LUMINEX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Luminex Corporation (the “Company” or “Luminex”) in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     The acquisition of Tm Bioscience Corporation, or Tm, now known as Luminex Molecular Diagnostics or LMD, was completed on March 1, 2007; therefore, the results of operations of LMD in our consolidated financial statements include only results since this date.
     Historically the Company has operated as a single segment. Subsequent to the acquisition of LMD, we now have two segments for financial reporting purposes: the Technology Segment and the Assay Segment. See Note 7 – Segment Information.
NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Acquisitions
     On March 1, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Tm, a DNA-based research and diagnostics company headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The acquired company is referred to as LMD and is included in our Assay Segment for financial reporting purposes. The focus of LMD is to design, develop, manufacture and commercialize nucleic-acid based testing products in genetic testing, personalized medicine and infectious disease.
     Upon the closing of the plan of arrangement, we exchanged 0.06 Luminex common shares for each outstanding Tm share, which resulted in the issuance of approximately 3.2 million shares of Luminex common stock. The value of the approximately 3.2 million common shares issued was determined based on the average market price of our common shares over the period including five days before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). We also agreed to assume all outstanding Tm options and warrants according to the applicable Tm plan provisions, which options and warrants are potentially exercisable for approximately 692,000 additional shares of Luminex common stock on an as-converted basis. The estimated fair value of Luminex’ replacement options and warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes model. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-based Payments (“SFAS 123R”), the portion of the estimated fair value of unvested Tm options related to future service (approximately $242,000) is deducted from the purchase price consideration and will be recognized as compensation expense over those awards’ remaining vesting period.
     Immediately subsequent to the acquisition, we retired approximately $13.2 million of Tm debt, including an approximately $1.0 million related contractual penalty, by using existing cash reserves. Under the terms of one of the retired debt instruments, the balance of the note became callable upon the acquisition and was subject to a contractual penalty if either called by the debt holder or prepaid by Tm. The penalty was triggered when the Tm shareholders ratified the acquisition of Tm by Luminex on February 21, 2007. The penalty was recorded by Tm prior to Luminex’ acquisition based on the penalty amount agreed by the debt holder, and was reflected in the

opening balance of “Other current liabilities assumed.” The impact of the acquisition on our liquidity is more fully described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
     The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with SFAS 141 and LMD results of operations are included with the Company’s from the date of acquisition, March 1, 2007. The purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $47.7 million, including common stock valued at $41.8 million, which will be adjusted for the valuation of certain conversions of Tm options and warrants and final transaction-related costs. All transaction costs incurred to-date have been recorded. Additional transaction costs will be recorded as incurred and will primarily consist of fees related to our on-going evaluation of the fair market value of Tm’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired and legal fees related to the finalization of the transaction of approximately $250,000. The purchase price will be allocated to the net assets acquired based on estimates of the fair values at the date of the acquisition.
     Luminex is in the process of allocating fair values for certain intangible assets and in-process research and development (IPR&D) identified during the acquisition. The excess purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets, identified intangible assets and liabilities will be allocated to goodwill. Luminex currently has $34.1 million of goodwill recorded related to the Tm acquisition. Goodwill was adjusted in the second quarter of 2007 to allocate the estimated fair value of intangibles and IPR&D identified as part of the acquisition. See “Purchased Intangible Assets” set forth below in this note. This balance is subject to further adjustment as Luminex completes certain standard activities around the transaction such as: 1) recording of final transaction related costs and 2) allocation of the purchase price based on our final determination of the fair market value of Tm’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. These activities should be complete in the third quarter of 2007. As required by SFAS 142, the Company will begin testing of this goodwill balance on an annual basis and on an interim basis if circumstances indicate that necessity. No assurances can be given as to the size of any subsequent goodwill adjustment, if any, at this time. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
     The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of net assets at the date of acquisition (in thousands). Tangible assets and liabilities are currently recorded at the historical book value on the books of Tm which is expected to approximate fair value pending our final analysis of these values. Intangible assets are currently recorded at their estimated fair market value pending final analysis of these values. The intangible assets being evaluated are: trade name (Tag-It), customer list/contracts, technology/trade secrets, and in-process research and development needing to be expensed per SFAS 141. IPR&D has been recorded at its estimated fair market value and charged to expense in the current period. The value allocated to intangible assets and IPR&D is subject to potentially significant adjustments as the Company finalizes its determination of these fair market values. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of LMD is expected to change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.

The discounted cash flows were estimated based on relevant market size and growth factors, expected industry trends, individual product sales cycles, the estimated life of each product’s underlying technology, historical pricing, costs to complete the projects, costs of production, R&D costs required to maintain the products once they have been introduced into the market and related selling and marketing costs. The discount rates used to discount the projected net returns were based on a weighted average cost of capital relative to the Company and the bio-technology industry, as well as the product-specific risk associated with the IPR&D projects. Product-specific risk includes the stage of completion of each product, the complexity of the development work completed to date, the likelihood of achieving technological feasibility, and market acceptance. The forecast data employed in the analyses for IPR&D was based upon both forecast information maintained by the acquired companies and Luminex Corporation’s estimate of future performance of the business. The inputs used by the Company in assessing the value of IPR&D were based upon assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. These assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and no assurance can be given that unanticipated events and circumstances will not occur. Accordingly, actual results may vary from the forecasted results. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of the acquired in-process projects consist of the ability to confirm the safety and efficacy of the technology based on the data from clinical trials and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals. No assurance can be given that the underlying assumptions used to forecast cash flows or the timely and successful completion of the projects will materialize as estimated. For these reasons, among others, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
     In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company recorded an IPR&D expense of $8.0 million for acquired IPR&D which was not technologically feasible as of the acquisition date and, other than its intended use, had no alternative future use. IPR&D was charged to net proft (loss) during the period ended June 30, 2007. The value allocated to IPR&D is subject to potentially significant adjustments as the Company finalizes its determination of this fair market value.

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     The Company assumed the Tm Bioscience Corporation Share Option Plan (the “Tm Plan”) a stock-based employee compensation plan in connection with the Tm acquisition. The Tm Plan governs the former Tm options which were exchanged for options to purchase shares of Luminex common stock in connection with the acquisition. The Tm Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Luminex. There are currently options to purchase up to approximately 100,000 shares of Luminex common stock outstanding under the Tm Plan at a weighted average exercise price of $23.94 per share expiring on or before October 2011. No new equity awards may be issued under the Tm Plan.
     Also in connection with the Tm acquisition, warrants for the purchase of Tm common stock were converted to the right to acquire shares of Luminex common stock. There are currently outstanding warrants to purchase up to approximately 458,000 shares of Luminex common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $20.64 per share expiring on or before November 2011.
     On March 25, 2007, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the restricted stock agreement, dated May 17, 2004 (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”), of Mr. Balthrop. The Company and Mr. Balthrop initially entered into the Restricted Stock Agreement in connection with the hiring of Mr. Balthrop as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Restricted Stock Agreement provided for the grant of 200,000 restricted shares, which would vest in portions based on the attainment of certain performance goals related to Company revenue, earnings and stock price. If the goals provided for in the Restricted Stock Agreement were not achieved by the end of the fifth anniversary of the date of the Restricted Stock Agreement, all non-vested shares would be forfeited. The amendment provides for the automatic vesting of all unvested restricted shares immediately prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of the Restricted Stock Agreement, to the extent any or all of the performance measures have not been previously achieved. Mr. Balthrop’s 200,000 share restricted stock award, as amended, has market, service or performance criteria for vesting of all shares. We have assumed that vesting will occur at the end

of the five years based on achievement of the service criteria so all expense is being amortized straight-line over the five-year period from May 17, 2004 through 2009. Pursuant to the amendment to this award, the award was revalued to the market price on the date of amendment of $14.39. This resulted in additional expense to the Company of approximately $356,000 of which approximately $205,000 was recognized in the first quarter of 2007 and approximately $151,000 of which will be recognized pro-rata over the remaining term of the award.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
     The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) at the beginning of fiscal year 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.
     The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes. The Company has not recognized any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions to date.
     The tax years 2002 through 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
     Income taxes decreased by approximately $125,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of Texas HB 3928, effective June 15, 2007, which required the Company to recognize changes in deferred tax assets related to a computational change of the temporary credit.
NOTE 9 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on our consolidated financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses related to these financial instruments reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part I Item 1 of this Report, the “Risk Factors” referenced in Part II Item 1A of this Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
SAFE HARBOR CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are forward-looking statements as defined within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations of forecasts of future events. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “projects,” “will,” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our current plans and actual future activities, and our results of operations may be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including, among other things:
    risks and uncertainties relating to market demand and acceptance of our products and technology,
 
    dependence on strategic partners for development, commercialization and distribution of products,
 
    concentration of the Company’s revenue in a limited number of strategic partners,
 
    fluctuations in quarterly results due to a lengthy and unpredictable sales cycle and bulk purchases of consumables,
 
    our ability to scale manufacturing operations and manage operating expenses, gross margins and inventory levels,
 
    potential shortages of components,
 
    competition,
 
    the timing of regulatory approvals,
 
    the implementation, including any modification, of the Company’s strategic operating plans,
 
    risks and uncertainties associated with implementing our acquisition strategy and the ability to integrate acquired companies, including LMD, or selected assets into our consolidated business operations, including the ability to recognize the benefits of our acquisitions,
 
    our ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize products within our Assay Segment, and
 
    the current status of the credit market could effect our ability to obtain debt or equity funds on favorable terms, if at all.
     Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may turn out to be inaccurate. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the risks, uncertainties and assumptions outlined above and referenced in the section titled “Risk Factors” below. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. When you consider these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risk factors and other cautionary statements in this report.
     Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this report. Unless the context requires

OVERVIEW
     We develop, manufacture and sell proprietary biological testing technologies with applications throughout the life sciences industry. Our xMAP® technology, an open architecture, multiplexing technology, allows simultaneous analysis of up to 100 bioassays from a small sample volume, typically a single drop of fluid, by reading biological tests on the surface of microscopic polystyrene beads called microspheres. xMAP technology combines this miniaturized liquid array bioassay capability with small lasers, digital signal processors and proprietary software to create a system offering advantages in speed, precision, flexibility and cost. Our xMAP technology is currently being used within various segments of the life sciences industry which includes the fields of drug discovery and development, clinical diagnostics, genetic analysis, bio-defense, protein analysis and biomedical research.
     Our end-user customers and partners, which include laboratory professionals performing research, clinical laboratories performing tests on patients as ordered by a physician and other laboratories, have a fundamental need to perform high quality testing as efficiently as possible. Luminex has adopted a business model built around strategic partnerships. We have licensed our xMAP technology to other companies, who then develop products that incorporate the xMAP technology into products that they sell to the end-user. Luminex develops and manufactures the proprietary xMAP laboratory instrumentation and the proprietary xMAP microspheres and sells these products to our partners. Our partners then sell xMAP instrumentation and xMAP-based reagent consumable products, which run on the instrumentation, to the end-user laboratory. Luminex was founded on this model, and our success to date has been due to this model. As of June 30, 2007, Luminex had over 50 strategic partners, 31 of which have released commercialized reagent-based products using our technology, and these partners have sold and placed over 4,500 xMAP-based instruments in laboratories worldwide.
     Luminex has several forms of revenue that result from this partner model:
    System revenue is generated from the sale of our xMap systems and peripherals. Currently, system revenue is derived from the sale of the Luminex 100 and 200 analyzers, often coupled with an optional XY Platform and/or Sheath Delivery System. We currently expect the average system price to be between $25,000 and $30,000 in a given reporting period. This metric includes all configurations of our xMAP systems including refurbished systems, demonstration systems and modular components.
 
    Consumable revenue is generated from the sale of our dyed polystyrene microspheres and sheath fluid. Our larger commercial and development partners often purchase these consumables in bulk to minimize the number of incoming qualification events and to allow for longer development and production runs.
 
    Royalty revenue is generated when a partner sells a kit incorporating our proprietary microspheres to an end user or when a partner utilizes a kit to provide a testing result to a user. End users can be facilities such as testing labs, development facilities and research facilities who buy prepared kits and have specific testing needs or testing service companies that provide assay results to pharmaceutical research companies or physicians.
 
    Service revenue is generated when a partner or other owner of a system purchases a service contract from us after the warranty has expired. Service contract revenue is amortized over the life of the contract and the costs associated with those contracts are recognized as incurred.
 
    Assay revenue is generated from the sale of our kits which is a combination of chemical and biological reagents and our proprietary bead technology used to perform diagnostic and research assays on samples. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, assay revenue includes revenue since March 1, 2007 from Luminex Molecular Diagnostics, or LMD, formerly Tm Bioscience Corporation, as a result of our acquisition which was effective March 1, 2007. Assay revenue generated from the Luminex Bioscience Group, or LBG, is also classified here. Previously, assay revenue generated from the LBG was recorded in other revenue as it did not constitute a material amount of total revenue.
 
    Other revenue consists of items such as training, shipping, parts sales, license revenue, grant revenue, contract research and development fees and milestone revenue and other items that individually amount to less than 5% of total revenue.

Acquisition of TM Bioscience
     As previously discussed in Note 2 – Business Combinations, on March 1, 2007, we completed our acquisition of Tm Bioscience Corporation. The acquired company, now referred to as LMD, is a DNA-based research and diagnostics company located in Toronto, Canada. In connection with closing the acquisition, we paid off $13.2 million of Tm Bioscience’s debt, related fees and paid transactions expenses of approximately $5.0 million (including $2.9 million of transaction costs included as part of the purchase price and $2.1 million of LMD transaction costs incurred prior to March 1, 2007). Primarily as a result of this transaction, our cash, cash equivalents and investments have been reduced by approximately $25.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. To support our cash and investments position, the Company secured a revolving credit facility for up to $15.0 in conjunction with the Tm Bioscience acquisition, which, as of June 30, 2007 and subject to the borrowing base requirements, would allow for borrowings of up to approximately $10.1 million.
Segment Information
     As described in Note 7 – Segment Information, management has chosen to organize the Company by business segments, and as a result has determined we have two segments for financial reporting purposes: the Technology Segment and the Assay Segment.
Future Operations
     We expect continued revenue growth for 2007 to be driven by sustained adoption of our core technology coupled with assay introduction and commercialization by the Assay Segment. The anticipated continued shift in revenue concentration towards higher margin items, such as assays, consumables and royalties, should provide favorable gross margins. Additionally, we believe that a sustained investment into R&D is necessary in order to meet the needs of our marketplace and estimate that spending on R&D for the full year of 2007 will approximate 20% of total revenues.
     We expect our primary challenges throughout the remainder of 2007 to be increased traction of partner products incorporating Luminex technology, realizing the anticipated synergies of the Tm Bioscience acquisition and associated integration risks, commercialization and market adoption of output from the Assay Segment and expanding our footprint and reputation within our identified target market segments.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, 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. Estimates and

15


Table of Contents

assumptions are reviewed periodically. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     Revenue Recognition. Revenue on sales of our products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectibility is probable. Generally, these criteria are met at the time our product is shipped. If the criteria for revenue recognition are not met at the time of shipment, the revenue is deferred until all criteria are met. Royalty revenue is generated when a partner sells products incorporating our technology, provides testing services to third parties using our technology or resells our consumables. Royalty revenue is recognized as it is reported to us by our partners; therefore, the underlying end-user sales may be related to prior periods. We also sell extended service contracts for maintenance and support of our products. Revenue for service contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.
     Total deferred revenue as of June 30, 2007 was $6.6 million and primarily consisted of (i) unamortized license fees for non-exclusive licenses and patent rights to certain Luminex technologies in the amount of $3.8 million, (ii) unamortized revenue related to extended service contracts in the amount of $2.1 million, and (iii) upfront payments from strategic partners to be used for the purchase of products or to be applied towards future royalty payments in the amount of $548,000. Upfront payments from our strategic partners are nonrefundable and will be recognized as revenue as our strategic partners purchase products or apply such amounts against royalty payments. Nonrefundable license fees are amortized into revenue over the estimated life of the license agreements.
     Inventory Valuation. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value and have been reduced by an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories. At June 30, 2007, the two major components of the allowance for excess and obsolete inventory were (i) a specific reserve for inventory items that we no longer use in the manufacture of our products or that no longer meet our specifications and (ii) a reserve against slow moving items for potential obsolescence. The total estimated allowance is reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted based on management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales. While management believes that adequate write-downs for inventory obsolescence have been made in the consolidated financial statements, scientific and technological advances will continue and the Company could experience additional inventory write-downs in the future. However, the Company does not believe this estimate is subject to significant variability.
     Warranties. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. However, the Company does not believe this estimate is subject to significant variability.
     Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain allowances for doubtful accounts based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses historically have been within our expectations, there can be no assurance that we will continue to experience the same level of credit losses that we have in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of our significant customers, or a deterioration in the economic environment, in general, could have a material adverse impact on the collectibility of our accounts receivable and our future operating results, including a reduction in future revenues and additional allowances for doubtful accounts. However, the Company does not believe this estimate is subject to significant variability.
     Purchase Price Allocation and Goodwill. The purchase price allocation for acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, including in-process research and development (IPR&D), and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values.
     On March 1, 2007, we acquired Tm Bioscience Corp. or Tm, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $47.7 million, net of cash acquired. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. We are in the

process of determining the estimated fair values of IPR&D, identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets. Such a valuation requires significant estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to, determining the timing and estimated costs to complete the in-process projects, projecting regulatory approvals, estimating future cash flows, and developing appropriate discount rates. We believe the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions. However, the fair value estimates for the purchase price allocations may change during the allowable allocation period, if additional information becomes available.
     We evaluate the impairment of goodwill under the guidance of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for each of our reporting units. During the first quarter of 2007, we established our initial goodwill balance related to our acquisition of LMD. The Company will begin testing of this goodwill balance on an annual basis and on an interim basis if circumstances indicate that necessity.
     Intangible assets acquired are amortized over the assets’ estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets, taking into consideration any events or circumstances that might result in a diminished fair value or revised useful life.
     IPR&D represents the value, on closing of a business combination, of acquired research and development projects which were not technologically feasible as of the acquisition date and had no alternative future use. Projects that were deemed not technologically feasible was charged to net profit (loss) during the period ended June 30, 2007 as IPR&D expenses.

     Total revenue increased 32% to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $13.3 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the Assay Segment including the acquisition of LMD which contributed $3.5 million of the overall increase. Operating expenses increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of LMD which contributed $12.6 million of the increase. This $12.6 million includes an $8.0 million write-off of in-process research and development, see “Note 2 – Business Combinations” for more information. The Technology Segment contributed $1.9 million of the increase in operating expenses which was primarily attributable to increased headcount. Net operating income decreased due to the dilutive effect of the LMD acquisition. See additional discussions by segment below.
     We manage our operations through two business segments: the Technology Segment and the Assay Segment.

     Revenue. Total revenue increased 2% to $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $13.3 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in service and consumables revenues as well as continued acceptance and utilization of our technology in the marketplace as evidenced by our continued increase in royalty revenue. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in system sales. As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we continue to experience revenue concentration in a limited number of strategic partners. Three customers accounted for 45% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2007 (23%, 12%, and 10% respectively). For comparative purposes, these same three customers accounted for 41% of total revenue (20%, 12% and 10%, respectively) in the second quarter of 2006. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue in this quarter.
     A breakdown of revenue in the Technology Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows (in thousands):

     System and peripheral component sales decreased 7% to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.8 million for the comparable period of 2006. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in average system price attributable to partner mix for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006 and to a lesser extent a decrease in the number of units sold. System sales for the second quarter of 2007 decreased to 200 LX Systems from 206 (205 LX Systems 1 HTS) for the corresponding prior year period bringing total system sales since inception to over 4,500 as of June 30, 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, four of our partners accounted for 165, or 81%, of total system sales for the period. These four partners purchased 145, or 70%, of total system sales in the three months ended June 30, 2006.
     Consumable sales comprised of microspheres and sheath fluid, increased 8% to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in bulk purchases. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we had nine bulk purchases totaling approximately $2.1 million as compared with six bulk purchases totaling approximately $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006. A bulk purchase is defined as the purchase of $100,000 or more of consumables in a quarter. Partners who reported royalty bearing sales accounted for $2.5 million, or 75%, of total consumable sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
     Royalty revenue increased 10% to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we had 31 commercial partners submitting royalties as compared to 27 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. One of our partners reported royalties totaling approximately $738,000, or 33% of total royalties for the current quarter. Two other customers reported royalties totaling approximately $575,000, or 26% (14% and 13%, respectively) of total royalties for the current quarter. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total royalty revenue for the current

quarter. Total royalty bearing sales were over $36 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and over $146 million on an annualized basis, compared with over $32 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and over $125 million on an annualized basis.
     Service contracts comprised of extended warranty contracts earned ratably over the term of the agreement, increased 34% to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2007 from $811,000 for the second quarter of 2006. This increase is attributable to increased sales of extended service agreements, which are primarily a result of the increase in the commercial base of Luminex systems as compared to the prior year period. At June 30, 2007, we had 804 Luminex systems covered under extended service agreements and $2.1 million in deferred revenue related to those contracts. At June 30, 2006, we had 676 Luminex systems covered under extended service agreements and $1.8 million in deferred revenue related to those contracts.
     Other revenues, comprised of training revenue, shipping revenue, miscellaneous parts sales, amortized license fees, and grant revenue, decreased slightly for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from the three months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in miscellaneous part sales and a milestone payment of $300,000 received in the three months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was offset by the addition of grant revenue. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we had $543,000 of parts sales, $605,000 of grant revenue, $129,000 of shipping revenue, $133,000 of license revenue and $156,000 of other revenue.
     Gross profit. The gross margin rate (gross profit as a percentage of total revenue) decreased slightly to 57% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 58% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Gross profit was flat at $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in gross margin rate was primarily attributable to the elimination of intercompany sales. A total of $1.3 million of intercompany sales were eliminated from technology group sales in the current quarter. Consumables and royalties comprised $5.5 million, or 41%, of revenue for the current quarter and $5.1 million, or 38%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. We anticipate continued fluctuation in gross margin rate and related gross profit primarily as a result of variability in partner bulk purchases and absolute number of sales of quarterly system sales.
     Operating expenses. Research and development expenses increased to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.5 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase was primarily related to additional personnel costs associated with the increase in employees to 59 at June 30, 2007 from 51 at June 30, 2006. The increase in the number of employees has allowed us to increase our focus on development of our system, consumable and software products and the expansion of applications for use on our platforms.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.9 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase was primarily related to additional personnel costs associated with the increase in employees to 75 at June 30, 2007 from 64 at June 30, 2006 and an increase in stock compensation expense attributable to additional issuances.

     Revenue. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were derived from LMD and LBG and from LBG only for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Assay revenue consists primarily of kits, of which the majority relate to our Cystic Fibrosis products. System sales during the second quarter of 2007 in the Assay Segment were four LX Systems. Other revenue includes contract research and development fees and milestone revenue. Two customers accounted for 47% of revenue for the second quarter of 2007 (37% and 10%, respectively). No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue in this quarter.
     Operating Expenses. Research and development expenses were $1.7 million and $271,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in research and development can be primarily attributed to the addition of the acquisition of LMD and to a lesser extent increased activity by the LBG primarily as a result of increased activity related to product development. LMD contributed approximately 76% of all research and development expenses. The LBG division contributed the remaining 24%. The LBG division research and development expenses increased 51% to $409,000.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.3 million and $246,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses can be primarily attributed to the addition of the acquisition of LMD. LMD contributed approximately 93% of all selling, general and administrative expenses. The LBG division contributed the remaining 7%.
     In-process research and development of $8.0 million was written-off during the quarter ended June 30, 2007. See “Note 2 – Business Combinations” for more information.

     System and peripheral component sales increased 13% to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $9.8 million for the comparable period of 2006. System sales for the first half of 2007 increased to 404 LX Systems from 348 LX Systems for the corresponding prior year period bringing total system sales since inception to over 4,500 as of June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, four of our partners accounted for 309, or 75%, of total system sales for the period. These four partners purchased 237, or 68%, of total system sales in the six months ended June 30, 2006.
     Consumable sales comprised of microspheres and sheath fluid, decreased 5% to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $8.5 million for the comparable period of 2006. The decrease is primarily the result of the elimination of intercompany sales to LMD, and to a lesser extent, a decrease in bulk purchases versus the prior year period which included a $2.8 million bulk purchase by a single customer. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had 20 bulk purchases of consumables totaling approximately $5.5 million as compared with 14 bulk

purchases totaling approximately $6.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Partners who reported royalty bearing sales accounted for $6.6 million, or 81%, of total consumable sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As the number of applications available on our platform expands, we anticipate that the overall level of consumable sales, and related bulk purchases, will continue to fluctuate.
     Royalty revenue increased 25% to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. We believe this increase is primarily the result of the increased use and acceptance of our technology. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had 31 commercial partners submitting royalties as compared to 27 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. One of our partners reported royalties totaling approximately $1.5 million, or 31% of total royalties for the period. Three other customers reported royalties totaling approximately $1.6 million or 33% (12%, 11% and 10%, respectively) of total royalties for the six months ended 2007. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total royalty revenue for the current period. Total royalty bearing sales by our partners were over $78 million for the first half of 2007 and over $156 million on an annualized basis, compared with over $58 million for the first half of 2006 and over $129 million on an annualized basis.
     Service contracts, comprised of extended warranty contracts earned ratably over the term of the agreement, increased 29% to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is attributable to increased sales of extended service agreements, which are primarily a result of the increase in the commercial base of Luminex systems as compared to the prior year period.
     Other revenues, comprised of training revenue, shipping revenue, miscellaneous parts sales, amortized license fees, and grant revenue, increased 18% to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily the result of the addition of grant revenue. This increase was offset slightly by a milestone payment of $300,000 received in the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had $1.4 million of parts sales, $802,000 of grant revenue, $286,000 of shipping revenue, $266,000 of license revenue and $231,000 of other revenue.
     Gross profit. The gross margin rate (gross profit as a percentage of total revenue) decreased slightly to 60% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 61% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Gross profit, in dollar amount, increased to $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in gross margin rate was primarily attributable to the elimination of intercompany sales to LMD. The increase in gross profit, in dollar amount, was primarily attributable to the overall increase in revenue coupled with only a slight decrease in gross margin. Consumables and royalties comprised $12.9 million, or 44%, of revenue for the first half of 2007 and $12.3 million, or 47%, for the first half ended June 30, 2006. We anticipate continued fluctuation in gross margin rate and related gross profit primarily as a result of variability in partner bulk purchases and absolute number of sales of quarterly system sales.
     Operating expenses. Research and development expenses increased to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.4 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase was primarily related to additional personnel costs associated with the increase in employees to 59 at June 30, 2007 from 51 at June 30, 2006. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in costs related to direct materials and consumables utilized in the research and development process. The increase in the number of employees has allowed us to increase our focus on development of our system, consumable and software products and the expansion of applications for use on our platforms.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $11.7 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase was primarily related to additional personnel costs associated with the increase in employees to 75 at June 30, 2007 from 64 at June 30, 2006, and to a lesser extent, an increase in stock compensation expense attributable to additional issuances of equity subsequent to the second quarter of 2006.

     Revenue. Revenues were derived from LBG for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and from LMD for the current year from March 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007. Assay revenue consists primarily of kits of which the majority related to our Cystic Fibrosis products. System sales during the six months ended 2007 in the Assay Segment were five LX Systems. Other revenue includes contract research and development fees and milestone revenue. Two customers accounted for 52% of total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2007 (38% and 14%, respectively).
     Operating Expenses. Research and development expenses were $2.4 million and $604,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in research and development can be primarily attributed to the addition of the acquisition of LMD. LMD contributed approximately 70% of all research and development expenses. The LBG division contributed the remaining 30%. The LBG division research and development expenses increased 16% to $703,000 primarily as a result of increased activity related to product development.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.8 million and $348,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As previously discussed, the expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 include expenses related to LBG for the entire six months and expenses related to LMD from March 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 only. The overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the addition of the LMD division and to a lesser extent increased activity by the LBG. The LMD contributed $4.3 million of selling, general and administrative expenses, or 90%. The LBG division contributed the remaining 10%. The LBG division selling, general and administrative expenses increased 40% to $488,000 primarily as a result of increased headcount.
     In-process research and development of $8.0 million was written-off during the current period. See “Note 2 – Business Combinations” for more information.

     At June 30, 2007, we held cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments of $20.5 million and had working capital of $20.8 million. At December 31, 2006, we held cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments of $45.7 million and had working capital of $44.2 million. In connection with closing the Tm Bioscience acquisition, we paid off $13.2 million of Tm Bioscience’s debt, related fees and paid transactions expenses of approximately $5.0 million (including $2.9 million of transaction costs included as part of the purchase price and $2.1 million of LMD transaction costs incurred prior to March 1, 2007). Primarily as a result of this transaction, our cash, cash equivalents and investments were reduced by approximately $25.3 million through June 30, 2007.
     We have funded our operations to date primarily through the issuance of equity securities. Our cash reserves are held directly or indirectly in a variety of short-term and long-term, interest-bearing instruments, including obligations of the United States government or agencies thereof and U.S. corporate debt securities.
     Cash used in operations was $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with cash provided by operations of $110,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
     Our operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $33.4 million, of which $6.6 million was research and development expense, $18.8 million was selling, general and administrative expense and $8.0 was an in-process research and development write-off. We expect research and development expenses to be between 20% and 22% of total revenue for the remainder of 2007. Our increase in research and development expenses for 2007 relative to 2006 is a result of our continued investment in the research and development pipeline to support our content strategy, expanded focus on product development, and expenses related to the acquisition of LMD and increased activity in LBG. Our increase in selling, general and administrative expenses over those of 2006 is primarily attributable to the addition of LMD. We believe that the dilutive effect of the LMD acquisition and the related use of our cash revenues is short term in nature and that the company will return to profitability and positive cash flow by early 2008.
     Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including our success in developing and expanding markets for our products, payments under possible future strategic arrangements, continued progress of our research and development of potential products, the timing and outcome of regulatory approvals, the need to acquire licenses to new technology, costs associated with strategic acquisitions including integration costs and assumed liabilities, the status of competitive products and potential cost associated with both protecting and defending our intellectual property. Additionally, actions taken based on recommendations of our strategic consulting study or the ongoing internal evaluation of our business could result in expenditures not currently contemplated in our estimates for 2007. We believe, however, that our existing cash and cash equivalents together with availability under our new credit facility as described below are sufficient to fund our operating expenses, capital equipment requirements and other expected liquidity requirements for the next 12 months. Based upon our current operating plan and structure, management anticipates total cash use for the next 12 months to be no more than $5 million, giving us an anticipated balance in cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments at June 30, 2008 of $15 million to $20 million. Factors that could affect this estimate, in addition to those listed above, include: (i) continued collections of accounts receivable consistent with our historical experience, (ii) our ability to manage our inventory levels consistent with past practices, (iii) settlement of other accrued liabilities, (iv) signing of partnership agreements which include significant up front license fees, and (v) unanticipated costs associated with, and the negative operating cash flows resulting from, the LMD acquisition. See also the “Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement” of this report and the Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     On March 1, 2007, the Company entered into a senior revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which provides borrowings of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding of $15.0 million based on availability under a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts and inventory. The obligations under the senior revolving credit facility are guaranteed by the wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company and secured by all of the accounts, equipment inventory and general intangibles (excluding intellectual property) of the Company and the guarantors including the pledge of an intercompany note from Tm Bioscience and payable to the Company. Loans under the senior credit facility accrue interest on the basis of either a base rate or a LIBOR rate. The base rate is calculated daily and is the greater of (i) prime minus 1.00% and (ii) federal funds rate plus .50%. Borrowings at the LIBOR rate are based on one, two or three month periods and interest is calculated by taking the sum of (i) the

Table of Contents

product of LIBOR for such period and statutory reserves plus (ii) 1.75%. We pay a fee of 0.125% per annum on the unfunded portion of the lender’s aggregate commitment under the facility. Approximately $10.1 million is available for borrowing at June 30, 2007.
     The senior credit facility contains conditions to making loans, representations, warranties and covenants, including financial covenants customary for a transaction of this type. Financial covenants include (i) a tangible net worth covenant of $45.0 million prior to the acquisition Tm Bioscience and $25.0 million following the acquisition and (ii) a liquidity requirement of availability not less than the funded debt of the Company and its subsidiaries (including Tm Bioscience) calculated using the unencumbered cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of the Company and the guarantors. The senior credit facility also contains customary events of default as well as restrictions on undertaking certain specified corporate actions, including, among others, asset dispositions, acquisitions and other investments, dividends, fundamental corporate changes such as mergers and consolidations, incurrence of additional indebtedness, creation of liens and negative pledges, transactions with affiliates and agreements as to certain subsidiary restrictions and the creation of additional subsidiaries. If an event of default occurs that is not otherwise waived or cured, the lender may terminate its obligations to make loans under the senior credit facility and may declare the loans then outstanding under the senior credit facility to be due and payable. We believe we are currently in compliance with our financial and other covenants under the senior credit facility. As of June 30, 2007, no amounts were outstanding under the senior revolving credit facility.
     To the extent capital resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, we will have to raise additional funds to continue the development and deployment of our technologies. There can be no assurance that debt or equity funds will be available on favorable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. Moreover, incurring debt financing (under our new credit facility or otherwise) could result in a substantial portion of our operating cash flow being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, could render us more vulnerable to competitive pressures and economic downturns and could impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds through entering into agreements on unattractive terms.
Contractual Obligations
     We currently have approximately $6.0 million in non-cancelable obligations for the next 12 months. These obligations are included in our estimated cash usage described above.

(1)   Purchase obligations include contractual arrangements in the form of purchase orders primarily a result of normal inventory purchases or minimum payments due resulting when minimum purchase commitments are not met. Purchase obligations relating to purchase orders do not extend beyond a year; however, we would expect future years to have these purchase commitments that will arise in the ordinary course of business and will generally increase or decrease according to fluctuations in overall sales volume.

(2)   On December 12, 2003, LMD entered into an agreement with the Ministry of Industry of the Government of Canada under which the Government agreed to invest up to Canadian (‘Cdn.”) $7,300,000 relating to the development of several genetic tests. Funds were advanced from Technology Partnerships Canada (“TPC”), a special operating program. The actual payments received by the Company were predicated on eligible expenditures made during the project period which ended July 31, 2006. LMD has received Cdn. $5,739,000 from TPC which is expected to be repaid along with approximately Cdn. $1,577,000 of imputed interest for a total of approximately Cdn. $7,316,000.
LMD has agreed to repay the TPC funding through a royalty on specific assay revenue related to the funded product development. Royalty payments commence in 2007 at a rate of 1% of assay revenue and at a rate of 2.5% for 2008 and thereafter. Aggregate royalty repayment will continue until total advances plus imputed interest has been repaid or until April 30, 2015, whichever is earlier. The repayment obligation expires on April 30, 2015 and any unpaid balance will be cancelled and forgiven on that date. Repayments denominated in U.S. Dollars are currently projected to be as shown in the table above, but actual future sales generating a repayment obligation will vary from this projection and are subject to the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this report, including under “Risk Factors” and “Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement.” Furthermore, payment reflected in U.S. Dollars is subject to adjustment based upon applicable exchange rates as of the reporting date.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     Interest Rate Risk. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of domestic interest rates, particularly since our investments are in short-term and long-term instruments held to maturity. A 50 basis point fluctuation from average investment returns at June 30, 2007 would yield an approximate 10% variance in overall investment return. Due to the nature of our investments, we have concluded that there is no material market risk exposure.
     Our revolving credit facility also will be affected by fluctuations in interest rates as it is based on prime minus 1% or the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect plus 0.50%. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has not drawn on this facility.
     Foreign Exchange Risk. As of June 30, 2007, as a result of our foreign operations, we have costs, assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Canadian dollars and to a lesser extent the Euro. For example, some fixed asset purchases and certain expenses of our Canadian subsidiary, LMD, are denominated in Canadian dollars while sales of products are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. All transactions in our Netherlands subsidiary are denominated in Euros. As a consequence, movements in exchange rates could cause our foreign currency denominated expenses to fluctuate as a percentage of net revenue, affecting our profitability and cash flows.
     In addition, the indirect effect of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations. For example, currency exchange rate fluctuations could affect international demand for our products. In addition, interest rates fluctuations could affect our customers’ buying patterns. Furthermore, interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations may broadly influence the United States and foreign economies resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As a result, we cannot give any assurance as to the effect that future changes in foreign currency rates will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, foreign currency fluctuations did not have a material effect on our consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure

26


Table of Contents

controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our senior management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report our disclosure controls and procedures effectively and timely provide them with material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act.
     Due to the acquisition of LMD, we were required to implement processes and controls over transactions related to those operations. As of June 30, 2007, we have not tested the operating effectiveness of the internal controls related to the integration of LMD. In compliance with PCAOB regulations, evaluation of LMD controls under Sarbanes-Oxley are not required until the fourth quarter of 2008.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     Other than stated above, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our existing internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     On April 26, 2005, the Company was served with a complaint, filed by Rules Based Medicine, Inc. (“RBM”) in state district court in Travis County, Texas seeking a declaratory judgment that the formation of HealthMAP Laboratories, Inc. (subsequently renamed the Biophysical Corporation) did not constitute a usurpation of an RBM corporate opportunity and that RBM has the necessary contractual license rights under its existing agreement with the Company to perform certain testing services on behalf of BioPhysical Corporation. On May 19, 2005, we filed an answer to this complaint denying all claims brought by RBM. On June 21, 2005, the parties entered into an agreement, which was subsequently entered with the court on June 22, 2005. Pursuant to this agreement, the parties agreed that RBM would not file any claims related to this matter against the Company until August 1, 2005, and that the Company would not file any claims related to this matter against RBM until August 16, 2005, in order to continue to pursue settlement negotiations. The parties were unable to reach agreement on the terms of settlement. RBM re-filed a lawsuit against us on August 12, 2005, seeking a declaratory judgment against the Company as set forth above. In response, we filed an answer and counterclaims against RBM, as well as new claims against Mark Chandler and Craig Benson, officers of RBM, on August 19, 2005. The parties continued with discovery until late January 2007, at which point settlement discussions began. A confidential settlement agreement has been entered into, the terms of which are subject to certain conditions. If all conditions called for are met, this matter will be formally dismissed in October of 2007. Currently the parties anticipate that the matter will be abated at that time.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
     Reference is made to the factors set forth under the caption “Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement” in Part I Item 2 of this report and other risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which are incorporated herein by reference.
