In April 2013, the Company acquired approximately 28 million shares of Series E preferred stock of RainDance Technologies, Inc. (“RainDance”) of Lexington, Massachusetts, for $5 million. RainDance provides high-throughput picodroplet-based technology that can encapsulate a single molecule, cell or reaction and be digitally analyzed and sorted one at a time. The Series E shares purchased by the Company represented less than 5% of the total shares outstanding of RainDance’s capital stock. Subsequent to the investment the Company evaluated its relationship with RainDance and determined it did not have significant influence over the operations of RainDance. The Company’s investment in RainDance has been recorded under the cost method as an “Other Asset” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company will periodically evaluate the investment for impairment. No impairment indicators were noted at June 30, 2014.

- Definition The entire disclosure for investments accounted for under the cost-method. The carrying amount of such investments may be adjusted, for example, distributions in excess of cost (return of capital) or for other-than-temporary impairments. The cost method and lower-of-cost or market, an adaptation of the cost method, is generally followed for most investments in noncontrolled corporations, in some corporate joint ventures, and to a lesser extent in unconsolidated subsidiaries in which the entity does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 325 -SubTopic 20 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6872867&loc=d3e40691-111596 + Details
