EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Alere Inc. (the “Company”) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 (the “Quarterly Period”), as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 7, 2014 (the “Original Report”), is being filed to restate the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the Quarterly Period and to revise related disclosures, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the Quarterly Period. Concurrently with the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, the Company is also filing Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Annual Period”), as originally filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015 (the “Original 2014 Annual Report”), to provide similar updates.

This Form 10-Q/A includes restated financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, this Form 10-Q/A includes revised, but not restated, financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and as of December 31, 2013, to reflect certain uncorrected errors previously deemed immaterial. Further, we assessed the materiality of the errors in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, and concluded that these errors were not material to the consolidated financial statements as of and for each of three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and as of December 31, 2013. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the consolidated financial statements have been revised as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and as of December 31, 2013, in this filing. Refer to Note 2, Revision of Previously Reported Amounts, in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information about this revision. In addition to the correction of errors, this Form 10-Q/A reflects certain uncorrected errors previously deemed immaterial and the effect of discontinued operations, as if the divestitures of our health management business in January 2015 and the ACS Companies in October 2014 had occurred prior to the periods reflected herein.

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 5, 2015, on May 1, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, after considering the recommendations of management, concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other financial data for the Annual Period and all interim periods therein (the “Non-Reliance Periods”), as reported in the Original 2014 Annual Report and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed on May 6, 2014, August 6, 2014 and November 7, 2014, should not be relied upon because of errors identified therein. Following the completion of the Company’s review of those errors and related matters, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors determined that the consolidated financial statements and other financial information in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed on May 6, 2014 and August 6, 2014 did not require any restatement and could therefore be relied upon as originally filed, in all material respects. The Company’s consolidated financial statements (including audit reports), other financial information and related disclosures included in the Original 2014 Annual Report and the Original Report, as well as press releases, investor presentations or other communications issued prior to the date hereof that relate to the Non-Reliance Periods should not be relied upon and are superseded in their entirety by this Form 10-Q/A and the Form 10-K/A being filed concurrently herewith.

As more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the errors that caused the Audit Committee to conclude that the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other financial information for the Non-Reliance Periods should not be relied upon were identified during the course of preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The errors corrected by the restatements relate primarily to the accounting for deferred taxes related to the Company’s discontinued operations, including in connection with the divestiture of the health management business which was completed in January 2015 and the ACS Companies divestiture which was completed in October 2014. The error in the accounting for deferred taxes associated with the health management business divestiture was primarily due to the incorrect determination of the book and tax basis of the businesses sold and other tax attributes of the transaction that resulted in an incorrect determination of realizable deferred tax assets and the resulting tax benefit that was recorded in discontinued operations in the three months ended December 31, 2014. The error in accounting for the ACS Companies divestiture was primarily due to the failure to record deferred taxes associated with the reversal, in the three months ended September 30, 2014, of contingent consideration that originated from a taxable business combination.

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Report in its entirety, however, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only the following items of the Original Report:

This Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only the following items of the Original Report:

Part I. Financial Information

 

    Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

    Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

    Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Part II. Other Information

 

    Item 6. Exhibits

In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in the Original Report, this Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the date of the filing of the Original Report, November 7, 2014, and the disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q/A have not been updated to reflect events occurring subsequent to that date, other than those associated with the restatement.

In connection with the filing of the Original 2014 Annual Report, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We did not design effective controls to assess the accounting for deferred taxes related to dispositions. This control deficiency resulted in an adjustment to our deferred tax assets and income from discontinued operations which was reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Original 2014 Annual Report. Subsequent to the filing of the Original 2014 Annual Report, the material weakness also resulted in the material adjustments to our deferred taxes and income from discontinued operations that led to restatement of the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 (see Note 2 included in Item 1 of this report) and for the year ended December 31, 2014. The effects of the material weakness, as well as our plan to remediate the material weakness, are discussed in more detail in Item 4, as amended hereby.

Currently dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1. This Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K/A being filed concurrently herewith and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

ALERE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation of Financial Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Alere Inc. are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments considered normal and recurring and necessary for their fair statement. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included information and footnotes necessary for such presentation and were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 3, 2014. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in order to retrospectively present 2014 and 2013 discontinued operations. These reclassifications of financial information related to the discontinued operations have no effect on net income or equity. Given the retrospective presentation of discontinued operations in these financial statements, including with respect to our segment financial information, we have renamed our former health information solutions segment to patient self-testing.

Certain amounts presented may not recalculate directly, due to rounding.

(2) Restatement and Revision of Previously Reported Consolidated Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015, we determined that, in 2014, we had incorrectly accounted for income taxes associated with two divestitures. We determined that, for the three months ended December 31, 2014, we incorrectly accounted for the deferred taxes related to the divestiture of our health management business. The adjustment to correct this error resulted in a decrease to deferred tax assets and to income from discontinued operations of $30.3 million. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incorrectly accounted for deferred taxes in connection with the ACS Companies divestiture. The adjustment to correct this error resulted in a $7.0 million increase to deferred tax liabilities and a decrease in income from discontinued operations.

The impact of these errors was determined to be material to our fiscal year 2014 consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, we have restated our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014. We also corrected additional errors in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as part of this restatement to correct out-of-period adjustments that were previously determined to be immaterial. These adjustments include:

 

    An adjustment to increase the provision for income taxes and increase income taxes payable related to an audit settlement by $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

    A $4.6 million decrease in general and administrative expense related to our contingent consideration obligations in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

    An adjustment to reverse the benefit from certain foreign tax credits which increased the provision for income taxes by $4.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

 

    Additional adjustments that, in the aggregate, decrease loss from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes by $1.3 million and $3.9 million and increase provision for income taxes by $0.9 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

In connection with those restatements, we corrected additional errors in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and as of December 31, 2013. We concluded that the correction of these errors was not material individually, or in the aggregate, to our previously issued financial statements. Accordingly, we are revising our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and our balance sheet as of December 31, 2013. The adjustments in these periods are all corrections to out-of-period adjustments and include:

 

    An adjustment to record additional income taxes payable related to various foreign subsidiaries which decreases the benefit from income taxes by $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

    Additional adjustments that, in the aggregate, decrease and increase loss from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes by $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and decrease the benefit from income taxes by $1.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

    A 39.6 million adjustment to increase accrued expense and other current liabilities and decrease liabilities related to assets held for sale as of December 31, 2013.

 

    A $15.0 million adjustment to increase short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt and decrease long-term debt, net of current portion as of December 31, 2013.

The following schedules reconcile the amounts as previously reported to the corresponding restated or revised amounts in these consolidated financial statements:

(3) Discontinued Operations

On January 9, 2015, we completed the sale of our health management business to OptumHealth Care Solutions for a purchase price of approximately $600.1 million, subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment. We used the net cash proceeds of the sale to repay $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility.

On October 10, 2014, we completed the sale of our ACS subsidiary to ACS Acquisition, LLC (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Sumit Nagpal. In connection with the sale of ACS, we also agreed to sell our subsidiary Wellogic ME FZ – LLC (“Wellogic,” together with ACS, the “ACS Companies”) to the Purchaser, subject to the satisfaction of routine requirements of Dubai law relating to the transfer of equity. The ACS Companies were included in our patient self-testing segment. The purchase price for the ACS Companies consisted of cash proceeds of $2.00 at closing and contingent consideration of up to an aggregate of $7.0 million, consisting of (i) payments based on the gross revenues of the ACS Companies, (ii) payments to be made in connection with financing transactions by the Purchaser or the ACS Companies and (iii) payments to be made in connection with a sale by the Purchaser of the ACS Companies. In connection with the sale, we agreed to reimburse the Purchaser for up to $750,000 of the Purchaser’s and the ACS Companies’ transitional expenses.

We had restricted cash of $35.6 million and $32.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, $29.4 million was classified as non-current on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, as it secures a foreign bank loan arrangement that we entered into during the third quarter of 2013 and, under the terms of the loan agreement, is required to remain on deposit for two years.

(10) Business Combinations

Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method and the acquired companies’ results have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we expensed acquisition-related costs of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in general and administrative expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we expensed acquisition-related costs of $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in general and administrative expense.

Our business acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill, based on our expectations of synergies and other benefits of combining the businesses. These synergies and benefits include elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing; use of our existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the products of the acquired businesses; and use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to expand product sales in a cost-efficient manner.

Net assets acquired are recorded at their fair value and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the fair value analysis. The estimated useful lives of the individual categories of intangible assets were based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized over the shorter of the respective lives of the agreement or the period of time the intangible assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. We amortize our finite-lived intangible assets based on patterns on which the respective economic benefits are expected to be realized.

Acquisitions in 2013

(i) Epocal

On February 1, 2013, we acquired Epocal, Inc., or Epocal, located in Ottawa, Canada, a provider of technologies that support blood gas and electrolyte testing at the point of care. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $248.5 million, which consisted of $151.4 million in cash, a $22.1 million settlement of a pre-existing arrangement and a contingent consideration obligation with an aggregate acquisition date fair value of $75.0 million. The operating results of Epocal are included in our professional diagnostics reporting unit and business segment. The amount allocated to goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

(ii) Other acquisitions in 2013

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we acquired the following businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $57.6 million, which included cash payments totaling $28.2 million, a $17.5 million settlement of a pre-existing arrangement, contingent consideration obligations with an aggregate acquisition date fair value of $1.3 million, deferred purchase price consideration with an acquisition date fair value of $0.8 million and an $8.0 million bargain purchase gain.

 

    certain assets of PT Mega Medika Mandiri, or Mega Medika, located in South Jakarta, Indonesia, a distributor of infectious disease products to the Indonesian marketplace as well as materials for vaccines to a pharmaceutical customer (Acquired January 2013)

Table of Contents

The operating results of Mega Medika, Discount Diabetic, the Liberty business, Alere Health Services, Pantech, and Simplex are included in our professional diagnostics reporting unit and business segment.

Our consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 included revenue totaling approximately $5.8 million and $41.2 million, respectively, related to these businesses. Goodwill has been recognized in the Mega Medika, Alere Health Services, Pantech, and Simplex acquisitions and amounted to approximately $2.4 million. The goodwill related to the Mega Medika and Simplex acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes, but the goodwill related to the Pantech and Alere Health Services acquisitions is not.

With respect to our acquisition of the Liberty business, the purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with the excess of the fair value of assets acquired over the purchase price recorded as a bargain purchase gain. The $8.0 million bargain purchase gain has been recorded in other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and is not recognized for tax purposes. The bargain purchase gain resulted from our operating cost structure which we believe will allow us to operate this business more cost effectively than the sellers.

As of September 30, 2014, $7.7 million in severance and transition costs arising under our 2014 restructuring plans remain unpaid.

(b) 2013 Restructuring Plans

In 2013, management developed cost reduction efforts within our professional diagnostics business segment, impacting businesses in our U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific regions. Additionally, management took steps to improve efficiencies within our patient self-testing business segment, including winding down a small portion of this business, which resulted in charges associated with the impairment of related fixed and intangible assets. The following tables summarize the restructuring activities in our professional diagnostics and patient self-testing business segments related to our 2013 restructuring plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and since inception (in thousands):

(3)  An approximate $35.6 million loss in connection with the repurchase of our 9% senior subordinated notes has been included in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. Included in the $35.6 million is $19.0 million related to tender offer consideration and call premium which has been classified within cash flows from financing activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

(13) Fair Value Measurements

We apply fair value measurement accounting to value our financial assets and liabilities. Fair value measurement accounting provides a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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 of the assets or liabilities.

(1)  We determine the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted approach derived from earn-out criteria estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. The measurement is based upon significant inputs not observable in the market. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of these contingent consideration obligations are recorded as income or expense within operating income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 18 for additional information on the valuation of our contingent consideration obligations.

Changes in the fair value of our Level 3 contingent consideration obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt were both $3.8 billion at September 30, 2014. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt were $3.8 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using market sources that were derived from available market information (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) and may not be representative of actual values that could have been or will be realized in the future.

(16) Related Party Transactions

(a) Divestiture of ACS Companies

On October 10, 2014, we completed the sale of our ACS subsidiary to ACS Acquisition, LLC (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser and Sumit Nagpal. In connection with the sale of ACS, we also agreed to sell our subsidiary Wellogic ME FZ – LLC (“Wellogic,” together with ACS, the “ACS Companies”) to the Purchaser, subject to the satisfaction of routine requirements of Dubai law relating to the transfer of equity. See Note 3.

Mr. Nagpal is a director of Wellogic and served as the chief executive officer and a director of ACS until his resignation on September 2, 2014. Mr. Nagpal was also the owner of Method Factory, Inc., the company that sold to Alere in 2011 the business and assets of ACS, and Wellogic prior to its sale to Alere in 2012.

(b) SPD Joint Venture

In May 2007, we completed the formation of Swiss Precision Diagnostics GmbH, or SPD, our 50/50 joint venture with Procter & Gamble, or P&G, for the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of existing and to-be-developed consumer diagnostic products, outside the cardiology, diabetes and oral care fields. Upon completion of the arrangement to form the joint venture, we ceased to consolidate the operating results of our consumer diagnostic products business related to the joint venture and instead account for our 50% interest in the results of the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.

We had a net payable to SPD of $4.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and a net receivable from SPD of $2.1 million as of December 31, 2013. Included in the $4.1 million payable balance as of September 30, 2014 is a receivable of approximately $1.6 million for costs incurred in connection with our 2008 SPD-related restructuring plans. Included in the $2.1 million receivable balance as of December 31, 2013 is approximately $1.8 million of costs incurred in connection with our 2008 SPD-related restructuring plans. We have also recorded a long-term receivable totaling approximately $11.4 million and $13.2 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, related to the 2008 SPD-related restructuring plans. Additionally, customer receivables associated with revenue earned after the formation of the joint venture was completed have been classified as other receivables within prepaid and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets in the amount of $9.1 million and $12.4 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In connection with the joint venture arrangement, the joint venture bears the collection risk associated with these receivables. Sales to the joint venture under our manufacturing agreement totaled $19.6 million and $60.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $21.2 million and $56.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Additionally, services revenue generated pursuant to the long-term services agreement with the joint venture totaled $0.3 million and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Sales under our manufacturing agreement and long-term services agreement are included in net product sales and services revenue, respectively, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Under the terms of our product supply agreement, SPD purchases products from our manufacturing facilities in China. SPD in turn sells a portion of those tests back to us for final assembly and packaging. Once packaged, a portion of the tests are sold to P&G for distribution to third-party customers in North America. As a result of these related transactions, we have recorded $9.1 million and $9.4 million of trade receivables which are included in accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and $25.8 million and $18.8 million of trade accounts payable which are included in accounts payable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received $10.8 million in cash from SPD as a return of capital.

(c) Entrustment Loan Arrangement with SPD Shanghai

Alere (Shanghai) Diagnostics Co., Ltd., or Alere Shanghai, and SPD Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., or SPD Shanghai, entered into an entrustment loan arrangement for a maximum of CNY 23 million (approximately $3.7 million at September 30, 2014), in order to finance the latter’s short-term working capital needs, with the Royal Bank of Scotland (China) Co., Ltd. Shanghai Branch, or RBS. The agreement governs the setting up of an Entrustment Loan Account with RBS, into which Alere Shanghai deposits certain monies. This restricted cash account provides a guarantee to RBS of amounts borrowed from RBS by SPD Shanghai. The Alere Shanghai RBS account is recorded as restricted cash on Alere Shanghai’s balance sheet and amounted to $1.7 million at September 30, 2014.

(17) Other Arrangements

On February 19, 2013, we entered into an agreement with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, or the Gates Foundation, whereby we were awarded a grant by the Gates Foundation in the amount of $21.6 million to support the development and commercialization of a validated, low-cost, nucleic-acid assay for clinical Tuberculosis, or TB, detection and drug-resistance test cartridges and adaptation of an analyzer platform capable of operation in rudimentary laboratories in low-resource settings. In connection with this agreement, we also entered into a loan agreement with the Gates Foundation, or the Gates Loan Agreement, which provides for the making of subordinated term loans by the Gates Foundation to us from time to time, subject to the achievement of certain milestones, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.6 million. Funding under the Gates Loan Agreement will be used in connection with the purchase of equipment for an automated high-throughput manufacturing line and other uses as necessary for the manufacture of the TB and HIV-related products. All loans under the Gates Loan Agreement are evidenced by promissory notes that we have executed and delivered to the Gates Foundation, bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum and, except to the extent earlier repaid by us, mature and are required to be repaid in full on December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2014, we had borrowed no amounts under the Gates Loan Agreement. As of September 30, 2014, we had received approximately $11.6 million in grant-related funding from the Gates Foundation, which was recorded as restricted cash and deferred grant funding. The deferred grant funding is classified within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As qualified expenditures are incurred under the terms of the grant, we use the deferred funding to recognize a reduction of our related qualified research and development expenditures. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred $2.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $1.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of qualified expenditures, for which we reduced our deferred grant funding balance and recorded an offset to our research and development expenses.

(18) Commitments and Contingencies

Acquisition-related Contingent Consideration Obligations

We have contractual contingent purchase price consideration obligations related to certain of our acquisitions. We determine the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted approach derived from the overall likelihood of achieving certain performance targets, including product development milestones or financial metrics. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement, as defined in fair value measurement accounting. The resultant probability-weighted earn-out payments are discounted using a discount rate based upon the weighted-average cost of capital. At each reporting date, we revalue the contingent consideration obligations to the reporting date fair values and record increases and decreases in the fair values as income or expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Increases or decreases in the fair values of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of earn-out criteria and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria.

The following table summarizes our contractual contingent purchase price consideration obligations related to certain of our acquisitions, as follows (in thousands):

(19) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income or cash flows upon adoption.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements -Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, or ASU 2014-15. ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, or ASU 2014-12. ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target which affects vesting and which could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 requires that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance and the method of adoption in the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) — Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, or ASU 2014-08. ASU 2014-08 requires that only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations which has a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results, such as a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment, should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective in the first quarter of 2015. On October 1, 2014, we early adopted this standard. The impact on our consolidated financial statements will be dependent on any transaction that is within the scope of the new guidance.

Recently Adopted Standards

Effective January 1, 2014, we adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists, with limited exceptions. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

(20) Equity Investments

We account for the results from our equity investments under the equity method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 323, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures, based on the percentage of our ownership interest in the business. Our equity investments primarily include the following:

(a) SPD

We recorded earnings of $5.9 million and $12.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and earnings of $4.7 million and $11.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, in equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represented our 50% share of SPD’s net income for the respective periods.

(b) TechLab

We own 49% of TechLab, Inc., or TechLab, a privately-held developer, manufacturer and distributor of rapid non-invasive intestinal diagnostics tests in the areas of intestinal inflammation, antibiotic-associated diarrhea and parasitology. We recorded earnings of $0.9 million and $1.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and earnings of $0.5 million and $1.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, in equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represented our minority share of TechLab’s net income for the respective periods.

(21) Loss on Disposition

In April 2014, we sold the Glucostabilizer business of Alere Informatics, Inc., which was part of our professional diagnostics reporting unit and business segment, to Medical Decision Network, LLC, or MDN, for $1.1 million in cash proceeds and a $1.5 million note receivable, which we fully reserved for based on our assessment of collectability. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a loss on disposition of $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The financial results for the Glucostabilizer business are immaterial to our consolidated financial results.

(22) Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the provision for income taxes included a provision of $79.4 million to establish a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets associated with our U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. This valuation allowance was established as it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. This decision was based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence that existed at September 30, 2014.

(23) Guarantor Financial Information

Our 7.25% senior notes due 2018, our 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2018, and our 6.5% senior subordinated notes due 2020 are guaranteed by certain of our consolidated 100% owned subsidiaries, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a consolidating basis, Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the related Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and the Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for Alere Inc., the Guarantor Subsidiaries and our other subsidiaries, or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The supplemental financial information reflects the investments of Alere Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries in the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting.

We have extensive transactions and relationships between various members of the consolidated group. These transactions and relationships include intercompany pricing agreements, intellectual property royalty agreements and general and administrative and research and development cost-sharing agreements. Because of these relationships, it is possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among wholly unrelated parties.

For comparative purposes, certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification.

(24) Subsequent Event

On October 27, 2014, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Optum pursuant to which we agreed to sell Alere Health and its subsidiaries, which together comprise our condition management, case management, wellbeing, wellness and women’s and children’s health businesses, which we refer to collectively as our health management business, and which is included in what we formerly referred to as our health information solutions reporting segment, to Optum for a purchase price of $600.0 million. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment based on the amount of the subsidiaries’ working capital and other liabilities as of the closing date. All of the businesses being sold are included in what we formerly referred to as our health information solutions reporting segment but now refer to as our patient self-testing segment. In addition, we agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and other matters, and any payment we may make pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the purchase agreement would reduce the net proceeds we expect to receive from the sale. At the closing of the sale, we expect to enter into a transitional services agreement and a transitional license agreement with Optum relating to certain administrative and support functions and the use of certain trademarks.

The closing of the sale is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the expiration of any waiting periods imposed under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), the receipt of the consent of the required lenders under our senior secured credit facility and the absence of any material adverse change in the business to be sold. The closing of the sale is currently expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2014. If for any reason the closing of the sale is not completed by April 27, 2015, or upon the happening of certain other events such as the entry of a final and non-appealable court order prohibiting consummation of the transaction, either we or Optum may have the right to terminate the agreement. The deadline for the completion of the closing of the sale will be extended to July 27, 2015 if the only condition that has not been satisfied as of April 27, 2015 is the expiration of all waiting periods under the HSR Act or other applicable antitrust laws.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the impact of recent changes in our senior management and the anticipated benefits of, and the anticipated timing of the completion of, our strategic review, the impact and timing of reductions in operating expenses, and the timing of potential divestures. Actual results or developments could differ materially from those projected in such statements as a result of numerous factors, including, without limitation, those risks and uncertainties set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013 and other risk factors identified herein or from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. This report and, in particular, the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, should be read in light of those risks and uncertainties and in conjunction with our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto.

Overview

Alere delivers reliable and actionable information through rapid diagnostic tests, resulting in better clinical and economic healthcare outcomes globally. Our high-performance diagnostics for infectious disease, cardiometabolic disease and toxicology meet the growing global demand for accurate, easy-to-use and cost-effective near-patient tests. Our goal is to make Alere products accessible to more people around the world by making them affordable and usable in any setting, even in the most remote and resource-limited areas. By making critical information available to doctors and patients in an actionable timeframe, Alere products help streamline healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes.

On October 28, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors had unanimously selected Namal Nawana to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, removing the interim status from his title. That same day we also announced that we had reached a definitive agreement to sell our Alere Health business to Optum and, during our quarterly earnings call, we discussed several other divestitures and cost-cutting measures achieved during the quarter. Collectively, these accomplishments demonstrate substantial progress toward delivering on our previously announced initiatives of rationalizing our investment in connected health concepts and technologies and reducing overall operating expenses by winding down certain non-core projects. We remain committed to these initiatives and we expect that the insights garnered during our previously announced strategic review process will continue to enable our transformation into an organization with a focused and readily understandable business portfolio. We anticipate completion of the strategic review in the near future.

Revision of Previously Reported Amounts as of and for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

In connection with the preparation of our interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015, we determined that, in 2014, we had incorrectly accounted for income taxes associated with two divestitures. We determined that, for the three months ended December 31, 2014, we incorrectly accounted for the deferred taxes related to the divestiture of our health management business, and that, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incorrectly accounted for deferred taxes in connection with the ACS Companies divestiture. The impact of these errors was determined to be material to our fiscal year 2014 consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, we have restated our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. In connection with the restatement, we corrected additional errors in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Further, we assessed the materiality of the errors in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, and concluded that these errors were not material to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 31, 2013. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been revised in this filing. Refer to Note 2, Revision of Previously Reported Amounts, in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information about this revision.

Recent Events

On October 27, 2014, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Optum pursuant to which we agreed to sell Alere Health and its subsidiaries, which together comprise our condition management, case management, wellbeing, wellness and women’s and children’s health businesses, which we refer to collectively as our health management business, to Optum for a purchase price of $600.0 million. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment based on the amount of the subsidiaries’ working capital and other liabilities as of the closing date. All of the businesses being sold are included in what we formerly referred to as our health information solutions reporting segment. In addition, we agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and other matters, and any payment we may make pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the purchase agreement would reduce the net proceeds we expect to receive from the sale. At the closing of the sale, we expect to enter into a transitional services agreement and a transitional license agreement with Optum relating to certain administrative and support functions and the use of certain trademarks. We intend to use net cash proceeds from this transaction to pay down debt.

The closing of the sale is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the expiration of any waiting periods imposed under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), the receipt of the consent of the required lenders under our senior secured credit facility and the absence of any material adverse change in the business to be sold. The closing of the sale is currently expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2014. If for any reason the closing of the sale is not completed by April 27, 2015, or upon the happening of certain other events, such as the entry of a final and non-appealable court order prohibiting consummation of the transaction, either we or Optum may have the right to terminate the agreement. The deadline for the completion of the closing of the sale will be extended to July 27, 2015 if the only condition that has not been satisfied as of April 27, 2015 is the expiration of all waiting periods under the HSR Act or other applicable antitrust laws.

On October 10, 2014 we completed the sale of our ACS subsidiary and our subsidiary Wellogic ME FZ – LLC (“Wellogic,” together with ACS, the “ACS Companies”) to ACS Acquisition, LLC. The ACS Companies were included in our health management solutions segment.

The operations of the health management business and the ACS Companies are presented in our consolidated financial statements as well as in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as discontinued operations. Subsequent to these divestitures we now refer to the remaining portion of the former health information solutions segment as our patient self-testing segment.

Financial Highlights

 

    Net revenue decreased by $1.4 million, or 0.2%, to $649.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $650.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Net revenue decreased by $22.6 million, or 1.2%, to $1.92 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $1.94 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

    Gross profit decreased by $18.9 million, or 6%, to $301.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $320.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Gross profit decreased by $65.9 million, or 7%, to $0.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

    For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we generated a net loss available to common stockholders of $103.8 million, or $1.25 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $24.8 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we generated a net loss available to common stockholders of $165.0 million, or $1.99 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $88.9 million, or $1.09 per basic and diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

    Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes a $35.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the repurchase of our 9% senior subordinated notes in the second quarter of last year.

 

    During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we established a valuation allowance of $79.4 million against deferred tax assets associated with our U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards since we determined that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Results of Operations

Where discussed, results excluding the impact of foreign currency translation are calculated on the basis of local currency results, using foreign currency exchange rates applicable to the earlier comparative period. We believe presenting information using the same foreign currency exchange rates helps investors isolate the impact of changes in those rates from other trends. Our results of operations were as follows:

Net Product Sales and Services Revenue, Total and by Business Segment. Total net product sales and services revenue decreased by $1.4 million, or 0.2%, to $645.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $646.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding the impact of currency translation, net product sales and services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $5.4 million, or 0.8%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. Total net product sales and services revenue decreased by $25.5 million, or 1%, to $1.91 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $1.93 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding the impact of currency translation, net product sales and services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $32.5 million, or 2%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Net product sales and services revenue by business segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

Net product sales and services revenue from our professional diagnostics business segment decreased by $3.2 million, or 1%, to $583.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $586.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding the impact of currency translation, net product sales and services revenue from our professional diagnostics business segment decreased by $7.3 million, or 1%, comparing the three months ended September 30, 2014 to the three months ended September 30, 2013. We experienced revenue declines principally in the U.S. where revenue decreased by $15.3 million, or 5%, to $267.8 million, from $283.1 million, primarily as a result of declines in Beckman BNP product sales and pain management and rehab during the third quarter of 2014, compared to the comparable period in 2013. From the third quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2014, revenues declined $3.2 million as a result of lower U.S. flu-related sales, $2.7 million as a result of our 2013 disposition of Spinreact, and $1.9 million as a result of lower net product sales of Alere Triage® meter-based products in the U.S., which decreased to $15.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $17.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of our supply issues, which began in the second quarter of 2012. These decreases were partially offset by $4.3 million in non-currency-adjusted incremental revenues attributable to acquisitions and higher U.S. revenues from our mail order business. Revenue from mail order sales, which include both diabetes and ancillary products, increased by $2.9 million, or 8%, to $37.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $34.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of an increase in patients served from 656,000 as of September 30, 2013 to 784,000 as of September 30, 2014. Revenues from international sales increased by $10.7 million to $276.8 million during the third quarter of 2014, from $266.1 million in the third quarter of 2013 due principally to continued strong performance in India and Africa, which together grew by approximately $11.4 million, or 22%, which was partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease in revenues from markets in Latin America as a result of a reduction in diabetes revenue in Brazil and a weak dengue season in the region. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the decrease in net product sales from meter-based Triage products in the U.S., the impact of the decrease in flu-related sales, and the increase in organic revenues from our U.S. mail order diabetes business, the currency-adjusted organic growth for our professional diagnostics net product sales and services revenue was approximately negative 0.1%, or $2.4 million, from the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the three months ended September 30, 2014. New products contributed favorably, however, to our overall adjusted growth, with sales of our CD4 products increasing from $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2013 to $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 and Epoc sales increasing from $5.7 million to $6.7 million for the same periods.

Within our professional diagnostics business segment, net product sales and services revenue for our infectious disease business increased by approximately $5.2 million, or 3%, to $178.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $172.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to an overall increase in international sales, as discussed above, offset by a $3.2 million decrease in U.S. flu-related sales. Net product sales and

services revenue for our toxicology business decreased by approximately $4.6 million, or 3%, to $161.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $166.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of lower pain management and rehab revenues. Net product sales and services revenue for our cardiology business decreased by approximately $6.0 million, or 5%, to $109.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $115.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of the impact of lower U.S. INRatio revenues as a result of the recall initiated early in the second quarter of 2014 and declines in Beckman BNP product sales. Our diabetes business decreased by approximately $3.7 million, or 7%, to $49.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $53.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of the decline in revenue attributable to a reduction in diabetes revenue in Brazil, as discussed above, which was partially offset by our recent acquisitions of the Medicare fee-for-service assets of Liberty Medical, or the Liberty business, and Simplex Healthcare, Inc., or Simplex, which contributed a combined net $4.3 million of the non-currency adjusted incremental revenues from our diabetes business. Included in the $49.5 million of revenue from our diabetes business for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $37.2 million of mail order diabetes sales, compared to $34.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Net product sales and services revenue from our professional diagnostics business segment decreased by $40.1 million, or 2%, to $1.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding the impact of currency translation, net product sales and services revenue from our professional diagnostics business segment decreased by $46.7 million, or 3%, comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We experienced revenue declines principally in the U.S., where revenue decreased by $80.1 million, or 10%, to $753.0 million from $833.1 million. Revenue decreased primarily as a result of a $27.2 million decrease in our U.S. flu-related net product sales, which decreased from $54.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $27.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a $21.4 million decrease in U.S. revenues from our mail order diabetes business, and a $15.9 million decrease in revenue as a result of our 2013 disposition of Spinreact, partially offset by $34.2 million in non-currency-adjusted incremental revenues attributable to acquisitions. Revenue from mail order diabetes sales decreased by 17.3% to $102.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $123.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of a reduction in the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services; or CMS’, reimbursement rates for those products, which became effective on July 1, 2013, the effect of which was partially offset by an increase in patients served from 656,000 as of September 30, 2013 to 784,000 as of September 30, 2014. Revenues in the U.S. were further reduced by declines in Beckman BNP product sales and pain management and rehab, as well as continued lower U.S healthcare utilization levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the comparable period in 2013 and by the impact of product returns in our INRatio business as a result of the recall initiated early in the second quarter of 2014, which adversely impacted revenues by $3.7 million. Net product sales of Alere Triage® meter-based products in the U.S. decreased by $3.7 million to $54.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $58.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Revenues from international sales increased by $44.4 million to $848.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $803.6 million in the comparable period of 2013 due to continued strong performance in India and Africa, which together grew by approximately $34.4 million, or 24%, which was partially offset by a $8.1 million decrease in revenues from markets in Latin America as a result of a reduction in diabetes revenue in Brazil and a weak dengue season in the region. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the decrease in net product sales from meter-based Triage products in the U.S., the impact of the decrease in flu-related sales, and the decrease in organic revenues from our U.S. mail order diabetes business, the currency-adjusted organic growth for our professional diagnostics net product sales and services revenue was approximately $19.3 million, or 1.0%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. New products contributed favorably to our overall adjusted growth rate, with sales of our CD4 products increasing from $12.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $21.9 million in the comparable period of 2014 and Epoc sales increasing from $15.9 million to $20.3 million for the same periods.

Within our professional diagnostics business segment, net product sales and services revenue for our infectious disease business decreased by approximately $12.4 million, or 2%, to $507.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $520.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a larger-than-expected reduction in U.S. healthcare utilization during the nine month ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the comparable period of 2013, and a $27.2 million decrease in our U.S. flu-related net product sales from $54.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $27.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as discussed above, partially offset by an overall increase in our international sales, as discussed above. Net product sales and services revenue for our toxicology business decreased by approximately $1.5 million, or 0.3%, to $478.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $480.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of lower pain management and rehab revenues. Net product sales and services revenue for our cardiology business decreased by approximately $15.8 million, or 5%, to $333.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $348.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of a decline in sales of our Alere INRatio2 PT/INR professional test strip in the U.S. due to a voluntary recall. Our diabetes business decreased by approximately $26.7 million, or 15%, to $151.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $178.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of the decline in revenue attributable to the reduction in CMS’ reimbursement rates described above, which was partially offset by our recent acquisitions of the Liberty business and

Gross Profit and Margin Percentage. Gross profit decreased by $18.9 million, or 6%, to $301.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $320.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in gross profit during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, was largely attributed to declines in Beckman BNP product sales and pain management and rehab during the third quarter of 2014.

Gross profit decreased by $65.9 million, or 7%, to $0.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was largely attributed to the decrease in net product sales and services revenue principally resulting from declines in Beckman BNP product sales during the third quarter of 2014, compared to the comparable period in 2013, lower pain management and rehab revenues, weak U.S. flu-related sales, a larger-than-expected reduction in U.S. healthcare utilization which primarily impacted our U.S. infectious disease revenue, decline in diabetes revenue attributable to the reduction in CMS’ reimbursement rates described above, coupled with the impacts of a recall of INRatio2 test strips and a recall of certain Triage BNP Calibrators during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which included revenue and cost of sales charges totaling $7.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Cost of net revenue included amortization expense of $15.7 million and $17.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Included in the cost of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was a $0.7 million non-cash charge relating to the write-up of inventory to fair value in connection with our acquisition of Epocal. Reducing gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $5.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, in restructuring charges.

Cost of net revenue included amortization expense of $47.2 million and $52.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.9 million of non-cash charges relating to the write-up of inventory to fair value in connection with certain acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Reducing gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $ 6.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in restructuring charges.

Overall gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 46% and 47%, respectively, compared to 49% and 50%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The lower gross margin in the current three-month period principally reflects lower revenues from Beckman BNP product sales and pain management and rehab toxicology revenues. The lower gross margin in the current nine-month period principally reflects lower pain management and rehab toxicology revenues, the impact of the reduced mail order diabetes reimbursement rates noted above, as well as revenue and cost of sales charges of approximately $7.5 million incurred in the second quarter in connection with our recall of INRatio2 test strips and our recall of certain Triage BNP Calibrators.

Gross Profit from Net Product Sales and Services Revenue, Total and by Business Segment. Gross profit from net product sales and services revenue decreased by $19.6 million, or 6%, to $298.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $318.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Professional Diagnostics

Gross profit from our professional diagnostics net product sales and services revenue decreased by $25.0 million, or 8%, to $274.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $299.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The lower gross profit in the current period principally reflects declines in Beckman BNP product sales and pain management and rehab revenues during the third quarter of 2014, compared to the comparable period in 2013. Cost of professional diagnostics net product sales and services revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 included a non-cash charge of $0.7 million relating to the write-up of inventory to fair value in connection with certain acquisitions. Reducing gross profit during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $5.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, in restructuring charges.

Gross profit from our professional diagnostics net product sales and services revenue decreased by $78.9 million, or 9%, to $833.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $912.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The lower gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 principally reflects declines in Beckman BNP product sales during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the comparable period in 2013, lower pain management and rehab revenues, lower U.S. flu-related sales and reduced mail order diabetes reimbursement rates. Cost of professional diagnostics net product sales and services revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included a non-cash charge of $1.9 million relating to the write-up of inventory to fair value in connection with certain acquisitions. Reducing gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $6.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in restructuring charges.

Cost of professional diagnostics net product sales and services revenue included amortization expense of $15.1 million and $15.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The lower gross margin in the current three-month period principally reflects declines in Beckman BNP product sales and pain management and rehab revenues, compared to the comparable period in 2013. The lower gross margin in the current nine-month period principally reflects a continued weakness in U.S. healthcare utilization and lower pain management and rehab revenues, coupled with the impacts of a recall of INRatio2 test strips and our recall of certain Beckman Coulter Triage BNP Tests, lower U.S. flu-related sales and reduced mail order diabetes reimbursement rates, compared to the comparable period in 2013.

Patient Self-testing

Gross profit from our patient self-testing net product sales and services revenue increased by $4.5 million, or 34%, to $17.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Gross profit from our patient self-testing net product sales and services revenue increased by $6.9 million, or 17%, to $48.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $41.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Cost of patient self-testing net product sales and services revenue included amortization expense of $0.6 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cost of patient self-testing net product sales and services revenue included amortization expense of $1.8 million and $3.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Amortization expense of $3.7 million and $3.6 million was included in research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Research and development expense as a percentage of net revenue was 6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $19.0 million, or 13%, to $122.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $141.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily driven by lower amortization expense related to customer relationship intangibles during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. Amortization expense of $38.8 million and $51.3 million was included in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Restructuring charges associated with our various restructuring plans to reduce expenses and integrate our newly-acquired businesses totaling approximately $1.0 million and $0.2 million were included in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $28.1 million, or 7%, to $391.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $419.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily driven by lower amortization expense related to customer relationship intangibles during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Amortization expense of $116.7 million and $146.3 million was included in sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense decreased by approximately $4.8 million, or 4%, to $104.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $109.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reversal of $5.5 million of expenses recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration during the third quarter of 2014, as compared to the $2.7 million of adjustments recorded in the comparable period in 2013, the $5.5 million of costs associated with the proxy contest and the $5.9 million loss associated with the disposition of our Spinreact, S.A. subsidiary located in Spain during the third quarter of 2013, offset by the inclusion in general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $6.2 million of costs associated with potential business dispositions, a $3.8 million increase in restructuring plans to integrate our newly-acquired businesses, as well as a $0.4 million loss on the sale of our equity investment in Vedalab S.A., or Vedalab, recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

General and administrative expense increased by approximately $20.4 million, or 6%, to $339.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $318.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $20.8 million of costs associated with potential business dispositions, a $10.7 million increase in restructuring plans to integrate our newly-acquired businesses, offset by the $5.5 million of costs associated with the proxy contest and the $5.9 million loss associated with the disposition of our Spinreact, S.A. subsidiary located in Spain during the third quarter of 2013, as discussed above.

General and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenue was 16% and 18% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to 17% and 16% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense includes interest charges and the amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts associated with certain debt issuances. Interest expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 2%, to $52.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $53.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease is principally due to the lower interest rate associated with our 6.5% senior subordinated notes issued in May 2013, compared to the interest rate associated with our 9% senior subordinated notes which we redeemed in the second quarter of 2013.

Interest expense decreased by $46.8 million, or 23%, to $156.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $203.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease is principally due to a $35.6 million loss recorded in connection with the repurchase of our 9% senior subordinated notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Also contributing to the decrease was the lower interest rate associated with our 6.5% senior subordinated notes issued in May 2013, compared to the interest rate associated with our 9% senior subordinated notes which we redeemed in the second quarter of 2013.

Other income of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily reflects a $1.5 million reversal of a legal settlement accrual and a $0.5 million reversal of a royalty accrual. Other expense of $5.5 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, includes a provision of $5.0 million to reflect an estimate of the settlement or litigation costs which we may incur associated with an ongoing dispute with a customer in our U.S. toxicology business.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. The provision (benefit) for income taxes changed by $80.2 million to a $65.5 million provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from a $14.7 million benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was (261)% and 39% on losses of $25.1 million and $37.6 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate is based on our year-to-date results and projected income (loss), and is primarily impacted by changes in the geographical mix of consolidated pre-tax income (loss), as well as items that are accounted for discretely. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, is primarily a result of the following: (i) valuation allowance of $79.4 million against U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards, (ii) our forecasted jurisdictional mix of income (loss), and (iii) loss entity valuation allowance changes.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes changed by $94.7 million to a $69.3 million provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from a $25.4 million benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was (77)% and 26% on losses of $89.5 million and $98.7 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate is based on our year-to-date results and projected income (loss), and is primarily impacted by changes in the geographical mix of consolidated pre-tax income (loss), as well as items that are accounted for discretely. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, is primarily a result of the following: (i) valuation allowance of $79.4 million against U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards, (ii) our forecasted jurisdictional mix of income (loss), and (iii) loss entity valuation allowance changes.

Deferred tax assets are to be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As discussed above, the provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a valuation allowance of $79.4 million against U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. This valuation allowance was established as we determined that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. This decision was based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence that existed at September 30, 2014.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. The results of the health management business and the ACS Companies’ business are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the discontinued operations generated a net loss of $14.4 million, as compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the discontinued operations generated a net loss of $4.1 million, as compared to a net loss of $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Included in the net loss of $14.4 million and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is a gain resulting from the write down of $18.0 million ($11.2 million, net of tax) of finite-lived intangible assets and $1.1 million ($0.7 million, net of tax) of fixed assets to fair value, along with the reversal of a $26.3 million ($16.3 million, net of tax) contingent consideration obligation associated with our original purchase of ACS. See Note 3.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based upon our current working capital position, current operating plans and expected business conditions, we expect to fund our short- and long-term working capital needs primarily using existing cash and our operating cash flow, and we expect our working capital position to improve as we improve our future operating margins and grow our business through new product and service offerings and by continuing to leverage our strong intellectual property position. Additionally, we remain engaged in discussions concerning divestitures, and we expect that as we complete divestitures we will use net proceeds to reduce our outstanding debt and intend to do so with regard to the net proceeds from our pending sale of our Alere Health business. As of September 30, 2014, we had $431.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $137.3 million was held by domestic subsidiaries and $294.1 million was held by foreign entities. We do not plan to repatriate cash held by foreign entities due to adverse tax implications, including incremental U.S. tax liabilities and potential foreign withholding tax liabilities.

We may also utilize our secured credit facility or other new sources of financing to fund a portion of our capital needs and other commitments, including our contractual contingent consideration obligations and future acquisitions. As of September 30, 2014, we had outstanding borrowings totaling $170.0 million under the $250.0 million revolving line of credit under our secured credit facility, leaving $80.0 million available to us for additional borrowings. The terms and conditions of our outstanding debt instruments also contain covenants which expressly restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and conduct other financings. As of September 30, 2014, we had $3.8 billion in outstanding indebtedness comprised of $2.3 billion under our secured credit facility, including borrowings under our revolving line of credit, $450.0 million of 7.25% senior notes due 2018, $400.0 million of 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2018, $425.0 million of 6.5% senior subordinated notes due 2020, and $150.0 million of 3% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2016. In February 2013, we redeemed the $1.8 million outstanding principal amount of our 7.875% senior notes pursuant to our optional redemption right under the indenture under which the 7.875% senior notes were issued.

If the capital and credit markets experience volatility or the availability of funds is limited, we may incur increased costs associated with issuing debt instruments. In addition, it is possible that our ability to access the capital and credit markets could be limited by these or other factors at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to refinance maturing debt and/or react to changing economic and business conditions.

Our funding plans for our working capital needs and other commitments may be adversely impacted if our underlying assumed revenues and expenses are not realized. In particular, we could experience unexpected costs associated with our potential divestitures, operational integration efforts, core research and development projects, cost-saving initiatives and existing or unforeseen lawsuits against us. We may also choose to make significant investment to pursue legal remedies against potential infringers of our intellectual property rights. If we decide to engage in such activities, or if our operating results fail to meet our expectations, we could be required to seek additional funding through public or private financings or other arrangements. In such event, adequate funds may not be

available when needed or may be available only on terms which could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations. In addition, if we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible securities, dilution to then-existing stockholders may result.

Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $76.6 million of U.S. federal net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards, approximately $998.8 million of state NOL carryforwards and $254.7 million of foreign NOL and capital loss carryforwards, which either expire on various dates through 2033 or can be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $79.4 million of federal and state research and development, foreign tax and alternative minimum tax credits which either expire on various dates through 2033 or can be carried forward indefinitely. These loss and credit carryforwards may be available to reduce future federal, state and foreign taxable income, if any, and are subject to review and possible adjustment by the appropriate tax authorities when utilized.

Furthermore, all U.S. federal losses and credits are subject to the limitations imposed by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, and may be limited in the event of certain cumulative changes in ownership interests of significant shareholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%. Sections 382 and 383 impose an annual limitation on the use of these losses or credits to an amount equal to the value of the company at the time of the ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax exempt rate. Additionally, certain U.S. state and foreign losses and credits may be subject to similar and/or other limitations based on local provisions.

We have recorded a valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets related to our NOLs, capital loss and other credits as well as certain of our other deferred tax assets to reflect uncertainties that might affect the realization of such deferred tax assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, our contractual obligations have not changed significantly since December 31, 2013, as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, bad debt, inventory, valuation of long-lived assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, including any valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets, contingencies and litigation, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or management estimates since December 31, 2013. A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies and management estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our then-interim chief executive officer, or CEO, and then-serving chief financial officer, or CFO, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes 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.

Management, with participation by our then-interim CEO and then-serving CFO, has designed our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving desired objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), in connection with filing the Original Form 10-Q on November 7, 2014, management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our then-interim CEO and then-serving CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 13d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our then-interim CEO and then-serving CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2014.

Subsequent to that evaluation, in connection with the restatement discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report and the filing of this Amendment, management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014, and our CEO and CFO concluded that, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2014.

In connection with the filing of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 on March 5, 2015 (the Original Report), management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We did not design effective controls to assess the accounting for deferred taxes related to dispositions. This control deficiency resulted in an adjustment to our deferred tax assets and income from discontinued operations which was reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Original Report. Subsequent to the filing of the Original Report, the material weakness also resulted in the restatement of the consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2014 (see Note 2 included in Item 1 of this report) and for the year ended December 31, 2014. Management has determined that the restatements are additional effects of the material weakness described above. Additionally, management concluded that the material weakness could result in misstatement of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

With the oversight of senior management and the audit committee, we have begun taking steps to remediate the material weakness described above and plan to take additional actions to remediate the underlying cause of this material weakness, primarily through:

  (1) enhancing the income tax controls to include specific activities to assess the accounting for deductible outside basis differences that could reverse as a result of transactions to dispose of components of the company,

 

  (2) holding training for our accounting and tax professionals specifically related to accounting for income taxes relating to transactions to dispose of components of the company, and

 

  (3) supplementing our accounting and tax professionals with additional resources that have expertise in accounting for the income tax effects of dispositions and other complex transactions.

These actions are subject to ongoing review by our senior management, as well as oversight by the audit committee of our board of directors. Although we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we cannot, at this time, estimate when such remediation may occur, and our initiatives may not prove successful in remediating this material weakness. Management may determine to enhance other existing controls and/or implement additional controls as the implementation progresses. It will take time to determine whether the additional controls we are implementing will be sufficient to accomplish their intended purpose; accordingly, the material weakness may continue for a period of time.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as disclosed below, there have been no material developments with respect to the legal proceedings discussed in Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Matters Relating to our San Diego Facility

In September 2014, as follow up to a further inspection of our San Diego facility, the FDA notified us that this most recent inspection was classified “voluntary action indicated,” meaning that the objectionable conditions or practices found in the inspection do not warrant regulatory action, but that formal close-out of the October 12 Warning Letter could not occur until after a future inspection.

Matters Related to Theft of Laptop

On October 7, 2014, the class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Alere Home Monitoring, Inc., or AHM, was dismissed with leave to amend the complaint. On October 28, 2014, an amended complaint was filed, to which AHM has until November 17, 2014 to respond.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The announcement of our agreement to sell our health management business could adversely affect our business.

On October 27, 2014, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Optum pursuant to which we agreed to sell our health management business for a purchase price of $600.0 million. The closing of the sale is currently expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2014. The announcement of the sale of our health management business, or any significant delay in the consummation of the sale, could cause disruptions in our business, including affecting our relationships with our customers, vendors and employees. For example, customers of the health management business could defer decisions to purchase services from us, seek to renegotiate their existing arrangements or terminate their relationships with us. Similarly, employees uncertain about their future employment status or opportunities may seek other employment. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations and financial condition, regardless of whether the transaction is completed.

While the sale of our health management business is pending, we will be subject to contractual restrictions and commitments that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and the future of our business.

The purchase agreement for our health management business includes restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to the completion of the sale, generally requiring us to conduct our business in the ordinary course and preventing us from taking specified actions without the buyer’s prior written consent. These and other contractual limitations in the purchase agreement may delay, restrict or prevent us from responding effectively to competitive pressures, industry developments or future business opportunities that may arise during the pre-closing period, even if our management thinks they are advisable. Further, ongoing preparation for the sale of the health management business will require substantial time commitments from members of our senior management team and other employees, which will reduce the amount of time they can devote to improving our continuing business operations. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations and financial condition, regardless of whether the transaction is completed.

We may be unable to obtain necessary regulatory clearances to complete the sale of our health management business.

The sale of our health management business is subject to review by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission under the HSR Act, and potentially by other regulatory authorities. Under the terms of the purchase agreement for the health management business, it is a condition to the buyer’s obligation to consummate the transaction that all applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act shall have expired without objection from applicable regulators and that there not be in effect any preliminary or permanent governmental order (including a temporary restraining order), or any law, prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement. We cannot provide assurances that we will obtain all necessary regulatory approvals to complete the sale in a timely manner. Regulators may request additional information regarding the transaction, which could substantially delay consummation of the sale. Regulators could also seek to impose modifications to the terms of the transaction, require divestitures, place restrictions on business operations or prohibit consummation of the transaction. We and the buyer have only limited contractual obligations to seek to accommodate any modifications to the terms of the transaction requested or required by regulatory authorities. If any regulatory authority does not approve the terms of the transaction as negotiated by the parties, or if regulatory review of the transaction extends beyond the timeframe anticipated by the parties, the buyer may not have an obligation to consummate the transaction and may decide not to proceed with the transaction.

The failure to complete the sale of our health management business could adversely affect our business.

There is no assurance that the sale of our health management business will occur when and as expected, or at all. In addition to conditions regarding regulatory approval, the transaction is subject to other closing conditions, including the absence of a material adverse effect on the business to be sold, the receipt of required consents and approvals from third parties, including the required lenders under our senior secured credit facility, and the continued accuracy of our representations and warranties. If any condition to closing is not satisfied, the parties will not be obligated to consummate the transaction. Moreover, if for any reason the closing of the sale is not completed by April 27, 2015, or upon the happening of certain other events such as the entry of a final and non-appealable court order prohibiting consummation of the transaction, either we or Optum may have the right to terminate the agreement. The deadline for the completion of the closing of the sale will be extended to July 27, 2015 if the only condition that has not been satisfied as of April 27, 2015 is the expiration of all waiting periods under the HSR Act or other applicable antitrust laws. If the proposed sale is not completed for any reason, the market price of our common stock could decline on the basis that such price currently reflects an assumption that the sale will be completed and that the proceeds of the sale will be used to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness. The failure of the transaction to occur may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us among other potential buyers of our health management business, as well as in the investment community generally. We may be unable to locate a buyer willing to purchase the health management business on terms equivalent to or more attractive than those agreed to by the buyer. We may face litigation regarding the transaction, which could cause us to incur substantial defense costs and potentially result in an adverse judgment for damages. Finally, we are incurring significant financial advisory, accounting, legal, regulatory and other expenses pursuing the sale of our health management business, and these expenses will reduce our earnings and cash flows, whether or not the sale is completed.
