Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
8 rewritten, 16 added, 5 removed, 69 unchanged
The biotechnology and [removed: hematology] [added: clinical control] industries are very competitive.
[removed: Any] [added: Since the Company creates value for its customers through the development of high-quality products, any] significant [added: decline in quality or] disruption of [removed: these] operations for any reason could adversely affect sales and customer relationships, and therefore adversely affect the business.
Approximately [removed: 30%] [added: 31%] of the Company’s sales are made through its foreign subsidiaries, which transact their sales in foreign currencies.
Sales [removed: to] [added: in] Europe made up approximately [removed: 29%] [added: 28%] of the Company’s net sales in fiscal [removed: 2012.][added: 2013.]
The approval process applicable to clinical [removed: diagnostic] [added: control] products of the type that may be developed by the Company may take a year or more.
These securities [added: may] include U.S. government and agency securities, [added: state and municipal securities,] foreign government [removed: and agency] securities, [added: U.S. and foreign] corporate debt and equity securities and certificates of deposit.
The Company has an approximate [removed: 18.0%] [added: 15.0%] equity investment in ChemoCentryx, Inc. (CCXI) that is valued at [removed: $94.7] [added: $89.6] million on the Company’s June 30, [removed: 2012] [added: 2013] Balance Sheet.
These factors make it possible that the Company could experience future dilution or a substantial decline in the [removed: $65.2] [added: $60.2] million unrealized gain it has on its CCXI investment and/or its $29.5 million investment in CCXI.
The Company conducts and plans to grow its business in developing markets.
The Company’s efforts to grow its businesses depends, to a degree, on its success in developing market share in additional geographic markets including, but not limited to, China.
In some cases, these countries have greater political and economic volatility and greater vulnerability to infrastructure and labor disruptions than the Company’s other markets.
Operating and seeking to expand business in a number of different regions and countries exposes the Company to multiple and potentially conflicting cultural practices, business practices and legal and regulatory requirements.
At August 26, 2013, the market value of the Company’s investment in CCXI was $51.2 million and its unrealized gain declined to $21.8 million.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls that, if not properly corrected, could adversely affect our operations and result in material misstatements in our financial statements.
As described in “Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures”, we have identified a material weakness in our system of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company has identified a material weakness in the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of general IT controls (GITCs) intended to ensure that access to financial applications and data was adequately restricted to appropriate personnel, and that program changes to particular financial applications are documented, tested, and moved into the production environment only by individuals separate from the development function.
As a result, certain classes of transactions subject to controls that rely upon information generated by the Company’s IT systems that are subject to the operation of the GITCs, including the completeness, existence, and accuracy of revenue and accounts receivable, allow for a reasonable possibility that a misstatement is not adequately prevented or detected through the operation of management’s system of internal control over financial reporting.
In response to the material weakness we have developed a plan to enhance our internal testing approach, including related procedures, documentation, and possible expansion of human resources, for select controls to ensure that we have adequately addressed the completeness and accuracy of system-generated information used to support the operation of the controls and to improve segregation of duties.
Although there can be no assurances, we believe these enhancements and improvements, when repeated in future periods, will remediate the material weakness described above.
However, if we are not able to remedy the material weakness in a timely manner, we may be unable to provide holders of our securities with the required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information.
Either of these events could subject us to regulatory enforcement and other actions, and could have a material adverse effect on our operations, investor, supplier and customer confidence in our reported financial information and the trading price of our common stock.
##### [Table of Contents](#toc)
The Company may be unsuccessful in integrating Boston Biochem and Tocris into its operations.
The actual financial results of Boston Biochem and Tocris could differ from the Company’s forecasts, effecting the Company’s future sales and net earnings.
If the integrations of the acquired businesses are not successful, the Company may record unexpected impairment charges.
Factors that will affect the success of the acquisitions include any decrease in customer loyalty caused by dissatisfaction with the combined companies’ product lines or its sales and marketing practices, including price increases, the ability to retain key employees and the ability of the Company to achieve synergies among its subsidiary companies.
Such synergies include leveraging the combined companies’ sales and marketing efforts, achieving certain cost savings and effectively combining technologies to develop new products.

The remaining increase in fiscal 2013 was the result of increased executive compensation and marketing wages and consulting related to upgrading the Company’s website.

Interest income in fiscal 2013 remained flat from fiscal 2012 as a result of increased cash balances offset by lower interest rates.
The Company has a 16.8% ownership interest in Nephromics LLC (Nephromics).
The sale price included a payment at closing, future payment contingent upon the issuance of certain patents, and royalties on future sublicense income.

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2011 included $4.7 million net sales from companies acquired during fiscal 2011.
Consolidated net earnings for fiscal 2010 included a $4.7 million tax benefit as a result of a foreign currency exchange tax loss on the repatriation of prior-year earnings from R&D Europe to the U.S.
Consolidated organic net sales, excluding the impact of the acquisitions and the effect of the change from the prior year in exchange rates used to convert sales in foreign currencies (primarily British pound sterling, euros and Chinese yuan) into U.S. dollars, were as follows (in thousands):

The change from the comparable fiscal year was primarily the result of the following (in thousands):
| | | _Increase/ (Decrease)_ | | | | | | |
| Increase due to acquired companies selling, general and administrative expenses | | | 3,256 | | | | 945 | |
| Customer relationships and trade names amortization | | | 1,502 | | | | 50 | |

| Other, including annual wage, salary and benefit increases | | | 2,337 | | | | 213 | |
| | | $ | 5,786 | | | $ | 3,197 | |
The decrease in non-acquisition related legal fees in fiscal 2012 and 2011 was primarily from lower costs associated with ongoing patent interference and infringement litigation.
Fiscal 2012 legal costs also include $170,000 for the settlement of the litigation.
The increase in fiscal 2012 stock-based compensation expense was the result of options issued to employees in connection with the acquisitions in fiscal 2011.
The increase in 2011 profit sharing and bonus expense reflect the change in financial results from fiscal 2010.
| Hematology | | | 1,697 | | | | 1,451 | | | | 1,393 | |
| Hematology | | | 800 | | | | 809 | | | | 790 | |
The decrease in fiscal 2011 from the prior fiscal year was primarily the result of lower rates of return on cash and available-for-sale investments, offset in part by higher cash and available-for-sale investment balances prior to the acquisitions.
The Company determined such valuation allowance was no longer necessary as a result of the Company’s unrealized gain on its investment in ChemoCentryx, Inc. (CCXI).
The Company has the intent and ability to sell a portion of its CCXI investment and realize a long-term capital gain to offset long-term capital losses from its investments in unconsolidated entities.
The fiscal 2010 consolidated tax rate was positively impacted by a $4.7 million tax benefit from a foreign currency exchange tax loss related to the repatriation of £50 million ($74.4 million) from R&D Europe to the U.S. The Company had previously paid U.S. income taxes on the foreign earnings that were included in the repatriated funds.
Excluding this tax benefit, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 would have been 32.8%.
Consolidated net earnings, excluding the impact of accounting for acquired inventory, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition costs, impairment losses on investments and income tax adjustments are as follows (in thousands):
| Professional and other acquisition related costs | | | 0 | | | | 1,735 | | | | 0 | |
| Tax benefit from repatriation | | | 0 | | | | 0 | | | | (4,660 | ) |

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
0 rewritten, 1 added, 14 removed, 0 unchanged
As of August 23, 2013, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In a previously disclosed lawsuit filed by Streck, Inc. (Streck), venued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska (the Nebraska Court), Streck alleged patent infringement involving certain patents issued to Streck relating to the addition of reticulocytes to hematology controls.
Streck was seeking a royalty on sales of integrated hematology controls containing reticulocytes.
The Company has reason to believe that R&D Systems, and not Streck, first invented the inventions claimed in these patents and several other patents issued to Streck.
As a result, the Company requested, and in 2007 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) declared, an interference to determine priority of invention between a patent application filed by R&D Systems and five Streck patents, including each of the patents involved in the lawsuit.
On November 2, 2009, the interference board ordered that judgment for the Company and against Streck be entered; finding that R&D Systems was the first to invent the integrated hematology controls containing reticulocytes.
##### [Table of Contents](#toc)
Days earlier, on October 28, 2009, at the conclusion of trial in the Nebraska Court, a jury decided that the Company did not meet its burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that the Streck patents were invalid.
The jury also found that a reasonable license royalty rate was 12.5%, and that R&D Systems did not willfully infringe, resulting in a judgment in favor of Streck in the amount of approximately $170,000 including court-related costs.
On September 30, 2010, the Nebraska Court upheld the jury verdict and, in a related action, reversed the ruling of the USPTO interference board.
The Nebraska Court entered an injunction prohibiting the making and selling of the products that are the subject of the lawsuit.
In October 2010, the Company appealed the adverse decisions of the Nebraska Court to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
On October 20, 2011, the Federal Circuit issued an opinion upholding the District Court’s interference-related finding of priority in favor of Streck, and on January 10, 2012, the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court’s infringement finding and permanent injunction.
The Company filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, seeking to reverse or vacate the Federal Circuit affirmances.
The Petition was not granted, and in June 2012, the Company paid $170,000 in full satisfaction of the judgment and court-related costs.

The Company had previously disclosed that available-for-sale debt securities were valued using Level 1 inputs and has determined that such securities should have been categorized as Level 2 securities.
Certificates of deposit are carried at cost and are not subject to the fair value hierarchy.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities during fiscal 2013.
The fair value of the warrants as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and were valued using Level 2 inputs.
Subsequent to June 30, 2013 the share price of CCXI has experienced a significant decline in value.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08 _Intangibles – Goodwill and Other_ under an amendment to Topic 350_,_ which permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test.
If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-08 for its fiscal year 2012 annual impairment test.
The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02 _Intangibles – Goodwill and Other_ under an amendment to Topic 350_,_ which permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible assets is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.
An entity will have an option not to calculate annually the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the entity determines that it is not more likely than not that that the asset is impaired.
The update is effective for the Company for annual and interim impairment tests for fiscal 2014.
Early adoption is permitted.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2012-02 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
Recent accounting pronouncements: In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05 _Comprehensive Income_ under an amendment to Topic 220.
Under this update, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.
In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.
ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
The update does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
The Company must comply with ASU No. 2011-05 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-05 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had a $14.3 million investment in the preferred stock of CCXI and accounted for the investment on a cost basis.
The investment was included in “Investments in unconsolidated entities” at June 30, 2011.
In September 2011, the Company entered into a $10.0 million loan agreement with CCXI.
The loan was carried at fair value (Level 3 input) while outstanding.
The loan agreement contained a number of conversion features contingent upon CCXI obtaining future debt or equity financing.
The agreement also included a $5.0 million commitment by the Company to participate in a private placement in the event of a successful public offering of CCXI shares.
On February 8, 2012, CCXI completed its initial public offering (IPO) at $10 per share.
Upon the close of the IPO, the Company’s investment in CCXI’s preferred shares and the loan, plus accrued interest, converted into CCXI common stock.
Activity related to available-for-sale investments with Level 3 inputs were as follows (in thousands):

5 rewritten, 18 added, 4 removed, 1 unchanged
As [added: required by Rule 13a-15(b)] of the [added: Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the] end of the period covered by this report, the [removed: Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer,] [added: effectiveness] of [removed: the Company’s] [added: our] disclosure controls and procedures [removed: (as] [added: as] defined in [removed: Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities] Exchange Act [removed: of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)).][added: Rule 13a-15(e).]
[removed: _Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting_][added: MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING]
[removed: The management of the Company] [added: Management] is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial [removed: reporting, as such term is] [added: reporting (as] defined in [removed: Exchange Act] Rule [removed: 13a-15(f).][added: 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).]
[removed: As of June 30, 2012, management, under the supervision of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on] [added: In making this assessment, our management used] the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting [removed: established] [added: described] in “Internal [removed: Control — Integrated Framework,”] [added: Control—Integrated Framework (1992)”] issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway [removed: Commission (COSO).][added: Commission.]
Based on [removed: the] [added: this] assessment, management [added: has] determined that [added: due to] the [removed: Company maintained effective] [added: material weaknesses described below, our] internal control over financial reporting [added: was not effective] as of June 30, [removed: 2012.][added: 2013.]
Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that is described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2013.
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company has identified a material weakness in the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of general IT controls (GITCs) intended to ensure that access to financial applications and data was adequately restricted to appropriate personnel, and that program changes to particular financial applications are documented, tested, and moved into the production environment only by individuals separate from the development function.
As a result, certain classes of transactions subject to controls that rely upon information generated by the Company’s IT systems that are subject to the operation of the GITCs, including the completeness, existence, and accuracy of revenue and accounts receivable, allow for a reasonable possibility that a misstatement is not adequately prevented or detected through the operation of management’s system of internal control over financial reporting.

_Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting_
In light of the material weakness identified above, the Company performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and accurately reflect its financial position and results of operation as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013.
As a result, notwithstanding the material weakness as described above, management concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
In response to the material weakness we have developed a plan with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors to remediate the material weakness.
We will enhance our internal testing approach, including related procedures, documentation, and possible expansion of human resources, for select controls to ensure that we have adequately addressed the completeness and accuracy of system generated information used to support the operation of the controls and to improve segregation of duties.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013 has been audited by KPMG LLP, as stated in their report which is included elsewhere herein.
With the actions described in this Item 9A, we conclude that the consolidated financial statements included in this 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
_Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting_
There were no other material changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(e) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
_Changes in Internal Controls_
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
