Corporate Information

Digirad Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1997. Unless the context requires otherwise, in this report the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Digirad^® Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Digirad Imaging Solutions^®, Inc.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Digirad is the specialized diagnostic solutions provider advancing the science of imaging with intelligently dedicated systems and services that optimize efficiency, outcomes and the patient experience throughout the continuum of care. We generate revenues within two primary operating segments: Digirad Imaging Solutions (“DIS”), which is one of the largest national providers of in-office nuclear cardiology and ultrasound imaging services to physician practices and hospitals, and Diagnostic Imaging, which encompasses our nuclear camera sales and product services business.

We were the first to commercialize solid-state nuclear gamma cameras for the detection of cardiovascular disease and other medical conditions. Our imaging systems are sold in both portable (i.e., movable) and fixed (i.e., stationary) configurations, and provide enhanced operability, improved patient comfort and can result in lower healthcare costs. Our triple-head Cardius^® 3 XPO system provides significantly shorter image acquisition time when compared to traditional vacuum tube cameras or our single or dual head Cardius^® cameras. Our ergo^TM imaging system is a large field-of-view general purpose imager featuring a sleek ergonomic (portable) design that offers clinical versatility and high performance. The ergo^TM expands our reach beyond nuclear cardiology into general nuclear medicine with applicability to various disease states. Our nuclear cameras fit easily into floor spaces as small as seven feet by eight feet and facilitate the delivery of nuclear medicine procedures in a physician’s office or an outpatient hospital setting. Our new ergo^TM can be used in the intensive and critical care units, pediatrics, trauma units, patient floors, emergency and operating rooms, women’s health or research areas.

Through DIS, we offer a convenient and economically efficient imaging services program as an alternative to purchasing a gamma camera or ultrasound equipment or outsourcing the procedures to another physician or imaging center. For physicians who wish to perform nuclear imaging, echocardiography, vascular or general ultrasound tests, or any combination of these procedures in their offices, we provide the ability for them to engage our services, which includes the use of our imaging system, qualified personnel, and related items required to perform imaging in the their own offices and bill Medicare, Medicaid or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for those services. These services are also used by large and small hospitals, multi-practice physician groups, and imaging centers. The flexibility of our products and our DIS service allows physicians to ensure continuity of care and convenience for their patients and allows them to retain revenue from procedures they would otherwise refer to imaging centers and hospitals. DIS services are primarily provided to cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, and family practice doctors who enter into annual contracts for a set number of days ranging from once

1

per month to five times per week. We experience some seasonality in our DIS business related to vacations, holidays, and inclement weather. Most of the DIS business focuses on cardiac care with an increase in a combination of cardiac, vascular and general ultrasound imaging in recent months. Many of the physicians who use DIS services are reliant on reimbursements from Medicare and third-party insurers where there has been downward pressure and uncertainty due to factors outside the physicians’ control. The uncertainty created by the 2010 healthcare reform laws, Congress’ continued deferred action on the Sustainable Growth Rate reimbursement factor (which is part of the Relative Value Unit calculation of reimbursements for all medical codes associated with the physician fee schedule) and other legislation has also impacted our business. These changes may require further modifications to our business model in order for our physician customers and us to maintain a viable economic model.

Our Diagnostic Imaging segment's revenue results primarily from selling solid-state gamma cameras and camera maintenance contracts. We sell our imaging systems to physician offices, hospitals and imaging centers primarily in the United States, although we have sold a small number of imaging systems internationally.

On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging business to significantly reduce costs and focus on maximizing cash flow from our DIS service business. This restructuring effort will also include a reduction in force. After completion of this planned restructuring, we believe the overall operating cash flow of the Company will increase. However, it is also likely that the long-term volume and total revenue of our Diagnostic Imaging camera sales will decrease. Further, we are assessing as part of the restructuring effort if we will continue to manufacture our products internally or outsource manufacturing to a third party, and to what extent we will continue to manufacture our products. See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Market Opportunity

Nuclear Imaging

Nuclear imaging is a form of diagnostic imaging in which depictions of the internal anatomy or physiology are generated primarily through non-invasive means. Diagnostic imaging facilitates the early diagnosis of diseases and disorders, often minimizing the scope, cost and amount of care required and reducing the need for more invasive procedures. Currently, the major types of non-invasive diagnostic imaging technologies available are: x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), ultrasound, positron emission tomography or PET (which is a form of nuclear imaging) and nuclear imaging. The most widely used imaging acquisition technology utilizing gamma cameras is single photon emission computed tomography, or SPECT. All of our current cardiac gamma cameras employ SPECT methodology.

According to industry sources, (despite the improving image quality and increasing utilization rates of competing modalities such as computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, and diagnostic procedures such as CT angiography), SPECT procedures performed with gamma cameras will continue to be used for a substantial number of cardiac-specific imaging procedures. We believe continued utilization will be driven by patients having easier access to nuclear medicine services at physicians’ offices, lower purchase and maintenance costs, a smaller physical footprint, and easier service logistics of gamma cameras. In an emerging trend in cardiology, SPECT technologies are being integrated with other imaging modalities, to form hybrid imaging modalities, such as SPECT/CT, resulting in improved clinical quality and diagnostic certainty.

Clinical Applications for Nuclear Imaging

Nuclear imaging is used primarily in cardiovascular, oncology, and neurological applications. Nuclear imaging involves the introduction of very low-level radiopharmaceuticals into the patient’s bloodstream. The radiopharmaceuticals are specially formulated to concentrate temporarily in the specific part of the body to be studied. The radiation signals emitted by the materials are then converted into an image of the body part or organ. Nuclear imaging has several advantages over other diagnostic imaging modalities, showing not only the anatomy or structure of an organ or body part, but also its function including blood flow, organ function, metabolic activity, and biochemical activity. Cardiologists and an increasing number of internists and other physicians either purchase our nuclear cameras or subscribe to our DIS services for in-office cardiac imaging for these advantages.

Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound is a form of diagnostic imaging in which depictions of the internal anatomy are generated primarily through non-invasive means. Ultrasound imagers use sonar techniques to generate diagnostic images that facilitate the early diagnosis of diseases and disorders, often minimizing the scope and cost of care required and reducing the need for invasive procedures.

2

Clinical Applications for Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging techniques in the United States. Ultrasound imaging is used primarily in obstetrics, internal medicine, cardiovascular care, and vascular health applications. Ultrasound imaging involves the transmission and detection of sound waves into and from a patient’s body. The sound waves transmitted by the ultrasound system are then converted into an image of the body part or organ. Ultrasound imaging also shows the anatomy or structure of many internal organs or body parts, as well as key functional information—including blood flow, wall motion and organ function. Our ultrasound services are used by an increasing number of cardiologists, internists and other physicians for in-office echocardiography and general ultrasound imaging.

Our Imaging Services

DIS offers portable nuclear and ultrasound imaging services. We have obtained Intersocietal Commission for Nuclear Cardiology Laboratories (ICANL) and Intersocietal Commission for Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL) accreditation for our services. Our nuclear modality services include an imaging system, a certified nuclear medicine technologist and a cardiac stress technician, often certified or a trained nurse or paramedic, the supply of radiopharmaceuticals, and required licensing services for the performance of nuclear imaging procedures under the supervision of physicians. Our licensing infrastructure provides the radioactive materials license, radiation safety officer services, radiation safety training, monitoring and compliant policies and procedures, and the quality assurance function to ensure adherence to applicable state and federal nuclear regulations. The ultrasound imaging service is similar, in that we provide the ultrasound equipment and one experienced ultrasound technologist.

Our portable nuclear imaging operations use a “hub and spoke” model in which centrally located regional hubs anchor multiple van routes in the surrounding metropolitan areas. At our DIS hubs, clinical personnel load the equipment, radiopharmaceuticals, and other supplies onto specially equipped vans for transport to the physician’s office or other customer locations, where they set up the equipment for the day. After quality assurance testing, a technologist under the physician’s supervision will gather patient information, inject the patient with a radiopharmaceutical, and then acquire the images for interpretation by the physician.

We provide nuclear and ultrasound services primarily under annual contracts for services delivered on a per-day basis. Under these agreements, physicians pay us a fixed amount for each day and they commit to the scheduling of a minimum number of lease days during the lease term, which normally runs for one year. The same fixed payment amount is due for each day regardless of the number of patients seen or the reimbursement or payment obtained by the physician, practice, hospital, or imaging center.

Our Products

Digirad sells a line of nuclear medicine cameras for nuclear cardiology and general nuclear medicine applications. Our cameras are used in hospitals, imaging centers, physician offices and by mobile service providers. The central component of a nuclear camera is the detector and it ultimately determines the overall clinical quality of the image a camera produces. Our nuclear cameras feature detectors based on advanced proprietary solid-state technology developed by us. Solid-state systems have a number of benefits over conventional photomultiplier tube-based camera designs typically offered by our competitors. Our solid-state technology systems are typically 2 – 5 times lighter and considerably more compact than most traditional nuclear systems, making them far easier and less costly to build, as well as very reliable.

Our Cardius^® family of dedicated cardiac SPECT (single-photon emission computerized tomography) solid-state imagers are noted for their compactness, portability and unique upright imaging capabilities that make it possible to image patients up to 500 pounds in a sitting position. Upright imaging makes it possible to image large bariatric, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) or claustrophobic patients that typically could not be imaged lying down on competitive systems and afford our users the ability to generate added revenue to their practices. We offer fixed dual-head and triple-head cardiac camera models for dedicated use within a facility and a portable dual-head configuration that makes it possible to move the system to provide service to multiple rooms or sites. We are a market leader in the mobile solid-state nuclear camera segment. Our flagship product in cardiology is the Cardius^® XACT SPECT/CT system. It features a triple-head design and a low dose volume CT attenuation correction methodology, making it possible to perform studies faster with greater interpretation diagnostic confidence. Our XACT camera is increasingly being sought by departments seeking to improve productivity, increase clinical accuracy or employ new low dose clinical protocols.

Our ergo^TM large-field-of-view imaging system is targeted to hospitals with multi-camera general nuclear medicine departments, academic centers, pediatric hospitals, regional trauma centers, women’s health centers, and cancer centers. Most general nuclear medicine departments have the need for a single-head planar portable camera for imaging patients more conveniently on hospital stretchers, for imaging patients that can not be moved, and for imaging patient’s at their bedside

3

(pediatrics, intensive care units, critical care units, emergency rooms, surgical suites, women’s health clinics, or on regular patient floors). A single-head planar camera provides a more economical and convenient way to perform approximately 25% or more of all studies commonly performed in general nuclear medicine. It also opens the door to perform studies on critically ill patients in the patient’s room and the ability to perform new molecular breast imaging protocols that offer new revenue generation potential while improving the standard of patient care.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that our competitive strength is based on our proprietary solid-state technology in general nuclear medicine and cardiology.

• Leading Solid-State Technology. Our solid-state gamma cameras utilize proprietary photo-detector modules which enable us to build smaller and lighter cameras that are portable, with a degree of ruggedness that can withstand the vibration associated with transportation. Through fiscal 2012, we have continued to invest in technology advancements that enhance the performance of our solid-state photodiode detectors over traditional photomultiplier tube-based systems for both cardiac and general purpose nuclear medicine applications. We now offer a more geometric-efficient design for cardiology and introduced our ergo^TM imaging system in mid-2010, our first large field-of-view solid-state detector system for use in general nuclear medicine, pediatrics, women’s health and surgery.

• Portable Applications through Reduced Size and Weight. Our cameras, depending on the model, weigh anywhere from 600 to 1,000 pounds. Competitive anger photomultiplier tube-based technology cameras generally weigh 2 to 5 times as much. Our dedicated cardiac imagers require a floor space of as little as seven feet by eight feet and generally can be installed without facility renovations and use standard power (20 Amps @ 120 VAC). Our portable cameras are ideal for mobile operators or practices desiring to service multiple office locations or imaging facilities, and for use in our DIS in-office service business. We bring nuclear technology to the patient.

• Speed and Image Quality. We believe our Cardius^® 3 XPO and X-ACT rapid imaging dedicated cardiac cameras, equipped with our proprietary nSPEED 3DOSEM software, can acquire images up to four times faster than conventional fixed 90 or variable dual-head photomultiplier vacuum tube camera designs with equivalent image quality. Increased imaging speed optimizes workflow and resource utilization and allows for reduction of the administered dose of radiation to patients or the use of low dose imaging protocols, which we believe is increasingly of interest to our physician customers.

• Improved Patient Comfort and Utilization. We believe the upright and open architecture of our patient chair reduces patient claustrophobia and increases patient comfort when compared to traditional vacuum tube-based imaging systems, the majority of which require the patient to lie flat and have detector heads rotate around the patient. Upright imaging positioning also reduces false indications that can result from organs pushing-up against the heart while patients are on their backs. Our Cardius^® XPO camera series allows for the imaging of patients weighing up to 500 pounds.

• Broad Portfolio of Cardiovascular Imaging Services. Another competitive advantage is our ability to offer nuclear cardiology, echocardiography and complete vascular imaging services. Our ability to offer multiple services strengthens our competitive position and expands our revenue potential. The depth of services offered varies depending on the local market opportunity, availability of personnel and credentialing requirements in the individual markets.

• Unique Dual Sales and Leasing Service Offering. We sell imaging systems to physicians who wish to perform nuclear imaging in their facilities and manage the related service logistics. Through DIS, we offer both nuclear and ultrasound services in which we lease our systems and certified personnel to physicians on an annual basis in flexible increments, ranging from one day per month to several days per week without requiring them to make a capital investment, hire personnel, obtain licensure, or manage other logistics associated with operating a nuclear imaging site.

• Intellectual Property Portfolio. We have developed an intellectual property portfolio that includes product, component and process patents covering various aspects of our imaging systems. We have 38 issued U.S. patents and an additional 7 pending U.S. patent applications. We also license patents from third parties to enhance our product offering. In addition to our patent portfolio, we have developed proprietary manufacturing, business know-how, and trade secrets. This portfolio of intellectual property combined with our ability to design, manufacture, sell and service our own equipment provides us with a distinct competitive advantage.

Business Strategy

Our goals are to achieve and maintain profitability and generate consistent positive cash flow via the following:

• DIS. 2012 has showed signs of stabilization in relation to healthcare reform and reimbursement uncertainties, however, we continue to have challenges surrounding reimbursement in general. We expect to continue supporting our physician customers by working with them to adjust our DIS business model for changes in the market as well as continuing to focus on aligning our labor and other costs with the variable nature of our revenue streams. Going forward, we also continue to see value in our service channel via strategic and technological initiatives designed to increase revenue per day for us and our physician customers, as well as expand our service model offerings. We may also acquire smaller, highly-disciplined businesses that meet strict financial criteria, and that complement our current DIS business.

• Diagnostic Imaging. In order to overcome the market decline of cardiac specific cameras and the general downturn in the economy that has limited the amount of healthcare capital spending, we intend to focus efforts on markets beyond the cardiac-specific nuclear market. Our Cardius^® XACT camera is particularly geared toward hospitals and large physician practices. Our ergo^TM imaging system also addresses the larger market of general nuclear imaging and provides us with a new untapped market opportunity within the hospital. Our ergo^TM imaging system is not just part of a hospital nuclear suite, it is a camera that enables the imaging to be performed wherever the patient is located and has great promise in areas of the hospital where previously no nuclear imaging has been performed, such as the emergency room and the surgical suite. On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging business to significantly reduce costs and focus on maximizing cash flow from our DIS service business, as well as improve cash flow in our Diagnostic Imaging business. This restructuring effort will also include a reduction in force. As a result of this restructuring, it is likely that the long-term volume and total revenue of our Diagnostic Imaging camera sales will decrease. Further, we are assessing as part of the restructuring effort if we will continue to manufacture our products internally or outsource manufacturing to a third party, and to what extent we will continue to manufacture our products. See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Business Segments

Our business is organized into two reportable segments: DIS and Diagnostic Imaging. See Note 10 to the audited consolidated financial statements for certain segment financial data relating to our business.

Manufacturing

We currently manufacture our gamma cameras and employ a strategy that combines our internal design expertise and proprietary process technology with selective outsourcing. Outsourcing the manufacturing of certain components of our cameras has resulted in cost efficiencies. We perform subassembly and final system performance tests at our facility. In addition, suppliers of our critical materials, components, and subassemblies undergo ongoing quality audits by us.

We use enterprise resource planning and collaborative software to help improve efficiency in the handling and security of inventory, purchasing, and the reduction of manufacturing variances. We use forecasting software to allow for more detailed and separate planning of service and product inventory. In some cases, we are in-sourcing when volumes do not allow for cost effective outsourcing.

We and our third-party manufacturers are subject to FDA Quality System Regulations, state regulations, such as those promulgated by the California Department of Health Services, and standards set by the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO. We are currently certified to the EN ISO 13485:2012 quality standard. We have certification authorizing CE Marking of our Cardius^® XPO, Cardius^® X-ACT, ergo^TM and 2020tc family of gamma cameras, as well as U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for our complete gamma camera product line. The CE Mark is a requirement for selling in many international markets. In addition, the X-ACT camera utilizes a patent pending x-ray technology to provide attenuation correction information for the SPECT reconstruction. We also have received FDA Indications for Use for our ergo^TM LFOV General Purpose Imager for lymphatic scintigraphy, parathyroid scintigraphy and molecular breast imaging.

As a result of our Diagnostic Imaging restructuring announced on February 28, 2013, we are assessing if we will continue to manufacture our products internally or outsource manufacturing to a third party, and to what extent we will continue to manufacture our products. See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Raw Materials

We use a wide variety of materials, metals and mechanical and electrical components for production of our products. In

5

addition, our imaging service business involves the use of radiopharmaceuticals. We primarily purchase these materials from external suppliers, some of which are single-source suppliers. We purchase materials from selected suppliers based on quality assurance, cost effectiveness and constraints resulting from regulatory requirements, and we work closely with our suppliers to assure continuity of supply while maintaining high quality and reliability. Global commodity supply and demand can ultimately affect pricing of certain of these raw materials. Though we believe we have adequate available sources of raw materials, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to access the quantity of raw material needed to sustain operations as well as at a cost effective price.

Competition

The medical device industry, including the market for nuclear and ultrasound imaging systems and services, is highly competitive. Our business in the private practice and hospital sectors continues to face the challenge of a decline in demand for nuclear imaging equipment and services, which we believe reflects in part, the impact of the Deficit Reduction Act on the reimbursement environment and the 2010 Healthcare Reform laws, decline in the overall economy and competition from competing imaging modalities, such as CT (computed tomography) angiography, PET (positron emission tomography), and hybrid technologies. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include acceptance by physicians, budget availability, qualification for reimbursement, pricing, ease-of-use, reliability and mobility.

In providing DIS imaging services, we compete against many smaller local and regional nuclear and/or ultrasound providers, often owner-operators. The fixed-installation operators often utilize used equipment and the mobile operators may use older Digirad single-head cameras or newer dual-head cameras. We are the only mobile provider with our own exclusive source of triple-head mobile systems. Some competing operators place new or used cameras into physician offices and then provide the staffing, supplies and other support as an alternative to a DIS lease. In addition, we compete against imaging centers that install fixed nuclear gamma cameras and make them available to referring physicians in their geographic vicinity. In these cases, the physician sends his/her patients to the imaging center.

In selling our imaging systems, we compete against several large medical device manufacturers who offer a full line of imaging cameras for each diagnostic imaging technology, including x-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, or SPECT/CT and PET/CT hybrid imagers. The existing nuclear imaging systems sold by these competitors have been in use for a longer period of time than our products and are more widely recognized and used by physicians and hospitals for nuclear imaging; however, they are generally not solid-state, light-weight, as flexible or portable. Additionally, certain medical device companies have developed solid-state gamma cameras which may directly compete with our product offerings. Many of the larger multi-modality competitors enjoy significant competitive advantages over us, including greater name recognition, greater financial and technical resources, established relationships with healthcare professionals, broader distribution networks, more resources for product development and marketing and sales and the ability to bundle products to offer discounts.

Sales

We maintain two sales organizations, which operate independently: Diagnostic Imaging sales and DIS sales. The sales teams work together to ensure that our customers make the right decisions in purchasing a gamma camera or utilizing our imaging services. DIS sales teams are aligned across geographic areas we have established in order to better serve local market needs. Our DIS business is segregated into ten areas, each area is led by a local or regional business director who is responsible for the needs of our customers in that area and who has local operational responsibility. DIS expects to increase market penetration by executing new quantitative profiling approaches to identifying suitable physician practices and by expanding the breadth of available imaging services in select markets to include nuclear medicine, echocardiography, vascular and general ultrasound scans, as well as other emerging services that have clinical need. The Diagnostic Imaging business sells directly to physicians, clinics and hospital customers and works closely with distributors. We currently focus on hospitals, cardiology practices, and large primary care multi-specialty groups.

Research and Development

In the past, we have had a long and extensive commitment to research and development, including an established history in developing innovative solid-state gamma cameras, which has established a core competency in the development of silicon photodiodes and related scintillator assemblies, signal processing electronics and image processing software, which are the core technologies of our gamma cameras.

Our research and development efforts have been primarily focused in the near term on developing further enhancements to our existing products as well as developing our next generation products. Our research and development expense was $3.7 million, $2.7 million, and $2.9 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

As a result of our Diagnostic Imaging restructuring announced on February 28, 2013, our future research and development

6

efforts will be largely related to smaller enhancements and maintenance of our existing product line, which we believe will significantly reduce spending on research and development.

Government Regulation

We and our medical professional customers must comply with a mosaic of federal and state laws and regulations. Violations of such laws and regulations can be punishable by criminal, civil, and/or administrative sanctions, including, in some instances, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Federal and state governmental agencies are continuing heightened enforcement efforts in the healthcare industry, and whistleblower cases are becoming more common. Accordingly, we maintain a vigorous compliance program and a hotline that permits our personnel to report violations while remaining anonymous if they wish. Our compliance committee, consisting of senior management, other select employees and our Compliance Officer, meets regularly to provide oversight of our compliance initiatives. We also conduct periodic audits to help ensure compliance with applicable laws.

The following is a summary of some of the laws and regulations applicable to our business:

• Anti-Kickback Laws. The Medicare/Medicaid Patient Protection Act of 1987, as amended, which is commonly referred to as the Anti-Kickback Statute, prohibits us from knowingly and willingly offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving any form of remuneration in return for the referral of items or services, or to purchase, lease, order or arrange for or recommend purchasing, leasing, or ordering any good, facility service or item, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program. Violation of the federal anti-kickback law is a felony, punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment, or both, and can result in civil penalties and exclusion from participation in healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Many states have adopted similar statutes prohibiting payments intended to induce referrals of products or services paid by Medicaid or other nongovernmental third-party payors.

• Physician Self-Referral Laws. Federal regulations commonly referred to as the “Stark Law” prohibit physician referrals of Medicare or Medicaid patients to an entity for certain designated health services if the physician or an immediate family member has an indirect or direct financial relationship with the entity, unless a statutory exception applies. We believe that referrals made by our physician customers are eligible to qualify for the “in-office ancillary services” exception to the Stark Law, provided that the services are provided or supervised by the physician or a member of his or her “Group Practice,” as that term is defined under the law, the services are performed in the same building in which the physicians regularly practice medicine, and the services are billed by or for the supervising physician or Group Practice. Violations of the Stark Law may lead to the imposition of penalties and fines, the exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs, and liability under the federal False Claims Act and its whistleblower provisions. Many states have adopted similar statutes prohibiting self-referral arrangements that cover all patients and not just Medicare and Medicaid patients.

• Federal False Claims Act. The federal False Claims Act imposes civil and criminal liability on individuals or entities for the submission of false or fraudulent claims for payment to the government. Violations of the federal False Claims Act may result in civil penalties and exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs. The federal False Claims Act also allows a private individual to bring a qui tam suit on behalf of the government against an individual or entity for violations of the False Claims Act. In a qui tam suit, a private plaintiff initiates a lawsuit for money of which the government was defrauded. If successful, the private plaintiff is entitled to receive up to 30% of the recovered amount plus reasonable expenses and attorney fees. A number of states have enacted laws modeled after the False Claims Act.

• HIPAA. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, prohibits schemes to defraud healthcare benefit programs and fraudulent conduct in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services. HIPAA also establishes standards governing electronic healthcare transactions and protecting the security and privacy of individually identifiable health information. Some states have also enacted privacy and security statutes or regulations that, in some cases, are more stringent than those issued under HIPAA.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, enacted February 17, 2009 made significant changes to HIPAA privacy and security regulation. Effective February 17, 2010, we are regulated directly under all of the HIPAA rules protecting the security of electronic individually identifiable health information and many of the rules governing the privacy of such information. In addition, the statute significantly increases and strengthens the penalties and enforcement of the HIPAA privacy and security rules.

• Medical Device Regulation. The FDA classifies medical devices, such as our cameras, into one of three classes, depending on the degree of risk associated with the device and the extent of control needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. Devices deemed to pose lower risk are placed in either class I or II, which generally requires the manufacturer to submit to the FDA a pre-market notification requesting permission for commercial distribution. This

7

process is known as 510(k) clearance. Devices deemed to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device, are placed in Class III, requiring an approved Premarket Approval Application (PMA). Our cameras are Class II medical devices which have been cleared for marketing by the FDA. After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in its intended use requires a new 510(k) clearance. The FDA requires each device manufacturer to determine whether a modification requires a new clearance or approval, but the FDA can disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. If so, the FDA can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or approval is obtained. We are also subject to post-market regulatory requirements relating to our manufacturing process, marketing and sales activities, product performance and medical device reports should there be deaths and serious injuries associated with our products.

• Pharmaceutical Regulation. Federal and state agencies, including the FDA and state pharmacy boards, regulate the radiopharmaceuticals used in our DIS business. These agencies administer laws governing the manufacturing, sale, distribution, use, administration, prescribing, and dispensing of drugs. Some of our activities may be deemed by relevant agencies to require additional permits or licensure that we currently do not possess.

• Radioactive Materials Laws. We must maintain licensure under, and comply with, federal and state radioactive materials laws, or RAM laws. RAM laws require, among other things, that radioactive materials are used by, or that their use be supervised by, individuals with specified training, expertise, and credentials and include specific provisions applicable to the medical use of radioactive materials. In our case, the authorized user must be a physician with training and expertise in the use of radioactive materials for diagnostic purposes. We have entered into contracts with qualified physicians in each of our regions to serve as authorized users. Because our physician customers in our lease services business are not licensees, and in most cases are not qualified to serve as authorized users, they perform nuclear medicine procedures as “supervised persons.”

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws, nondisclosure agreements, and other measures to protect our intellectual property. We require our employees, consultants, and advisors to execute confidentiality agreements and to agree to disclose and assign to us all inventions conceived during the work day, using our property, or which relate to our business. Despite any measures taken to protect our intellectual property, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary.

Patents

We have developed a patent portfolio that covers our overall products, components and processes. We have 38 issued U.S. patents and 7 pending U.S. patent applications. The issued and pending patents cover, among other things, aspects of solid-state radiation detectors including our photodiodes, signal processing, and system configuration. Our issued patents expire between August 9, 2016 and April 20, 2030. We have multiple patents covering unique aspects and improvements for many of our products. We have entered into royalty-bearing licenses for several U.S. patents with third parties, where we are the licensee, for exclusive or non-exclusive use in nuclear imaging (subject to certain reservation of rights by the U.S. Government). In addition to our solid-state detector and photodiode technology patents, we hold specific patents for an alternative solid-state method using Cadmium Zinc Telluride that we previously pursued for use in gamma cameras. While each of our patents applies to nuclear medicine, many also apply to the construction of area detectors for other types of medical and non-medical imagers and imaging methods.

Trademarks

As of December 31, 2012, we hold trademark registrations in the United States for the following marks: 2020tc IMAGER^®, Digirad^®, DigiServ^®, Cardius^®, SPECTour^®, SPECTpak Plus^®, Solidium^®, and DigiTech^® . We have obtained and sought trademark protection for some of these listed marks in the European Union and Japan.

Reimbursement

Our customers typically rely primarily on the Medicare and Medicaid programs and private payors for reimbursement. As a result, demand for our products is dependent in part on the coverage and reimbursement policies of these payors. Third party coverage and reimbursement is subject to extensive federal, state, local, and foreign regulation, and private payor rules and policies. In many instances, the applicable regulations, policies and rules have not been definitively interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and are open to a variety of interpretations and are subject to change without notice.

8

The scopes of coverage and payment policies vary among third-party private payors. For example, some payors will not reimburse a provider unless the provider has a contract with the payor, and in many instances such payors will not enter into such contracts without the approval of a third party “radiology benefit manager” (or RBM) that the payor compensates based on reducing the payor’s imaging expense. Other payors prohibit reimbursement unless physicians own or lease our cameras on a full-time basis, or meet certain accreditation or privileging standards. Such payor requirements and limitations can significantly restrict the types of business models we can successfully utilize.

Medicare reimbursement rules are subject to annual changes that may affect payment for services that our customers provide. In addition, Congress has passed healthcare reform proposals that are intended to expand the availability of healthcare coverage and reduce the growth in healthcare spending in the U.S. Many of these laws impact the services that our customers provide. For instance, the law has established an independent body that will have the power to recommend and mandate reimbursement levels for various healthcare services, including the imaging services we provide. An eventual outcome of these healthcare reform laws is expected to be changes, currently unspecified, in reimbursements and we will have to adapt to these changes. We are unable at this time to predict the full impact of health care reform on the diagnostic radiology services that our customers provide.

Medicare reimbursement rules impose many standards and policies on the payment of services that our customers provide. For instance, starting in 2012, physicians billing for the technical component of nuclear imaging tests must be accredited by a government-approved independent accreditation body and many private payors are adopting similar requirements. We have made available to our customers a service to assist them in obtaining and maintaining the required accreditation. We believe we have structured our contracts in a manner that allows our customers to seek reimbursement from third-party payors in compliance with the law. Our physician customers typically bill for both the technical and professional components of the tests. Assuming they meet certain requirements including, but not limited to, performing and documenting bona fide interpretations and providing the requisite supervision of the non-physician personnel performing the tests, they may bill and be paid by Medicare. If the failure to comply is deemed to be “knowing” or “willful,” the government could seek to impose fines or penalties, and we may be required to restructure our agreements and/or respond to any resultant claims by such customers or the government. Our hospital customers typically seek reimbursement by Medicare for outpatient services under the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012, we had a total of 248 full time employees, of which 144 were employed in clinical and regulatory positions, 39 in operational roles, 33 in general and administrative functions, 21 in marketing and sales and 11 in research and development. We had a total of 237 employees in our DIS subsidiary. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our employee relations to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We may not be able to achieve the benefits of our restructuring efforts.

On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging business to significantly reduce costs and focus on maximizing cash flow from our DIS service business. Restructuring efforts include many complexities, which include but are not limited to changing the way a business conducts operations, changing of key personnel, changing the process in how we manufacture and sell our products, modifying contracts, severing employees and working with less resources. There is

9

no guarantee that our restructuring efforts will increase profitability and cash flow in either our DIS business or our Diagnostic Imaging business, and our efforts could cause unforeseen complexities and additional cash outflows.

Our revenues may decline further due to reductions in Medicare reimbursement rates.

The success of our business is largely dependent upon our medical professional customers' ability to provide diagnostic imaging care to their patients in an economically sustainable manner, either through the purchase of our imaging systems or using our services, or both. Our customers are directly impacted by changes (decreases and increases) in governmental and private payor reimbursements for diagnostic imaging. Although we are not directly impacted by changes in reimbursements, we make every effort to act as business partners with our physician customers. For example, in 2010, we proactively adjusted the fair market value of our imaging services rate down due to the dramatic reimbursement declines that our customers faced from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Reimbursements remain a source of concern for our customers and downward pressure on reimbursements cause greater pricing pressure on our lease services and influences the buying decisions of our individual physician Diagnostic Imaging product customers. Although the gap is closing, hospital reimbursements remain higher than in-office reimbursements. Our Diagnostic Imaging segment's products are targeted to serve the hospital market. Only a small portion of our DIS business segment operates in the hospital market.

Further reductions in reimbursements could significantly impact the viability of in-office imaging performed by independent physicians. The uncertainty surrounding this issue and the historical decline in reimbursements has resulted in cancellations of imaging days in our imaging services business and the delay of purchase and service decisions by our existing and prospective customers in our Diagnostic Imaging business segment. Additional declines in Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement for our relevant diagnostic imaging modalities are possible due to many factors, including but not limited to the threatened implementation of the federal sustainable growth factor (SGR). The SGR is part of the relative value unit (RVU), a formula that was enacted by Congress as part of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to control the cost of the Medicare program. It applies to all health services paid for by Medicare, not just diagnostic imaging. The application of the SGR has been delayed by Congress for many years, and most recently in January 2013, Congress again implemented a delay of the application of an approximate 27% reduction in reimbursements until December 31, 2013. There is no assurance that these new rates to be implemented in 2014 will remain the same, or if they will be implemented sooner or later than 2014. Further, there is no assurance that concepts surrounding SGR will be timely or favorably resolved, and if not favorably resolved, it could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Our revenues may decline further due to changes in diagnostic imaging regulations and the use of third party benefit managers by states and private payors to drive down imaging volumes.

Nuclear medicine is a “designated health service” under the federal physician self-referral prohibition law known as the “Stark Law,” which states that a physician may not refer designated health services to an entity with which the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship, unless a statutory exception applies. Our business model and service agreements are structured to enable our physician customers to meet the statutory in-office ancillary services (IOAS) exception to the Stark Law allowing them to perform nuclear diagnostic imaging services on their patients in the convenience of their own office. From time-to-time, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Congress have proposed to modify the IOAS to further limit or eliminate this exception. Various lobbying organizations are pushing for, and the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) is actively discussing recommending that Congress limit the availability of the IOAS exception in order to reduce federal healthcare costs. Legislation has been introduced in prior Congresses to modify or eliminate the exception, but has not been enacted. The outcome of these efforts is uncertain at this time; however, the limitation or elimination of the IOAS exception could significantly impact our DIS business segment as currently structured.

Our customers who perform imaging services in their office also experience the continuing efforts by some private insurance companies to reduce healthcare expenditures by hiring radiology benefit managers to help them manage and limit imaging. The federal government has also set aside monies in the 2009 recession recovery acts to hire radiology benefit managers to provide image management services to Medicare/Medicaid and MedPAC has recommended and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has, in the past, proposed legislation requiring Medicare physicians who engage in a relatively high volume of medical imaging be required to obtain pre-authorization through a radiology benefit manager. A radiology benefit manager is an unregulated entity that performs various functions for private payors and managed care organizations. Radiology benefit manager activities can include pre-authorization for imaging procedures, setting and enforcing standards approving which contracted physicians can perform the services, such as requiring even the most experienced and highly qualified cardiologists to obtain additional board certifications or interfering with the financial decision of the private practitioner by requiring them to own their own imaging system and not allowing them to lease the system. The radiology benefit managers often do not provide written documentation of their decisions or an appeals process, leaving leasing physicians unable to challenge their decisions with the carrier or the state insurance department. Some efforts are being made to address certain radiology benefit manager issues, for example, a few years ago the New York State Attorney General entered

10

into a settlement requiring a radiology benefit manager (based and operating in New York State) to buy out its owners in the state who own imaging centers because it created a conflict of interest in their decisions to deny authorization for competing physicians to provide imaging services; and, New York is requiring the radiology benefit manager to establish an appeals process. However, unregulated radiology benefit manager activities have and could continue to adversely affect our physician customers' ability to receive reimbursement, therefore impacting our customers' decision to utilize our DIS imaging services.

Our manufacturing operations are highly dependent upon the availability of certain third-party suppliers, thereby making us vulnerable to supply problems that could harm our business.

We rely on a limited number of third parties to manufacture and supply certain key components of our products. Alternative sources of production and supply may not be readily available or may take several months to scale-up and develop effective production processes. If a disruption in the availability of parts or in the operations of our suppliers were to occur, such as with respect to components manufactured in Japan, our ability to build gamma cameras could be materially adversely affected. For this reason, we are developing backup plans and investigating alternative procedures that are designed to prevent delays in production. If these plans are unsuccessful, delays in the production of our gamma cameras for an extended period of time could cause a loss of revenue and/or higher production costs, which could significantly harm our business and results of operations.

In late 2010, the sole supplier of a key component of our ergo™ gamma camera ceased production of a critical component. We had a limited supply of that key component and worked hard with several suppliers, who subsequently successfully provided the component. The process to qualify a supplier for this key component is long, complex and costly. If the key component is not available when we need it, it could adversely impact our production capability and therefore negatively impact our financial condition. Furthermore, lower yields on the manufacturing of the key component that we do receive from our suppliers can have a negative impact on our financial condition through higher purchase price variances, which impact current period gross margins.

Our imaging operations are highly dependent upon the availability of certain radiopharmaceuticals, thereby making us vulnerable to supply problems and price fluctuations that could harm our business.

Our imaging service business involves the use of radiopharmaceuticals. There were significant disruptions in the international supply of these radiopharmaceuticals in 2010, which caused us to cancel services that would have otherwise been provided and this adversely affected our customers, as well as our financial condition in 2010. Since this event, we have had sufficient supply. The two major nuclear reactors supplying medical radiopharmaceuticals worldwide came back on-line at the end of 2010; however, there is no guarantee that the reactors will remain in good repair and our supplier will have continuing access to ample supply of our radiopharmaceutical product. If we are unable to obtain an adequate supply of the necessary radiopharmaceuticals, we may be unable to utilize our personnel and equipment through our in-office service operations, or the volume of our services could decline and our business may be adversely affected. Shortages can also cause price increases that may not be accounted for in third party reimbursement rates, thereby causing us to lose margin or require us to pass increases on to our physician customers. We have also been engaged in a contractual dispute with our former radiopharmaceutical supplier, for which we believe we are near a settlement. If we are unable to resolve the dispute in an amicable or cost effective manner, we may be required to pursue further expensive and protracted litigation, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

Our business is not widely diversified.

We sell our products and imaging services primarily into the cardiac nuclear and ultrasound imaging private practice and in-office markets. We may not be able to leverage our assets and technology to diversify our products and services in order to generate revenue beyond the cardiac nuclear and ultrasound imaging private practice markets. If we are unable to diversify our product and service offerings, our financial condition may suffer.

We compete against businesses that have greater resources and different competitive strengths.

The market for cardiac nuclear imaging cameras is limited and has been decreasing. Some of our competitors have greater resources and a more diverse product offering than we do. Some of our competitors also enjoy significant advantages over us, including greater name recognition, greater financial and technical resources, established relationships with healthcare professionals, larger distribution networks, and greater resources for product development, as well as more extensive marketing and sales resources. Additionally, certain companies have developed portable cameras that directly compete with our product offerings. If we are unable to expand our current market share, our revenues and related financial condition could decline.

11

In addition, our imaging services customers may switch to other service providers. Our DIS imaging services segment competes against small local, owner operated or regional businesses, some of whom have the advantage of a lower cost structure, and against imaging centers that install nuclear gamma cameras and make them available to physicians in their geographic vicinity. If these competitors are able to win significant portions of our business, our sales could decline significantly. Our financial condition could be adversely affected under such circumstances.

Our quarterly and annual financial results are difficult to predict and are likely to fluctuate from period to period.

We have historically experienced seasonality in our DIS business, and in the past, volatility due to the changing health care environment, the variable supply of radiopharmaceuticals, and the downturn in the U.S. economy. While our physicians are obligated to pay us for imaging days to which they have committed, our contracts permit some flexibility in scheduling when services are to be performed. We cannot predict with certainty the degree to which seasonal circumstances such as the summer slowdown, winter holiday vacations and weather conditions may affect the results of our operations. We have also experienced fluctuations in demand of our cardiac nuclear gamma cameras due to economic conditions, capital budget availability and other financial or business reasons. In addition, due to the way that customers in our target markets acquire our products, a large percentage of our camera orders are booked during the last month of each quarterly accounting period. As such, a delivery delay of only a few days may significantly impact quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations. Moreover, the sales cycle in our Diagnostic Imaging segment for cameras is typically lengthy, particularly in the hospital market, which may cause us to experience significant revenue fluctuations. The restructuring initiative announced on February 28, 2013, will create further volatility in our operating results. For these reasons, quarterly and annual sales and operating results may vary in the future, and period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.

Our common stock is thinly traded and our option plan could affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our common stock is thinly traded and any significant sales of our common stock may cause volatility in our stock price. We also have registered shares of common stock that we may issue under our employee benefit plans or from our treasury stock. Accordingly, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under the securities laws. If any of these stockholders, or other selling stockholders, cause a large number of securities to be sold in the public market without a corresponding demand, the sales could reduce the trading price of our common stock. One or more stockholders holding a significant amount of our common stock might be able to significantly influence matters requiring approval by our stockholders, possibly including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.

We spend considerable time and money complying with federal and state laws, regulations and other rules, and if we are unable to comply with such laws, regulations and other rules, we could face substantial penalties.

We are directly, or indirectly through our physician customers, subject to extensive regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business, including: the federal Medicare and Medicaid anti-kickback laws and other Medicare laws, regulations, rules, manual provisions, and policies that prescribe requirements for coverage and payment for services performed by us and our physician customers; the federal False Claims statutes; the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended in 2009 under the HITECH Act that places direct legal obligations and higher liability on us with respect to the security and handling of personal health information; the Stark Law; the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act; federal and state radioactive materials laws; state food and drug and pharmacy laws and regulations; state laws that prohibit the practice of medicine by non-physicians and fee-splitting arrangements between physicians and non-physicians; state scope-of-practice laws; and federal rules prohibiting the mark-up of diagnostic tests to Medicare under certain circumstances. If our physician customers are unable or unwilling to comply with these statutes, regulations, rules, and policies, rates of our services and products could decline and our business could be harmed. Additionally, new government mandates will require us to provide a certain baseline of health benefits and premium contribution for our employees and their families or pay governmental penalties. Some of these costs are not tax deductible. We have opted to provide this coverage to our employee base in order to maintain retention of qualified medical technicians and other professionals rather than plan to pay penalties to the government. Either option will result in additional costs to us and could negatively impact our cash reserves.

We maintain a compliance program to identify and correct any compliance issues and remain in compliance with all applicable laws, to train employees, to audit and monitor our operations, and to achieve other compliance goals. Like most companies with compliance programs, we occasionally discover compliance concerns. In such cases, we take responsive action including corrective measures when necessary. There can be no assurance that our responsive actions will insulate us from liability associated with any detected compliance concerns.

12

If our past or present operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws, regulations, rules, or policies described above or the other laws or regulations to which we or our customers are subject, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from federal or state health care programs, or the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Similarly, if our physician customers are found to be non-compliant with applicable laws, they may be subject to sanctions which could have a negative impact on us. Any penalties, damages, fines, curtailment or restructuring of our operations could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management's attention from the operation of our business, and damage our reputation.

Health care policy changes, including U.S. health care reform legislation signed in 2010, may have a material adverse effect on us.

In response to perceived increases in health care costs in recent years, there have been and continue to be proposals by the federal government, state governments, regulators, and third-party payers to control these costs and, more generally, to reform the U.S. health care system. Certain of these proposals could limit the prices we are able to charge for our products or the amounts of reimbursement available for our products and could limit the acceptance and availability of our products. The adoption of some or all of these proposals could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

In March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010. The legislation imposes significant new taxes on medical device makers in the form of a 2.3% excise tax on all U.S. medical device sales beginning in 2013. Under the legislation, the total cost to the medical device industry is expected to be approximately $20 billion over ten years. This significant increase in the tax burden on our industry could have a material, negative impact on our results of operations and our cash flows. Other elements of this legislation, such as comparative effectiveness research, an independent payment advisory board, payment system reforms, including shared savings pilots, and other provisions, could meaningfully change the way health care is developed and delivered, and may materially impact numerous aspects of our business.

Our manufacturing operations and executive offices are located at a single facility that may be at risk from fire, earthquakes or other disasters.

Our manufacturing operations, research and development activities and executive offices are located in a single facility in Poway, California, near known fire areas and earthquake fault zones. Future natural disasters could cause substantial delays in our operations, damage to our manufacturing equipment, research and development efforts and inventory, and cause us to incur additional expenses. Although we have taken precautions to insure our facilities and continuing operations, as well as provide for offsite back-up of our information systems, this may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case. A disaster could significantly harm our business and results of operations.

The medical device industry is litigious, which could result in the diversion of our management's time and efforts, and require us to pay damages which may not be covered by our insurance.

Our operations entail risks of claims or litigation relating to product liability, radioactive contamination, patent infringement, trade secret disclosure, warranty claims, vendor disputes, product recalls, property damage, misdiagnosis, breach of contract, personal injury, and death. Any litigation or claims against us, or claims we bring against others, may cause us to incur substantial costs, could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of our management from our core business and harm our reputation. We may incur significant liability in the event of any such litigation, regardless of the merit of the action. If we are unable to obtain insurance, or if our insurance is inadequate to cover claims, our cash reserves and other assets could be negatively impacted. Additionally, costs associated with maintaining our insurance could become prohibitively expensive, and our ability to become or remain profitable could be diminished.

Our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology through patents and other means is uncertain.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary rights to the technologies used in our products. Our pending United States patent applications, which include claims to material aspects of our products and procedures that are not currently protected by issued patents, may not issue as patents in a form that will be advantageous to us. Any patents we have obtained or do obtain may be challenged by re-examination or otherwise invalidated or eventually found unenforceable. Both the patent application process and the process of managing patent disputes can be time consuming and expensive. Competitors may attempt to challenge or invalidate our patents, or may be able to design alternative techniques or devices that avoid infringement of our patents, or develop products with functionalities that are comparable to ours. In the event a competitor

13

infringes upon our patent or other intellectual property rights, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenge, even if successful, could be expensive and time consuming and could require significant time and attention from our management. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenges from others.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents, our Stockholders Rights Plan and Delaware law may prevent or delay removal of current management or a change in control.

Our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws contain provisions that may delay or prevent a change in control, discourage bids at a premium over the market price of our common stock, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. The rights issued pursuant to our Stockholder Rights Plan will become exercisable, subject to certain exceptions, the tenth day after a person or group announces acquisition of 20% or more of our common stock or announces commencement of a tender or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in ownership by the person or group of 20% or more of our common stock. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless certain specific requirements are met as set forth in Section 203. These provisions, alone or together, could have the effect of deterring or delaying changes in incumbent management, proxy contests or changes in control.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our DIS and Diagnostic Imaging segment operations are headquartered in an approximately 47,000 square foot facility in Poway, California that is leased to us until February 2016. We believe that our existing facility is adequate for our current needs. In addition, DIS leases approximately 27 small hub locations in the various states in which we operate, which primarily house our fleet of cameras and vans. The lease terms typically range between one and five years.

Market Information

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "DRAD." The following table presents the high and low per share sale prices of our common stock during the periods indicated, as reported on NASDAQ.

	Year ended December 31,
	2012				2011
	High		Low		High		Low
First Quarter	$	2.18	$	1.81	$	2.63	$	2.13
Second Quarter	2.37		1.99		3.04		2.40
Third Quarter	2.21		1.90		2.91		2.15
Fourth Quarter	2.22		1.95		2.40		1.78

As of January 31, 2013 there were approximately 203 holders of record of our common stock. We believe that the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a large portion of our common stock is held of record through brokerage firms in "street name."

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

None.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

There were no issuer purchases of equity securities during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

On September 18, 2012, our board of directors amended our stock buyback program, originally adopted in February 2009, to permit an additional $2 million of our issued and outstanding common shares to be repurchased.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth previously under the caption “Risk Factors.” This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are one of the largest national providers of in-office nuclear cardiology imaging and ultrasound services to physician practices, hospitals and imaging centers through our Digirad Imaging Solutions (“DIS”) business segment. We also sell medical diagnostic imaging systems including solid-state gamma cameras for nuclear cardiology and general nuclear medicine applications, as well as provide service on the products we sell. We designed and commercialized the first solid-state nuclear gamma camera for the detection of cardiovascular disease and other medical conditions. Our imaging systems are sold in both portable and fixed configurations, and provide enhanced operability, improved patient comfort and, in the case of our triple-headed Cardius^® 3 XPO system, shorter image acquisition time when compared to traditional vacuum tube cameras or our single or dual headed cameras. Our nuclear cameras fit easily into floor spaces as small as seven feet by eight feet and facilitate the delivery of nuclear medicine procedures in a physician’s office, an outpatient hospital setting or within multiple departments of a hospital, (e.g., emergency and operating rooms).

We generate revenues within two primary operating segments: DIS and Diagnostic Imaging. Through DIS, we offer a comprehensive diagnostic imaging services program as an alternative to purchasing a gamma camera or ultrasound equipment for physicians who wish to perform nuclear imaging, echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, or any combination of these procedures in their offices by leasing the imaging system, certified personnel and other support required to perform imaging in the physician’s office. The flexibility of our products and our DIS diagnostic imaging service allows physicians more control over the diagnosis and treatment of their patients in their offices and to retain revenue from procedures they would otherwise refer elsewhere. DIS services are primarily provided to cardiologists, internal medicine physicians and family practice doctors who enter into annual contracts for our diagnostic imaging services delivered on a per-day basis. Our typical contracts provide service coverage ranging from once per month to five times per week. We experience some seasonality in our DIS business related to vacations, holidays and inclement weather. We have been experiencing a significant market change due to the decline in reimbursements to our physicians and the uncertainty with healthcare legislation. This market change may require further adjustments to our business model in order for our physician customers and us to maintain a viable economic model. Our Diagnostic Imaging segment revenue results primarily from selling solid-state gamma cameras and camera maintenance contracts. We sell our imaging systems to physician offices and hospitals primarily in the United States, although we have sold a small number of imaging systems internationally.

On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging business to significantly reduce costs, including a reduction in force. After completion of this planned restructuring, we believe the overall operating cash flow of the Company will increase. However, it is also likely that the long-term volume and total revenue of our Diagnostic Imaging camera sales will decrease. Further, we are assessing as part of the restructuring effort if we will continue to manufacture our products internally or outsource manufacturing to a third party, and to what extent we will continue to manufacture our products. This restructuring will result in certain charges that will be incurred during the quarter ending March 31, 2013, and throughout our fiscal year 2013. We anticipate the restructuring will be substantially complete by December 31, 2013. See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Our Market

The target market for our products and services is comprised of cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, family practice physicians, and hospitals in the United States that perform or could perform nuclear and ultrasound diagnostic imaging procedures. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we provided imaging services through DIS to more than 475 physicians and physician groups. We have sold over 700 cameras through our Diagnostic Imaging segment. More than half of our DIS nuclear and ultrasound diagnostic imaging customers are internal medicine physicians or other primary care practitioners, and the remainder are primarily cardiologists. Our market has been negatively affected by lower physician reimbursements from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and third party providers for the codes under which our physician customers bill for our services, pricing pressures, decreases in radiopharmaceutical isotope supplies and continuing efforts by some third party payers to reduce health care expenditures by requiring physicians to obtain specific accreditations or certifications. We have been addressing and will continue to address these market pressures by modifying our DIS business model, and assisting our physician customers in complying with new regulations and requirements.

18

Trends and Drivers

The medical device industry, including the market for nuclear and ultrasound imaging systems and services, is highly competitive. Our business continues to be affected by many factors, including healthcare reimbursement rates for cardiac imaging procedures, competition from alternative imaging modalities such as positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) angiography, competition from other small owner-operated mobile nuclear imaging providers, declining average selling prices for our product offerings and general uncertainty in the healthcare marketplace. We continue to experience significant market changes due to the fluctuations in reimbursement rates and the uncertainty of healthcare legislation. We also continue to experience a low demand for our cameras, partially due to very limited hospital and physician group capital budgets and the general low economic recovery rate. Based on our recent restructuring announcement, we expect most of these trends to continue in the foreseeable future.

In our DIS segment, our physician customers continue to experience significant uncertainty in reimbursements from CMS and third party providers for the codes under which our physician customers bill for our services. This uncertainty has caused some of our physician customers to sell their practices to a hospital and others to reduce the volume of our service. As a result, we are continuing to modify our offering and pricing for our services upon contract renewal. The uncertainty over the enactment of future legislation that may impact reimbursement rates continues to linger and cause concern with our physician customers. We continue to consider modification to our business model in order to adapt to environmental and regulatory changes in our dynamic healthcare marketplace.

In our Diagnostic Imaging segment, we continue to focus on single photon emission computed tomography, or SPECT, products targeted specifically at the larger physician practices and hospital marketplace. The most widely used imaging acquisition technology utilizing gamma cameras is single SPECT, and all of our current cardiac gamma cameras employ SPECT methodology. Although the National Electrical Manufacturers Association has reported that the dedicated cardiac nuclear market has declined by approximately 70 percent since 2005, according to industry sources (despite the improving image quality and increasing utilization rates of competing modalities such as CT, PET, and MRI, and diagnostic procedures such as CT angiography), SPECT procedures performed with gamma cameras will continue to be used for a substantial number of cardiac-specific imaging procedures. We believe continued utilization will be driven by patients having easier access to nuclear medicine services at physicians’ offices, lower purchase and maintenance costs, a smaller physical footprint, and easier service logistics of gamma cameras. In an emerging trend in cardiology, SPECT technologies are being integrated with other imaging modalities to form hybrid imaging modalities, such as SPECT/CT, resulting in improved clinical quality and diagnostic certainty. On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging business to significantly reduce costs, including a reduction in force. After completion of this restructuring, it is likely that the long-term volume and total revenue of our Diagnostic Imaging camera sales will decrease. Further, we are assessing as part of the restructuring effort if we will continue to manufacture our products internally or outsource manufacturing to a third party, and to what extent we will continue to manufacture our products. See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information.

2012 Financial Highlights

Our consolidated revenues were $50.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This was a decrease of $3.2 million, or 6.0%, over the comparable prior year period. DIS revenue decreased $1.7 million, or 4.6%, primarily due to a reduction in the number of days we scanned for our physician customers coupled with a reduction in our average daily service fee rates. The number of scan days was reduced due to a consolidation in the number of scan days by our physician customers in response to reimbursement uncertainty, in addition to other business factors such as physician pre-certification requirements, making it more difficult for our physician customers to utilize our services. Diagnostic Imaging segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased by $1.5 million, or 9.4%, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the product mix of cameras sold coupled with a decline in camera pricing related to market pricing pressures. The number of cameras sold increased to 29 from 27 during the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We realized a loss from operations and a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily as a result of decreased revenues and gross profit. Our consolidated net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $4.9 million, which is an increase of $1.6 million, or 47.3%, compared to our net loss of $3.3 million during the prior year. The DIS segment generated an operating loss primarily as a result of an anticipated settlement related to radiopharmaceutical litigation. The operating loss in the Diagnostic Imaging segment was primarily attributable to lower gross profit due to the product mix of cameras sold and increased excess and obsolete inventory costs as a result of the restructuring plan discussed in further detail in Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements.

Our DIS business currently operates in 19 states. For the year ended December 31, 2012, DIS operated 65 nuclear gamma cameras and 55 ultrasound imaging systems. We continue to strive to improve our overall profitability through more efficient

19

utilization of our fleet of gamma cameras and ultrasound equipment. We measure efficiency by tracking system utilization, which is measured based on the percentage of days that our nuclear gamma cameras and ultrasound equipment are used to deliver services to customers out of the total number of days that they are available to deliver such services. System utilization increased to 59.8% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 56.1% in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in the quantity of equipment in operation during the year.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates and judgments, the most critical of which are those related to revenue recognition and inventory valuation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenues primarily from providing in-office services to support the performance of cardiac diagnostic imaging procedures and from selling and servicing solid-state digital gamma cameras. We recognize revenue in accordance with the authoritative guidance for revenue recognition, when all of the following four criteria are met: (i) a contract or sales arrangement exists; (ii) products have been shipped and title has transferred or services have been rendered; (iii) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The timing of revenue recognition is based upon factors such as passage of title and risk of loss, the need for installation, and customer acceptance. These factors are based on the specific terms of each contract or sales arrangement.

DIS revenue is derived from our ability to provide our physician customers with our services, which includes use of our imaging system, qualified personnel, and related items required to perform imaging in their own offices and bill Medicare, Medicaid and other payors for in-office nuclear and ultrasound diagnostic imaging procedures. Revenue related to diagnostic imaging services is recognized at the time services are performed and collection is reasonably assured. DIS diagnostic imaging services are generally billed on a per-day basis under annual contracts for nuclear diagnostic imaging, which specifies the number of days of service to be provided, or on a flat rate month-to-month basis for ultrasound imaging.

Diagnostic Imaging product revenues are generated from the sales of gamma cameras and follow-on maintenance service contracts. We generally recognize revenue upon delivery to customers. We also provide installation and training for camera sales in the United States. Installation and training is generally performed shortly after delivery and represents a cost which we accrue at the time revenue is recognized. Neither service is essential to the functionality of the product. Maintenance services are sold beyond the term of the warranty, which is generally one year from the date of purchase. Revenue from these contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the obligation and is included in Diagnostic Imaging product sales.

Reserves for Doubtful Accounts and Billing Adjustments

We provide reserves for billing adjustments and doubtful accounts. We review reserves on a quarterly basis and make adjustments based on our historical experience rate and known collectability issues and disputes. We also consider our bad debt write-off history. Our estimates of collectability could be impacted by material amounts due to changed circumstances, such as a higher number of defaults or material adverse changes in a payor’s ability to meet its obligations. Within DIS, we record adjustments and credit memos that represent billing adjustments within the first 90 days subsequent to the performance of service. A provision for billing adjustments is charged against DIS revenues and a provision for doubtful accounts is charged to general and administrative expenses. Our risk of material loss is mitigated as we only have a small number of customer accounts in both DIS and Diagnostic Imaging that have receivable balances in excess of $100,000.

Inventory

We state inventories at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value) and review our inventory balances for excess and obsolete inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead and variance costs. We rely on historical information to support our reserve and utilize management’s business judgment. Per our policy, we generally reserve 100% of the cost of inventory quantities in excess of a defined period of demand. Once inventory is reserved, we do not adjust the reserve balance until the inventory is sold or disposed.

Fair-value of Financial Instruments

20

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The guidance defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less pricing observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. We have categorized our assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with this guidance. See Note 4 for a further discussion regarding our measurement of assets and liabilities at fair value.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets including Finite Lived Purchased Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets. We record property and equipment at cost, and record other intangible assets based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. We calculate depreciation on property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. We calculate amortization on other intangible assets using either the accelerated or the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, based on the nature of when we expect to receive cash inflows generated by the intangible assets.

Impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. When indicators of impairment exist, we perform a review of the carrying value of our long-lived assets to be held and used, including certain identifiable intangible assets. No impairment losses were recorded on long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010.

Valuation of Goodwill

We review goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, as well as when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We begin the process by assessing qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After performing the aforementioned assessment and upon review of the results of such assessment, we may begin performing step one of the two-step impairment analysis by quantitatively comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with goodwill to the carrying value of its long-term assets. If the carrying value of the long-term assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test, whereby the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to its implied fair value. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recorded. No impairment losses were recorded on goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010.

Restructuring

Restructuring costs are included in loss from operations within the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Losses on property and equipment are recorded consistent with our accounting policy related to long-lived assets. One-time termination benefits are recorded at the time they are communicated to the affected employees. Losses on property lease obligations are recorded when the lease is abandoned.

In response to our ongoing review of current market conditions and internal operations we implemented restructuring activities during the year ended December 31, 2010. The restructuring was complete as of the end of fiscal year 2011.

On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging business. See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation

We grant options to purchase our common stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to our employees and directors under our equity compensation plans. We estimate the fair value of the stock option awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model on the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs is based on the stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments that are expected to vest are recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period. We estimated the forfeiture rate based on historical data for forfeitures and we are recognizing compensation costs only for those equity awards expected to vest.

21

Warranty

We generally provide a 12 month warranty on our gamma cameras. We accrue the estimated cost of this warranty at the time revenue is recorded and charge warranty expense to Diagnostic Imaging cost of revenues. Warranty reserves are established based on historical experience with failure rates and repair costs and the number of systems covered by warranty. Warranty reserves are depleted as gamma cameras are repaired. The costs consist principally of materials, personnel, overhead and transportation. We review warranty reserves quarterly and, if necessary, make adjustments.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with provisions which set forth an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not expected to be realized. In making such a determination, a review of all available positive and negative evidence must be considered, including scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance.

We follow the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 740 - Income Taxes, that defines a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax provision taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The topic also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Under the topic, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision.

Restructuring. On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging business to significantly reduce costs, including a reduction in force. After completion of this planned restructuring, we believe the overall operating cash flow of the Company will increase. However, it is also likely that the long-term volume and total revenue of our Diagnostic Imaging camera sales will decrease. Further, we are assessing as part of the restructuring effort if we will continue to manufacture our products internally or outsource manufacturing to a third party, and to what extent we will continue to manufacture our products. This restructuring will result in certain charges that will be incurred during the quarter ending March 31, 2013, and throughout our fiscal year 2013. We anticipate the restructuring will be substantially complete by December 31, 2013.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

Revenues

Consolidated. Consolidated revenue was $50.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 6.0%, from the prior year period, primarily as a result of a reduction in revenue generated from our DIS business segment and lower camera revenue generated from product sales in our Diagnostic Imaging business segment. DIS revenue accounted for 71.4% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 70.3% for prior year period. We expect DIS revenue to continue to represent the larger percentage of our consolidated revenue.

DIS. Our DIS revenue was $36.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 4.6%, from the prior year period. The decrease resulted from a reduction in the number of days our physician customers utilized our imaging services and a decline in our daily service fee.

Diagnostic Imaging. Our Diagnostic Imaging revenue was $14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 9.4%, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the mix of camera products which were sold to cardiology practices and hospitals. The number of cameras sold increased to 29 from 27 during the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. It is likely that the long-term volume and total revenue of our Diagnostic Imaging camera sales will decrease in the future due to the Diagnostic Imaging restructuring initiative.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Consolidated. Consolidated gross profit was $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 11.3%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in consolidated gross profit is primarily the result of the mix in camera product sales from our Diagnostic Imaging business segment, increased excess and obsolete inventory costs as a result of the Diagnostic Imaging restructuring initiative and fewer imaging days in our DIS business segment, partially offset by lower radiopharmaceutical costs. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 25.9% for the year

23

ended December 31, 2012 from 27.5% for the prior year.

DIS. Cost of DIS revenue consists of labor, radiopharmaceuticals, equipment depreciation, and other costs associated with the provision of services. Cost of DIS revenue was $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 8.0%, from the prior year period, primarily as a result of decreased revenues partially offset by lower radiopharmaceutical costs. DIS gross profit was $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.6 million, or 8.0% , as compared to the prior year period. DIS gross profit as a percentage of DIS revenue increased to 24.3% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 21.5% for the prior year due to lower radiopharmaceutical costs and an improvement in operational performance primarily associated with the management of resources and equipment.

Diagnostic Imaging. Cost of Diagnostic Imaging segment revenue primarily consists of materials, labor and overhead costs associated with the manufacturing and warranty of our products. Cost of Diagnostic Imaging revenues was $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.8 million, or 8.7%, over the prior year period. Diagnostic Imaging gross profit was $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 34.9% as compared to the prior year period. Diagnostic Imaging gross profit as a percentage of Diagnostic Imaging revenue decreased to 29.9% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 41.6% for the prior year primarily due to changes in camera product mix and increased excess and obsolete inventory costs as a result of the restructuring initiative.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses are the costs associated with the design, development and expansion of our existing technology and consist of salaries, development material costs, facility and overhead costs, consulting fees, and non-recurring engineering costs. Research and development expenses were $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $1.0 million, or 35.7% compared to the prior year mainly due to initiatives to explore and develop new products and technologies. Research and development expenses were 25.7% and 17.2% of Diagnostic Imaging revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in Diagnostic Imaging revenue of $1.5 million and the aforementioned exploration of new initiatives. We expect research and development costs to decrease in the future as a result of the Diagnostic Imaging restructuring initiative.

Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, bonuses, recruiting costs, travel, marketing and collateral materials and trade show costs. Marketing and sales expenses were $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 16.0%, compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of lower personnel related costs and marketing support costs. Marketing and sales expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 12.7% and 14.2% for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We expect marketing and sales expenses to decrease in the future as a result of the Diagnostic Imaging restructuring initiative.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for accounting, human resources, information technology and executive personnel, legal related costs, professional fees, outside services, insurance, and costs related to our board of directors. General and administrative expenses were $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.3%, compared to the prior year. General and administrative expenses were 15.5% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 14.4% for the prior year.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Revenues

Consolidated. Consolidated revenue was $53.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 4.3%, from the prior year period, primarily as a result of a reduction in our DIS business segment combined with lower camera sales in our Diagnostic Imaging business segment. DIS revenue accounted for 70.3% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to 70.4% for prior year period.

DIS. Our DIS revenue was $37.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 4.4%, from the prior year period. The decrease resulted from a reduction in our daily lease fee combined with a reduction in the number of days we were able to scan for our physician customers. We reduced our daily lease fee in 2010 to provide more incentive to our physician customers to continue using our services, since CMS reduced reimbursement to the physicians for our diagnostic imaging procedures significantly at the beginning of 2010. We were only able to increase our daily lease fee slightly in 2011. Furthermore, our physician customers reduced the number of days they scanned in 2011, in part due to the lack of patient volume as a result of the poor economy, in part due to the uncertainty in the healthcare marketplace, and in part due to other factors such as physician pre-certification requirements. The worldwide shortage of radiopharmaceuticals, which significantly impacted our business in 2010, was not a factor in 2011 as full medical isotope supply was restored.

Diagnostic Imaging. Our Diagnostic Imaging revenue was $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 4.1%, compared to the prior year period primarily due to a reduction in the number of cameras which were

24

sold to cardiology practices and hospitals. The number of cameras sold decreased to 27 from 34 during the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We believe that economic factors affected our customers' buying decisions, including the uncertainty in the credit markets, a slowing economy, and continued healthcare imaging reimbursement pressures.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Consolidated. Consolidated gross profit was $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $2.8 million, or 22.9%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in consolidated gross profit is primarily the result of improving gross margins in our Diagnostic Imaging and DIS business segments. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 27.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 21.4% for the prior year period.

DIS. Cost of DIS revenue consists of labor, radiopharmaceuticals, equipment depreciation, and other costs associated with the provision of services. Cost of DIS revenue was $29.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 8.9%, from the prior year period, primarily as a result of decreased expenses from fewer scans, more efficient utilization of labor and equipment, aligning labor and revenue by a shift from all full-time (fixed) labor to some part-time (variable) labor, combining certain positions and changing the useful lives of our DIS camera fleet from five years to ten years. This change in lives resulted in a decrease to depreciation expense, included in cost of revenues, of approximately $0.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2011.

DIS gross profit was $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $1.1 million, or 16.3% as compared to the prior year period. DIS gross profit as a percentage of DIS revenue increased to 21.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 17.7% for the prior year due to improvement in operational performance primarily associated with the management of labor and equipment and the change in the useful lives of our DIS camera fleet.

Diagnostic Imaging. Cost of Diagnostic Imaging revenue primarily consists of materials, labor and overhead costs associated with the manufacturing and warranty of our products. Cost of Diagnostic Imaging revenues was $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 19.8%, over the prior year period. Diagnostic Imaging gross profit was $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $1.6 million, or 32.1% as compared to the prior year period. Diagnostic Imaging gross profit as a percentage of Diagnostic Imaging revenue increased to 41.6% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 30.2% for the prior year due to lower excess and obsolete inventory reserves and the sale of certain previously reserved cameras, partially offset by higher manufacturing variances due to a key component supply issue.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development. Research and development expenses are associated with the design, development and enhancement of our products, and consist of salaries, development material costs, facility and overhead costs, consulting fees, and non-recurring engineering costs. We continue to invest in research and development with a focus on innovation as we seek to improve our existing technology. Research and development expenses were $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, representing a decrease of $0.1 million, or 4.8%, compared to the prior year period. Research and development expenses were 17.2% and 17.3% of Diagnostic Imaging revenue for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Marketing and Sales.  Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, bonuses, recruiting costs, travel, marketing and collateral materials and trade show costs and market study. Marketing and sales expenses were $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $1.7 million, or 28.7%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in marketing spend was primarily a result of our decision to invest in a strategic marketing study with a premier healthcare consulting firm. Without that investment, marketing and sales expenses would have remained relatively flat for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for accounting, human resources, information technology and executive personnel, legal related costs, professional fees, outside services, insurance, and costs related to our board of directors. General and administrative expenses were $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 14.1%, compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of lower bad debt reserves and lower legal and consulting services compared to the prior year , as well as our continued efforts to reduce costs and improve efficiencies. General and administrative expenses were 14.4% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 16.0% for the prior year.

Other Income

Other income consists primarily of interest income, net of other expenses. The decrease in other income of $0.2 million is attributable to a decrease in interest rates and a slight decrease in our average cash balance.

25

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We require capital principally for capital expenditures and to finance accounts receivable and inventory, which we manage closely. Our working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes, the timing of deliveries and the payment cycles of our customers. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of nuclear cameras, ultrasound machines, vans, manufacturing and development equipment and computer hardware and software. As of December 31, 2012, we had cash, cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale of $27.2 million. We generally invest our cash reserves in money market funds, U.S. treasury and corporate debt securities. Based upon our current level of expenditures, we believe our working capital, together with cash flows from operating activities, will be adequate to meet our anticipated cash requirements for capital expenditures and working capital for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

The following table shows cash flow information for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012			2011		2010
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(1,082	)	$	965	$	229
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	(2,715	)	$	2,515	$	6,710
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(728	)	$	100	$	(40	)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily related to the increase in net loss and decreases in non-cash charges related to depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and stock based compensation.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to the decreased net loss, increases related to changes in working capital accounts (particularly collection of accounts receivable), partially offset by increases in inventory and decreased non-cash charges related to depreciation, bad debt and other non-cash charges.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investment activities increased by $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. On December 31, 2012, we acquired the operating assets of a nuclear and ultrasound imaging business located in the Southeastern U.S. The total cash used for this acquisition was $475,000. The remaining increased use of cash compared to fiscal year 2011 was primarily attributable to increased net investments in securities available for sale.

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased net proceeds from maturing available-for-sale securities partially offset by lower purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to repurchases of common stock.

Net cash provided financing activities increased by $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to increased stock option exercises.

Contractual Obligations

We are committed to making future cash payments on capital leases (including interest) and operating leases. We have not guaranteed the debt of any other party. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2012 (amounts in thousands):

26

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Operating lease obligations	$	2,723	$	1,104	$	1,481	$	138	$	—

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk due to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the increase or decrease in the value of debt securities in our investment portfolio. Our risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investments in interest rate sensitive financial instruments. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. We attempt to increase the safety and preservation of our invested principal funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by investing in investment grade securities. A 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of our interest sensitive financial instruments. Changes in interest rates over time will increase or decrease our interest income.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Digirad Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Digirad Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Digirad Corporation at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DIGIRAD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. The Company

Digirad Corporation (“Digirad"), a Delaware corporation, is one of the largest national providers of in-office nuclear cardiology imaging and ultrasound services to physician practices, hospitals and imaging centers through our Digirad Imaging Solutions (“DIS”) division. We also sell medical diagnostic imaging systems including solid-state gamma cameras for nuclear cardiology and general nuclear medicine applications, as well as provide service on the products we sell. Digirad has two reportable segments, DIS and Diagnostic Imaging which are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of both segments. Intercompany accounts and transactions are accounted for at cost and have been eliminated in consolidation. All our long-lived assets are located in the United States. Substantially all of our revenues arise from sales activity in the United States. Through DIS, we provide in-office imaging services to physicians, offering certified personnel, required licensure, an imaging system and other support and supplies for the performance of nuclear and ultrasound imaging procedures under the supervision of its physician customers. DIS' physician customers enter into annual service contracts for imaging services generally delivered on a per-day basis. Our Diagnostic Imaging segment sells solid-state gamma cameras and provides camera service and maintenance.

On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging segment. See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information.

NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In addition certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue primarily from providing in-office services to support the performance of cardiac imaging procedures and from selling and servicing solid-state digital gamma cameras. We recognize revenue in accordance with the authoritative guidance for revenue recognition, when all of the following four criteria are met: (i) a contract or sales arrangement exists; (ii) products have been shipped and title has transferred or services have been rendered; (iii) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The timing of revenue recognition is based upon factors such as passage of title and risk of loss, the need for installation, and customer acceptance. These factors are based on the specific terms of each contract or sales arrangement.

DIS revenue is derived from the service of personnel and equipment for in-office nuclear and ultrasound imaging procedures. Revenue related to imaging services is recognized at the time services are performed and collection is reasonably assured. These services are generally billed on a per-day basis under annual contracts, which specify the number of days of service to be provided, or on a flat rate month-to-month basis.

Diagnostic Imaging segment revenue is generated from the sales of gamma cameras and follow-on maintenance service contracts. We generally recognize revenue upon delivery to customers. We also provide installation and training for camera sales in the United States. Installation and training services are generally performed shortly after delivery and represent costs which are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. Neither service is essential to the functionality of the product. Maintenance services are sold beyond the term of the warranty, which is generally one year from the date of purchase. Revenue from these contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period and is included in Diagnostic Imaging sales.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and

33

disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include reserves for doubtful accounts and excess and obsolete inventories, valuations and impairments of long-lived assets and of goodwill, revenue and billing adjustments, warranty costs, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, estimated restructuring charges, and the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. We limit our exposure to credit loss by placing our cash and investments in high credit quality financial institutions and investment grade corporate debt securities. Additionally, we have established guidelines regarding diversification our investments and their maturities, which are designed to maintain principal and maximize liquidity. No single customer represented greater than ten percent of our sales for any of the years presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The guidance defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Our financial instruments primarily consist of cash equivalents, securities available-for-sale, accounts receivable, other current assets, restricted cash, accounts payable and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial instruments generally approximate fair value due to their short term nature. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

Securities Available-for-Sale

Securities available-for-sale primarily consist of investment grade corporate debt securities. We classify all securities as available-for-sale and as current assets, as the sale of such securities may be required prior to maturity to execute management strategies. These securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities, if any, are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is determined to be other than temporary will result in an impairment charge to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. No such impairment charges were recorded for any period presented. It is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell investments before recovery of their amortized costs. As of December 31, 2012, none of our investments have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the straight-line method and are included in interest income. Interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses on investments in securities are included in other income (expense) within the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The following table sets forth the composition of securities available-for-sale as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2012	Maturity in Years	Amortized Cost		Unrealized				Fair Value
				Gains		Losses
Corporate debt securities	3 or less	$	7,662	$	17	$	—	$	7,679

As of December 31, 2011	Maturity in Years	Amortized Cost		Unrealized				Fair Value
				Gains		Losses
Corporate debt securities	2 or less	$	6,380	$	33	$	—	$	6,413

We invest cash in accordance with guidelines which require its investments in marketable securities to meet minimum credit ratings assigned by established credit organizations. We also diversify our investments through specifying maximum investments by instrument type and issuer. It is our policy to invest in instruments that have a final maturity of no longer than three years, with a portfolio weighted average maturity of no longer than 9 months.

34

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Billing Adjustments

Accounts receivable consist principally of trade receivables from customers and are generally unsecured and due within 30 days. Expected credit losses related to trade accounts receivable are recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts within accounts receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheets.

We review reserves on a quarterly basis and makes adjustments based on historical experience and known collectability issues and disputes. Within DIS, we provide reserves for adjustments and credit memos that represent billing adjustments that are normally adjusted within the first 90 days subsequent to the performance of service. A provision for billing adjustments is charged against DIS revenues and a provision for doubtful accounts is charged to general and administrative expenses. When internal collection efforts on accounts have been exhausted, the accounts are written off by reducing the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The following table summarizes our allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (1)			Reserves for Billing Adjustments and Contractual Allowances (2)
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	877		$	413
Provision	832			1,127
Write-offs and recoveries, net	(522		)	(1,128		)
Balance at December 31, 2010	1,187			412

Provision	224			232
Write-offs and recoveries, net	(459		)	(507		)
Balance at December 31, 2012	$	513		$	81

(1) The provision was charged against general and administrative expenses.

(2) The provision was charged against revenue.

Inventory

Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value) and we review inventory balances for excess and obsolete inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. We rely on historical information to support our excess and obsolete reserves and utilize our business judgment with respect to estimated future demand. Per our policy, we generally reserve 100% of the cost of inventory quantities in excess of a defined period of demand. Once inventory is reserved, we do not adjust the reserve balance until the inventory is sold or disposed.

As a result of the restructuring initiative announced on February 28, 2013, we recorded approximately $1.2 million of reserve for excess and obsolete inventory for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The following table summarizes our reserves for excess and obsolete inventory as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

35

	Reserve for Excess and Obsolete Inventories (1)
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	797

Balance at December 31, 2011	1,593
Provision	1,164
Write-offs and scrap	(192		)
Balance at December 31, 2012	$	2,565

(1) The provision was charged against Diagnostic Imaging cost of revenues.

Long-Lived Assets including Finite Lived Purchased Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets. We record property and equipment at cost, and records other intangible assets based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. We calculate depreciation on property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets which average 6 years for machinery and equipment, 3 years for computer hardware and software and the lower of the lease term or an average of 5 years for leasehold improvements. We calculate amortization on other intangible assets using either the accelerated or the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, based on when we expect to receive cash inflows generated by the intangible assets.

Impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. No impairment losses were recorded on long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Valuation of Goodwill

We review goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, as well as when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We begin the process by assessing qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After performing the aforementioned assessment and upon review of the results of such assessment, we may begin performing step one of the two-step impairment analysis by quantitatively comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with goodwill to the carrying value of its long-term assets. If the carrying value of the long-term assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test, whereby the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to its implied fair value. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recorded.

Restricted Cash

As of December 31, 2012, we hold $0.2 million of money market funds that are restricted from withdrawal as they are held as collateral for a letter of credit related to an annual workers' compensation policy.

Restructuring

Restructuring costs are included in loss from operations within the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Losses on property and equipment are recorded consistent with our accounting policy related to long-lived assets. One-time termination benefits are recorded at the time they are communicated to the affected employees. Losses on property lease obligations are recorded when the lease is abandoned.

In response to our ongoing review of current market conditions and internal operations we implemented restructuring activities during the year ended December 31, 2010. The restructuring was complete as of the end of fiscal year 2011.

36

On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging business. See Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

We record all shipping and handling billings to customers as revenue earned for the goods provided. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and totaled $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based awards exchanged for services in accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based payments. Under this guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period.

Warranty

We generally provide a 12 month warranty on our gamma cameras. We accrue the estimated cost of this warranty at the time revenue is recorded and charge warranty expense to Diagnostic Imaging cost of revenues. Warranty reserves are established based on historical experience with failure rates and repair costs and the number of systems covered by warranty. Warranty reserves are depleted as gamma cameras are repaired. The costs consist principally of materials, personnel, overhead and transportation. We review warranty reserves quarterly and, if necessary, make adjustments.

The activities related to our warranty reserve for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Balance at beginning of year	$	297		$	378		$	332
Charges to Diagnostic Imaging cost of revenues	453			708			670
Applied to liability	(424		)	(789		)	(624		)
Balance at end of year	$	326		$	297		$	378

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs for each of the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $0.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares and vested restricted stock units outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares and vested restricted stock units outstanding and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options and non-vested restricted stock units under the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are only included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their effect is dilutive. Shares used to compute basic net loss per share include 221,335, 289,394, and 244,531 vested restricted stock units for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

37

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Net loss	$	(4,924	)	$	(3,342	)	$	(6,214	)
Shares used to compute basic net loss per share	19,274			19,052			18,774
Dilutive potential common shares:
Stock options	—			—			—
Restricted stock units	—			—			—
Shares used to compute diluted net loss per share	19,274			19,052			18,774
Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(0.26	)	$	(0.18	)	$	(0.33	)

Since we incurred net losses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, 403,670, 601,491 and 528,356 common share equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as their effect would be antidilutive.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive loss includes unrealized gains or losses on our marketable securities.

38

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with provisions which set forth an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not expected to be realized. In making such a determination, a review of all available positive and negative evidence must be considered, including scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance.

We follow the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 740 - Income Taxes, that defines a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax provision taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The topic also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Under the topic, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision.

Acquisition

On December 31, 2012, we acquired the operating assets of a nuclear and ultrasound imaging business located in the Southeastern U.S. The total purchase price was $500,000, including forgiveness of a $25,000 note receivable. Of the net purchase price, $340,000 was allocated to intangible assets and $135,000 to property, plant and equipment. The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805: Business Combinations.

Accounting Standards Updates

In June and December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. We adopted this guidance beginning on January 1, 2012. The adoption did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and only resulted in a change to financial statement presentation.

On May 12, 2011 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs" (ASU 2011-04). This update amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure.” ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We adopted this guidance beginning on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 4.  Fair Value Measurements

We categorize our assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities presented at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are generally categorized as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value

40

of the assets or liabilities. Such assets and liabilities may have values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and include instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

As required by the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our assets that were recorded at fair value as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands).

	At Fair Value as of December 31, 2012
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Corporate debt securities	$	—	$	7,679	$	—	$	7,679

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Corporate debt securities	$	—	$	6,413	$	—	$	6,413

Our investments in corporate debt securities are valued based on quoted market prices for identical securities. Some of the corporate debt securities we hold do not trade on a daily basis. For investments that do not trade on a daily basis, we utilize a variety of pricing sources to determine fair value and corroborate the fair value by observing market data prior and subsequent to the balance sheet date.

NOTE 5. Goodwill

Goodwill has been recorded within a reporting unit of our DIS segment since the acquisition of net assets from Ultrascan. As a result of our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded a $2.5 million impairment loss due to a significant decline in its market capitalization, adjusting goodwill to its current carrying value of $0.2 million. We determined the implied fair value of our goodwill utilizing the discounted cash flow method under the income approach. Under the income approach, we derived the fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, which were based on historical data and assumptions pertaining to the market. In performing the 2012 goodwill impairment test, we assessed the relevant qualitative factors and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our goodwill is greater than the carrying amount. After reaching this conclusion, no further testing was performed. The qualitative factors we considered included, but were not limited to, general economic conditions, the industry outlook, our recent and forecasted financial performance and the price of our common stock. No impairment loss was recorded in 2012, 2011 or 2010.

NOTE 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

We are currently leasing its facility which has approximately 47,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space. The lease expires in February 2016. The minimum annual rent on the facility is subject to increases specified in the lease. We are also required to pay taxes, insurance and operating costs under the facility lease. We have the option to renew the lease for two additional three-year options to extend beyond its expiration, which is conditional on our occupation of the entire facility.

We lease facilities and certain automotive equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring from January 1, 2013 through October 31, 2017. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term and those renewal periods that are reasonably assured as determined at lease inception. The difference between rent expense and rent paid is recorded as deferred rent and is included in other liabilities. Rent expense was $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The future minimum rental payments due under non-cancelable operating leases having initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

2014	792
2015	689
2016	120
2017	18
Thereafter	—
Total minimum lease payments	$	2,723

Radiopharmaceutical litigation. We have been engaged in a contractual dispute with our former radiopharmaceutical supplier who alleges that we, along with another radiopharmaceutical supplier, collaborated and breached our supply commitment contract. In March 2013, we entered into negotiations with the former supplier, and believe we are nearing a settlement. Based on this, we estimate the impact to the Company will be approximately $385,000, which we have recorded within other accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2012 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Other matters. In the normal course of business, we have been, and will likely continue to be, subject to litigation or administrative proceedings incidental to its business, such as claims related to customer disputes, employment practices, wage and hour disputes, product liability, professional liability, commercial disputes, licensure restrictions or denials, and warranty or patent infringement. Responding to litigation or administrative proceedings, regardless of whether they have merit, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. As litigation and the administrative proceedings are inherently uncertain, we cannot predict the outcome of such matters. While the ultimate outcome of litigation is always uncertain, we do not believe that any such outcomes will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results.

NOTE 7.  Share-Based Compensation

At December 31, 2012, we have two active stock option plans, the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and the 2011 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), (collectively the “Plans”), under which stock options and restricted stock units may be granted to employees and non-employees, including members of our Board of Directors. Terms of any equity instruments granted under the Plans are approved by the Board of Directors. Stock options typically vest over the requisite service period of two to four years and have a contractual term of seven to ten years. Restricted stock units generally vest over one to three years and must be settled at the earlier of the recipients' termination date or 36 months after grant. Under the Plans, we are authorized to issue an aggregate of 2,750,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2012, the Plans had 179,967 shares available for future issuance. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2004 Plan is subject to increase by any shares under the 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “1998 Plan”) that are forfeited, expire or are canceled up to a maximum of 1,500,000 shares. As of December 31, 2012, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plans was 427,913 shares due to forfeited, expired and canceled shares under the 1998 Plan.

Stock Options

The estimated fair value of our stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model. All stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the common stock on the grant date. The weighted-average grant date fair value of employee stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $1.05, $1.86 and $1.14 per share, respectively, which was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2010
Expected volatility	59	%	62	%	65	%
Expected term (in years)	6.0		6.5		6.1
Risk-free interest rate	1.2	%	1.9	%	2.9	%
Expected dividend yield	—		—		—

The determination of the fair value of stock options using an option valuation model is affected by our stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over a period of time equal to the expected term of the stock options. The expected term of our stock options is based on historical experience. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. We have never declared or paid dividends and have no plans to do so in

42

the foreseeable future.

A summary of our stock option award activity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (In Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic  Value
Options outstanding at December 31, 2011	1,902		$	2.01
Options exercisable at December 31, 2011	1,468		$	2.13
Options granted	500		$	1.94
Options forfeited	(122	)	1.84
Options expired	(85	)	3.61
Options exercised	(410	)	0.73
Options outstanding at December 31, 2012	1,785		$	2.22	4.60	$	801
Options exercisable at December 31, 2012	1,256		$	2.35	4.20	$	732

As share-based compensation expense under the authoritative guidance for share-based payments is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is reduced for estimated forfeitures. The guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

At December 31, 2012, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $0.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Upon exercise, we issue new shares of common stock. Cash received from stock option exercises was $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 and less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. We did not recognize any income tax benefits from stock option exercises as it continues to record a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, as more fully described in Note 8. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was less than $0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Restricted Stock Units

Under guidance for share-based payments, the fair value of our restricted stock awards is based on the grant date fair value of our common stock. All restricted stock units were granted with no purchase price. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the restricted stock units was $1.82, $2.15 and $2.00 per share during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

A summary of our restricted stock unit activity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Non-vested restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2011	284		$	2.15
Granted	50		$	1.82
Forfeited	(55	)	$	2.34
Vested	(164	)	$	2.14
Non-vested restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2012	115		$	1.94

The following table summarizes information about restricted stock units that vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 based on service conditions (in thousands):

43

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2010
Fair value on vesting date of vested restricted stock units	$	350	$	507	$	362

At December 31, 2012, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units was $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Allocation of Share-Based Compensation Expense

Total share-based compensation expense related to all of our share-based units for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was allocated as follows (in thousands):

	Years Ended December 31,
Cost of revenues:	2012		2011		2010
DIS	$	7	$	13	$	26
Diagnostic Imaging	82		99		60
Research and development	78		84		61
Marketing and sales	127		110		113
General and administrative	336		494		614
Share-based compensation expense	$	630	$	800	$	874

Stock Repurchase Program

On September 18, 2012, our board of directors amended our stock buyback program, originally adopted in February 2009, to permit an additional $2 million of its issued and outstanding common shares to be repurchased. As amended, the stock buyback program permits us to purchase an aggregate of $4 million of our common stock. The timing and extent of the repurchase depends upon market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we repurchased 490,816, 9,607 and 25,800 shares of our common stock, respectively, under the stock buyback program. As of December 31, 2012, an aggregate of $1.9 million remains authorized for stock buyback under the program.

NOTE 8. Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2012, we had federal and state income tax net operating loss carry forwards of $95.2 million and $30.1 million, respectively. Federal loss carry forwards of approximately $2.4 million expired in 2012. The remaining loss carry forwards will begin to expire in 2018, unless previously utilized. State loss carry forwards of approximately $3.1 million expired in 2012 and approximately $0.5 million is set to expire in 2013, unless previously utilized. We also have federal and California research and other credit carry forwards of approximately $1.6 million and $2.1 million, as of December 31, 2012, respectively. Approximately $0.2 million of federal credits expired in 2012. The remaining federal credits will begin to expire in 2018. The California research credits have no expiration. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, use of our net operating loss and credit carry forwards may be limited because of a cumulative change in ownership greater than 50% which may have occurred or which may occur in the future. A valuation allowance has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets, as realization of such assets has not met the “more likely than not” threshold required under the authoritative guidance of accounting for income taxes.

Our net deferred tax assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

44

	As of December 31,
	2012			2011
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	34,588		$	34,518
Research and development and other credits	1,836			1,878
Reserves	1,531			1,282
Intangibles	1,908			2,206
Other, net	1,509			1,392
Total deferred tax assets	41,372			41,276
Deferred tax liabilities—depreciation	(441		)	(391		)
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets	(40,931		)	(40,885		)
Net deferred tax assets	$	—		$	—

The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the income tax expense for years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, is less than $0.1 million, respectively, and is included as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Differences between the provision for income taxes and income taxes at the statutory federal income tax rate are as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2010
Income tax benefit at statutory federal rate	(35.0	)%	(35.0	)%	(35.0	)%
State income tax benefit, net of federal benefit	(2.9	)%	(2.7	)%	(2.5	)%
Permanent differences, tax credits and other	3.0	%	(2.0	)%	0.7	%
Change in effective state tax rates	2.4	%	10.3	%	—	%
Expiration of net operating loss carryovers	32.4	%	9.4	%	—	%
Stock compensation expense	—	%	(0.9	)%	12.3	%
Reserve for uncertain tax positions and other reserves	(2.4	)%	3.1	%	0.9	%
Change in valuation allowance	1.0	%	20.3	%	24.6	%
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	(1.5	)%	2.5	%	1.0	%

The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

	December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Balance at beginning of year	$	1,621		$	1,617		$	1,563
Increases related to prior year tax positions	25			30			50
Increases related to current year tax positions	81			42			24
Expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes	(252		)	(48		)	(28		)
Change in valuation allowances	64			(20		)	8
Balance at end of year	$	1,539		$	1,621		$	1,617

Included in the unrecognized tax benefits of $1.5 million at December 31, 2012 was $1.2 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would reduce our annual effective tax rate, subject to the valuation allowance. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. and in various state jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. We are no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007; however, our net operating loss carryforward and research credit carryforwards arising prior to that year are subject to adjustment. Our policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. There were no accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and no interest and penalties were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which reinstated the United States federal research and development tax credit retroactively from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013, was not enacted into law until the first quarter of 2013. Therefore, the expected tax benefit resulting from such reinstatement for 2012 will not be reflected in our estimated annual

45

effective tax rate until 2013.

NOTE 9. Employee Retirement Plan

We have a 401(k) retirement plan under which all full-time employees may contribute up to 100% of their annual salary, within IRS limits. The Company contributions to the retirement plan totaled $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

NOTE 10. Segments

Our reporting segments have been determined based on the nature of the products and/or services offered to customers or the nature of their function in the organization. We evaluate performance based on the operating income (loss) contributed by each segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The majority of our capital expenditures arise at its DIS segment. Segment results are as follows (in thousands):

	Years ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Gross profit by segment:
DIS	$	8,771		$	8,122		$	6,981
Diagnostic Imaging	4,321			6,636			5,023
Consolidated gross profit	$	13,092		$	14,758		$	12,004
Loss from operations by segment:
DIS	$	(48	)	$	(535	)	$	(3,483	)
Diagnostic Imaging	(5,050		)	(2,975		)	(3,107		)
Consolidated loss from operations	$	(5,098	)	$	(3,510	)	$	(6,590	)
Depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets by segment:

Diagnostic Imaging	317			331			453
Consolidated depreciation and amortization	$	2,131		$	3,096		$	4,216
	As of December 31,
	2012			2011
Identifiable assets by segment:

Consolidated assets	$	44,909		$	50,027

NOTE 11. Subsequent Events

On February 28, 2013, we announced a plan to restructure our Diagnostic Imaging business to significantly reduce costs and focus on maximizing cash flow from our DIS service business. This restructuring effort will also include a reduction in force. After completion of this planned restructuring, we believe the overall operating cash flow of the Company will increase. However, it is also likely that the long-term volume and total revenue of our Diagnostic Imaging camera sales will decrease. As a result of this restructuring effort, we estimate that we will incur approximately $1.8 million to $2.3 million (unaudited) in restructuring charges during fiscal year 2013. Included in this estimated range is approximately $1.5 million (unaudited) of employee related costs, while the remaining costs include contract termination costs and other related costs.

On February 27, 2013, our board of directors modified our stock buyback program to increase repurchases to an aggregate of $7 million, and subsequently, on March 13, 2013, increased the stock buyback program again for repurchases of up to an aggregate of $12 million.

NOTE 12. Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

47

As required by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only a management’s report in this report.
