component of our strategy has and continues to be to establish our WAVE System as an industry standard in the biomedical research market and to develop additional markets for the WAVE System such as clinical research and diagnostics.&nbsp;For
continued high quality support for our WAVE System and associated bioconsumables, we attained ISO90001:2000 certification for our Omaha manufacturing site in the fourth quarter of 2008 and have since been certified to the ISO9001:2008 standard in

the unique sensitivity of detecting DNA mutations in cancer genes which are central to effective therapy selection for current and future cancer therapeutics.&nbsp;To this end, we are now gaining clinical trial program contracts which we believe
will more rapidly impact our revenue opportunities from this segment. To compliment our mutation detection expertise, we also have strengthened our capabilities in biomarker development and mutation detection in novel cancer pathway genes which will
aid in the development of true personalized medicine for our pharmaceutical partners.&nbsp;We recently licensed and are developing a new technology for even greater DNA mutation enrichment and detection sensitivity which should prove to be the
highest sensitivity technology in the market. In our Molecular Clinical Reference Laboratory we have continued to seek out or develop new tests to further expand our menu and growth opportunities for this business.</FONT></P> <P

at December&nbsp;31, 2009), management believes existing sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million, are sufficient to meet expected cash needs during 2010.&nbsp;We will need to increase net sales in order to meet our
liquidity needs on a long-term basis.&nbsp;In future periods, there is no assurance that we will be able to increase net sales or further reduce expenses and, accordingly, we may not have sufficient sources of liquidity to continue operations
indefinitely.&nbsp;The current economic conditions may have a negative impact on our net sales in 2010.&nbsp;The tightening of the credit market may make it difficult for customers to purchase instruments due to lack of funding.&nbsp;This was
certainly true in 2009. In the event we do not have net sales growth, we expect to make cost reductions to align our expenses with our net sales. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

in order to access customers that may not be able to afford new systems. Bioinstrument net sales are down $1.0 million, or 9% during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. We sold 32 WAVE Systems during the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 compared to 30 systems during 2008. This increase resulted from higher demand in the Asia markets which is offset by our average sales price decreasing 30% from 2008 to 2009. This decrease in average sales price is
largely due to the geographic makeup of the sales. We sold 11 OEM instruments during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 compared to 13 in the same period of 2008 with a 6% increase in the average sales price. There was a reduction in service
contract net sales in the European market largely due to foreign currency exchange impact of $0.5 million. Service contract revenue decreased in the United States due to fewer service contract renewals. Demand for WAVE Systems continues to be
affected by significant competitive challenges from traditional (i.e. sequencing) and evolving technologies. Instrument related revenue is subject to many factors such as type of instrument sold and the country of sale. Due to these factors each
period should be considered on a stand alone basis and is not indicative of future net sales streams. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman"

these tests. The Pharmacogenomics Research Services net sales of $1.0 million during 2009 decreased 26% over the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. Pharmacogenomics Research revenue was lower during 2009 than in 2008 due to fewer large projects

December&nbsp;31, 2009 compared to $13.6 million or 57% during the same period of 2008. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of net sales is largely attributable to changes in the composition of products sold. Margins on bioinstruments declined
from 64% to 63% from 2008 to 2009 due to the change in the geographic mix of instruments sold, a decline in service contract revenue and obsolescence of $0.1 million related to an older low throughput instrument. Margins on bioconsumables decreased
from 53% in 2008 to 48% in 2009 primarily related to an obsolescence reserve of $0.4 million for control plasmids used in our SURVEYOR kits and the transition from a steel syringe delivery method to a disposable delivery method. The Laboratory
Services business segment margins decreased for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 to 38% as compared to 45% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. The margin decline in the Laboratory Services business segment is driven by the decrease in
Pharmacogenomics Research Services revenue. In addition, Laboratory Services had higher operating supplies cost in 2009 than the same period in 2008 related to the higher volume of tests and work required on the Pharmacogenomic projects. </FONT></P>

foreign countries are mainly completed in either British Pounds Sterling or the Euro. Additionally, the British Pound is the functional currency of our wholly owned subsidiary, Transgenomic Limited. Results of operation and the Balance Sheet are
translated from the functional currency of the subsidiary, Great British Pounds, to our reporting currency of the US Dollar. Results of operations for the Company&#146;s foreign subsidiaries are translated using the average exchange rate during the
period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. In addition, we have revaluation risk which occurs when the transaction is done in a currency other than the British Pound. This transaction must
be revalued within the Transgenomic Limited ledger, whose functional currency is the British Pound Sterling. The majority of the transactions on this ledger are in Euro. As a result we are subject to exchange rate risk. The foreign exchange rates
have had large variances recently. At January&nbsp;1, 2008 the Euro to Great British Pound exchange rate was .73650 as compared to December&nbsp;31, 2009 rate of .9000. The Great British Pound to US Dollar exchange rate was 1.9970 at January&nbsp;1,
2008 compared to 1.59280 at December&nbsp;31, 2009. Such large changes in foreign exchange rates may negatively impact our business in 2010. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

based on receipt of an unconditional customer order and transfer of title and risk of ownership to the customer, typically upon shipment of the product under a purchase order. Our sales terms do not provide for the right of return unless the product
is damaged or defective. Net sales from certain services associated with the analytical instruments, to be performed subsequent to shipment of the products, is deferred and recognized when the services are provided. Such services, mainly limited to
installation and training services that are not essential to the functionality of the instruments, typically are performed in a timely manner subsequent to shipment of the instrument. We also enter into various service contracts that cover installed
instruments. These contracts cover specific time periods and net sales associated with these contracts are deferred and ratably recognized over the service period. At December&nbsp;31, 2009 and December&nbsp;31, 2008, deferred net sales mainly
associated with our service contracts, included in the balance sheet in other current liabilities, was approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"

2029. Of these federal net operating loss carryforwards, $6.4 million were obtained in the acquisition of Annovis, Inc. and may be subject to certain restrictions. At December&nbsp;31, 2009, we
had unused state tax net operating loss carryforwards from continuing and discontinued operations of approximately $41.0 million that expire at various times beginning in 2010. At December&nbsp;31, 2009, we had unused research and development credit
carryforwards from continuing and discontinued operations of $1.4 million that expire at various times between 2010 and 2024. A net deferred tax liability was recorded during 2009 related to the UK income taxes for less than $0.1 million. A
valuation allowance has been provided for the remaining deferred tax assets, due to the cumulative losses in recent years and an inability to utilize any additional losses as carrybacks. We will continue to assess the recoverability of deferred tax
assets and the related valuation allowance. To the extent we begin to generate income in future years and it is determined that such valuation allowance is no longer required, the tax benefit of the remaining deferred tax assets will be recognized
at such time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We had no material unrecognized tax benefits, interest, or penalties during fiscal 2009 or

tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions. We have statutes of limitation open for Federal income tax returns related to tax years 2007 and 2008. We have state income tax returns

equity-based compensation, including stock options, dividend equivalent rights (&#147;DERs&#148;), stock appreciation rights (&#147;SARs&#148;), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares and other awards, to
employees and directors of the Company. The Plan was adopted in 2006 as a modification of the Company&#146;s 1997 Stock Option Plan (the &#147;Prior Plan&#148;). In addition to providing for additional types of equity-based awards, the Plan
increased the total number of shares of common stock that the Company may issue from 7,000,000 under the Prior Plan to 10,000,000 shares under the Plan; provided, that no more than 5,000,000 of such shares may be used for grants of restricted stock,
restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares and other awards. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Plan is administered by
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the &#147;Committee&#148;) which has the authority to set the number, exercise price, term and vesting provisions of the awards granted under the Plan, subject to the terms thereof. Either
incentive or non-qualified stock options may be granted to employees of the Company, but only nonqualified stock options may be granted to nonemployee directors and advisors. However, in either case, the Plan requires that stock options must be
granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Options issued under the plan vest over periods as determined by the Compensation Committee and expire 10 years after the date the option
was granted. To date, the only awards made under the Plan (and the Prior Plan) have been non-incentive stock options. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman"
