Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On September 17, 2001, Registrant completed an acquisition transaction
(the "Merger") contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among
AccuMed International, Inc. ("AccuMed"), a Delaware corporation, AccuMed
Acquisition Corp. ("Acquisition Sub"), a Delaware corporation, and Registrant,
dated as of February 7, 2001, as amended, pursuant to which AccuMed merged with
and into Acquisition Sub, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant.
In consideration for the Merger, Registrant issued 3,760,742 shares of
its common stock, par value $.001 per share, to the holders of AccuMed common
stock and 572,485 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$.001 per share, to holders of AccuMed's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
AccuMed stockholders received .6552 of a share of Registrant's common stock for
each share of AccuMed common stock they owned immediately prior to the Merger,
and one share of Registrant's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for each
share of AccuMed Series A Convertible Preferred Stock they owned immediately
prior to the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the former stockholders of
AccuMed own approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
Registrant, and 100% of the outstanding shares of Registrant's Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
AccuMed International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AccuMed
International, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2000. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AccuMed
International, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in a
three-year period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations and has a working capital deficiency that raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

ACCUMED INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
AccuMed International, Inc. and subsidiary ("AccuMed") engage in the
development and marketing of cost effective screening instruments and systems
for clinical diagnostic laboratories, hospitals and others. These activities are
conducted primarily in the United States and Canada. AccuMed markets its
products primarily to the cytopathology and immunohistochemistry laboratory
markets. Our integrated systems use reliable, accurate and innovative products
and methods to provide laboratories with comprehensive solutions that are
intended to improve efficiency and reduce costs while achieving significant
improvements in disease detection. AccuMed operates in one business segment and
substantially all of its assets are located in the United States.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AccuMed
International, Inc. and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Oncometrics
Imaging Corp. ("Oncometrics"). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On December 22, 1998, (the measurement date), AccuMed received shareholder
approval to sell its microbiology division under a sales agreement negotiated by
management under the approval of the board of directors. On January 29, 1999,
AccuMed closed the sale of the microbiology division for proceeds of
$15,150,000. AccuMed recognized a gain of $8,357,000, net of income taxes of
$140,000 and after working capital adjustments, on the disposal of the
microbiology division. Accordingly, the microbiology division is accounted for
as a discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets,
statements of operations and statements of cash flows.
Reverse Stock Split
On May 19, 1998, the stockholders approved a reverse one-for-six stock
split, which was affected by the Board of Directors as of May 21, 1998. The
reverse split covered all outstanding common shares and all agreements
concerning stock options, warrants, convertible notes and other commitments
payable in shares of AccuMed's common stock. All references to per-share
information in the accompanying financial statements and notes to the
consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse
split on a retroactive basis.
2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
AccuMed has incurred, and continues to incur, losses from operations and
has a working capital deficiency. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999,
and 1998, AccuMed incurred net losses from continuing operations of $3,098,000,
$6,803,000, and $10,360,000, respectively. At December 31, 2000, AccuMed has a
working capital deficiency of $812,000, and its available resources are not
presently sufficient to fund its expected cash requirements through the end of
2001. These conditions raise substantial doubt about AccuMed's ability to
continue as a going concern.
In 2000 and early 2001, management of AccuMed implemented strategies to
reduce losses from operations and cash used in operating activities. These
strategies have included a reduction in personnel, curtailment of certain
research and development efforts, and cutting of discretionary expenditures. On
February 7, 2001, AccuMed entered into a merger agreement with Ampersand Medical
Corporation ("Ampersand"). As a result of the signing of the merger agreement
with Ampersand, AccuMed has received in 2001 an aggregate of $695,000 in
advances from Ampersand to be used for working capital purposes. The merger
agreement requires additional advances of $225,000 per month from Ampersand in
April and May 2001. The Ampersand advances will be dissolved upon the
consummation of the merger or will be due and payable upon the earliest of May
31, 2001 or the termination of the merger agreement. The due date for repayment
of these advances may be extended upon mutual agreement of AccuMed and
Ampersand. Through February 28, 2001, AccuMed has collected $300,000 on $500,000
of notes due from MonoGen, Inc. ("MonoGen") as of December 31, 2000. The
remaining amount of $200,000 due from MonoGen is payable on March 31, 2001.
Development milestone payments in the aggregate amount of $400,000 are scheduled
to be received in 2001 from Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. ("Ventana") under
AccuMed's license and development agreement with Ventana. In addition, AccuMed
expects to begin shipping licensed product to Ventana beginning in the fourth
quarter of 2001.
Management expects the merger agreement with Ampersand to be consummated in
the second quarter of 2001. If AccuMed is not able to consummate the merger
agreement with Ampersand, or if MonoGen or Ventana are not able to meet their

payment obligations to AccuMed, or the development timetable with Ventana is not
met or is substantially delayed, AccuMed would be required to pursue other
strategies to maintain its liquidity. These strategies would include
substantially curtailing its development and marketing efforts, liquidation of
its inventories and technology portfolio, or cessation of operations. This would
materially and adversely affect AccuMed's business, financial condition, results
of operations, and cash flows.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
Product revenue is recognized when products have been shipped, and the
customer has made final acceptance. Fees earned from the use of AccuMed's
products on a per-use basis are recognized as revenue in the period that the
related equipment is used. The cost of products shipped under per-use contracts
is expensed in the period that it is installed and accepted by the customer.
Fees that are received up-front for licenses are deferred and recognized as
revenue systematically over the term of the related agreement. Royalty payments
that are received in advance are deferred and recognized as revenue during the
period that the royalties are earned on the sale of covered products. Funds
received under contractual development obligations are deferred. Qualifying
development costs incurred during the development process are charged against
the deferred development funds received. The excess amount of development funds,
if any, over the amount of qualifying costs incurred is recognized in income
upon the completion of the development process. Contractual development costs in
excess of the amount of development funds received are charged to operations as
incurred.
Net (Loss) Income per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing net (loss)
income by the average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted net (loss) income per share is calculated by adjusting outstanding
shares, assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. As a
result of AccuMed's losses from continuing operations, the dilutive effect of
outstanding convertible preferred stock, warrants, stock options, and a note
convertible into common stock has been excluded from the diluted share base due
to their antidilutive effect. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and
1998, diluted net (loss) income per share excludes a total of 3,376,849,
3,761,856, and 3,692,133 shares, respectively, issuable upon the conversion of
preferred stock, warrants, stock options, and the convertible note.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of Oncometrics, AccuMed's Canadian subsidiary, are
measured using the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Assets and
liabilities of Oncometrics are translated using current exchange rates. Revenues
and expenses are translated using average exchange rates for the related period.
The resulting cumulative translation adjustment is recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains
and losses are included in the results of operations as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash held by financial institutions and
money market fund investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and finished product and are
stated at the lower of cost (average cost) or market. Cost is determined by the
first-in first-out method (FIFO). In 1999, AccuMed reduced the carrying value of
inventories by $1,106,399 based on management's estimate of the recoverability
of the inventories. This write-down was recorded as a charge to cost of sales in
the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Available-for-Sale Security
The available-for-sale security is reported at fair market value.
Unrealized gains and losses on the available-for-sale security are excluded from
earnings and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) within stockholders' equity until realized.

ACCUMED INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and
equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided on the
straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the
improvement or the term of the lease. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged to operations when incurred.
Purchased Technology
Purchased technology consists principally of values assigned to acquired
proprietary technology. Such amounts are being amortized on a straight-line
basis over the expected periods to be benefited, generally 10 years.
Patents
The cost of patents is amortized straight line over the estimated useful
lives of the patent, generally 17 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
AccuMed accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This Statement
requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles be reviewed for
impairment whenever events of changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. 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 fair value of the
assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to the difference between the financial statement
carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Warranty
Estimated future warranty obligations related to certain products are
provided by charges to operations in the period in which the related revenue is
recognized.
Use of Estimates
Management of AccuMed has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Estimates are used when accounting for the
allowance for un-collectable accounts receivable, inventory valuation,
depreciation, warranty costs, income taxes and contingencies, among others.
Actual results could be materially different from those estimates.

4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are carried at estimated net realizable value. At
December 31, 2000 and 1999, AccuMed had provided no allowances for doubtful
accounts as the carrying value of accounts receivable approximated their net
realizable value. Bad debt expense was zero for each of the years ended December
31, 2000 and 1999 and $337,353 for the year ended December 31, 1998.
5. NOTES RECEIVABLE
On December 29, 2000, AccuMed and Oncometrics entered into agreements with
MonoGen for the license of certain proprietary technology. Promissory notes in
the aggregate amount of $500,000 were issued as consideration for the license
fees due under the agreements. The notes are due in aggregate non-interest
bearing installments of $100,000 on January 3, 2001, $100,000 on January 31,
2001, $100,000 on February 28, 2001, and $200,000 on March 31, 2001. The notes
are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at the present value of the future
cash flows using an interest rate of 9.5%. At December 31, 2000, the carrying
amount of these notes is $492,772.
Under an amendment to AccuMed's patent and technology license agreement
with Ampersand, AccuMed received a $100,000 convertible promissory note from
Ampersand. The note was originally due on March 29, 2001 and earned interest at
a rate of 11.0% per annum. The full amount of the note was repaid on December
12, 2000.
On November 16, 1999, AccuMed entered into a merger agreement with
Microsulis Corporation ("Microsulis"), which was subsequently terminated on
February 28, 2000. At December 31, 1999, AccuMed had advanced $400,000 under a
line of credit to Microsulis. On March 31, 2000, AccuMed received $417,747,
including interest, in full satisfaction of the amounts advanced to Microsulis.
AccuMed has no obligation to make further advances to Microsulis.
6. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITY
On December 4, 1998, AccuMed received 85,776 common shares of Bell National
Corporation, ("Bell"), a public shell corporation, and warrants to purchase an
additional 63,517 common shares of Bell at a price of $0.001 per share in
exchange for its 2,000 membership units of InPath, L.L.C., a privately held
company. No value was assigned to the Bell shares received because the
underlying market value of Bell at the date of the transaction was deminimus. On
May 26, 1999, AccuMed exercised all of the warrants. Also on this date, Bell was
merged into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ampersand Medical Corporation. As a
result of this merger, AccuMed's shares of Bell were exchanged for an equal
number of shares of Ampersand, resulting in AccuMed having a 1% interest in
Ampersand. At the date of this merger, no value was assigned to the Ampersand
shares because the fair value of the shares was determined to be deminimus. At
December 31, 1999, the underlying market value of the shares was recorded in the
financial statements based on the lapse of certain sale restrictions and
AccuMed's sale of shares in the open market.
During 2000, AccuMed received an additional 128,571 common shares of
Ampersand upon the amendment of AccuMed's patent and technology license
agreement with Ampersand. These shares were recorded at a fair market value of
$257,142 on their date of issuance.
A total of 85,776 shares of Ampersand stock were sold during 2000 on the
open market for proceeds of $331,574. A realized gain on the sale of these
shares of $331,574 has been recorded in the statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2000.
AccuMed's investment in Ampersand shares is as follows at December 31:

============ ==========
As a result of the signing of a letter of intent to merge with Ampersand on
September 22, 2000, AccuMed received an aggregate of $330,000 in advances from
Ampersand in the form of a note payable. The note bears interest at a rate of
prime, plus 2.5%, per annum and was converted into a new $800,000 note upon the
signing of a definitive merger agreement with Ampersand on February 7, 2001. See
Note 19 Subsequent Events.
The floating rate convertible note payable, which is denominated in
Canadian dollars ($217,855 Canadian at December 31, 2000), is due on demand, or
in the event not called, principal payments are required at a rate of $25,000
U.S. dollars per month, plus interest at a rate of 6.0% over the Canadian prime
rate. The note is convertible into shares of AccuMed's common stock at a price
of $1.43 per share.
The repayable contribution was received under a Canadian government program
and calls for semi-annual installments based on sales of product and available
funds. At December 31, 2000, AccuMed was past due in making certain of its
payment obligations under this program. As a result, AccuMed's repayment
obligation is callable.
Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years

ACCUMED INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 2000, AccuMed had approximately $36,483,000 and $20,667,000
in net operating losses for federal and state tax purposes, respectively,
available to be carried forward to future periods. The carry forwards expire
from 2006 to 2020 for federal purposes and from 2012 to 2020 for state purposes.
AccuMed's credits for research and development available to offset future
federal income taxes expire from 2002 to 2014.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income,
and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Based upon the level of historical taxable losses and projections for
future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are
deductible, management believes it is more likely than not AccuMed will not
realize the benefits of these deductible differences. In addition, utilization
of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits
available to offset future taxable income may be subject to annual limitations
as a result of previous changes in ownership of the AccuMed. Accordingly,
management of AccuMed has provided a valuation allowance equal to its recorded
deferred tax assets. The net change in the valuation allowance for the years
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was an increase of $1,155,000 and a decrease of
$1,322,000, respectively.
13. LEASES
Operating Leases
AccuMed leases its facility under an operating type lease expiring in 2004.
Rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
lease. As a result of AccuMed's consolidation of certain of its facilities and
re-negotiation of its leasing arrangements, AccuMed recorded an expense in 1999
for the write-off of $137,211 in net book value of impaired leasehold
improvements. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, accounts payable and other current
liabilities include an accrual of $68,915 and $103,247, respectively, for rent
concessions as part of the re-negotiated leasing arrangements. Total rental
expense under operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998 was $251,000, $531,000 and $379,000, respectively.

shares of common stock. During 1998, 283,236 shares of Series A convertible
preferred stock were converted into 188,824 shares of common stock. AccuMed
issued a note in 1998 for $342,550 in connection with the purchase of a

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The company is involved in a legal proceeding with a certain vendor
regarding a dispute over delivery of services. AccuMed has recorded an estimated
accrual of $393,000 relating to the probable settlement of these legal
proceedings. See Note 9, Other Current Liabilities.
16. LICENSE AGREEMENTS
On March 24, 2000, AccuMed entered into a license and development agreement
with Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., whereby AccuMed agreed to license its
patents and proprietary information and rights to Ventana for certain medical
applications. Under the terms of the agreement, AccuMed has received and
deferred an up-front licensing fee, advance royalty payment, and development
funds. Additional development funds will be received over the next twelve months
for contract research. The agreement also provides for the sale of AcCell(TM)
Systems to Ventana and royalties to be received in the future on the sale of
covered products by Ventana. The deferred up-front licensing fee is being
recognized as revenue systematically over the 36-month term of the agreement.
The advance royalty payment will be recognized as revenue during the period that
the royalties are earned on the sale of covered products. AccuMed is required
under the agreement to complete certain development obligations. Qualifying
development costs incurred during the development process are being charged
against the deferred development funds received. The excess amount of
development funds, if any, over the amount of qualifying costs incurred will be
recognized in income upon the completion of the development process. AccuMed
does not anticipate that any excess development funds will be material.
On March 29, 2000, the Company entered into a patent and technology license
agreement with BCAM International, Inc., renamed CellMetrix, Inc.
("CellMetrix"), whereby AccuMed agreed to license its patents and proprietary
information and rights to CellMetrix for certain medical applications. Under the
terms of the agreement, AccuMed received a guaranteed license fee upon signing
of the agreement. The amount of the guaranteed license fee received was deferred
and being recognized over the 60-month term of the agreement. Effective
September 1, 2000, AccuMed and CellMetrix mutually agreed to terminate the
license agreement. As a result of the termination, the carrying amount of the
deferred licensing fees of $229,000 was recognized as other income in the
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. AccuMed is not
required to refund any portion of the guaranteed license fee it received and has
no further performance commitments under this terminated agreement.
On March 29, 2000, AccuMed also entered into a letter agreement to
reinstate and amend its September 4, 1998 patent and technology license
agreement with Ampersand. Upon signing of the letter agreement, AccuMed received
an up-front license fee. On June 9, 2000, AccuMed signed a formal amendment to
the agreement and received an advance royalty in the form of cash. AccuMed also
received a $100,000 convertible note and 128,571 shares of Ampersand common
stock as an additional advance royalty. AccuMed has deferred the amount of the
up-front license fee it received. This fee is being recognized as revenue
systematically over the remaining 41-month term of the agreement. The advance
royalties are being recognized as revenue during the period that the royalties
are earned on the sale of covered products.
On December 29, 2000, AccuMed and Oncometrics entered into agreements to
license their patents and intellectual property to MonoGen for certain medical
applications. Promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $500,000 were issued
by

ACCUMED INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Monogen as consideration for the up-front license fees due under the agreements.
The up-front license fees have been deferred and will be recognized as revenue
in the first quarter of 2001 upon the completion by AccuMed of its obligations
under the agreements.
17. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On February 2, 1998 a director/stockholder loaned AccuMed $1,000,000 at 12%
annual interest plus 16,667 5-year warrants to purchase common stock at an
exercise price of $9.36 per share. The loan was converted into common stock
under the terms of a private placement of common stock in March 1998 and the
exercise price of the warrants were re-priced to $4.50 per share.
18. DEBT EXTINGUISHMENT
In 1998, AccuMed incurred an extraordinary loss of $1,168,080 related to
the exchange of $5,275,000 in principal amount of its 12% convertible notes into
Series A convertible preferred stock. This loss included stock, warrants and
fees paid to the placement agent, warrants issued as an inducement to the
converting noteholders, and the write-off of a proportional amount of deferred
financing costs associated with the issuance of the convertible notes. The
placement agent received fees of $175,000, 8,334 shares of common stock valued
at $40,000, 7-year warrants to purchase 58,334 shares of common stock at $6.75
per share valued at $84,000, and repricing of previously issued 4-year warrants
to purchase 33,334 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $18.75 per
share to $6.75 per share, valued at $26,000. The converting noteholders received
3-year warrants to purchase 207,557 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $6.75 per share, valued at $37,380.
AccuMed utilized the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair
value of warrants issued. The following assumptions were incorporated into the
model: risk-free rate - 6%, expected volatility - 30%, and expected dividend -
zero. The risk-free rate is determined based on the interest rate of U.S.
government treasury obligations with a maturity date comparable to the life of
the warrant issued. Other assumptions, relating to warrant life, strike price
and stock price, were determined at the date the warrant was issued.

On February 7, 2001, AccuMed signed an agreement to merge with Ampersand.
Under the terms of the agreement, holders of AccuMed's common stock will receive
0.6552 of a share (subject to adjustment) of Ampersand common stock in exchange
for each share of AccuMed common stock. Each share of AccuMed's Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock will be exchanged for one share of preferred stock
of Ampersand that will be convertible into Ampersand common stock. Consummation
of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval
of AccuMed's stockholders, and the registration of the Ampersand common shares
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Closing of the merger is expected
to occur in the second quarter of 2001.
On February 7, 2001, AccuMed received a $470,000 advance from Ampersand to
be used for working capital purposes. AccuMed issued a note payable of $800,000,
which includes $330,000 of previously advanced funds, to Ampersand. On March 1,
2001, AccuMed received an additional advance of $225,000 from Ampersand and
issued a corresponding note payable. These notes bear interest at prime, plus
2.5%, and are secured by AccuMed's inventory and a certain customer contract.
These notes will be dissolved upon the consummation of the merger or will be due
and payable upon the earliest of May 31, 2001 or the termination of the merger
agreement. The due date of the note may be extended upon mutual agreement of the
parties.

On April 10, 2001, AccuMed and Oncometrics assigned to MonoGen, Inc. all of
our rights under our contracts with the Cooperative Research Centre for Sensor
Signal and Information Processing, Sakura Finetechnical Co., Ltd., and Tokyo
Medical University for $35,000. This amount was recognized as licensing revenue
in the second quarter of 2001. We have no continuing obligations under these
contracts.
On December 29, 2000, we entered into license agreements with Monogen and
received $500,000 of notes receivable as consideration for the license fees due
under the agreements. In the first quarter of 2001, we collected the balance due
under these notes in full. Since we completed all of our obligations under the
agreements, we recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2001 the total
amount of the license fees received of $491,012, net of interest imputed on the
notes.
7. SETTLEMENT OF MERRILL CORPORATION LITIGATION
In June 1997, Merrill Corporation filed a complaint against AccuMed in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The complaint alleged that AccuMed
entered into a contract for printing services and failed to pay for the services
rendered. AccuMed alleged that the invoices submitted to it were inaccurate and
excessive, and that Merrill did not perform all of the services for which it
purported to charge AccuMed. Merrill sought an award of $430,033, plus interest,
attorneys' fees and costs.
On May 10, 2001, a settlement was reached with Merrill. AccuMed agreed to
pay Merrill an aggregate of $312,000 in cash in twelve installments of $26,000
per month from May 2001 through April 2002, with interest at a rate of 10% due
with the final installment. In the second quarter of 2001, we adjusted our
accrued liability for this contingency and recorded a gain of $30,000 on the
settlement, which is included in other income in the statement of operations.
8. PENDING MERGER
On February 7, 2001, we signed an agreement to merge with Ampersand Medical
Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, holders of our common stock will
receive 0.6552 of a share (subject to adjustment) of Ampersand common stock for
each share of AccuMed common stock held. Each share of our Series A convertible
preferred stock will be exchanged for one share of Ampersand's preferred stock
that will be convertible into Ampersand's common stock. Consummation of the
merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of
AccuMed's stockholders, and the registration of the Ampersand common stock with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The termination date for the merger was
automatically extended to September 30, 2001. We expect the merger to close in
the third quarter of 2001.
-25-
27
Through June 30, 2001, we have received an aggregate of $1,500,000 of
working capital advances from Ampersand. The notes for these advances bear
interest at prime plus 2.5% and are secured by our inventory and certain
customer contracts. These notes will be dissolved upon consummation of the
merger or will be due and payable upon the termination of the merger agreement.
The due date of the notes may be extended upon mutual agreement of the parties.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 5, 2001 and August 8, 2001, AccuMed received additional advances of
$100,000 each from Ampersand. The notes for these advances are on terms
consistent with the previous Ampersand advances.
On July 27, 2001, AccuMed advanced $100,000 to Ampersand for a note
receivable. The note, plus interest, was originally due on August 3, 2001 and
earns interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The parties agreed to extend the
maturity date of the note to August 28, 2001. As consideration for the
extension, Ampersand agreed that if it fails to repay the principal and interest
when due, Ampersand will release its security interest in twenty-five AcCell
instruments to permit the sale of such instruments by AccuMed. As additional
consideration for the note, Ampersand agreed to pay a note origination fee of
$10,000 which is due and payable on August 31, 2001. Any amount that Ampersand
fails to pay AccuMed in the form of principal, interest, or note origination fee
when due will be offset against amounts owed by AccuMed to Ampersand under a
February 7, 2001 secured promissory note.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO-FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
The following represents the components of the purchase price of AccuMed
for financial accounting purposes (in thousands):
Fair value of 3,760,742 shares of Ampersand common
stock exchanged for outstanding AccuMed common
stock................................................. $6,243
Fair value of 572,485 shares of Ampersand Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock exchanged for outstanding
AccuMed Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.......... 415
Fair value of stock options exchanged:
Vested options....................................... 884
Unvested options..................................... 1
Fair value of warrants exchanged....................... 1,739
Estimated direct acquisition costs to be incurred by
Ampersand............................................. 450
------
Total purchase price................................. $9,732
======
The fair value of the common stock issued in the merger of $1.66 per share
was based on the average market value of Ampersand common stock during the
period commencing three days before and ending three days after the announcement
date of the acquisition. The fair value of stock options exchanged was
determined on a grant-by-grant basis using the Black-Scholes model and the
following assumptions:
- stock price of $1.66;
- volatility of 216%;
- dividend rate of zero;
- risk-free rate of return ranging from 5.0% to 6.0% depending on the date
of the grant; and
- expected life ranging from .08 to 8.83 years depending on the vesting
status.
The total number of shares pertaining to stock options assumed to be
exchanged was 550,269, of which 441,178 were vested and 109,091 were unvested.
The intrinsic value of the unvested employee stock options is recorded in the
purchase accounting as deferred compensation to be amortized over the remaining
vesting period. The fair value of warrants exchanged pertaining to 1,128,197
shares was determined using the Black-Scholes model and the following
assumptions:
- stock price of $1.66;
- volatility of 216%;
- dividend rate of zero;
- risk-free rate of return ranging from 5.0% to 6.0% depending on the date
of the grant; and
- expected life equal to the remaining contractual term of each warrant.
The following represents the preliminary allocation of the total purchase
price to the estimated fair values of acquired assets and liabilities of AccuMed
at June 30, 2001 and is for illustrative purposes only. For purposes of this
pro-forma presentation, the excess of the purchase price over the historical
book value of net assets acquired has been allocated to license, patents and
technology. Upon consummation of the merger, the fair value of the acquired
licenses, patents and technology will be determined for purposes of the actual
allocation. Assuming the transaction occurred on June 30, 2001, the purchase
accounting allocation would have been as follows (in thousands):
Historical book value of net assets acquired................ $1,349
Historical deferred revenue of AccuMed included in the net
assets acquired above, excluded from purchase price....... 454
------
1,803
License, patents and technology............................. 7,978
Liability for acquisition costs incurred by AccuMed......... (50)
Deferred compensation....................................... 1
------
Total purchase price.............................. $9,732
======

The purchase accounting allocation summarized above is reflected in the
following pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2001:
a. To record Ampersand's investment in AccuMed equal to the total purchase
price summarized above (including the $450 of direct acquisition costs
incurred by Ampersand) and to record as license, patents and technology
the excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the net
assets acquired resulting from the purchase accounting for AccuMed. The
amount allocated to license, patents and technology has an indefinite
useful life. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business
Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the
amount allocated to license, patents and technology will not be
amortized but reviewed annually, or more frequently if impairment
factors arise, for impairment.
b. To eliminate the note payable of AccuMed to Ampersand.
c. To eliminate the accrued interest on the note payable of AccuMed to
Ampersand.
d. To remove license fees and royalties paid to AccuMed by Ampersand
recorded by Ampersand and related deferred revenue as recorded by
AccuMed.
e. To remove AccuMed's investment in Ampersand common stock.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO-FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
f. To eliminate AccuMed sales to Ampersand.
g. To eliminate license fees and royalties recognized by AccuMed from a
license agreement between AccuMed and Ampersand.
h. To eliminate AccuMed's cost of goods sold related to sales between the
companies.
i. To eliminate license fees and royalties as recorded by Ampersand from a
license agreement between AccuMed and Ampersand.
j. To eliminate interest income and interest expense on notes payable by
AccuMed to Ampersand.
k. To eliminate AccuMed's realized gain on available for sale security from
the sale of Ampersand common stock.

CONSENT OF KPMG LLP
The Board of Directors
AccuMed International, Inc.:
We hereby consent to the incorporation by reference in the registration
statement on Form S-2 of our report dated March 8, 2001, relating to the
consolidated balance sheets of AccuMed International, Inc. and subsidiary as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000,
which report appears in Form 8-K filed by Molecular Diagnostics, Inc.
Our report dated March 8, 2001 contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a
working capital deficiency, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
