NOTE 2 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On July 11, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of GenturaDx, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation with operations in Hayward, California (“GenturaDx”). GenturaDx was a molecular diagnostics company in late stage development of a fully integrated, highly automated, real-time polymerase chain reaction ("PCR") system that employs a single-use cassette for sample-to-answer workflow. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of GenturaDx in exchange for approximately $49.3 million cash consideration plus (i) $3.0 million in consideration contingent upon achieving certain future development and regulatory milestones by December 31, 2013, (ii) up to $7.0 million in consideration contingent upon achieving certain future development and regulatory milestones by June 30, 2014 and (iii) additional consideration contingent upon acquired products exceeding certain revenue thresholds in each of 2013, 2014 and 2015. Of the approximately $8.1 million that was deposited in escrow as security for potential indemnity claims and certain other expressly enumerated matters, approximately $7.9 million remains in escrow as of June 30, 2013. Additionally, up to 30% of the milestone payments are subject to certain set-off rights of the Company for indemnification claims under the acquisition agreement. The Company's acquisition of GenturaDx was funded with cash on hand.
