        million and $0.12 per common share, for the third quarter of 2008.

    --  Adjusted cash basis net income available to common stockholders and
        earnings per share of $66.6 million and $0.74 per diluted common

        third quarter of 2008.


Highlights for the third quarter of 2009:
    --  Currency adjusted organic revenue growth of 9.2% in our Professional
        Diagnostics business, excluding North American influenza sales.

        quarter of 2009, compared to $6.8 million for the third quarter of
2008.

    --  Recent acquisitions contributed $37.4 million of incremental net
        revenue, compared to the third quarter of 2008.


The Company's GAAP results for the third quarter of 2009 include amortization
of $65.4 million, $6.2 million of restructuring charges, $7.8 million of
stock-based compensation expense, a $0.7 million charge associated with the
write-up to fair market value of inventory acquired in connection with the
acquisition of Concateno plc, a $1.9 million compensation charge incurred in
connection with the acquisition of Concateno plc, a $0.3 million loss recorded
in connection with deferred purchase price consideration to be paid with our

$2.9 million net realized foreign currency gain associated with restricted
cash established in connection with the Concateno plc acquisition.  GAAP
results for the third quarter of 2008 include amortization of $60.0 million,
$5.8 million of restructuring charges and $7.0 million of stock-based
compensation expense.  These amounts, net of tax, have been excluded from the
adjusted cash basis net income per common share for the respective quarters.

(a) In calculating net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis, the Company
excludes from net income or loss (i) certain non-cash charges, including
amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring
charges and income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a
significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a
consistent or regular basis in its business.  In determining whether a
particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and
circumstances that it believes are relevant.  Management believes that
excluding such charges and income from net income or loss allows investors and
management to evaluate and compare the Company's operating results from
continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent
manner.  Due to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company
does not adjust net income or loss for the costs associated with litigation,
including payments made or received through settlements.  It should be noted
that "net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis" is not a standard
financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income or loss or cash flow from operating activities, as a
measure of liquidity or as an indicator of operating performance or any
measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, all
companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and,
accordingly, "net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis" presented in this
press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other
companies.

(b)  Amortization expense of $185.3 million and $155.1 million in the first
nine months of 2009 and 2008 GAAP results, respectively, including $30.5
million and $34.2 million charged to cost of sales, $3.2 million and $2.8
million charged to research and development and $150.9 million and $117.4
million charged to selling, general and administrative, in the respective
periods, with $0.7 million charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated
entities, net of tax during each of the respective periods.

(c)  Restructuring charges associated with the decision to close facilities of
$16.5 million and $45.7 million in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 GAAP
results, respectively.  The $16.5 million charge for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 included $6.1 million charged to cost of sales, $0.9
million charged to research and development, $5.1 million charged to selling,
general and administrative, $0.5 million charged to interest expense and $3.9
million charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of
tax.  The $45.7 million charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
included $16.4 million charged to cost of sales, $6.9 million charged to
research and development, $9.6 million charged to selling, general and
administrative, $6.9 million charged to interest expense and $6.0 million
charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax.  These
charges have been excluded from net income or loss because they have a
significant impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular
basis in the Company's business.

(d)  Compensation costs of $20.3 million and $19.7 million associated with
stock-based compensation expense in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008
GAAP results, respectively, including $1.5 million and $1.0 million charged to
cost of sales, $3.7 million and $3.4 million charged to research and
development and $15.1 million and $15.3 million charged to selling, general
and administrative, in the respective periods.

(e)  Write-off in the amount of $0.7 million and $2.0 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, relating to inventory
write-ups recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Concateno plc during
the third quarter of 2009 and BBI Holdings Plc. during the first quarter of
2008, respectively.

(f) Acquisition-related costs in the amount of $11.5 million recorded in
connection with the adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, on January 1,
2009.

(g)  A $2.9 million net realized foreign currency gain and a $1.7 million net
realized foreign currency loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively, associated with restricted cash established in
connection with the acquisitions of Concanteno plc during the third quarter of
2009 and BBI Holdings Plc during the first quarter of 2008, respectively.

(h) A $3.4 million gain associated with management's decision to dispose of
our Diamics, Inc. operations.

(i) A $1.9 million compensation-related charge recorded in connection with the
acquisition of Concateno plc.

(j) A $0.3 million loss recorded in connection with the deferred payment of a
portion of the ACON Second Territory Business purchase price consideration to
be paid with our common stock.

(k) Tax effect on adjustments as discussed above in notes (b), (c), (d), (e)
(f), (g), (h), (i) and (j).

(l) For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, potential dilutive shares
were not used in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share under
GAAP because inclusion thereof would be antidilutive.

(m)  Included in the weighted average diluted common shares for the
calculation of net income per common share for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, on an adjusted cash basis, are dilutive shares consisting of
1,428,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential exercise of stock
options and warrants.  Also included were potential dilutive shares consisting
of 3,422,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential conversion of
convertible debt securities, 10,985,000 common stock equivalent shares from
the potential conversion of Series B convertible preferred stock and 346,000
common stock equivalents from the potential settlement of a portion of the
deferred purchase price consideration related to the ACON Second Territory
Business. The diluted net income per common share calculation for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, on an adjusted cash basis, includes the add
back of interest expense related to the convertible debt of $2.1 million, the
add back of $17.1 million of preferred stock dividends related to the Series B
convertible preferred stock and the add back of interest expense related to
the ACON Second Territory Business of $0.2 million resulting in net income
available to common stockholders of $184.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.

(n)  Included in the weighted average diluted common shares for the
calculation of net income per common share for the nine months ended September
30, 2008, on an adjusted cash basis, are dilutive shares consisting of
2,349,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential exercise of stock
options and warrants and potential dilutive shares consisting of 3,411,000
common stock equivalent shares from the potential conversion of convertible
debt securities. The net income per diluted share calculation for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, on an adjusted cash basis, includes the add
back of interest expense related to the convertible debt of $2.1 million
resulting in net income available to common stockholders of $108.6 million.
Potential dilutive shares consisting of 5,479,000 common stock equivalent
shares from the potential conversion of Series B convertible preferred stock
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were not used in the calculation
of diluted net income per common share, on an adjusted cash basis, because
inclusion thereof would be antidilutive.

(a) In calculating net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis, the Company
excludes from net income or loss (i) certain non-cash charges, including
amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring
charges and income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a
significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a
consistent or regular basis in its business.  In determining whether a
particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and
circumstances that it believes are relevant.  Management believes that
excluding such charges and income from net income or loss allows investors and
management to evaluate and compare the Company's operating results from
continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent
manner.  Due to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company
does not adjust net income or loss for the costs associated with litigation,
including payments made or received through settlements.  It should be noted
that "net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis" is not a standard
financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income or loss or cash flow from operating activities, as a
measure of liquidity or as an indicator of operating performance or any
measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, all
companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and,
accordingly, "net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis" presented in this
press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other
companies.

(b) Amortization expense of $65.4 million and $60.0 million in the third
quarter of 2009 and 2008 GAAP results, respectively, including $10.3 million
and $10.5 million charged to cost of sales, $0.9 million and $1.0 million
charged to research and development and $54.0 million and $48.3 million
charged to selling, general and administrative, in the respective periods,
with $0.2 million charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities,
net of tax during each of the respective periods.

(c) Restructuring charges associated with the decision to close facilities of
$6.2 million and $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 GAAP
results, respectively.  The $6.2 million charge for the third quarter of 2009
included $2.6 million charged to cost of sales, $0.1 million charged to
research and development, $2.4 million charged to selling, general and
administrative, $0.2 million charged to interest expense and $0.9 million
charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax.  The
$5.8 million charge for the third quarter of 2008 included $1.8 million
charged to cost of sales, $0.3 million charged to research and development,
$3.4 million charged to selling, general and administrative and $0.3 million
charged to interest expense.  These charges have been excluded from net income
or loss because they have a significant impact on results yet do not occur on
a consistent or regular basis in the Company's business.

(d) Compensation costs of $7.8 million and $7.0 million associated with
stock-based compensation expense for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 GAAP
results, respectively, including $0.6 million and $0.4 million charged to cost
of sales, $1.4 million and $1.1 million charged to research and development
and $5.8 million and $5.5 million charged to selling, general and
administrative, in the respective quarters.

(e) Write-off in the amount of $0.7 million relating to an inventory write-up
recorded in connection with the acquisition of Concateno plc during the third
quarter of 2009.

(f) Acquisition-related costs in the amount of $5.1 million recorded in
connection with the adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, on January 1,
2009.

(g) A $3.4 million gain associated with management's decision to dispose of
our Diamics, Inc. operations.

(h) A $2.9 million net realized foreign currency gain associated with
restricted cash established in connection with the acquisition of Concateno
plc.

(i) A $1.9 million compensation-related charge recorded in connection with the
acquisition of Concateno plc.

(j) A $0.3 million loss recorded in connection with the deferred payment of a
portion of the ACON Second Territory Business purchase price consideration to
be paid with our common stock.

(k) Tax effect on adjustments as discussed above in notes (b), (c), (d), (e)
(f), (g), (h), (i) and (j).

(l) For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, potential dilutive shares
were not used in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share under
GAAP because inclusion thereof would be antidilutive.

(m)  Included in the weighted average diluted common shares for the
calculation of net income per common share for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, on an adjusted cash basis, are dilutive shares consisting of
1,428,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential exercise of stock
options and warrants.  Also included were potential dilutive shares consisting
of 3,422,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential conversion of
convertible debt securities, 10,985,000 common stock equivalent shares from
the potential conversion of Series B convertible preferred stock and 346,000
common stock equivalents from the potential settlement of a portion of the
deferred purchase price consideration related to the ACON Second Territory
Business. The diluted net income per common share calculation for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, on an adjusted cash basis, includes the add
back of interest expense related to the convertible debt of $2.1 million, the
add back of $17.1 million of preferred stock dividends related to the Series B
convertible preferred stock and the add back of interest expense related to
the ACON Second Territory Business of $0.2 million resulting in net income
available to common stockholders of $184.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.

(n)  Included in the weighted average diluted common shares for the
calculation of net income per common share for the nine months ended September
30, 2008, on an adjusted cash basis, are dilutive shares consisting of
2,349,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential exercise of stock
options and warrants and potential dilutive shares consisting of 3,411,000
common stock equivalent shares from the potential conversion of convertible
debt securities. The net income per diluted share calculation for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, on an adjusted cash basis, includes the add
back of interest expense related to the convertible debt of $2.1 million
resulting in net income available to common stockholders of $108.6 million.
Potential dilutive shares consisting of 5,479,000 common stock equivalent
shares from the potential conversion of Series B convertible preferred stock
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were not used in the calculation
of diluted net income per common share, on an adjusted cash basis, because
inclusion thereof would be antidilutive.
