manufacturer and distributor of high performance liquid chromatography (&#147;HPLC&#148;) instruments, chromatography columns and other consumables, and related service. The Company believes it has the largest HPLC market share in the United States,
Europe and non-Japan Asia and believes it has a leading position in Japan. HPLC, the largest product segment of the analytical instrument market, is utilized in a broad range of industries to detect, identify, monitor and measure the chemical,
physical and biological composition of materials, and to purify a full range of compounds. Through its Micromass Limited (&#147;Micromass&#148;) subsidiary, the Company believes it is a market leader in the development, manufacture and distribution
of mass spectrometry (&#147;MS&#148;) instruments, which are complementary products that can be integrated and used along with other analytical instruments, especially HPLC. Through its TA Instruments, Inc. (&#147;TAI&#148;) subsidiary, the Company
believes it is also the world&#146;s leader in thermal analysis, a prevalent and complementary technique used in the analysis of polymers. As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, these three operating segments have been
aggregated into one reporting segment for financial statement purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

financial statements in order to be consistent with the current year&#146;s classifications. In particular, the Company reclassified field service expenses associated with service revenues from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of
sales in 2002. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, the amount of costs reclassified to cost of sales were $14.6 million and $27.8 million, respectively, and the gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 6.7% for each
period. This change was primarily a result of the integration of the Company&#146;s HPLC and MS field sales, service and distribution operations and to align the Company&#146;s reporting with the majority of other companies in the same industry. In
the first quarter of 2003, the Company reclassified all MS and thermal analysis demonstration (&#147;demo&#148;) inventory from property, plant and equipment, net, to inventories. At December 31, 2002, the amount of demo inventory reclassified to
inventories was $18.7 million. The primary reason for this change was to consistently classify demo inventory across product segments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

method of accounting for legal costs associated with litigating patent cases effective January 1, 2002. Prior to the change, the Company capitalized these patent costs and amortized them over the estimated remaining economic life of the patent.
Under the new method, these costs are expensed as incurred. The Company believes that this change is preferable because it provides a better comparison with the Company&#146;s industry peers, the majority of which expense these costs as incurred.
The $4.5 million cumulative effect of the change on prior years (after reduction for income taxes of $1.3 million) is included as a charge to net income as of January 1, 2002. The effect of the change on the three months ended June 30, 2002 was to
decrease net income by approximately $1.2 million or $0.01 per diluted share. The effect of the change on the six months ended June 30, 2002 was to decrease income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle approximately $1.4
million or $0.01 per diluted share and net income $5.9 million or $0.04 per diluted share. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

$53.7 million to the plaintiffs. These instruments are manufactured in the United Kingdom and shipments to the rest of the world outside of the United States are not subject to this litigation. Similar claims have been asserted against the Company
in Japan and Canada, and there is a possibility that claims may be made with respect to other products in the mass spectrometry product line. Based on the facts available to management, the Company believes the outcome of any such claims, should
they be brought, cannot be predicted with certainty, but could be material to the Company&#146;s financial position, results of operations and liquidity. The Company believes, however, that the results of the current U.S. litigation will not control
the decisions in other countries. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company believes that
any liability ultimately incurred will not likely exceed the provisions recorded, including interest, court costs, legal fees and other charges. However, in the event of an unanticipated adverse final determination in respect of certain matters, the
Company&#146;s consolidated net income for the period in which such determination occurs could be materially affected. Although sufficient uncertainties exist to preclude the Company from precisely determining the amount of its liability, the
accrued patent litigation expenses of $20.3 and $74.9 million recorded as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets, is the Company&#146;s best estimate of its exposure for this liability based on
information currently available. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded a $.5 million pre-tax charge for additional liabilities associated with interest costs. The Company paid damages and interest of $53.7 million, made
legal payments of $.4 million, and reversed approximately $.9 million of interest as a one-time credit to interest expense in the quarter. Applera Corporation has brought actions based on the Japanese and Canadian patent counterparts in Japan and
Canada. The Company believes it has meritorious arguments and should prevail in these countries, although the outcome is not certain. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company filed suit in the U.S. against Hewlett-Packard Company and Hewlett-Packard GmbH (collectively, &#147;HP&#148;), seeking a declaration that certain products
sold under the mark &#147;Alliance&#148; do not constitute an infringement of one or more patents owned by HP or its foreign subsidiaries (the &#147;HP patents&#148;). The action in the U.S. was dismissed for lack of controversy. Actions seeking
revocation or nullification of foreign HP patents were filed by the Company in Germany, France and England. A German patent tribunal found the HP German patent to be valid. In Germany, France and England, HP and its successor, Agilent Technologies
Deutschland GmbH, have brought an action alleging certain features of the Alliance pump may infringe the HP patents. In England, the Court of Appeal has found the HP patent valid and infringed. The Company&#146;s petitions for leave to appeal to the
House of Lords have been denied. In France, the Paris District Court has found the HP patent valid and infringed by the Alliance pump. The Company has appealed the French decision. A German court has found the patent infringed. The Company has
appealed the German decision. The Company recorded a provision in the second quarter of 2002 for estimated damages incurred with respect to this ongoing litigation. This provision represents management&#146;s best estimate of the probable and
reasonably estimable loss related to this litigation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

emissions from the Taunton facility and for the purchase of certain equipment in connection therewith. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company has also agreed to undertake a variety of actions to ensure that air emissions from
the facility do not exceed certain limits and that the facility is brought into full compliance with all applicable environmental regulations. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had an accrued liability of $6.3 million for this settlement and related

of Variable Interest Entities.&#148; This interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, &#147;Consolidated Financial Statements,&#148; relating to consolidation of certain entities. FIN 46 requires identification
of the Company&#146;s participation in variable interest entities (VIE), which are defined as entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future activities to permit them to operate on a stand alone basis, or whose equity
holders lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. For entities identified as VIE, FIN 46 sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based on an assessment of which party to the VIE, if any, bears a majority of the
risk to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. The Company has not created any variable interest in any
variable interest entities subsequent to January 31, 2003. FIN 46 also sets forth certain disclosures regarding interests in VIE&#146;s that are deemed significant, even if consolidation is not required. The Company does not own any entities for

million or 5% increase in total expenses for the 2003 Quarter included an increase of approximately $4.3 million as a result of currency translation, offset by a reduction in operating expenses of $1.0 million, excluding effects of currency
translation. This reduction in operating expenses is due to the recently completed HPLC and mass spectrometry field sales and service integration efforts generating lower headcount and labor costs, associated fringe benefits costs and travel costs.
These reductions were partially offset by annual merit increases effective April 2003 across most divisions. The increase of $9.2 million in operating expenses for the 2003 Period is primarily attributed to foreign exchange translation of
approximately $8.2 million. Realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses were gains of approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million in the 2003 Quarter and 2003 Period, respectively, compared to losses of $.7 million and $1.0

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Interest expense was in a credit position of $.3 million for the 2003 Quarter, resulting from a true-up of an estimate for interest expense, resulting in a reduction of
$.9 million relating to the final calculation of interest expense paid in connection with the Applera litigation (Note 10). Excluding this change in estimate, interest expense for the 2003 Quarter and the 2003 Period would have been $.6 million and
$1.7 million, respectively, compared to $.4 million and $.7 million for the 2002 Quarter and the 2002 Period, respectively. The increase of $.2 million in the 2003 Quarter and $1.0 million for the 2003 Period is primarily attributed to interest
expense on borrowings against the Company&#146;s credit facility during the quarter to fund the stock repurchase programs. There were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility during the 2002 Quarter and 2002 Period. </FONT></P> <P

Company&#146;s stock repurchase programs. There was no change in interest income between the 2003 Period and the 2002 Period as average cash balances were approximately the same. In addition, the Company&#146;s average investment yields on its

Quarter the Company paid $53.7 million in connection with the Applera patent litigation. Excluding the effects of currency translation and the Rheometrics acquistion, accounts receivable decreased approximately $15.9 million due to an expected
decrease in sales volume in the 2003 Period compared to the second half of fiscal year 2002. Days-sales-outstanding (DSO&#146;s) were approximately 76 days at June 30, 2003 and 1 day favorable in constant exchange rates versus the same period last
year. Within liabilities, a decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities used $28.2 million, primarily as income and other tax liabilities and annual incentive payments were made. An increase in deferred revenue and customer advances

over a two-year period. As of June 30, 2003 2,450 shares had been purchased under the plan for $66.9 million. In the aggregate, the Company repurchased 6,849 shares of its common stock for $167.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
The Company had net borrowings at the end of the 2003 Period of $115.8 million, primarily relating to borrowings in the U.S. under the Company&#146;s credit facility for the stock repurchases. Other uses of cash flow during the 2003 Period were
$18.9 million for acquisitions and $20.2 million for property, plant and equipment and software capitalization investments. The Company expects the property, plant and equipment capital investment to be similar in the second half of 2003. From
