1 instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-17,
Revenue Recognition  Milestone Method, which amended guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is
contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. The amendments in this ASU are effective on a prospective
basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Amortization expense for 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $502,333, $542,913, and $898,931,
respectively.

Amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is estimated as follows:



|       |  |   |           | 
|------ |  | - | --------- | 
|2011   |  | $ | 744,000   | 
|2012   |  |   | 540,000   | 
|2013   |  |   | 540,000   | 
|2014   |  |   | 491,250   | 
|2015   |  |   | 450,000   | 
|Beyond |  |   | 2,041,669 | 

In June 1998, we
acquired the patents and exclusive worldwide distribution rights to our cryosurgical product line. The purchase price of $2,548,620, including transaction costs, was recorded as patents and product rights and is fully amortized.

In June 2004, we entered into a sublicense agreement with a third party, pursuant to which we have been granted a limited, worldwide,
non-exclusive sublicense to certain HIV-2 patents held by such party. The agreement required us to pay the third party a one-time non-refundable license fee of $900,000, which was recorded as patents and product rights and is being amortized through
June 30, 2014.

In August 2005, we entered into a license agreement with third parties, pursuant to
which we have been granted a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license related to certain Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) patents held by such parties. The agreement required us to pay the third parties a one-time non-refundable
license fee of $1,500,000, which was paid in August 2005. In December 2006, the first milestone was achieved and $3,000,000 was paid in 2007. In November 2008, we achieved a second milestone upon filing our OraQuick® HCV pre-market approval application with the FDA and paid a $1,000,000 license fee. This fee was recognized as
acquired in-process technology and included in research and development expense in our 2008 Statement of Operations as additional research and development efforts and regulatory approval was required in order to commercialize this product in the
U.S. domestic market.

Managements intent in executing the HCV license agreement was to provide for various alternatives
of the licensed patents, one of which was the marketing and sale of an existing rapid HCV test supplied by a third party manufacturer in certain developing countries. Based on managements estimate of the cash flows to be received from future
product sales in these international markets, we capitalized both the $1,500,000 and $3,000,000 payments. We were amortizing these amounts to cost of products sold on a straight-line basis over ten years, which represented managements estimate
of the remaining useful life of the licensed patents.

However, we were unable to penetrate the international marketplace with
this third-partys rapid HCV test. In addition, given the impact of the global recession and the deteriorating status of certain third-world economies at that time, we no longer believed that we would be successful in selling a
third-partys rapid HCV test for the foreseeable future. As a result, during the second quarter of 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of $3,028,375 which represented the remaining net book value of the HCV license, patents and product
rights.

During 2010, upon achievement of three additional domestic development and commercial milestones, we paid a total of
$4,500,000 in license fees pursuant to the terms of this HCV license agreement. Based on our estimate of the cash flows to be received from future product sales in the domestic market that utilize this HCV technology, we capitalized these fees as
patent and product rights. We are amortizing the amounts to cost of products sold on a straight-line basis over ten years, which represents the expected life of the product. No additional payments are require under this agreement.

In December 2006, we amended a license agreement with third parties, pursuant to which we have been granted a limited, non-exclusive
license to certain lateral flow technology patents held by such parties. The amendment provided for the renewal of our license to certain lateral flow patents held by these parties, the

expansion of these patents to future product applications to be developed by us, and the settlement of prior royalty obligations arising prior to the amendment date. It required us to pay the
third parties a one-time non-refundable fee of $1,750,000 which was allocated based upon the relative fair values of the items contained in the agreement. Accordingly, in December 2006, we capitalized $1,000,000 as patent and product rights and are
amortizing this amount to cost of products sold through December 2011.



|6. | PREPAID EXPENSES:
|-- | -----------------

In January 2010, we entered into an agreement with the supplier of HIV peptides used in the manufacture of our OraQuick HIV test. This agreement was executed in connection with the suppliers
bankruptcy and terminated our obligations to exclusively purchase peptides from this supplier and to pay royalties on worldwide sales of our OraQuick® tests. Pursuant to this agreement, we made a one-time payment of $2.1 million to this supplier in full consideration of the termination of the original agreement and
satisfaction of all obligations, including our royalty obligations, to this supplier. We also received a fully paid-up worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to this suppliers patent rights related to the peptides, which expires on
July 8, 2011. We recorded the payment, net of the $1,379,732 in royalties previously accrued, as prepaid royalties, which is being expensed in connection with sales of our OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV test through June 30, 2011.

In July 2009, we entered into a termination and release agreement with the third party from whom we purchased certain patents, trademarks, copyrights and technology related to our Histofreezer® product line. Pursuant to this termination and release agreement, we made a one-time payment of $643,050 to this
third party in full consideration of the termination of the original asset purchase agreement we executed with this third party in June 1998, and its related royalty obligations, which extended until December 2011. We recorded this payment, net of
the royalties previously accrued, as prepaid royalties, and it was and will be expensed in relation to
Histofreezer® revenues through December 31, 2011.

In August 2008, a complaint was filed against the Company in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey by
Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc., and Inverness Medical Switzerland GmbH (collectively, Inverness) and Church & Dwight Co. Inc., alleging that the Companys OraQuick ADVANCE® Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test infringed US Patent No. 6,485,982 (the 982 Patent). In November
2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Inverness and Church & Dwight and the litigation was dismissed with prejudice. Under the settlement agreement, the Company made a $3,000,000 payment to Inverness. Inverness granted
the Company nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, non-transferable and nonsublicensable (sub)licenses to certain patent rights, including the 982 Patent. In addition, each party received limited supply and distribution rights to certain
other products developed by the other party. We allocated the $3,000,000 payment based upon the relative fair values of the litigation settlement, of which, $1,451,183 was immediately expensed in our 2009 Statement of Operations and $1,548,817 was
recorded as prepaid royalties and it was and will be expensed to cost of goods sold, based on future OraQuick
ADVANCE® HIV revenues through December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had in place a $10,000,000 credit facility (the Credit
Facility) with Comerica Bank (Comerica). Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, principal and interest fixed at 4.15% per annum, are payable monthly through June 2011, at which time the remaining unpaid principal
balance is payable. Accordingly, beginning on June 30, 2010, our remaining unpaid principal balance was classified as a current liability as it will be payable within the ensuing twelve months. As of December 31, 2010, we had no available
borrowings under this Credit Facility. We are evaluating possible options to address the upcoming expiration of the Credit Facility, including refinancing with a new credit facility or other borrowings.

All borrowings under the Credit Facility are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of our assets, including present
and future accounts receivable, chattel paper, contracts and contract rights, equipment and accessories, general intangibles, investments, instruments, inventories, and a mortgage on our three facilities in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The Credit
Facility contains certain covenants that set forth minimum requirements for our quick ratio, liquidity, and tangible net worth. We were in full compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2010. The Credit Facility also restricts our
ability to pay dividends, to make certain investments, to incur additional indebtedness, to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, and to merge or consolidate operations with an unaffiliated entity, without the consent of
Comerica.

In November 2009, The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 was
enacted. This new law extended the carryback period for a net operating loss (NOL) from two years up to a maximum of five years. The carryback of the NOL can be applied to both regular tax NOLs and alternative minimum tax NOLs (AMT
NOL). The new law also eliminates the 90% limitation on the use of any AMT NOLs. As a result of the elimination of the 90% limitations, in 2009 we elected to carryback our 2008 AMT NOL to our 2007, 2006, and 2005 tax years and applied for a
refund of the AMT taxes paid for those years. As such, in the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded a $632,000 federal benefit associated with the AMT NOL carryback.

A reconciliation of the statutory United States federal income tax rate to our effective tax rate for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 is as follows:

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the basis of assets and
liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and tax purposes, and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Significant components of our total deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

In assessing the realizability of our net deferred tax asset, we consider all relevant positive and negative
evidence in determining whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The realization of the gross deferred tax assets is dependent on several factors, including the generation of
sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the NOL carryforwards.

Pursuant to FASB accounting guidance, a
cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence to be considered when evaluating the need for a valuation allowance and this evidence is difficult to overcome. Based upon our pre-tax loss in 2008, and our projection of a
pre-tax loss in 2009, which would result in a net cumulative three-year loss and the volatility and uncertainty in the global economy, we determined that it was more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets would not be realized in the
immediate future. Accordingly, we recorded an income tax charge of $25,978,167 in the fourth quarter of 2008 to establish a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset. During 2010 and 2009 we continued to reevaluate our

valuation allowance position and believe that it is more likely than not that our deferred income tax asset will not be realized in the immediate future. As such, we maintained a full valuation
allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Our federal NOL carryforwards expire as
follows:



|                   |  |      |            | 
|------------------ |  | ---- | ---------- | 
|Year of Expiration |  | NOLs |           
|2011               |  | $    | 1,215,525  | 
|2017-2018          |  |      | 7,563,004  | 
|2019               |  |      | 12,807,326 | 
|2020-2024          |  |      | 16,397,737 | 
|2025-2030          |  |      | 12,420,404 | 
|                   |  |      |            | 
|                   |  | $    | 50,403,996 | 
|                   |  |      |            | 

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the annual amount of NOLs available to be used in
any given year in the event of a significant change in ownership. On September 29, 2000, two separate companies, STC Technologies, Inc. and Epitope, Inc., merged to form our Company. A significant change in ownership, as defined by
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, occurred in connection with this merger. As such, the utilization of NOLs generated prior to September 29, 2000 is limited to approximately $13,700,000 per year. We do not believe that this
limitation will have a material adverse impact on the utilization of our NOL carryforwards in future years.

As of
December 31, 2010, our gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled $2,089,801 of which, if recognized, $2,064,643 would result in a reduction to our effective tax rate. We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of income tax expense. Interest and penalties were immaterial in 2010, 2009 and 2008. As a result of our net operating loss carryforward position, we are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service since our inception, as well as by
several state jurisdictions for the years ended December 31, 2000 through 2010.

A reconciliation of the beginning and
ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

|10. | STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY:
|--- | ---------------------

Stock-Based Awards

We grant stock-based awards under the OraSure Technologies, Inc. 2000 Stock Award Plan, as amended and restated (the 2000 Plan). The 2000 Plan permits stock-based awards to employees, outside
directors and consultants or other third-party advisors. Awards which may be granted under the 2000 Plan include qualified incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted awards, performance awards and
other stock-based awards. We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards issued to employees and directors on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. To satisfy the exercise of options or to issue new
restricted stock, we normally issue new shares rather than purchase shares on the open market.

---

Under the terms of the 2000 Plan, nonqualified options may be granted to eligible employees,
including our officers at a price not less than 75 percent of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. The option term and vesting schedule of such awards may be either unlimited or have a specified period in which to
vest and be exercised. To date, options generally have been granted with ten-year exercise periods and an exercise price not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Options generally vest over four years, with one quarter of the
options vesting one year after grant and the remainder vesting on a monthly basis over the next three years.

As of
December 31, 2010, 2,555,240 shares were available for future grants under the 2000 Plan.

The fair value of each stock
option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions:

The 2000 Plan also permits us to grant restricted shares of our common stock to eligible
employees, including officers, and our outside directors. Generally, these shares are nontransferable until vested and are subject to vesting requirements and/or forfeiture, as determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The
market value of these shares at the date of grant is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the restrictions lapse. Compensation cost of $2,354,109, $2,621,723 and $3,352,876 related to restricted shares was recognized
during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010, there was $2,264,291 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested
restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

In connection with the
vesting of restricted shares during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we purchased and immediately retired 136,042, 132,785 and 135,432 shares with aggregate values of $708,785, $391,590 and $995,367, respectively, in
satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations.

Certain of our share-based payment arrangements are vested stock options
held by certain nonemployee consultants and are accounted for as liability-classified awards. The fair value of these awards is remeasured at each financial reporting date until the awards are settled or expire. As of December 31, 2010 and
2009, $2,217 and $8,911, respectively, was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, for stock options to acquire 8,000 and 58,000 shares, respectively, of common stock, which remain unexercised. For the years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the mark-to-market adjustment recorded as a reduction of compensation costs in the Statements of Operations was $6,695, $3,074 and $137,332, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 5, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which we are permitted to acquire up to $25,000,000 of our outstanding common shares. No shares were
purchased and retired in 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we purchased and retired 108,293 shares of common stock at an average price of $2.85 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we purchased and retired
1,147,730 shares of common stock at an average price of $4.46 per share.

From time-to-time, we are involved in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In managements opinion,
based upon the advice of counsel, the outcomes of such actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our future financial position or results of operations.



|12. | RETIREMENT PLANS:
|--- | -----------------

Substantially all of our employees are eligible to participate in the OraSure Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the 401(k)
Plan). The 401(k) Plan permits voluntary employee contributions to be excluded from an employees current taxable income under provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) and the regulations thereunder. The 401(k) Plan also
provides for us to match employee contributions up to $4,000 per year. Contributions to the 401(k) Plan, net of forfeitures, were $597,285, $563,017, and $579,592 in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

|13. | OTHER INCOME:
|--- | -------------

In January
2008, we entered into a settlement and license agreement with Merck to resolve our patent infringement litigation against Merck. Under the terms of the agreement, Merck was required to make a payment of $4,883,714 to us. This payment was received
during the first quarter of 2008 and recorded as a reduction of operating expenses.



|14. | GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION:
|--- | -----------------------

We believe we operate within one reportable segment. Our products are sold principally in the United States and Europe. Segmentation of
operating income and identifiable assets is not applicable since our revenues outside the United States are export sales, and we do not have significant operating assets outside the United States.

The following table represents total revenues by geographic area, based on the location of the customer (amounts in thousands):
