We recently took the following additional actions to further strengthen our core businesses:
 
Restructuring:
During fiscal year 2011, we recorded a $5.6 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities, the closure of excess facility space, and contract termination costs. We also recognized an $8.1 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. Our management approved these plans principally to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets and to reduce resources in response to the continued economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain other end markets. We also recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.3 million relating to our previous restructuring plans due to lower than expected costs associated with workforce reductions in Europe within both our Human Health and Environmental Health segments, partially offset by a reduction in the estimated sublease rental payments reasonably expected to be obtained for our excess facility space within both our Human Health and Environmental Health segments. The pre-tax restructuring activity associated with these plans has been reported as restructuring expenses and is included as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations. We expect the impact of immediate cost savings from these restructuring plans on operating results and cash flows to approximately offset the increased spending in higher growth regions and the decline in revenue from certain products, respectively. We expect the impact of future cost savings from these restructuring activities on operating results and cash flows to be negligible, as we will incur offsetting costs.
 
As part of our ongoing business strategy, we also took the following action:

Share Repurchase Program:
On October 23, 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors (our “Board”) authorized us to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). On August 31, 2010, we announced that our Board had authorized us to repurchase an additional 5.0 million shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During fiscal year 2011, we repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $107.8 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. During fiscal year 2010, we repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $71.5 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. During fiscal year 2009, we repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $14.2 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. As of January 1, 2012, approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock remained available for repurchase from the 15.0 million shares authorized by our Board under the Repurchase Program.
 
Business Segments and Products
We report our business in two segments: Human Health and Environmental Health. We performed our annual impairment testing on January 3, 2011, the annual impairment date for our reporting units, and based on the first step of the impairment process (the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value), we concluded that there was no goodwill impairment.

Brand Names:
Our Environmental Health segment offers additional products under various brand names, including Chromera™, HyperDSC®, LAMBDA™, LABWORKS™, OneSource®, and Spectrum™.
 
Marketing
All of our businesses market their products and services directly through their own specialized sales forces. As of January 1, 2012, we employed approximately 3,300 sales and service representatives operating in approximately 35 countries and marketing products and services in more than 150 countries. In geographic regions where we do not have a sales and service presence, we utilize distributors to sell our products.
 
Raw Materials, Key Components and Supplies
Each of our businesses uses a wide variety of raw materials, key components and supplies that are generally available from alternate sources of supply and in adequate quantities from domestic and foreign sources. We generally have multi-year contracts, with no minimum purchase requirements, with certain of our suppliers. For certain critical raw materials, key components and supplies required for the production of some of our principal products, we have qualified only a limited or a single source of supply. We periodically purchase quantities of some of these critical raw materials in excess of current requirements, in anticipation of future manufacturing needs. With sufficient lead times, we believe we would be able to qualify alternative suppliers for each of these raw materials and key components. See the applicable risk factor in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for an additional description of this issue.
 
Intellectual Property
We own numerous United States and foreign patents and have patent applications pending in the United States and abroad. We also license intellectual property rights to and from third parties, some of which bear royalties and are terminable in specified circumstances. In addition to our patent portfolio, we possess a wide array of unpatented proprietary technology and know-how. We also own numerous United States and foreign trademarks and trade names for a variety of our product names, and have applications for the registration of trademarks and trade names pending in the United States and abroad. We believe that patents and other proprietary rights are important to the development of both of our reporting segments, but we also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to develop and maintain the competitive position of both of our reporting segments. We do not believe that the loss of any one patent or other proprietary right would have a material adverse effect on our overall business or on any of our reporting segments.
 
In some cases, we may participate in litigation or other proceedings to defend against or assert claims of infringement, to enforce our patents or our licensors’ patents, to protect our trade secrets, know-how or other intellectual property rights, or to determine the scope and validity of our or third parties’ intellectual property rights. Litigation of this type could result in substantial cost to us and diversion of our resources. An adverse outcome in any litigation or proceeding could subject us to significant liabilities or expenses, require us to cease using disputed intellectual property or cease the sale of a product, or require us to license the disputed intellectual property from third parties. We are currently involved in a lawsuit involving claims of violation of intellectual property rights. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” for a discussion of this matter.
 
Backlog
We believe that backlog is not a meaningful indicator of future business prospects for either of our business segments due to the short lead time required on a majority of our sales. Therefore, we believe that backlog information is not material to an understanding of our business.
 

10

Competition
Due to the wide range of our products and services, we face many different types of competition and competitors. This affects our ability to sell our products and services and the prices at which these products and services are sold. Our competitors range from large foreign and domestic organizations, which produce a comprehensive array of goods and services and that may have greater financial and other resources than we do, to small firms producing a limited number of goods or services for specialized market segments.
 
We compete on the basis of service level, price, technological innovation, operational efficiency, product differentiation, product availability, quality and reliability. Competitors range from multinational organizations with a wide range of products to specialized firms that in some cases have well-established market niches. We expect the proportion of large competitors to increase through the continued consolidation of competitors.
 
We believe we compete effectively in each of the areas in which our businesses experience competition.
 
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures were approximately $115.8 million during fiscal year 2011, approximately $94.8 million during fiscal year 2010, and approximately $90.5 million during fiscal year 2009.
 
We directed our research and development efforts in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 primarily toward the diagnostics and research markets within our Human Health segment, and the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets within our Environmental Health segment, in order to help accelerate our growth initiatives. We expect to continue our strong investments in research and development to drive growth during fiscal year 2012, and to continue to emphasize the diagnostics and research markets within our Human Health segment, and the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets within our Environmental Health segment.

Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to various foreign, federal, state and local environmental and safety laws and regulations. These requirements include those governing uses, emissions and discharges of hazardous substances, the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, the regulation of radioactive materials, and the health and safety of our employees.
 
We may have liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act and comparable state statutes that impose liability for investigation and remediation of contamination without regard to fault, in connection with materials that we or our former businesses sent to various third-party sites. We have incurred, and expect to incur, costs pursuant to these statutes.
 
We are conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at our current and former locations and, along with other companies, have been named a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for certain waste disposal sites. We accrue for environmental issues in the accounting period that our responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. We have accrued $6.7 million as of January 1, 2012, which represents our management’s estimate of the total cost of ultimate disposition of known environmental matters. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where we have been named a PRP, our management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. We expect that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had, or are expected to have, a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
 
In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, we settled an insurance claim resulting from a fire that occurred at our facility in Boston, Massachusetts in March 2005. We accrued $9.7 million representing our management’s estimate of the total cost for decommissioning the building, including environmental matters, which was damaged in the fire. We paid $2.5 million during fiscal year 2009, $1.6 million during fiscal year 2008 and $3.9 million during fiscal year 2007 towards decommissioning the building. We sold the building on April 27, 2010. Net proceeds from the sale were $11.0 million, and we recorded a pre-tax gain of $3.4 million in operating income.
 

11

We may become subject to new or unforeseen environmental costs or liabilities. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations, stricter interpretations of existing laws, or the discovery of new contamination could cause us to incur additional costs.
 
Employees
As of January 1, 2012, we employed approximately 7,200 employees in our continuing operations. Several of our subsidiaries are parties to contracts with labor unions and workers’ councils. As of January 1, 2012, we employed an aggregate of approximately 840 union and workers’ council employees. We consider our relations with employees to be satisfactory.

Financial Information About Reporting Segments
We have included the expenses for our corporate headquarters, such as legal, tax, audit, human resources, information technology, and other management and compliance costs, as well as the expense related to mark-to-market and curtailments on postretirement benefit plans, as “Corporate” below. We have a process to allocate and recharge expenses to the reportable segments when these costs are administered or paid by the corporate headquarters based on the extent to which the segment benefited from the expenses. These amounts have been calculated in a consistent manner and are included in our calculations of segment results to internally plan and assess the performance of each segment for all purposes, including determining the compensation of the business leaders for each of our reporting segments.

Financial Information About Geographic Areas
Both of our reporting segments conduct business in, and derive substantial revenue from, various countries outside the United States. During fiscal year 2011, we had $1,192.7 million in sales from our international operations, representing approximately 62% of our total sales. During fiscal year 2011, we derived approximately 38% of our international sales from our Human Health segment, and approximately 62% of our international sales from our Environmental Health segment. We anticipate that sales from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total sales in the future.
 
We are exposed to the risks associated with international operations, including exchange rate fluctuations, regional and country-specific political and economic conditions, foreign receivables collection concerns, trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements, tax risks, staffing and labor law concerns, intellectual property protection risks, and differing regulatory requirements. Additional geographic information is discussed in Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
 
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
 
The following important factors affect our business and operations generally or affect multiple segments of our business and operations:
If the markets into which we sell our products decline or do not grow as anticipated due to a decline in general economic conditions, or there are uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals, or there are unfavorable changes in government regulations, we may see an adverse effect on the results of our business operations.
Our customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, laboratories, academic and research institutions, public health authorities, private healthcare organizations, doctors and government agencies. Our quarterly revenue and results of operations are highly dependent on the volume and timing of orders received during the quarter. In addition, our revenues and earnings forecasts for future quarters are often based on the expected trends in our markets. However, the markets we serve do not always experience the trends that we may expect. Negative fluctuations in our customers’ markets, the inability of our customers to secure credit or funding, restrictions in capital expenditures, general economic conditions, cuts in government funding or unfavorable changes in government regulations would likely result in a reduction in demand for our products and services. In addition, government funding is subject to economic conditions and the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Our revenues may be adversely affected if our customers delay or reduce purchases as a result of uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals. Such declines could harm our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and trading price of our common stock, and could limit our ability to sustain profitability.

13

Our growth is subject to global economic, political and other risks.
We have operations in many parts of the world. The global economy has a significant impact on our business. The global economy experienced a significant downturn throughout 2008 and 2009. This downturn was caused in part by the effects of the credit market crisis and the resulting impact on the finance and banking industries, volatile currency exchange rates and energy costs, inflation concerns, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital expenditures, and liquidity concerns. Although the global economy began showing signs of gradual improvement in 2010, debt and equity markets experienced renewed disruption beginning early in the third quarter of 2011, including the downgrading of government issued debt in the United States and other countries. The overall rate of global recovery experienced during the course of 2010 and 2011 remains uneven and recovery is still uncertain. There can be no assurance that any of the recent economic improvements will be sustainable, or that we will not experience any adverse effects that may be material to our consolidated cash flows, results of operations, financial position or our ability to access capital. Our business is also affected by local economic environments, including inflation, recession, financial liquidity and currency volatility or devaluation. Political changes, some of which may be disruptive, could interfere with our supply chain, our customers and all of our activities in a particular location. In addition, our global facilities face risks that may relate to natural disasters, labor relations or regulatory compliance. While certain of these risks can be hedged in a limited way using financial instruments and some are insurable, such attempts to mitigate these risks are costly and not always successful. In addition, our ability to engage in such mitigation has decreased or become even more costly as a result of recent market developments.
If we do not introduce new products in a timely manner, we may lose market share and be unable to achieve revenue growth targets.
We sell many of our products in industries characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions, and evolving customer needs and industry standards. Many of the businesses competing with us in these industries have significant financial and other resources to invest in new technologies, substantial intellectual property portfolios, substantial experience in new product development, regulatory expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and established distribution channels to deliver products to customers. Our products could become technologically obsolete over time, or we may invest in technology that does not lead to revenue growth or continue to sell products for which the demand from our customers is declining, in which case we may lose market share or not achieve our revenue growth targets. The success of our new product offerings will depend upon several factors, including our ability to:
•
accurately anticipate customer needs,
•
innovate and develop new technologies and applications,
•
successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner,
•
price our products competitively, and manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and on time, and
•
differentiate our offerings from our competitors’ offerings.
Many of our products are used by our customers to develop, test and manufacture their products. We must anticipate industry trends and consistently develop new products to meet our customers’ expectations. In developing new products, we may be required to make significant investments before we can determine the commercial viability of the new product. If we fail to accurately foresee our customers’ needs and future activities, we may invest heavily in research and development of products that do not lead to significant revenue. We may also suffer a loss in market share and potential revenue if we are unable to commercialize our technology in a timely and efficient manner.
In addition, some of our licensed technology is subject to contractual restrictions, which may limit our ability to develop or commercialize products for some applications.
We may not be able to successfully execute acquisitions or license technologies, integrate acquired businesses or licensed technologies into our existing businesses, make acquired businesses or licensed technologies profitable, or successfully divest businesses.
We have in the past supplemented, and may in the future supplement, our internal growth by acquiring businesses and licensing technologies that complement or augment our existing product lines, such as our acquisition of Caliper in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, our acquisitions of Dexela, Labtronics, Geospiza and CambridgeSoft in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, and our acquisitions of ArtusLabs, IDB and chemagen in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. However, we may be unable to identify or complete promising acquisitions or license transactions for many reasons, such as:
•
competition among buyers and licensees,
•
the high valuations of businesses and technologies,

14

•
the need for regulatory and other approval, and
•
our inability to raise capital to fund these acquisitions.
Some of the businesses we acquire may be unprofitable or marginally profitable, or may increase the variability of our revenue recognition. Accordingly, the earnings or losses of acquired businesses may dilute our earnings. For these acquired businesses to achieve acceptable levels of profitability, we would have to improve their management, operations, products and market penetration. We may not be successful in this regard and may encounter other difficulties in integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations, such as incompatible management, information or other systems, cultural differences, loss of key personnel, unforeseen regulatory requirements, previously undisclosed liabilities or difficulties in predicting financial results. Additionally, if we are not successful in selling businesses we seek to divest, the activity of such businesses may dilute our earnings and we may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of such divestitures. As a result, our financial results may differ from our forecasts or the expectations of the investment community in a given quarter or over the long term.
To finance our acquisitions, we may have to raise additional funds, either through public or private financings. We may be unable to obtain such funds or may be able to do so only on terms unacceptable to us. We may also incur expenses related to completing acquisitions or licensing technologies, or in evaluating potential acquisitions or technologies, which may adversely impact our profitability.
We may not be successful in adequately protecting our intellectual property.
Patent and trade secret protection is important to us because developing new products, processes and technologies gives us a competitive advantage, although it is time-consuming and expensive. We own many United States and foreign patents and intend to apply for additional patents. Patent applications we file, however, may not result in issued patents or, if they do, the claims allowed in the patents may be narrower than what is needed to protect fully our products, processes and technologies. Similarly, applications to register our trademarks may not be granted in all countries in which they are filed. For our intellectual property that is protected by keeping it secret, such as trade secrets and know-how, we may not use adequate measures to protect this intellectual property.
Third parties may also challenge the validity of our issued patents, may circumvent or “design around” our patents and patent applications, or may claim that our products, processes or technologies infringe their patents. In addition, third parties may assert that our product names infringe their trademarks. We may incur significant expense in legal proceedings to protect our intellectual property against infringement by third parties or to defend against claims of infringement by third parties. Claims by third parties in pending or future lawsuits could result in awards of substantial damages against us or court orders that could effectively prevent us from manufacturing, using, importing or selling our products in the United States or other countries.
If we are unable to renew our licenses or otherwise lose our licensed rights, we may have to stop selling products or we may lose competitive advantage.
We may not be able to renew our existing licenses, or licenses we may obtain in the future, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we lose the rights to a patented or other proprietary technology, we may need to stop selling products incorporating that technology and possibly other products, redesign our products or lose a competitive advantage. Potential competitors could in-license technologies that we fail to license and potentially erode our market share.
Our licenses typically subject us to various economic and commercialization obligations. If we fail to comply with these obligations, we could lose important rights under a license, such as the right to exclusivity in a market. In some cases, we could lose all rights under the license. In addition, rights granted under the license could be lost for reasons out of our control. For example, the licensor could lose patent protection for a number of reasons, including invalidity of the licensed patent, or a third-party could obtain a patent that curtails our freedom to operate under one or more licenses.
If we do not compete effectively, our business will be harmed.
We encounter aggressive competition from numerous competitors in many areas of our business. We may not be able to compete effectively with all of these competitors. To remain competitive, we must develop new products and periodically enhance our existing products. We anticipate that we may also have to adjust the prices of many of our products to stay competitive. In addition, new competitors, technologies or market trends may emerge to threaten or reduce the value of entire product lines.

15

Our quarterly operating results could be subject to significant fluctuation, and we may not be able to adjust our operations to effectively address changes we do not anticipate, which could increase the volatility of our stock price and potentially cause losses to our shareholders.
Given the nature of the markets in which we participate, we cannot reliably predict future revenue and profitability. Changes in competitive, market and economic conditions may require us to adjust our operations, and we may not be able to make those adjustments or make them quickly enough to adapt to changing conditions. A high proportion of our costs are fixed, due in part to our research and development and manufacturing costs. As a result, small declines in sales could disproportionately affect our operating results in a quarter. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include:
•
demand for and market acceptance of our products,
•
competitive pressures resulting in lower selling prices,
•
changes in the level of economic activity in regions in which we do business,
•
changes in general economic conditions or government funding,
•
settlements of income tax audits,
•
differing tax laws and changes in those laws, or changes in the countries in which we are subject to taxation,
•
changes in our effective tax rate,
•
changes in industries, such as pharmaceutical and biomedical,
•
changes in the portions of our revenue represented by our various products and customers,
•
our ability to introduce new products,
•
our competitors’ announcement or introduction of new products, services or technological innovations,
•
costs of raw materials, energy or supplies,
•
our ability to execute ongoing productivity initiatives,
•
changes in the volume or timing of product orders,
•
fluctuation in the expense related to mark-to-market and curtailments on postretirement benefit plans, and
•
changes in assumptions used to determine contingent consideration in acquisitions.
A significant disruption in third-party package delivery and import/export services, or significant increases in prices for those services, could interfere with our ability to ship products, increase our costs and lower our profitability.
We ship a significant portion of our products to our customers through independent package delivery and import/export companies, including UPS and Federal Express in the United States, TNT, UPS and DHL in Europe and UPS in Asia. We also ship our products through other carriers, including national trucking firms, overnight carrier services and the United States Postal Service. If one or more of the package delivery or import/export providers experiences a significant disruption in services or institutes a significant price increase, we may have to seek alternative providers and the delivery of our products could be prevented or delayed. Such events could cause us to incur increased shipping costs that could not be passed on to our customers, negatively impacting our profitability and our relationships with certain of our customers.
Disruptions in the supply of raw materials, certain key components and other goods from our limited or single source suppliers could have an adverse effect on the results of our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.
The production of our products requires a wide variety of raw materials, key components and other goods that are generally available from alternate sources of supply. However, certain critical raw materials, key components and other goods required for the production and sale of some of our principal products are available from limited or single sources of supply. We generally have multi-year contracts with no minimum purchase requirements with these suppliers, but those contracts may not fully protect us from a failure by certain suppliers to supply critical materials or from the delays inherent in being required to change suppliers and, in some cases, validate new raw materials. Such raw materials, key components and other goods can usually be obtained from alternative sources with the potential for an increase in price, decline in quality or delay in delivery. A prolonged inability to obtain certain raw materials, key components or other goods is possible and could have an adverse effect on our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.

16

The manufacture and sale of products and services may expose us to product liability claims for which we could have substantial liability.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims if our products, services or product candidates are alleged or found to have caused injury, damage or loss. We may in the future be unable to obtain insurance with adequate levels of coverage for potential liability on acceptable terms or claims of this nature may be excluded from coverage under the terms of any insurance policy that we can obtain. If we are unable to obtain such insurance or the amounts of any claims successfully brought against us substantially exceed our coverage, then our business could be adversely impacted.
If we fail to maintain satisfactory compliance with the regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration and other governmental agencies, we may be forced to recall products and cease their manufacture and distribution, and we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties.
Our operations are subject to regulation by different state and federal government agencies in the United States and other countries. If we fail to comply with those regulations, we could be subject to fines, penalties, criminal prosecution or other sanctions. Some of the products produced by our Human Health segment are subject to regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration and similar foreign and domestic agencies. These regulations govern a wide variety of product activities, from design and development to labeling, manufacturing, promotion, sales, resales and distribution. If we fail to comply with those regulations or those of similar foreign and domestic agencies, we may have to recall products, cease their manufacture and distribution, and may be subject to fines or criminal prosecution.
Changes in governmental regulations may reduce demand for our products or increase our expenses.
We compete in markets in which we or our customers must comply with federal, state, local and foreign regulations, such as environmental, health and safety, and food and drug regulations. We develop, configure and market our products to meet customer needs created by these regulations. Any significant change in these regulations could reduce demand for our products or increase our costs of producing these products.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated and if we fail to comply with its extensive system of laws and regulations, we could suffer fines and penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations which could have a significant adverse effect on the results of our business operations.
The healthcare industry, including the genetic screening market, is subject to extensive and frequently changing international and United States federal, state and local laws and regulations. In addition, legislative provisions relating to healthcare fraud and abuse, patient privacy violations and misconduct involving government insurance programs provide federal enforcement personnel with substantial powers and remedies to pursue suspected violations. We believe that our business will continue to be subject to increasing regulation as the federal government continues to strengthen its position on healthcare matters, the scope and effect of which we cannot predict. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil and criminal damages, fines and penalties, exclusion from participation in governmental healthcare programs, and the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations necessary to operate our business, as well as incur liabilities from third-party claims, all of which could have a significant adverse effect on our business.
Economic, political and other risks associated with foreign operations could adversely affect our international sales and profitability.
Because we sell our products worldwide, our businesses are subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Our sales originating outside the United States represented the majority of our total revenue in fiscal year 2011. We anticipate that sales from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total revenue. In addition, many of our manufacturing facilities, employees and suppliers are located outside the United States. Accordingly, our future results of operations could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:
•
changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
•
changes in a country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, particularly in developing or emerging markets,
•
longer payment cycles of foreign customers and timing of collections in foreign jurisdictions,
•
trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements,
•
differing tax laws and changes in those laws, or changes in the countries in which we are subject to tax,
•
adverse income tax audit settlements or loss of previously negotiated tax incentives,

17

•
differing business practices associated with foreign operations,
•
difficulty in transferring cash between international operations and the United States,
•
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations,
•
differing labor laws and changes in those laws,
•
differing protection of intellectual property and changes in that protection,
•
increasing global enforcement of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, and
•
differing regulatory requirements and changes in those requirements.
If we do not retain our key personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy will be limited.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers and key management and technical personnel, particularly our experienced engineers and scientists, and on our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. The competition for these employees is intense. The loss of the services of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, there could be a material adverse effect on us should the turnover rates for engineers and other key personnel increase significantly or if we are unable to continue to attract qualified personnel. We do not maintain any key person life insurance policies on any of our officers or employees.
Our success also depends on our ability to execute leadership succession plans. The inability to successfully transition key management roles could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
If we experience a significant disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems, or if we fail to implement new systems and software successfully, our business could be adversely affected.
We rely on several centralized information technology systems throughout our company to provide products and services, keep financial records, process orders, manage inventory, process shipments to customers and operate other critical functions. Our information technology systems may be susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to power outages, hardware failures, computer viruses, attacks by computer hackers, telecommunication failures, user errors, catastrophes or other unforeseen events. If we were to experience a prolonged system disruption in the information technology systems that involve our interactions with customers or suppliers, it could result in the loss of sales and customers and significant incremental costs, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, security breaches of our information technology systems could result in the misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information belonging to us or to our employees, partners, customers or suppliers, which could result in our suffering significant financial or reputational damage.
We have a substantial amount of outstanding debt, which could impact our ability to obtain future financing and limit our ability to make other expenditures in the conduct of our business.
We have outstanding debt and other financial obligations. As of February 23, 2012, we had approximately $1.0 billion of debt on a consolidated basis.
Our debt level and related debt service obligations could have negative consequences, including:
•
requiring us to dedicate significant cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our debt, which reduces the funds we have available for other purposes, such as acquisitions and stock repurchases;
•
reducing our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and market conditions; and
•
exposing us to interest rate risk since a portion of our debt obligations are at variable rates.
In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness in the future to meet future financing needs. If we add new debt, the risks described above could increase.
Restrictions in our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and other debt instruments may limit our activities.
Our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, our 6% senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) and our 2021 Notes include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that could otherwise benefit our company. These include restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:
•
pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock,
•
sell assets,
•
incur obligations that restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to make dividend or other payments to us,

18

•
guarantee or secure indebtedness,
•
enter into transactions with affiliates, and
•
consolidate, merge or transfer all, or substantially all, of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
We are also required to meet specified financial ratios under the terms of certain of our existing debt instruments. Our ability to comply with these financial restrictions and covenants is dependent on our future performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including factors that are beyond our control, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, changes in technology and changes in the level of competition. In addition, if we are unable to maintain our investment grade credit rating, our borrowing costs would increase and we would be subject to different and potentially more restrictive financial covenants under some of our existing debt instruments.
Any future indebtedness that we incur may include similar or more restrictive covenants. Our failure to comply with any of the restrictions in our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, our 2015 Notes, our 2021 Notes or any future indebtedness may result in an event of default under those debt instruments, which could permit acceleration of the debt under those debt instruments, and require us to prepay that debt before its scheduled due date under certain circumstances.
Our results of operations will be adversely affected if we fail to realize the full value of our intangible assets.
As of January 1, 2012, our total assets included $2.8 billion of net intangible assets. Net intangible assets consist principally of goodwill associated with acquisitions and costs associated with securing patent rights, trademark rights, core technology and technology licenses, net of accumulated amortization. We test certain of these items—specifically all of those that are considered “non-amortizing”—at least annually for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair market value of the reporting unit to which they are assigned. All of our amortizing intangible assets are also evaluated for impairment should events occur that call into question the value of the intangible assets.
Adverse changes in our business, adverse changes in the assumptions used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, or the failure to grow our Human Health and Environmental Health segments may result in impairment of our intangible assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our share price will fluctuate.
Over the last several quarters, stock markets in general and our common stock in particular have experienced significant price and volume volatility. Both the market price and the daily trading volume of our common stock may continue to be subject to significant fluctuations due not only to general stock market conditions but also to a change in sentiment in the market regarding our operations and business prospects. In addition to the risk factors discussed above, the price and volume volatility of our common stock may be affected by:
•
operating results that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors,
•
the financial performance of the major end markets that we target,
•
the operating and securities price performance of companies that investors consider to be comparable to us,
•
announcements of strategic developments, acquisitions and other material events by us or our competitors, and
•
changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest or foreign exchange rates, commodity and equity prices and the value of financial assets.
Dividends on our common stock could be reduced or eliminated in the future.
On January 27, 2012, we announced that our Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 that will be payable in May 2012. In the future, our Board may determine to reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.

Properties
 
As of January 1, 2012, our continuing operations occupied 2,487,000 square feet in over 115 locations. We own 549,000 square feet of this space, and lease the balance. We conduct our operations in manufacturing and assembly plants, research laboratories, administrative offices and other facilities located in 14 states and 31 foreign countries.

19

 
Facilities outside of the United States account for approximately 1,286,000 square feet of our owned and leased property, or approximately 52% of our total occupied space.

Our real property leases are both short-term and long-term. We believe that our properties are well-maintained and are adequate for our present requirements.

Legal Proceedings
 
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, “Enzo”) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. (the “New York Case”). The complaint alleges that we have breached our distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzo’s patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzo’s patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. Enzo seeks injunctive and monetary relief. In 2003, the court severed the lawsuit and ordered Enzo to serve individual complaints against the five defendants. We subsequently filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzo’s patents are invalid. In July 2006, the court issued a decision regarding the construction of the claims in Enzo’s patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, we believe, excludes certain of our products from the coverage of Enzo’s patents. Summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants in January 2007, and a hearing with oral argument on those motions took place in July 2007. In January 2009, the case was assigned to a new district court judge and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decides Enzo’s appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the “Connecticut Case”), which involves a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzo’s case against us. On March 26, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. The New York Case against us and other defendants remains stayed except that the district court has permitted us and the other defendants to jointly file a motion for summary judgment on certain patent and other issues common to all of the defendants.
 
We believe we have meritorious defenses to the matter described above, and we are contesting the action vigorously. While this matter is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
 
We are also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although we have established accruals for potential losses that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at January 1, 2012 should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to us.

____________________________

On October 23, 2008, we announced that our Board authorized us to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). On August 31, 2010, we announced that our Board had authorized us to repurchase an additional 5.0 million shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock in the open market under the Repurchase Program. As of January 1, 2012, approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock remained available for repurchase from the 15.0 million shares authorized by our Board under the Repurchase Program. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
(2)
Our Board has authorized us to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we repurchased 77 shares of common stock for this purpose. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
 
Dividends
During fiscal years 2011 and 2010, we declared regular quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. The table below sets forth the cash dividends per share that we declared on our common stock during each of those fiscal years, by quarter.

While it is our current intention to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be made by our Board and will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other factors. Our Board may reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.

Stock Performance Graph
Set forth below is a line graph comparing the cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock against the cumulative total return of the S&P Composite-500 Index and two peer group indices for the five fiscal years from December 31, 2006 to January 1, 2012. The "Prior Peer Group" consists of Affymetrix, Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., and Waters Corporation. This peer group is the same as the peer group used in the stock performance graph in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended January 2, 2011, except that it does not include Beckman Coulter, Inc., which has been excluded due to its acquisition by Danaher Corporation in June 2011. As a result of the small number of companies remaining in our peer group, we have added Agilent Technologies Inc. and Life Technologies Corporation to our "New Peer Group" for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012 and going forward. The New Peer Group consists of Affymetrix, Inc., Agilent Technologies Inc., Life Technologies Corporation, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., and Waters Corporation.

Selected Financial Data
 
The following table sets forth selected historical financial information as of and for each of the fiscal years in the five-year period ended January 1, 2012. We derived the selected historical financial information for the balance sheets for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011 and the statement of operations for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended January 1, 2012 from our audited consolidated financial statements which are included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. We derived the selected historical financial information for the statements of operations for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007 from our audited consolidated financial statements which are not included in this annual report on Form 10-K. We derived the selected historical financial information for the balance sheets as of January 3, 2010, December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007 from our audited consolidated financial statements which are not included in this annual report on Form 10-K. As with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010, we adjusted the information in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007, where appropriate, to account for our change in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefit plans and for discontinued operations.
 
Our historical financial information may not be indicative of our future results of operations or financial position.
 
The following selected historical financial information should be read together with our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.

____________________________
(1)
In fiscal year 2011, we changed our method of accounting for postretirement benefit plans. The consolidated financial information for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the effect of this accounting change. The cumulative effect of the change on retained earnings as of December 31, 2006 was a decrease of approximately $64.1 million, with the corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. For the expense related to mark-to-market and curtailments on postretirement benefit plans we recorded a pre-tax loss of $67.9 million in fiscal year 2011, a pre-tax loss of $0.2 million in fiscal year 2010, a pre-tax loss of $6.4 million in fiscal year 2009, a pre-tax loss of $75.2 million in fiscal year 2008 and a pre-tax gain of $6.7 million in fiscal year 2007.
(2)
We adopted the authoritative guidance for stock compensation on January 2, 2006. The total incremental pre-tax compensation expense recorded in continuing operations related to stock options was $4.5 million in fiscal year 2011, $6.2 million in fiscal year 2010, $7.9 million in fiscal year 2009, $9.2 million in fiscal year 2008 and $8.5 million in fiscal year 2007.
(3)
We incurred pre-tax restructuring and contract termination charges, net, of $13.5 million in fiscal year 2011, $19.0 million in fiscal year 2010, $18.0 million in fiscal year 2009, $6.7 million in fiscal year 2008, and $13.9 million in fiscal year 2007.
(4)
We settled an insurance claim resulting from a fire that occurred in one of our facilities in March 2005. As a result of that settlement, we recorded pre-tax gains of $15.3 million in fiscal year 2007. We sold the building on April 27, 2010. Net proceeds from the sale were $11.0 million, and we recorded a pre-tax gain of $3.4 million in operating income.
(5)
In fiscal year 2011, interest expense was $24.8 million primarily due to the increased debt and the higher interest rates on those debt balances with the issuance of the senior unsecured notes due 2021. For fiscal year 2011, acquisition related financing costs related to certain acquisitions added an additional expense of $3.1 million, and is included in interest expense.
(6)
In fiscal year 2010, we acquired the remaining fifty percent equity interest in our joint venture (the "ICPMS Joint Venture") with the company previously known as MDS, Inc. for the development and manufacturing of our Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry ("ICPMS") product line. The fair value of the acquisition was $67.7 million, including cash consideration of $35.0 million, non-cash consideration of $2.6 million for certain non-exclusive rights to intangible assets we own, and $30.4 million representing the fair value of our fifty percent equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture held prior to the acquisition. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $25.6 million from the re-measurement to fair value of our previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture. This pre-tax gain is reported in interest and other (income) expense, net, for fiscal year 2010.
(7)
In fiscal year 2008, we settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of our 6% senior unsecured notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive (loss) income. We also discontinued forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million during fiscal year 2008. The discontinued cash flow hedges were immediately settled with counterparties, and the $17.5 million loss was recognized as interest and other (income) expense, net. In addition, during fiscal year 2008, interest expense was $23.7 million due to higher outstanding debt balances with the issuance of our 6% senior unsecured notes that primarily related to the purchase of ViaCell, Inc.(“ViaCell”), which was partially offset by lower interest rates on our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
(8)
The fiscal year 2011 effective tax rate on continuing operations of 98.2% was primarily due to the fiscal year 2011 provision of $79.7 million related to our planned $350.0 million repatriation of previously unremitted earnings.
(9)
The fiscal year 2010 effective tax rate on continuing operations of 16.3% was primarily due to the favorable impact related to the gain on the previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture.
(10)
The fiscal year 2008 effective tax rate on continuing operations of 12.3% was primarily due to a $15.6 million benefit related to the settlement of various income tax audits.
(11)
The fiscal year 2007 effective tax rate on continuing operations of 13.2% was primarily due to a $18.6 million benefit related to the settlement of an income tax audit.

(12)
In fiscal year 2008, our Board of Directors (our "Board") approved separate plans to shut down our ViaCyteSMand Cellular Therapy Technology businesses, and our Cellular Screening Fluorescence and Luminescence workstations, Analytical Proteomics Instruments and Proteomics and Genomics Instruments businesses. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $12.8 million related to lease and severance costs and the reduction of fixed assets and inventory to net realizable value.
(13)
In November 2010, we sold our Illumination and Detection Solutions (“IDS”) business for approximately $500.0 million, $482.0 million net of payments for acquired cash balances, subject to an adjustment for working capital as of the closing date. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $315.3 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale of our IDS business. The gain was recognized as a gain on the disposition of discontinued operations.
(14)
In fiscal year 2007, we completed a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of ViaCell. Aggregate consideration for this transaction was approximately $295.8 million in cash, which excludes $31.8 million in acquired cash. In connection with this acquisition, we entered into a $300.0 million unsecured interim credit facility to pay the purchase price and transactional expenses of this acquisition. This unsecured interim credit facility matured on March 31, 2008, at which point we paid in full the outstanding balance. The source of funds for the repayment was comprised of our on-hand cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings under our amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We classified the $300.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the unsecured interim credit facility as long-term debt in fiscal year 2007.
(15)
In May 2008, we issued and sold seven-year senior notes at a rate of 6% with a face value of $150.0 million and received $150.0 million in gross proceeds from the issuance. The debt, which matures in May 2015, is unsecured.
(16)
In October 2011, we issued and sold ten-year senior notes at a rate of 5% with a face value of $500.0 million and received $496.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance. The debt, which matures in May 2021, is unsecured.
(17)
In June 2009, our consolidated subsidiary exercised the right to terminate the receivables purchase agreement with a third-party financial institution releasing both parties of their rights, liabilities and obligations under this agreement. We had an undivided interest in the receivables that had been sold to the third-party financial institution under this agreement of $40.0 million as of December 28, 2008 and $45.0 million as of each December 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006.
(18)
In fiscal year 2007, we adopted the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The impact of this adoption was an increase to retained earnings of $3.6 million and a reduction to accrued liabilities of $3.6 million, with no impact to our consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.
(19)
In fiscal year 2011, we repurchased in the open market approximately 4.0 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $107.8 million, including commissions. In fiscal year 2010, we repurchased in the open market approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $71.5 million, including commissions. In fiscal year 2009, we repurchased in the open market approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $14.2 million, including commissions. In fiscal year 2008, we repurchased in the open market approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $75.5 million, including commissions. In fiscal year 2007, we repurchased in the open market approximately 8.1 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $203.0 million, including commissions. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value. These repurchases were made pursuant to our stock repurchase programs announced in October 2008, as modified in August 2010.

Overview of Fiscal Year 2011
During fiscal year 2011, we continued to see good performance from acquisitions, investments in our ongoing technology and sales and marketing initiatives. Our overall revenue in fiscal year 2011 increased $216.9 million, or 13%, as compared to fiscal year 2010, reflecting an increase of $90.9 million, or 11%, in our Human Health segment revenue and an increase of $126.1 million, or 14%, in our Environmental Health segment revenue. The increase in our Human Health segment revenue during fiscal year 2011 was due primarily to growth generated from both our diagnostics and our medical imaging businesses, partially offset by weakening demand in the research market. The increase in our Environmental Health segment revenue during fiscal year 2011 was due primarily to growth generated from our environmental, food and consumer safety and testing products, as well as in the industrial markets primarily related to chemical processing and energy applications supported by our molecular spectroscopy and chromatography platforms. We also experienced continued growth in our OneSource® multivendor service offering as our comprehensive service offering continues to grow with our key customers.
In our Human Health segment during fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010, we experienced growth in the diagnostics market from increased demand for our neonatal and infectious disease screening offerings, particularly in emerging markets such as China and Brazil. In our medical imaging business, we had continued growth from industrial and veterinary applications, as well as demand for our newly acquired complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (“CMOS”) imaging technology for orthopedic surgical and industrial applications. We also completed our strategic acquisition of Dexela Limited ("Dexela"), which is intended to add complementary imaging technology that should expand our medical imaging business and diversify our customer base. The increases attributable to these factors were partially offset by the impact of tight inventory management in state and national labs for neonatal screening in the diagnostics market. We experienced growth in the research market due to continued demand for our pre-clinical offerings including our Operetta® cellular imaging instrument utilized for in vitro research, our fluorescent reagents utilized for in vivo imaging, our JANUS® automation tools and our EnVision® and EnSpire™ multi-mode plate readers. The growth in the research market was offset in part by reduced sales to pharmaceutical companies resulting from continued customer consolidations in the pharmaceutical market. Despite this decline, we are encouraged by growth in China and India as demand from internal pharmaceutical research is migrating to lower cost regions. We also completed our strategic acquisition of Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. ("Caliper"), which is intended to enhance our molecular imaging and detection technologies and to complement our offerings in life science, diagnostics, environmental and food markets. As the rising cost of healthcare continues to be one of the critical issues facing our customers, we anticipate that even with continued pressure on lab budgets and credit availability, the benefits of providing earlier detection of disease, which can result in savings of long-term health care costs as well as creating better outcomes for patients, are increasingly valued and we expect to see continued growth in these markets.
In our Environmental Health segment, sales of environmental, food and consumer safety and testing products grew in fiscal year 2011 as increased regulations in environmental and food safety markets continue to drive strong demand for our analytical instrumentation and follow-on consumables. We saw continued strength in our inorganic analysis solutions, such as our recently launched NexION® mass spectrometer, as trace metals identification remains a critical component of contaminant detection for environmental, as well as food and consumer safety, applications. We also had continued growth in our molecular spectroscopy offering utilized primarily for materials analysis, chemical processing and semi-conductor applications in the industrial markets. We believe these trends will continue as emerging contaminant testing protocols and corresponding regulations are developed, resulting in continued demand for highly efficient, analytically sensitive and information rich testing

28

solutions. Our laboratory services business continued to grow during fiscal year 2011 by adding new customers to our OneSource multivendor service offering, as well as continued growth of our comprehensive service offering with our key customers. Our laboratory services business offers services designed to enable our customers to increase efficiencies and production time, while reducing maintenance costs, all of which continue to be critical for our customers. We also completed our strategic acquisition of CambridgeSoft Corporation ("CambridgeSoft"), a provider of scientific databases and professional services. This acquisition is intended to expand our software offerings to provide customers with solutions that help them create, analyze and communicate scientific data while improving the speed, quality, efficiency and predictability of their research and development investments.
Our consolidated gross margins decreased 39 basis points in fiscal year 2011, as compared to fiscal year 2010, due to the fiscal year 2011 mark-to-market charge for our postretirement benefit plans, changes in product mix with growth in sales of lower gross margin product offerings and increased freight costs, partially offset by increased sales volume and cost containment and productivity initiatives. Our consolidated operating margin decreased 450 basis points in fiscal year 2011, as compared to fiscal year 2010, primarily as a result of the fiscal year 2011 mark-to-market charge for our postretirement benefit plans, increased costs related to acquisitions, increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, increased freight costs, and growth investments in research and development, partially offset by cost containment and productivity initiatives.
We believe we are well positioned to continue to take advantage of the stable spending trends in our end markets and to promote our efficiencies in markets where current conditions may increase demand for certain services. Overall, we believe that our strategic focus on Human Health and Environmental Health coupled with our breadth of end markets, deep portfolio of technologies and applications, leading market positions, global scale and financial strength will provide us with a strong foundation for continued growth.
 
Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations
 
Revenue
2011 Compared to 2010. Revenue for fiscal year 2011 was $1,921.3 million, as compared to $1,704.3 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $216.9 million, or 13%, which includes an approximate 4% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and an approximate 3% increase in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares segment revenue for fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010 and includes the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. The total increase in revenue reflects a $90.9 million, or 11%, increase in our Human Health segment revenue, due to an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $52.5 million and an increase in research market revenue of $38.4 million. Our Environmental Health segment revenue increased $126.1 million, or 14%, due to increases in environmental and industrial markets revenue of $75.9 million, and an increase in laboratory services market revenue of $50.1 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $30.8 million of revenue primarily related to our informatics business in our Environmental Health segment for fiscal year 2011 and $0.7 million for fiscal year 2010 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods.

2010 Compared to 2009. Revenue for fiscal year 2010 was $1,704.3 million, as compared to $1,550.8 million for fiscal year 2009, an increase of $153.6 million, or 10%, which includes an approximate 2% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and no net impact from changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares segment revenue for fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009 and includes the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. The total increase in revenue reflects a $64.7 million, or 9%, increase in our Human Health segment revenue, due to an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $54.5 million and an increase in research market revenue of $10.2 million. Our Environmental Health segment revenue increased $88.9 million, or 11%, due to increases in environmental and industrial markets revenue of $47.5 million, and an increase in laboratory services market revenue of $41.4 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $0.7 million of revenue for both fiscal years 2010 and 2009 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods.
 
Cost of Revenue
2011 Compared to 2010. Cost of revenue for fiscal year 2011 was $1,070.7 million, as compared to $943.1 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of approximately $127.6 million, or 14%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 55.7% in fiscal year 2011 from 55.3% in fiscal year 2010, resulting in a decrease in gross margin of approximately 39 basis points to 44.3% in fiscal year 2011 from 44.7% in fiscal year 2010. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $53.4 million for fiscal year 2011, as compared to $42.5 million for fiscal year 2010. The mark-to-market adjustment for postretirement benefit plans was a loss of $4.2 million for fiscal year 2011, as compared to a loss of $0.1 million for fiscal year

29

2010. Stock-based compensation expense increased and was $1.1 million for fiscal year 2011, as compared to $0.9 million for fiscal year 2010. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions added an expense of approximately $4.1 million for fiscal year 2011. In addition to the above, the decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of changes in product mix with growth in sales of lower gross margin product offerings and increased freight costs, partially offset by increased sales volume, productivity improvements and cost containment initiatives.
 
2010 Compared to 2009. Cost of revenue for fiscal year 2010 was $943.1 million, as compared to $849.5 million for fiscal year 2009, an increase of approximately $93.6 million, or 11%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 55.3% in fiscal year 2010 from 54.8% in fiscal year 2009, resulting in a decrease in gross margin of approximately 55 basis points to 44.7% in fiscal year 2010 from 45.2% in fiscal year 2009. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $42.5 million for fiscal year 2010, as compared to $36.3 million for fiscal year 2009.

2010 Compared to 2009. Research and development expenses for fiscal year 2010 were $94.8 million, as compared to $90.5 million for fiscal year 2009, an increase of $4.3 million, or 5%. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 5.6% in fiscal year 2010, as compared to 5.8% in fiscal year 2009. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $1.6 million for fiscal year 2010, as compared to $2.0 million for fiscal year 2009. The mark-to-market adjustment for postretirement benefit plans was a minimal gain for fiscal year 2010, as compared to a loss of $0.5 million for fiscal year 2009. Stock-based compensation expense increased and was $0.5 million for fiscal year 2010, as compared to $0.4 million for fiscal year 2009. We directed research and development efforts similarly during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, primarily toward the diagnostics and research markets within our Human Health segment, and the environmental, and laboratory service and support markets within our Environmental Health segment, in order to help accelerate our growth initiatives.
 
Restructuring and Contract Termination Charges, Net
We have undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, alignment with our growth strategy and the integration of our business units. Restructuring and contract termination charges, net, for fiscal year 2011 were a $13.5 million charge, as compared to a $19.0 million charge for fiscal year 2010 and an $18.0 million charge for fiscal year 2009.

The restructuring plans for the fourth quarter and second quarter of fiscal year 2011 and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 were intended principally to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets. The restructuring plan for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was intended principally to reduce resources in response to the continued economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets and to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets. The activities associated with these plans have been reported as restructuring expenses and are included as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations. We expect the impact of immediate cost savings from the restructuring plans on operating results and cash flows to approximately offset the increased spending in higher growth regions and the decline in revenue from certain products, respectively. We expect the impact of future cost savings from these restructuring activities on operating results and cash flows to be negligible, as we will incur offsetting costs by shifting resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets.
 
Q4 2011 Restructuring Plan
 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, our management approved a plan to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (the “Q4 2011 Plan”). As a result of the Q4 2011 Plan, we recognized a $2.3 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. We also recognized a $4.7 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space.
 
As part of the Q4 2011 Plan, we reduced headcount by 114 employees. All employee notifications and actions related to the closure of excess facility space for the Q4 2011 Plan were completed by January 1, 2012. All employees have been notified of termination and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $4.7 million for workforce reductions will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. We also anticipate that the remaining payments of $0.4 million for the closure of excess facility space will be paid through fiscal year 2022, in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases.

Q2 2011 Restructuring Plan
 
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, our management approved a plan to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (the “Q2 2011 Plan”). As a result of the Q2 2011 Plan, we recognized a $2.2 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. We also recognized a $3.4 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space.
 
As part of the Q2 2011 Plan, we reduced headcount by 72 employees. All employee notifications and actions related to the closure of excess facility space for the Q2 2011 Plan were completed by July 3, 2011. All employees have been notified of termination and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $1.3 million for workforce reductions will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Q4 2010 Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, our management approved a plan to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (our “Q4 2010 Plan”). As a result of our Q4 2010 Plan, we recognized a $5.7 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. We also recognized a $7.8 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. The restructuring costs for the closure of excess facility space was offset by the recognition of a $2.8 million gain that had been deferred from a previous sales-leaseback transaction on this facility. During fiscal year 2011, we recorded an additional pre-tax restructuring accrual of $0.3 million relating to the Q4 2010 Plan due to a reduction in the estimated sublease rental payments reasonably expected to be obtained for our excess facility space in our Environmental Health segment.
 
As part of our Q4 2010 Plan, we reduced headcount by 113 employees. All employee notifications and actions related to the closure of excess facility space for the Q4 2010 Plan were completed by January 2, 2011. All employees have been notified of termination and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $0.5 million for workforce reductions will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. We also anticipate that the remaining payments of $3.8 million for the closure of excess facility space will be paid through fiscal year 2022, in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases.

Q2 2010 Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, our management approved a plan to reduce resources in response to the continued economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets and to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (our “Q2 2010 Plan”). As a result of our Q2 2010 Plan, we recognized a $7.3 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. The restructuring costs for the closure of excess facility space was offset by the recognition of a $0.1 million gain that had been deferred from a previous sales-leaseback transaction on this facility. We also recognized a $3.1 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. During fiscal year 2011, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.7 million relating to the Q2 2010 Plan due to lower than expected costs associated with the workforce reductions in Europe within both our Human Health and Environmental Health segments, and recorded a charge of $0.2 million to reduce the estimated sublease rental payments reasonably expected to be obtained for an excess facility in Europe within our Environmental Health segment.
 
As part of our Q2 2010 Plan, we reduced headcount by 115 employees. All employee notifications and actions related to the closure of excess facility space for the Q2 2010 Plan were completed by July 4, 2010. All employees have been notified of termination and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $0.1 million for workforce reductions will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. We also anticipate that the remaining payments of $1.7 million for the closure of excess facility space will be paid through fiscal year 2022, in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease.

Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from fiscal years 2001 through 2009 were workforce reductions related to the integration of our businesses in order to reduce costs and achieve operational efficiencies as well as workforce reductions in both our Human Health and Environmental Health segments by shifting resources into geographic regions and product lines that are more consistent with our growth strategy. During fiscal year 2011, we paid $1.1 million related to these plans, recorded a reversal of $1.2 million related to lower than expected costs associated with workforce reductions in Europe within both our Human Health and Environmental Health segments, and recorded a charge of $0.4 million to reduce the estimated sublease rental payments reasonably expected to be obtained for an excess facility in Europe within our Environmental Health segment. In addition, as part of the Caliper acquisition we acquired its remaining restructuring accrual for the closure of an excess facility with a fair value of $3.8 million at the acquisition date. As of January 1, 2012, we had approximately $8.3 million of remaining liabilities associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily for residual lease obligations related to closed facilities in both our Human Health and Environmental Health segments. Payments for these leases, the terms of which vary in length, will be made through fiscal year 2022.
 

33

Contract Termination Charges
We have terminated various contractual commitments in connection with various disposal activities for costs to terminate contracts before the end of the terms and costs that will continue to be incurred under various contracts for the remaining terms without economic benefit to us. We recorded a pre-tax charge of $2.0 million in fiscal year 2011, a pre-tax charge of $0.1 million in fiscal year 2010 and a pre-tax charge of $0.9 million in fiscal year 2009 for the termination of these contractual commitments. We were required to make payments for these obligations of $0.4 million during fiscal year 2011, $1.7 million during fiscal year 2010, and $1.1 million during fiscal year 2009. The remaining balance of these accruals as of January 1, 2012 was $2.1 million.
 
Impairment of Assets
2011 Compared to 2010. Impairment of assets was $3.0 million in fiscal year 2011 and zero in fiscal year 2010. The fiscal year 2011 impairment was a charge of $3.0 million for the impairment of intangible assets within our Human Health segment for the full impairment of license agreements, that we no longer intend to use, relating to an acquisition in fiscal year 2006.

2011 Compared to 2010. Interest and other expense (income), net, for fiscal year 2011 was an expense of $26.8 million, as compared to income of $8.4 million for fiscal year 2010, a change of $35.2 million. The increase in interest and other expense (income), net, in fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the pre-tax gain of $25.6 million recognized during fiscal year 2010 related to the required re-measurement to fair value of our previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture and other related tangible assets. Interest expense increased by $8.9 million in fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010, primarily due to the increased debt and the higher interest rates on those debt balances with the issuance of the 2021 Notes. Interest income increased by $1.1 million in fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010, primarily due to higher cash balances. For fiscal year 2011, acquisition related financing costs related to certain acquisitions added expense of $3.1 million, and is included in interest expense. Other expenses for fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010 increased by $1.7 million, and consisted primarily of expenses related to foreign currency transactions and translation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities. A more complete discussion of our liquidity is set forth below under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
 
2010 Compared to 2009. Interest and other expense (income), net, for fiscal year 2010 was income of $8.4 million, as compared to an expense of $15.8 million for fiscal year 2009, a decrease of $24.2 million. The decrease in interest and other expense (income), net, in fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to the pre-tax gain of $25.6 million recognized during fiscal year 2010 related to the required re-measurement to fair value of our previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture. Interest expense decreased by $0.1 million and interest income decreased by $0.2 million in fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009, primarily due to lower interest rates. Other expenses for fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009 increased by $1.3 million, and consisted primarily of expenses related to foreign currency transactions and translation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities.
 
Provision for Income Taxes
2011 Compared to 2010. The fiscal year 2011 provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $63.2 million, as compared to a provision of $27.0 million for fiscal year 2010. The effective tax rate on continuing operations was 98.2% for fiscal year 2011 as compared to 16.3% for fiscal year 2010. The higher effective tax rate in fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to (i) an additional provision of $79.7 million related to our planned $350.0 million repatriation of previously unremitted earnings, and (ii) the mix of profits from lower tax rate jurisdictions.
 

34

2010 Compared to 2009. The fiscal year 2010 provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $27.0 million, as compared to a provision of $26.7 million for fiscal year 2009. The effective tax rate on continuing operations was 16.3% for fiscal year 2010 as compared to 26.7% for fiscal year 2009. The lower effective tax rate in fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to (i) the favorable impact related to the gain on the previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture, and (ii) the favorable settlement of several income tax audits worldwide during fiscal year 2010. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K for further discussion of these settlements.
 
Discontinued Operations
As part of our continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, we have discontinued certain businesses. We have accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations and, accordingly, have presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of these businesses have been presented separately, and are reflected within the assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011.
 
We recorded the following pre-tax gains and losses, which have been reported as a gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations during the three fiscal years ended:

In November 2010, we sold our IDS business, which was included in our Environmental Health segment, for $510.3 million including an adjustment for net working capital. We expect the divestiture of our IDS business to reduce the complexity of our product offerings and organizational structure, and to provide capital to reinvest in other Human Health and Environmental Health end markets. The buyer acquired our IDS business through the purchase of all outstanding stock of certain of our subsidiaries located in Germany, Canada, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States as well as the purchase of related assets and the assumption of liabilities held by us and certain of our subsidiaries located in Singapore and Germany. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $315.3 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale of our IDS business. During fiscal year 2011, we finalized the net working capital adjustment associated with the sale of this business and other potential contingencies, which resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax loss of $1.8 million. These gains and losses were recognized as gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations.
 
As part of our strategic business alignment into the Human Health and Environmental Health segments, completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, and our continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, in December 2008, our management approved a plan to divest our Photoflash business within our Environmental Health segment. In June 2010, we sold the Photoflash business for $13.5 million, including an adjustment for net working capital, plus potential additional contingent consideration. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $4.4 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale. This gain was recognized as a gain on disposition of discontinued operations.
 
During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, we settled various matters related to the divestiture of other discontinued operations and recognized a pre-tax gain of $3.9 million in fiscal year 2011, a pre-tax loss of $1.8 million in fiscal year 2010 and a pre-tax loss of $3.0 million in fiscal year 2009. During fiscal year 2011, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $4.0 million for contingent consideration related to the sale of our semiconductor business in fiscal year 2006. During fiscal year 2009, we recognized a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million for a settlement with the landlord of a closed facility.

We recognized a tax benefit of $4.5 million on discontinued operations in fiscal year 2011, a tax provision of $96.6 million on discontinued operations in fiscal year 2010 and a tax provision of $3.3 million in fiscal year 2009 on discontinued operations. The recognition of $4.5 million income tax benefit in fiscal year 2011 is primarily the net result of a change in estimate related to the federal income tax liability associated with the repatriation of the unremitted earnings of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, as further described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K, offset by the tax provision on the contingent consideration received in fiscal year 2011 related to the sale of our semiconductor business in fiscal year 2006. The recognition of $96.6 million income tax expense in fiscal year 2010 includes $16.0 million of income tax expense associated with unremitted earnings of directly-owned foreign subsidiaries that no longer qualified as indefinitely reinvested once the subsidiary was held for sale, and $65.8 million related to the federal income tax liability associated with the repatriation of the unremitted earnings of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, as further described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K.
 
Business Combinations
Acquisition of Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. In November 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. Caliper is a provider of imaging and detection solutions for life sciences research, diagnostics and environmental markets. Caliper develops and sells integrated systems, consisting of instruments, software, reagents, laboratory automation tools, and assay development and discovery services, primarily to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostics companies, and government and other not-for-profit research institutions. We expect this acquisition to enhance our molecular imaging and detection technologies and to complement our offerings in life science, diagnostics, environmental and food markets. We paid the shareholders of Caliper $646.3 million in cash for the stock of Caliper. We financed the acquisition by issuing $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2021 in a registered public offering and received approximately $496.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance, with the remainder of the purchase price paid from available cash. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to us, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. We have reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of our Human Health segment from the acquisition date.
 
Acquisition of Dexela Limited. In June 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Dexela Limited. Dexela is a provider of flat panel complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (“CMOS”) x-ray detection technologies and services. We expect this acquisition to expand our current medical imaging portfolio in key areas including surgery, dental, cardiology and mammography, as well as non-destructive testing. With the addition of the CMOS technology to our imaging portfolio, customers will be able to choose between two complementary x-ray detector technologies to optimize their system performance and meet their specific application needs. We paid the shareholders of Dexela $26.1 million in cash for the stock of Dexela. We may pay additional contingent consideration of up to $12.2 million, with an estimated fair value of $4.6 million as of the closing date.

Acquisition of Remaining Interest in the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry Joint Venture.    In May 2010, we acquired the remaining fifty percent equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture and other related tangible assets from DH Technologies Development Pte Ltd., a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation (“Danaher”). We expect this acquisition will help support the continued success of the premier ICPMS product line by allowing us to direct development with a dedicated and consistent approach. The fair value of the acquisition was $67.7 million, including cash consideration of $35.0 million, non-cash consideration of $2.6 million for certain non-exclusive rights to intangible assets owned by us, and $30.4 million representing the fair value of our fifty percent equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture held prior to the acquisition. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $25.6 million from the re-measurement to fair value of our previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture. This pre-tax gain is reported in interest and other expense (income), net, for fiscal year 2010. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to us, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. We have reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of our Environmental Health segment from the acquisition date.
 
We do not consider the acquisitions completed during fiscal year 2011, with the exception of the Caliper acquisition, to be material to our consolidated results of operations; therefore, we are not presenting pro forma financial information of operations. The aggregate revenue for the acquisitions, with the exception of Caliper, completed during fiscal year 2011 for the period from their respective acquisition dates to January 1, 2012 was $32.4 million. We have also determined that the presentation of the results of operations for each of those acquisitions, from the date of acquisition, is impracticable due to the integration of the operations upon acquisition. Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocations. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair values for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, based on revenue thresholds or product development milestones achieved through given dates, with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings to the extent it is to be settled in cash. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these fair values, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of definite-lived intangible assets.
 
In connection with the purchase price and related allocations for acquisitions, we estimate the fair value of deferred revenue assumed with our acquisitions. The estimated fair value of deferred revenue is determined by the legal performance obligation at the date of acquisition, and is generally based on the nature of the activities to be performed and the related costs to be incurred after the acquisition date. The fair value of an assumed liability related to deferred revenue is estimated based on the current market cost of fulfilling the obligation, plus a normal profit margin thereon. The estimated costs to fulfill the deferred revenue are based on the historical direct costs related to providing the services. We do not include any costs associated with selling effort, research and development, or the related fulfillment margins on these costs. In most acquisitions, profit associated with selling effort is excluded because the acquired businesses would have concluded the selling effort on the support contracts prior to the acquisition date. The estimated research and development costs are not included in the fair value

38

determination, as these costs are not deemed to represent a legal obligation at the time of acquisition. The sum of the costs and operating income approximates, in theory, the amount that we would be required to pay a third-party to assume the obligation. As a result of purchase accounting, we recognized the deferred revenue related to the acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2011 at fair value and recorded a liability of $18.3 million, which represents a $64.4 million difference between the $82.7 million of deferred revenue that was recorded on the pre-acquisition balance sheets of the acquired businesses.
 
As of January 1, 2012, with the exception of the purchase price and related allocations for the Caliper acquisition, the purchase price and related allocations for acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the Caliper acquisition was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions underlying the preliminary valuation are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition dates). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, assets and liabilities related to income taxes and related valuation allowances, and residual goodwill. We expect to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. During the measurement period, we will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. Adjustments to the initial allocation of the purchase price during the measurement period require the revision of comparative prior period financial information when reissued in subsequent financial statements. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the allocation of the purchase price would be as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date. The effects of measurement period adjustments may cause changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income or expense recognized in prior periods. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings.

Contingencies, Including Tax Matters
We are conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at our current and former locations and, along with other companies, have been named a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for certain waste disposal sites. We accrue for environmental issues in the accounting period that our responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. We have accrued $6.7 million as of January 1, 2012, which represents our management’s estimate of the total cost of ultimate disposition of known environmental matters. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where we have been named a PRP, our management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. We expect that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had, or are expected to have, a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
 
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, “Enzo”) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. (the “New York Case”). The complaint alleges that we have breached our distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzo’s patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzo’s patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. Enzo seeks injunctive and monetary relief. In 2003, the court severed the lawsuit and ordered Enzo to serve individual complaints against the five defendants. We subsequently filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzo’s patents are invalid. In July 2006, the court issued a decision regarding the construction of the claims in Enzo’s patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, we believe, excludes certain of our products from the coverage of Enzo’s patents. Summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants in January 2007, and a hearing with oral argument on those motions took place in July 2007. In January 2009, the case was assigned to a new district court judge and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decides Enzo’s appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the “Connecticut Case”), which involves a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzo’s case against us. On March 26, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. The New York Case against us and other

39

defendants remains stayed except that the district court has permitted us and the other defendants to jointly file a motion for summary judgment on certain patent and other issues common to all of the defendants.
 
We believe we have meritorious defenses to the matter described above, and we are contesting the action vigorously. While this matter is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
 
We re-measured several of our uncertain tax positions related to fiscal years 2004 through 2010 during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 based on new information arising from events during the year that affected positions for those years. We also settled several income tax audits worldwide. The re-measurements and closure of audits included uncertain tax positions in Italy, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Philippines, and the federal and certain state governments within the United States. The net effect of these re-measurements and closure of audits, statute of limitations lapses, provision to return adjustments, interest expense accruals, as well as other discrete items, resulted in the recognition of $9.1 million of income tax benefits in continuing operations during fiscal year 2011, $11.9 million of income tax benefits in continuing operations during fiscal year 2010 and $1.6 million of income tax benefits in continuing operations during fiscal year 2009. Tax years ranging from 2001 through 2011 remain open to examination by various tax jurisdictions in which we have significant business operations, such as Singapore, Canada, Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. We regularly review our tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating our unrecognized tax benefits. We make adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in management’s judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position.
 
We are also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although we have established accruals for potential losses that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at January 1, 2012 should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to us.
 
Reporting Segment Results of Continuing Operations
Human Health
2011 Compared to 2010. Revenue for fiscal year 2011 were $887.2 million, as compared to $796.3 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $90.9 million, or 11%, which includes an approximate 6% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and an approximate 3% increase in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected revenue by product type for fiscal year 2011, as compared to fiscal year 2010, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The increase in revenue in our Human Health segment was primarily a result of an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $52.5 million and an increase in research market revenue of $38.4 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $3.3 million of revenue in our Human Health segment for fiscal year 2011 and $0.7 million for fiscal year 2010 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods. This increase in our Human Health segment revenue during fiscal year 2011 was due primarily to increased demand from the adoption of our neonatal and infectious disease screening offerings in the diagnostics market, increased growth for pre-clinical instruments and reagents in the research market, and continued growth from non-medical applications of our imaging technology in our medical imaging business. These increases were partially offset by the impact of lower birth rates in the United States and tight inventory management in state and national labs for neonatal screening in the diagnostics market, as well as reduced revenue to pharmaceutical companies resulting from continued customer consolidations in the pharmaceutical market and reduced demand for our legacy radioisotope portfolio in the research market.
 
Operating income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2011 was $99.3 million, as compared to $97.9 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $1.5 million, or 1%. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $53.9 million and $46.7 million for fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2010, respectively. Restructuring and contract termination charges were $6.2 million for fiscal year 2011 as a result of our Q2 2011 and Q4 2011 Plans, as compared to $10.4 million for fiscal year 2010 as a result of our Q2 2010 and Q4 2010 Plans. The impairment of intangible assets was a charge of $3.0 million for fiscal year 2011 for the full impairment of license agreements, that we no longer intend to use, relating to an acquisition in fiscal year 2006. The gain on the sale of a facility in Boston, Massachusetts that was damaged in a fire in March 2005 was $3.4 million for fiscal year 2010. Acquisition related costs for integration, contingent consideration and other acquisition costs related to certain acquisitions added an expense of $12.4 million for fiscal year 2011, as compared to an expense of $1.3 million for fiscal year 2010. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions was $4.1 million

40

for fiscal year 2011. In addition to the above, increased sales volume and cost containment and productivity initiatives increased operating income for fiscal year 2011, which was partially offset by changes in product mix with growth in sales of lower gross margin product offerings, increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, and costs related to acquisitions and growth investments in research and development.
 
2010 Compared to 2009. Revenue for fiscal year 2010 were $796.3 million, as compared to $731.6 million for fiscal year 2009, an increase of $64.7 million, or 9%, which includes an approximate 3% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and no net impact from changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected revenue by product type for fiscal year 2010, as compared to fiscal year 2009, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The increase in revenue in our Human Health segment was primarily a result of an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $54.5 million and an increase in research market revenue of $10.2 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $0.7 million of revenue in our Human Health segment for both fiscal years 2010 and 2009 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods. This increase in our Human Health segment revenue during fiscal year 2010 was due primarily to the increased demand for our medical imaging products in the diagnostics market, as well as increased growth in the academic sector for both instruments and reagents in the research market. The demand for our medical imaging products resulted from improved market conditions that eased the constraints on medical providers’ capital budgets allowing us to increase our customer base, including expanding into non-medical applications. These increases were partially offset by tight inventory management in state and national labs for neonatal screening in the diagnostics market, as well as customer consolidations in the pharmaceutical market and by the continued constrained capital spending within our pharmaceutical customers in the research market.
 
Operating income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2010 was $97.9 million, as compared to $80.2 million for fiscal year 2009, an increase of $17.7 million, or 22%. Amortization of intangible assets was $46.7 million and $41.3 million for fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2009, respectively. Restructuring and contract termination charges were $10.4 million for fiscal year 2010 as a result of our Q2 2010 and Q4 2010 Plans, as compared to $9.2 million for fiscal year 2009 as a result of our Q1 2009 and Q3 2009 Plans. The gain on the sale of a facility in Boston, Massachusetts that was damaged in a fire in March 2005 was $3.4 million for fiscal year 2010. Acquisition related costs for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs related to certain acquisitions added an expense of $1.3 million for each of the fiscal years 2010 and 2009. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions was $1.1 million for fiscal year 2009. In addition to the above, increased sales volume and cost containment initiatives increased operating income for fiscal year 2010, which was partially offset by changes in product mix with growth in sales in fiscal year 2010 primarily of lower gross margin product offerings, increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, and foreign exchange.
 
Environmental Health
2011 Compared to 2010. Revenue for fiscal year 2011 were $1,034.1 million, as compared to $908.0 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $126.1 million, or 14%, which includes an approximate 3% increase in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates and an approximate 2% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected revenue by product type for fiscal year 2011, as compared to fiscal year 2010, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The increase in revenue in our Environmental Health segment was primarily a result of increases in environmental and industrial markets revenue of $75.9 million, and an increase in laboratory services market revenue of $50.1 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $27.5 million of revenue primarily related to our informatics business in our Environmental Health segment for fiscal year 2011 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during that period. This increase in our Environmental Health segment revenue during the fiscal year 2011 was due primarily to growth in our environmental, food and consumer safety and testing products, as well as growth in our OneSource® multivendor service offering as our comprehensive services continue to grow with our key customers. We also experienced continued growth in industrial markets with the reduction of constraints on capital purchases primarily related to materials analysis, chemical processing and semi-conductor applications supported by our molecular spectroscopy and chromatography platforms.
 
Operating income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2011 was $99.3 million, as compared to $95.1 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $4.3 million, or 4%. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $26.1 million and $14.0 million for fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2010, respectively. Restructuring and contract termination charges were $7.3 million for fiscal year 2011 as a result of our Q2 2011 and Q4 2011 Plans, as compared to $8.5 million for fiscal year 2010 as a result of our Q2 2010 and Q4 2010 Plans. Acquisition related costs for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs related to certain acquisitions added income of $1.3 million for fiscal year 2011, as compared to an expense of $1.5 million for fiscal year 2010. In addition to the above, increased sales volume and cost containment and productivity initiatives increased

41

operating income for fiscal year 2011, which was partially offset by incremental costs primarily related to our informatics acquisitions, increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, and increased freight costs.
 
2010 Compared to 2009. Revenue for fiscal year 2010 were $908.0 million, as compared to $819.1 million for fiscal year 2009, an increase of $88.9 million, or 11%, which includes no net impact in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates or acquisitions. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected revenue by product type for fiscal year 2010, as compared to fiscal year 2009, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The increase in revenue in our Environmental Health segment was primarily a result of increases in environmental and industrial markets revenue of $47.5 million, and an increase in laboratory services market revenue of $41.4 million. This increase in our Environmental Health segment revenue during fiscal year 2010 was due primarily to the increase in our OneSource® multivendor service offering, which we expanded in markets beyond our traditional customer base and services, as well as growth in our environmental, food and consumer safety and testing products. We also experienced continued growth in traditional chemical markets with the reduction of constraints on capital purchases to rebuild capacity as a result of the cyclical recovery and increased demand after the extended period of delayed capital investment.
 
Operating income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2010 was $95.1 million, as compared to $76.4 million for fiscal year 2009, an increase of $18.7 million, or 25%. Amortization of intangible assets was $14.0 million and $12.8 million for fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2009, respectively. Restructuring and contract termination charges were $8.5 million for fiscal year 2010 as a result of our Q2 2010 and Q4 2010 Plans, as compared to $8.8 million for fiscal year 2009 as a result of our Q1 2009 and Q3 2009 Plans. Acquisition related costs for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs related to certain acquisitions added an expense of $1.5 million for fiscal year 2010, as compared to an expense of $0.3 million for fiscal year 2009. In addition to the above, increased sales volume and cost containment initiatives increased operating income for fiscal year 2010, which was partially offset by changes in product mix with growth in sales in fiscal year 2010 primarily of lower gross margin product offerings, increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, and foreign exchange.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We require cash to pay our operating expenses, make capital expenditures, make strategic acquisitions, service our debt and other long-term liabilities, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends on our common stock. Our principal sources of funds are from our operations and the capital markets, particularly the debt markets. We anticipate that our internal operations will generate sufficient cash to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures, smaller acquisitions, interest payments on our debt and dividends on our common stock. However, we expect to use external sources to satisfy the balance of our debt when due, any larger acquisitions and other long-term liabilities.
Principal factors that could affect the availability of our internally generated funds include:
•
changes in sales due to weakness in markets in which we sell our products and services, and
•
changes in our working capital requirements.
Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:
•
financial covenants contained in the financial instruments controlling our borrowings that limit our total borrowing capacity,
•
increases in interest rates applicable to our outstanding variable rate debt,
•
a ratings downgrade that could limit the amount we can borrow under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our overall access to the corporate debt market,
•
increases in interest rates or credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit, that affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis,
•
a decrease in the market price for our common stock, and
•
volatility in the public debt and equity markets.
 
Cash Flows
Fiscal Year 2011
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by continuing operations was $234.0 million for fiscal year 2011, as compared to net cash provided by continuing operations of $167.2 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $66.8 million. The cash provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2011 was principally a result of income from continuing operations of $1.2

42

million, depreciation and amortization of $110.9 million, stock based compensation expense of $15.5 million, restructuring and contract termination charges, net, of $13.5 million, and the expense related to our postretirement benefit plans, including the mark-to-market charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, of $75.0 million. These amounts were partially offset by a net increase in working capital of $24.6 million. Contributing to the net increase in working capital for fiscal year 2011, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, was an increase in accounts receivable of $20.6 million, an increase in inventory of $2.2 million, and a decrease in accounts payable of $1.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable was a result of higher sales volume during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. The increase in inventory overall was primarily a result of expanding the amount of inventory held at sales locations within our Environmental Health and Human Health segments to improve responsiveness to customer requirements and for the introduction of new products. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily a result of the timing of disbursements during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. Changes in accrued expenses, other assets and liabilities and other items, net, increased cash provided by operating activities by $42.6 million for fiscal year 2011, and primarily related to the timing of payments for tax, restructuring, and salary and benefits.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in the investing activities of our continuing operations was $942.1 million for fiscal year 2011, as compared to net cash used in the investing activities of our continuing operations of $174.1 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $768.0 million. For fiscal year 2011, we used $914.0 million of net cash for acquisitions, core technology purchases, acquired licenses and other costs in connection with these and other transactions. Capital expenditures for fiscal year 2011 were $30.6 million, primarily for capital equipment purchases. These cash outflows were partially offset by $0.5 million received during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 from the disposition of property, plant and equipment and $0.8 million from the settlement of life insurance policies. Restricted cash balances decreased for fiscal year 2011 by $1.3 million.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by the financing activities of our continuing operations was $399.1 million for fiscal year 2011, as compared to net cash used in the financing activities of our continuing operations of $215.5 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $614.6 million. For fiscal year 2011, we repurchased 4.0 million shares of our common stock, including 84,243 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $110.0 million, including commissions. This compares to repurchases of 3.0 million shares of our common stock, including 57,551 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $72.8 million, including commissions, for fiscal year 2010. This use of cash was offset by proceeds from common stock option exercises of $33.1 million, including $9.3 million for the related excess tax benefit, for fiscal year 2011. This compares to the proceeds from common stock option exercises of $31.4 million, including $2.4 million for the related excess tax benefit, for fiscal year 2010. During fiscal year 2011, debt borrowings from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaled $787.0 million and net proceeds of $496.9 million from the issuance of our ten-year senior unsecured notes at a rate of 5%, which was partially offset by debt reductions of $763.0 million. This compares to debt borrowings from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $368.0 million which was offset by debt reductions of $508.8 million during fiscal year 2010. We paid $31.8 million and $33.0 million in dividends during fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, we paid $10.5 million for debt issuance costs and we settled $0.1 million in contingent consideration recorded at the acquisition date fair value for acquisitions completed subsequent to fiscal year 2008 during both fiscal years 2011 and 2010.

Fiscal Year 2010
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by continuing operations was $167.2 million for fiscal year 2010, as compared to net cash provided by continuing operations of $127.8 million for fiscal year 2009, an increase of $39.4 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2010 was a result of income from continuing operations of $138.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $89.2 million, stock based compensation expense of $12.4 million, restructuring and contract termination charges, net of $19.0 million and the expense related to our postretirement benefit plans, including the mark-to-market charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, of $3.8 million. These amounts were partially offset by pre-tax gains of $28.9 million related to the required re-measurement to fair value of our previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture and asset dispositions, and a net increase in working capital of $32.8 million. Contributing to the net increase in working capital for fiscal year 2010, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, was an increase in accounts receivable of $38.1 million and an increase in inventory of $22.5 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $27.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable was a result of higher sales volume during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase in inventory overall was primarily a result of new products within our Environmental Health and Human Health segments to improve responsiveness to customer requirements. The increase in accounts payable was primarily a result of the timing of disbursements during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Changes in accrued expenses, other assets and liabilities and other items, net, decreased cash provided by operating activities by $34.3 million for fiscal year 2010, and primarily related to the timing of payments for tax, restructuring, and salary and benefits, and included the voluntarily contribution made during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 of $30.0 million to our defined benefit pension plan in the United States for the 2009 plan year.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in continuing operations investing activities was $174.1 million for fiscal year 2010, as compared to $126.0 million of net cash used in continuing operations investing activities for fiscal year 2009, an increase of $48.1 million. For fiscal year 2010, we used $145.6 million of net cash for acquisitions and core technology purchases and $4.8 million for earn-out payments, acquired licenses and other costs in connection with these and other transactions. In addition, as part of the ICPMS Joint Venture, we gave Danaher non-cash consideration of $2.6 million for certain non-exclusive rights to intangible assets we own. Capital expenditures for fiscal year 2010 were $33.6 million, primarily for capital equipment purchases. Restricted cash balances increased for fiscal year 2010 by $1.1 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by $11.0 million received during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 from the sale of a facility in Boston, Massachusetts that was damaged in a fire in March 2005.
 
Financing Activities. Net cash used in continuing operations financing activities was $215.5 million for fiscal year 2010, as compared to $4.0 million of net cash provided by continuing operations financing activities for fiscal year 2009, a decrease of $219.5 million. For fiscal year 2010, we repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock, including 57,551 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $72.8 million, including commissions. This compares to repurchases of approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock, including 28,890 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for fiscal year 2009, for a total cost of $14.6 million, including commissions. This use of cash was offset by proceeds from common stock option exercises of $31.4 million, including the related excess tax benefit, for fiscal year 2010. This compares to the proceeds from common stock option exercises of $6.5 million, including the related excess tax benefit, for fiscal year 2009. During fiscal year 2010, debt borrowings from our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaled $368.0 million, which was offset by debt reductions of $508.8 million. This compares to debt borrowings from our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $406.5 million, which was offset by debt reductions of $361.5 million during fiscal year 2009. We paid $33.0 million and $32.7 million in dividends during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, we settled $0.1 million in contingent consideration recorded at the acquisition date for acquisitions completed subsequent to fiscal year 2008 during fiscal year 2010.
 
Current Borrowing Arrangements
Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On December 16, 2011, we entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The agreement for the facility provides for $700.0 million of revolving loans and has an initial maturity of December 16, 2016, and amends and restates in its entirety the senior credit agreement dated as of August 13, 2007. As of January 1, 2012, undrawn letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $13.0 million are treated as issued and outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We use the senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and strategic alliances. The interest rates under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility are based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin, or the base rate from time to time. The base rate is the higher of (i) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its "prime rate," (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) one-month Libor plus 1.00%. The Eurocurrency margin as of January 1, 2012 was 130 basis points. The weighted average Eurocurrency interest rate as of January 1, 2012 was 0.28%, resulting in a weighted average effective Eurocurrency rate, including the margin, of 1.58%. We had $298.0 million of borrowings in U.S. Dollars outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of January 1, 2012, with interest based on the above described Eurocurrency rate. The credit agreement for the facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type and those contained in our previous senior revolving credit agreement. Our amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility includes two financial covenants of debt-to-capital ratios and a contingent multiple of total debt to earnings ratio, applicable if our credit rating is down-graded below investment grade. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of January 1, 2012.
 
6% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2015. On May 30, 2008, we issued $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes in a private placement and received $150.0 million of proceeds from the issuance. The 2015 Notes mature in May 2015 and bear interest at an annual rate of 6%. Interest on the 2015 Notes is payable semi-annually on May 30th and November 30th each year. We may redeem some or all of the 2015 Notes at any time, at our option, at a make-whole redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture governing the 2015 Notes includes financial covenants of debt-to-capital ratios and a contingent multiple of total debt to earnings ratio, applicable if our credit rating is down-graded below investment grade. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of January 1, 2012.
 
5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021. On October 25, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes in a registered public offering and received approximately $496.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance. The 2021 Notes were issued at 99.372% of the principal amount, which resulted in a discount of $3.1 million. The 2021 Notes mature in November 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 5%. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15th and November 15th each year. Prior to August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), we may redeem

44

the 2021 Notes in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect to the 2021 Notes being redeemed, discounted on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), we may redeem the 2021 Notes, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Notes ) and a contemporaneous downgrade of the 2021 Notes below investment grade, each holder of 2021 Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase such holder's 2021 Notes for 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of January 1, 2012.
 
Dividends
Our Board declared regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.07 per share in each quarter of fiscal years 2011 and 2010, resulting in an annual dividend rate of $0.28 per share. On January 27, 2012, we announced that our Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share that is payable in May 2012. In the future, our Board may reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.

____________________________
(1)
The credit facility borrowings carry variable interest rates; the amounts included in this table do not contemplate interest obligations.
(2)
As of January 1, 2012 the 2021 Notes had a carrying value of $496.9 million.
(3)
The amount includes accrued interest, net of tax benefits, and penalties. We have excluded $45.1 million, including accrued interest, net of tax benefits, and penalties, from the amount related to our uncertain tax positions as we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period of related future payments.
*    Purchase commitments are minimal and have been excluded from this table.
 
Capital Expenditures
During fiscal year 2012, we expect to invest an amount for capital expenditures similar to that in fiscal year 2011, primarily to introduce new products, to improve our operating processes, to shift the production capacity to lower cost locations, and to develop information technology. We expect to use our available cash and internally generated funds to fund these expenditures.
 
Other Potential Liquidity Considerations
At January 1, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $142.3 million and a senior unsecured revolving credit facility with $389.0 million available for additional borrowing.
 
Most of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed. As a result of the Caliper acquisition, we concluded that certain foreign operations did not require the same level of capital as previously expected, and therefore we plan to repatriate approximately $350.0 million of previously unremitted earnings and have provided for the estimated taxes on the repatriation of those earnings. As a result of the planned repatriation, we recorded an increase to our tax provision of $79.7 million in continuing operations. We expect to utilize tax attributes, primarily those acquired in the Caliper acquisition, to minimize the cash taxes paid on the repatriation. With the exception of $350.0 million we intend to repatriate over the next two

45

to three years related to the acquisition of Caliper, we expect accumulated non-U.S. cash balances will remain outside of the U.S. and that we will meet U.S. liquidity needs through future cash flows, use of U.S. cash balances, external borrowings, or some combination of these sources.
 
On October 23, 2008, we announced that our Board authorized us to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). On August 31, 2010, we announced that our Board had authorized us to repurchase an additional 5.0 million shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During fiscal year 2011, we repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $107.8 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. During fiscal year 2010, we repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $71.5 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. During fiscal year 2009, we repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $14.2 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. As of January 1, 2012, approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock remained available for repurchase from the 15.0 million shares authorized by our Board under the Repurchase Program.
 
Our Board has authorized us to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans. During fiscal year 2011, we repurchased 84,243 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $2.2 million. During fiscal year 2010, we repurchased 57,551 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $1.3 million. During fiscal year 2009, we repurchased 28,890 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $0.4 million.
 
The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with corporate programs. If we continue to repurchase shares, the repurchase program will be funded using our existing financial resources, including cash and cash equivalents, and our existing amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
 
Distressed global financial markets could adversely impact general economic conditions by reducing liquidity and credit availability, creating increased volatility in security prices, widening credit spreads and decreasing valuations of certain investments. The widening of credit spreads may create a less favorable environment for certain of our businesses and may affect the fair value of financial instruments that we issue or hold. Increases in credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit at rates we consider to be reasonable, could affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis, which may adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. In difficult global financial markets, we may be forced to fund our operations at a higher cost, or we may be unable to raise as much funding as we need to support our business activities.
 
We may be required to fund our U.S. pension plans with contributions of up to $16.0 million and our non-U.S. pension plans with contributions of up to $11.1 million by the end of fiscal year 2012, and we could potentially have to make additional funding payments in future periods for all pension plans. During fiscal year 2011, we made contributions of $11.5 million to our defined benefit pension plans outside the United States. During fiscal year 2010, we made a voluntary contribution of $30.0 million for the 2009 plan year to our defined benefit pension plan in the United States. During fiscal year 2010, we also made contributions of $15.2 million to our defined benefit pension plans outside the United States. We expect to use existing cash and external sources to satisfy future contributions to our pension plans.
 
Effects of Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective dates. Such recently issued and adopted pronouncements did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or do not apply to our operations.
 
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, warranty costs, bad debts, inventories, accounting for business combinations and dispositions, long-lived assets, income taxes, restructuring, pensions and other postretirement benefits, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may

46

differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue recognition. We record product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For products that include installation, if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, we recognize product revenue upon delivery, and we delay recognition of installation revenue until the installation is complete. For revenue that includes customer-specified acceptance criteria, we recognize revenue only after the acceptance criteria have been met. We defer revenue from services and recognize it over the contractual period, or as we render services.
 
In limited circumstances, we have arrangements that include multiple elements that are delivered at different points of time, such as revenue from products and services with a remaining service or storage component, such as cord blood processing and storage. For these arrangements, the revenue is allocated to each of the deliverables based upon their relative selling prices as determined by a selling-price hierarchy. A deliverable in an arrangement qualifies as a separate unit of accounting if the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. A delivered item that does not qualify as a separate unit of accounting is combined with the other undelivered items in the arrangement and revenue is recognized for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. The selling price used for each deliverable is based upon vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if such evidence is available, third-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, and management's best estimate of selling price ("BESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE are available. TPE is the price of our or any competitor's largely interchangeable products or services in stand-alone sales to similarly-situated customers. BESP is the price at which we would sell the deliverable if it were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis, considering market conditions and entity-specific factors.
 
Revenue from software licenses and services is 2% of our total revenue for fiscal year 2011, 1% of our total revenue for fiscal year 2010, and 2% of our total revenue for fiscal year 2009. We sell our software licenses with maintenance services and, in some cases, also with consulting services. For the undelivered elements, we determine VSOE of fair value to be the price charged when the undelivered element is sold separately. We determine VSOE for maintenance sold in connection with a software license based on the amount that will be separately charged for the maintenance renewal period. We determine VSOE for consulting services by reference to the amount charged for similar engagements when a software license sale is not involved.
 
We recognize revenue from software licenses sold together with maintenance and/or consulting services upon shipment using the residual method, provided that the above criteria have been met. If VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements cannot be established, we defer all revenue from the arrangement until the earlier of the point at which such sufficient VSOE does exist or all elements of the arrangement have been delivered, or if the only undelivered element is maintenance, then we recognize the entire fee ratably over the maintenance period.
 
The majority of our sales relate to specific manufactured products or units rather than long-term customized projects, therefore we generally do not experience significant changes in original estimates. Further, we have not experienced any significant refunds or promotional allowances that require significant estimation.
 
Warranty costs. We provide for estimated warranty costs for products at the time of their sale. Warranty liabilities are based on estimated future repair costs using historical labor and material incurred in the warranty period.
 
Allowances for doubtful accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We generally compute our allowance for doubtful accounts by (i) applying specific percentage reserves on accounts that are past due and deemed uncollectible; and (ii) specifically reserving for customers known to be in financial difficulty. Therefore, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate beyond our estimates, we may have to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts. This would reduce our earnings.
 
Inventory valuation. We initially value inventory at actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture. We periodically review these values to ascertain that market value of the inventory continues to exceed its recorded cost. Generally, reductions in value of inventory below cost are caused by our maintenance of stocks of products in excess of demand, or technological obsolescence of the inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and, when necessary, record provisions for excess and obsolete inventory based on either our estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements, or historical trailing usage of the product. If our sales do not materialize as planned or at historic levels, we may have to increase our reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. This would reduce our earnings. If actual market conditions are more favorable than anticipated, inventory previously written down may be sold, resulting in lower costs of sales and higher income from

47

operations than expected in that period.
 
Business combinations. Business combinations are accounted for at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses; previously held equity interests are valued at fair value upon the acquisition of a controlling interest; in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination are expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date affect income tax expense. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets.

Value of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles. We carry a variety of long-lived assets on our consolidated balance sheets including property and equipment, investments, identifiable intangible assets, and goodwill. We periodically review the carrying value of all of these assets based, in part, upon current estimated market values and our projections of anticipated future cash flows. We undertake this review (i) on an annual basis for assets such as goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets and (ii) on a periodic basis for other long-lived assets when facts and circumstances suggest that cash flows related to those assets may be diminished. Any impairment charge that we record reduces our earnings. The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process. The first step is the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The second step measures the amount of an impairment loss, and is only performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. We perform the annual impairment assessment on the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year. This same impairment test will be performed at other times during the course of the year should an event occur which suggests that the recoverability of goodwill should be reconsidered. Non-amortizing intangibles are also subject to an annual impairment test. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. In addition, we currently evaluate the remaining useful life of our non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If events or circumstances indicate that the useful lives of non-amortizing intangible assets are no longer indefinite, the assets will be tested for impairment. These intangible assets will then be amortized prospectively over their estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization. Through fiscal year 2011, we assessed the annual impairment testing for our reporting units: analytical sciences and laboratory services, diagnostics, life sciences technology and medical imaging. We completed the annual impairment test using a measurement date of January 3, 2011 and January 4, 2010, and concluded based on the first step of the process that there was no goodwill impairment. While we believe that our estimates of current value are reasonable, different assumptions regarding items such as future cash flows and the volatility inherent in markets which we serve could affect our evaluations and result in impairment charges against the carrying value of those assets.
 
Employee compensation and benefits. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 we changed our method of recognizing defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit costs. Historically we recognized the actuarial gains and losses as a component of stockholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheets. These gains and losses were amortized into results of operations over the average future service period of the active employees, to the extent such gains and losses were outside of a corridor. Additionally, for our principal U.S. defined benefit pension plan, we used a calculated value of plan assets reflecting changes in the fair value of plan assets over a five year period. Under our new method of accounting, we immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in operating results in the year in which the gains and losses occur. This change is intended to recognize the effects of current economic and interest rate trends on plan investments and assumptions as they occur. Actuarial gains and losses are measured annually as of fiscal year end and accordingly will be recorded in the fourth quarter, unless we are required to perform an interim remeasurement. Additionally, we now use actual fair value of plan assets for the principal U.S. defined benefit pension plan that had not previously utilized this method. Accordingly, the financial data for all periods presented has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of these accounting changes. We believe that the new policies are preferable as they eliminate the delay in the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, and changes to the fair value of plan assets.

Retirement and postretirement benefit plans are a significant cost of doing business, and represent obligations that will be ultimately settled far in the future, and therefore are subject to estimation. Retirement and postretirement benefit plan expenses are allocated to cost of revenue, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses, in our consolidated statements of operations. We incurred expenses of $75.0 million in fiscal year 2011, $3.8 million in fiscal year 2010 and $21.3 million in fiscal year 2009 for our retirement and postretirement benefit plans, which includes the charge for the mark-to-market adjustment for the postretirement benefit plans, which generally is recorded in the fourth quarter. The expense related to mark-to-market and curtailments on postretirement benefit plans was $67.9 million in fiscal year 2011, $0.2 million in fiscal year 2010 and $6.4 million in fiscal year 2009. We expect expenses of approximately $6.9 million in fiscal year 2012 for our retirement and postretirement benefit plans, excluding the charge for or benefit from the mark-to-market adjustment. It is difficult to reliably forecast or predict whether there will be a mark-to-market adjustment in fiscal year 2012, and if one is required, the amount of such an adjustment. Mark-to-market adjustments are primarily driven by events and circumstances beyond our control, including changes in interest rates and the performance of the financial markets. To the extent the discount rates decrease or the value of our pension and postretirement investments decrease, mark-to market charges to operations will be recorded in fiscal year 2012. Conversely, to the extent the discount rates increase or the value of our pension and postretirement investments increase, mark-to market income will be recorded in fiscal year 2012. Pension accounting is intended to reflect the recognition of future benefit costs over the employee’s approximate service period based on the terms of the plans and the investment and funding decisions made. We are required to make assumptions regarding such variables as the expected long-term rate of return on assets and the discount rate applied, to determine service cost and interest cost, in order to arrive at pension income or expense for the year.
 
As of January 1, 2012, we estimated the expected long-term rate of return on assets in our pension portfolios in the United States was 7.75% and was 5.40% for all plans outside the United States. In addition, as of January 1, 2012 we estimated the discount rate for our pension portfolios in the United States was 4.09% and was 4.91% for all plans outside the United States. We have analyzed the rates of return on assets used and determined that these rates are reasonable based on the plans’ historical performance relative to the overall markets in the countries where we invest the assets, as well as our current expectations for long-term rates of returns for our pension and other postretirement benefit assets. Our management will continue to assess the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumptions for each plan based on relevant market conditions, and will make adjustments to the assumptions as appropriate. Discount rate assumptions have been, and continue to be, based on the prevailing market long-term interest rates at the measurement date. If any of our assumptions were to change as of January 1, 2012, our pension plan expenses would also change.

We have reduced the volatility in our healthcare costs provided to our retirees by adopting a defined dollar plan feature in fiscal year 2001. Under the defined dollar plan feature, our total annual liability for healthcare costs to any one retiree is limited to a fixed dollar amount, regardless of the nature or cost of the healthcare needs of that retiree. Our maximum future liability, therefore, cannot be increased by future changes in the cost of healthcare.
 
Restructuring activities. Our consolidated financial statements detail specific charges relating to restructuring activities as well as the actual spending that has occurred against the resulting accruals. Our pre-tax restructuring charges are estimates based on our preliminary assessments of (i) severance benefits to be granted to employees, based on known benefit formulas and identified job grades, (ii) costs to abandon certain facilities based on known lease costs of sub-rental income and (iii) asset impairments as discussed above under “Value of long-lived assets, including intangibles.” Because these accruals are estimates, they are subject to change as a result of deviations from initial restructuring plans or subsequent information that may come to our attention. For example, actual severance costs may be less than anticipated if employees voluntarily leave prior to the time at which they would be entitled to severance, or if anticipated legal hurdles in foreign jurisdictions prove to be less onerous

49

than expected. In addition, unanticipated successes or difficulties in terminating leases and other contractual obligations may lead to changes in estimates. When such changes in estimates occur, they are reflected in our consolidated financial statements on our consolidated statements of operations line entitled “restructuring and contract termination charges, net.”
 
Gains or losses on dispositions. When we record the disposition of an asset or discontinuance of an operation, we make an estimate relative to the amount we expect to realize on the sale or disposition. This estimate is based on a variety of factors, including current interest in the market, alternative markets for the assets, and other relevant factors. If anticipated proceeds are less than the current carrying amount of the asset or operation, we record a loss. If anticipated proceeds are greater than the current carrying amount of the asset or operation, we recognize a gain net of expected contingencies when the transaction has been consummated. Accordingly, we may realize amounts different than were first estimated. During the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012, we recorded $0.1 million in pre-tax losses from disposition of fixed assets and $2.0 million in pre-tax gains from the disposition of discontinued operations. Any such changes decrease or increase current earnings.
 
Income taxes. Our business operations are global in nature, and we are subject to taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Tax laws and tax rates vary substantially in these jurisdictions, and are subject to change given the political and economic climate in those countries. We report and pay income tax based on operational results and applicable law. Our tax provision contemplates tax rates currently in effect to determine both our current and deferred tax provisions. Any significant fluctuation in rates or changes in tax laws could cause our estimates of taxes we anticipate either paying or recovering in the future to change. Such changes could lead to either increases or decreases in our effective tax rate.
 
Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related tax assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are operational decisions, transactions, facts and circumstances, and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is not certain. Furthermore, our tax positions are periodically subject to challenge by taxing authorities throughout the world. Every quarter we review our tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating our unrecognized tax benefits. Adjustments are made to our unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in our judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position. Any significant impact as a result of changes in underlying facts, law, tax rates, tax audit, or review could lead to adjustments to our income tax expense, our effective tax rate, or our cash flow.
 
Additionally, we have established valuation allowances against a variety of deferred tax assets, including state net operating loss carryforwards, state income tax credit carryforwards, and certain foreign tax attributes. Valuation allowances take into consideration our ability to use these deferred tax assets and reduce the value of such items to the amount that is deemed more likely than not to be recoverable. Improvements or other changes in our operations, domestically and internationally, could increase our ability to utilize these tax attributes in the future. The release of valuation allowances in periods when these tax attributes become realizable would reduce our effective tax rate.
 
Taxes have not been provided for unremitted earnings that we continue to consider indefinitely reinvested, the determination of which is based on our future operational and capital requirements. We continue to maintain our indefinite reinvestment assertion with regards to the remaining unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, and therefore do not accrue U.S. tax for the repatriation of the remaining unremitted foreign earnings. As of January 1, 2012, the amount of foreign earnings that we have the intent and ability to keep invested outside the U.S. indefinitely and for which no U.S. tax cost has been provided was approximately $330.0 million. It is not practical to calculate the unrecognized deferred tax liability on those earnings.

Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments, marketable securities and accounts receivable. We believe we had no significant concentrations of credit risk as of January 1, 2012.
 
We use derivative instruments as part of our risk management strategy only, and include derivatives utilized as economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments. By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. We enter into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and have policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading or other speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. Approximately 62% of our business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. Therefore, the fluctuations in foreign currency can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business.

50

 
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with our committed exposures to mitigate the effect of foreign currency movements on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Transactions covered by hedge contracts include intercompany and third-party receivables and payables. The contracts are primarily denominated in European and Asian currencies, have maturities that do not exceed 12 months, have no cash requirements until maturity, and are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on our foreign currency contracts are recognized immediately in earnings for hedges designated as fair value and, for hedges designated as cash flow, the related unrealized gains or losses are deferred as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which the underlying anticipated transaction occurs and impacts earnings. We did not have any outstanding cash flow hedges during fiscal years 2011 and 2010.
 
Principal hedged currencies include the British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), and Singapore Dollar (SGD). We held forward foreign exchange contracts with U.S. equivalent notional amounts totaling $268.9 million at January 1, 2012 and $107.3 million at January 2, 2011, and the approximate fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The duration of these contracts was generally 30 days or less during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.
 
In May 2008, we settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150 million upon the issuance of our 2015 Notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income. The derivative losses are being amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. As of January 1, 2012, the balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the effective cash flow hedges was $4.1 million, net of taxes of $2.7 million. We amortized $2.0 million into interest expense during each of the fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.
 
Market Risk
Market Risk. We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies to hedge against known or forecasted market exposures.
 
Foreign Exchange Risk. The potential change in foreign currency exchange rates offers a substantial risk to us, as approximately 62% of our business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. Our risk management strategy currently uses forward contracts to mitigate certain balance sheet foreign currency transaction exposures. The intent of these economic hedges is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures, with gains and losses resulting from the forward contracts that hedge these exposures. Moreover, we are able to partially mitigate the impact that fluctuations in currencies have on our net income as a result of our manufacturing facilities located in countries outside the United States, material sourcing and other spending which occur in countries outside the United States, resulting in natural hedges.
 
Although we attempt to manage our foreign currency exchange risk through the above activities, when the U.S. dollar weakens against other currencies in which we transact business, generally sales and net income will be positively but not proportionately impacted.
 
Foreign Currency Risk—Value-at-Risk Disclosure. We utilize a Value-at-Risk model to determine the potential earning/fair value exposures presented by our foreign currency related financial instruments. As discussed above, we seek to minimize this exposure through our hedging program. Our Value-at-Risk computation is based on the Monte Carlo simulation, utilizing a 95% confidence interval and a holding period of 30 days. As of January 1, 2012, this computation estimated that there is a 5% chance that the market value of the underlying exposures and the corresponding derivative instruments either increase or decrease due to foreign currency fluctuations by more than $0.4 million. This Value-At-Risk measure is consistent with our financial statement disclosures relative to our foreign currency hedging program. Specifically, during each of the four quarters ended in fiscal year 2011, the Value-At-Risk ranged between $0.4 million and $0.5 million, with an average of approximately $0.4 million.
 
Interest Rate Risk. As described above, our debt portfolio includes variable rate instruments. Fluctuations in interest rates can therefore have a direct impact on both our short-term cash flows, as they relate to interest, and our earnings. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we periodically enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies to hedge against known or forecasted interest rate exposures.
 

51

In May 2008, we settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150 million upon the issuance of our 2015 Notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income. The derivative losses are being amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. As of January 1, 2012, the balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the effective cash flow hedges was $4.1 million, net of taxes of $2.7 million. We amortized $2.0 million into interest expense during each of the fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.

Interest Rate Risk—Sensitivity. As of January 1, 2012, our debt portfolio consisted of $298.0 million of variable rate debt. In addition, our cash and cash equivalents, for which we receive interest at variable rates, were $142.3 million at January 1, 2012. Our current earnings exposure for changes in interest rates can be summarized as follows:
 
(i) Changes in interest rates can cause interest charges on our variable rate debt, consisting of $298.0 million of revolving debt facilities, to fluctuate. An increase of 10%, or approximately 16 basis points, in current interest rates would cause an additional pre-tax charge to our earnings of $0.5 million for fiscal year 2012.
 
(ii) Changes in interest rates can cause our cash flows relative to interest payments on variable rate debt to fluctuate. As described above, an increase of 10%, or approximately 16 basis points, in current interest rates would cause our cash outflows to increase by $0.5 million for fiscal year 2012.
 
(iii) Changes in interest rates can cause our interest income and cash flows to fluctuate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PerkinElmer, Inc.
Waltham, Massachusetts
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PerkinElmer, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PerkinElmer, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to change its methods of accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plan costs in 2011. Such changes are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011, and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 2012. Also, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the presentation of comprehensive income to reflect the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2011-5, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) as amended.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1:
Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies
 
Nature of Operations:    PerkinElmer, Inc. is a leading provider of technology, services and solutions to the diagnostics, research, environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets. Through its technologies, applications and services critical issues are addressed that help to improve the health and safety of people and their environment. The results are reported within two reporting segments: Human Health and Environmental Health.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PerkinElmer, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company has two operating segments; Human Health and Environmental Health. The Company’s Human Health segment concentrates on developing diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect diseases earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. Within the Human Health segment, the Company serves both the diagnostics and research markets. The Company’s Environmental Health segment provides technologies and applications to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. The Environmental Health segment serves the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets.
 
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. The Company reports fiscal years under a 52/53 week format. Under this method, certain years will contain 53 weeks. The fiscal year ended January 1, 2012 included 52 weeks. The fiscal years ended January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010 included 52 weeks and 53 weeks, respectively. The fiscal year ending December 30, 2012 will include 52 weeks.
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from January 1, 2012 through the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements and has determined that no material subsequent events have occurred that would affect the information presented in these consolidated financial statements or require additional disclosure.
 
Accounting Policies and Estimates:    The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition:    The Company’s product revenue is recorded when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For products that include installation, and if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. For revenue that includes customer-specified acceptance criteria, revenue is recognized after the acceptance criteria have been met. Certain of the Company’s products require specialized installation. Revenue for these products is deferred until installation is completed. Revenue from services is deferred and recognized over the contractual period, or as services are rendered.

In limited circumstances, the Company has arrangements that include multiple elements that are delivered at different points of time, such as revenue from products and services with a remaining service or storage component, such as cord blood processing and storage. For these arrangements, the revenue is allocated to each of the deliverables based upon their relative selling prices as determined by a selling-price hierarchy. A deliverable in an arrangement qualifies as a separate unit of accounting if the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. A delivered item that does not qualify as a separate unit of accounting is combined with the other undelivered items in the arrangement and revenue is recognized for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. The selling price used for each deliverable is based upon vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if such evidence is available, third-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, and management's best estimate of selling price ("BESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE are available. TPE is the price of the Company's or any competitor's largely interchangeable products or services in stand-alone sales to similarly-situated customers. BESP is the price at which the Company would sell the deliverable if it were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis, considering market conditions and entity-specific factors.
 
Revenue from software licenses and services is 2% of the Company's total revenue for fiscal year 2011, 1% of the Company's total revenue for fiscal year 2010, and 2% of the Company's total revenue for fiscal year 2009. The Company sells its software licenses with maintenance services and, in some cases, also with consulting services. For the undelivered elements, the Company determines VSOE of fair value to be the price charged when the undelivered element is sold separately. The

60
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


Company determines VSOE for maintenance sold in connection with a software license based on the amount that will be separately charged for the maintenance renewal period. The Company determines VSOE for consulting services by reference to the amount charged for similar engagements when a software license sale is not involved.
 
The Company recognizes revenue from software licenses sold together with maintenance and/or consulting services upon shipment using the residual method, provided that the above criteria have been met. If VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements cannot be established, the Company defers all revenue from the arrangement until the earlier of the point at which such sufficient VSOE does exist or all elements of the arrangement have been delivered, or if the only undelivered element is maintenance, then the Company recognizes the entire fee ratably over the maintenance period.
 
The Company sells products and accessories predominantly through its direct sales force. As a result, the use of distributors is generally limited to geographic regions where the Company has no direct sales force. The Company does not offer product return or exchange rights (other than those relating to defective goods under warranty) or price protection allowances to its customers, including its distributors. Payment terms granted to distributors are the same as those granted to end-user customers and payments are not dependent upon the distributors’ receipt of payment from their end-user customers. Sales incentives related to distributor revenue are also the same as those for end-user customers.

Service revenues represent the Company’s service offerings including service contracts, field service including related time and materials, diagnostic testing, cord blood processing and storage, and training. Service revenues are recognized as the service is performed. Revenues for service and storage contracts are recognized over the contract period.

Immaterial Restatement:    Beginning with the Company's results for the year ended January 1, 2012 and for all periods included herein, the Company has separately reported product revenue, service revenue, and the related cost of product revenue and cost of service revenue. Prior to fiscal year 2011, the Company had reported revenue and cost of revenue as single line items and had not broken out product and service revenue and related cost of revenue separately. Accordingly, the Company has restated previously reported revenue and cost of revenue for the fiscal years ending January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010.

Warranty Costs:    The Company provides for estimated warranty costs for products at the time of their sale. Warranty liabilities are based on estimated future repair costs using historical labor and material costs incurred in the warranty period.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs:    The Company reports shipping and handling revenue in revenue, to the extent they are billed to customers, and costs in cost of product revenue.
 
Inventories:    Inventories, which include material, labor and manufacturing overhead, are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories are accounted for using the first-in, first-out method of determining inventory costs. Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed, and where necessary, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements.
 
Income Taxes:    The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established for any deferred tax asset for which realization is not more likely than not. With respect to earnings expected to be indefinitely reinvested offshore, the Company does not accrue tax for the repatriation of such foreign earnings.
 
The Company provides reserves for potential payments of tax to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions and other issues. These reserves are based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is more likely than not to be realized following resolution of any potential contingencies present related to the tax benefit. Potential interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions is recorded as a component of income tax expense. See Note 6, below, for additional details.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment:    The Company depreciates plant and equipment using the straight-line method over its estimated useful lives, which generally fall within the following ranges: buildings—10 to 40 years; leasehold improvements—estimated useful life or remaining term of lease, whichever is shorter; machinery and equipment—3 to 7 years. Certain tooling costs are capitalized and amortized over a 3-year life, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed.


61
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


Asset Retirement Obligations:    The Company records obligations associated with its lease obligations, the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset-retirement costs in accordance with authoritative guidance on asset retirement obligations. The Company reviews legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from contractual obligations or the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. If it is determined that a legal obligation exists, regardless of whether the obligation is conditional on a future event, the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The difference between the gross expected future cash flow and its present value is accreted over the life of the related lease as an operating expense. The amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements are not material to any year presented.
 
Change in Accounting for Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits:    During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 the Company changed its method of recognizing defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit costs. Historically the Company recognized the actuarial gains and losses as a component of stockholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheets. These gains and losses were amortized into results of operations over the average future service period of the active employees, to the extent such gains and losses were outside of a corridor. Additionally, for the Company's principal U.S. defined benefit pension plan, the Company used a calculated value of plan assets reflecting changes in the fair value of plan assets over a five year period. Under the Company's new method of accounting, the Company immediately recognizes actuarial gains and losses in operating results in the year in which the gains and losses occur. This change is intended to recognize the effects of current economic and interest rate trends on plan investments and assumptions as they occur. Actuarial gains and losses are measured annually as of fiscal year end and accordingly will be recorded in the fourth quarter, unless the Company is required to perform an interim remeasurement. Additionally, the Company now uses actual fair value of plan assets for the principal U.S. defined benefit pension plan that had not previously utilized this method. Accordingly, the financial data for all periods presented has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of these accounting changes. The Company believes that the new policies are preferable as they eliminate the delay in the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, and changes to the fair value of plan assets.
 
The cumulative effect of the change on retained earnings as of December 28, 2008 was a decrease of approximately $108.5 million, with offsetting adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income and inventory. The significant effects of the change in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheets, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented were as follows:

____________________________
(1) 
In conjunction with the retrospective application of the Company's changes in accounting methods related to pension and other postretirement benefit costs, the Company has reclassified pension and other postretirement benefit expense into a separate line item within operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Previously this expense had been included within accrued expenses and other on the statement of cash flows.

The Company’s funding policy provides that payments to the U.S. pension trusts shall at least be equal to the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Non-U.S. plans are accrued for, but generally not fully funded, and benefits are paid from operating funds.

Translation of Foreign Currencies:    For foreign operations, asset and liability accounts are translated at current exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using weighted average exchange rates for the reporting period. Resulting translation adjustments, as well as translation gains and losses from certain intercompany transactions considered permanent in nature, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from transactions and translation of period-end balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are included in earnings.

Business Combinations:    Business combinations are accounted for at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses; previously held equity interests are valued at fair value upon the acquisition of a controlling interest; in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is recorded at fair value as an intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination are expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date affect income tax expense. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets and liabilities acquired. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:    The Company’s intangible assets consist of (i) goodwill, which is not being amortized; (ii) indefinite lived intangibles, which consist of certain trademarks and trade names that are not subject to amortization; and (iii) amortizing intangibles, which consist of patents, customer relationships, and purchased technologies, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives.
 
The process of testing goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the applicable reporting units. The test consists of a two-step process. The first step is the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The second step measures the amount of an impairment loss, and is only performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. This annual impairment assessment is performed by the Company on the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year. This same impairment test will be performed at other times during the course of the year, should an event occur which suggests that the recoverability of goodwill should be reconsidered. Non-amortizing intangibles are also subject to an annual impairment test. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the non-amortizing intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a non-amortizing intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. In addition, the Company evaluates the remaining useful life of its non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If events or circumstances indicate that the useful lives of non-amortizing intangible assets are no longer indefinite, the assets will be tested for impairment. These intangible assets will then be amortized prospectively over their estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization. Recoverability of amortizing intangible assets is assessed only when events have occurred that may give rise to an impairment. When a potential impairment has been identified, forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operations to which the asset relates are compared to the current carrying value of the long-lived assets present in that operation. If such cash flows are less than such carrying amounts, long-lived assets, including such intangibles, are written down to their respective fair values. See Note 12, below, for additional details.
 
Stock-Based Compensation:    The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value, generally using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, as expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The determination of fair value and the timing of expense using option pricing models such as the Black-Scholes model require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected forfeiture rate, life of the option and the expected price volatility of the underlying stock. The Company estimates the expected forfeiture and expected life assumptions based on historical experience. In determining the Company’s expected stock price volatility assumption, the Company reviews both the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s common stock, with implied volatility based on the implied volatility of publicly traded options on the Company’s common stock. Beginning in fiscal year 2009, the Company has one stock-based compensation plan from which it makes grants, which is described more fully in Note 18, below.
 
Marketable Securities and Investments:    The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. If securities are classified as available for sale, the Company records these investments at their fair values with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Under the cost method of accounting, equity investments in private companies are carried at cost and are adjusted for other-than-temporary declines in fair value, additional investments or distributions.

Cash Flows:    For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid unrestricted instruments with a purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


Environmental Matters:    The Company accrues for costs associated with the remediation of environmental pollution when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the Company’s proportionate share of the amount can be reasonably estimated. The recorded liabilities have not been discounted.
 
Research and Development:    Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The fair value of acquired IPR&D costs is recorded at fair value as an intangible asset at the acquisition date and amortized once the product is ready for sale or expensed if abandoned.
 
Restructuring Charges:    In recent fiscal years, the Company has undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the alignment with the Company’s growth strategy, the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and the integration of its business units. In connection with these initiatives, the Company has recorded restructuring charges, as more fully described in Note 4, below. Generally, costs associated with an exit or disposal activity are recognized when the liability is incurred. Costs related to employee separation arrangements requiring future service beyond a specified minimum retention period are recognized over the service period.
 
Comprehensive Income:    In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Standards Update 2011-5, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) as amended, requiring amendments to disclosure for presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance, effective retrospectively for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is permitted), requires presentation of total 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 December 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to this guidance which indefinitely defers the requirement to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company early adopted the amended guidance requiring presentation of comprehensive income in two consecutive financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012. The implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
Comprehensive income is defined as net income or loss and other changes in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events from sources other than stockholders. Comprehensive income is reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
 
Derivative Instruments and Hedging:    Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.
 
For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income and subsequently amortized into net earnings when the hedged exposure affects net earnings. Cash flow hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of each hedge by matching the terms of the contract to the underlying transaction. The Company classifies the cash flows from hedging transactions in the same categories as the cash flows from the respective hedged items. Once established, cash flow hedges are generally recorded in other comprehensive income, unless an anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, and subsequently amortized into net earnings when the hedged exposure affects net earnings. Discontinued or dedesignated cash flow hedges are immediately settled with counterparties, and the related accumulated derivative gains or losses are recognized into net earnings on the consolidated financial statements. Settled cash flow hedges related to forecasted transactions that remain probable are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and are subsequently amortized into net earnings when the hedged exposure affects net earnings. Forward contract effectiveness for cash flow hedges is calculated by comparing the fair value of the contract to the change in value of the anticipated transaction using forward rates on a monthly basis. There were no cash flow hedges outstanding as of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011. The Company also has entered into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. These contracts are recorded at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized into net earnings on the consolidated financial statements.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:    From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective dates. Such recently issued and adopted pronouncements did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or do not apply to the Company’s operations.

Business Combinations and Asset Purchases
 
Acquisition of Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. In November 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. (“Caliper”). Caliper is a provider of imaging and detection solutions for life sciences research, diagnostics and environmental markets. Caliper develops and sells integrated systems, consisting of instruments, software, reagents, laboratory automation tools, and assay development and discovery services, primarily to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostics companies, and government and other not-for-profit research institutions. The Company expects this acquisition to enhance its molecular imaging and detection technologies and to complement its offerings in life science, diagnostics, environmental and food markets.

The unaudited pro forma information for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 have been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and the impact of acquisition date fair value adjustments. The fiscal year 2011 unaudited pro forma net loss from continuing operations was adjusted to exclude approximately $18.1 million of acquisition-related transaction costs. In addition, the fiscal year 2011 unaudited pro forma net loss from continuing operations was adjusted to exclude nonrecurring expenses related to the fair value adjustments associated with the acquisition of Caliper that were recorded by the Company related to the completion of this acquisition. The fiscal year 2010 pro forma net income from continuing operations was adjusted to include these acquisition-related transaction costs and the nonrecurring expenses related to the fair value adjustments. These pro forma condensed consolidated financial results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as fair value adjustment to inventory and deferred revenue, increased interest expense on debt obtained to finance the transaction, and increased amortization for the fair value of acquired intangible assets. The pro forma information does not reflect the effect of costs or synergies that would have been expected to result from the integration of the acquisition. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the combination occurred at the beginning of each period presented, or of future results of the consolidated entities.

The Company has reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Company’s Human Health segment from the acquisition date.
 
Acquisition of Remaining Interest in the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry Joint Venture.    In May 2010, the Company acquired the remaining fifty percent equity interest in the Company’s joint venture (the “ICPMS Joint Venture”) with the company previously known as MDS, Inc. for the development and manufacturing of its Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (“ICPMS”) product line and other related tangible assets from DH Technologies Development Pte Ltd., a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation (“Danaher”). The Company expects this acquisition will help support the continued success of the premier ICPMS product line by allowing the Company to direct development with a dedicated and consistent approach. The fair value of the acquisition was $67.7 million, including cash consideration of $35.0 million, non-cash consideration of $2.6 million for certain non-exclusive rights to intangible assets owned by the Company, and $30.4 million representing the fair value of the Company’s fifty percent equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture held prior to the acquisition. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $25.6 million from the re-measurement to fair value of the Company’s previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture. This pre-tax gain is reported in interest and other expense (income), net, for fiscal year 2010. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. The Company has reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Company’s Environmental Health segment from the acquisition date.
 
The Company does not consider the acquisitions completed during fiscal year 2011, with the exception of the Caliper acquisition, to be material to its consolidated results of operations; therefore the Company is not presenting pro forma financial information of operations. The aggregate revenue for the acquisitions, with the exception of Caliper, completed during fiscal year 2011 for the period from their respective acquisition dates to January 1, 2012 was $32.4 million. The Company has also determined that the presentation of the results of operations for each of those acquisitions, from the date of acquisition, is impracticable due to the integration of the operations upon acquisition. Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocations. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair values for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, based on revenue thresholds or product development milestones achieved through given dates, with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings to the extent it is to be settled in cash. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these fair values, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of definite-lived intangible assets.
 
In connection with the purchase price and related allocations for acquisitions, the Company estimates the fair value of deferred revenue assumed with its acquisitions. The estimated fair value of deferred revenue is determined by the legal performance obligation at the date of acquisition, and is generally based on the nature of the activities to be performed and the related costs to be incurred after the acquisition date. The fair value of an assumed liability related to deferred revenue is estimated based on the current market cost of fulfilling the obligation, plus a normal profit margin thereon. The estimated costs

69
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


to fulfill the deferred revenue are based on the historical direct costs related to providing the services. The Company does not include any costs associated with selling effort, research and development, or the related fulfillment margins on these costs. In most acquisitions, profit associated with selling effort is excluded because the acquired businesses would have concluded the selling effort on the support contracts prior to the acquisition date. The estimated research and development costs are not included in the fair value determination, as these costs are not deemed to represent a legal obligation at the time of acquisition. The sum of the costs and operating income approximates, in theory, the amount that the Company would be required to pay a third-party to assume the obligation. As a result of purchase accounting, the Company recognized the deferred revenue related to the acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2011 at fair value and recorded a liability of $18.3 million.
 
As of January 1, 2012, with the exception of the purchase price and related allocations for the Caliper acquisition, the purchase price and related allocations for acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the Caliper acquisition was based upon a preliminary valuation and the Company's estimates and assumptions underlying the preliminary valuation are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition dates). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, assets and liabilities related to income taxes and related valuation allowances, and residual goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. During the measurement period, the Company will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. Adjustments to the initial allocation of the purchase price during the measurement period require the revision of comparative prior period financial information when reissued in subsequent financial statements. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the allocation of the purchase price would be as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date. The effects of measurement period adjustments may cause changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income or expense recognized in prior periods. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings.

Identifiable definite-lived intangible assets, such as customer relationships, core technology, IPR&D, licenses, and trade names, acquired as part of the acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2011 and 2010 had weighted average amortization periods between 7.0 years and 11.0 years.
 
The fair values of stock options assumed were estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair values of unvested stock options as they relate to post-combination services will be recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses over the remaining service periods, while the fair values of vested stock options as they relate to pre-combination services are included in the purchase price of the acquired entity.
 
Total transaction costs related to acquisition activities for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 were $10.7 million, $2.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, which were expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
 
Note 3:
Discontinued Operations
 
As part of the Company’s continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, the Company has discontinued certain businesses. The Company has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations and, accordingly, has presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of these businesses have been presented separately, and are reflected within the assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011.

In November 2010, the Company sold its Illumination and Detection Solutions (“IDS”) business, which was included in the Company’s Environmental Health segment, for $510.3 million including an adjustment for net working capital. The Company expects the divestiture of its IDS business to reduce the complexity of its product offerings and organizational structure, and to provide capital to reinvest in other Human Health and Environmental Health end markets. The buyer acquired the Company’s IDS business through the purchase of all outstanding stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Germany, Canada, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States as well as the purchase of related assets and the assumption of liabilities held by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries located in Singapore and Germany. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $315.3 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale of its IDS business. During fiscal year 2011, the Company finalized the net working capital adjustment associated with the sale of this business and other potential contingencies, which resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax loss of $1.8 million. These gains and losses were recognized as gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations.
 
As part of the Company’s strategic business alignment into the Human Health and Environmental Health segments, completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, and the Company’s continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, in December 2008, the Company’s management approved a plan to divest its Photoflash business within the Environmental Health segment. In June 2010, the Company sold the Photoflash business for $13.5 million, including an adjustment for net working capital, plus potential additional contingent consideration. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $4.4 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale. This gain was recognized as a gain on disposition of discontinued operations.
 
During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company settled various matters related to the divestiture of other discontinued operations and recognized a pre-tax gain of $3.9 million in fiscal year 2011, a pre-tax loss of $1.8 million in fiscal year 2010 and a pre-tax loss of $3.0 million in fiscal year 2009. During fiscal year 2011, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $4.0 million for contingent consideration related to the sale of its semiconductor business in fiscal year 2006. During fiscal year 2009, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million for a settlement with the landlord of a closed facility.

The Company recognized a tax benefit of $4.5 million on discontinued operations in fiscal year 2011, a tax provision of $96.6 million on discontinued operations in fiscal year 2010 and a tax provision of $3.3 million in fiscal year 2009 on discontinued operations. The recognition of $4.5 million income tax benefit in fiscal year 2011 is primarily the net result of a change in estimate related to the federal income tax liability associated with the repatriation of the unremitted earnings of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, as further described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, offset by the tax provision on the contingent consideration received in fiscal year 2011 related to the sale of the Company's semiconductor business in fiscal year 2006. The recognition of $96.6 million income tax expense in fiscal year 2010 includes $16.0 million of

income tax expense associated with unremitted earnings of directly-owned foreign subsidiaries that no longer qualified as indefinitely reinvested once the subsidiary was held for sale, and $65.8 million related to the federal income tax liability associated with the repatriation of the unremitted earnings of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, as further described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Note 4:
Restructuring and Contract Termination Charges, Net
 
The Company has undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, alignment with the Company’s growth strategy and the integration of its business units. The current portion of restructuring and contract termination charges, net is recorded in accrued restructuring, and the long-term portion of restructuring and contract termination charges, net is recorded in long-term liabilities.
 
The restructuring plans in the fourth quarter and second quarter of fiscal year 2011 and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 were intended principally to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets. The restructuring plan for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was intended principally to reduce resources in response to the continued economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets and to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets. The activities associated with these plans have been reported as restructuring expenses and are included as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations.
 
A description of the restructuring plans and the activity recorded are as follows:

Q4 2011 Restructuring Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company’s management approved a plan to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (the “Q4 2011 Plan”).

The Company also recognized a $4.7 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. As part of the Q4 2011 Plan, the Company reduced headcount by 114 employees. All employee notifications and actions related to the closure of excess facility space for the Q4 2011 Plan were completed by January 1, 2012.

Q2 2010 Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company’s management approved a plan to reduce resources in response to the continued economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets and to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (the “Q2 2010 Plan”).

Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from fiscal years 2001 through 2009 were workforce reductions related to the integration of the Company’s businesses in order to reduce costs and achieve operational efficiencies as well as workforce reductions in both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments by shifting resources into geographic regions and product lines that are more consistent with the Company’s growth strategy. During fiscal year 2011, the Company paid $1.1 million related to these plans, recorded a reversal of $1.2 million related to lower than expected costs associated with workforce reductions in Europe within both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments, and recorded a charge of $0.4 million to reduce the estimated sublease rental payments reasonably expected to be obtained for an excess facility in Europe within the Environmental Health segment. In addition, as part of the Caliper acquisition the Company acquired its remaining restructuring accrual for the closure of an excess facility with a fair value of $3.8 million at the acquisition date. As of January 1, 2012, the Company had approximately $8.3 million of remaining liabilities associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily for residual lease obligations related to closed facilities in both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments. Payments for these leases, the terms of which vary in length, will be made through fiscal year 2022.
 
Contract Termination Charges
The Company has terminated various contractual commitments in connection with various disposal activities for costs to terminate contracts before the end of the terms and costs that will continue to be incurred under various contracts for the remaining terms without economic benefit to the Company. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $2.0 million in fiscal year 2011, a pre-tax charge of $0.1 million in fiscal year 2010 and a pre-tax charge of $0.9 million in fiscal year 2009 for the termination of these contractual commitments. The Company was required to make payments for these obligations of $0.4 million during fiscal year 2011, $1.7 million during fiscal year 2010, and $1.1 million during fiscal year 2009. The remaining balance of these accruals as of January 1, 2012 was $2.1 million.

The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. At January 1, 2012, the Company had accrued approximately $6.7 million and $6.3 million in interest and penalties, respectively. During fiscal year 2011, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million in interest and zero in penalties in its total tax provision. During fiscal year 2010, the Company recognized approximately $0.8 million in interest and $0.9 million in penalties in its total tax provision. At January 1, 2012, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $50.2 million ($6.4 million included in current liabilities and $43.8 million included in long-term liabilities), of which $44.9 million, if recognized, would affect the continuing operations effective tax rate. The remaining amount, if recognized, would affect discontinued operations.

At January 1, 2012, the Company had uncertain tax positions of $9.8 million, including accrued interest, net of tax benefits, and penalties, which are expected to be resolved within the next year. A portion of the uncertain tax positions could affect the continuing operations effective tax rate depending on the ultimate resolution; however, the Company cannot quantify an estimated range at this time. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions.
 
The Company re-measured several of its uncertain tax positions related to fiscal years 2004 through 2010 during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 based on new information arising from events during the year that affected positions for those years. The Company also settled several income tax audits worldwide. The re-measurements and closure of audits included uncertain tax positions in Italy, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Philippines, and the federal and certain state governments within the United States. The net effect of these re-measurements and closure of audits, statute of limitations lapses, provision to return adjustments, interest expense accruals, as well as other discrete items, resulted in the recognition of $9.1 million of income tax benefits in continuing operations during fiscal year 2011, $11.9 million of income tax benefits in continuing operations during fiscal year 2010 and $1.6 million of income tax benefits in continuing operations during fiscal

At January 1, 2012, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $390.0 million, foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $176.6 million, state tax credit carryforwards of $9.6 million, general business tax credit carryforwards of $14.7 million, and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $7.9 million. These are subject to expiration in years ranging from 2012 to 2031, and without expiration for certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards and certain state credit carryforwards. At January 1, 2012, the Company also had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $260.0 million and federal credit carryforwards of approximately $12.6 million as a result of acquisitions made during fiscal years 2007 through 2011. The Company acquired estimated utilizable U.S. federal loss carryforwards of $232.0 million as a result of the Caliper acquisition during fiscal year 2011. The utilization of these losses and credits is subject to annual limitations based on Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. These federal losses and credits will expire in fiscal years 2012 through 2030.
 
Valuation allowances take into consideration limitations imposed upon the use of the tax attributes and reduce the value of such items to the likely net realizable amount. Valuation allowances have been provided on state net operating loss and state tax credit carryforwards and on certain foreign tax attributes that the Company has determined are not more likely than not to be realized. Additionally, approximately $10.0 million of valuation allowances were provided on acquired tax attributes in connection with business combinations occurring in fiscal year 2011.

As a result of the sale of the IDS and Photoflash businesses in fiscal year 2010, the Company concluded that the remaining operations within those foreign subsidiaries previously containing IDS and Photoflash operations did not require the same level of capital as previously required, and therefore the Company planned to repatriate approximately $250.0 million of previously unremitted earnings and provided for the estimated taxes on the repatriation of those earnings. The impact of this tax provision in fiscal year 2010 was an increase to the Company’s tax provision of $65.8 million in discontinued operations. The Company utilized existing tax attributes to repatriate these earnings and minimize the cash taxes paid on the repatriation. As of January 1, 2012, the Company had completed the repatriation of the previously unremitted earnings of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, and reduced its estimated tax liability associated with the repatriation by approximately $6.7 million. This change in estimate was recorded as a credit to discontinued operations during fiscal year 2011.
 
As a result of the Caliper acquisition, the Company concluded that certain foreign operations did not require the same level of capital as previously expected, and therefore the Company plans to repatriate approximately $350.0 million of previously unremitted earnings and has provided for the estimated taxes on the repatriation of those earnings. As a result of the planned repatriation, the Company recorded an increase to the Company’s tax provision of $79.7 million in continuing operations in fiscal year 2011. The Company expects to utilize tax attributes, primarily those acquired in the Caliper acquisition, to minimize the cash taxes paid on the repatriation.
 
Taxes have not been provided for unremitted earnings that the Company continues to consider indefinitely reinvested, the determination of which is based on its future operational and capital requirements. The Company continues to maintain its indefinite reinvestment assertion with regards to the remaining unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, and therefore does not accrue U.S. tax for the repatriation of its remaining unremitted foreign earnings. As of January 1, 2012, the amount of foreign earnings that the Company has the intent and ability to keep invested outside the U.S. indefinitely and for which no U.S. tax cost has been provided was approximately $330.0 million. It is not practical to calculate the unrecognized deferred tax liability on those earnings.

Note 7:
Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less restricted unvested shares. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, primarily shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles the number of shares utilized in the earnings per share calculations for the fiscal years ended:

Note 12:
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
 
The Company tests goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually for possible impairment. Accordingly, the Company completes the annual testing of impairment for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets on the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year. In addition to its annual test, the Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a potential impairment of goodwill or non-amortizing intangible assets.
 
The process of testing goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the applicable reporting units. The test consists of a two-step process. The first step is the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The second step measures the amount of an impairment loss, and is only performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performed its annual impairment testing for its reporting units as of January 3, 2011, its annual impairment date for fiscal year 2011, and concluded based on the first step of the process that there was no goodwill impairment.
 
The Company has consistently employed the income approach to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of goodwill. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the income approach to forecast operating cash flows, including markets and market share, sales volumes and prices, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rate and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts are based on approved business unit operating plans for the early years’ cash flows and historical relationships in later years. The income approach is sensitive to changes in long-term terminal growth rates and the discount rates. The long-term terminal growth rates are consistent with the Company’s historical long-term terminal growth rates, as the current economic trends are not expected to affect the long-term terminal growth rates of the Company. The long-term terminal growth rates for the Company’s reporting units ranged from 5.0% to 7.5% for the fiscal year 2011 impairment analysis. The range for the discount rates for the reporting units was 9.5% to 12.0%. Keeping all other variables constant, a 10.0% change in any one of the input assumptions for the various reporting units would still allow the Company to conclude, based on the first step of the process, that there was no impairment of goodwill.
 
The Company has consistently employed the relief from royalty model to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the non-amortizing intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a non-amortizing intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. In addition, the Company currently evaluates the remaining useful life of its non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If events or circumstances indicate that the useful lives of non-amortizing intangible assets are no longer indefinite, the assets will be tested for impairment. These intangible assets will then be amortized prospectively over their estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization. The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of January 3, 2011, and concluded that there was no impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. An assessment of the recoverability of amortizing intangible assets takes place only when events have occurred that may give rise to an impairment. The Company recorded a charge of $3.0 million for the impairment of intangible assets during fiscal year 2011 within the Human Health segment for the full impairment of license agreements, that the Company no longer intends to use, relating to an acquisition in fiscal year 2006.

Note 13:
Debt
 
Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On December 16, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The agreement for the facility provides for $700.0 million of revolving loans and has an initial maturity of December 16, 2016, and amends and restates in its entirety the senior credit agreement dated as of August 13, 2007. As of January 1, 2012, undrawn letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $13.0 million are treated as issued and outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company uses the senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and strategic alliances. The interest rates under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility are based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin, or the base rate from time to time. The base rate is the higher of (i) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its "prime rate," (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) one-month Libor plus 1.00%. The Eurocurrency margin as of January 1, 2012 was 130 basis points. The weighted average Eurocurrency interest rate as of January 1, 2012 was 0.28%, resulting in a weighted average effective Eurocurrency rate, including the margin, of 1.58%. The Company had $298.0 million of borrowings in U.S. Dollars outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility as of January 1, 2012, with interest based on the above described Eurocurrency rate. The credit agreement for the facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type and those contained in the Company's previous senior revolving credit agreement. The Company's amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility includes two financial covenants of debt-to-capital ratios and a contingent multiple of total debt to earnings ratio, applicable if the Company's credit rating is down-graded below investment grade.

6% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2015. On May 30, 2008, the Company issued $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) in a private placement and received $150.0 million of proceeds from the issuance. The 2015 Notes mature in May 2015 and bear interest at an annual rate of 6%. Interest on the 2015 Notes is payable semi-annually on May 30th and November 30th each year. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2015 Notes at any time, at its option, at a make-whole redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture governing the 2015 Notes includes financial covenants of debt-to-capital ratios and a contingent multiple of total debt to earnings ratio, applicable if the Company's credit rating is down-graded below investment grade.

5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021. On October 25, 2011, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2021 in a registered public offering and received approximately $496.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance. The 2021 Notes were issued at 99.372% of the principal amount, which resulted in a discount of $3.1 million. The 2021 Notes mature in November 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 5%. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15th and November 15th each year. Prior to August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect to the 2021 Notes being redeemed, discounted on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2021 Notes, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Notes ) and a contemporaneous downgrade of the 2021 Notes below investment grade, each holder of 2021 Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder's 2021 Notes for 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company maintains target allocation percentages among various asset classes based on investment policies established for the pension plans which are designed to maximize the total rate of return (income and appreciation) after inflation within the limits of prudent risk taking, while providing for adequate near-term liquidity for benefit payments.

The Company’s expected returns on assets assumptions are derived from management’s estimates, as well as other information compiled by management, including studies that utilize customary procedures and techniques. The studies include a review of anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes and consideration of the appropriate asset allocation strategy given the anticipated requirements of the plans to determine the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested to provide for the pension plans benefits. While the study gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term, prospective rate.
 
The Company's discount rate assumptions are derived from a range of factors, including a yield curve composed of the rates of return on high-quality fixed-income corporate bonds available at the measurement date and the related expected duration for the obligations.

The target allocations for plan assets are listed in the above table. Equity securities primarily include investments in large-cap and mid-cap companies located in the United States and abroad, and equity index funds. Debt securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, high-yield bonds, and U.S. government securities. Other types of investments include investments in non U.S. government index liked bonds, multi-strategy hedge funds and venture capital funds that follow several different strategies.

The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets as of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011 by asset category, classified in the three levels of inputs described in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Valuation Techniques:    For Level 1 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices as these instruments have active markets. For Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or utilizes alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. For Level 3 inputs, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based on the best information available, including estimates by management primarily based on information provided by third-party fund managers, independent brokerage firms and insurance companies.

The Company also sponsors a supplemental executive retirement plan to provide senior management with benefits in excess of normal pension benefits. Effective July 31, 2000, this plan was closed to new entrants. At January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011, the projected benefit obligations were $22.3 million and $19.1 million, respectively. Assets with a fair value of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, segregated in a trust (which is included in marketable securities and investments on the consolidated balance sheets), were available to meet this obligation as of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011, respectively. Pension expense for this plan was approximately $4.9 million in fiscal year 2011, $2.7 million in fiscal year 2010 and $3.0 million in fiscal year 2009.
 
Postretirement Medical Plans:    The Company provides healthcare benefits for eligible retired U.S. employees under a comprehensive major medical plan or under health maintenance organizations where available. The majority of the Company’s

90
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


U.S. employees become eligible for retiree health benefits if they retire directly from the Company and have at least ten years of service. Generally, the major medical plan pays stated percentages of covered expenses after a deductible is met and takes into consideration payments by other group coverage and by Medicare. The plan requires retiree contributions under most circumstances and has provisions for cost-sharing charges. Effective January 1, 2000, this plan was closed to new hires. For employees retiring after 1991, the Company has capped its medical premium contribution based on employees’ years of service. The Company funds the amount allowable under a 401(h) provision in the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. Assets of the plan are primarily equity and debt securities and are available only to pay retiree health benefits.

Deferred Compensation Plans:    During fiscal year 1998, the Company implemented a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides benefits payable to officers and certain key employees or their designated beneficiaries at specified future dates, or upon retirement or death. Benefit payments under the plan are funded by contributions from participants, and for certain participants, contributions are funded by the Company. The obligations related to the deferred compensation plan totaled $0.9 million at both January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011.
 
Note 16:
Contingencies

The Company is conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at current and former locations of the Company and, along with other companies, has been named a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for certain waste disposal sites. The Company accrues for environmental issues in the accounting period that the Company’s responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. The Company has accrued $6.7 million as of January 1, 2012, which represents management’s estimate of the total cost of ultimate disposition of known environmental matters. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where the Company has been

94

named a PRP, management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. The Company expects that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had, or are expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.

Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, “Enzo”) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. (the “New York Case”). The complaint alleges that the Company has breached its distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzo’s patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzo’s patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. Enzo seeks injunctive and monetary relief. In 2003, the court severed the lawsuit and ordered Enzo to serve individual complaints against the five defendants. The Company subsequently filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzo’s patents are invalid. In July 2006, the court issued a decision regarding the construction of the claims in Enzo’s patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, the Company believes, excludes certain of the Company’s products from the coverage of Enzo’s patents. Summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants in January 2007, and a hearing with oral argument on those motions took place in July 2007. In January 2009, the case was assigned to a new district court judge and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decides Enzo’s appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the “Connecticut Case”), which involves a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzo’s case against the Company. On March 26, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. The New York Case against the Company and other defendants remains stayed except that the district court has permitted the Company and the other defendants to jointly file a motion for summary judgment on certain patent and other issues common to all of the defendants.
 
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the matter described above, and it is contesting the action vigorously. While this matter is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of the Company’s management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company is also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Although the Company has established accruals for potential losses that it believes are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of the Company’s management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at January 1, 2012 should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company.
 
Note 17:
Warranty Reserves

The Company provides warranty protection for certain products usually for periods one year beyond the date of sale. The majority of costs associated with warranty obligations include the replacement of parts and the time for service personnel to respond to repair and replacement requests. A warranty reserve is recorded based upon historical results, supplemented by management’s expectations of future costs. Warranty reserves are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. A summary of warranty reserve activity for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2012, January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010 is as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation:
 
In addition to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company formerly had three stock-based compensation plans, the Amended and Restated 2001 Incentive Plan, the 2005 Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated Life Sciences Incentive Plan (collectively the “Prior Plans”), under which the Company’s common stock was made available for stock option grants, restricted stock awards, and stock grants as part of the Company’s compensation programs. On April 28, 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2009 Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). Under the 2009 Plan, 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as shares of the Company’s common stock previously granted under the Amended and Restated 2001 Incentive Plan and the 2005 Incentive Plan that were cancelled or forfeited without the shares being issued, are authorized for stock option grants, restricted stock awards, and stock grants as part of the Company’s compensation programs. The 2009 Plan replaced the Prior Plans. Awards granted under the Prior Plans prior to the approval of the 2009 Plan remain outstanding.
 
The following table summarizes total pre-tax compensation expense recognized related to the Company’s stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and stock grants, net of estimated forfeitures, included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009:

Stock-based compensation costs capitalized as part of inventory were $0.3 million as of both January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011. The excess tax benefit recognized from stock awards, classified as a financing cash activity, was $9.3 million in fiscal year 2011, $2.4 million in fiscal year 2010 and $0.2 million in fiscal year 2009.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


Stock Options:    The Company has granted options to purchase common shares at prices equal to the market price of the common shares on the date the option is granted. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. Options are generally exercisable in equal annual installments over a period of three years, and will generally expire seven years after the date of grant. Options replaced in association with business combination transactions are issued with the same terms of the respective plans under which they were originally issued.
 
The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated primarily based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the option and historic exercise experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated based on voluntary termination behavior, as well as an analysis of actual option forfeitures. The Company’s weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows for the fiscal years ended:

At January 1, 2012, there were 4.9 million stock options that were vested, and expected to vest in the future, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $7.8 million and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 3.6 years.
 
The weighted-average per-share grant-date fair value of options granted during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $7.03, $5.99, and $3.33, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $6.9 million, $6.1 million, and $2.0 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards:    The Company has awarded shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units that contain time-based vesting provisions and performance-based vesting provisions to certain employees at no cost to them, which cannot be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged during the restriction period. These awards were granted under the Company’s 2009 Plan, 2005 Incentive Plan and 2001 Incentive Plan. Recipients of the restricted stock have the right to vote such shares and receive dividends.
 
Restricted Stock Awards (Time-based Vesting)—The Company grants restricted stock and restricted stock units that vest through the passage of time, assuming continued employment. The fair value of the award at the time of the grant is expensed on a straight line basis primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses over the vesting period, which is generally three years.
 
Restricted Stock Awards (Performance-based Vesting)—The Company grants restricted stock and restricted stock units that vest based on certain specified performance criteria, assuming employment at the time the performance criteria are met. The fair value of the shares is expensed over the period of performance primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses, once achievement of criteria is deemed probable.

The weighted-average per-share grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards granted during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $26.31, $21.20, and $13.24, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock awards vested during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $6.5 million, $3.0 million, and $1.8 million, respectively. The total compensation expense recognized related to the restricted stock awards was $6.5 million in fiscal year 2011, $4.3 million in fiscal year 2010 and $2.3 million in fiscal year 2009.
 
As of January 1, 2012, there was $9.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of forfeitures, related to nonvested restricted stock awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 fiscal years.
 
Performance Units:    The Company’s performance unit program provides a cash award based on the achievement of specific performance criteria. A target number of units are granted at the beginning of a three-year performance period. The number of units earned at the end of the performance period is determined by multiplying the number of units granted by a performance factor ranging from 0% to 200%. Awards are determined by multiplying the number of units earned by the stock price at the end of the performance period, and are paid in cash and accounted for as a liability based award. The compensation expense associated with these units is recognized over the period that the performance targets are expected to be achieved. The Company granted 89,828 performance units, 129,879 performance units, and 205,900 performance units during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The weighted-average per-share grant-date fair value of performance units granted during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $26.71, $20.89, and $13.17, respectively. The total compensation expense related to these performance units was $3.7 million, $2.0 million, and $2.1 million for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. As of January 1, 2012, there were 346,308 performance units outstanding subject to forfeiture, with a corresponding liability of $8.4 million recorded in accrued expenses.
 
Stock Awards:    The Company’s stock award program provides non-employee Directors an annual equity award. For fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 the award equaled the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which has an aggregate fair market value of $100,000 on the date of the award. The stock award is prorated for non-employee Directors who serve for only a portion of the year. The shares are granted in May following the annual meeting of shareholders, on the third business day after the Company’s first quarter earnings release. The compensation expense associated with these stock awards is recognized when the stock award is granted. In fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, each non-employee Director was awarded 3,544 shares, 4,337 shares, and 5,790 shares, respectively. The weighted-average per-share grant-date fair value of stock awards

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


granted during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $28.22, $23.06, and $17.27, respectively. The total compensation expense recognized related to these stock awards was $0.8 million in each of the fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.
 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan:    In April 1999, the Company’s shareholders approved the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In April 2005, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board voted to amend the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, effective July 1, 2005, whereby participating employees have the right to purchase common stock at a price equal to 95% of the closing price on the last day of each six-month offering period. The number of shares which an employee may purchase, subject to certain aggregate limits, is determined by the employee’s voluntary contribution, which may not exceed 10% of the employee’s base compensation. During fiscal year 2011, the Company issued 102,970 shares of common stock under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a weighted-average price of $21.33 per share. During fiscal year 2010, the Company issued 85,607 shares under this plan at a weighted-average price of $21.80 per share. During fiscal year 2009, the Company issued 195,406 shares under this plan at a weighted-average price of $16.05 per share. At January 1, 2012 there remains available for sale to employees an aggregate of 1.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock out of the 5.0 million shares authorized by shareholders for issuance under this plan.

The tax effects on the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income (loss) have historically been minimal due to the Company’s position that undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested. During fiscal year 2010, as a result of the sale of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, the Company concluded that the remaining operations within those foreign subsidiaries previously containing IDS and Photoflash operations did not require the same level of capital as previously required, and therefore the Company repatriated approximately $250.0 million of cash and provided for the estimated taxes on the repatriation of those earnings. During fiscal year 2011, as a result of the Caliper acquisition, the Company concluded that certain foreign operations did not require the same level of capital as previously expected, and therefore the Company plans to repatriate approximately $350.0 million of previously unremitted earnings and has provided for the estimated taxes on the repatriation of those earnings. Taxes have not been provided for unremitted earnings that the Company continues to consider indefinitely reinvested, which is based on its future operational and capital requirements.
 
Stock Repurchase Program:
On October 23, 2008, the Company announced that the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). On August 31, 2010, the Company announced that the Board had authorized the Company to repurchase an additional 5.0 million shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless terminated earlier by the Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During fiscal year 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $107.8 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. During fiscal year 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $71.5 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. During fiscal year 2009, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $14.2 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. As of January 1, 2012, approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock remained available for repurchase from the 15.0 million shares authorized by the Board under the

99
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


Repurchase Program.
 
The Board has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans. During fiscal year 2011, the Company repurchased 84,243 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $2.2 million. During fiscal year 2010, the Company repurchased 57,551 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $1.3 million. During fiscal year 2009, the Company repurchased 28,890 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $0.4 million. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
 
Dividends:
The Board declared regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.07 per share in each quarter of fiscal year 2011 and in each quarter of fiscal year 2010. At January 1, 2012, the Company has accrued $7.9 million for dividends declared prior to year end. On January 27, 2012, the Company announced that the Board had declared the quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share that will be payable in May 2012. In the future, the Board may reduce or eliminate the Company’s common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.
 

Note 20:
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
 
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its risk management strategy only, and includes derivatives utilized as economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments. By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. The Company enters into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and has policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does the Company use leveraged financial instruments. Approximately 62% of the Company’s business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. The fluctuations in foreign currency can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. The intent of these economic hedges is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures from these currencies, with gains and losses resulting from the forward currency contracts that hedge these exposures.
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with its committed exposures to mitigate the effect of foreign currency movements on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Transactions covered by hedge contracts include intercompany and third-party receivables and payables. The contracts are primarily in European and Asian currencies, have maturities that do not exceed 12 months, have no cash requirements until maturity, and are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency contracts are recognized immediately in earnings for hedges designated as fair value and, for hedges designated as cash flow, the related unrealized gains or losses are deferred as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which the underlying anticipated transaction occurs and impacts earnings.
 
Principal hedged currencies include the British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), and Singapore Dollar (SGD). The Company held forward foreign exchange contracts with U.S. equivalent notional amounts totaling $268.9 million at January 1, 2012 and $107.3 million at January 2, 2011, and the approximate fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The gains and losses realized on foreign currency derivative contracts are not material. The duration of these contracts was generally 30 days during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.

In May 2008, the Company settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150 million upon the issuance of its 2015 Notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income. The derivative losses are being amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. As of January 1, 2012, the balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the effective cash flow hedges was $4.1 million, net of taxes of $2.7 million. The Company amortized $2.0 million into interest expense during each of the fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.
 
Note 21:
Fair Value Measurements
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company believes it had no significant concentrations of credit risk as of January 1, 2012.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


The Company uses the market approach technique to value its financial instruments and there were no changes in valuation techniques during fiscal years 2011 and 2010. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are primarily comprised of marketable securities, derivative contracts used to hedge the Company’s currency risk, and acquisition related contingent consideration. The Company has not elected to measure any additional financial instruments or other items at fair value.
 
Valuation Hierarchy: The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the guidance to measure fair value. For Level 1 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices as these instruments have active markets. For Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or utilizes alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. For Level 3 inputs, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based on the best information available, including estimates by management primarily based on information provided by third-party fund managers, independent brokerage firms and insurance companies. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.
 
The following tables show the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011 classified in one of the three classifications described above:

Valuation Techniques: The Company’s Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities are comprised of investments in equity and fixed-income securities as well as derivative contracts. For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including common stock price quotes, foreign exchange forward prices, and bank price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities.

The Company has classified its net liabilities for contingent consideration relating to its acquisitions of chemagen, ArtusLabs, IDB, Dexela and Sym-Bio LifeScience Co., Ltd. within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which included probability weighted cash flows. A description of these acquisitions is included in Note 2. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending Level 3 net liabilities is as follows:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
 
The Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility, with a $700.0 million available limit, the Company’s 2015 Notes, with a face value of $150.0 million, and the Company’s 2021 Notes, with a face value of $500.0 million, had carrying values as of January 1, 2012 of $298.0 million, $150.0 million and $496.9 million, respectively. As of January 2, 2011 the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $274.0 million, and the Company’s 2015 Notes had an outstanding balance $150.0 million.
 
The interest rate on the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility is reset at least monthly to correspond to variable rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt. The Company had no change in credit standing during fiscal year 2011. Consequently, the carrying value of the current year and prior year credit facilities approximate fair value. The fair values of the 2015 Notes and the 2021 Notes are estimated using market quotes from brokers or is based on current rates offered for similar debt. At January 1, 2012, the 2015 Notes had an aggregate carrying value of $150.0 million and a fair value of $165.7 million. At January 2, 2011, the 2015 Notes had an aggregate carrying value of $150.0 million and a fair value of $166.8 million. At January 1, 2012, the 2021 Notes had an aggregate carrying value of $496.9 million, net of $3.1 million of unamortized original issue discount, and a fair value of $518.3 million.

As of January 1, 2012, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities due to credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to the Company’s derivative assets based on the evaluation of its counterparties’ credit risks.
 
Note 22:
Leases
 
The Company leases certain property and equipment under operating leases. Rental expense charged to continuing operations for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 amounted to $49.1 million, $46.8 million, and $36.2 million, respectively. Minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows: $50.2 million in fiscal year 2012, $35.6 million in fiscal year 2013, $26.4 million in fiscal year 2014, $21.1 million in fiscal year 2015, $15.3 million in fiscal year 2016 and $52.2 million in fiscal year 2017 and thereafter.

Human Health.    Develops diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect diseases earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. Within the Human Health segment, the Company serves both the diagnostics and research markets.
•
Environmental Health.    Provides technologies and applications to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. The Environmental Health segment serves the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets.

The Company has included the expenses for its corporate headquarters, such as legal, tax, audit, human resources, information technology, and other management and compliance costs, as well as the expense related to mark-to-market and curtailments on postretirement benefit plans, as “Corporate” below. The Company has a process to allocate and recharge expenses to the reportable segments when these costs are administered or paid by the corporate headquarters based on the extent to which the segment benefited from the expenses. These amounts have been calculated in a consistent manner and are included in the Company’s calculations of segment results to internally plan and assess the performance of each segment for all purposes, including determining the compensation of the business leaders for each of the Company’s operating segments.

Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures
 
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 1, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 1, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability

107

of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
•
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
•
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
•
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of January 1, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
 
Our registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears below.


108

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PerkinElmer, Inc.
Waltham, Massachusetts
 
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of PerkinElmer, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 1, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended January 1, 2012 of the Company and our report dated February 28, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule and included an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company's changes of its methods of recognizing defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit costs and the Company's change in the presentation of comprehensive income to reflect the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2011-5, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) as amended.
