New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

As described in “Item 9A.

New in FY2013

Controls and Procedures”, we have identified a material weakness in our system of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

Although there can be no assurances, we believe these enhancements and improvements, when repeated in future periods, will remediate the material weakness described above.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

The increase in fiscal 2013 was the results of $607,000 of professional fees related to the acquisition of Bionostics Holdings Limited, which was completed in early fiscal 2014 and $500,000 of professional fees related to the design and engineering for a new facility in the U.K. A decision was made in late fiscal 2013 to pursue other options related to the facilities in the U.K. These increases in fiscal 2013 were offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in profit sharing and bonuses as compared to fiscal 2012.

New in FY2013

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.

Dropped from FY2012

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.

Dropped from FY2012

Excluding this tax benefit, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 would have been 32.8%.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

0 rewritten, 1 added, 14 removed, 0 unchanged

New in FY2013

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.

Dropped from FY2012

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.

Dropped from FY2012

Streck was seeking a royalty on sales of integrated hematology controls containing reticulocytes.

Dropped from FY2012

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.

Dropped from FY2012

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.

Dropped from FY2012

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.

Dropped from FY2012

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.

Dropped from FY2012

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.

Dropped from FY2012

On September 30, 2010, the Nebraska Court upheld the jury verdict and, in a related action, reversed the ruling of the USPTO interference board.

Dropped from FY2012

The Nebraska Court entered an injunction prohibiting the making and selling of the products that are the subject of the lawsuit.

Dropped from FY2012

In October 2010, the Company appealed the adverse decisions of the Nebraska Court to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.

Dropped from FY2012

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.

Dropped from FY2012

The Company filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, seeking to reverse or vacate the Federal Circuit affirmances.

Dropped from FY2012

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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_

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013

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.

New in FY2013
