STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are a diversified medical technologies company specializing in diagnostic imaging products and interventional devices dedicated to serving the
healthcare needs of women. Historically, we have developed, manufactured and marketed products focused on mammography, breast care and osteoporosis assessment. In October 2007, we completed our business combination with Cytyc Corporation (also
referred to in this document as &#147;Cytyc&#148;), a company that develops, manufactures and markets complementary products covering a range of cancers and women&#146;s health indications, including cervical cancer screening, prenatal diagnostics
and partial breast radiation therapy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have historically focused our resources on developing systems and subsystems offering superior
image quality and diagnostic accuracy, which has enabled us to capture significant market share and customer loyalty, despite the presence of large competitors. As a result of our combination with Cytyc we intend to expand our focus to further
utilize Cytyc&#146;s strengths in the fields of obstetrics, gynecology, radiation oncology and minimally invasive surgery. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our mammography
and breast care products include a broad portfolio of breast imaging and related products, including digital and film-based mammography systems, computer-aided detection (CAD), breast biopsy guidance systems, minimally invasive breast biopsy and
tissue extraction devices and our recently acquired MammoPad breast cushion. Our osteoporosis assessment products primarily consist of dual-energy X-ray bone densitometry systems and an ultrasound-based osteoporosis assessment product. Our other
business unit includes our Fluoroscan mini C-arm imaging products, our Esaote line of extremity MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) systems that are manufactured by an original equipment manufacturer, and our photoconductor coating business, an
ancillary business that we acquired as part of our acquisition of AEG Elektrofotografie GmbH (&#147;AEG&#148;). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cytyc&#146;s product
offerings have historically been divided between diagnostic and surgical products. Cytyc&#146;s core diagnostic products are the ThinPrep System, which is primarily used in cytology testing applications, such as cervical cancer screening, and the
Full Term Fetal Fibronectin Test, which offers clinical and cost benefits for the assessment of the risk of pre-term birth. Cytyc&#146;s core surgical products include the NovaSure System, which enables physicians to treat women suffering from
excessive menstrual bleeding in a minimally invasive manner in order to eliminate or reduce their bleeding, the MammoSite Radiation Therapy System, which is a single-use device for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer, the GliaSite Radiation
Therapy System, which provides a full course of post-surgical radiation therapy using Iotrex, a proprietary, liquid radiation source for which Cytyc has an exclusive license, and the Adiana Complete Transcervical Sterilization System, which is a
form of permanent female contraception intended as an alternative to tubal ligation and for which Cytyc is in the process of seeking a pre-market approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the &#147;FDA&#148;). </FONT></P> <P

full field digital mammography system, a series of screen-film mammography systems, CAD systems for both screen-film and digital mammography, and a range of breast biopsy image guidance systems and breast biopsy devices. Our mammography and breast
care products include the following: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>DirectRay Digital Detector </I></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Digital radiography technologies can be divided into two classes: those that employ direct methods to convert x-ray energy into an electrical charge and
those that use indirect methods. Technologies using direct-conversion flat-panel digital detectors, such as our DirectRay flat panel detector, use a semiconductor coating, such as amorphous selenium (a-Se), to directly convert x-ray photons into an
electrical charge. No intensifying screens or additional processes are required to capture and convert the x-ray energy. Digital radiography technologies using indirect conversion detectors employ a two-step process for x-ray detection. Scintillator
coatings, such as cesium iodide or gadolinium oxysulfide, capture x-ray energy and convert it to light. An array of thin-film diodes then converts the light energy to electrical signals. We believe that other digital x-ray imaging technologies that
require light may compromise image resolution, lessening detection capability. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">DirectRay amorphous selenium coated detectors are
particularly well suited for high-quality digital imaging because selenium has high x-ray absorption efficiency, high intrinsic resolution and low noise. We believe that amorphous selenium technology results in high quality digital images across a
wide range of general radiographic applications and is particularly valuable for mammography, which has high-resolution requirements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

digital mammography systems are typically transmitted electronically for review by a radiologist at a work station. In 2005 we focused our product development activities on improving digital workflow in the breast-imaging suite. To this end, we
released the SecurViewDX breast imaging softcopy workstation, approved for interpretation of digital mammograms from most vendors as well as images from other diagnostic breast modalities. To complement this product, we also released the SecurViewRT
workstation, a technologist workstation enabling bi-directional exchange of electronic communications between the reviewer and the technologist. An additional configuration was added to the Selenia acquisition workstation to allow incorporation of a
second monitor and computer, providing all functionalities of the SecurViewRT workstation within the exam room. This configuration is called Selenia with TechMate. In 2006 we released two new products extending the functionality of our SecurViewDX
products: an Advanced Multimodality Package which allows simultaneous display and interpretation of digital mammograms, as well as breast images from other modalities, such as ultrasound and MR (magnetic resonance); and MR-CADWorks, a sophisticated

used by an increasing number of radiologists as &#147;a second pair of eyes&#148; when reading a woman&#146;s mammogram. The technology has the potential to detect findings that might otherwise be overlooked during the review process, thus
increasing cancer detection. R2&#146;s CAD technology assists physicians in the detection of breast cancer, actionable lung nodules and other lung abnormalities. R2 pioneered the use of CAD for mammography when its ImageChecker system was approved
by the FDA for film based mammography in 1998 and for digital mammography in 2001. In 2004, the FDA approved the use of R2&#146;s ImageChecker CAD technology customized for our Selenia full field digital mammography system. </FONT></P> <P

commercially available and for which we are seeking pre-market FDA approval. The system is designed specifically to address many of the limitations of two dimensional (2D) digital mammography, and is comprised of a mammography gantry capable of
performing both 2D and three dimensional (3D) image acquisition and display. The tomosynthesis system when operating in 3D mode acquires a series of low dose x-ray images taken in a scanning motion at various angles. The images are mathematically
processed into a series of one millimeter slices, revealing breast tissue from a three dimensional perspective. The purpose of the technology is to eliminate the tissue distortion and shadowing caused by breast compression required during a typical
mammography exam. By allowing the clinician to review breast tissue in three dimensional space, we believe the more subtle architecture of various types of suspicious lesions can be better interpreted, ultimately increasing cancer detection and
reducing unnecessary patient callbacks. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Osteoporosis Assessment Products </B></FONT></P> <P

trials of ultrasound systems have indicated a significant association of low ultrasonic bone measurements of the heel and the risk of fracture. Since ultrasound devices do not use x-rays in making their measurements, they do not require x-ray
licensed or registered operators. However, because ultrasound bone measurements currently are not as precise as x-ray and other measurements, they are less reliable for monitoring small changes in bone density or for assessing the response to
therapies. In addition, they are generally limited to measurements at peripheral skeletal sites, not the spine or hip, which are considered the optimal sites for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. We believe that our Sahara ultrasound system represents
a relatively low cost, portable, easy-to-use, non-ionizing measurement technique to assist in initial screening for osteoporosis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Other

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The ThinPrep Imaging System is a device that uses computer imaging technology to assist in primary cervical cancer screening of ThinPrep Pap Test slides
processed through the ThinPrep System. The system combines imaging technology to identify diagnostic fields of interest with an automated microscope to facilitate locating these fields. Cytotechnologists using the ThinPrep Imaging System are subject
to higher workload limits compared to the workload limits applicable to manual review of slides. As a result, Cytyc believes the ThinPrep Imaging System increases, and is expected to continue to increase, a cytology laboratory&#146;s screening
productivity and diagnostic accuracy while leveraging the increased effectiveness of the ThinPrep Pap Test. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>The ThinPrep Process.
</I>The ThinPrep process begins with the patient&#146;s cervical sample being taken by the physician using a cervical sampling device that, rather than being smeared on a microscope slide as in a conventional Pap smear, is rinsed in a vial filled
with Cytyc&#146;s proprietary PreservCyt Solution. This enables most of the patient&#146;s cell sample to be preserved before the cells can be damaged by air drying. The ThinPrep specimen vial is then labeled and sent to a laboratory equipped with a
ThinPrep Processor for slide preparation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">At the laboratory, the ThinPrep specimen vial is inserted into a ThinPrep Processor, a
proprietary sample preparation device which automates the process of preparing cervical specimens. Once the vial is inserted into the ThinPrep Processor, a dispersion step breaks up blood, mucus, non-diagnostic debris and large sheets of cells and
homogenizes the cell population. The cells are then automatically collected onto Cytyc&#146;s proprietary ThinPrep Pap Test Filter, which incorporates a porous membrane specifically designed to collect cells. The ThinPrep Processor constantly
monitors the rate of flow through the ThinPrep Pap Test filter during the cell collection process in order to prevent the cellular concentration from being too scant or too dense. A thin layer of cells is then transferred from the filter to a glass
slide in a 20 mm-diameter circle and the slide is automatically deposited into a fixative solution. This slide is then available for staining and microscopic examination. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The cytotechnologist manually screens each Pap test slide with a microscope to first determine the adequacy of the slide and to then differentiate diseased or abnormal cells from normal cells. With the ThinPrep
Imaging System, the screening process has been automated to combine the power of computer imaging technology and human interpretive skills. Prior to human review, the ThinPrep Imaging System rapidly scans and locates areas of interest for review.
The cytotechnologist then places the imaged slide onto the ThinPrep Imaging System review scope which automatically presents each area of interest to the cytotechnologist in geographic order. The cytotechnologist evaluates each area of interest,
selecting those areas which require further pathologist review, or the cytotechnologist may look beyond the identified areas of interest. Alternatively, the cytotechnologist can determine that the slide is negative and simply sign the case out. By
directing the cytotechnologist to areas of interest on a slide, the system may increase a cytology laboratory&#146;s screening productivity and diagnostic accuracy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

SIZE="2">The healthcare industry in general, and the markets our products compete in are highly competitive and characterized by continual change and improvement in technology, and multiple technologies that have been or are under development. A
number of companies have developed, or are expected to develop products that compete or will compete with our products. Many of these competitors offer a range of products in areas other than those in which we compete, which may make such
competitors more attractive to hospitals, radiology clients, group purchasing organizations, laboratories, physicians and other potential customers. In addition, many of our competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater financial
resources than we do and offer a range of products broader than our products. Some of the companies with whom we compete have or may have more extensive research, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and significantly greater technical and
personnel resources than we do, and may be better positioned to continue to improve their technology in order to compete in an evolving industry. The companies that have significantly greater resources and product breadth than we do include General
Electric Medical Systems (GE), Siemens, Philips, Fuji, Carestream Health (formerly Kodak), Becton, Dickinson and Company, Johnson &amp; Johnson, Boston Scientific and Toshiba. Competitors may develop superior products or products of similar quality
for sale at the same or lower prices. Moreover, our products could be rendered obsolete by new industry standards or changing technology. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors. </FONT></P> <P

Philips, PlanMed, Agfa, Carestream Health, Fuji, IMS Giotto, Sectra and Toshiba. Our FDA approved Selenia full field digital mammography system competes with products such as GE&#146;s and Siemens&#146; full field digital mammography system. Siemens
has adopted our DirectRay direct-to-digital detectors for use in their digital mammography system. In 2006, Fuji received FDA clearance to market its Computed Radiography (CR) mammography system, a lower priced alternative to digital mammography. CR
requires the use of an analog or film based mammography system, where instead of film, a phosphor plate is used to capture a facsimile of the image. It then requires an extra step of having the plate processed on a specialized reader to create a
digital image.<I> </I>In addition, Carestream Health has filed with the FDA to have its CR mammography product cleared for use. Agfa, Carestream Health, Cedara and Sectra have introduced approved mammography workstations and are marketing these in
competition with our line of radiologist review stations. Other companies are marketing digital mammography systems or technologies in Europe and other international markets and have or are expected to apply for FDA clearance in the U.S. In
addition, the FDA is considering reclassifying full field digital mammography systems from Class III to Class II devices. If this reclassification is implemented, these systems will be cleared for commercialization through the 510(k) process rather
than the more rigorous pre-market approval process, which may increase the number of competitors entering the United States market. The Company anticipates that competition in the digital mammography market will intensify. While we offer a broad
product line of breast imaging products, we compete most effectively in the high-end segment of the mammography market. We believe that our continued success will depend upon the continued success of our Selenia full field digital mammography
system, as well as our ability to maintain our technology leadership through product enhancements and the development of new products and technologies. Although Selenia systems are priced higher than competing technologies, we believe the Selenia
system provides outstanding performance in aiding physicians in the early detection of breast cancer due to its image quality and workflow features and functionality. Our MultiCare breast biopsy guidance systems compete with products offered by GE,
Siemens, PlanMed, IMS Giotto and with conventional surgical biopsy procedures. We believe Siemens has entered this market with its newly acquired prone technology. We believe that competition for our mammography and related systems is based largely
on image quality, product features, ease of use, product reliability and reputation as well as price and quality of service. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The primary

of the hip and spine systems. Other companies have developed lower priced x-ray and ultrasound based systems that assess bone status of peripheral skeletal sites, such as the heel, hand or wrist. Measurements of bone density at peripheral sites are
utilized for screening for osteoporosis risk, and patients identified as at risk by peripheral testing are commonly referred for spine and hip bone density testing. We believe that competition in the field of osteoporosis assessment bone
densitometry systems is based upon product versatility and features, price, precision, speed of measurement, reputation, cost and ease of operation, product reliability and quality of service. While we are generally not the lowest cost provider of
dual-energy x-ray systems, we believe that we have been able to compete effectively because of our advanced technology and product features, including vertebral assessment imaging. We offer our Explorer system for the more price sensitive segment of
the x-ray based osteoporosis assessment market, and our Sahara ultrasound bone analyzer for screening applications. We believe that competition in the field of osteoporosis assessment ultrasound systems is based on price, precision, speed of
measurement, cost and ease of operation, reputation, product reliability and quality of service. Because ultrasound systems can only measure peripheral skeletal sites and do not have the precision of dual-energy x-ray systems, we believe dual-energy
x-ray systems will continue to be the predominant means of diagnosis and monitoring of bone density changes for patients being treated for osteoporosis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

States for that product claim. A drug which is considered by the FDA to be different than such FDA-approved Orphan Drug is not barred from sale in the United States during such exclusive marketing period even if it receives approval for the same

provisions and the absence of extensive guidance regarding compliance. Violations of these laws may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including fines and civil monetary penalties, as well as the possibility of exclusion from federal
healthcare programs (including Medicare and Medicaid). If the government were to raise questions about our behavior or find that we have violated these laws, there could be a material adverse effect on our business. Our activities could be subject

establishes guidelines for the reimbursement of healthcare providers treating Medicare and Medicaid patients. Under current CMS guidelines, varying reimbursement levels have been established for bone density assessment, endometrial ablations,
mammography, surgical and other imaging, diagnostic and surgical procedures performed using our products. The actual reimbursement amounts are determined by individual state Medicare carriers and, for non-Medicare and Medicaid patients, private
insurance carriers. There are often delays between the reimbursement approvals by CMS and by a state Medicare carrier and private insurance carriers. Moreover, states as well as private insurance carriers may choose not to follow the CMS
reimbursement guidelines. The use of our products outside the United States is similarly affected by reimbursement policies adopted by foreign regulatory and insurance carriers. </FONT></P> <P

also implemented provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 related to certain medical imaging procedures. For 2008, the changes that affect us include the following: a decline of approximately 4% to 9% in digital and analog mammography
screening and diagnostic reimbursement rates, primarily due to the 10.1% SGR reduction; an approximately 22% decline in reimbursement for CAD, which reflects the second year of the four year phase-in of an approximately 50% decline announced in 2006
in addition to the SGR reduction. In November 2006, CMS announced reductions to the 2007 reimbursement levels for bone density assessments including an approximately 40% decline in 2007 in reimbursement for osteoporosis (DXA) testing, which
increases to an approximately 70% decline over four years. The increase in the decline for 2008 for reimbursement for DXA testing is approximately 2%. Medicare payments for 2008 for our other products are effected primarily by the SGR reduction, and
will decline by less than approximately 12%, with in-office payments for NovaSure and MammoSite balloon catheter placement declining by approximately 17%. Hospital outpatient department payments for placement of MammoSite balloon catheters will
increase by approximately 13%. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Congress has, from time to time overridden some or all of the proposed reduction in reimbursement. However,

adverse affect on the sales of those products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Employees </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Sales and market acceptance of our medical products in the United States and other countries is dependent on the reimbursement of
patient&#146;s medical expenses by government healthcare programs and private health insurers. The costs of our products to customers are substantial, and market acceptance of our products will continue to depend upon our customers&#146; ability to
obtain an appropriate level of reimbursement from third-party payors for use of such products. In the United States, the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services, known as CMS, establish guidelines for the reimbursement of healthcare providers
treating Medicare and Medicaid patients. Under current CMS guidelines, varying reimbursement levels have been established for our products and procedures. The actual reimbursement amounts are determined by individual state Medicare carriers and, for
non-Medicare and Medicaid patients, private insurance carriers. There are often delays between the reimbursement approvals by CMS and by a state Medicare carrier and private insurance carriers. Moreover, states as well as private insurance carriers
may choose not to follow the CMS reimbursement guidelines. The use of our products outside the United States is similarly affected by reimbursement policies adopted by foreign governments&#146; reimbursements and regulatory positions and insurance
carriers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In November 2007, the CMS announced reductions to the 2008 reimbursement levels for physician, hospital and ambulatory surgical
center payments. Such reimbursement rates also reflect a Sustainable Growth Rate (&#147;SGR&#148;) reduction which requires that reimbursement rates factor in a 10.1% reduction in physician payments under the physician fee schedule as determined by
the SGR formula. The most significant reductions for 2008 applicable to our products were an approximately 4% to 9% decline in digital and analog mammography screening and diagnostic reimbursement rates, primarily due to the 10.1% SGR reduction and
an approximately 22% decline, in addition to the SGR reduction, in reimbursement for CAD in 2008, the second year of the increases to an approximately 50% decline over four years as announced in 2006. Medicare payments in 2008 for our other products
are effected primarily by the SGR reduction, and will decline by less than approximately 12%,while in-office payments for NovaSure and MammoSite balloon catheter placement will decline by approximately 17%. In November 2006, CMS announced reductions
to the 2007 reimbursement levels for bone density assessments including an approximately 40% decline in 2007 in reimbursement for osteoporosis (DXA) testing, which increases to an approximately 70% decline over four years. The increase in the
decline for 2008 for reimbursement for DXA testing is approximately 2%. These reductions or any other reduction or adverse change in reimbursement policies for the use of our products could harm our business and prospects. </FONT></P> <P

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There is a significant installed base of conventional screen-film mammography products in hospitals and
radiological practices. The use of our direct-to-digital mammography products in many cases would require these potential customers to replace their existing x-ray imaging equipment. Moreover, as digital mammography products are generally more
expensive than conventional screen-film mammography products, we believe that a major factor in the market&#146;s acceptance of digital mammography products has been and will continue to be based upon the benefits of digital technology as compared
to less expensive technologies. As a result, the market for our digital mammography products has and will continue to be affected by published studies and reports relating to the comparative efficacy of digital mammography products. The publication
of an adverse study could significantly impair the adoption of this technology and harm our business. Similarly, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in continuing to attract physicians and women to use the NovaSure System, or whether or
not evolving trends in the treatment of excessive menstrual bleeding will favor new endometrial ablation procedures as compared to traditional approaches. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

applications of ThinPrep technology. The laboratory cost of using the ThinPrep System and ThinPrep Imaging System for cervical cancer screening, both together and individually, is higher than that of a conventional Pap smear and, we believe,
competing liquid-based slide preparation systems. Due in part to increased competitive pressures in the cytology screening market and healthcare industry to reduce costs, our ability to continue to gain market acceptance of the ThinPrep System and
follow-on products will depend on our ability to demonstrate that the higher cost of using the ThinPrep System is offset by (i) a reduction in costs often associated with conventional Pap smears or competing liquid-based slide preparation systems,
such as inaccurate diagnoses and the need for repeat Pap smears, as well as (ii) the ability to conduct additional testing, such as testing for the HPV, Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea on samples collected in a ThinPrep vial of
preservative. In particular, for the ThinPrep Imaging System, we will need to work with healthcare providers, insurance companies and other third-party payors, and clinical laboratories to reinforce the known clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness

us to seek one or more pre-market approval supplements or new pre-market approvals for any modification to a previously approved device, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall the modified device until we obtain approval, and we may be

recommendation, the reclassification would allow full-field digital mammography systems to be cleared for commercialization through the 510(k) process, which is less rigorous than the present pre-market approval process. If and when implemented, the

granted summary judgment in our favor, holding that the patent-in-suit is invalid, and dismissed Oleg Sokolov&#146;s complaint, thus leaving in the case only our counterclaims against Oleg Sokolov. In a related matter, the United States Patent and

However, while we intend to vigorously defend our interests, ongoing litigation can be costly and time consuming, and we cannot guarantee that we will prevail. On October 28, 1998, the plaintiff had previously sued Lorad, asserting, among other
things, that Lorad had misappropriated the plaintiff&#146;s trade secrets relating to the HTC Grid. This previous case was dismissed on August 28, 2000. The dismissal was affirmed by the Appellate Court of the State of Connecticut, and the United

asking the court to determine and declare that certain of TriPath Imaging, Inc.&#146;s (&#147;TriPath&#148;) patents are invalid and not infringed by Cytyc&#146;s ThinPrep Imaging System. On June 17, 2003, TriPath announced that it had filed a
lawsuit against Cytyc in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina alleging patent infringement, false advertising, defamation, intentional interference, unfair competition, and unfair and deceptive trade practices.
In its complaint TriPath sought the issuance of a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining Cytyc from infringing the asserted patents and to award unspecified damages, unspecified treble damages and attorneys&#146; fees, and the impounding and
destruction of the alleged infringing products. The non-patent claims have been dismissed and the patent cases have since been consolidated into a single action. In October of 2007, the parties entered into a settlement agreement. Under the terms of
the settlement agreement, Cytyc will pay TriPath an on-going royalty for a license under certain of TriPath&#146;s patents. The two parties have also agreed to a non-royalty bearing cross-license of other patents held by each company. The settlement
agreement resolves all pending litigation between the parties and permits Cytyc to continue making, using and selling the ThinPrep Imaging System. We do not believe that the settlement will have a material effect on our business, financial position
or results of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On or about October 5, 2007, Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., a Johnson &amp; Johnson operating company, filed a
complaint against us and our wholly-owned subsidiary Suros Surgical Systems, Inc. (&#147;Suros&#148;) in the United States District Court for the District of Ohio. The complaint alleges that certain of the ATEC biopsy systems manufactured and sold
by Suros infringe four Ethicon patents. The complaint seeks to enjoin Hologic and Suros from infringing the patents as well as the recovery of damages and costs resulting from the alleged infringement. Given the early stage of the litigation, we are
unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate outcome of this case. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are a party to various other legal proceedings arising out of the

or market. As a designer and manufacturer of high technology medical equipment, we may be exposed to a number of economic and industry factors that could result in portions of our inventory becoming either obsolete or in excess of anticipated usage.
These factors include, but are not limited to, technological changes in our markets, our ability to meet changing customer requirements, competitive pressures on products and prices, reliability and replacement of and the availability of key
components from our suppliers. Our policy is to establish inventory reserves when conditions exist that suggest that our inventory may be in excess of anticipated demand or is obsolete based upon our assumptions about future demand for our products
and market conditions. We regularly evaluate our ability to realize the value of our inventory based on a combination of factors including the following: historical usage rates, forecasted sales or usage, product end of life dates, estimated current
and future market values and new product introductions. Assumptions used in determining our estimates of future product demand may prove to be incorrect, in which case the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory would have to be
adjusted in the future. If inventory is determined to be overvalued, we would be required to recognize such costs as cost of goods sold at the time of such determination. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of
future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant negative impact on the value of our inventory and our reported operating results. Additionally, purchasing requirements and alternative usage avenues are
explored within these processes to mitigate inventory exposure. When recorded, our reserves are intended to reduce the carrying value of our inventory to its net realizable value. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Provisions for excess or obsolete inventory are primarily based on our estimates of forecasted net sales and service usage levels. A significant change
in the timing or level of demand for our products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. We record provisions for excess or obsolete inventory as cost of sales.

maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We regularly evaluate the collectability of our trade receivables based on a combination of factors, which may
include dialogue with the customer to determine the cause of non-payment, the use of collection agencies, and/or the use of litigation. In the event it is determined that the customer may not be able to meet its full obligation to us, we record a
specific allowance to reduce the related receivable to the amount that we expect to recover given all information present. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and our assessment
of the customer&#146;s current credit worthiness. We continuously monitor collections from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we
have identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates in the future. If the financial condition of
our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We

Surgical Systems, Inc. during fiscal 2006. Also contributing to the increased reserves, but to a lesser extent, was our increase in sales during fiscal 2006. The increase in reserves in fiscal 2007 was primarily due to our increase in revenues

the purchase method of accounting. Amounts paid for each acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the dates of acquisition. We then allocate the purchase price in excess of net tangible
assets acquired to identifiable intangible assets based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired
and liabilities assumed to goodwill. The valuation of purchased research and development represents the estimated fair value at the dates of acquisition related to in-process projects. Our purchased research and development represents the value of
in-process projects that have not yet reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future uses as of the date of acquisition. We expense the value attributable to these in-process projects at the time of the acquisition. If the projects
are not successful or completed in a timely manner, we may not realize the financial benefits expected for these projects, or for the acquisitions as a whole. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We use the income approach to determine the fair values of our purchased research and development. This approach determines fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to an in-process project over
its useful life and then discounting these after-tax cash flows back to a present value. We base our revenue assumptions on estimates of relevant market sizes, expected market growth rates, expected trends in technology and expected product
introductions by competitors. In arriving at the value of the in-process projects, we consider, among other factors, the in-process projects&#146; stage of completion, the complexity of the work completed as of the acquisition date, the costs
already incurred, the projected costs to complete, the contribution of core technologies and other acquired assets, the expected introduction date and the estimated useful life of the technology. We base the discount rate used to arrive at a present
value as of the date of acquisition on the time value of money and medical technology investment risk factors. For the in-process projects we acquired in connection with our fiscal 2006 acquisitions, we used risk-adjusted discount rates to discount
our projected cash flows, ranging from 14% to 35%. We believe that the estimated purchased research and development amounts so determined represent the fair value at the date of acquisition and do not exceed the amount a third party would pay for
the projects. We did not acquire in-process research and development in connection with the fiscal 2007 acquisition of BioLucent. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have

circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. Conditions that would indicate impairment and trigger a more frequent impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse
change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, we will write-down the carrying value of
the intangible asset to its fair value in the period identified. We generally calculate fair value as the present value of estimated future cash flows to be generated by the asset using a risk-adjusted discount rate. If the estimate of an intangible
asset&#146;s remaining useful life is changed, we will amortize the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. In connection with sale of certain intellectual property, previously acquired
from Fischer to Siemens AG, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.4 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The impairment charge was the result of a higher carrying value of such assets as compared to their fair value. The

Other Intangible Assets</I>. The first step requires a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting units, as defined, to the fair value of these units. We considered a number of factors to determine the fair value of a reporting unit,
including an independent valuation to conduct this test. The valuation is based upon expected future discounted operating cash flows of the reporting unit as well as analysis of recent sales or offerings of similar companies. If the carrying value
of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we will perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of a
reporting unit&#146;s goodwill to its carrying value. Since the adoption of Statement No. 142, we have not performed the second step of the impairment test because the fair value of each reporting unit has exceeded its respective carrying value.
There were no impairment indicators identified during the remainder of fiscal 2007 that required a re-assessment of the annual impairment test. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

Agreement, Cytyc shareholders received an aggregate of approximately 67,300,000 shares of Hologic common stock and approximately $2.1 billion in cash, assuming the conversion of all Cytyc&#146;s outstanding convertible notes. Through October 22,
2007, $176.7 million of the $250.0 million convertible notes had been converted into cash and Hologic&#146;s common stock with $73.3 million remaining. We expect substantially all of the remainder to convert by the end of our first quarter of fiscal
2008. In connection with the Merger, we entered into a credit agreement relating to a senior secured credit facility (Credit Agreement) with Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. and certain other lenders, in which the lenders committed to provide, in
the aggregate, senior secured financing of up to approximately $2.55 billion to pay for the cash portion of the merger consideration, for repayment of existing debt of Cytyc, for expenses relating to the merger and for working capital following the
completion of the merger. As of the closing of the merger we borrowed $2.35 billion under the credit facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The estimated aggregate
purchase price of approximately $6.2 billion includes $2.1 billion in cash, 67,300,000 shares of Hologic common stock at an estimated fair value of $3.7 billion; approximately 8.2 million of fully vested stock options granted to Cytyc employees at
an estimated fair value of approximately $246 million; and approximately $41.7 million of direct acquisition costs. There are no potential contingent consideration payable to the former Cytyc shareholders in connection with this transaction.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our business combination with Cytyc will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. In accordance with SFAS 141, we are
considered to be the acquirer of Cytyc for accounting purposes. This means that the total purchase price will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Cytyc based on our estimate of their fair values as of the date of the
completion of the merger, and any excess of purchase price over those fair values will be recorded as goodwill. Cytyc&#146;s revenues and operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $545.4 million, and $74.5 million,
respectively, and for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were $608.3 million, and $201.7 million, respectively. Cytyc&#146;s results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included charges of approximately $11.6 million related to a
litigation settlement and costs associated with our business combination. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Cytyc&#146;s net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $144.2 million. During this period, changes in
Cytyc&#146;s assets and liabilities, excluding the effects of acquisitions, used $36.6 million of cash, including an increase in accounts receivable of $15.8 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $20.7 million. Our reported financial
condition and results of operations issued for periods ending after completion of the merger will reflect the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed and results of operations after completion of the merger, but
will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Cytyc. Following the completion of the merger, our earnings will also reflect purchase accounting adjustments, such as increased amortization
and other expense for the acquired tangible and intangible assets of Cytyc, as well as the interest on the funds we borrowed to complete the merger. More detailed information concerning our preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in the Cytyc merger, as well as supplemental pro forma information relating to that merger, is set forth in Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

increase in revenues from our mammography/breast care products, led by an increase in the number of Selenia digital mammography systems sold, and to a lesser extent, increased breast biopsy sales from Suros, acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2006. Also contributing to the increase was an increase in our other product sales, primarily attributable to the inclusion for the full year of sales from AEG, acquired during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and an increase in sales of mini C-arm
systems. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in osteoporosis assessment sales in fiscal 2007. </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">Mammography/Breast Care product sales increased 74% in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 primarily due
to a $178.0 million increase in digital mammography system sales, an increase of $50.1 million in breast biopsy device sales from Suros and a $8.4 million increase in CAD product sales from R2. Suros and R2 are entities we acquired in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2006. Prior to our acquisition of R2 we had sold CAD products together with our digital mammography systems, primarily from R2 as a distributor. The increase in CAD product sales represents the additional CAD sales made without our
digital mammography systems. These increases were partially offset by an $8.6 million decrease in MultiCare stereotactic table sales and an $8.3 million decrease in analog mammography systems sales. The increase in our digital mammography product
sales was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of Selenia systems and related components sold, primarily in the United States. In fiscal 2007, we sold 1,189 digital mammography systems compared to 555 systems in fiscal 2006. This
revenue was partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices primarily attributable to increased competition, higher dealer sales, changes in product configuration and increased multi-system sales. We attribute the increase in digital
mammography system sales primarily to the growing acceptance of our Selenia mammography system and of digital mammography in general. The decrease in MultiCare stereotactic tables was primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of systems
sold worldwide in the current fiscal year compared to fiscal 2006 due in part to higher demand in 2006 related to increased sales activity following our acquisition of Fischer&#146;s mammography intellectual property in September 2005 and, to a
lesser extent, a decrease in average selling prices primarily in the United States. The decrease in sales of our analog mammography systems was primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of systems sold worldwide and, to a lesser extent, a
decrease in average selling prices. We believe that this decrease in analog system sales was primarily due to the shift in product sales to digital systems. We expect sales for analog systems to continue to decrease in fiscal 2008. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Osteoporosis assessment product sales decreased 25% in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a $13.9 million decrease
in product sales in the United States primarily due to a decrease in the number of bone densitometry systems sold and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the average selling prices. We believe this decrease in our domestic unit sales reflect a
decline in market conditions due to a reduction in reimbursement for osteoporosis assessment exams. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Other product sales increased 105% in
fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily due to the addition of $29.6 million of sales from AEG, acquired during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, and an $8.7 million increase in our mini C-arm system sales. The increase in
mini C-arm revenue is primarily the result of an increase in the number of systems sold in the United States and Europe. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In fiscal 2007,
approximately 75% of product sales were generated in the United States, 15% in Europe, 5% in Asia, and 5% in other international markets. In fiscal 2006, approximately 72% of product sales were generated in the United States, 17% in Europe, 7% in
Asia, and 4% in other international markets. We believe the higher growth in sales dollars to the United States market is primarily due to an increase in demand for our Selenia digital mammography system as adoption of digital mammography is
occurring at an increased rate in the United States as compared to international markets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Service and Other Revenue.

primarily due to the increased product sales discussed above. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cost of product sales decreased as a percentage of product sales to 42% in
fiscal 2007 from 48% in fiscal 2006. These costs decreased as a percentage of product sales primarily due to increased revenues and improved profitability associated with the shift in mammography product sales to Selenia and, to a lesser extent, the
lower cost of CAD as a result of our acquisition of R2. The Selenia systems have significantly higher selling prices, more than offsetting the higher costs of the product, when compared to analog mammography. In addition, fiscal 2007 includes
results of the recently acquired R2 and Suros product lines for the entire year which have lower costs as a percentage of sales. Our higher Selenia sales resulted in an improved absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. These improvements were
partially offset by fewer bone densitometry systems sold, primarily in the United States, which negatively impacted the absorption of fixed overhead and a reduction in the average selling prices for these systems. Fiscal 2006 includes $4.1 million
of additional costs related to the sales of acquired AEG, R2 and Suros inventory that was written up to fair value for purchase accounting purposes as of the date of each acquisition. </FONT></P> <P

revolving line of credit entered into on July&nbsp;24, 2006 (and amended on September&nbsp;25, 2006) of $1.5 million as well as interest costs on notes payable assumed with the acquisition of AEG in the amount of $963,000. These expenses were
partially offset by other income of $857,000. The most significant item of other income related to the increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance contracts related to our SERP. In fiscal 2006, these expenses were primarily comprised of
the interest costs and fees on our unsecured revolving line of credit of $738,000 as well as interest costs related to AEG&#146;s notes payable of $309,000. To the extent that foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate in the future, we may be

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We account for income taxes under SFAS No.&nbsp;109. This statement requires that we recognize a current
tax liability or asset for current taxes payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or asset for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences and carry forwards to the extent they are realizable. Our effective tax rate for
fiscal 2007 was 36.3% of pre-tax earnings. This represented our normalized rate of approximately 37% reduced by certain tax credits. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2006 was 48.5% of pre-tax earnings. This represents our normalized rate of
approximately 38% increased for the in-process research and development charges recorded during the year which are not deductible for tax purposes. We anticipate an effective tax rate of 36% of pre-tax earnings in fiscal 2008. </FONT></P> <P

2006, we combined our previously reported mammography and digital detector operating segments, to better reflect how we view our operations and manage our business. In prior years, we offered DirectRay digital detectors in Hologic designed,
manufactured, installed and serviced general radiography systems and also sold panels to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), to incorporate into their own equipment. In fiscal 2006 we moved away from selling systems and panels for general
radiography use and began to shift resources to our core women&#146;s health products mammography systems. In January 2006 we ceased sales of digital systems for general radiography, and on October&nbsp;1, 2006 we ceased manufacture of general
radiography panels. As a result the primary function of the digital detector business is to support our mammography product line. We now report our business as three segments: mammography/ breast care, osteoporosis assessment and other. The
operating results of our fiscal 2006 acquisition of the AEG photoconductor business is included in our other business segment. The operating results of our fiscal 2006 acquisitions of R2 and Suros and our fiscal 2007 acquisition of BioLucent are
included in mammography/breast care. Prior periods have been restated to conform to this presentation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The accounting policies of the
segments are the same as those described in the footnotes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We measure segment performance based on total revenues and operating income or loss. Revenues from product sales of each of these
segments are described in further detail above. The discussion that follows is a summary analysis of total revenues and the primary changes in operating income or loss by segment. </FONT></P> <P

million increase in product sales and an increase of $35.1 million in service and other revenues primarily related to the increased number of systems in our installed base. Operating income for this business segment increased primarily due to the
increased revenues. Our gross margin in this business segment increased to 50% in fiscal 2007 as compared to 44% in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2007 our gross margins improved from the increase in product revenues of our more profitable Selenia systems
versus our analog mammography systems as well as a full year of higher margin product sales from the recently acquired businesses of R2 and Suros. In addition, higher total revenues including higher Selenia sales have allowed for the greater
absorption of manufacturing costs. This improvement in the gross margin was offset in part by an increase in service related costs due to an increase in the number of our service personnel and an increase in warranty costs in the current fiscal
year. Operating expenses for this business segment increased 47% in fiscal 2007 primarily due to increased operating expenses in </FONT>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Osteoporosis assessment revenues decreased in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 primarily due to
the $14.8&nbsp;million decrease in product sales discussed above and an $800,000 decrease in service revenues. The decrease in service revenues was primarily due to a decrease in training revenues. Operating income for osteoporosis assessment
decreased primarily from the decrease in product sales partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses. Our gross margin in this business segment was 40% in fiscal 2007 compared to 43% in fiscal 2006. The decrease in osteoporosis assessment
gross margin reflects the decrease in product sales and the lower average selling prices. Operating income partially benefited from lower overhead allocations as there were higher allocations of overhead in the current year to the mammography/breast
care business segment reflecting the recent acquisitions and higher growth of that segment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Other. </I></FONT></P> <P

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Revenues for this business segment, which includes the AEG photoconductor business, mini C-arm
business, domestic distribution of a third party extremity MRI systems, the digital radiography business and the conventional general radiography service business, increased primarily due to the incremental revenues of $29.6 million as a result of
the AEG acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 discussed above. Also contributing to the increase was an increase in mini C-arm sales of $8.7 million. The increase in operating income was due primarily to the operating income from AEG and,
to a lesser extent, from the mini C-arm business partially offset by a $2.0 million extremity MRI inventory write-down and insufficient revenue volume for the third party extremity MRI systems to cover the fixed costs, primarily headcount related,
to support the distribution of these systems. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In fiscal 2006 our product sales increased 69% compared to fiscal 2005 primarily due to an
increase in revenues from our mammography/breast care products. Also contributing to the increase was an increase in our other product sales, primarily attributable to $18.6 million of sales from AEG, acquired during the third quarter of fiscal 2006
and the initial sales of a new line of third party extremity MRI systems of $4.8 million. Osteoporosis sales also increased, to a lesser extent, in fiscal 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Mammography/Breast Care product sales increased 84% in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005 primarily due to a $106.9 million increase in digital mammography system sales, a $19.5 million increase in Multicare
stereotactic table sales and $12.1 million of product sales from R2 and Suros, entities acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. These increases were partially offset by a $4.8 million decrease in analog mammography systems sales. The increase
in our digital mammography product sales was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of Selenia systems sold worldwide. In fiscal 2006, we sold 555 digital mammography systems compared to 239 systems in fiscal 2005. We attribute the
increase in digital mammography system sales primarily to the growing acceptance of our Selenia mammography system and of digital mammography in general. The increase in Multicare stereotactic tables was primarily attributable to an increase in the
number of systems sold worldwide in the current fiscal year compared to fiscal 2005. We attribute this increase at least in part, to our acquisition of the Mammotest intellectual property from Fischer. The decrease in sales of our analog mammography
systems was primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of systems sold both domestically and in Europe, partially offset by an increase in units sold in other international markets combined with a decrease in average selling price in all
markets. We believe that this decrease in analog system sales was primarily due to the shift in product sales to digital systems. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Osteoporosis assessment product sales increased 6% in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of systems sold in the United States and an increase in the number of our lower-priced
Explorer bone densitometry systems sold internationally, that was offset in part by a slight decrease in the average selling prices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Other
product sales increased 163% in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. This increase was primarily due to the addition of $18.6 million of sales from AEG, acquired during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, $4.8 million of sales from a new line of third
party extremity MRI systems and, to a lesser extent, a $731,000 increase in our mini C-arm system sales. Partially offsetting these increases was a $2.0 million decrease in our sales of general radiography systems resulting from our phase out of
that business. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In fiscal 2006, approximately 72% of product sales were generated in the United States, 17% in Europe, 7% in Asia, and 4%
in other international markets. In fiscal 2005, approximately 67% of product sales were generated in the United States, 19% in Europe, 10% in Asia, and 4% in other international markets. We believe the shift in sales dollars to the United States
market is primarily due to an increase in demand for our Selenia digital mammography system as digital mammography is becoming more widely accepted in the United States. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;

and training revenues in our mammography/ breast care segment and, to a lesser extent, in our osteoporosis assessment and other segments. We believe that these increases reflect the continued growth in our installed base of products. </FONT></P> <P

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cost of product sales decreased as a percentage of product sales to 48% in fiscal 2006 from 51% in
fiscal 2005. These costs decreased as a percentage of product sales primarily due to increased revenues and improved profitability associated with the shift in mammography product sales to Selenia, our full field digital mammography systems. The
Selenia systems have significantly higher selling prices, more than offsetting the higher costs of the product, when compared to analog mammography. In addition, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 includes the addition of the recently acquired R2 and
Suros product lines which have lower costs as a percentage of sales. Our higher Selenia sales combined with the increase in revenues for the Multicare stereotactic tables also resulted in an improved absorption of fixed manufacturing costs.
Offsetting these improvements was an increase in costs as a percentage of sales in our other segment due to the combination of AEG photoconductor sales, which earn a substantially lower margin as compared to our core product lines, and higher costs
associated with the new mini C-arm Insight product. The decreases noted above were offset by $4.1 million of additional costs related to the sales of acquired AEG, R2 and Suros inventory that was written up to fair value for purchase accounting
purposes as of the date of acquisition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Cost of Product Sales&#151;Amortization of intangible assets. </I></B></FONT></P> <P

To the extent that foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate in the future, we may be exposed to continued financial risk. Although we have established a borrowing line of credit denominated in the foreign currency, the euro, in which our
subsidiaries currently conduct business to minimize this risk, we cannot assure that we will be successful or can fully hedge our outstanding exposure. In connection with our recent acquisitions we assumed approximately $10.7 million of debt as a

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We had previously recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that was more likely than not to be realized. In fiscal
2005, we considered our recent operating results, future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. As a result, we determined that we were able to realize a portion of
our deferred tax assets in excess of the net recorded amount, and therefore, an adjustment of $6.2 million was made to reduce the valuation allowance. The benefit of the release in valuation allowance was realized through reductions to tax expense
and increases to additional paid in capital. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2005 we received notification that the Joint Committee on Taxation had no exceptions with the Internal Revenue Service&#146;s conclusions on several tax returns
under examination. Therefore, we released $750,000 of tax reserves related to these returns further reducing our provision for income taxes in fiscal 2005. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

increase in revenues for Multicare stereotactic tables allowed for the greater absorption of manufacturing costs. This improvement in the gross margin was offset in part by an increase in service related costs related to an increase in the number of
our service personnel in the current fiscal year. Operating expenses for this business segment increased 98% in fiscal 2006 primarily due to increased selling expenses which is primarily due to the higher revenues an increase in research and

of October 22, 2007, Cytyc Notes in the approximate principal face amount of $73,300,000 were outstanding. Interest on the Cytyc Notes is payable semi-annually and the Cytyc Notes were previously convertible into shares of Cytyc common stock. At the

Cytyc Notes and the Indenture, and as a result of the Merger, the Cytyc Notes ceased to be convertible into shares of Cytyc common stock but rather became convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock which a holder of shares of Cytyc
common stock would have been entitled to receive upon the Merger had the Cytyc Notes been converted into shares of our common stock immediately prior to the Merger, such that each $1,000 principal face amount of Cytyc Notes may be converted at any

such Cytyc Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon. Our obligations under the Cytyc Notes and the Indenture may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default including, without limitation, payment defaults, uncured

degree of uncertainty. FIN 48 utilizes a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained
upon examination. Measurement (step two) is only addressed if step one has been satisfied (i.e., the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained). Under step two, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a

the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, FIN 48 will require expanded disclosure
requirements, which include a tabular rollforward of the beginning and ending aggregate unrecognized tax benefits as well as specific detail related to tax uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit will
significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. These disclosures are required at each annual reporting period unless a significant change occurs in an interim period. </FONT></P> <P

the current year financial statements. SAB 108 does not change the SEC staff&#146;s previous positions in SAB 99, <I>Materiality</I>, regarding qualitative considerations in assessing the materiality of misstatements. SAB 108 acknowledges the
existing diversity in practice in this area and discusses techniques commonly used to accumulate and quantify misstatements. The &#147;rollover&#148; method used by some companies and auditors quantifies a misstatement based on the effects of
correcting the misstatement existing in the current period income statement. The &#147;iron curtain&#148; method quantifies a misstatement based on the effects of correcting the misstatement in the balance sheet at the end of the current period,
regardless of the misstatement&#146;s period of origin. The SEC staff does not believe exclusive reliance on one method biased toward either the income statement of the balance sheet is appropriate. The staff believes that registrants and auditors
must quantify the effects on the current year financial statements of correcting all misstatements, including both carryover and reversing effects of uncorrected prior year misstatements. After considering all relevant quantitative and qualitative
factors, if either approach results in a misstatement that is material, a registrant&#146;s financial statements must be adjusted. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November&nbsp;15, 2006, which is our year ending September&nbsp;29,

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition for multiple-element
arrangements, accounts receivable reserves, inventory and related reserves, valuations and purchase price allocations related to business combinations, expected future cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated
fair values of long-lived assets used to record impairment charges related to intangible assets and goodwill, amortization periods, accrued expenses, restructuring and other related charges, stock-based compensation, pension liabilities, contingent
liabilities, and recoverability of the Company&#146;s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although the Company
regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other
assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from management&#146;s estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies of similar size in its industry, including, early stage of development of

instruments. The Company transacts derivative financial instrument contracts with major financial institutions and monitors outstanding positions to limit its credit exposure. The Company&#146;s customers are principally located in the United
States, Europe and Asia. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Although, the Company is directly affected by the overall financial condition of the
healthcare industry, management does not believe significant credit risk exists as of September&nbsp;29, 2007. The Company generally has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers or groups of customers in
the x-ray and medical device industry. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on accounts past due according to contractual terms and historical collection experience. Actual losses when incurred are charged to the allowance.
The Company&#146;s losses related to collection of trade receivables have consistently been within management&#146;s expectations. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses, which the Company
reevaluates on a monthly basis based on specific review of receivable agings and the period that any receivables are beyond the standard payment terms, is believed by management to be probable in the Company&#146;s accounts receivable. </FONT></P>

financial instrument contracts, line of credit, and notes payable. The carrying amounts of the Company&#146;s cash equivalents and accounts receivable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company&#146;s $150
million line of credit with Bank of America had a variable interest rate and, therefore, fluctuated based on market conditions, however no amounts were outstanding as of September 29, 2007. The Company&#146;s AEG subsidiary also has several notes
payable outstanding. These notes payable are denominated in either the Euro or US dollar and have variable rates of interest. As of September&nbsp;29, 2007 the outstanding notes payable approximates the carrying amount based on comparable market

research and development represents the estimated fair value at the dates of acquisition related to in-process projects. The Company&#146;s purchased research and development represents the value of in-process projects that have not yet reached
technological feasibility and have no alternative future uses as of the date of acquisition. The Company expenses the value attributable to these in-process projects at the time of the acquisition. If the projects are not successful or completed in

Company uses the income approach to determine the fair values of its purchased research and development. This approach determines fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to an in-process project over its useful life and then
discounting these after-tax cash flows back to a present value. The Company bases its revenue assumptions on estimates of relevant market sizes, expected market growth rates, expected trends in technology and expected product introductions by
competitors. In arriving at the value of the in-process projects, the Company considers, among other factors, the in-process projects&#146; stage of completion, the complexity of the work completed as of the acquisition date, the costs already
incurred, the projected costs to complete, the contribution of core technologies and other acquired assets, the expected introduction date and the estimated useful life of the technology. The Company bases the discount rate used to arrive at a
present value as of the date of acquisition on the time value of money and medical technology investment risk factors. For the in-process projects the Company acquired in connection with its 2006 acquisitions, it used risk-adjusted discount rates
ranging from 14&nbsp;% to 35% to discount its projected cash flows. The Company did not acquire any such projects during fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2005. The Company believes that the estimated purchased research and development amounts so determined
represent the fair value at the date of acquisition and do not exceed the amount a third party would pay for the projects. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company
also used the income approach, as described above, to determine the estimated fair value of certain other identifiable intangibles assets including developed technology, customer relationships and tradenames. Developed technology represents patented
and unpatented technology and know-how. Customer relationships represent established relationships with customers, which provides a ready channel for the sale of additional products and services. Tradenames represent acquired product names that the

in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company records intangible assets at historical cost. The Company amortizes its intangible assets that have finite lives using either the straight-line method or based on
estimated future cash flows to approximate the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset will be utilized. Amortization is recorded over the estimated useful lives ranging from 4 to 20 years. The Company reviews intangible assets subject to
amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. Conditions that would indicate impairment and trigger a more
frequent impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If the carrying value of an
asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company will write-down the carrying value of the intangible asset to its fair value in the period identified. The Company generally calculates fair value as the present value of estimated future cash
flows to be generated by the asset using a risk-adjusted discount rate. If the estimate of an intangible asset&#146;s remaining useful life is changed, the Company will amortize </FONT>

property, previously acquired from Fischer to Siemens AG in July 2006, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1,400 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The impairment charge was the result of a higher carrying value of
such assets as compared to their fair value. The charge is a component of the net gain on sale of intellectual property in the accompanying consolidated statement of income and is classified as part of the mammography segment. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Consistent with prior years, the Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. In performing the
test, the Company utilizes the two-step approach prescribed under FASB Statement No. 142, <I>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</I>. The first step requires a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting units, as defined, to the fair value
of these units. The Company considered a number of factors to determine the fair value of a reporting unit, including an independent valuation to conduct this test. The valuation is based upon expected future discounted operating cash flows of the
reporting unit as well as analysis of recent sales or offerings of similar companies. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of
impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of a reporting unit&#146;s goodwill to its carrying value. The Company did not perform the second step of the impairment test as part of its
fiscal 2007 review because the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying value. There were no impairment indicators identified during the remainder of fiscal 2007 that required a re-assessment of the annual impairment test.

income in the Company&#146;s consolidated statements of income. The annual impairment testing process is subjective and requires judgment at many points throughout the analysis. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future,
the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets not previously recorded. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A rollforward of goodwill from

carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During this review, the Company re-evaluates the significant assumptions used in determining the original cost and estimated lives of long-lived assets. Although the assumptions may vary from asset
to asset, they generally include operating results, changes in the use of the asset, cash flows and other indicators of value. Management then determines whether the remaining useful life continues to be appropriate or whether there has been an
impairment of long-lived assets based primarily upon whether expected future undiscounted cash flows are sufficient to support the assets&#146; recovery. If impairment exists, the Company would adjust the carrying value of the asset to fair value,
generally determined by a discounted cash flow analysis. To date, the Company has not identified any impairments requiring adjustment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

September&nbsp;25, 2006 (see Note 5) were approximately $719 and $900 as of September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The Company is amortizing these amounts to interest expense over a five-year period, which approximates the level

have the ability to exercise significant influence over these companies. The Company regularly evaluates the carrying value of its investments. When the carrying value of an investment exceeds the fair value and the decline in the fair value is
deemed to be other-than-temporary, the Company writes down the value of the investment to its fair value. During 2007, 2006 and 2005, none of the investments held were deemed to be in a other-than-temporary loss. The carrying value of these

product has value to its customers on a stand-alone basis and the Company has objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of such services and undelivered products. Accordingly, service revenue representing the fair value of services not yet
performed at the time of product shipment is deferred and recognized as such services are performed. The fair value of the undelivered products is also deferred at the time of product shipment and recognized when these products are delivered. The

2006, the Financial Account Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, <I>Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes</I>, which applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to SFAS No.&nbsp;109 (SFAS 109),
<I>Accounting for Income Taxes. </I>This includes tax positions considered to be &#147;routine&#148; as well as those with a high degree of uncertainty. FIN 48 utilizes a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs
when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) is only addressed if step one has been satisfied (i.e., the position is
more-likely-than-not to be sustained). Under step two, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48&#146;s use
of the term &#147;more-likely-than-not&#148; in steps one and two is consistent with how that term is used in SFAS 109 (i.e., a likelihood of occurrence greater than 50 percent). </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first subsequent interim period they meet the more-likely-than-not
standard, or are resolved through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statue of limitations. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines
that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. FIN 48 specifically prohibits the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, FIN 48 will require expanded disclosure requirements, which include a tabular rollforward of the beginning and ending aggregate unrecognized
tax benefits as well as specific detail related to tax uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. These disclosures are required at each
annual reporting period unless a significant change occurs in an interim period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On September 13, 2006, the SEC staff published SAB No. 108 (SAB 108), <I>Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements</I>. SAB 108 addresses
quantifying the financial statement effects of misstatements, specifically, how the effects of prior year uncorrected errors must be considered in quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. SAB 108 does not change the SEC
staff&#146;s previous positions in SAB 99, <I>Materiality</I>, regarding qualitative considerations in assessing the materiality of misstatements. SAB 108 acknowledges the existing diversity in practice in this area and discusses techniques commonly
used to accumulate and quantify misstatements. The &#147;rollover&#148; method used by some companies and auditors quantifies a misstatement based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the current period income statement. The
&#147;iron curtain&#148; method quantifies a misstatement based on the effects of correcting the misstatement in the balance sheet at the end of the current period, regardless of the misstatement&#146;s period of origin. The SEC staff does not
believe exclusive reliance on one method biased toward either the income statement or the balance sheet is appropriate. The staff believes that registrants and auditors must quantify the effects on the current year financial statements of correcting
all misstatements, including both carryover and reversing effects of uncorrected prior year misstatements. After considering all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors, if either approach results in a misstatement that is material, a
registrant&#146;s financial statements must be adjusted. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, which is the Company&#146;s year ending September 29, 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the

Fair Value Measurements,</I> SFAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also responds to investors&#146; requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets

not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted.

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has considered the provision of EITF Issue No.&nbsp;95-8, <I>Accounting for Contingent Consideration</I> <I>Paid to the Shareholders of and
Acquired Enterprise in a Purchase Business Combination</I>, and concluded that this contingent consideration represents additional purchase price. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 the Company paid approximately $19,000 to former Suros
shareholders for the first annual earn-out period resulting in an increase to goodwill for the same amount. Goodwill will be increased by the amount of the additional consideration, if any, when it becomes due and payable for the second annual
earn-out. In addition to the earn-out discussed above, the Company increased goodwill related to the Suros acquisition in the amount of $210 during the year ended September 29, 2007. The increase was primarily related to recording a liability of
approximately $550 in accordance with EITF 95-3 related to the termination of certain employees who have ceased all services for the Company. Approximately $400 of this liability was paid during the year ended September 29, 2007 and the balance is
expected to be paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008. This increase was partially offset by a decrease to goodwill as a result of a change in the valuation of certain assets and liabilities acquired based on information received
during the year ended September 29, 2007. There have been no other material changes to purchase price allocations as disclosed in the Company&#146;s Form 10-K for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2006. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As part of the purchase price allocation, all intangible assets that were a part of the acquisition were identified and valued. It was determined that
only customer relationship, trade name, developed technology and know how and in-process research and development had separately identifiable values. Customer relationship represents Suros large installed base that are expected to purchase
disposable products on a regular basis. Trade name represent the Suros product names that the Company intends to continue to use. Developed technology and know how represents currently marketable purchased products that the Company continues to
resell as well as utilize to enhance and incorporate into the Company&#146;s existing products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The estimated $4,900 of purchase price
allocated to in-process research and development projects primarily related to Suros&#146; disposable products. The projects were at various stages of completion and include next generation handpiece and site marker technologies. The Company has
continued to work on these projects and expects they will be completed during fiscal 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The deferred income tax liability relates to
the tax effect of acquired identifiable intangible assets, and fair value adjustments to acquired inventory as such amounts are not deductible for tax purposes, partially offset by acquired net operating loss carry forwards that the Company believes
are realizable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For all of the acquisitions discussed above, goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net
identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company determined that the acquisition of each AEG, BioLucent, R2 and Suros resulted in the recognition of goodwill primarily because of synergies unique to the Company and the strength of
its acquired workforce. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Supplemental Unaudited Pro-forma Information </I></B></FONT></P> <P

September&nbsp;29, 2005, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and Fischer Imaging Corporation (Fischer), dated June&nbsp;22, 2005, the Company acquired the intellectual property and customer lists relating to Fischer&#146;s

technology assets and customer lists had separately identifiable values. As a result of this identification and valuation process, the Company allocated approximately $4,200 of the purchase price to in-process research and development projects
related to Fischer&#146;s digital mammography product. This allocation represented the estimated fair value assuming these projects were completed based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete research and development projects. At the
date of acquisition, the development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility, and the research and development in progress had no alternative future use. The Company does not intend to complete these projects. Accordingly,
these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the Company allocated approximately $23,200 and $5,600 to developed

related to the Fischer digital mammography and breast biopsy systems. Developed technology and know how is expected to be amortized over a period of 12.5 years. Customer lists represent established relationships with customers, which provides a

carried forward for 16 and 15 years, respectively. Under SFAS No.&nbsp;109, the Company can only recognize a deferred tax asset for future benefit of its tax loss carryforward to the extent that it is &#147;more likely than not&#148; that these
assets will be realized. The Company has a valuation allowance against a portion of its remaining potential deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance primarily relates to federal and state operating net losses from the Suros and R2 acquisitions,
for which realization is uncertain. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In determining the realizability of these assets, the Company considers numerous factors, including
historical profitability, estimated future taxable income and the industry in which it operates. In fiscal 2007 the Company released valuation allowance on net operating losses generated by excess stock deductions. The approximate $710 of tax
benefit associated with these net operating losses was recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital. Additionally, the Company recorded a decrease of approximately $280 to its valuation allowance against certain federal and state net
operating losses acquired in the Suros and R2 acquisitions with a corresponding reduction to goodwill. The remaining change in valuation allowance is attributable to the decrease in valuation allowance recognized on certain state tax assets
generated through 2007. The Company believes it is more likely than not that these state tax assets will be realized. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to the
$710 discussed above, the Company also recorded a $21,216 increase to additional paid in capital related to the excess tax benefit of stock options exercised in the current year. The total increase to additional paid in capital, recorded in 2007,
related to the excess tax benefit of stock options was $21,926. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

expired on December&nbsp;31, 2002. In addition to certain other modifications, the 2002 Rights Plan uses preferred stock purchase rights rather than common stock purchase rights. To affect the 2002 Rights Plan, the Board of Directors declared a
dividend distribution of one right for each share of the Company&#146;s common stock outstanding as of the close of business on December&nbsp;31, 2002. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase one-half of one one-thousandth of a share
of the Company&#146;s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (after taking into account the two-for-one stock split effected on November&nbsp;30, 2005) at a purchase price of $30.00. The rights will be exercisable if a person or group
acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company&#146;s common stock or announces a tender or exchange offer for 15% or more of the Company&#146;s common stock. At such time, each holder of a right (other than the 15% holder) will
thereafter have a right to purchase, upon payment of the purchase price of the right, that number of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock, which have a market value of twice the purchase price of the right. The 2002 Rights Plan is designed to
deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics and to ensure that all of the Company&#146;s shareholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of an unsolicited attempt to acquire the Company. On May 20, 2007, in connection with signing the
merger agreement for the business combination with Cytyc, the Company amended the 2002 Rights Plan to render it inapplicable to the merger agreement, the Cytyc merger and the issuance of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock to the Cytyc
stockholders in connection with the merger. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

the officer with the funds necessary to pay the quarterly installments due under the loan discussed above. Under the special bonus program, for so long as the officer remained an officer of the Company and there are amounts remaining to be repaid

such that the net-after-tax special quarterly bonus received by the officer equaled the principal and interest then due under the loan. During the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 the Company recognized $75 in bonus expense in connection with this

retention and severance agreement, these executives were awarded 54 restricted stock units with an aggregate value of $2,500. These restricted stock units cliff vest on the Retention Date. These shares are excluded from the computation of basic
earnings per share until the shares vest because the employee is not entitled to the reward of stock ownership. The Company is recording the $2,500 of stock based compensation, over the vesting period of the restricted stock. As a result, the
Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $937 and $391 during the years ended September&nbsp;29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The retention and severance agreements also provide these executives with certain cash payment

Company was served with a Complaint filed on November&nbsp;12, 2004 by Oleg Sokolov with the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut alleging that the Company&#146;s HTC grid infringes U.S. Patent Number 5,970,118. The plaintiff
is seeking to preliminarily and permanently enjoin the Company from infringing the patent, as well as damages resulting from the alleged infringement, treble damages and reasonable attorney fees, and such other and further relief as may be
available. On April&nbsp;25, 2005, the Company filed an Answer and Counterclaims in response to the Complaint in which the Company denied the plaintiff&#146;s allegations and, among other things, sought declaratory relief with respect to the patent
claims and damages, as well as other relief. On March&nbsp;2, 2007 the Court granted summary judgment in the Company&#146;s favor, holding that the patent-in-suit is invalid, and dismissed Oleg Sokolov&#146;s complaint, thus leaving in the case only
the Company&#146;s counterclaims against Oleg Sokolov. In a related matter, the United States Patent and Trademark Office decided in December 2005 to re-examine the validity of Sokolov&#146;s patent, and this case has been stayed pending completion
of this process. The Company does not believe that the Company infringes any valid or enforceable patents of the plaintiff. However, while the Company intends to vigorously defend its interests, ongoing litigation can be costly and time consuming,
and the Company cannot guarantee that the Company will prevail. On October&nbsp;28, 1998, the plaintiff had previously sued Lorad, asserting, among other things, that Lorad had misappropriated the plaintiff&#146;s trade secrets relating to the HTC
Grid.&nbsp;This previous case was dismissed on August&nbsp;28, 2000. The dismissal was affirmed by the Appellate Court of the State of Connecticut, and the United States Supreme Court refused to grant Certiorari. Following the dismissal, Sokolov
threatened to file further claims related to the matter, and as a result, the Company entered into mediation and reached a tentative oral settlement which is expected to be finalized by a written release and settlement agreement. There are, however,
no assurances that a settlement will be reached. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

that certain of the ATEC biopsy systems manufactured and sold by Suros infringe four Ethicon patents. The complaint seeks to enjoin the Company and Suros from infringing the patents as well as the recovery of damages and costs resulting from the
alleged infringement. Given the early stage of the litigation, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate outcome of this case, as such no amounts have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On October 22, 2007 the company completed the merger with Cytyc Corporation (Cytyc) pursuant to Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger
Agreement) entered into on May 20, 2007. Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, Cytyc became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and each share of common stock of Cytyc, issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the closing was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i)&nbsp;0.52 shares of common stock of the Company and (ii) $16.50 in cash. As of September 29, 2007, the Company capitalized a total of $6,393 of
direct acquisitions costs, which are included in other long term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. In accordance with SFAS 141, <I>Business Combinations, </I>and based on the terms of the merger, the Company is the accounting
acquirer. This conclusion was based on the facts that Hologic board members and senior management will control and represent a majority of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, as well as the terms of the exchange,
pursuant to which the Cytyc stockholders received a premium over the fair market value ot their shares on such date and cash of $16.50 per share (or approximately 35% of the merger consideration). There were no preexisting relationships between the
two companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cytyc, headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts, is a diversified diagnostic and medical device company that designs,

menstrual bleeding and radiation treatment of early-stage breast cancer. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the Merger Agreement, Cytyc shareholders received an
aggregate of approximately 67,302 shares of Hologic common stock and approximately $2,135,600 in cash, assuming the conversion of Cytyc&#146;s outstanding convertible notes. In connection with the close of the merger, the Company entered into a
credit agreement relating to a senior secured credit facility (Credit Agreement) with Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. and certain other lenders, in which the lenders committed to provide, in the aggregate, senior secured financing of up to
approximately $2,550,000 to pay for the cash portion of the merger consideration, for repayment of existing debt of Cytyc, for expenses relating to the merger and for working capital following the completion of the merger. As of the closing of the
merger the Company borrowed $2,350,000 under the credit facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The estimated aggregate purchase price of approximately $6,166,100

$246,000; and approximately $41,700 of direct acquisition costs. There are no potential contingent consideration arrangements payable to the former Cytyc shareholders in connection with this transaction. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has measured the fair value of the 67,302 shares of the Company common stock issued as consideration in connection with the merger under EITF
Issue No.&nbsp;99-12, <I>Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination. </I>The Company determined the measurement date to be May&nbsp;20, 2007, the date the transaction
was announced, as the number of shares to be issued according the exchange ratio was fixed without subsequent revision. The Company valued the securities based on the average market price a few days before and after the measurement date. The
weighted average stock price was determined to be approximately $55.61. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

with respect to the technologies embedded in its currently marketed products. In determining the allocation of the purchase price to existing technology, consideration was only given to patent and patent applications that relate to products that
have been approved by the FDA. Cytyc&#146;s customer relationship assets relate to relationships that Cytyc&#146;s sales force has developed with OB/GYNS, breast surgeons, clinical laboratories and other physicians. The trade names relate to both
the Cytyc name as well as key product names. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company used the income approach to value the existing technology and marketing based
intangibles. This approach calculates fair value by discounting the after-tax cash flows back to a present value. The baseline data for this analysis was the cash flow estimates used to price the transaction. Cash flows were forecasted for each
intangible asset, then discounted based on an appropriate discount rate. The discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as Cytyc&#146;s weighted average cost of capital
based on the capital asset pricing model. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In estimating the useful life of the acquired assets, the Company considered paragraph 11 of
SFAS No.&nbsp;142, <I>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,</I> which lists the pertinent factors to be considered when estimating the useful life of an intangible asset. These factors included a review of the expected use by the combined company of
the assets acquired, the expected useful life of another asset (or group of assets) related to the acquired assets, legal, regulatory or other contractual provisions that may limit the useful life of an acquired asset or may enable the extension of
the useful life of an acquired asset without substantial cost, the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors, and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.
The Company expects to amortize these intangible assets over their estimated useful lives using a method that is based on estimated future cash flows as the Company believes this will approximate the pattern in which the economic benefits of the
assets will be utilized. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Acquired In-Process Research and Development </I></FONT></P> <P

feasibility and have no alternative future uses as of the date of the acquisition. The primary basis for determining the technological feasibility of these projects is obtaining regulatory approval to market the underlying products. The fair value

determined by estimating the costs to develop the acquired technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the projects, and discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The revenue projections
used to value the acquired in-process research and development was based on estimates of relevant market sizes and growth factors, expected trends in technology, and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions by us and our

implanatable polymer matrix and a radio frequency controller. The procedure can be performed in a hospital or physician&#146;s office, and generally takes twelve minutes, with a thirty to forty minute recovery time. The estimated remaining costs to

of the products classified as in-process research and development, nor has Cytyc received any foreign approvals or clearances for any of these products. All products classified as in-process research and development require various levels of
in-house and external testing, clinical trials and approvals from the FDA before these future products can be marketed. The estimated cash requirements in the aggregate to complete these remaining products is expected to be approximately $15,800.
