NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Myriad Genetics, Inc. (the Company) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Myriad Genetics Laboratories, Inc. and Myriad Therapeutics, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly all financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2010 may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2) | Marketable Investment Securities |
The Company has classified its marketable investment securities as available-for-sale. These securities are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity until realized. Gains and losses on investment security transactions are reported on the specific-identification method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses, and fair value for available-for-sale securities by major security type and class of security at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 were as follows (in thousands):

(3) | Share-Based Compensation |
In 2003, the Company adopted and the shareholders approved the 2003 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan, as amended most recently in November 2009 (the 2003 Plan), under which 18.8 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options that the Company grants from time to time. Additional shares represented by options previously granted under the Companys 2002 Amended and Restated Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the 2002 Plan) which are canceled or expire after the date of stockholder approval of the 2003 Plan without delivery of shares of stock by the Company and any shares which were reserved but not granted under the 2002 Plan as of the date of stockholder approval of the 2003 Plan are available for grant under the 2003 Plan. As of September 30, 2010, approximately 2.0 million shares represented by options that remain outstanding under the 2002 Plan will transfer to the 2003 Plan if they are cancelled or expire without delivery of the shares of stock by the Company.
The number of shares, terms, and vesting period are determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors on an option-by-option basis. Options generally vest ratably over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options are granted to members of the board of directors under the terms of the 2003 Plan and vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted is equivalent to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted approximately 1.4 million options under the 2003 Plan. The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which 2.0 million shares of common stock have been authorized and, as September 30, 2010, approximately 0.4 million shares are available for purchase by eligible employees. Any shares are issued twice yearly at the end of each six month offering period. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued no shares of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Stock Repurchase Program
On May 3, 2010, the Companys board of directors authorized the repurchase of $100 million of the Companys outstanding common stock. On August 30, 2010, the Companys board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million of the Companys outstanding common stock. During the period ended September 30, 2010, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 1.8 million shares of its common stock under the original share repurchase program completing the original repurchase of $100 million and retiring and accumulated 5.7 million shares. No shares have been repurchased under the second authorization. The Company expects to complete the share repurchase program on or before June 30, 2011. The Company uses the par value method of accounting for its stock repurchases. As a result of the stock repurchases the Company reduced common stock and additional paid-in capital by an aggregate of $12.8 million and charged $15.8 million to retained earnings for the period ended September 30, 2010.

(5) | Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Companys common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Companys common stock, including common stock equivalents outstanding. Certain common shares consisting of stock options that would have an antidilutive effect were not included in the diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations (in thousands):

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, there were outstanding potential common equivalent shares of 9,256,113, compared to 4,453,927 in the same period in 2009, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. These potential dilutive common equivalent shares may be dilutive to future diluted earnings per share.
(6) | Segment and Related Information |
The Companys business units from continuing operations have been aggregated into two reportable segments: (i) genetics and (ii) molecular diagnostics. The genetics segment is focused on the discovery of genes related to major common diseases and includes corporate services such as finance, human resources, legal, and information technology. The molecular diagnostics segment provides testing to determine predispositions to common diseases.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on results from operations before interest income and expense and other income and expense.

(7) | Fair Value Measurements |
The fair value of the Companys financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates to receive in connection with the sale of an asset or paid in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:
Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Some of the Companys marketable securities primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities.
Level 3unobservable inputs.
The substantial majority of the Companys financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based on other observable inputs. The following table sets forth the fair value of our financial assets that the Company re-measured:

As of September 30, 2010, the Company held $1.4 million of investments which were measured using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These investments represent less than 1% of our investments portfolio and were classified as Level 3 assets as of September 30, 2010. Our Level 3 assets consist of auction rate securities and the value is determined based on market quotes of comparable securities. There were no changes in the composition or estimated fair value of our Level 3 financial assets, which are measured at fair value on a periodic basis, for the period ended September 30, 2010.

(8) | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Management believes any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, operating results, or cash flows.
(9) | Income Taxes |
In order to determine the Companys quarterly provision for income taxes, it used an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $13.6 million, or approximately 38% of pre-tax income compared to $1.0 million income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible stock option expenses.
The Company files U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations. The Companys consolidated federal tax return and any significant state tax returns are not currently under examination.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We are a leading molecular diagnostic company focused on developing and marketing novel predictive medicine, personalized medicine, and prognostic medicine products. We believe that the future of medicine lies in a shift from a treatment paradigm to a prevention paradigm. By understanding the genetic basis of disease, we believe that individuals who have a greater risk of developing disease can be identified and physicians can use this information to improve patient outcomes and better manage patient healthcare. We employ a number of proprietary technologies that help us to understand the genetic basis of human disease and the role that genes and their related proteins may play in the onset, progression and treatment of disease. We use this information to guide the development of new molecular diagnostic products that are designed to assess an individuals risk for developing disease later in life (predictive medicine), identify a patients likelihood of responding to drug therapy and help guide a patients dosing to ensure optimal treatment (personalized medicine), or assess a patients risk of disease progression and disease recurrence (prognostic medicine).
Our goal is to provide physicians with this critical information that may guide the healthcare management of their patients to prevent disease, delay the onset of disease, or diagnose the disease at an earlier stage when it is more treatable. We are also committed to assisting the physician in managing their patients healthcare to ensure that they receive the most appropriate therapy based on the patients individual genetic makeup and the specific cause of their disease.
We offer eight commercial molecular diagnostic products, including four predictive medicine, three personalized medicine products, and one prognostic medicine product. We market these products through our own 315-person sales force in the United States and we have entered into marketing collaborations with other organizations in selected foreign countries, although as of September 30, 2010, we have not received material revenues from foreign sales. Revenue was $91.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 8% over revenues of $85.1 million for the same period in the prior year.
The eight commercial molecular diagnostic products that we offer are:
| BRACAnalysis®, our predictive medicine product for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer; |
| COLARIS®, our predictive medicine product for hereditary colorectal and uterine cancer; |
| COLARIS AP®, our predictive medicine product for hereditary colon cancer; |
| MELARIS®, our predictive medicine product for hereditary melanoma; |
| Theraguide® 5-FU, our personalized medicine product for chemotherapy toxicity to 5-FU; |
| Prezeon, our personalized medicine product to assess PTEN status for disease progression and drug response; |
| OnDose®, our personalized medicine product to measure chemotherapy exposure to 5-FU; and |
| Prolaris, our prognostic medicine product for prostate cancer. |
Our revenues consist predominately of sales of our molecular diagnostic products. Sales of BRACAnalysis, our product which provide a comprehensive analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes for assessing a womans risk of developing hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, accounted for $80.7 million and $75.3 million or 87.8% and 88.4% of total revenues for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Sales of COLARIS and COLARIS AP, our products which provide a comprehensive analysis of MLH1, MSH6, APC and MYH genes for assessing a persons risk for colorectal cancer or uterine cancer, accounted for $7.1 million and $6.3 million or 7.8% and 7.4% of total revenue for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Sales of our other products accounted for of $4.1 million and $3.6 million or 4.4% and 4.2% were generated from our other products which included MELARIS, TheraGuide 5-FU, OnDose, PREZEON, and single site testing as well as a small amount of license revenue during the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we devoted substantially all of our resources to supporting our molecular diagnostic products, as well as to the research and development of future molecular diagnostic product candidates. We are developing and intend to launch our ninth molecular diagnostic product for the genetic predisposition of pancreatic cancer on or before December 31, 2010. We have two reportable operating segmentsgenetics and molecular diagnostics. See Note 6 Segment and Related Information in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for information regarding these operating segments.
We incurred research and development expenses of $5.8 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our research and development expenses include costs incurred in maintaining and improving our eight current molecular diagnostic products and costs incurred for the discovery, development and validation of our pipeline of molecular diagnostic product candidates. Our sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses include costs associated with building our molecular diagnostic business. We expect that these costs will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and that such fluctuations may be substantial.
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we had net income of $22.5 million that included income tax expense of $13.6 million compared to net income of $30.4 million from the same period in 2009 that included income tax expense of $1.0 million. The increase in the current period income tax expense was primarily due to the application of our effective tax rate of approximately 38% to earnings as mandated by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 Income Taxes for companies with consistent profitability. Due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to offset our taxes payable, our actual cash paid for income taxes will be minimal compared to our current income tax expense. In the same period of the previous year, income tax expense was comprised solely of alternative minimum tax and state tax liabilities. As of September 30, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.8 million.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010 we completed a share repurchase program of $100 million of our outstanding stock that was authorized by our board of directors in May 2010. On August 30, 2010, we announced that our board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million of the Companys outstanding common stock. We expect to complete the additional $100 million share repurchase on or before June 30, 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those policies which are both important to the presentation of a companys financial condition and results and require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are as follows:
| revenue recognition; |
| allowance for doubtful accounts; |
| share-based payment expense; and |
| income taxes. |
Revenue Recognition. Revenue includes revenue from the sale of molecular diagnostic products and related marketing agreements, and is recorded at the invoiced amount net of any discounts or contractual allowances. Revenue is recognized upon completion of the test, communication of results, and when collectability is reasonably assured.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Trade accounts receivable are comprised of amounts due from sales of our molecular diagnostic products, which are recorded net of any discounts or contractual allowances. We analyze collectability of trade accounts receivable and consider historic experience, customer creditworthiness, facts and circumstances specific to outstanding balances, and payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We periodically evaluate and adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts when trends or significant events indicate that a change in estimate is appropriate. Such changes in estimate could materially affect our results of operations or financial position; however, to date these changes have not been material. It is possible that we may need to adjust our estimates in future periods.
13
Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, if a hypothetical ten percent increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts were to occur, this would result in additional bad debt expense and an increase to our allowance for doubtful accounts of $420,000 and $440,000, respectively.
Share-Based Payment Expense. We recognize share-based equity compensation in our consolidated statements of operations at the grant-date fair value of our stock options and other equity-based compensation. The determination of grant-date fair value is estimated using an option-pricing model, which includes variables such as the expected volatility of our share price, the exercise behavior of our employees, interest rates, and dividend yields. These variables are projected based on our historical data, experience, and other factors. Changes in any of these variables could result in material increases to the valuation of options granted in future periods and increases in the expense recognized for share-based payments.
Income Taxes. Our income tax provision is based on income before taxes and is computed using the liability method in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates projected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Significant estimates are required in determining our provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations, or the expected results from any future tax examinations. Various internal and external factors may have favorable or unfavorable effects on our future provision for income taxes. Those factors include, but are not limited to, changes in tax laws, regulations and/or rates, the results of any future tax examinations, changing interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations, changes in estimates of prior years items, past levels of R&D spending, acquisitions, changes in our corporate structure, and changes in overall levels of income before taxes all of which may result in periodic revisions to our provision for income taxes.
Developing our provision for income taxes, including our effective tax rate and analysis of potential uncertain tax positions, if any, requires significant judgment and expertise in federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any estimated valuation allowance we deem necessary to offset deferred tax assets. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, we determined that a valuation allowance was not required for our deferred tax assets because we have established a sufficient history of taxable income from operations. However, if we do not maintain taxable income from operations in future periods, we may increase the valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets and record material adjustments to our income tax expense. Our judgment and tax strategies are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. While we believe we have provided adequately for our uncertain income tax positions in our consolidated financial statements, adverse determination by these taxing authorities could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Interest and penalties on income tax items are included as a component of overall income tax expense.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $91.9 million, compared to $85.1 million for the same three months in 2009. This 8% increase in revenue is attributable to approximately 6% in increased testing volume and approximately 2% in price increase. We believe that increased sales, marketing, and education efforts resulted in wider acceptance of our products by the medical community and patients and increased testing volumes. We are currently executing a public awareness campaign and attempting to increase our market penetration in the U.S. OB/Gyn market. Through these and other efforts we are attempting to broaden utilization of BRAC Analysis, which accounted for approximately 87.8% of our revenues during the quarter, with current physician customers and increase the number of new physician customers prescribing our products. We believe these efforts may allow us to continue to grow molecular diagnostic revenue in future periods; however, the markets in which we operate are still experiencing high unemployment, reduced physician office visits, higher health insurance deductibles, and other economic challenges. We believe that there continues to be a negative impact on our revenue growth due to these difficult economic conditions. In addition, because BRACAnalysis and many of our molecular diagnostic products are only utilized once per patient, we will need to sell our services through physicians to new patients or develop new molecular diagnostic products in order to continue to generate revenue. Therefore, there can be no assurance that molecular diagnostic revenue will continue to increase at historical rates or at all.

Table of Contents
Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $11.0 million, compared to $11.1 million for the same three months in 2009. This decrease in molecular diagnostic cost of revenue despite an increase in testing volumes is primarily due to technology improvements and efficiency gains in the operation of our molecular diagnostic laboratory. Our gross profit margin was 88% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 87% for the same three months in 2009. Our gross profit margins may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the introduction of any new molecular diagnostic products, changes in our costs associated with such products, and any new technologies and operating systems in our molecular diagnostic laboratory. There can be no assurance that gross profit margins will continue to increase or remain at current levels.
Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, laboratory supplies, clinical trial costs for molecular diagnostic products in development, and equipment and facility costs. Research and development expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $5.8 million compared to $5.7 million for same three months in 2009. This increase of 2% was primarily due to increased research and development associated with clinical studies to support our existing molecular diagnostic products and internal molecular diagnostic product discovery and development. We expect our research and development expenses will increase over the next several years as we work to develop our product pipeline and expand our offerings of molecular diagnostic products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related personnel costs for sales, marketing, customer service, billing and collection, executive, legal, finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, and allocated facilities expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $39.5 million, compared to $38.7 million for the same three months in 2009. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense of 2% was due primarily to:
| increase in share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.8 million; |
| general increase in administrative costs of approximately $0.2 million to support the growth in our revenues; and |
| offset by a decrease in sales and marketing expense of approximately $0.2. |
We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to fluctuate depending on the number and scope of any new molecular diagnostic product launches, such as our launch of our ninth molecular diagnostic product expected to be launched at the end of 2010, and our efforts in support of our existing molecular diagnostic products.
Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.7 million, compared to $1.9 million for the same three months in 2009, a decrease of 62%. The decrease was due primarily to lower interest rates during the 2010 period.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $13.6 million for an effective rate of approximately 38%, compared to income tax expense of $1.0 million in the 2009 period. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 consisted of alternative minimum tax and state tax liabilities compared to income tax expense for the current quarter that is based on our estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. Our annual effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible stock option expenses. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. Due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards that offset our taxes payable, our current income tax expense will not be indicative of the actual cash paid for income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment securities increased $20.0 million, or 4%, from $488.4 million at June 30, 2010 to $508.4 million at September 30, 2010. This increase was attributed to increased sales, partially offset by purchasing $28.6 million worth of stock under our share repurchase program, expenditures for our internal research and development programs, purchase of capital assets, sales and marketing expense for our molecular diagnostic products, and other expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $29.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $23.2 million provided by operating activities during the same three months in 2009. Our net income was reduced by non-cash charges in the form of share-based compensation and depreciation and amortization during the period was $8.1 million. Deferred income taxes decreased by $12.5 million between June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, primarily due to the utilization of net operating losses to offset income taxes payable. Prepaid expenses increased by $1.0 million due to pre-payment of sales and marketing efforts associated with our current DTC campaign.
Our investing activities provided cash of $16.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $1.3 million during the same three months in 2009. Investing activities were comprised primarily of purchases and sales and maturities of marketable investment securities. Capital expenditures for equipment and facilities were $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Financing activities used cash of $15.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and provided cash of $3.2 million in the same three months in 2009. Cash utilized in financing activities was primarily due to the purchase of $28.6 million of our common stock through our $100 million share repurchase program authorized in May 2010. The cash used in the share purchase program was partially offset by cash provided by the exercise of stock options and excess tax benefits received from stock based compensation.
We believe that with our existing capital resources and expected net cash to be generated from sales of our molecular diagnostic products, we will have adequate funds to maintain our current and planned operations for at least the next two years, although no assurance can be given that changes will not occur that would consume available capital resources before such time and we may need or want to raise additional financing within this period of time. Our future capital requirements, cash flows, and results of operations could be affected by and will depend on many factors that are currently unknown to us, including:
| failure to sustain revenue growth or margins in our molecular diagnostic business; |
| termination of the licenses underlying our molecular diagnostic products or failure to enter into product or technology licensing or other arrangements favorable to us; |
| delays or other problems with operating our laboratory facilities; |
| the costs and expenses incurred in supporting our existing molecular diagnostic products; |
| the progress, results and cost of developing and launching additional molecular diagnostic products for our molecular diagnostic business; |
| the costs, timing, outcome, and enforcement of any regulatory review of our existing or future molecular diagnostic products; |
| the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our issued patents and defending intellectual property-related claims; |

| the costs, timing and outcome of any litigation against us; |
| the introduction of technological innovations or new commercial products by our competitors; |
| changes in intellectual property laws of our patents or enforcement in the United States and foreign countries; |
| changes in the governmental or private insurers reimbursement levels for our products; |
| changes in structure of the healthcare system or healthcare payment systems; and |

Effects of Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, sales, or operating results during the periods presented.
