timates have been prepared on the basis of the best available information. &nbsp;Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. &nbsp;The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2009.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">We evaluate subsequent events and the evidence they provide about conditions existing at the date of the balance sheet as well as conditions that arose after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. The effects of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements. Events and conditions arising after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued are evaluated to determine if disclosure is required to keep the financial statements from being misleading. To the extent such events and conditions exist, disclosures are made regarding the nature of events and the estimated financial effects for those events and conditions. For purposes of preparing the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the following notes to these financial statements, we evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">On January 6, 2010, we acquired certain diagnostic businesses of Biotest AG (Biotest) for 45 million Euros (approximately $64.9 million) in cash. &nbsp;The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. &nbsp;The operating results of these businesses have been included in our Clinical Diagnostics segment since the acquisition date. &nbsp;On a preliminary basis, the purchase price allocation reflects $31.2 million of net tangible assets and $21.2 million of intangible assets based upon management&#146;s preliminary estimate of relative fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. &nbsp;Further, goodwill of $12.5 million was preliminarily recorded as the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. &nbsp;The goodwill recorded will not be deductible for tax purposes. &nbsp;The intangible assets were recorded based upon preliminary, incomplete valuation informa
tion and may be adjusted during the quarter ending June 30, 2010. &nbsp;Integrating the acquired portion of Biotest's diagnostic businesses into Bio-Rad's product portfolio is expected to broaden our product offering in the area of immunohematology and provide Bio-Rad access to the U.S. markets with a range of products.</P>

erparties. &nbsp;The resulting gains or losses offset exchange gains or losses on the related receivables and payables, both of which are recorded as Foreign exchange (gains) losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. &nbsp;The cash flows related to these contracts are classified as Cash flows from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. &nbsp;At March 31, 2010, we had contracts maturing in April through June 2010 to sell foreign currency with a notional value of $72.9 million and an unrealized loss of $0.1 million. &nbsp;Contracts to purchase foreign currency had a notional value of $299.5 million with an unrealized loss of $0.2 million.</FONT></P>

<P style="margin:0px; font-family:Times New Roman Bold; font-size:11pt"><B><I>Overview</I></B><FONT style="font-family:Times New Roman">. &nbsp;We are a multinational manufacturer and worldwide distributor of our own life science research and clinical diagnostics products. &nbsp;Our business is organized into two primary segments, Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics, with the mission to provide scientists with specialized tools needed for biological research and clinical diagnostics. &nbsp;We sell more than 8,000 products and services to a diverse client base comprised of scientific research, healthcare, education and government customers worldwide. We manufacture and supply our customers with a range of reagents, apparatus and equipment to separate complex chemical and biological materials and to identify, analyze and purify components. &nbsp;Because our customers require standardization for their experiments and test results, much of our revenues are recurring. &nbsp;Approximately 31% of our year-to-date
 2010 consolidated net sales are from the United States and approximately 69% are from international locations. &nbsp;The international sales are largely denominated in local currencies such as the Euro, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen and British Sterling. &nbsp;As a result, our consolidated net sales expressed in dollars benefit when the U.S. dollar weakens and suffer when the dollar strengthens. &nbsp;When the U.S. dollar strengthens, we benefit from lower cost of sales from our own international manufacturing sites as well as non-U.S. suppliers and from lower international operating expenses.</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">The market for reagents and apparatus remains good while growth rates have slowed due to both public and private grant funding being more measured. &nbsp;The market for large capital equipment has slowed, as many pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers delayed or reduced their capital spending. &nbsp;We are generally less impacted by trends in capital spending as lower priced reagents and apparatus comprise more than 70% of product sales.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">On January 6, 2010, we acquired certain diagnostic businesses of Biotest AG (Biotest). &nbsp;This 45 million Euro acquisition is expected to broaden our product offering in the area of immunohematology and provide access to the U.S. markets.</P>

<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, we have identified accounting for income taxes, valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets, valuation of inventories, warranty reserves, valuation of investments, allowance for doubtful accounts and litigation accruals as the accounting policies and estimates critical to the operations of Bio-Rad.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements. &nbsp;Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009. &nbsp;For a full discussion of these policies, please refer to our Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009.</P>

<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Net sales (sales) in the first quarter of 2010 increased 13.3% to $454.2 million from $400.9 million in the first quarter of 2009, including the Biotest acquisition contributing approximately $12.7 million to the growth in sales. &nbsp;Excluding the impact of foreign currency, first quarter 2010 sales increased by approximately 7.9% compared to the same period in 2009. &nbsp;Currency neutral sales growth, excluding Biotest, was reflected in all regions, but primarily for Asia Pacific, Emerging Markets and North America.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">The Life Science segment sales for the first quarter of 2010 were $151.4 million, an increase of 7.9%, or 3.4% on a currency neutral basis, compared to the same period last year. &nbsp;Product groups showing growth include real-time PCR instruments and reagents, and the ProteOn&#8482; protein interaction analysis system. &nbsp;Currency neutral sales growth in the Life Science segment was primarily in Asia Pacific and North America, while European sales declined.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported sales for the first quarter of 2010 of $299.8 million, an increase of 16.4% compared to the same period last year, with Biotest contributing approximately 4.9% to the sales growth. &nbsp;On a currency neutral basis, sales increased 10.5% including Biotest compared to the first quarter in 2009. &nbsp;Clinical Diagnostics product lines generating growth were clinical systems, immunohematology (excluding Biotest), quality controls products and contract manufacturing. &nbsp;Sales growth excluding Biotest was primarily in Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Consolidated gross margins were 56.6% for the first quarter of 2010 compared to 57.1% for the first quarter of 2009 and 56.0% for the year 2009. &nbsp;Life Science segment gross margins for the first quarter of 2010 improved from the same period last year by approximately 1.6%. &nbsp;The increase was primarily due to improved manufacturing overhead absorption from a reduction in costs and increased production levels. &nbsp;Clinical Diagnostics segment gross margins for the first quarter of 2010 decreased by approximately 1.5% from the same period last year. &nbsp;Included in the first quarter of 2010 was the Biotest acquisition, which had a negative impact on Clinical Diagnostics gross margins due to purchase accounting, and overall generally lower margins than historical segment gross margins due to current lower volumes and a current higher cost structure. &nbsp;Partially offsetting this decrease in gross margins was an increase from the conversion of DiaMed distributo
rs to direct sales and other immunohematology cost reductions.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&amp;A) represented 33.8% of sales for the first quarter of 2010 compared to 35.0% of sales for the first quarter of 2009. &nbsp;Growth in absolute SG&amp;A spending was less than sales growth. &nbsp;Increases were primarily driven by currency translation and the inclusion of Biotest in the current quarter. </P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Research and development expense increased to $40.3 million or 8.9% of sales in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $37.2 million or 9.3% of sales in the first quarter of 2009. &nbsp;Life Science segment research and development expense was relatively flat from the prior year quarter. &nbsp;Life Science segment efforts concentrated on genomics, proteomics and process chromatography applications. &nbsp;Clinical Diagnostics segment research and development expense increased from the prior year period. &nbsp;The majority of the increase was related to immunohematology, with additional emphasis in clinical microbiology and blood virus diagnostic tests.</P>

<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Interest expense for the first quarter of 2010 increased by $6.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2009. &nbsp;An additional $300 million of 8.0% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2016 were issued in May 2009, which increased our interest expense compared to the first quarter of 2009. &nbsp;Our other principal debt obligations are the 2003 and 2004 Senior Subordinated Notes totaling $425.0 million, which carry fixed rates of interest of 7.5% and 6.125%, respectively.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Foreign currency exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany net receivables and payables and the change in fair value of our forward foreign exchange contracts used to manage our foreign currency exchange risk. &nbsp;Foreign currency exchange gains, net for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was primarily attributable to market volatility, costs to hedge, and the result of the estimating process inherent in the timing of shipments and payments of intercompany debt.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Other income, net for the first quarter of 2010 was $0.8 million compared to other expense, net of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2009. &nbsp;The first quarter of 2010 included interest income and dividends on our portfolio of investments. &nbsp;The first quarter of 2009 included a charge of $2.5 million of other-than-temporary impairments on short and long-term marketable equity and debt securities owned by us. &nbsp;Partially offsetting these impairment charges were interest income and dividends on our portfolio of investments and miscellaneous non-operating gains and losses from the sale of property, plant and equipment.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Our effective tax rate was 29% and 26% for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. &nbsp;The effective tax rates for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 both reflected tax benefits for nontaxable dividend income, research and development tax credits, and differences between U.S. and foreign rates. &nbsp;The higher effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to the expiration of the research and development tax credit in the U.S. and an increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Our effective tax rate may be impacted in the future, either favorably or unfavorably, by many factors including but not limited to statutory tax rates, changes in tax laws or regulations, tax audits and settlements, and generation of tax credits.</P>

<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Bio-Rad operates and conducts business globally, primarily through subsidiary companies established in the markets in which we trade. &nbsp;Goods are manufactured in a small number of locations, and are then shipped to local distribution facilities around the world. &nbsp;Our product mix is diversified, and certain products compete largely on product efficacy, while others compete on price. &nbsp;Gross margins are generally sufficient to exceed normal operating costs. &nbsp;Funding for research and development of new products as well as routine outflows of capital expenditure and tax expense are covered by cash flow from operations. &nbsp;Our cash flow from operations is also sufficient to make interest payments. &nbsp;In addition to the annual positive cash flow from operating activities, additional liquidity is readily available via the sale of short-term investments.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">At March 31, 2010, we had available $691.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. &nbsp;Under domestic and international lines of credit, we had $241.5 million available for borrowing as of March 31, 2010, of which $8.0 million is reserved for standby letters of credit issued by our banks to guarantee our obligations to various companies. &nbsp;Included in the lines of credit is the $200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, which expires on June&nbsp;21, 2010, unless it is renewed. &nbsp;We are currently evaluating our options on renewing the Revolving Credit Facility or similar arrangements. &nbsp;Management believes that this availability, excluding the Revolving Credit Facility, together with cash flow from operations, will be adequate to meet our current objectives for operations, research and development, capital additions for manufacturing and distribution, plant and equipment, information technology systems and future acquisitions for the fo
reseeable future.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Net cash provided by operations was $22.3 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. &nbsp;The net improvement of $15.9 million represents the conversion of higher sales levels to cash compared to the prior periods, partially offset by higher interest payments from the $300 million bond offering in May&nbsp;2009, an increase in cash paid to suppliers and employees, and higher payments on income taxes. &nbsp;We continue to focus on cash flow improvements as a global company-wide goal.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Net capital expenditures totaled $16.1 million and $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. &nbsp;Capital expenditures represent the addition and replacement of production machinery and research equipment, ongoing manufacturing and facility additions for expansions, regulatory and environmental compliance, and leasehold improvements. &nbsp;Also included in capital expenditures are investments in business systems and data communication upgrades and enhancements. &nbsp;We anticipate accelerating expenditures in future periods to initiate expanding e-commerce platforms internationally and implementation of a global ERP system. &nbsp;These projects are rolling out slower than anticipated to allow for increased due diligence. &nbsp;All periods included reagent rental equipment placed with Clinical Diagnostics customers who then contract to purchase our reagents for use.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">On January 6, 2010, we acquired certain diagnostic businesses of Biotest for 45 million Euros (approximately $64.9 million) in cash. &nbsp;This acquisition is included in our Clinical Diagnostics segment. &nbsp;We continue to review possible acquisitions to expand both our Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics segments. &nbsp;We routinely meet with the principals or brokers of the subject companies. &nbsp;We are evaluating some acquisitions on a preliminary basis. &nbsp;It is not certain that any of these transactions will advance beyond the preliminary stages to be completed.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">On May 4, 2010, we disclosed that, based on an internal review by us, we had identified conduct in certain of our overseas operations that may have violated the anti-bribery provisions of the United States FCPA, the FCPA&#146;s books and records and internal controls provisions and our own internal policies. &nbsp;We have not assessed at this time whether any of the activities in question violated the laws of the foreign jurisdictions in which they took place. &nbsp;In May 2010, we voluntarily disclosed these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). &nbsp;The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has assumed direct responsibility for reviewing these matters and has hired experienced independent counsel to conduct an investigation and provide legal advice. &nbsp;We intend to provide additional information to the DOJ and the SEC as the Audit Committee&#146;s investigation progresses.</P>

</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Recent global market and economic conditions have been unprecedented and challenging with tighter credit conditions, slower growth and recession in most major economies during 2009. Although signs of recovery may exist, there are continued concerns about the systemic impact of inflation, the availability and cost of credit, a declining real estate market and geopolitical issues that contribute to increased market volatility and uncertain expectations for the global economy. These conditions, combined with declining business activity levels and consumer confidence, increased unemployment and volatile oil prices, contributed to unprecedented levels of volatility in the capital markets during 2009. Any additional, continued or recurring disruptions in the capital and credit markets may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">As a result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. &nbsp;Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to provide credit to businesses and consumers. &nbsp;These factors have led to a decrease in spending by businesses and consumers alike. &nbsp;Our customers and vendors may experience cash flow concerns and, as a result, customers may modify, delay or cancel plans to purchase our products and vendors may increase their prices, reduce their output or change terms of sales. Additionally, if customers&#146; or vendors&#146; operating and financial performance deteriorates, or if they are unable to make scheduled payments or obtain credit, customers may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, amounts owed
 to us.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt">Vendors may restrict credit or impose less favorable payment terms. Any inability of current and/or potential customers to pay us for our products or any demands by vendors for accelerated payment terms may adversely affect our earnings and cash flow. &nbsp;Additionally, strengthening of the U.S. dollar associated with the global financial crisis may adversely affect the results of our international operations when those results are translated into U.S. dollars. </P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR>

<P style="margin:0px" align=center>24</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt; page-break-before:always">Furthermore, the disruption in the credit markets could impede our access to capital, especially if we are unable to maintain our current credit ratings. &nbsp;Should we have limited access to additional financing sources when needed, we may decide to defer capital expenditures or seek other higher cost sources of liquidity, which may or may not be available to us on acceptable terms. &nbsp;Continued turbulence in the U.S. and international markets and economies, and prolonged declines in business and consumer spending may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and the liquidity and financial condition of our customers, including our ability to refinance maturing liabilities and access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.</P>
