9. Continuing Operations

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Based on the following transactions, the Company expects that these transactions will provide the Company with sufficient cash to fund its operations over the next 12 months.

On October 3, 2012 the Company sold its Clinical Diagnostics Business to ERBA Diagnostics, Inc. The ECD consisted of Drew Scientific, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries JAS and Drew Scientific Limited Co. The sales price was $6,500,000 in cash and the transaction generated a gain on sale of approximately $2,717,000.

On October 18, 2012, the Company and its debt holder reached an agreement whereby the Company paid the balance of the seller-provided financing plus accrued interest related to the purchase of certain assets of Biocode of $4,367,604 with a one-time payment of $2,487,480 resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,880,124. The repayment of the debt has reduced the Company's debt related to Biocode to zero.

As a result of these transactions the Company realized total gains of $4,019,000 before tax during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 including $(578,422) of cumulative translation adjustment reversal related to the ECD segment. The total gain brought the Company back into compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b).

On June 29, 2012, the Company received a letter from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement under the NASDAQ Listing Rules (the "Listing Rules"). The Listing Rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. If a NASDAQ-listed company trades below the minimum bid price requirement for 30 consecutive business days, it is notified of the deficiency. Based upon the Staff's review, the Company no longer meets this requirement. The Listing Rules provide the Company with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 26, 2012 in which to regain compliance with this requirement. The Company was not in compliance at the end of the 180-day compliance period and sought and received a hearing with the NASDAQ Staff to discuss its plan to reach compliance. The meeting was scheduled to take place on March 5, 2013. On January 17, 2013, the Company was advised by NASDAQ that the bid price deficiency of the Company was cured, and that the Company is currently in compliance with all applicable listing standards.
