NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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 Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 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.

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.

On December 3, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the 2010 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, to make grants of stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock awards and other stock-based awards to employees, and consultants and directors. Under the 2010 Plan, 3.5 million shares of common stock are authorized for issuance. The 2010 Plan also allows for the issuance of shares of common stock that are represented by options outstanding under the Company’s 2003 Employee, Director and Consultant Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”) and 2002 Amended and Restated Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”), both of which have been terminated, that expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares of common stock on or after December 3, 2010, the date of stockholder approval of the 2010 Plan. As of March 31, 2011, approximately 14.1 million shares represented by options that remain outstanding under the 2002 Plan and 2003 Plan will transfer to the 2010 Plan if the options 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 for each equity award. Options generally vest ratably over four years and expire ten years from 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. The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which 2.0 million shares of common stock have been authorized and, as March 31, 2011, approximately 0.3 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued approximately 0 and 0.1 million shares of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

A summary of the stock option activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 is as follows:

As of March 31, 2011, options to purchase 8.9 million shares were vested and exercisable at a weighted average price of $15.29. As of March 31, 2011, there was approximately $42.4 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to share-based awards granted under the Company’s plans that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Comprehensive Income

The components of the Company’s comprehensive income are as follows:

Stock Repurchase Program

On May 4, 2010, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of $100 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On August 31, 2010, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In February 2011, the Company completed the May and August 2010 share repurchase programs.

On March 1, 2011, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized a third plan to repurchase an additional $100 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In connection with this stock repurchase authorization, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase program (“ASR program”) with J.P. Morgan to repurchase $50 million of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares to be ultimately repurchased by the Company under the ASR program will be based on the average daily volume-weighted average price of its common stock during a specified period less a predetermined discount per share. The actual number of shares repurchased will be determined at the completion of the ASR program. The Company expects all ASR program purchases be completed by June 2011. After making the initial payment of $50 million, the Company is not obligated to deliver any cash or shares to J.P. Morgan except in certain limited circumstances in which case the method of delivery (cash or shares of the Company’s common stock) would be at the Company’s discretion. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has repurchased and retired approximately 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock under the ASR program.

The Company accounted for the accelerated share repurchase as two separate transactions: (a) as shares of common stock acquired in a treasury transaction recorded on the transaction date and (b) as a forward contract indexed to the Company’s common stock. As such, the Company accounted for the approximate 2.6 million shares that it received as a repurchase of its common stock and retired those shares immediately for net income per share purposes. The company has determined that the forward contract indexed to the Company’s common stock met all the applicable criteria for equity classification, and therefore the contract was not accounted for as a derivative under applicable accounting guidance.

Table of Contents

The remaining $50 million from the share repurchase program announced in March 2011 will be made through open market or privately negotiated purchases as determined by the Company. The Company expects to complete the share repurchase on or before December 31, 2011.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 4.5 million and 9.1 million shares of its common stock and has repurchased and retired an accumulated 13.1 million shares under all the share repurchase programs. 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 $32.7 million and $53.5 million and charged $55.4 million and $96.5 million to retained earnings for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively.

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations (in thousands):

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, there were outstanding potential common equivalent shares of 8,766,588 and 8,648,261, compared to 6,272,598 and 5,845,628 in the same period in 2010, 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.

The Company’s business units from continuing operations have been aggregated into two reportable segments: (i) genetics and (ii) molecular diagnostics. The genetics segment is focused on research and development of molecular genetic products and technologies 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 that aid in personalizing medical treatments, and determine the aggressiveness of certain diseases.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on results from operations before interest income and expense and other income and expense.

The fair value of the Company’s 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 1—quoted 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 Company’s marketable securities primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities.

Level 3—unobservable inputs.

Table of Contents

The substantial majority of the Company’s 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:

(a) Money market funds are primarily comprised of government and agency obligations and accrued interest

As of March 31, 2011, 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 March 31, 2011. 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 for the period ended March 31, 2011.

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 Company’s consolidated financial position, operating results, or cash flows.

In order to determine the Company’s 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $14.4 million and $42.9 million, or approximately 34% and 36% of pre-tax income, compared to $1.2 million and $3.2 million income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 consisted of alternative minimum tax and state tax liabilities.

The Company files U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations. The Company’s consolidated federal tax return and any significant state tax returns are not currently under examination.

On December 8, 2010, the Company acquired the proprietary technology for the diagnosis and prognosis of malignant melanoma using genetic markers from Melanoma Diagnostics, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company purchased various in-process research and development technology and rights for an upfront fee of $1.5 million, which it immediately expensed. The asset purchase agreement also requires the Company to pay contingent consideration based upon any future commercial success of the tests derived from the purchased technology.

On April 27, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Rules Based Medicine (“RBM”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of RBM for $80 million in cash.

The Company is in the process of obtaining Hart, Scott, Redino antitrust approval from the Federal Trade Commission and finalizing the allocation of the purchase price among the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from the acquisition.

Item 2. Management’s 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 individual’s risk for developing disease later in life (predictive medicine), identify a patient’s likelihood of responding to drug therapy and help guide a patient’s dosing to ensure optimal treatment (personalized medicine), or assess a patient’s 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 patient’s healthcare to ensure that they receive the most appropriate therapy based on the patient’s individual genetic makeup and the specific cause of their disease.

We offer nine commercial molecular diagnostic products, including five predictive medicine products, three personalized medicine products, and a prognostic medicine product. In December 2010 we announced the launched of our ninth molecular diagnostic product, Panexia, a predictive medicine test for the genetic predisposition of pancreatic cancer. We market these products through our own 315-person sales force in the United States and are currently formulating our plans for our international expansion. Revenue was $102.4 million and $294.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately 13% and 10% over revenues of $90.8 million and $268.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

The nine commercial molecular diagnostic products that we offer are:

During December 2010, we acquired proprietary technology for the diagnosis and prognosis of malignant melanoma using genetic marker technology from Melanoma Diagnostics, Inc. The tests that may be developed from the acquired technology may provide physicians with important information in the differential diagnosis of melanoma from otherwise benign moles, and in understanding the aggressiveness of the patient’s disease. Under the agreement, we have the right to commercialize all tests derived from the technology on a worldwide basis in exchange for an upfront payment of $1.5 million and contingent payments based upon the commercial success of the products. The upfront payment was fully expensed as research and development during the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Table of Contents

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, 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 also formulating our plans for future international expansion. We have two reportable operating segments—genetics 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 $6.7 million and $18.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $5.9 million and $16.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010. Our research and development expenses include costs incurred in maintaining and improving our nine 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2011, we had net income of $27.9 million and $74.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.31 and $0.80. During the fiscal year the net income and earnings per share results included income tax expense of $14.4 million and $42.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 we had net income of $33.3 million and $99.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.33 and $1.00 that included income tax expense of $1.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The increase in the current period income tax expense was primarily due to the application of our effective tax rate of approximately 34% and 36% of earnings while income tax expense for the same periods in 2010 was comprised solely of alternative minimum tax and state tax liabilities. Due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to offset our taxes payable, we expect our actual cash payments for income taxes to be minimal compared to our current income tax expense.

On May 4, 2010, we announced that our board of directors had authorized the repurchase of $100 million of our outstanding common stock. On August 31, 2010, we announced that our board of directors had authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million of our outstanding common stock. As of February 28, 2011, we had completed the May and August 2010 share the repurchase programs. On March 1, 2011, we announced that our board of directors authorized a third plan to repurchase an additional $100 million of our outstanding common stock. In connection with this stock repurchase authorization, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR program”) with J.P. Morgan to repurchase $50 million of our common stock. The number of shares to be ultimately repurchased under the ASR program will be based on the average daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock during a specified period less a predetermined discount per share. As of March 31, 2011 we have repurchased and retired approximately 2.6 million shares of our common stock under the ASR program for an aggregate purchase price of $50 million. We expect all ASR program purchases to be completed by June 30, 2011. The remaining $50 million from the share repurchase program announced in March 2011 will be made through open market or privately negotiated purchases as determined by us. We expect to complete this portion of the share repurchase program on or before December 31, 2011. See also “Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds – Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.”

On April 27, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Rules Based Medicine (“RBM”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of RBM for $80 million in cash. We believe that this acquisition represents an attractive opportunity because of RBM’s (i) strong product pipeline in the psychiatric, infections and inflammatory disease areas, (ii) leadership in the companion diagnostic fields, and (iii) proprietary, multiplex immunoassay technology. We anticipate the acquisition will close on or before May 31, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those policies which are both important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results and require management’s 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. 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.

As of March 31, 2011 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.

16

Table of Contents

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 fourth quarter of 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 March 31, 2011 and 2010

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $102.4 million, compared to $90.8 million for the same three months in 2010. Of this 13% increase in revenue, approximately 8% is attributable to increased testing volume and approximately 5% is attributable to price increases. We believe that increased sales, marketing, and education efforts resulted in wider acceptance of our products by the medical community and increased patient testing volumes. While the markets in which we operate are still experiencing high unemployment, the economy appears to be improving and physician office visits were stable during the three months ended March 31, 2011. However, there can be no assurance that molecular diagnostic revenue will continue to increase or remain at current levels.

Our revenues consist predominately of sales of our molecular diagnostic products. Revenues of our products for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Our sales force is focused on two major markets, oncology and women’s health. Sales of molecular diagnostic products in each market for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Table of Contents

Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, laboratory supplies, royalty payments, equipment costs and facilities expense. Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $11.1 million, compared to $10.9 million for the same three months in 2010. This increase in molecular diagnostic cost of revenue is primarily due to an increase in testing volumes. Our gross profit margin was 89% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 88% for the same period ended March 31, 2010. Our gross profit margins may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the introduction of new molecular diagnostic products, price increases of existing products, changes in our costs associated with such products, new technologies and operating systems to integrate into our molecular diagnostic laboratory and costs associated with establishing any additional laboratories outside the United States. 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 March 31, 2011 were $6.7 million compared to $5.9 million for same three months in 2010. This increase of 13% 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. These increases were offset by a decrease in lab supply costs. We expect our research and development expenses will increase over the next several years as we continue 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 March 31, 2011 were $42.8 million, compared to $40.8 million for the same three months in 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense of 5% was due primarily to:

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, our efforts in support of our existing molecular diagnostic products and our continued international expansion efforts.

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.5 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same three months in 2010, a decrease of 56%. The decrease was due primarily to lower market interest rates during the 2011 period.

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $14.4 million, for an effective rate of approximately 34%, compared to income tax expense of $1.2 million in the 2010 period. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 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 adjusted by discrete items recognized during the period. Our annual effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized during the quarter in 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 in fiscal 2011 is significantly higher than our actual cash paid for income taxes.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

Revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $294.7 million, compared to $268.7 million for the same nine months in 2010. Of this 10% increase in revenue, approximately 6% is attributable to increased testing volume and approximately 4% is attributable to price increases.

Revenues of our products for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Our sales force is focused on two major markets, oncology and women’s health. Sales of molecular diagnostic products in each market for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Cost of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $34.2 million, compared to $33.0 million for the same nine months in 2010. This increase in molecular diagnostic cost of revenue is primarily due to an increase in testing volumes. Our gross profit margin was 88% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Our gross profit margins may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the introduction of any new molecular diagnostic products, price increases of existing products, changes in our costs associated with such products, new technologies and operating systems integrated into our molecular diagnostic laboratory, and costs associated with establishing any additional laboratories outside the United States. There can be no assurance that gross profit margins will continue to increase or remain at current levels.

Research and development expenses incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $18.5 million compared to $16.6 million for same nine months in 2010. This increase of 11% was primarily due to increased research and development associated with clinical studies to support our existing molecular diagnostic products, internal molecular diagnostic product discovery and development, and the purchase of in-process research and development technology. These increases were offset by a decrease in lab supply costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $126.0 million, compared to $121.6 million for the same nine months in 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense of 4% was due primarily to:

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, our efforts in support of our existing molecular diagnostic products, and our continued international expansion efforts.

Interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.8 million, compared to $4.7 million for the same nine months in 2010, a decrease of 61%. The decrease was due primarily to lower market interest rates during the 2010 period.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $42.9 million, for an effective rate of approximately 36%, compared to income tax expense of $3.2 million in the 2010 period. Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 consisted of alternative minimum tax and state tax liabilities, compared to income tax expense for the current nine month period that is based on our estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 adjusted by discrete items recognized during the period. Our annual effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized during the quarter during in 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 in fiscal 2011 is significantly higher than our actual cash paid for income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment securities decreased $36.9 million, or 8%, to $451.5 million at March 31, 2011 from $488.4 million at June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily attributed to purchasing $178.6 million of our common stock under our share repurchase programs, expenditures for our internal research and development programs, and purchases of technology and capital assets, which was offset by our increased collections from our molecular diagnostic sales.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $94.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $108.6 million provided by operating activities during the same nine months in 2010. Our net income was reduced by non-cash charges in the form of share-based compensation and depreciation and amortization which totaled $31.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Accounts receivable increased by $11.0 million primarily due to an increase in our sales. Accrued liabilities and accounts payable decreased by $1.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, between June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, primarily due to payments of sales and marketing expenses associated with our current direct to consumer (“DTC”) campaign.

Our investing activities provided cash of $6.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and used cash $88.6 million during the same nine months in 2010. Investing activities were comprised primarily of purchases and sales and maturities of marketable investment securities and the purchase of in-process research and development technology. Capital expenditures for equipment and facilities for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $3.2 million.

Financing activities used cash of $126.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and provided cash of $18.7 million in the same nine months in 2010. Cash utilized in financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the purchase of $178.6 million of our common stock through our share repurchase programs, partially offset by $8.0 million from cash provided by the exercise of stock options and $44.2 million from excess tax benefits received from share 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 three 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:

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.
