Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Clarient, Inc.
Aliso Viejo, California
Clarient, Inc.
Aliso Viejo, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Clarient Inc. and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity (deficit) and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the year ended December
31, 2009. Our audit also included the 2009 financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item
15. We also have audited the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The companys management is
responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting in Item 9a. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Companys
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, and effected by the companys board of directors, management, and
other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to
error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any
evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion such consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Clarient Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in
our opinion such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Clarient, Inc.:
Clarient, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Clarient, Inc. and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders
(deficit) equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited
the related financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Clarient, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations
and has working capital and net capital deficiencies. In addition, it is not probable that the
Company can remain in compliance with the restrictive financial covenants in its bank credit
facilities. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a
going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of
accounting for uncertainties in income taxes in 2007.

physicians and certain other healthcare professionals who provide professional medical services.
All of the Companys pathology services are provided by, or are under the supervision of, Clarient
Pathology Services, Inc. (CPS) under a long-term, exclusive professional services agreement by
and between the Company and CPS, as amended on September 1, 2009 (the Professional Services
Agreement). Kenneth J. Bloom, M.D. is the sole stockholder and president of CPS. Dr. Bloom also
serves as the Companys Chief Medical Officer (CMO), a senior management function primarily
involving the technical oversight of the Companys diagnostics services laboratory.
The Company is responsible to perform a variety of non-medical administrative services for
CPS, as required under the Professional Services Agreement. The Company bills and collects for the
pathology services provided by CPS. The Company in turn pays CPS a monthly professional services
fee equal to the aggregate of all estimated CPS physician salaries and benefits, and all other
operating costs of CPS.
(b) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
and the financial statements rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). These financial statements include the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows of the Company, and the accounts of CPS, which are consolidated as
required by applicable GAAP. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to properly conform to current period
financial statement classification and presentation requirements, or to correct prior period
financial statement misclassifications (see Note 18).
The preparation of the accompanying audited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions
affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes
thereto. The Companys most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowance for
doubtful accounts, and stock-based compensation expense. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. As part of the financial statement preparation process, the Company also has evaluated
whether any significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2009
through March 16, 2010, representing the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the
SEC, and concluded that no additional disclosures or adjustments were required.

(c) Operating Segment
The Company has one reportable operating segment that delivers advanced oncology diagnostic
services to community pathologists, oncologists, and biopharmaceutical companies. As of December
31, 2009, all of the Companys services were provided within the United States, and substantially
all of the Companys assets were located within the United States.
(d) Going Concern
As of December 31, 2008, the Company expressed substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern because it suffered recurring losses from operations, had negative cash flows
from operations, and had working capital and net capital deficiencies. In addition, it was not
probable that the Company would remain in compliance with the restrictive financial covenants in
its bank credit facilities.
The Company took several actions during 2009 to address these matters, including (i) the
issuance and sale of an aggregate of 5.3 million shares of Series A preferred stock for aggregate
gross consideration of $40.0 million (see Note 12), (ii) the full repayment and retirement of
credit facilities with Safeguard and Comerica, utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the Series
A preferred stock issuance and sale (see Note 7), and (iii) the realization of general improvements
in 2009 cash collections as compared to 2008. Therefore, as of December 31, 2009, the Company no
longer believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Revenue Recognition
Net revenue for the Companys diagnostic services is recognized on an accrual basis at the
time discreet diagnostic tests are completed. Each test performed relates to a specimen encounter
derived from a patient, and received by the Company on a specific date (such encounter is commonly
referred to as an accession). The Companys services are billed to various payors, including
Medicare, private health insurance companies, healthcare institutions, biopharmaceutical companies,
and patients. The Company reports net revenue from contracted payors, including certain private
health insurance companies, healthcare institutions, and biopharmaceutical companies, based on the
contracted rate, or in certain instances, the Companys estimate of the amount expected to be
collected for the services provided. For billing to Medicare, the Company uses the published fee
schedules, net of standard discounts (commonly referred to as contractual allowances). The
Company reports net revenue from non-contracted payors, including certain private health insurance
companies, based on the amount expected to be collected for the services provided. Revenue from
patient payors is based on a multiple of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
reimbursement schedule, or as applicable, patients co-pay or deductible obligations.
(b) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Bad Debt Expense
An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for estimated uncollectible amounts due from
the Companys various payor groups. The process for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts
involves significant assumptions and judgments. Specifically, the allowance for doubtful accounts
is adjusted periodically, and is principally based upon an evaluation of historical collection
experience of accounts receivable by age for the Companys various payor classes. After
appropriate collection efforts, accounts receivable are written off and deducted from the allowance
for doubtful accounts. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are charged to bad debt
expense. The payment realization cycle for certain governmental and managed care payors can be
lengthy, involving denial, appeal, and adjudication processes, and is subject to periodic
adjustments that may be significant.
During the third quarter of 2009, the Company refined its model for estimating an appropriate
allowance for doubtful accounts at each period end, utilizing historical payment information by
payor class and receivable age, which was not previously available to the Company in sufficient
form and content. The Company also further refined its identification of contractual allowances
during the third quarter of 2009, which resulted in the recognition of an immaterial amount of
additional contractual allowances.
8
(c) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records compensation expense related to stock-based awards, including stock
options and restricted stock, based on the fair value of the award, which is determined using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period
is based on the fair value of the portion of the stock-based awards that are ultimately expected to
vest, and thus, the gross expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures. The Company recognizes
stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method for
employees and ratably as tranches vest for non-employees. The Company classifies compensation
expense related to these awards based on the department to which the recipient reports.
(d) Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the possible impairment of its long-lived assets when events or changes
in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by the comparison of the carrying value
of such assets to the Companys pretax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges)
expected to be generated from their use in Company operations. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of
the assets exceeds fair value. Assets held for sale, when applicable, are reported at the lower of
the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
One potential impairment indicator is current-period operating and/or cash flow loss, combined
with a history of operating and/or cash flow losses. Because this condition applies to the
Company, management evaluates the Companys asset group for impairment at the end of each reporting
period. The asset group tested for impairment comprises the Companys entire laboratory operation,
representing the lowest level of its separately identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation
uses the Companys operating plan and associated cash flow projection in determining the
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by its asset group through continuing operations.
Such undiscounted cash flows are next compared to the carrying amount of the asset group to
determine if an impairment of the asset group is indicated.
The undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the Companys asset group exceeded
the carrying amount of the asset group as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, therefore, the Companys
asset group is not considered to be impaired. Such conclusion is based upon significant management
judgments and estimates inherent in the operating plan and associated cash flow projections,
including assumptions pertaining to net revenue growth, expense trends, and working capital
management. Accordingly, changes in circumstances or assumptions could adversely impact the
results of the Companys long-lived asset impairment test.
(e) Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under such
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and operating loss and tax credit
carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected
to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are reduced by a valuation allowance to an amount which is
more likely than not to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment.
(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts held as bank deposits and any certificates or
notes with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted cash is held as bank deposits, and serves as security deposits for the Companys
Aliso Viejo, California facility lease and a certain significant capital lease of computer
hardware. Interest accrues to the Company for such accounts. The classification of restricted
cash as current or non-current is dependent upon whether the contractual terms for such deposits
provide for the complete release of restrictions within one year of the balance sheet date.
The Company has not experienced any significant losses on cash and cash equivalents and does
not believe it is exposed to any significant loss risk due to the high-ratings of the institutions
in which its balances are deposited. The
Companys unrestricted and restricted cash balances on deposit that exceed the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (F.D.I.C.) limits were approximately $11.6 million at December 31, 2009.
9
(g) Supplies Inventory
Supplies inventory consists of laboratory and research and development supplies and are stated
at the lower of cost or market. Supplies inventory is accounted for under the first-in, first-out
method (FIFO).
(h) Property and Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Office furniture, computer, software, and laboratory equipment |
Three to five years | |
Leasehold improvements |
Shorter of useful life or remaining term of lease |
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are charged to expense as
incurred. Depreciation expense is recognized on the first day of the month subsequent to being
placed into service. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their
estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term. All reimbursed leasehold improvements received
from the Companys landlord are recorded to deferred rent and recovered ratably through a reduction
of rent expense over the term of the lease.
(i) Capitalized Internal-Use Software Costs
The Company capitalizes eligible internal-use computer software costs. Amortization begins
when the internal-use computer software is ready for its intended use, and is amortized over a
three to five-year period using the straight-line method.
(j) Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses
consist of compensation and benefits for research and development personnel, license fees, related
supplies inventory, certain information technology personnel, arrangements with consultants and
other third parties, and allocated facility-related costs.
(k) Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets, net, primarily consist of intellectual property represented by
proprietary biomarkers in development and substantially ready for use within the Companys
diagnostic testing activities (acquired through the AGI Acquisition, discussed in Note 15).
These intangible assets have associated patents or patents in process, and are amortized
on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of seven years. The amortization
period commences upon the commercialization of the related biomarker.
(l) Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the
estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The
Company performs a two-step process on an annual basis, or more frequently if necessary, to
determine 1) whether the fair value of the relevant reporting unit exceeds carrying value,
and 2) to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. The reporting unit tested
for goodwill impairment comprises the Companys entire laboratory operation, representing
its single operating segment. The fair value of the Companys reporting unit is
represented by the Companys total market capitalization on the NASDAQ Capital Market as of
the close of the business day on December 1, which represents our annual impairment testing
date.
10
(m) Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies relevant GAAP in measuring the fair value of its Variable Shares (see Note
15). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market participant
assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs)
and (ii) an entitys own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the
best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy
consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement
date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that
are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates); and inputs that are
derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other
means.
Level 3 Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and
unobservable.

(4) Discontinued Operations
On March 8, 2007, the Company sold its instrument systems business (the ACIS Business),
consisting of certain tangible assets, inventory, intellectual property (including the Companys
former patent portfolio and the ACIS and ChromaVision trademarks), contracts, and related assets to
Carl Zeiss MicroImaging, Inc. and one of its subsidiaries (collectively, Zeiss) for an aggregate
purchase price of $12.5 million. The $12.5 million consisted of $11.0 million in cash and an
additional $1.5 million in contingent purchase price, subject to the satisfaction of certain
post-closing conditions through March 8, 2009 relating to transferred intellectual property (the
ACIS Sale). As part of the ACIS Sale, the Company entered into a license agreement with Zeiss
that granted the Company a non-exclusive, perpetual and royalty-free license to certain of the
transferred patents, copyrights, and software code for use in connection with imaging applications
(excluding sales of imaging instruments) and the Companys oncology diagnostic services business.
The ACIS Business is reported in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The
Company recognized a gain on sale for the year ended December 31, 2007, which is calculated as
follows:

In March 2009, Zeiss management acknowledged the satisfaction of the post-closing conditions
of the ACIS Sale and the associated $1.5 million payment due, which the Company subsequently
received on April 8, 2009. The Company recorded the $0.9 million as income from discontinued
operations, net of income taxes (see Note 18), within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The Company retains certain indemnification obligations to Zeiss for any third party claims
surviving through the applicable statute of limitations. The Company believes the likelihood of a
raised claim(s) is remote and, in any case, would be immaterial in value.
(5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
CodificationTM (FASB Codification) became the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental GAAP on July 1, 2009. The FASB Codification became effective for financial
statements that cover interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Other than
resolving certain minor inconsistencies in current GAAP, the FASB Codification does not affect
GAAP, but rather organizes historical accounting pronouncements by approximately 90 accounting
topics. Accordingly, the Company describes herein, in general, pertinent GAAP where applicable
and/or cites the associated FASB Codification reference, rather than the historical reference for
such GAAP guidance.
In September 2006, a common definition for fair value was established and is required to be
applied to GAAP as applicable. The guidance also establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements, and became effective for financial
assets and financial liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Subsequent
GAAP guidance deferred the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities
to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of the aforementioned GAAP for
financial assets and financial liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and
results of operations. The adoption of aforementioned GAAP for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, effective January 1, 2009, had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows.
In December 2007, developments in GAAP significantly changed the accounting and required
financial statement disclosures for business combinations for acquisitions occurring on or after
January 1, 2009. See Note 15 for the Companys business combination accounting disclosure in 2009.
Under such guidance, an acquiring entity is required to recognize all the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date at fair value with limited exceptions.
Further changes in the accounting treatment for certain specific items include:
| Transaction costs are generally expensed as incurred. These costs were previously treated as costs of the acquisition; |
| Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value as an element of purchase price with subsequent adjustments recognized in operations. Contingent consideration was previously accounted for as a subsequent adjustment of purchase price; |
| In-process research and development (IPR&D) 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; and |
| Subsequent decreases in valuation allowances on acquired deferred tax assets are recognized in operations after the measurement period. Such changes were previously considered to be subsequent changes in consideration and were recorded as decreases in goodwill. |
13
In April 2009, additional GAAP guidance was released that affects the accounting for assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies, which
amends the accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business
combination. Such guidance was effective January 1, 2009, and requires pre-acquisition
contingencies to be recognized at fair value, if fair value can be reasonably determined during the
measurement period. If fair value cannot be reasonably determined, measurement is required to be
based on the recognition and measurement criteria of GAAP applicable for accounting for
contingencies. See Note 15 for the impact of Companys business combination accounting in 2009.
In June 2008, GAAP guidance was released for determining whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities. Under such guidance, unvested
share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend
equivalents, whether they are paid or unpaid, are considered participating securities and should be
included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. As required,
the Company adopted such guidance retrospectively effective January 1, 2009, though it did not
affect the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or loss
per common share in prior periods. Income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders was
affected in the year ended December 31, 2009, as disclosed in Note 9.
(6) Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Credit risk with respect to the Companys accounts receivable is generally diversified due to
the large number of payors that comprise its customer base. The Company has significant receivable
balances with government payors, health insurance carriers, health care institutions,
biopharmaceutical companies, and patients. The Companys receivable balances are not supported by
collateral.
The laboratory services industry faces challenging billing and collection procedures. The
cash realization cycle for certain governmental and managed care payors can be lengthy and may
involve denial, appeal, and adjudication processes.
Collection of governmental, private health insurer, and client receivables are generally a function
of providing complete and accurate billing information to such parties within the various filing
deadlines. Receivables due from clients and patients, in particular, are generally subject to
increased credit risk as compared to the Companys other payors, due to the clients and patients
credit worthiness or inability to pay.
The percentage of the Companys gross accounts receivable of $30.3 million and $28.4 million
as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, by primary payor class is as follows:
December 31, | ||||||||

As of December 31, 2009, the Company maintained an $8.7 million allowance for doubtful
accounts in order to carry accounts receivable at the estimated net realizable value of $21.6
million, as presented within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for
doubtful accounts is an estimate that involves considerable professional judgment. As such, the
Companys actual collection of its December 31, 2009 accounts receivable may materially differ from
managements estimate for reasons including, but not limited to: customer mix, concentration of
customers within the healthcare sector, and the general downturn in the United States economy.

On March 25, 2009, the Company entered into the Oak Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the
Company agreed to sell and issue to Oak, up to an aggregate of 6.6 million shares of convertible
preferred stock in two or more tranches for aggregate consideration of up to $50.0 million. The
Company closed two tranches with Oak in March and May 2009 for an aggregate 5.3 million shares of
convertible preferred stock for aggregate consideration of $40.0 million. After paying investment
banking and legal fees, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds to repay in full and
terminate its revolving credit agreements with Comerica Bank and Safeguard (defined below) during
the first half of 2009.
Gemino Facility
On July 31, 2008, the Company entered into a secured credit agreement (the Gemino Facility)
with Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC (Gemino), which was amended on February 27, 2009 (the
February 2009 Gemino Amendment), on November 13, 2009 (the November 2009 Gemino Amendment), and
December 21, 2009 (the December 2009 Gemino Amendment). The Gemino Facility is a revolving
facility under which the Company may borrow up to $8.0 million, secured by the Companys accounts
receivable and related assets. The November 2009 Gemino Amendment extended the Gemino Facilitys
maturity date to January 31, 2011. The December 2009 Gemino Amendment joined AGI (see Note 15) as
a borrower under the Gemino Facility.
Outstanding borrowings under the Gemino Facility were $2.7 million at December 31, 2009. The
amount which the Company is entitled to borrow under the Gemino Facility at a particular time is
based on the amount of the Companys qualified accounts receivable and certain liquidity factors
($5.3 million availability as of December 31, 2009). During 2008, borrowings under the Gemino
Facility bore interest at an annual rate equal to 30-day LIBOR (subject to a minimum annual rate of
2.50% at all times) plus an applicable margin of 5.25% during 2008. As a result of the February
2009 Gemino Amendment, borrowings under the Gemino Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal
to 30-day LIBOR (subject to a minimum annual rate of 2.50% at all times) plus an applicable margin
of 6.0% during 2009 and 2010. The Company was also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.75% per
year on the daily average of unused credit availability (reduced to 0.50% with the November 2009
Gemino Amendment, as discussed below), and is required to pay a collateral monitoring fee of 0.40%
per year on the daily average of outstanding borrowings. Interest expense on the Gemino Facility
for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, was $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Such amounts are included in interest expense within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations
The February 2009 Gemino Amendment eliminated the formerly-existing minimum adjusted EBITDA
covenant and replaced it with a covenant that requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge
coverage ratio on an annualized basis of 1.00 through June 30, 2009, 1.10 through September 30,
2009, and 1.20 through December 31, 2009 (though the November 2009 Gemino Amendment removed the
fixed charge coverage ratio through December 31, 2009, as discussed below). The fixed charge
coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of EBITDA (net income plus interest expense, tax expense,
depreciation/amortization expense, and stock-based compensation expense), to the sum of (i)
interest expense paid in cash on the Gemino Facility, (ii) payments made under capital leases,
(iii) unfinanced capital expenditures, and (iv) taxes paid.
18
The February 2009 Gemino Amendment increased the Companys capital expenditure limit to $7.5
million in each fiscal year. For the twelve months ending December 31, 2009, the Companys
aggregate capital expenditures were $4.6 million. The February 2009 Gemino Amendment also modified
the minimum level of excess liquidity covenant, increasing
its threshold from $2.0 million to $3.0 million, though such covenant was subsequently
eliminated with the November 2009 Gemino Amendment, as discussed below.
The November 2009 Gemino Amendment (i) extended the maturity date of the Gemino Facility from
January 31, 2010 to January 31, 2011, (ii) removed the excess liquidity covenant, (iii) increased
the facilitys advance rate from 75% to 85%, (iv) eliminated the minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio covenant through December 31, 2009, (v) includes a maximum loan turnover ratio covenant
(defined as the average monthly loan balance divided by average monthly cash collections multiplied
by 30 days) of 35 days only for the three months ended December 31, 2009 (for the three months
ended December 31, 2009 the Companys calculated maximum loan turnover ratio was 18 days), (vi)
requires a minimum annualized fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.00 for the three months
ending March 31, 2010, 1.10 for six months ending June 30, 2010, 1.20 for the nine months ending
September 30, 2010, and 1.20 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2010 and thereafter, and
(vii) reduced the commitment fee from 0.75% to 0.50% per year on the daily average of unused credit
availability.
The Gemino Facility also contains a material adverse change clause (MAC) clause. If the
Company encountered difficulties that would qualify as a MAC in its (i) operations, (ii) condition
(financial or otherwise), or (iii) ability to repay amounts outstanding under the Gemino Facility,
it could be cancelled at Geminos sole discretion. Gemino could then elect to declare the
indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable and
proceed against any collateral securing such indebtedness.
Comerica Facility
On March 26, 2009, the Company fully repaid the $9.8 million outstanding balance under its
$12.0 million revolving credit agreement with Comerica Bank (the Comerica Facility), using a
portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of the Oak Private Placement. The Comerica
Facility was terminated at such time, as was Safeguards guarantee of the Comerica Facility (as
described below). The Company maintains a $1.5 million standby letter of credit with Comerica Bank
which is fully supported by a restricted cash account for the same amount. The letter of credit is
for the benefit of the Companys landlord of its leased facility in Aliso Viejo, California.
Borrowings under the Comerica Facility bore interest during 2008 and through February 27,
2009, at Comericas prime rate minus 0.5%, or at the Companys option, at a rate equal to 30-day
LIBOR plus 2.45%. The Comerica Facility was amended on February 27, 2009, and as a result, until
its retirement on March 26, 2009, borrowings under the Comerica Facility bore interest at the
Companys option of: (i) 0.5% plus the greater of Comericas prime rate or 1.75%, or (ii) 30-day
LIBOR plus 2.40%. The interest expense on the outstanding balance under the Comerica Facility for
the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 (excluding the usage and guarantee fees charged
by Safeguard as described below), was $0.1 million, $0.4 million, and $0.7 million, respectively.
Such amounts are included in interest expense within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Safeguard Delaware, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc.
(Safeguard), the Companys largest single stockholder, guaranteed the Companys borrowings under
the Comerica Facility in exchange for 0.5% per year of the total amount guaranteed plus 4.5% per
year of the daily-weighted average principal balance outstanding. Additionally, the Company was
required to pay Safeguard a quarterly usage fee of 0.875% of the amount by which the daily average
outstanding principal balance under the Comerica Facility exceeded $5.5 million. The usage and
guarantee fees charged by Safeguard for the Comerica Facility for the years ended December 31,
2009, 2008, and 2007 were $0.1 million, $0.7 million, and $0.6 million, respectively. Such amounts
are included in interest expense to related parties within the accompanying Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
Safeguard Mezzanine Financing
On March 7, 2007, the Company entered into a senior subordinated revolving credit facility
with Safeguard (the Initial Mezzanine Facility). The Initial Mezzanine Facility provided the
Company with up to $12.0 million in working capital funding, but was reduced by $6.0 million as a
result of the ACIS Sale discussed in Note 4. The Initial Mezzanine Facilitys annual interest rate
was 12.0%. In connection with the Initial Mezzanine Facility, the Company issued Safeguard 0.3
million common stock warrants to satisfy Safeguards commitment fees and maintenance and usage
fees. The fair value of these common stock warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model, and was initially expensed over the term of the Initial Mezzanine Facility, though
the term was subsequently extended to coincide with the term of the New Mezzanine Facility (defined
below).
19
On March 14, 2008, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior subordinated
revolving credit facility with Safeguard (the New Mezzanine Facility) to refinance, renew, and
expand the Initial Mezzanine Facility. The New Mezzanine Facility, which had a stated maturity date
of April 15, 2009, provided the Company with up to $21.0 million in working capital funding.
Borrowings under the New Mezzanine Facility bore interest at an annual rate of 12.0% through
September 30, 2008 and 13.0% thereafter. Proceeds from the New Mezzanine Facility were used to
refinance indebtedness under the Initial Mezzanine Facility, for working capital purposes, and to
repay in full and terminate the Companys former credit facility with GE Capital, which included
certain equipment lease obligations.
In connection with the New Mezzanine Facility, the Company issued Safeguard 1.6 million common
stock warrants upon its signing. The Company was also required to issue Safeguard an additional
2.2 million common stock warrants, in four equal tranches of 0.55 million if the balance of the New
Mezzanine Facility had not been reduced to $6.0 million or less on or prior to May 1, 2008, July 1,
2008, September 1, 2008, and November 1, 2008, respectively. Such reduction was not accomplished
and as a result, 0.55 million common stock warrants were issued on each of June 10, 2008, July 2,
2008, September 2, 2008, and November 6, 2008, respectively.
The fair value of the 1.6 million common stock warrants issued on March 14, 2008 and the 2.2
million common stock warrants issued from June 2008 through December 2008 was measured on March 14,
2008, the date of the New Mezzanine Facility commitment. The fair value of any unissued common
stock warrants associated with the New Mezzanine Facility was measured and adjusted at each
subsequent quarter end. The fair value of all such common stock warrants has been treated for
accounting purposes as a debt discount of the New Mezzanine Facility and additional
paid-in-capital. As such, the Company began accreting the debt discount in the first quarter of
2008 (as adjusted for the change in fair value of any contingent warrants at each quarter-end) over
the term of the New Mezzanine Facility through recording interest expense to related parties on a
straight-line basis.
The fair value of the common stock warrants issued to Safeguard in connection with the Initial
Mezzanine Facility and New Mezzanine Facility was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following inputs: zero dividends, a risk-free interest rate ranging from 3.4% to
4.5% (equal to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the warrants term on the date of issuance), and
expected stock volatility of 66% to 85% (measured using weekly price observations for a period
equal to the warrants term).
On February 27, 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior subordinated
revolving credit facility with Safeguard (the Third Mezzanine Facility) to refinance, renew, and
expand the New Mezzanine Facility. The Third Mezzanine Facility had a stated maturity date of
April 1, 2010 and provided the Company with up to $30.0 million in working capital funding through
March 25, 2009. Borrowings under the Third Mezzanine Facility bore interest at an annual rate of
14.0%, capitalized monthly to the principal balance. Upon the signing of the Third Mezzanine
Facility, the Company issued Safeguard 0.5 million fully vested common stock warrants with a five
year term and an exercise price equal to $1.376.
In connection with the Initial Oak Closing on March 26, 2009, the Company repaid $14.0 million
of the outstanding balance under the Third Mezzanine Facility. Also on March 26, 2009, the Company
and Safeguard amended the Third Mezzanine Facility, which resulted in the reduction of its total
availability from $30.0 million to $10.0 million. The Second Oak Closing occurred on May 14, 2009,
and at such time, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance (including accrued interest)
of the Third Mezzanine Facility of $5.7 million, which was cancelled upon repayment.
In connection with the $20.0 million reduction in availability of the Third Mezzanine Facility
on March 26, 2009, the Company assessed the associated unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.7
million as of such date. The 67% reduction in borrowing capacity ($20.0 million divided by $30.0
million) resulted in the expensing of debt issuance costs (which included unamortized warrant
expense) in such proportion, totaling $1.1 million, which was recorded to interest expense to
related parties in the first quarter of 2009 and included in interest expense within the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. The
remaining unamortized debt issuance costs ($0.5 million as of March 31, 2009) was fully amortized
through May 14, 2009, and included in interest expense to related parties within the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The interest expense on the outstanding balance under the Mezzanine Facilities, including the
amortization of the fair value of issued warrants (see tables below), for the years ended December
31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $3.6 million, $7.3 million, and $1.1 million respectively. Such
amounts are included in interest expense to related parties within the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

(9) Net Loss Per Share Information
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted applicable GAAP guidance affecting its earnings
per share (EPS) presentation, requiring that unvested stock-based compensation awards containing
non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and should be included in the
basic EPS calculation using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, all earnings
(distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common stock and participating securities (defined
below), based on their respective rights to receive dividends.
The Company grants restricted stock awards from time to time under its stock-based
compensation plan, which generally entitles recipients to non-forfeitable rights to dividends, if
and when declared. The Companys Series A convertible preferred stockholders (see Note 12) also
have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, if and when declared. Accordingly, such unvested
restricted stock awards and Series A convertible preferred stock are considered participating
securities.
Participating securities are included in the computation of EPS under the two-class method in
periods of net income, but are not included in the computation of EPS in periods of net loss (or
when distributions, or their accounting equivalents such as an amortized beneficial conversion feature, are in excess of net income), since the
contractual terms of the participating securities do not require the holders funding of the
Companys losses. Basic and diluted EPS was computed by dividing net loss applicable to common
stockholders by the weighted-average outstanding common shares during each period, as summarized in
the tables below:

Income (loss) per share amounts are computed independently for income (loss) from continuing
operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations and net income (loss). As a result, the sum
of per share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total
per share amounts for net income (loss). Additionally, income (loss) per share amounts are
computed independently for each quarter. As a result, the sum of the per share amounts for each
quarter may not equal the year-to-date amounts.
22
The following share amounts were used to compute basic and diluted weighted-average
outstanding common shares (in periods of net loss, or when distributions or equivalents were in
excess of net income, the anti dilutive effects of participating securities, stock options, and
warrants, were properly excluded):

(11) Stock-Based Compensation
2007 Incentive Award Plan
The Company has one active stockholder-approved stock plan, the 2007 Incentive Award Plan (the
2007 Plan), which replaced the Companys former stockholder-approved stock plan (the 1996
Plan). The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock
options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance
shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, performance
bonus awards, and performance-based awards.
The maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock available for issuance under the
2007 Plan is 5.0 million shares (which increased from 4.0 million shares due to an
stockholder-approved amendment of the 2007 Plan in June 2009), plus additional availability from
forfeited shares under the 1996 Plan. As of December 31, 2009, 0.6 million shares
were available for grant. The Company does not hold treasury shares, and therefore all shares
issued through exercised stock options are through unissued shares that are authorized and reserved
under the 2007 Plan. It is the Companys policy that before stock is issued through the exercise
of stock options, the Company must first receive all required cash payment for such shares
23
Stock-based awards are governed by agreements between the Company and the recipients.
Incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be granted under the 2007 Plan
at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the closing fair market value of the
Companys common stock on the respective date of grant. The grant date is generally the
date the award is approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
Compensation Committee), though for aggregate awards of 50,000 or less in each quarter,
the grant date is the date the award is approved by the Companys chief executive officer.
The Companys standard stock-based award vests 25% on the first anniversary of the date of
grant, or for new hires, the first anniversary of their initial date of employment with the
Company. Awards vest monthly thereafter on a straight-line basis over 36 months. Stock
options must be exercised, if at all, no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Upon
termination of employment with the Company, vested stock options may be exercised within 90
days from the last date of employment. In the event of an optionees death, disability, or
retirement, the exercise period is 365 days from the last date of employment.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, is as
follows:

Total stock-based compensation expense |
$ | 2,181 | $ | 1,711 | $ | 1,820 | ||||||
Employee stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008,
and 2007 was calculated based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced
for estimated forfeitures. Applicable GAAP requires forfeitures to be estimated at the
time of grant and prospectively revised if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The Company estimates forfeitures of stock options using the historical exercise behavior
of its employees. For purposes of this estimate, the Company has identified two groups of
employees. The estimated forfeiture rate of each group is as follows:
Forfeiture rates | ||||||||
2009, 2008, 2007 | 2007 | |||||||
(10/1/07 through 12/31/07) | (1/1/07 through 9/30/07) | |||||||
Executive and senior management group |
5 | % | 8 | % | ||||
Staff group |
8 | % | 35 | % |
As of December 31, 2009, there was $3.6 million of unamortized stock option compensation
expense, net of expected forfeitures. The Company expects to recognize this expense over a weighted
average period of 2.9 years.
As of December 31, 2009, there was $1.8 million of unamortized compensation expense for
restricted stock awards, net of expected forfeitures, which the Company expects to recognize over a
weighted average period of 3.4 years.
Valuation Assumptions
The fair value of stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used to determine fair value
for the stock awards granted in the applicable year:

(b) | Determined by the historical stock option exercise behavior of the Companys employees. | |
(c) | Based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the end of the quarter that the options were granted (for a period equaling the stock options expected term). |
24
The fair value of restricted stock awards are determined using the Companys closing stock
price on the date of grant multiplied by the respective number of awards granted.

Acquisition of Applied Genomics, Inc.
On December 21, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding
stock of Applied Genomics, Inc. (AGI) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of December 21, 2009, by and between the
Company and AGI. The purchase price for AGI consisted of 4.4 million of the Companys common
shares, and a maximum of an additional 3.2 million of its common shares to the former AGI
stockholders (inclusive of exchanged stock option awards), upon the achievement of certain revenue
and scientific publication milestones by December 31, 2012. See Note 15 for further discussion of
the AGI acquisition.
Stock Purchase Agreement with Oak Investment Partners XII, Limited Partnership
On March 25, 2009, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (Oak Purchase
Agreement) with Oak Investment Partners XII, Limited Partnership (Oak). In reliance on
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), the Company agreed
to sell Oak up to an aggregate of 6.6 million shares of its Series A convertible preferred stock,
$0.01 par value (the Preferred Shares) in two or more tranches (the Oak Private Placement) for
aggregate consideration of up to $50.0 million. The initial closing of the Oak Private Placement
occurred on March 26, 2009, at which time the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 3.8 million
Preferred Shares (the Initial Oak Closing Shares) for aggregate consideration of $29.1 million.
The second closing of the Oak Private Placement occurred on May 14, 2009, at which time the
Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1.4 million Preferred Shares (the Second Oak Closing
Shares) for aggregate consideration of $10.9 million. Upon the sale of the Second Oak Closing
Shares, Safeguards ownership of issued and outstanding voting securities decreased from 50.2% to
47.3%, and Oaks ownership of issued and outstanding voting securities increased from 16.6% to
21.4% (on an if-converted basis for Preferred Shares), though it is 20.0% as of December 31, 2009,
as adjusted for certain stock activity since May 2009.
On March 25, 2009, the effective date of the Oak Purchase Agreement, the Companys stock price
on the NASDAQ Capital Market closed at $1.71 per share, however, the applicable conversion price of
the Preferred Shares under the Oak Purchase Agreement is initially $1.90 per common share. On May
14, 2009, the date of the Second Oak Closing, the Companys stock price on the NASDAQ Capital
Market closed at $2.65 per share. The non-detachable conversion feature of the 1.4 million
Preferred Shares, allows conversion into 5.7 million common shares. The non-detachable conversion
feature was in-the-money at the deemed commitment date of the Second Oak Closing of May 14, 2009
($2.65 per common share, less $1.90 per common share). For purposes of measuring the beneficial
conversion option (further described
below), the commitment date of the Second Oak Closing was May 14, 2009, the date of the Second
Oak Closing, rather than March 25, 2009, the date of the Oak Purchase Agreement, since the Oak
Purchase Agreement contains a Material Adverse Effect (MAE) clause which could have allowed Oak,
at their sole discretion, to have never completed the Second Oak Closing due to their rights under
the Oak Purchase Agreement. Oaks discretion in completing the Second Oak Closing due to the MAE,
combined with the in-the-money non-detachable conversion feature of the Preferred Shares, required
the Company to account for the resulting beneficial conversion feature. Accordingly, the Company
recorded a $4.3 million increase to accumulated deficit for the immediate accretion of the related
preferred stock discount and a coinciding increase of additional paid-in capital ($0.75 multiplied
by 5.7 million common shares) which is included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as
of December 31, 2009.
26
Sale by Safeguard Scientifics, Inc.
In August and September 2009, Safeguard, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, completed the
sale of an aggregate 18.4 million shares of its holdings in the common stock of the Company in an
underwritten public offering which was pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with
the SEC. The Company did not, and will not, receive any proceeds from the sale of such shares.
The Company was nonetheless obligated to pay certain costs, expenses, and fees of $0.2 million
which were incident to Safeguards sale, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of February 27, 2009, by and among the Company, Safeguard, and certain of
Safeguards wholly-owned subsidiaries. Such amount was recorded to general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31,
2009. As a result of Safeguards sale of such shares and the earlier consummation of the Initial
and Second Oak Closings, and other stock activity, its ownership of the Companys issued and
outstanding voting securities decreased to 28.0% as of December 31, 2009 (on an if-converted basis
for Preferred Shares).
Share Registration Obligations of the Company
As required by the terms of the Oak Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with Oak on March 26, 2009, obligating the Company to register for
resale the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares on a
registration statement on Form S-3 to be filed with the SEC at least 90 days prior to March 26,
2010, which was filed with the SEC on December 22, 2009. The Company has from time to
time completed several other private placements of its equity securities. In connection therewith,
the Company has entered into certain agreements which require the Company to register, for resale,
such investors securities under the Securities Act. The Company has concluded that it does not
meet the conditions to accrue the estimated costs of preparing and filing such future registration
statements after considering the terms of the registration rights agreements.
Stock Warrant Activity
The Company has issued stock warrants to various parties in connection with entering and
maintaining certain credit facilities, as consideration for various licensing arrangements with
other companies, and in conducting other general business. Stock warrant activity is summarized as
follows:

27
(13) Redeemable Preferred Stock
In March and May 2009, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 5.3 million Preferred
Shares to Oak for aggregate gross consideration of $40.0 million. In connection with the issuance
of the Initial and Second Oak Closing Shares, the Company incurred expenses of $1.4 million. These
expenses were related to legal fees and investment banker commissions which were recorded in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets for the year ended December 31, 2009, as a reduction of
additional paid in capital, rather than expense. Accordingly, the Preferred Shares are presented
at $38.6 million in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets for the year ended December 31,
2009 ($40.0 million of aggregate Oak proceeds less $1.4 million of closing expenses in connection
therewith).
Each Preferred Share will be voted with common shares on an as-converted basis and is
initially convertible, at any time, into four shares of the Companys common stock, though is
subject to broad-based weighted-average anti-dilution protection in the event that the Company
issues additional shares at or below the then-applicable conversion price for such share (initially
$1.90 per share). This provision will not be triggered, however, unless and until the Company
issues shares that, when aggregated with all shares issued after the initial closing, have an
aggregate offer or issue price exceeding $5.0 million. The Preferred Shares will automatically
convert if, at any time beginning 12 months after March 26, 2009, the Companys common stock price
is above $4.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the
like) for 20 consecutive trading days over a 30-day trading period (all of which trading days must
fall after March 27, 2010).
The Preferred Shares are senior to the Companys common stock with respect to liquidation
preference and dividends, in the event declared, in proportion to the relative number of common
shares on an as-converted basis. The Preferred Shares do not accrue dividends. Upon any
liquidation of the Company, before any distribution or payment is made to any other stockholders,
each Preferred Share holder is entitled to receive a liquidation payment. The liquidation payment
is the greater of (1) the initial purchase price of $7.60 per Preferred Share (equal to $1.90 per
common share on an if-converted basis, and subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock
dividends or other recapitalizations) plus declared and unpaid dividends thereon or (2) such amount
per Preferred Share as would have been payable had each Preferred Share been converted into common
stock immediately prior to such liquidation. At any time after March 26, 2013, the Company may,
at its option, redeem all Preferred Shares for an amount equal to its full liquidation
preference.
The Companys stock price on the NASDAQ Capital Market closed at $2.65 per common share on
December 31, 2009, which exceeded the Preferred Shares $1.90 liquidation value per common share on
an if-converted basis. The Company therefore calculated the Preferred Shares liquidation
preference of $55.8 million, disclosed in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, by
multiplying 21.1 million common shares (on an if-converted basis from Preferred Shares) by the
$2.65 per common share value. The Company has determined that the events included within the Oak
Purchase Agreement, that would give rise to a liquidation payment to the holders of the Preferred
Shares, were of minimal probability of occurrence. There are no planned or developing transactions
known to the Companys management that would result in the liquidation of the Company, or result in
any change of control of the Company, to require such liquidation payment by the Company to the
holders of the Preferred Shares. The carrying amount of the Preferred Shares will be adjusted to
its redemption amount only in the event that redemption becomes probable.
The redemption rights of the Preferred Shares are immediately triggered by the occurrence of
certain business events enumerated in the Stock Purchase Agreement with Oak. All such business
events are deemed to be within the Companys control, except beginning in the third quarter of
2009, an event of a change in control of the Company, whether by acquisition or merger. As of
August 21, 2009, an event of a change of control of the Company became possible with the effective
registration of Safeguards holdings in the Company through a registration statement on Form S-3
filed with the SEC (the Safeguard S-3). The Safeguard S-3 resulted in the ability of a
third-party to acquire over 50% of registered shares of the Company on the open market. Due to
limitations of the resale of Safeguards then unregistered securities of the Company under Rule 144
of the Securities Act, a change of control could not legally occur prior to the effectiveness of
the Safeguard S-3. Accordingly, the Preferred Shares have been reclassified to temporary equity
(rather than permanent equity) within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, as required
under applicable GAAP, since all such redemption events are not solely at the option of the Company
as of December 31, 2009.

The Company has evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of its gross
deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of future taxable income, and has determined
that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to such
uncertainties surrounding the realizability of the deferred tax assets, the Company maintains a
full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2009. Realization of
the deferred tax assets will be primarily dependent upon the Companys ability to generate
sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of its net operating losses.
The Companys deferred tax assets and valuation allowance increased by $0.9 million as of
December 31, 2009, from December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of the Companys 2009 operating
losses and the deferred tax assets which relate to the AGI acquisition (see Note 15). The
Companys deferred tax assets and valuation allowance increased by $3.2
million as of December 31, 2008, from December 31, 2007, primarily as a result of the Companys
2008 operating losses. The Companys deferred tax assets and valuation allowance decreased by $1.0
million as of December 31, 2007, from December 31, 2006,
primarily as a result of a $3.2 million reduction for tax positions relating to research and development activities, partially offset by
2007 operating losses.
29
The Company did not include potential federal and state research and development credits of
$0.4 million generated by AGI prior to its acquisition by the Company, thus the $60.2 million gross
deferred tax assets balance as of December 31, 2009 excludes such amount. The Company is in
process of evaluating these potential research and development credits and expects to adjust its
gross deferred tax assets balance for such estimated available amount, if any, in 2010.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for federal and
state income tax purposes of approximately $139.7 million and $85.4 million, respectively, which
expire during the years 2011 through 2029.
Included in the net operating loss deferred tax asset above is approximately $1.7 million of
the federal net operating loss carryforwards attributable to excess stock option deductions. Due to
the provisions of accounting for share-based payments concerning the timing of tax benefits related
to excess stock deductions that can be credited to additional paid in capital, the related
valuation allowance cannot be reversed, even if the facts and circumstances indicate that it is
more likely than not that the deferred tax asset can be realized. The valuation allowance will only
be reversed as the related deferred assets are applied to reduce taxes payable. The Company follows
tax law ordering to determine when such net operating loss has been realized.
Due to both historical and recent changes in the capitalization structure of the Company, the
utilization of net operating losses may be limited, pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue
Code.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted applicable GAAP which clarifies the criteria for
recognizing tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, and requires additional financial
statement disclosure. Such GAAP requires that the Company recognize in its consolidated financial
statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to be sustained
upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position.
30
The following is a rollforward of the Companys total gross unrecognized tax benefits,
excluding interest and penalties, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007. These
amounts relate to unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized,
absent the valuation allowance:

The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of income tax expense, but recognized no interest or penalties during the year ended
December 31, 2009. The Company does not expect any significant increases or decreases to its
unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of December 31, 2009. The Company does not expect any
material increase or decrease in its income tax expense during the next 12 months related to
examinations or changes in uncertain tax positions.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction,
various states, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years 2006 and forward remain open for examination
for federal tax purposes and tax years 2005 and forward remain open for examination for the
Companys more significant state tax jurisdictions. To the extent used in future years tax
returns, net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 2009 will remain subject
to examination until the respective tax year of utilization is closed.
(15) Business Combination
AGI Acquisition Overview
On December 21, 2009 (the Closing Date), the Company completed the acquisition of all the
issued and outstanding stock of AGI (the AGI Acquisition) in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of December 21, 2009,
by and between the Company and AGI (the AGI Agreement). As of the Closing Date, AGI developed 10
prognostic and predictive multivariate immunohistochemistry-based (IHC) biomarkers for use in
assessing the recurrence rates of various cancers, particularly lung cancer, and the likelihood of
favorable response to various treatment options. The Company intends to use the intellectual
property obtained through the AGI Acquisition to expand its menu of oncology diagnostic testing
services. Since December 21, 2009, the results of operations of AGI have been included in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
31
On the Closing Date, two former executive officers of AGI joined the Company as its Chief
Scientific Officer and Senior Vice President and General Manager, Huntsville Facility, and
Technology Assessment. Six other former employees of AGI have also joined the Company in business
development, research and development, and laboratory services roles.
The AGI purchase price consisted of 4.4 million of the Companys common shares (the Upfront
Shares) and a maximum of an additional 3.2 million of its common shares (the Contingent Shares),
upon the achievement of certain revenue and scientific publication milestones (the AGI
Milestones) by December 31, 2012. The Companys management believes that the milestones have a
high probability of being met, thus resulting in the issuance of the Contingent Shares for a total
purchase price consisting of 7.6 million common shares, inclusive of the issuance of 0.6 million
stock option awards, exchanged from AGI stock into Company stock. The 0.6 million exchanged stock
options awards were estimated by the Companys management to be of equal value as of the Closing
Date.
The Companys closing stock price on December 21, 2009 was $2.48 per common share. The AGI
purchase price equates to $15.6 million (7.6 million shares multiplied by $2.48, less $3.2
million). The $3.2 million represents, in the aggregate, the Companys estimate of an appropriate
discount to the purchase price for (i) certain liquidity restrictions on the Upfront and Contingent
Shares, (ii) the contingency associated with the Contingent Shares, and (iii) the volatility
associated with the Companys stock, net of the expected proceeds to the Company from future
exercises of the exchanged stock option awards.
The AGI acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under applicable GAAP,
requiring the use of the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on
the Closing Date.
As of December 31, 2009, an aggregate 1.4 million of the Contingent Shares met the
requirements for liability accounting under applicable GAAP (the Variable Shares). The Variable
Shares are variable with respect to number of common shares that, depending on the sequence of AGI
Milestone achievements, are issuable by December 31, 2012, though limited to an aggregate issuance
of 3.2 million Contingent Shares. The Company, therefore, recorded a $2.7 million long term
liability reported as contingently issuable common shares on its Consolidated Balance Sheets as
of December 31, 2009. The $2.7 million long term liability was derived from a calculation
performed by the Company that involves the estimated probability and timing of Variable Share
achievement, into a single, present-valued amount, utilizing (i) certain liquidity restrictions on
the Variable Shares, (ii) the contingency associated with the Variable Shares, and (iii) the
volatility associated with the Companys stock.
The fair value of the Variable Shares was determined based on Level 3 inputs (see Note 2(m)).
The following table summarizes the fair value measurements of the Variable Shares:

Direct Costs of the AGI Acquisition

million. Such amount is included in general and administrative expenses within the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Identified intangible assets associated with the acquisition of AGI will be amortized to cost
of services or research and development over the estimated period of benefit. The below table
summarizes the acquired identifiable intangible assets fair value, estimated useful life,
estimated annual amortization expense, and expense classification in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations:

(a) | To estimate fair value of biomarkers, the Company used the income approach which is a valuation technique that converts the estimated commercialization probability and future expected net cash flows to be derived from these assets into a single, present-valued amount. | |
(b) | To estimate fair value of issued patents and patent applications, the Company used the cost approach which determines the fair value in terms of cost (i.e. current cash expenditures) required to recreate or develop the underlying intangible assets. | |
(c) | To estimate fair value, the Company determined the cash flows that are protected by the non-competition agreements using a variant of the income approach, called the postulated loss of income approach. In applying this approach, the Companys cash flows were forecasted in two separate scenarios: one with and one without the presence of the non-competition agreements. The difference in cash flows, at present value, represents the benefit of the non-competition agreements. |
Goodwill
Goodwill of $4.0 million represents the difference of the AGI purchase price of $15.6 million
minus the net identifiable intangible and tangibles assets acquired. None of the goodwill
resulting from the AGI Acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In accordance
with GAAP, the Company will not amortize goodwill, though goodwill is subject to periodic
impairment testing.

Significant Operating Leases
The Company has a number of active laboratory equipment and office equipment leases (capital
and operating) with various providers as of December 31, 2009. See Note 8 for a table of the
Companys capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2009. The Companys most significant
operating leases are discussed below.
Corporate Headquarters and Diagnostic Services Laboratory: The Companys corporate
headquarters and diagnostic services laboratory is located in Aliso Viejo, California, where it
leases a facility of approximately 78,000 square feet. The initial ten-year term of the lease
commenced on December 1, 2005, and the Company has the option to extend the lease term for up to
two additional five-year periods. The annual base rent was increased to $1.4 million on December 1,
2008, exclusive of certain maintenance expenses for which the Company is responsible. Thereafter,
the base rent will be increased 3.0% annually effective on December 1 of each year.
The landlord of the Companys Aliso Viejo facility has agreed to reimburse the Company up to
$3.5 million for the costs associated with various facility improvements. Through December 31,
2009, the landlord has reimbursed the Company $3.3 million of such costs.
Research and Development and Biopharmaceutical Services Centers: The Company leases its
research and development and biopharmaceutical services centers in Huntsville, Alabama and
Burlingame, California, comprising approximately 6,500 aggregate square feet. The Huntsville lease
expires in January 2013. The Burlingame lease expires in March 2010 and will not be renewed. The
aggregate annual base rent for these facilities is $0.1 million.
At December 31, 2009, future minimum lease payments for all operating leases were as follows
(in thousands):

Legal Proceedings
The Company, from time to time, is involved in legal actions arising from the ordinary course
of business. In the opinion of the Companys management, the ultimate disposition of any
threatened or pending legal actions, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material
adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, or results of operations.
35
(18) Corrections of Immaterial Presentation Error in Prior Period
During the third quarter of 2009, the Company determined that it did not properly present the
income tax effect of the ACIS Sale (see Note 4) between continuing operations and discontinued
operations on its Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, and
its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
six months ended June 30, 2009. Applicable GAAP provides guidance on the process by which an
entity should allocate its total tax provision or benefit to the various components of the income
statement, including continuing and discontinued operations.
The ACIS Sale occurred on March 8, 2007. Previously reported income from discontinued
operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $5.4 million. The proper presentation under
applicable GAAP requires the associated income tax benefit within continuing operations, and income
from discontinued operations to be presented net of income taxes, as summarized in the below table.
The Company evaluated the materiality of the errors, which had no impact on previously
reported net loss, from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and concluded that the errors in
presentation were immaterial to the previously filed consolidated financial statements. The below
table summarizes the adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2007 (in thousands):
Year Ended | ||||||||

See Note 16 for a table summarizing the effects of such adjustments for the three months ended
March 31, 2009. Zeiss, the acquirer in the ACIS Sale, acknowledged the satisfaction of certain
post-closing conditions. In connection therewith, a $1.5 million payment was due to the Company in
March 2009, though was received in April 2009. The Company previously recorded the $1.5 million as
income from discontinued operations to its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2009. The proper presentation under applicable GAAP requires the
associated income tax benefit within continuing operations, and income from discontinued operations
to be presented net of income taxes.
