|A. | BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
|-- | --------------------

Business
Description.

Transgenomic, Inc. provides innovative products for the purification and analysis of nucleic acids used in
the life sciences industry for research focused on molecular genetics and diagnostics. We also provide genetic variation analytical services to the medical research, clinical and pharmaceutical markets. Net sales are categorized as Instrument
Related Business and Laboratory Services.

Instrument Related Business:



| |  |  | Bioinstruments. Our flagship product is the
WAVE® System which has broad applicability to genetic variation detection in both molecular genetic research and
molecular diagnostics. There is a worldwide installed base of nearly 1,500 WAVE Systems as of June 30, 2010. We also distribute bioinstruments produced by other manufacturers (OEM Equipment) through our sales and distribution
network. Service contracts to maintain installed systems are sold and supported by technical support personnel.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Bioconsumables. The installed WAVE base and some third-party installed platforms generate a demand for consumables that are required for the
continued operation of the bioinstruments. We develop, manufacture and sell these consumable products. In addition, we manufacture and sell consumable products that can be used on multiple, independent platforms. These products include
SURVEYOR® Nuclease and a range of HPLC separation columns.

| |  |  | Pharmacogenomics Research Services. Pharmacogenomics research services are provided by our Contract Research Organization located in Omaha, Nebraska.
It specializes in pharmocogenomic, biomarker and mutation discovery research serving the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries world-wide for disease research, drug and diagnostic development and clinical trial support.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although we have experienced recurring net losses (resulting in an accumulated deficit of $131.7 million at
June 30, 2010) management believes existing sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million, are sufficient to meet expected cash needs into 2011. We will need to increase net sales in order to meet our liquidity needs
on a long-term basis. If we cannot increase net sales, further reductions to operating expenses will be needed. In future periods, there is no assurance that we will be able to increase net sales or further reduce expenses and, accordingly, we may
not have sufficient sources of liquidity to continue operations indefinitely.



|B. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- | ------------------------------------------

Principles of Consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Transgenomic, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties.

Certain risks and uncertainties are inherent in our day-to-day operations and to the process of preparing our financial statements. The
more significant of those risks are presented below and throughout the notes to the financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009



|1. | Use of Estimates.
|-- | -----------------

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, estimates and assumptions
associated with the determination of the fair value of certain assets and related impairments require considerable judgment by management. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing these consolidated financial
statements.



|2. | Concentration of Revenue Risk.
|-- | ------------------------------

One customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was an
instrument sale that will be nonrecurring. No customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2009 or the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 two customers accounted for more than 10% of the Laboratory Services net sales. These customers represented 25% of the Laboratory Services net sales for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009 one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Laboratory Services net sales. We have additional risk due to the global economic crisis. Our existing and future customers may not have the ability to obtain
adequate financing or fulfill their financial obligations.

Fair Value.

Unless otherwise specified, book value approximates fair market value.

Concentrations of Cash.

From time to time, we may maintain a cash position with financial institutions in amounts that exceed federally insured limits. We have
not experienced any losses on such accounts as of June 30, 2010.

Basis of Presentation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 was derived from our audited balance sheet as of that date. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and operating results for the interim periods. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2009 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments with original maturities at acquisition of three months or less. Such investments
presently consist of temporary overnight investments.

Accounts Receivable.

The following is a summary of activity for the allowance for doubtful accounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009:

While payment terms are generally 30 days, we have also provided extended payment terms
of up to 90 days in certain cases. We operate globally and some of the international payment terms may be greater than 90 days. Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice and shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The estimate made
for doubtful accounts is based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a quarterly basis. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customers financial
condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

Inventories.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market net of allowance for obsolete inventory. Cost is computed using standard costs for
finished goods and average or latest actual cost for raw materials and work in process, which approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

The following is a summary of activity for the allowance for obsolete inventory during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009:



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

We determine the
allowance for obsolete inventory by evaluating quarterly the inventory for items deemed to be slow moving or obsolete. Included in our provision is the foreign currency impact of the consolidation of our subsidiary.

Property and Equipment.

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:



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

Each of these assets is treated as long-lived assets. Long-lived assets will be tested
for impairment on an annual basis or when a significant event occurs which may impact impairment. We recorded no impairment in the three or six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.



|3. | Other Long-Term Assets.
|-- | -----------------------

Other long-term assets include US security deposits and deferred tax assets, net of applicable valuation allowances.

Stock Based Compensation.

All stock options awarded to date have exercise prices equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant and have
ten-year contractual terms. Unvested options as of June 30, 2010 had vesting periods of three years from date of grant. None of the stock options outstanding at June 30, 2010 are subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions.

We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock
options. Compensation expense is based on the calculated fair value of the awards as measured at the grant date and is expensed ratably over the service period of the awards (generally the vesting period).

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded compensation expense recovery of less than $0.1 million within the selling,
general and administrative expense. Two executive officers departed during the second quarter of 2010. All stock options that were unvested were forfeited at the time of their departure as their requisite service period was not completed. The
vesting of options exercisable for the purchase of 1.3 million shares was offset by the expense recovery for stock options which were forfeited due to the requisite service not being rendered. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we
recorded compensation expenses of $0.1 million within selling, general and administrative expense as a result of the vesting of options exercisable for the purchase of 1.7 million shares. As of June 30, 2010, there was less than $0.1
million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of nearly three years.

The fair value of the options granted during the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was estimated on their respective grant dates
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were 75,000 stock options granted during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The Black-Scholes model was used with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 1.98% based on the U.S.
Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant; dividend yields of zero percent; expected life of five years, based on historical exercise activity behavior; and volatility of 102.69% based on the historical volatility of our stock over a time that
is consistent with the expected life of the option. A small group of senior executives hold the majority of the stock options and are expected to hold the options until they are vested. Forfeitures have been assumed in the calculation.

Income Taxes.

Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities at each balance sheet date using tax rates expected to be in effect in the year the differences are expected
to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.

Net Sales Recognition.

Net sales of products are recognized in accordance with the terms of the sales arrangement. Such recognition is based on receipt of an
unconditional customer order and transfer of title and risk of ownership to the customer, typically upon shipment of the product under a purchase order. Our sales terms do not provide for the right of return unless the product is damaged or
defective. Net sales from certain services associated with the analytical instruments, to be performed subsequent to shipment of the products, is deferred and recognized when the services are provided. Such services, mainly limited to installation
and training services that are not essential to the functionality of the instruments, typically are performed in a timely manner subsequent to shipment of the instrument. We also enter into various service contracts that cover installed instruments.
These contracts cover specific time periods. Net sales associated with these contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the service period. At June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, deferred net sales, mainly associated with our service
contracts, included in the balance sheet in other accrued expenses, was approximately $1.4 million for each of the periods.

Net sales from our Molecular Clinical Reference Laboratory Services are recognized on an
individual test basis and takes place when the test report is completed, reviewed and sent to the client less the reserve for insurance, Medicare and Medicaid expected reimbursement. There are no deferred net sales associated with our Molecular
Clinical Reference Laboratory. Adjustments to the allowances, based on actual receipts from third party payers, are recorded upon settlement. In our Pharmacogenomics Research Services Group, we perform services on a project by project basis. When we
get payment in advance we recognize revenue when we deliver the service. These projects typically do not extend beyond one year. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, deferred net sales associated with the pharmacogenomics research projects included in
the balance sheet in other accrued expenses, was less than $0.1 million for each period.

Taxes collected from customers and
remitted to government agencies for specific net sales producing transactions are recorded net with no effect on the income statement.

Research and Development.

Research and development and various collaboration costs are charged to expense when incurred.

Translation of Foreign Currency.

Our foreign subsidiary uses the local currency of the country in which they are located as their functional currency. Their assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Cumulative translation losses of $0.2 million are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets as of June 30, 2010. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. For transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency, we recognized net losses of $0.5 million and $0.4 million as
foreign currency transaction losses in the determination of net income for the 6 months ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Comprehensive Income.

Accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted of foreign currency translation
adjustments, net of applicable tax of zero. We deem our foreign investments to be permanent in nature and do not provide for taxes on currency translation adjustments arising from converting investments in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars.

Earnings Per Share.

Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted
earnings per share include shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or conversion rights that have exercise or conversion prices below the market value of our common stock. Options, warrants and conversion rights
pertaining to 10,763,324 and 11,514,720 shares of our common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The options, warrants and conversion rights that were exercisable
in 2010 and 2009 were not included because the effect would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss. As a result, none of our outstanding options, warrants or conversion rights affect the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (a
consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force); effective for years beginning after June 15, 2010. This standard update will be effective for us on January 1, 2011. Vendors often provide multiple products and/or services to their
customers as part of a single arrangement. These deliverables may be provided at different points in time or over different time periods. The existing guidance regarding how and whether to separate these deliverables and how to allocate the overall
arrangement consideration to each was originally captured in EITF Issue 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, which is now codified at ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition  Multiple-Element Arrangements. The issuance
of ASU 2009-13 amends ASC 605-25 and represents a significant shift from the existing guidance that was considered abuse-preventative and heavily geared toward ensuring that revenue recognition was not accelerated. The application of this new
guidance is expected to result in accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements that better reflects their economics as more arrangements will be separated into individual units of accounting. We are currently evaluating the impact of
adopting ASU 2009-13.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (ASC 985): Certain
Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force); effective for years beginning after June 15, 2010. This standard update will be effective for us on January 1, 2011. ASU 2009-14
modifies the existing scope guidance in ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, for revenue arrangements with tangible products that include software elements. This modification was made primarily due to the changes in ASC 605-25 noted
previously, which further differentiated the separation and allocation guidance applicable to non-software arrangements as compared to software arrangements. Prior to the modification of ASC 605-25, the separation and allocation guidance for
software and non-software arrangements was more similar. Under ASC 985-605, which was originally issued as AICPA Statement of position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, an arrangement to sell a tangible product along with software was
considered to be in its scope if the software was more than incidental to the product as a whole. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2009-14.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009



We lease certain equipment, vehicles and operating facilities under non-cancellable
operating leases that expire on various dates through 2014. The future minimum lease payments required under these leases are approximately $0.5 million in 2010, $0.6 million in 2011, $0.2 million in 2012, less than $0.1 million in 2013 and less
than $0.1 million in 2014. Rent expense for each of the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.2 million. Rent expense for each of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.4 million.

We have entered into an employment agreement with Craig J. Tuttle, our President and Chief Executive Officer. The current term of
Mr. Tuttles employment agreement ends on July 12, 2011. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Tuttle will be entitled to receive severance payments from the Company if his employment is terminated involuntarily except if
such termination is based on just cause, as that term is defined in the employment agreement. The severance payment payable in the event of involuntary termination without just cause is equal to his annual base salary at the time of
termination and will be paid over a twelve-month period. The employment agreement provides that the severance payment provisions will be honored if the Company is acquired by, or merged into, another company and his position is eliminated as a
result of such acquisition or merger. In addition we have one employee who is entitled to a severance payment of less than $0.1 million if the employees position is eliminated prior to July 2012.

At June 30, 2010, firm commitments to vendors to purchase components used in WAVE Systems and instruments manufactured by others
totaled $0.5 million.



|F. | INCOME TAXES
|-- | ------------

We file
income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions. We have statutes of limitation open for Federal income tax returns related to tax years 2007 through 2009. We have state income
tax returns subject to examination primarily for tax years 2006 through 2009. Open tax years related to foreign jurisdictions remain subject to examination. Our primary foreign jurisdiction is the United Kingdom which has open tax years for 2006
through 2009.

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was less than $0.1 million. This is the result
of the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities reported in financial statements of our subsidiary outside the U.S. This tax expense includes state and franchise taxes as well as reserves for uncertain income taxes. Income tax benefit for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 was less than $0.1 million. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is (2.65)% which is primarily the result of valuation allowances against the net operating losses for the U.S.
partially adjusted by permanent differences related to intercompany foreign currency exchange of our subsidiary outside the U.S. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 4.6%.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no material changes to the liability for uncertain tax positions.



|G. | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
|-- | ---------------------

We maintain an employee 401(k) retirement savings plan that allows for voluntary contributions into designated investment funds by
eligible employees. We currently match the employees contributions at the rate of 50% on the first 6% of contributions. We may, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, make additional contributions on behalf of the Plans
participants. Contributions to the 401(k) plan were less than $0.1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

|(1) | These warrants were issued in conjunction with a private placement of common stock in October 2005.

|(2) | These warrants were issued in conjunction with two loans that had been made to us by Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (the Laurus Loans), and subsequent
modifications of these loans. In conjunction with the 2005 private placement, the exercise prices of these warrants were adjusted according to repricing provisions contained in the original warrant agreements. While the Laurus Loans have been
terminated, the warrants remain outstanding. Due to the repricing provision, these warrants are considered liabilities for financial reporting purposes. We have assessed and determined the fair value is $0.

sinking fund providing for the purchase or redemption of such shares; (iv) whether shares shall be convertible and, if so, the terms and provisions thereof; (v) what restrictions are to apply, if any, on the issue or reissue of any
additional preferred stock; and (vi) whether shares have voting rights. The preferred stock may be issued with a preference over the common stock as to the payment of dividends. The Company has no current plans to issue any series of preferred
stock. Classes of stock such as the preferred stock may be used, in certain circumstances, to create voting impediments on extraordinary corporate transactions or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a merger or otherwise to gain control of the
Company. For the foregoing reasons, any preferred stock issued by the Company could have an adverse effect on the rights of the holders of the common stock.

|J. | OPERATING SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
|-- | --------------------------------------------

Our companys chief operating decision-maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who regularly evaluates our performance based on net
sales and gross profit. The preparation of this segment analysis requires management to make estimates and assumptions around expense below the gross profit level. While we believe the segment information to be directionally correct, actual results
could differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing this information.

The accounting policies of the segments
are the same as the policies discussed in Footnote B  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

We have two
reportable operating segments.

Segment information for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

TRANSGENOMIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009



No other country accounted for more than 5% of total net sales.

Approximately 80% of our long-lived assets are within the United States. Substantially all of the remaining long-lived assets are within
Europe.



|K. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
|-- | -----------------

Events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are complete, are reviewed to
determine if they should be recognized.

At the end of July 2010 we decided to consolidate our research and development
function in Omaha, Nebraska. We provided notice to our landlord in Gaithersburg, Maryland effective August 1, 2010. Our estimated closure costs are $0.2 million which includes employee severance, facility costs, and costs to move equipment to
Omaha. The majority of these costs will be recognized in the third quarter of 2010.

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



| |  |  | Bioconsumables. The installed WAVE base and some third-party installed platforms generate a demand for consumables that are required for the
continued operation of the bioinstruments. We develop, manufacture and sell these consumable products. In addition, we manufacture and sell consumable products that can be used on multiple, independent platforms. These products include
SURVEYOR® Nuclease and a range of HPLC separation columns.

Although we have experienced recurring net losses (resulting in an accumulated deficit of $131.7 million at
June 30, 2010) management believes existing sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million, are sufficient to meet expected cash needs during 2010. We will need to increase net sales in order to meet our liquidity
needs on a long-term basis. If we cannot increase net sales, further reductions to operating expenses will be needed. In future periods, there is no assurance that we will be able to increase net sales or further reduce expenses and, accordingly, we
may not have sufficient sources of liquidity to continue operations indefinitely.

Executive Summary

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were flat compared to the same period in 2009. Net sales in our Instrument Related
Business were up 1% or $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Net sales from bioinstruments were up 8% and net sales of consumables were down 7% for the comparable six month periods. During the
six months ended June 30, 2010, net sales from Laboratory Services were flat, compared to the same six month period in 2009. The Clinical Reference Laboratory decreased 5% and net sales from Pharmacogenomics Research Services increased by 15%.

Our gross profit margin was flat for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Laboratory
Services gross margin decreased from 40% gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 36% for the same period in 2010. Net loss was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net loss of $1.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2009.

Outlook

We continue to leverage our core instrument business for on-going instrument sales worldwide as well as employing our instruments and
related expertise in our two laboratory services businesses. We anticipate continued growth in both of our laboratory services businesses and we continue to seek out new assay technologies and tests to license or develop internally to expand our
menu offerings for both service businesses. And although challenges do exist for WAVE System and consumable sales growth in our traditional markets, we are having some success with selling systems into new geographic areas, including the Middle
East, to continue the revenue from our instrument related business segment. We continue to look for emerging markets and novel applications to provide us with new opportunities for our WAVE System such as our newly launched K-RAS mutation
detection kit. We intend to continue to look for opportunities to diversify into new markets, including the personalized medicine market (particularly in oncology), where the sensitivities of our technologies are essential. As discussed
below, a recently licensed technology that could provide the highest sensitivity available in the marketplace is being refined for use on our Wave Systems. In addition, we are also selling refurbished WAVE Systems in order to allow an opportunity
for customers who may not be able to afford the full cost of a new system to purchase and utilize our WAVE technology. Additionally, we have developed credibility and momentum with third-party platforms that will allow us to leverage our direct
sales force and distribution network.

On the Laboratory Services front, we have completed cancer pathway gene mutation
projects for a number of high visibility pharmaceutical companies which have continued to demonstrate the unique sensitivity of detecting DNA mutations in cancer genes which are central to effective therapy selection for current and future cancer
therapeutics. To this end, we are now gaining clinical trial program contracts which we believe will more rapidly impact our revenue opportunities from this segment. To compliment our mutation detection expertise, we also have strengthened
our capabilities in biomarker development and mutation detection in novel cancer pathway genes which will aid in the development of true personalized medicine for our pharmaceutical partners. We recently licensed and are developing a new
technology for even greater DNA mutation enrichment and detection sensitivity which could prove to be the highest sensitivity technology in the market. In our Molecular Clinical Reference Laboratory we have continued to seek out or develop new
tests to further expand our menu and growth opportunities for this business, including a test that would determine the likelihood of the sibling of an autistic child also developing autism.

Uncertainties

We have historically operated at a loss and have not consistently generated sufficient cash from operating activities to cover our
operating expenses and other cash needs. While we have been able to historically finance our operating losses through borrowings or from the issuance of additional equity, there is the risk that we may not be able to obtain such funding in the
future. At June 30, 2010 we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million. We do believe that existing sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet expected cash needs into 2011.

The uncertainty of the current general economic conditions could negatively impact our business in the future. There are many factors
that affect the market demand for our products and services that we cannot control. Demand for our Instrument Related Business is affected by the needs and budgetary resources of research institutions, universities and hospitals. The instrument
purchase represents a significant expenditure by these types of customers and often requires a long sales cycle. These customers may not have the funding available to purchase our instruments. Competition and new instruments in the marketplace also
may impact our sales.

We have foreign currency revaluation risk, which occurs when a transaction occurs in a currency other
than the entitys functional currency. The majority of our international sales are transacted in the euro, which must be first converted into British pound sterling, and then into US dollars. At January 1, 2009 the Euro to
Great British Pound exchange rate was .9690 as compared to the June 30, 2010 rate of .8103. The Great British Pound to US Dollar exchange rate was 1.4501 at January 1, 2009 compared to 1.5071 at June 30, 2010. Fluctuations in the
foreign exchange rates could impact our business results. Foreign currency revaluation adjustments increased operating expenses and net loss by $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and
foreign currency revaluation adjustments increased operating expenses and net loss by $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Bioinstrument sales consist of sales of our WAVE System and associated equipment that we manufacture or
assemble, net sales from service contracts that we enter into with purchasers of our instruments, as well as sales of instruments we distribute for other manufacturers (OEM equipment). We also sell refurbished WAVE Systems in order to
access customers that may not be able to afford new systems. Bioinstrument net sales are down $0.1 million, or 4%, during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in bioinstrument net sales was
due to a change in the product mix sold during the quarter. No OEM instruments were sold in 2010 compared to three OEM sales in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease from OEM sales was offset by more WAVE sales. We sold eight more WAVE
instruments in the second quarter 2010 as compared to 2009, and the average sales price was higher due to the geographic location of the sales. This increase resulted from higher demand in our European market. Service contract sales were flat during
the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

Net sales of bioconsumables were down $0.3
million, or 14%, during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009. This decrease is related to lower sales volume.

Net sales of Laboratory Services were relatively flat with a 2% decrease during the three
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009. Laboratory Services sales includes both the Molecular Clinical Reference Laboratory Services and the Pharmacogenomics Research Services. The Molecular Clinical Reference Laboratory Services net sales
were down compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. The Molecular Clinical Reference Laboratory average revenue per test has decreased by 9% due to the mix of tests performed and increased Medicare and Medicaid test volumes which
generates lower reimbursement for these tests. The decrease in average revenue per test is offset by a 1% increase in sales volume. The Pharmacogenomics Research Services net sales of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was
up 23% compared to 2009. The Pharmacogenomics Research Services net sales has peaks due to the project related nature of the business. Each period for Pharmacogenomics Research Services should be considered on a stand alone basis and is not
indicative of future net sales.

Costs of Goods Sold.Costs of goods sold include material costs for the products that
we sell and substantially all other costs associated with our manufacturing facilities (primarily personnel costs, rent and depreciation). It also includes direct costs (primarily personnel costs, rent, supplies and depreciation) associated with our
Laboratory Services operations. Cost of goods sold consisted of the following:

Gross profit was $2.5 million or 49% of total net sales during the second quarter of 2010, compared to $2.7
million or 48% during the same period of 2009. Margins on the instrument related business are flat compared to the same period in 2009. The bioinstrument margin decreased from 57% in the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 54% in the same
period of 2010. This decrease is primarily driven by the composition of products sold. Margins on bioconsumables increased from 49% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 54% in the same period of 2010. During the three months ended
June 30, 2010, the gross margin for the Laboratory Services was 34% as compared to 31% in the same period of 2009. The gross margin on the Clinical Reference Laboratory was 47% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 36% for the second
quarter of 2009. Pharmacogenomics gross margin decreased from 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to a negative 6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. These decreases are due to staff added along with higher operating
supplies cost.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily
consist of personnel costs, marketing, travel and entertainment costs, professional fees, and facility costs. In addition, foreign currency revaluation is included here. Excluding foreign currency revaluation gains or losses, our selling, general
and administrative costs were flat compared to the same period of 2009. Foreign currency revaluation losses doubled in the three months ended June 30, 2010, at $0.4 million compared to $0.2 million in revaluation loss for the three months ended
June 30, 2009.

Research and Development Expenses.Research and development expenses primarily include personnel
costs, legal fees, outside services, collaboration expenses, supplies, and facility costs and are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. For the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 these costs totaled $0.5 million and $0.7 million
respectively.

to more instruments sold in the six months ended June 30, 2010. We sold five OEM instruments in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to four in the six months ended June 30, 2009. The average sales price was lower on our OEM
instruments sold in 2010 as compared to 2009. We sold five more WAVE System in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 2009, and the average sales price was higher due to the geographic location of the sales.

Net sales of bioconsumables decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009. The primary decrease in
consumables is due to lower volume in our European market.

Net sales of Laboratory Services were flat during the six months
ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009. Sales of Laboratory Services include both the Molecular Clinical Reference Laboratory Services and the Pharmacogenomics Research Services. The Molecular Clinical Reference Laboratory Services net sales of
$1.9 million represented a decrease of 5% over the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Molecular Clinical Reference Laboratory average revenue per test has decreased by 7% due to the mix of tests performed and the increased Medicare and
Medicaid test volumes which generates lower reimbursement for these tests. The decrease in average revenue per test is offset by a 3% increase in volume. The Pharmacogenomics Research Services net sales of $0.6 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2010 represented an increase of 15% from the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in Pharmacogenomics Research Services is due to the average revenue per client increasing for the six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the same period of 2009. The Pharmacogenomics Research Services net sales have peaks due to the project related nature of the business. Each period for Pharmacogenomics Research Services should be considered on a stand alone basis and is
not indicative of future net sales.

Gross profit was $5.4 million or 51% of total net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2010,
compared to $5.5 million or 52% during the same period of 2009. Cost of sales for the Instrument Related Business increased by 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. This is due to the mix of OEM and WAVE
sales, a lower average instrument sales price and lower service sales. Service volume was down in both the European and U.S. markets. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the gross margin for the Laboratory Services was 36% as compared to
40% in the same period of 2009. The erosion in the gross margin is driven by the lower average net sales reimbursement per test due to increased Medicare and Medicaid test volume and higher operating costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of
personnel costs, marketing, travel and entertainment costs, professional fees, and facility costs. In addition, foreign currency revaluation is included here. Excluding foreign currency revaluation losses, which was a loss of $0.5 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and a loss of $0.4 million in the same period of 2009, our selling, general and administrative costs decreased from $5.3 million to $5.0 million. The primary decrease is due to lower salary expense and lower stock
option expense.

Research and Development Expenses.Research and development expenses primarily include
personnel costs, legal fees, outside services, collaboration expenses, supplies, and facility costs and are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Research and development expenses were $1.3 million and $1.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Research and development expenses totaled 13% and 15% of net sales during
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Other Income (Expense).Other income
consists primarily of interest income from cash and cash equivalents invested in overnight instruments. Other income during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was less than $0.1 million for each period.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit).  Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was less than $0.1
million. This is the result of the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities reported in financial statements of subsidiaries outside the U.S. This tax expense includes state and franchise taxes as well as reserves for uncertain income
taxes. Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was less than $0.1 million.

The working capital decrease at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 is a result of our net
loss of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

We have historically operated at a loss and have not
consistently generated sufficient cash from operating activities to cover our operating and other cash expenses. While we have been able to historically finance our operating losses through borrowings or from the issuance of additional equity, we
currently have no borrowings and have no plans to issue additional equity securities for this purpose. At June 30, 2010 we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million. We believe that existing sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet
expected cash needs during 2010. We will need to increase our net sales, focus on receivables and inventory management or further reduce our operating expenses in order to be assured of meeting our liquidity needs on a long-term basis. However, we
cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our net sales or further reduce our expenses, or raise further capital or equity and, accordingly, we may not have sufficient sources of liquidity to continue our operations indefinitely.

Analysis of Cash Flows

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents.Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.2 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2010 to $5.4 million compared to no change in cash balances of $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. In 2010 net cash used in operating activities was less than $0.1 million, $0.1 million was used in investing
activities and $0.1 million in foreign currency exchange revaluation, which was offset by less than $0.1 million provided by financing activities. In 2009 net cash provided by operating activities was $0.2 million offset by $0.2 million of net cash
flow used in investing activities with minimal impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Cash Flows Used in Operating
Activities. Cash flows used in operating activities totaled less than $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $0.2 million during the same period of 2009. We were
able to be cash neutral for the six months ended June 30, 2010 by generating $1.4 million in cash. This was done by the timely collection of accounts receivable. In addition we required payment in advance of the shipment on instruments sold of
$0.8 million during the second quarter of 2010. The cash flows in operating activities in 2010 relate to the increase in accrued expenses of $0.4 million offset by the decrease in accounts receivable of $0.6 million and the net loss of $1.5 million.
The cash flows provided by operating activities in 2009 primarily relate to the accounts receivable collections of $1.4 million and noncash items of $0.5 million offset by the loss of $1.7 million.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities. Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $0.1 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $0.2 million during the same period of 2009. Cash flows used in investing activities in 2010 and 2009 consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities were less than $0.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010. This resulted from the issuance of common stock due to the exercise of stock options for 100,000 shares during the second quarter of 2010. There were no cash flows provided by or used in financing activities for the
six months ended June 30, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial
partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may involve the use of management judgments and
estimates. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical as they are both important to the portrayal of our financial statements and they require significant or complex judgments on the part of management. Our judgments and estimates
are based on experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Further, we evaluate our judgments and estimates from time to time as circumstances change. Actual financial results based on judgments or estimates may
vary under different assumptions or circumstances. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no changes to those
accounting pronouncements listed except as noted in note B to the financial statements contained in this report.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe that price inflation or deflation had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
operations during the periods presented.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Management performed, under the direction of our Chief Executive
Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation, the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2010 Transgenomics disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during the quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

We
are subject to a number of claims of various amounts which arise out of the normal course of our business. In our opinion, the disposition of pending claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

An
investment in our common stock involves a number of risks. You should carefully consider each of the risks described in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 before deciding to invest in our
common stock. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected, the market price of our common stock or other securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your
investment.

In addition to the risks described in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year Ended
December 31, 2009 please consider the following risks before deciding to invest in our common stock:

Providers of
clinical testing services may be subject to lawsuits alleging negligence or other similar legal claims. Potential suits could involve claims for substantial damages. Litigation could also have an adverse impact on our client base and reputation. We
maintain liability insurance coverage for certain claims that could result from providing or failing to provide clinical testing services, including inaccurate testing results and other exposures. Our insurance coverage limits our maximum recovery
on individual claims and, therefore, there is no assurance that such coverage will be adequate.

Note Regarding Risk Factors

The risk factors presented above and in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009 are all of the ones that we currently consider material. However, they are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us, or which we currently consider immaterial, may also adversely affect
us. There may be risks that a particular investor views differently from us, and our analysis might be wrong. If any of the risks that we face actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely
affected and could differ materially from any possible results suggested by any forward-looking statements that we have made or might make. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your
investment. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
