NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by PerkinElmer, Inc. (the Company), without audit, in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (the U.S.) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information in the footnote disclosures of these financial statements has been condensed or omitted where it substantially duplicates information provided in the Companys latest audited financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008, filed with the SEC (the 2008 Form 10-K). The balance sheet amounts at December 28, 2008 in this report were derived from the Companys audited 2008 consolidated financial statements included in the 2008 Form 10-K. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for the three months ended April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year or any future period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements significant aspects of a business combination. Under SFAS No. 141(R), acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests are valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date will affect income tax expense. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R). SFAS No. 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141(R) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have a significant impact on the Companys acquisition activity in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and
6
Table of Contents
distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. The Company adopted SFAS No. 160 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. SFAS No. 161 establishes principles and requirements for how an entity identifies derivative instruments and related hedged items that affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also establishes disclosure requirements that the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses are disclosed in a tabular format, that derivative features which are credit-risk related be disclosed to provide clarification to an entitys liquidity and cross-referencing within footnotes. The Company adopted SFAS No. 161 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and has evaluated the requirements of SFAS No. 161, which provides for additional disclosure on the Companys derivative instruments. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. See Notes 17 and 18 for the Companys disclosure on derivative instruments and hedging activities.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP No. 142-3). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). The objective of FSP No. 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R), and other accounting principles. FSP No. 142-3 applies to all intangible assets, whether acquired in a business combination or otherwise, and early adoption is prohibited. The Company adopted FSP No. 142-3 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of FSP No. 142-3 did not have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (FSP No. 141(R)-1), which amends and clarifies the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and related disclosures of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination under SFAS No. 141(R). FSP No. 141(R)-1 is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP No. 141(R)-1 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 in conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R). The adoption of FSP No. 141(R)-1 did not have a significant impact on the Companys acquisition activity in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FSP No. 132(R)-1), which requires additional disclosures for employers pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets. Pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets were not included within the scope of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). FSP No. 132(R)-1 requires employers to disclose information about fair value measurements of plan assets similar to the disclosures required under SFAS No. 157, including the investment policies and strategies for the major categories of plan assets, and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. FSP No. 132(R)-1 will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009, with earlier application permitted. Upon initial application, the provisions
7
Table of Contents
of FSP No. 132(R)-1 are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes. The Company will be required to adopt FSP No. 132(R)-1 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. FSP No. 132(R)-1 provides only disclosure requirements; the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP No. 157-4). FSP No. 157-4 amends SFAS No. 157 and provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly for fair value measurements. FSP No. 157-4 will be applied prospectively with retrospective application not permitted, and will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting FSP No. 157-4 must also early adopt FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2). Additionally, if an entity elects to early adopt either FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1) or FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2, it must also elect to early adopt FSP No. 157-4. The Company will be required to adopt FSP No. 157-4 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. 157-4 and does not believe that it will have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2. FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 amends SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, SFAS No. 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations, and EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to make the other-than-temporary impairments guidance found therein more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in financial statements. FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 will replace the existing requirement that an entitys management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with a requirement that management assert it does not have the intent to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 provides increased disclosure about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold and also requires increased and more frequent disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. Although FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 does not result in a change in the carrying amount of debt securities, it does require that the portion of an other-than-temporary impairment not related to a credit loss for a held-to-maturity security be recognized in a new category of other comprehensive income and be amortized over the remaining life of the debt security as an increase in the carrying value of the security. FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 only if it also elects to early adopt FSP No. 157-4. Also, if an entity elects to early adopt either FSP No. 157-4 or FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, the entity also is required to early adopt FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2. The Company will be required to adopt FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 and does not believe that it will have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1. FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS No. 107), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Prior to FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed annually. FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107 and requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be
8
Table of Contents
effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 only if it also elects to early adopt FSP No. 157-4 and FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2. FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The Company will be required to adopt FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 and does not believe that it will have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 2: Acquisitions
Acquisition of Analytica of Branford, Inc. In May 2009, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Analytica of Branford, Inc. (Analytica). Analytica is a leading developer of mass spectrometry and ion source technology. The Company expects this acquisition to allow the Company to offer its customers access to critical technologies such as time-of-flight and quadrupole mass spectrometers and new ion sources that provide more complete information as well as better throughput. The Company will also gain significant intellectual property in the field of mass spectrometry and ion source technology. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired. The Company paid the shareholders of Analytica approximately $24.0 million in cash for this acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets will be allocated to goodwill, which may be tax deductible if elected by the Company. The Company expects to report the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Companys Environmental Health segment from the acquisition date.
Acquisition of Opto Technology Inc. In January 2009, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Opto Technology Inc. (Opto Technology). Opto Technology is a supplier of light-emitting diode based lighting components and subsystems. The Company expects this acquisition to expand its portfolio of high brightness LED components by adding optical subsystems to provide energy efficient solid state lighting solutions to original equipment manufacturers. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the customer base acquired. The Company paid the shareholders of Opto Technology approximately $20.6 million in cash for this acquisition plus $8.0 million in potential additional contingent consideration, of which the Company recorded $4.9 million as the fair value at the acquisition date. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company received approximately $0.2 million from the former shareholders of Opto Technology for net working capital adjustments. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. The Company reports the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Companys Environmental Health segment from the acquisition date.
The Opto Technology acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition was based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired, and is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. The fair values assigned to contingent consideration, tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on managements estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. Contingent consideration has been measured at fair value at the acquisition date with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings. The excess purchase price over those assigned values was recorded as goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Purchased intangibles with finite lives will be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. See Note 13 below for additional details.
As of April 5, 2009, the purchase price and related allocation for the Opto Technology acquisition was preliminary. The preliminary allocation may be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, as well as additional information regarding assets and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities, deferred

taxes and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase. For acquisitions subject to SFAS No. 141(R), during the measurement period, the Company will recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. The Company expects to finalize any outstanding information no later than one year from the date of acquisition.

Note 3: Restructuring and Lease Charges, net
The Company has undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and the integration of its business units. Restructuring actions were recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
A description of the restructuring plans and the activity recorded for the three months ended April 5, 2009 is listed below. Details of the plans initiated in previous years, particularly those listed under Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans, are discussed more fully in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2008 Form 10-K.
The restructuring plan for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was principally to reduce resources in anticipation of decreasing demand in certain end markets. The restructuring plan for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 was principally to shift resources into geographic regions and product lines that are more consistent with the Companys growth strategy. The activities associated with these plans have been reported as restructuring expenses as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations. The Company expects the impact of immediate cost savings from the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 restructuring plan on operating results and cash flows to approximately offset the decline in revenue. The Company expects the impact of future cost savings from these restructuring activities on operating results and cash flows to be negligible, as the Company will incur offsetting costs.
Q1 2009 Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Companys management approved a plan to reduce resources in anticipation of decreasing demand in certain end markets (the Q1 2009 Plan). As a result of the Q1 2009
10
Table of Contents
Plan, the Company recognized a $3.0 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of an excess facility. The Company also recognized a $4.8 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of an excess facility. All actions related to the Q1 2009 Plan were completed by April 5, 2009.

The Company also anticipates that the remaining payments of $0.4 million for the closure of the excess facility will be paid through fiscal year 2012, in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases.
Q3 2008 Plan
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Companys management approved a plan to shift resources into product lines that are more consistent with the Companys growth strategy (the Q3 2008 Plan). As a result of the Q3 2008 Plan, the Company recognized a $3.3 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facilities. The Company also recognized a $4.5 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facilities. All actions related to the Q3 2008 Plan were completed by September 28, 2008.

The Company also anticipates that the remaining payments of $1.0 million for the closure of the excess facilities will be paid through fiscal year 2011, in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases.
Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from the fiscal years 2001 through 2007 were workforce reductions related to the integration of the Companys businesses in order to reduce costs and achieve operational efficiencies as well as workforce reductions in both the Environmental Health and Human Health segments by shifting resources into geographic regions and product lines that are more consistent with the Companys growth strategy. During the three months ended April 5, 2009, the Company paid $0.2 million related to these plans. As of April 5, 2009, the Company had approximately $1.7 million of remaining liabilities
11
Table of Contents
associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily relating to remaining lease obligations related to those closed facilities in both the Environmental Health and Human Health segments. The remaining terms of these leases vary in length and will be paid through fiscal year 2011.
Lease Charges
To facilitate the sale of a business in fiscal year 2001, the Company was required to guarantee the obligations that the buyer of the business assumed related to the lease for the building in which the business operates. The lease obligations continue through March 2011. While the Company assigned its interest in the lease to the buyer at the time of the sale of the business, in the event the buyer defaults under the lease, the Company is responsible for all remaining lease payments and certain other building related expenses. During fiscal year 2007, the lessor of the building began the process to evict the buyer as a result of unpaid lease payments and building expenses and sought reimbursement from the Company. The Company recorded a charge of $2.7 million related to payments for this lease obligation. The buyer filed for bankruptcy protection on October 27, 2008 and was delinquent in making both its lease payments and payments for certain building expenses, requiring the Company to make payments of $0.4 million during fiscal year 2008. In addition, the Company made payments of $0.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. As of April 5, 2009, the Company is still responsible for the remaining accrual of $2.0 million, which relates to the remaining lease and building obligations through March 2011, reduced by estimated sublease rentals reasonably expected to be obtained for the property.

Note 6: Income Taxes
The Company regularly reviews its tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating its unrecognized tax benefits as required by FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN No. 48). Adjustments are made to the Companys unrecognized tax
12
Table of Contents
benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in managements judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position.
At April 5, 2009, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $43.1 million, of which $38.6 million, if recognized, would affect the continuing operations effective tax rate. The remaining amount, if recognized, would affect discontinued operations. With the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties, after the acquisition date, will affect income tax expense, including those associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 141(R).
At April 5, 2009, the Company had $11.2 million of accrued FIN No. 48 liabilities, including accrued interest, net of tax benefits, and penalties, which should be resolved within the next year as a result of the completion of various audits. A portion of the FIN No. 48 accrued tax liabilities could affect the continuing operations effective tax rate depending on the ultimate resolution; however, the Company cannot quantify an estimated range at this time. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions.
Tax years ranging from 1998 through 2008 remain open to examination by various state and foreign tax jurisdictions (such as China, Indonesia, the Philippines and the United Kingdom) in which the Company has significant business operations. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction.
Note 7: Debt
Amended Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On August 13, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility providing for a facility through August 13, 2012, which amended and restated in its entirety the Companys previous senior revolving credit agreement dated as of October 31, 2005. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company exercised its option to increase the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility to $650.0 million from $500.0 million. Letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $14.0 million were issued under the previous facility, which are treated as issued under the amended facility. The Company uses the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and strategic alliances. The interest rates under the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility are based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin or the base rate from time to time. The base rate is the higher of (i) the corporate base rate announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. and (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The Company may allocate all or a portion of its indebtedness under the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility to interest based upon the Eurocurrency rate plus a margin or the base rate. The Eurocurrency margin as of April 5, 2009 was 40 basis points. The weighted average Eurocurrency interest rate as of April 5, 2009 was 0.51%, resulting in a weighted average effective Eurocurrency rate, including the margin, of 0.91%. The Company had drawn down approximately $394.0 million of borrowings in U.S. Dollars under the facility as of April 5, 2009, with interest based on the above described Eurocurrency rate. The agreement for the facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type, which are consistent with those financial covenants contained in the Companys previous senior revolving credit agreement. The financial covenants in the Companys amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility include debt-to-capital ratios and a contingent maximum total leverage ratio, applicable if the Companys credit rating is down-graded below investment grade. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of April 5, 2009.
6% Senior Unsecured Notes. On May 30, 2008, the Company issued and sold seven-year senior notes at a rate of 6% with a face value of $150.0 million and received $150.0 million in gross proceeds from the issuance. The debt, which matures in May 2015, is unsecured. Interest on the 6% senior notes is payable semi-annually on
13
Table of Contents
May 30th and November 30th. The Company may redeem some or all of its 6% senior notes at any time in an amount not less than 10% of the original aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the applicable make-whole amount. The financial covenants in the Companys 6% senior notes include debt-to-capital ratios which, if the Companys credit rating is down-graded below investment grade, would be replaced by a contingent maximum total leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of April 5, 2009.
The Company entered into forward interest rate contracts that were intended to hedge movements in interest rates prior to the Companys expected debt issuance. In May 2008, the Company settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of the Companys 6% senior unsecured notes. The Company did not recognize any ineffectiveness related to these cash flow hedges. The Company recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges. As of April 5, 2009, the balance remaining in other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges was $7.4 million, net of taxes of $4.8 million. The derivative losses are amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. The Company amortized into interest expense $0.5 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2009 and $1.2 million during fiscal year 2008 for these derivative losses.
Note 8: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less restricted unvested shares. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, primarily shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles the number of shares utilized in the earnings per share calculations:

Antidilutive securities include outstanding stock options with exercise prices and average unrecognized compensation cost in excess of the average fair market value of the Companys common stock for the related period. Antidilutive options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share and could become dilutive in the future.

Note 10: Industry Segment Information
The Company follows SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No. 131). SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and in interim reports to shareholders. The method for determining what information to report is based on the way that management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
Beginning with fiscal year 2009, the Company has realigned its businesses in a manner intended to allow the Company to prioritize its capabilities on two key strategic operating areas Human Health and Environmental Health. The Company realigned into these two new operating segments to align its resources to meet the demands of the markets the Company serves and to focus on the important outcomes enabled by its technologies. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on sales and operating income. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant. The Companys management reviews the results of the operations by these two new operating segments. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2008 Form 10-K. The results reported for this quarter reflect this new alignment of the Companys operating segments. Financial information in this report relating to the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes in the Companys operating segments. The principal products and services of these operating segments are:
| Human Health. Develops diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect disease earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. Within the Human Health segment, the Company serves both the diagnostics and research markets. Specifically, the Human Health segment includes the Companys products and services that address the genetic screening and bio-discovery markets, formerly in its Life and Analytical Sciences segment, and its technology serving the medical imaging market, formerly in its Optoelectronics segment. |
15
Table of Contents
| Environmental Health. Provides technologies and applications to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. The Environmental Health segment serves the environmental, safety and security, industrial and laboratory services markets. Specifically, the Environmental Health segment includes the Companys products and services that address the analytical sciences and laboratory service and support markets, formerly in its Life and Analytical Sciences segment, and its technology designed for the sensors and specialty lighting markets, formerly in its Optoelectronics segment. |
The assets and expenses for the Companys corporate headquarters, such as legal, tax, audit, human resources, information technology, and other management and compliance costs, have been included as Corporate below. The Company has a process to allocate and recharge expenses to the reportable segments when such costs are administered or paid by the corporate headquarters based on the extent to which the segment benefited from the expenses. These amounts have been calculated in a consistent manner and are included in the Companys calculations of segment results to internally plan and assess the performance of each segment for all purposes, including determining the compensation of the business leaders for each of the Companys operating segments.
Sales and operating profit by segment, excluding discontinued operations, are shown in the table below:

Note 11: Discontinued Operations
As part of the Companys continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, the Company has discontinued certain businesses. The Company has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, and, accordingly, has presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of these businesses have been presented separately, and are reflected within the assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 5, 2009 and December 28, 2008.

As part of the Companys new strategic business alignment into the Human Health and Environmental Health segments and the Companys continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, in December 2008, the Companys management approved separate plans to divest its Photonics and Photoflash businesses within the Environmental Health segment. Photonics and Photoflash products and technologies include xenon flashtubes and modules. These products are used in a variety of applications including mobile phones and laser machine tools. The Company is actively marketing and is currently committed to a plan to sell both of these businesses.
In addition, during December 2008, the Companys management approved the shut down of certain instrument businesses within the Human Health segment: Cellular Screening Fluorescence and Luminescence workstations, Analytical Proteomics Instruments and Proteomics and Genomics Instruments. The shut down of the Cellular Screening Fluorescence and Luminescence workstations business, the Analytical Proteomics Instruments business, and the Proteomics and Genomics Instruments business resulted in a pre-tax loss of $4.8 million related to lease and severance costs and the reduction of fixed assets and inventory to net realizable value during fiscal year 2008.
In November 2007, the Company acquired ViaCell, Inc. (ViaCell), which specializes in the collection, testing, processing and preservation of umbilical cord blood stem cells. Following the ViaCell acquisition, the Board of Directors (the Board) approved a plan to sell the ViaCyte SM and Cellular Therapy Technology businesses that were acquired with ViaCell. The Company determined that both businesses do not strategically fit with the other products offered by the Human Health segment. The Company also determined that without investing capital into the operations of both businesses, the Company could not effectively compete with larger companies that focus on the market for such products. After careful consideration, the Company decided in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 to shut down the ViaCyteSM and Cellular Therapy Technology businesses. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $8.0 million for severance and facility closure costs during fiscal year 2008 and recorded an additional pre-tax loss of $2.4 million related to facility closure costs during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Note 12: Stock Plans
In addition to the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company formerly had three stock-based compensation plans under which the Companys common stock was made available for stock option grants, restricted stock awards, and stock grants as part of the Companys compensation programs (the Prior Plans). The Prior Plans are described in more detail in the Companys definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 20, 2009 and Note 20 to the Companys consolidated financial statements included in the Companys 2008 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2009. On April 28, 2009, the Companys shareholders approved the 2009 Incentive Plan (the 2009 Plan), which is described in more detail in the Companys definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 20, 2009. Under the 2009 Plan, 10.0 million shares of the Companys common stock are authorized for stock option grants, restricted stock awards, and stock grants as part of the Companys compensation programs. The 2009 Plan replaced the Amended and Restated 2001 Incentive Plan and the 2005 Incentive Plan. In addition, upon shareholder approval of the 2009 Plan, the Company will no longer grant awards under its Amended and Restated Life Sciences Incentive Plan. Awards granted under these prior plans, prior to the approval of the 2009 Plan, remain outstanding.
For the three months ended April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008, the total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for the cost of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and stock grants was $3.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated income statements for stock-based compensation was $0.9 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively. Stock-based compensation costs capitalized as part of inventory were approximately $0.3 million as of both April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008.
Stock Options: The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Companys weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock awards granted during the three months ended March 30, 2008 was $25.00. The total compensation expense recognized related to these stock awards was approximately $16.7 thousand for the three months ended March 30, 2008.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan: During the three months ended April 5, 2009, the Company issued 80,101 shares of common stock under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a weighted-average price of $13.22 per share. At April 5, 2009 there remained available for sale to employees an aggregate of 1.5 million shares of the Companys common stock out of the 5.0 million shares authorized by shareholders for issuance under this plan.
Stock Repurchase Program: On October 23, 2008, the Company announced that the Board has authorized the Company to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the Repurchase Program). The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless this authorization is terminated earlier by the Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company repurchased 1,000,000 shares of its common stock in the open market at an
20
Table of Contents
aggregate cost of $14.2 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. Approximately 8.0 million shares of the Companys common stock remain available for repurchase from the 10.0 million shares authorized by the Board under the Repurchase Program. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
The Board has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to the Companys equity incentive plans. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company repurchased 27,102 shares of common stock for this purpose. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
Note 13: Goodwill and Intangible Assets
SFAS No. 142 requires that the Company test goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets, at least annually, for possible impairment. Accordingly, the Company completes the annual testing of impairment for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets on the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year. In addition to its annual test, the Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may indicate a potential impairment of goodwill or non-amortizing intangible assets.
As discussed in Note 10, the Company realigned its organization into two new operating segments at the beginning of fiscal year 2009. In conjunction with the realignment of its operating segments, the Company also redefined its reporting units based on the new alignment of its operating segments. Financial information in this report relating to the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes in the Companys operating segments. The Companys segment management reviews the results of the operations one level below its operating segments. The Company has determined that the reporting units that should be used to test goodwill for impairment are the analytical sciences and laboratory services business, illumination and detection solutions business, genetic screening business, bio-discovery business and medical imaging business. The discounted cash flow model (the DCF model) was used to determine the fair values of each of the reporting units in order to allocate goodwill on a relative fair value basis in accordance with SFAS No. 142.
The process of testing goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the applicable reporting units. The test consists of a two-step process. The first step is the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The second step measures the amount of an impairment loss, and is only performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performed its annual impairment testing for its reporting units as of January 1, 2009, its annual impairment date, and concluded based on the first step of the process that there was no goodwill impairment.
The Company has consistently employed the DCF model to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of goodwill. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including markets and market share, sales volumes and prices, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rate, and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts are based on approved business unit operating plans for the early years cash flows and historical relationships in later years. The DCF model is sensitive to changes in long-term terminal growth rates and the discount rate. The long-term terminal growth rates are consistent with the Companys historical long-term terminal growth rates, as the current economic trends are not expected to affect the long-term terminal growth rates of the Company. In fiscal year 2009, the terminal growth rate for the Companys reporting units was between 5.0% to 7.5%. The range for the discount rate for the reporting units was 10.5% to 11.5%. Keeping all other variables constant, a 5.0% to 10.0% change in any one of the input assumptions for the various reporting units would still allow the Company to conclude, based on the first step of the process, that there was no impairment of goodwill.

The Company has consistently employed the Relief from Royalty model to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the non-amortizing intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a non-amortizing intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. In addition, the Company currently evaluates the remaining useful life of its non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If events or circumstances indicate that the useful lives of non-amortizing intangible assets are no longer indefinite, the assets will be tested for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142. These intangible assets will then be amortized prospectively over their estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization. The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of January 1, 2009, its annual impairment date, and concluded that there was no impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period ended April 5, 2009 from December 28, 2008 are as follows:

Note 16: Settlement of Insurance Claim
During fiscal year 2007, the Company settled an insurance claim resulting from a fire that occurred at its facility in Boston, Massachusetts in March 2005. In connection with the settlement, the Company accrued $9.7 million representing its managements estimate of the total cost for decommissioning the building, including environmental matters, that was damaged in the fire. The Company paid $1.6 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2009, $1.6 million during fiscal year 2008 and $3.9 million during fiscal year 2007 towards decommissioning the building. The Company anticipates that the remaining payments of $2.6 million will be completed by the end of fiscal year 2009.
Note 17: Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as of December 31, 2007, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that was delayed by FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which the
23
Table of Contents
Company adopted as of December 29, 2008. As of April 5, 2009, the Company does not have any significant non-recurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The Company also adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159) as of December 31, 2007. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in earnings. The Company has not elected to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value.
Valuation Hierarchy: SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard to measure fair value: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities based on the Companys assumptions. A financial assets or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.
The following table shows the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis at April 5, 2009 classified in one of the three classifications described above:

Valuation Techniques: The Companys Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities are comprised of investments in equity and fixed-income securities as well as derivative contracts. For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including common stock price quotes, foreign exchange forward prices, and bank price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities.
Marketable securities |
Include equity and fixed-income securities measured at fair value using the quoted market prices at the reporting date. | |
Foreign exchange derivative assets |
Include foreign exchange derivative contracts that are valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. |
As of April 5, 2009, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of the Companys derivative liabilities due to its credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to the Companys derivative assets based on the evaluation of its counterparties credit risks.
Note 18: Derivatives and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, which requires entities to provide enhanced disclosure about how and why the entity uses derivative instruments, how the instruments and related hedged items are
24
Table of Contents
accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and how the instruments and related hedged items affect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the entity. The Company adopted SFAS No. 161 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its risk management strategy only, and includes derivatives utilized as economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does the Company use leveraged financial instruments. Approximately 60% of the Companys business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. The fluctuations in foreign currency can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. The intent of these economic hedges is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures from these currencies, with gains and losses resulting from the forward contracts that hedge these exposures.
Principal hedged currencies include the British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), and Singapore Dollar (SGD). The Company held forward foreign exchange contracts with U.S. equivalent notional amounts totaling $108.5 million and $123.0 million as of April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively. The fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The gains and losses realized on foreign currency derivative contracts are not material and the duration of these contracts was generally 30 days during both fiscal years 2009 and 2008.
By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. The Company enters into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and has policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties.
Note 19: Contingencies
The Company is conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at current and former locations of the Company and, along with other companies, has been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) for certain waste disposal sites. The Company accrues for environmental issues in the accounting period that the Companys responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. The Company has accrued $4.4 million as of April 5, 2009, which represents managements estimate of the total cost of ultimate disposition of known environmental matters. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where the Company has been named a PRP, management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. The Company expects that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had or are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, Enzo) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. The complaint alleges that the Company has breached its distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzos patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzos patented products and technology,
25
Table of Contents
separately and together with the other defendants. Enzo seeks injunctive and monetary relief. In 2003, the court severed the lawsuit and ordered Enzo to serve individual complaints against the five defendants. The Company subsequently filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzos patents are invalid. In July 2006, the court issued a decision regarding the construction of the claims in Enzos patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, the Company believes, excludes certain of the Companys products from the coverage of Enzos patents. Summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants in January 2007, and a hearing with oral argument on those motions took place in July 2007. On March 16, 2009, the summary judgment motions were denied without prejudice and the case was stayed until the federal appellate court decides Enzos appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc., which involves a number of the same patents.
PharmaStem Therapeutics, Inc. (PharmaStem) filed a complaint dated February 22, 2002 against ViaCell, Inc., which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and several other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of United States Patents No. 5,004,681 and No. 5,192,553, relating to certain aspects of the collection, cryopreservation and storage of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells from umbilical cord blood (PharmaStem I). After several years of proceedings at the District Court level, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision in July 2007 that ViaCell did not infringe these two patents and that the two patents are invalid. PharmaStem filed a certiorari petition in January 2008 seeking to have the United States Supreme Court review the appellate courts decision as to the invalidity of the patents, but did not seek any further review of the non-infringement decision. However, the United States Supreme Court denied certiorari in March 2008, so the decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in favor of ViaCell is final and non-appealable. PharmaStem had also filed a second complaint against ViaCell and other defendants in July 2004 in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, alleging infringement of United States Patents No. 6,461,645 and 6,569,427, which also relate to certain aspects of the collection, cryopreservation and storage of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells from umbilical cord blood (PharmaStem II). The Delaware court granted ViaCells motion in October 2005 to stay the proceedings in PharmaStem II pending the outcome of PharmaStem I and a decision from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (U.S. PTO) on certain patent re-examination issues. On September 2, 2008, the U.S. PTO issued a Re-examination Certificate cancelling all claims of United States Patent No. 6,461,645, and on September 16, 2008, the U.S. PTO issued a Re-examination Certificate cancelling all claims of United States Patent No. 6,569,427. As a result of the cancellation of all patent claims involved in PharmaStem II by the U.S. PTO, the Company will seek a dismissal of all claims for relief set forth by PharmaStem in PharmaStem II.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to these lawsuits and other proceedings, and it is contesting the actions vigorously in all of the above unresolved matters. While each of these matters is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of the Companys management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company is also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Although the Company has established accruals for potential losses that it believes are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of the Companys management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at April 5, 2009 should not have a material adverse effect on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including the following managements discussion and analysis, contains forward-looking information that you should read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements that we have included elsewhere in this report. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as believes, plans, anticipates, intends, expects, will and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the plans, intentions or expectations we disclose in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors below under the heading Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A. that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. We are not obligated to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
We are a leading provider of technology, services and solutions to the diagnostics, research, environmental monitoring, safety and security, and laboratory services markets. Through our advanced technologies, applications, and services, we address critical issues that help to improve the health and safety of people and their environment.
We announced a new alignment of our businesses to allow us to prioritize our capabilities on two key strategic operating areas Human Health and Environmental Health. We reorganized into these two new operating segments to align our resources to meet the demands of the markets we serve and to focus on the important outcomes enabled by our technologies. This new alignment became effective at the start of our fiscal year 2009. The results reported for this quarter reflect this new alignment of our operating segments. Financial information in this report relating to the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes in our operating segments. In conjunction with the realignment of our operating segments, we also redefined the reporting units we use to test for the impairment of goodwill related to our businesses. We performed our annual impairment testing as of January 1, 2009, our annual impairment date for our reporting units, and based on the first step of the process we concluded that there was no goodwill impairment.
Human Health
Our new Human Health segment concentrates on developing diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect disease earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. Within the Human Health segment, we serve both the diagnostics and research markets. The Human Health segment includes our products and services that address the genetic screening and bio-discovery markets, formerly in our Life and Analytical Sciences segment, and our technology serving the medical imaging market, formerly in our Optoelectronics segment. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, our Human Health segment generated sales of $177.3 million.
Diagnostics Market:
We provide early detection for genetic disorders from pre-conception to early childhood as well as medical imaging for the diagnostics market. We provide early and accurate insights into the health of expectant mothers during pregnancy and their newborns. Our instruments, reagents and software test and screen for disorders and diseases, including Down syndrome, infertility, anemia and diabetes. Our medical imaging detectors are used to enable doctors to make faster and more accurate diagnosis of conditions ranging from broken bones to reduced blood flow in vascular systems. In addition, our detectors improve oncology treatments by focusing radiation directly at the tumors.

Overview of the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2009
Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. We report fiscal years under a 52/53 week format, and as a result certain fiscal years will contain 53 weeks. Our 2009 fiscal year will include 53 weeks, whereas our 2008 fiscal year included 52 weeks. This additional week has been reflected in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, which had 14 weeks compared to 13 weeks in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Table of Contents
The widespread nature of the current global economic contraction has continued the deterioration for a few of our end markets during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009; however several of our end markets performed better than we anticipated. Our overall sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 declined $27.1 million, or 6%, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, reflecting a decline of $2.8 million, or 2%, in our Human Health segment sales and a decline of $24.3 million, or 9%, in our Environmental Health segment sales. The decline in our Human Health segment sales is due primarily to the decreased demand for our medical imaging products, which has resulted from constraints on medical providers capital budgets and a lack of financing availability. The decline in our Environmental Health segment sales is due primarily to private testing labs reducing capital purchases in response to lower demand and tight credit markets.
However, these declines have been offset in part by certain of our businesses operating in markets which are more isolated from current economic trends, or where our businesses have benefited from a push for more efficient spending, new opportunities from government regulations or possible future research spending. In our Human Health segment, we experienced strong growth in sales to the research market, including sales of our products to academic and clinical labs, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 as compared to that market in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. We believe that, unlike the overall economy, the research market has stabilized and may potentially provide the opportunity for increased growth later in this fiscal year as funding from various government stimulus packages are directed towards specific areas of research. We also saw an increase in sales to the diagnostics market related to our genetic screening business during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 as compared to that market in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. As the rising cost of healthcare continues to be one of the critical issues contributing to the economic downturn, we anticipate that while there is continued pressure on lab budgets, we may see growth in our newborn screening business later this fiscal year as the benefits of providing earlier detection of disease, which can result in savings of long-term health care cost as well as creating better outcomes for patients, are increasingly valued.
In our Environmental Health segment, our laboratory services business enables our customers to drive efficiencies, increase production time and reduce maintenance costs, all of which are increasingly critical in this weakened economic environment. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we added a number of new customers to our OneSource multivendor service and continued to gain good momentum for that program in markets beyond our traditional customer base. In addition, the strong growth from OneSource more than offset the opposing trend we have seen of customers deferring maintenance spending for analytical instruments. The increase in sales to the laboratory service market partially offset decreased sales to the environmental, safety and security and industrial markets. While overall sales to the safety and security market was driven down by the decline in spending in the pharmaceutical market, sales of consumer and food testing products grew in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 due to increased demand for mercury, lead and pesticide testing as well as to new testing requirements for consumer product safety applications.
We experienced 167 basis points of expansion in gross margins for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. This expansion was driven primarily by productivity improvements and product mix, especially growth in higher gross margin product offerings. However, our consolidated operating profit declined approximately 23% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, primarily related to the adverse impact of the $7.8 million of restructuring charges, primarily in headcount, taken during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 in anticipation of decreasing demand in certain end markets.
We believe we are well positioned to continue to take advantage of our end markets where spending trends have countered the prevailing downturn, and to promote our efficiencies in markets where current conditions may increase demand for certain services. Overall, we believe that our strategic focus on Human Health and Environmental Health coupled with our breadth of end markets, deep portfolio of technologies and applications, leading market positions, global scale and financial strength will provide us with a strong foundation to weather the current economic climate.

Acquisitions:
Acquisition of Analytica of Branford, Inc. In May 2009, we acquired the outstanding stock of Analytica of Branford, Inc. (Analytica). Analytica is a leading developer of mass spectrometry and ion source technology. We expect this acquisition to allow us to offer our customers access to critical technologies such as time-of-flight and quadrupole mass spectrometers and new ion sources that provide more complete information as well as better throughput. We will also gain significant intellectual property in the field of mass spectrometry and ion source technology. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to us as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired. We paid the shareholders of Analytica approximately $24.0 million in cash for this acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets will be allocated to goodwill, which may be tax deductible if elected by us. We expect to report the operations for this acquisition within the results of our Environmental Health segment from the acquisition date.
Acquisition of Opto Technology Inc. In January 2009, we acquired the outstanding stock of Opto Technology Inc. (Opto Technology). Opto Technology is a supplier of light-emitting diode based lighting components and subsystems. We expect this acquisition to expand our portfolio of high brightness LED components by adding optical subsystems to provide energy efficient solid state lighting solutions to original equipment manufacturers. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to us as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the customer base acquired. We paid the shareholders of Opto Technology approximately $20.6 million in cash for this acquisition plus $8.0 million in potential additional contingent consideration, of which we recorded $4.9 million as the fair value at the acquisition date. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we received approximately $0.2 million from the former shareholders of Opto Technology for net working capital adjustments. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. We report the operations for this acquisition within the results of our Environmental Health segment from the acquisition date.
Leadership transition:
On April 28, 2009, our Board of Directors (our Board) elected Frank Anders Wilson to serve as our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and Senior Vice President, effective as of Mr. Wilsons assumption of his responsibilities and commencement of his employment in May 2009. Mr. Wilson joins us after 12 years at Danaher Corporation (Danaher), a leading industrial company, where he served as Corporate Vice President of Investor Relations since 2003. From 1997 to 2003, Mr. Wilson also held several other senior management positions with Danaher. Prior to joining Danaher, Mr. Wilson worked for AlliedSignal Inc. from 1994 to 1997 where he last served as Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Commercial Aviations Systems. Mr. Wilson holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in accounting from Baylor University. Mr. Wilson is also a Certified Public Accountant.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring, pensions and other post-retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, warranty costs, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Table of Contents
Critical accounting policies are those policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe our critical accounting policies include our policies regarding revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, business combinations, value of long-lived assets, including intangibles, employee compensation and benefits, restructuring activities, gains or losses on dispositions and income taxes.
For a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) (the 2008 Form 10-K).
Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations
Sales
Sales for the three months ended April 5, 2009 were $431.6 million, as compared to $458.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of $27.1 million, or 6%, which includes an approximate 7% decrease in sales attributable to unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates and an approximate 1% increase from acquisitions. The three months ended April 5, 2009 had 14 weeks compared to 13 weeks for the three months ended March 30, 2008. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares segment sales for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2008 and includes the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. The total decrease in sales reflects a $2.8 million, or 2%, decrease in our Human Health segment sales, due to a decrease in diagnostics market sales of $5.9 million, which was partially offset by an increase in research market sales of $3.1 million. Our Environmental Health segment sales decreased $24.3 million, or 9%, primarily due to decreases in environmental, safety and security and industrial markets sales of $26.5 million, which was partially offset by an increase in laboratory services market sales of $2.2 million.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended April 5, 2009 was $243.6 million, as compared to $266.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately $23.0 million, or 9%. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales decreased to 56.4% for the three months ended April 5, 2009, from 58.1% for the three months ended March 30, 2008, resulting in an increase in gross margin of 167 basis points to 43.6% for the three months ended April 5, 2009, from 41.9% for the three months ended March 30, 2008. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $8.8 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. Stock option expense was $0.3 million for both the three months ended April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2009 was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009. The increase in gross margin was primarily the result of the combined favorable impact of productivity improvements and product mix, especially growth in higher gross margin products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 5, 2009 were $128.4 million as compared to $130.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately $2.4 million, or 2%. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 29.8% for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as compared to 28.5% for the three months ended March 30, 2008. Amortization of intangible assets was $4.2 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. Stock option expense was $1.6 million for both the three months ended April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008. Purchase accounting adjustments for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs related to certain acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2009 were approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, and increased pension expenses, offset by foreign exchange.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended April 5, 2009 were $26.0 million as compared to $27.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 7%. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses were flat for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2008. Amortization of intangible assets was $0.5 million for both the three months ended April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008. Research and development expenses also included stock option expense of $0.1 million for both the three months ended April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008. We directed research and development efforts similarly during fiscal years 2009 and 2008, primarily toward the diagnostics and research markets within our Human Health segment, and the environmental and safety and security markets within our Environmental Health segment, in order to help accelerate our growth initiatives.
Restructuring and Lease Charges, Net
We have undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and the integration of our business units. Restructuring actions were recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
A description of the restructuring plans and the activity recorded for the three months ended April 5, 2009 is listed below. Details of the plans initiated in previous years, particularly those listed under Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans, are discussed more fully in Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2008 Form 10-K.
The restructuring plan for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was principally to reduce resources in anticipation of decreasing demand in certain end markets. The restructuring plan for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 was principally to shift resources into geographic regions and product lines that are more consistent with our growth strategy. The activities associated with these plans have been reported as restructuring expenses as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations. We expect the impact of immediate cost savings from the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 restructuring plan on operating results and cash flows to approximately offset the decline in revenue. We expect the impact of future cost savings from these restructuring activities on operating results and cash flows to be negligible, as we will incur offsetting costs.
Q1 2009 Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, our management approved a plan to reduce resources in anticipation of decreasing demand in certain end markets (the Q1 2009 Plan). As a result of the Q1 2009 Plan, we recognized a $3.0 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of an excess facility. We also recognized a $4.8 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of an excess facility. All actions related to the Q1 2009 Plan were completed by April 5, 2009.
The following table summarizes the Q1 2009 Plan activity for the three months ended April 5, 2009:

All employee relationships have been severed and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $6.1 million for workforce reductions will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. We also anticipate that the remaining payments of $0.4 million for the closure of the excess facility will be paid through fiscal year 2012, in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases.
Q3 2008 Plan
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, our management approved a plan to shift resources into product lines that are more consistent with our growth strategy (the Q3 2008 Plan). As a result of the Q3 2008 Plan, we recognized a $3.3 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facilities. We also recognized a $4.5 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facilities. All actions related to the Q3 2008 Plan were completed by September 28, 2008.

All employee relationships have been severed and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $1.7 million for workforce reductions will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. We also anticipate that the remaining payments of $1.0 million for the closure of the excess facilities will be paid through fiscal year 2011, in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases.
Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from fiscal years 2001 through 2007 were workforce reductions related to the integration of our businesses in order to reduce costs and achieve operational efficiencies as well as workforce reductions in both the Environmental Health and Human Health segments by shifting resources into geographic regions and product lines that are more consistent with our growth strategy. During the three months ended April 5, 2009, we paid $0.2 million related to these plans. As of April 5, 2009, we had approximately $1.7 million of remaining liabilities associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily relating to remaining lease obligations related to those closed facilities in both the Environmental Health and Human Health segments. The remaining terms of these leases vary in length and will be paid through fiscal year 2011.
Lease Charges
To facilitate the sale of a business in fiscal year 2001, we were required to guarantee the obligations that the buyer of the business assumed related to the lease for the building in which the business operates. The lease obligations continue through March 2011. While we assigned our interest in the lease to the buyer at the time of the sale of the business, in the event the buyer defaults under the lease, we are responsible for all remaining lease payments and certain other building related expenses. During fiscal year 2007, the lessor of the building began the process to evict the buyer as a result of unpaid lease payments and building expenses and sought reimbursement from us. We recorded a charge of $2.7 million related to payments for this lease obligation. The buyer filed for bankruptcy protection on October 27, 2008 and was delinquent in making both its lease payments

and payments for certain building expenses, requiring us to make payments of $0.4 million during fiscal year 2008. In addition, we made payments of $0.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. As of April 5, 2009, we are still responsible for the remaining accrual of $2.0 million, which relates to the remaining lease and building obligations through March 2011, reduced by estimated sublease rentals reasonably expected to be obtained for the property.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net consisted of the following:

Interest and other expense, net for the three months ended April 5, 2009 was $4.8 million as compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease in interest and other expense, net, for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2008 was primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding debt balances, which was partially offset by the increase in the amount of fixed rate debt and lower interest rates on cash balances. Interest expense decreased $1.7 million and interest income decreased $0.9 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2008. Other expenses for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2008 decreased by $0.5 million, and consisted primarily of expenses related to foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translation. A more complete discussion of our liquidity is set forth below under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended April 5, 2009, the provision for income taxes from continuing operations was $5.8 million, as compared to a provision of $7.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 28.0% for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as compared to 26.3% for the three months ended March 30, 2008. The higher effective tax rate in fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to an increase in the expected mix of profits from higher tax rate jurisdictions as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2008.
Discontinued Operations
As part of our continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, we have discontinued certain businesses. We have accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, and, accordingly, have presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of these businesses have been presented separately, and are reflected within the assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 5, 2009 and December 28, 2008.

As part of our new strategic business alignment into the Human Health and Environmental Health segments and our continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, in December 2008, our management approved separate plans to divest our Photonics and Photoflash businesses within the Environmental Health segment. Photonics and Photoflash products and technologies include xenon flashtubes and modules. These products are used in a variety of applications including mobile phones and laser machine tools. We are actively marketing and are currently committed to a plan to sell both of these businesses.
In addition, during December 2008, our management approved the shut down of certain instrument businesses within the Human Health segment: Cellular Screening Fluorescence and Luminescence workstations, Analytical Proteomics Instruments and Proteomics and Genomics Instruments. The shut down of the Cellular Screening Fluorescence and Luminescence workstations business, the Analytical Proteomics Instruments business, and the Proteomics and Genomics Instruments business resulted in a pre-tax loss of $4.8 million related to lease and severance costs and the reduction of fixed assets and inventory to net realizable value during fiscal year 2008.
In November 2007, we acquired ViaCell, Inc. (ViaCell), which specializes in the collection, testing, processing and preservation of umbilical cord blood stem cells. Following the ViaCell acquisition, our Board approved a plan to sell the ViaCyte SM and Cellular Therapy Technology businesses that were acquired with ViaCell. We determined that both businesses do not strategically fit with the other products offered by the Human Health segment. We also determined that without investing capital into the operations of both businesses, we could not effectively compete with larger companies that focus on the market for such products. After careful consideration, we decided in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 to shut down the ViaCyteSM and Cellular Therapy Technology businesses. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $8.0 million for severance and facility closure costs during fiscal year 2008 and recorded an additional pre-tax loss of $2.4 million related to facility closure costs during the first three months of fiscal year 2009.

Contingencies, Including Tax Matters
We are conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at our current and former locations and, along with other companies, have been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) for certain waste disposal sites. We accrue for environmental issues in the accounting period that our responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. We have accrued $4.4 million as of April 5, 2009, which represents our managements estimate of the total cost of ultimate disposition of known environmental matters. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where we have been named a PRP, our management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. We expect that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had or are expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, Enzo) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. The complaint alleges that we have breached our distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzos patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzos patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. Enzo seeks injunctive and monetary relief. In 2003, the court severed the lawsuit and ordered Enzo to serve individual complaints against the five defendants. We subsequently filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzos patents are invalid. In July 2006, the court issued a decision regarding the construction of the claims in Enzos patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, we believe, excludes certain of our products from the coverage of Enzos patents. Summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants in January 2007, and a hearing with oral argument on those motions took place in July 2007. On March 16, 2009, the summary judgment motions were denied without prejudice and the case was stayed until the federal appellate court decides Enzos appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc., which involves a number of the same patents.
PharmaStem Therapeutics, Inc. (PharmaStem) filed a complaint dated February 22, 2002 against ViaCell, Inc., which is now our wholly owned subsidiary, and several other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of United States Patents No. 5,004,681 and No. 5,192,553, relating to certain aspects of the collection, cryopreservation and storage of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells from umbilical cord blood (PharmaStem I). After several years of proceedings at the District Court level, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision in July 2007 that ViaCell did not infringe these two patents and that the two patents are invalid. PharmaStem filed a certiorari petition in January 2008 seeking to have the United States Supreme Court review the appellate courts decision as to the invalidity of the patents, but did not seek any further review of the non-infringement decision. However, the United States Supreme Court denied certiorari in March 2008, so the decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in favor of ViaCell is final and non-appealable. PharmaStem had also filed a second complaint against ViaCell and other defendants in July 2004 in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, alleging infringement of United States Patents No. 6,461,645 and 6,569,427, which also relate to certain aspects of the collection, cryopreservation and storage of hematopoietic stem cells and

progenitor cells from umbilical cord blood (PharmaStem II). The Delaware court granted ViaCells motion in October 2005 to stay the proceedings in PharmaStem II pending the outcome of PharmaStem I and a decision from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (U.S. PTO) on certain patent re-examination issues. On September 2, 2008, the U.S. PTO issued a Re-examination Certificate cancelling all claims of United States Patent No. 6,461,645, and on September 16, 2008, the U.S. PTO issued a Re-examination Certificate cancelling all claims of United States Patent No. 6,569,427. As a result of the cancellation of all patent claims involved in PharmaStem II by the U.S. PTO, we will seek a dismissal of all claims for relief set forth by PharmaStem in PharmaStem II.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to these lawsuits and other proceedings, and we are contesting the actions vigorously in all of the above unresolved matters. While each of these matters is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Tax years ranging from 1998 through 2008 remain open to examination by various state and foreign tax jurisdictions (such as China, Indonesia, the Philippines and the United Kingdom) in which we have significant business operations. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. We regularly review our tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating our unrecognized tax benefits as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN No. 48), which we adopted as of January 1, 2007. Adjustments are made to our unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in managements judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position.
We are also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although we have established accruals for potential losses that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at April 5, 2009 should not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to us.
Reporting Segment Results of Continuing Operations
Human Health
Sales for the three months ended April 5, 2009 were $177.3 million, as compared to $180.1 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 2%, which includes an approximate 7% decrease in sales attributable to unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates and an approximate 1% increase from acquisitions. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected sales by product type for the three months ended April 5, 2009, as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2008, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The decrease in sales was primarily a result of a decrease in diagnostics market sales of $5.9 million, which was partially offset by an increase in research market sales of $3.1 million. The decline in our Human Health segment sales is due primarily to the decreased demand for our medical imaging products, which has resulted from constraints on medical providers capital budgets and a lack of financing availability.
Operating income for the three months ended April 5, 2009 was $12.7 million, as compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008, an increase of $0.9 million, or 7%. Amortization of intangible assets was $9.8 million and $9.9 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively. Restructuring and lease charges were $4.8 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as a result of our Q1 2009 Plan. The favorable impact of productivity improvements and product mix, especially growth in higher

gross margin products, increased operating income, which was partially offset by increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, and increased pension expenses.
Environmental Health
Sales for the three months ended April 5, 2009 were $254.3 million, as compared to $278.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of $24.3 million, or 9%, which includes an approximate 7% decrease in sales attributable to unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates and an approximate 2% increase from acquisitions. The following analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected sales by market and product type for the three months ended April 5, 2009, as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2008, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The decrease in sales was primarily a result of a decrease in environmental, safety and security and industrial markets sales of $26.5 million, which was partially offset by an increase in laboratory services market sales of $2.2 million. The decline in our Environmental Health segment sales is due primarily to private testing labs reducing capital purchases in response to lower demand and tight credit markets.
Operating income for the three months ended April 5, 2009 was $20.6 million, as compared to $31.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of $11.0 million, or 35%. Amortization of intangible assets was $3.6 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009, as compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. Restructuring and lease charges were $3.0 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009 as a result of our Q1 2009 Plan. Purchase accounting adjustments for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs related to certain acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2009 were approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2009 was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009. The combined unfavorable impact of decreased sales volume, increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, and increased pension expenses decreased operating income, which was partially offset by productivity improvements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require cash to pay our operating expenses, make capital expenditures, make acquisitions, service our debt and other long-term liabilities, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends on our common stock. Our principal sources of funds are from our operations and the capital markets, particularly the debt markets. In the near term, we anticipate that our operations will generate sufficient cash to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures, interest payments on our debt and dividends on our common stock. In the long term, we expect to use internally generated funds and external sources to satisfy our debt and other long-term liabilities.
Principal factors that could affect the availability of our internally generated funds include:
| deterioration of sales due to weakness in markets in which we sell our products and services, and |
| changes in our working capital requirements. |
Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:
| financial covenants contained in the financial instruments controlling our borrowings that limit our total borrowing capacity, |
| increases in interest rates applicable to our outstanding variable rate debt, |
| a ratings downgrade that would limit our ability to borrow under our accounts receivable and amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our overall access to the corporate debt market, |
38
Table of Contents
| increases in interest rates or credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit, that affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis, |
| a decrease in the market price for our common stock, and |
| volatility in the public debt and equity markets. |
On October 23, 2008, we announced that our Board has authorized us to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of our common stock under a stock repurchase program (the Repurchase Program). The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless this authorization is terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we repurchased 1,000,000 shares of our common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $14.2 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
Our Board has authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we repurchased 27,102 shares of our common stock for this purpose. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
At April 5, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $162.0 million and an amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility with $242.0 million available for additional borrowing.
In connection with the settlement of an insurance claim resulting from a fire that occurred at our facility in Boston, Massachusetts in March 2005, we accrued $9.7 million during fiscal year 2007, representing our managements estimate of the total cost for decommissioning the building, including environmental matters, that was damaged in the fire. We paid $1.6 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2009, $1.6 million during fiscal year 2008 and $3.9 million during fiscal year 2007 towards decommissioning the building. We anticipate that the remaining payments of $2.6 million will be completed by the end of fiscal year 2009.
Our businesses have not been materially affected by weakening economic conditions in the global financial markets and the economy in general. However, recent distress in these markets has adversely impacted financial markets by severely diminishing liquidity and credit availability, creating extreme volatility in security prices, widening credit spreads, and decreasing valuations of certain investments. The widening credit spreads may create a less favorable environment for certain of our businesses and may affect the fair value of financial instruments that we issue or hold. Increases in credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit at rates we consider to be reasonable, could affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis, which may adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations.
Our pension plans have not experienced any material impact on liquidity or counterparty exposure due to the volatility in the credit markets; however, as a result of losses experienced in global equity markets, our pension funds had a negative return for fiscal year 2008 and first quarter of fiscal year 2009, which in turn created increased pension costs in fiscal year 2009 and potentially in additional future periods. In addition, we may be required to fund our pension plans with a contribution of approximately $18.0 million by fiscal year 2010, and we could potentially have to make additional funding payments in future periods. We cannot predict how long these conditions will exist or how our businesses may be affected. In difficult global financial markets, we may be forced to fund our operations at a higher cost, or we may be unable to raise as much funding as we need to support our business activities.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by continuing operations was $18.8 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009, as compared to net cash provided by continuing operations of $24.9 million for the three
39
Table of Contents
months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of $6.0 million. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended April 5, 2009 was driven by a decrease of $10.0 million in our accounts receivable securitization facility during the first three months ended April 5, 2009, which totaled $30.0 million and $40.0 million at April 5, 2009 and December 28, 2008, respectively. Depreciation and amortization was $21.6 million, income from continuing operations was $15.1 million, and restructuring and lease charges were $7.8 million. These amounts were partially offset by a net increase in working capital of $12.9 million. Contributing to the net increase in working capital for the three months ended April 5, 2009, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, was a decrease in accounts payable of $20.8 million and an increase in inventory of $12.5 million, which was offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $20.4 million, which included the reduction in the accounts receivable securitization of $10.0 million. The increase in inventory was primarily the result of expanding the amount of inventory held at sales locations within our Environmental Health and Human Health segments to improve timing of sales. The decrease in accounts payable was a result of the timing of disbursements during the first three months of fiscal year 2009. The decrease in accounts receivable was a result of lower sales volume, as well as strong performance in accounts receivable collections during the first three months of fiscal year 2009. Changes in accrued expenses, other assets and liabilities and other items, net, totaled $12.8 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009, and primarily related to the timing of payments for tax, restructuring and salary and benefits.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in continuing operations investing activities was $32.5 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009, as compared to $82.2 million of cash used in continuing operations investing activities for the three months ended March 30, 2008. For the three months ended April 5, 2009, we used $20.6 million of net cash for acquisitions and we used $7.7 million in related transaction costs, earn-out payments, acquired licenses and other costs in connection with these and other transactions. Capital expenditures for the three months ended April 5, 2009 were $5.6 million, mainly in the areas of tooling and other capital equipment purchases. These cash outflows were partially offset by $1.4 million related to the release of restricted cash balances.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by continuing operations financing activities was $10.9 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009, as compared to $41.4 million provided by continuing operations financing activities for the three months ended March 30, 2008. For the three months ended April 5, 2009, we repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock, including 27,102 shares to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $14.6 million. This compares to repurchases of 17,549 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. This use of cash was offset by proceeds from common stock option exercises of $0.3 million, offset by the related tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended April 5, 2009. During the three months ended April 5, 2009, debt borrowings from our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaled $105.0 million, which was offset by debt reductions of $71.6 million. This compares to debt borrowings from our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $355.0 million, which was offset by debt reductions of $305.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. We also paid $8.2 million in dividends during the three months ended April 5, 2009.
Borrowing Arrangements
Amended Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On August 13, 2007, we entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility providing for a facility through August 13, 2012, which amended and restated in its entirety our previous senior revolving credit agreement dated as of October 31, 2005. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we exercised our option to increase the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility to $650.0 million from $500.0 million. Letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $14.0 million were issued under the previous facility, which are treated as issued under the amended facility. We use the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share repurchases,
40
Table of Contents
acquisitions and strategic alliances. The interest rates under the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility are based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin or the base rate from time to time. The base rate is the higher of (i) the corporate base rate announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. and (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. We may allocate all or a portion of our indebtedness under the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility to interest based upon the Eurocurrency rate plus a margin or the base rate. The Eurocurrency margin as of April 5, 2009 was 40 basis points. The weighted average Eurocurrency interest rate as of April 5, 2009 was 0.51%, resulting in a weighted average effective Eurocurrency rate, including the margin, of 0.91%. We had drawn down approximately $394.0 million of borrowings in U.S. Dollars under the facility as of April 5, 2009, with interest based on the above described Eurocurrency rate. The agreement for the facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type, which are consistent with those financial covenants contained in our previous senior revolving credit agreement. The financial covenants in our amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility include debt-to-capital ratios and a contingent maximum total leverage ratio, applicable if our credit rating is down-graded below investment grade. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of April 5, 2009, and anticipate being in compliance for the duration of the term of the credit facility.
6% Senior Unsecured Notes. On May 30, 2008, we issued and sold seven-year senior notes at a rate of 6% with a face value of $150.0 million and received $150.0 million in gross proceeds from the issuance. The debt, which matures in May 2015, is unsecured. Interest on the 6% senior notes is payable semi-annually on May 30th and November 30th. We may redeem some or all of our 6% senior notes at any time in an amount not less than 10% of the original aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the applicable make-whole amount. The financial covenants in our 6% senior notes include debt-to-capital ratios which, if our credit rating is down-graded below investment grade, would be replaced by a contingent maximum total leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of April 5, 2009, and anticipate being in compliance for the duration of the term of the notes.
We entered into forward interest rate contracts that were intended to hedge movements in interest rates prior to our expected debt issuance. In May 2008, we settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of our 6% senior unsecured notes. We did not recognize any ineffectiveness related to these cash flow hedges. We recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges. As of April 5, 2009, the balance remaining in other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges was $7.4 million, net of taxes of $4.8 million. The derivative losses are amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. We amortized into interest expense $0.5 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2009 and $1.2 million during fiscal year 2008 for these derivative losses.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Receivables Securitization Facility
During fiscal year 2001, we established a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary to maintain a receivables purchase agreement with a third-party financial institution. Under this arrangement, we sold, on a revolving basis, certain of our accounts receivable balances to the consolidated subsidiary which simultaneously sold an undivided percentage ownership interest in designated pools of receivables to a third-party financial institution. As collections reduce the balance of sold accounts receivable, new receivables are sold. Our consolidated subsidiary retains the risk of credit loss on the receivables. Accordingly, the full amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided for on our balance sheets. The amount of receivables sold and outstanding with the third-party financial institution may not exceed $50.0 million. Under the terms of this arrangement, our consolidated subsidiary retains collection and administrative responsibilities for the balances. The aggregate amount of receivables sold to the consolidated subsidiary was $47.6 million as of April 5, 2009 and $72.8 million as of December 28 2008. At April 5, 2009 and December 28, 2008, an undivided interest of $30.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively, in the receivables had been sold to the third-party financial institution under this agreement. The remaining interest in receivables of $17.6 million and $32.8 million that were sold to and held by
41
Table of Contents
the consolidated subsidiary were included in accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated financial statements at April 5, 2009 and December 28, 2008, respectively. In the future we may reduce the balance of the receivables that are sold to the third-party financial institution under this agreement.
The agreement requires the third-party financial institution to be paid interest during the period from the date the receivable is sold to its maturity date. At April 5, 2009, the effective interest rate was LIBOR plus approximately 250 basis points. The servicing fees received constitute adequate compensation for services performed. No servicing asset or liability is therefore recorded. The agreement also includes conditions that require us to maintain a senior unsecured credit rating of BB or above, as defined by Standard & Poors Rating Services, and Ba2 or above, as defined by Moodys Investors Service. At April 5, 2009, we had a senior unsecured credit rating of BBB, with a stable outlook from Standard & Poors Rating Services, and of Baa3, with a stable outlook from Moodys Investors Service. In March 2009, our consolidated subsidiary entered into an agreement to extend the term of the accounts receivable securitization facility to December 30, 2009.
Our Board declared regular quarterly cash dividends of seven cents per share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and in each quarter of fiscal year 2008. In the future, our Board may determine to reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.
Effects of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements significant aspects of a business combination. Under SFAS No. 141(R), acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests are valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date will affect income tax expense. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R). SFAS No. 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. We adopted SFAS No. 141(R) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have a significant impact on our acquisition activity in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. We adopted SFAS No. 160 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. SFAS No. 161 establishes principles and requirements for how an entity identifies derivative instruments and related hedged items that affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also establishes disclosure requirements that the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses are disclosed in a tabular format, that derivative features which are credit-risk related be disclosed to provide clarification to an entitys liquidity and cross-referencing within footnotes. We adopted SFAS No. 161 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and have evaluated the requirements of SFAS No. 161, which provides for additional disclosure on our derivative instruments. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Notes 17 and 18 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for our disclosure on derivative instruments and hedging activities.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP No. 142-3). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The objective of FSP No. 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R), and other accounting principles. FSP No. 142-3 applies to all intangible assets, whether acquired in a business combination or otherwise, and early adoption is prohibited. We adopted FSP No. 142-3 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of FSP No. 142-3 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (FSP No. 141(R)-1), which amends and clarifies the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and related disclosures of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination under SFAS No. 141(R). FSP No. 141(R)-1 is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. We adopted FSP No. 141(R)-1 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 in conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R). The adoption of FSP No. 141(R)-1 did not have a significant impact on our acquisition activity in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Effects of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FSP No. 132(R)-1), which requires additional disclosures for employers pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets. Pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets were not included within the scope of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). FSP No. 132(R)-1 requires employers to disclose information about fair value measurements of plan assets similar to the disclosures required under SFAS No. 157, including the investment policies and strategies for the major categories of plan assets, and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. FSP No. 132(R)-1 will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009, with earlier application permitted. Upon initial application, the provisions of FSP No. 132(R)-1 are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes. We will be required to adopt FSP No. 132(R)-1 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. FSP No. 132(R)-1 provides only disclosure requirements; the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP No. 157-4). FSP No. 157-4 amends SFAS No. 157 and provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly for fair value measurements. FSP No. 157-4 will be applied prospectively with retrospective application not permitted, and will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting FSP No. 157-4 must also early adopt FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2). Additionally, if an entity elects to early adopt either FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1) or FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2, it must also elect to early adopt FSP No. 157-4. We will be required to adopt FSP No. 157-4 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. 157-4 and do not believe that it will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2. FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 amends SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, SFAS No. 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations, and EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to make the other-than-temporary impairments guidance found therein more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in financial statements. FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 will replace the existing requirement that an entitys management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with a requirement that management assert it does not have the intent to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 provides increased disclosure about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold and also requires increased and more frequent disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. Although FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 does not result in a change in the carrying amount of debt securities, it does require that the portion of an other-than-temporary impairment not related to a credit loss for a held-to-maturity security be recognized in a new category of other comprehensive income and be amortized over the remaining life of the debt security as an increase in the carrying value of the security. FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 only if it also elects to early adopt FSP No. 157-4. Also, if an entity elects to early adopt either FSP No. 157-4 or FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, the entity also is required to early adopt FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2. We will be required to adopt FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2 and do not believe that it will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1. FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS No. 107), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Prior to FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed annually. FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107 and requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 only if it also elects to early adopt FSP No. 157-4 and FSP No. 115-2 and 124-2. FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. We will be

required to adopt FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 and do not believe that it will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Market Risk
Market Risk. We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies to hedge against known or forecasted market exposures. We briefly describe several of the market risks we face below. The following disclosure is not materially different from the disclosure provided under the heading, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, in our 2008 Form 10-K.
Foreign Exchange Risk. The potential change in foreign currency exchange rates poses a substantial risk to us, as approximately 60% of our business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. Our risk management strategy currently uses forward contracts to mitigate certain balance sheet foreign currency transaction exposures. The intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures from these currencies, with gains and losses resulting from the forward contracts that hedge these exposures. In addition, we are able to partially mitigate the impact that fluctuations in currencies have on our net income as a result of our manufacturing facilities located in countries outside the United States, material sourcing and other spending which occur in countries outside the United States, resulting in natural hedges.
Principal hedged currencies include the British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), and Singapore Dollar (SGD). We held forward foreign exchange contracts with U.S. equivalent notional amounts totaling $108.5 million and $123.0 million as of April 5, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively. The fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The gains and losses realized on foreign currency derivative contracts are not material and the duration of these contracts was generally 30 days during both fiscal years 2009 and 2008.
We do not enter into foreign currency derivative contracts for trading or other speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. Although we attempt to manage our foreign currency exchange risk through the above activities, when the U.S. Dollar weakens against other currencies in which we transact business, generally sales and net income will be positively, but not proportionately impacted.
Foreign Currency RiskValue-at-Risk Disclosure. We continue to measure foreign currency risk using the Value-at-Risk model described in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, of our 2008 Form 10-K. The measures for our Value-at-Risk analysis have not changed materially.
Interest Rate Risk. As described above, our debt portfolio includes variable rate instruments. Fluctuations in interest rates can therefore have a direct impact on both our short-term cash flows, as they relate to interest, and our earnings. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies to hedge against known or forecasted interest rate exposures.
We entered into forward interest rate contracts that were intended to hedge movements in interest rates prior to our expected debt issuance. In May 2008, we settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million, upon the issuance of our 6% senior unsecured notes. We did not recognize any ineffectiveness related to these cash flow hedges. We recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges. As of April 5, 2009, the balance remaining in other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges was $7.4 million, net of taxes of $4.8 million. The derivative losses are amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. We amortized into interest expense $0.5 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2009 and $1.2 million during fiscal year 2008 for these derivative losses.
Interest Rate RiskSensitivity. Our 2008 Form 10-K presents sensitivity measures for our interest rate risk. The measures for our sensitivity analysis have not changed materially. We refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, in our 2008 Form 10-K for our sensitivity disclosure.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Acting Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our quarter ended April 5, 2009. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our quarter ended April 5, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and our Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 5, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, Enzo) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. The complaint alleges that we have breached our distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzos patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzos patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. Enzo seeks injunctive and monetary relief. In 2003, the court severed the lawsuit and ordered Enzo to serve individual complaints against the five defendants. We subsequently filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzos patents are invalid. In July 2006, the court issued a decision regarding the construction of the claims in Enzos patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, we believe, excludes certain of our products from the coverage of Enzos patents. Summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants in January 2007, and a hearing with oral argument on those motions took place in July 2007. On March 16, 2009, the summary judgment motions were denied without prejudice and the case was stayed until the federal appellant court decides Enzos appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc., which involves a number of the same patents.
PharmaStem Therapeutics, Inc. (PharmaStem) filed a complaint dated February 22, 2002 against ViaCell, Inc. (ViaCell), which is now our wholly owned subsidiary, and several other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of United States Patents No. 5,004,681 and No. 5,192,553, relating to certain aspects of the collection, cryopreservation and storage of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells from umbilical cord blood (PharmaStem I). After several years of proceedings at the District Court level, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision in July 2007 that ViaCell did not infringe these two patents and that the two patents are invalid. PharmaStem filed a certiorari petition in January 2008 seeking to have the United States Supreme Court review the appellate courts decision as to the invalidity of the patents, but did not seek any further review of the non-infringement decision. However, the United States Supreme Court denied certiorari in March 2008, so the decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in favor of ViaCell is final and non-appealable. PharmaStem had also filed a second complaint against ViaCell and other defendants in July 2004 in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, alleging infringement of United States Patents No. 6,461,645 and 6,569,427, which also relate to certain aspects of the collection, cryopreservation and storage of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells from umbilical cord blood (PharmaStem II). The Delaware court granted ViaCells motion in October 2005 to stay the proceedings in PharmaStem II pending the outcome of PharmaStem I and a decision from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (U.S. PTO) on certain patent re-examination issues. On September 2, 2008, the U.S. PTO issued a Re-examination Certificate cancelling all claims of United States Patent No. 6,461,645, and on September 16, 2008, the U.S. PTO issued a Re-examination Certificate cancelling all claims of United States Patent No. 6,569,427. As a result of the cancellation of all patent claims involved in PharmaStem II by the U.S. PTO, we will seek a dismissal of all claims for relief set forth by PharmaStem in PharmaStem II.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to these lawsuits and other proceedings, and we are contesting the actions vigorously in all of the above unresolved matters. While each of these matters is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We are also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although we have established accruals for potential losses that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of our management, based
47
Table of Contents
on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at April 5, 2009 should not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to us.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
The following important factors affect our business and operations generally or affect multiple segments of our business and operations:
If the markets into which we sell our products decline, or do not grow as anticipated due to a decline in general economic conditions or uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals, we may see an adverse effect on the results of our business operations.
Our customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, laboratories, academic and research institutions, public health authorities, private healthcare organizations, doctors and government agencies. Our quarterly sales and results of operations are highly dependent on the volume and timing of orders received during the quarter. In addition, our revenues and earnings forecasts for future quarters are often based on the expected trends in our markets. However, the markets we serve do not always experience the trends that we may expect. Negative fluctuations in our customers markets, the inability of our customers to secure credit or funding, general economic conditions or cuts in government funding would likely result in a reduction in demand for our products and services. In addition, government funding is subject to economic conditions and the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Our revenues may be adversely affected if our customers delay or reduce purchases as a result of uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals. Such declines could harm our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and trading price of our common stock, and could limit our ability to sustain profitability.
Our growth is subject to global economic, political and other risks.
We have operations in many parts of the world. The health of the global economy has a significant impact on our business. For example, the current tightening of credit in the financial markets may make it more difficult for customers to obtain financing for their operations, resulting in a material decrease in the orders we receive. Our business is also affected by local economic environments, including inflation, recession, financial liquidity and currency volatility or devaluation. Political changes, some of which may be disruptive, could interfere with our supply chain, our customers and all of our activities in a particular location. In addition, our global manufacturing facilities face risks to their production capacity that may relate to natural disasters, labor relations or regulatory compliance. While some of these risks can be hedged using financial instruments and some are insurable, such attempts to mitigate these risks are costly and not always successful. In addition, our ability to engage in such mitigation has decreased or become even more costly as a result of recent market developments.
If we do not introduce new products in a timely manner, we may lose market share and be unable to achieve revenue growth targets.
We sell many of our products in industries characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions, and evolving customer needs and industry standards. Many of the businesses competing with us in these industries have significant financial and other resources to invest in new technologies, substantial intellectual property portfolios, substantial experience in new product development, regulatory expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and the distribution channels to deliver products to customers. Our products could become technologically obsolete over time, or we may invest in technology that does not lead to revenue growth, or continue to sell products for which the demand from our customers is declining, in which case we may lose market share or not achieve our revenue growth targets. The success of our new product offerings will depend upon several factors, including our ability to:
| accurately anticipate customer needs, |
48
Table of Contents
| innovate and develop new technologies and applications, |
| successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner, |
| price our products competitively, and manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and on time, and |
| differentiate our offerings from our competitors offerings. |
Many of our products are used by our customers to develop, test and manufacture their products. We must anticipate industry trends and consistently develop new products to meet our customers expectations. In developing new products, we may be required to make significant investments before we can determine the commercial viability of the new product. If we fail to accurately foresee our customers needs and future activities, we may invest heavily in research and development of products that do not lead to significant sales. We may also suffer a loss in market share and potential sales revenue if we are unable to commercialize our technology in a timely and efficient manner.
In addition, some of our licensed technology is subject to contractual restrictions, which may limit our ability to develop or commercialize products for some applications.
We may not be able to successfully execute acquisitions or license technologies, integrate acquired businesses or licensed technologies into our existing businesses, or make acquired businesses or licensed technologies profitable.
We have in the past supplemented, and may in the future supplement, our internal growth by acquiring businesses and licensing technologies that complement or augment our existing product lines, such as Opto Technology Inc., acquired in January 2009. However, we may be unable to identify or complete promising acquisitions or license transactions for many reasons, including:
| competition among buyers and licensees, |
| the high valuations of businesses and technologies, |
| the need for regulatory and other approval, and |
| our inability to raise capital to fund these acquisitions. |
Some of the businesses we may seek to acquire may be unprofitable or marginally profitable. Accordingly, the earnings or losses of acquired businesses may dilute our earnings. For these acquired businesses to achieve acceptable levels of profitability, we would have to improve their management, operations, products and market penetration. We may not be successful in this regard and may encounter other difficulties in integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations, such as incompatible management, information or other systems, cultural differences or difficulties in predicting financial results. As a result, our financial results may differ from our forecasts or the expectations of the investment community in a given quarter or over the long term.
To finance our acquisitions, we may have to raise additional funds, either through public or private financings. We may be unable to obtain such funds or may be able to do so only on terms unacceptable to us. We may also incur expenses related to completing acquisitions or licensing technologies, or in evaluating potential acquisitions or technologies, which expenses may adversely impact our profitability.
We may not be successful in adequately protecting our intellectual property.
Patent and trade secret protection is important to us because developing new products, processes and technologies gives us a competitive advantage, although it is time-consuming and expensive. We own many United States and foreign patents and intend to apply for additional patents. Patent applications we file, however, may not result in issued patents or, if they do, the claims allowed in the patents may be narrower than what is
49
Table of Contents
needed to protect fully our products, processes and technologies. Similarly, applications to register our trademarks may not be granted in all countries in which they are filed. For our intellectual property that is protected by keeping it secret, such as trade secrets and know-how, we may not use adequate measures to protect this intellectual property.
Third parties may also challenge the validity of our issued patents, may circumvent or design around our patents and patent applications, or may claim that our products, processes or technologies infringe their patents. In addition, third parties may assert that our product names infringe their trademarks. We may incur significant expense in legal proceedings to protect our intellectual property against infringement by third parties or to defend against claims of infringement by third parties. Claims by third parties in pending or future lawsuits could result in awards of substantial damages against us or court orders that could effectively prevent us from manufacturing, using, importing or selling our products in the United States or other countries.
If we are unable to renew our licenses or otherwise lose our licensed rights, we may have to stop selling products or we may lose competitive advantage.
We may not be able to renew our existing licenses, or licenses we may obtain in the future, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we lose the rights to a patented or other proprietary technology, we may need to stop selling products incorporating that technology and possibly other products, redesign our products or lose a competitive advantage. Potential competitors could in-license technologies that we fail to license and potentially erode our market share.
Our licenses typically subject us to various economic and commercialization obligations. If we fail to comply with these obligations, we could lose important rights under a license, such as the right to exclusivity in a market. In some cases, we could lose all rights under the license. In addition, rights granted under the license could be lost for reasons out of our control. For example, the licensor could lose patent protection for a number of reasons, including invalidity of the licensed patent, or a third-party could obtain a patent that curtails our freedom to operate under one or more licenses.
If we do not compete effectively, our business will be harmed.
We encounter aggressive competition from numerous competitors in many areas of our business. We may not be able to compete effectively with all of these competitors. To remain competitive, we must develop new products and periodically enhance our existing products. We anticipate that we may also have to adjust the prices of many of our products to stay competitive. In addition, new competitors, technologies or market trends may emerge to threaten or reduce the value of entire product lines.
Our quarterly operating results could be subject to significant fluctuation, and we may not be able to adjust our operations to effectively address changes we do not anticipate, which could increase the volatility of our stock price and potentially cause losses to our shareholders.
Given the nature of the markets in which we participate, we cannot reliably predict future sales and profitability. Changes in competitive, market and economic conditions may require us to adjust our operations, and we may not be able to make those adjustments or make them quickly enough to adapt to changing conditions. A high proportion of our costs are fixed, due in part to our research and development and manufacturing costs. Thus, small declines in sales could disproportionately affect our operating results in a quarter. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include:
| demand for and market acceptance of our products, |
| competitive pressures resulting in lower selling prices, |
| adverse changes in the level of economic activity in regions in which we do business, |
50
Table of Contents
| decline in general economic conditions or government funding, |
| adverse income tax audit settlements, |
| differing tax laws and changes in those laws, or changes in the countries in which we are subject to tax, |
| adverse changes in industries, such as pharmaceutical and biomedical, |
| changes in the portions of our sales represented by our various products and customers, |
| delays or problems in the introduction of new products, |
| our competitors announcement or introduction of new products, services or technological innovations, |
| increased costs of raw materials, energy or supplies, |
| changes in the volume or timing of product orders, and |
| changes in assumptions used to determine contingent consideration in acquisitions. |
A significant disruption in third-party package delivery and import/export services, or significant increases in prices for those services, could interfere with our ability to ship products, increase our costs and lower our profitability.
We ship a significant portion of our products to our customers through independent package delivery and import/export companies, including UPS and Federal Express in the United States, TNT, UPS and DHL in Europe and UPS in Asia. We also ship our products through other carriers, including national trucking firms, overnight carrier services and the U.S. Postal Service. If one or more of the package delivery or import/export providers experiences a significant disruption in services or institutes a significant price increase, the delivery of our products could be prevented or delayed. Such events could cause us to incur increased shipping costs that could not be passed on to our customers, negatively impacting our profitability and our relationships with certain of our customers.
Disruptions in the supply of raw materials, certain key components, and supplies from our limited or single source suppliers could have an adverse effect on the results of our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.
The production of our products requires a wide variety of raw materials, key components and supplies that are generally available from alternate sources of supply. However, certain critical raw materials, key components and supplies required for the production of some of our principal products are available from limited or single sources of supply. We generally have multi-year contracts with no minimum purchase requirements with these suppliers, but those contracts may not fully protect us from a failure by certain suppliers to supply critical materials or from the delays inherent in being required to change suppliers and, in some cases, validate new raw materials. Such raw materials, key components and supplies could usually be obtained from alternative sources with the potential for an increase in price, decline in quality or delay in delivery. A prolonged inability to obtain certain raw materials, key components or supplies is possible and could have an adverse effect on our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.
The manufacture and sale of products may expose us to product liability claims for which we could have substantial liability.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims if our products or product candidates are alleged or found to have caused injury, damage or loss. We may in the future be unable to obtain insurance with adequate levels of coverage for potential liability on acceptable terms or claims of this nature may be excluded from coverage under the terms of any insurance policy that we can obtain. If we are unable to obtain such insurance or the amounts of any claims successfully brought against us substantially exceed our coverage, then our business could be adversely impacted.

If we fail to maintain satisfactory compliance with the regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration and other governmental agencies, we may be forced to recall products and cease their manufacture and distribution, and we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties.
Some of the products produced by our Human Health segment are subject to regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration and similar agencies internationally. These regulations govern a wide variety of product activities, from design and development to labeling, manufacturing, promotion, sales, resales and distribution. If we fail to comply with those regulations or those of similar international agencies, we may have to recall products, cease their manufacture and distribution, and may be subject to fines or criminal prosecution. Other aspects of our operations are subject to regulation by different government agencies in the United States and other countries. If we fail to comply with those regulations, we could be subject to fines, penalties, criminal prosecution or other sanctions.
Changes in governmental regulations may reduce demand for our products or increase our expenses.
We compete in markets in which we or our customers must comply with federal, state, local and foreign regulations, such as environmental, health and safety, and food and drug regulations. We develop, configure and market our products to meet customer needs created by these regulations. Any significant change in these regulations could reduce demand for our products or increase our costs of producing these products.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated and if we fail to comply with its extensive system of laws and regulations, we could suffer fines and penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations which could have a significant adverse effect on the results of our business operations.
The healthcare industry, including the genetic screening market, is subject to extensive and frequently changing international and United States federal, state and local laws and regulations. In addition, legislative provisions relating to healthcare fraud and abuse, patient privacy violations and misconduct involving government insurance programs provide federal enforcement personnel with substantial powers and remedies to pursue suspected violations. We believe that our business will continue to be subject to increasing regulation as the federal government continues to strengthen its position on healthcare matters, the scope and effect of which we cannot predict. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil and criminal damages, fines and penalties, exclusion from participation in governmental healthcare programs, and the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations necessary to operate our business, as well as incur liabilities from third-party claims, all of which could have a significant adverse effect on our business.
Economic, political and other risks associated with foreign operations could adversely affect our international sales and profitability.
Because we sell our products worldwide, our businesses are subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Our sales originating outside the United States represented the majority of our total sales in the fiscal quarter ended April 5, 2009. We anticipate that sales from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total sales. In addition, many of our manufacturing facilities, employees and suppliers are located outside the United States. Accordingly, our future results of operations could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:
| changes in foreign currency exchange rates, |
| changes in a countrys or regions political or economic conditions, particularly in developing or emerging markets, |
| longer payment cycles of foreign customers and timing of collections in foreign jurisdictions, |
| trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements, |
| differing tax laws and changes in those laws, or changes in the countries in which we are subject to tax, |

Table of Contents
| adverse income tax audit settlements or loss of previously negotiated tax incentives, |
| differing business practices associated with foreign operations, |
| difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations, |
| differing labor laws and changes in those laws, |
| differing protection of intellectual property and changes in that protection, and |
| differing regulatory requirements and changes in those requirements. |
If we do not retain our key personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy will be limited.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers and key management and technical personnel, particularly our experienced engineers, and on our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. The competition for these employees is intense. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, there could be a material adverse effect on us should the turnover rates for engineers and other key personnel increase significantly or if we are unable to continue to attract qualified personnel. We do not maintain any key person life insurance policies on any of our officers or employees.
Our success also depends on our ability to execute leadership succession plans. The inability to successfully transition key management roles could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
If we experience a significant disruption in our information technology systems or if we fail to implement new systems and software successfully, our business could be adversely affected.
We rely on several centralized information systems throughout our company to keep financial records, process orders, manage inventory, process shipments to customers and operate other critical functions. If we were to experience a prolonged system disruption in the information technology systems that involve our interactions with customers and suppliers, it could result in the loss of sales and customers and significant incremental costs, which could adversely affect our business.
Restrictions in our credit facility and outstanding debt instruments may limit our activities.
Our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our 6% senior unsecured notes contain, and future debt instruments to which we may become subject may contain, restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that could otherwise benefit our company. These debt instruments include restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:
| pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock, |
| sell assets, |
| incur obligations that restrict their ability to make dividend or other payments to us, |
| guarantee or secure indebtedness, |
| enter into transactions with affiliates, and |
| consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. |
We are also required to meet specified financial ratios under the terms of our debt instruments. Our ability to comply with these financial restrictions and covenants is dependent on our future performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including factors that are beyond our control such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, changes in technology and changes in the level of competition.

Our failure to comply with any of these restrictions in our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our 6% senior unsecured notes may result in an event of default under either or both of these debt instruments, which could permit acceleration of the debt under either or both debt instruments, and require us to prepay that debt before its scheduled due date.
Our results of operations will be adversely affected if we fail to realize the full value of our intangible assets.
As of April 5, 2009, our total assets included $1.8 billion of net intangible assets. Net intangible assets consist principally of goodwill associated with acquisitions and costs associated with securing patent rights, trademark rights, core technology and technology licenses, net of accumulated amortization. We test certain of these itemsspecifically all of those that are considered non-amortizingat least on an annual basis for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair market value of the reporting unit to which they are assigned. All of our amortizing intangible assets are evaluated for impairment should discrete events occur that call into question the recoverability of the intangible assets.
Adverse changes in our business, adverse changes in the assumptions used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, or the failure to grow our Human Health and Environmental Health segments may result in impairment of our intangible assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our share price will fluctuate.
Over the last several quarters, stock markets in general and our common stock in particular have experienced significant price and volume volatility. Both the market price and the daily trading volume of our common stock may continue to be subject to significant fluctuations due not only to general stock market conditions but also to a change in sentiment in the market regarding our operations and business prospects. In addition to the risk factors discussed above, the price and volume volatility of our common stock may be affected by:
| operating results that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors; |
| the financial performance of the major end markets that we target; |
| the operating and securities price performance of companies that investors consider to be comparable to us; |
| announcements of strategic developments, acquisitions and other material events by us or our competitors; and |
| changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest or foreign exchange rates, commodity and equity prices and the value of financial assets. |
Dividends on our common stock could be reduced or eliminated in the future.
On January 28, 2009, we announced that our Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 that was paid in May 2009. In the future, our Board may determine to reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.

(1) | On October 23, 2008, we announced that our Board has authorized us to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of our common stock under a stock repurchase program (the Repurchase Program). The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless this authorization is terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we repurchased 1,000,000 shares of our common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $14.2 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value. |
(2) | Our Board has authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we repurchased 27,102 shares of our common stock for this purpose. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value. |
