Highlight of Business Operations:

As consideration for the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, we paid 577,960 shares of common stock, par value $0.00025 per share, of the Company, valued at a volume weighted average price per share equal to $4.325560, and subject to a post-closing adjustment based on the Final Closing Net Working Capital (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, 15% of the aggregate consideration is to be held in escrow to cover any potential indemnification claims under the Purchase Agreement for a period of 12 months following the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). As part of the Purchase Agreement, TranSenda agreed not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of BioClinicas common stock received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for a period beginning on the date the Purchase Agreement was executed and continuing to and including the date 12 months after such date. We recorded the fair value of the acquisition of $2,468,000 based on our market value of $4.27 on March 25, 2010, the date of acquisition.

Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues were $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $3.1 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $561,000, or 17.9%. Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues consist of payments received from the customer for reimbursable costs. Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues fluctuate significantly over the course of any given project, and quarter to quarter variations are a reflection of this project timing. Therefore, our management believes that reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues are not a significant indicator of our overall performance trends. At the request of our clients, we may directly pay the independent radiologists who review our clients imaging data. In such cases, per contractual arrangement, these costs are billed to our clients and are included in reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues.

Amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions was $138,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $112,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $26,000, or 23.2%. Amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions consisted primarily of amortization of customer backlog, customer relationships, software and non-compete intangibles acquired from the acquisitions of PDS, Tourtellotte, TranSenda and Theralys. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Tourtellotte and TranSenda. We expect that the amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions will increase due to the acquisition of TranSenda and as we look to continue to expand our pharmaceutical contract services through potential acquisitions.

Costs related to restructuring were $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and $466,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. In the second quarter of 2009, in order to streamline the operations and reduce costs, management decided to eliminate certain positions and consolidate redundant departments. This resulted in restructuring charges of $466,000 consisting of $439,000 in employee severance and $27,000 in other close down costs. We have paid the $466,000 in the third and fourth quarters of 2009 and nothing is left to be paid from the restructuring at December 31, 2009. We do not expect any additional costs from the 2009 restructuring plan.
