Highlight of Business Operations:

This arrangement is accounted for as a liability under ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480), and is measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Due to the nature of the associated contingency and the likelihood of occurrence, the Company has concluded the fair value of this liability was approximately $20,000 at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The most significant inputs in estimating the fair value of this liability are the probabilities that staffing levels fall below the prescribed minimum and that the Company is unable or unwilling to replace such employees within the prescribed time period. At both December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, the Company used a scenario analysis model to arrive at the fair value of the Scottish Enterprise Agreement and assumed a 30% probability of falling below a minimum staffing level and a 1% probability that the occurrence of such an event would not be cured within the prescribed time period. At each reporting period, the inputs used to determine the fair value of the liability will be evaluated to determine whether adjustments are appropriate. Changes in the value of this liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

We expect to recognize approximately $0.1 million in grant revenue over the next twelve to eighteen months from the European Union and approximately $1.9 million in grant revenue over the next two years from the UK Governments Biomedical Catalyst.

We entered into a termination and settlement agreement to terminate, effective September 30, 2012, our license to distribute the ALIGN products, after which we will no longer generate product revenue. Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax increased $1.4 million from a loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, to a gain of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is the result of a $1.2 million gain on termination of the distribution agreements, which represents the $0.9 million present value of the $1.0 million we will receive over the next three years as part of a minimum royalty arrangement included in our termination agreement with Sinclair and the recognition of $0.3 million associated with a $0.3 million product returns provision liability for which an offsetting asset has been recorded based on our rights under the termination and settlement agreement.

At September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17.8 million compared to $24.4 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in balance was primarily due to normal cash outflows required to operate our business, offset by $2.9 million in proceeds, net of certain expenses, received from a sale of common stock and Economic Rights completed in March 2012. Since our inception, we have not generated any significant revenue and have relied primarily on the proceeds from sales of equity and preferred securities to finance our operations and internal growth. Additional funding has come through income on our investments, licensing revenue, government grants and research and development tax credits. We have incurred significant losses since our inception. As of September 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $265.5 million.
