1. BUSINESS ACTIVITY, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTS <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="2%" valign="top" align="left">1.</td> <td align="left" valign="top">BUSINESS ACTIVITY, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTS </td> </tr> </table> Business Activity We are a global life sciences company dedicated to helping our customers make scientific discoveries and applying those discoveries to ultimately improve the quality of life. Our systems, reagents, and services enable scientific researchers to accelerate scientific exploration, driving life-enhancing discoveries and developments. Life Technologies’ customers do their work across the biological spectrum, advancing genomic medicine, regenerative science, molecular diagnostics, agricultural and environmental research and 21 st century forensics. The Company has a workforce of approximately 10,400 people, has a presence in more than 160 countries, and possesses a rapidly growing intellectual property estate of over 4,000 patents and exclusive licenses around the world. Our systems and reagents enable, simplify and accelerate a broad spectrum of biological research of genes, proteins and cells within academic and life science research and commercial applications. Our scientific expertise assists in making biodiscovery research techniques more effective and efficient for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agricultural, clinical, government and academic scientific professionals with backgrounds in a wide range of scientific disciplines. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Life Technologies Corporation and its majority owned or controlled subsidiaries, collectively referred to as Life Technologies (the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. When there is a portion of equity in an acquired subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent, the Company records the fair value of the noncontrolling interests at the acquisition date and classifies the amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests separately in equity in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Any subsequent changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. For details on the noncontrolling interests, refer to the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income. For purposes of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, gross profit is defined as revenues less cost of revenues and purchased intangibles amortization and gross margin is defined as gross profit divided by revenues. Operating income is defined as gross profit less operating expenses and operating margin is defined as operating income divided by revenues. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications and Segment Information The Company has reclassified the historical presentation of cash impact from hedging activities on the Statement of Cash Flows to align to the current year presentation. The Company has determined in accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting to operate as one operating segment. The Company believes our chief operating decision maker (CODM) makes decisions based on the Company as a whole. In addition, the Company shares the common basis of organization, types of products and services that derive revenues, and economic environments. Accordingly, we believe it is appropriate to operate as one reporting segment. The Company has disclosed the revenues for each of its internal divisions to allow the reader of the financial statements the ability to gain transparency into the operations of the Company. Concentrations of Risks Approximately $696.3 million, $712.3 million and $655.8 million, or 18%, 20% and 21% of the Company’s revenues during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were derived from university and research institutions which management believes are, to some degree, directly or indirectly supported by the United States Government. If there were to be a significant change in current research funding, particularly with respect to the National Institute of Health, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future revenues and results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, updating ASC Topic 350, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other. Under the amended ASC Topic 350, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit as a basis for determining if it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test as required under ASC Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the entity concludes otherwise, it must proceed with the first step of the two-step impairment test. The Update provides examples of events and circumstances an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value. These examples are not all-inclusive, and an entity may identify other relevant events or circumstances to consider in its assessment. Under this Update, an entity is no longer permitted to carry forward its detailed calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value from a prior year as previously permitted. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or on future operating results. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, updating ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. Under the amended ASC Topic 220, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance eliminates the current option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. This guidance does not change the components that are recognized in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for the Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, updating ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. This guidance defers changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. The guidance in ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of 2012 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements or on future operating results. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, updating ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. This guidance clarifies existing fair value guidance and expands disclosure requirements on, among other things, fair value measurements using Level 3 unobservable inputs. Level 3 unobservable inputs refer to prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). This guidance requires disclosures of quantitative information about the inputs used in Level 3 valuations, the valuation process used, and the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for more description on fair value measurements using Level 3 unobservable inputs. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is to be applied prospectively. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of 2012 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or on future operating results. Revenue Recognition We derive our revenue from the sale of our products, services and technology. We recognize revenue from product sales upon transfer of title of the product or performance of services. Transfer of title generally occurs upon shipment to the customer. We generally ship to our customers FOB shipping point. Concurrently, we record provisions for warranty, returns, and installation based on historical experience and anticipated product performance. Revenue is not recognized at the time of shipment of products in situations where risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer at a point other than upon shipment to the customer due to the shipping terms, the existence of an acceptance clause, the achievement of milestones, or certain return or cancellation privileges. Revenue is recognized according to the shipping terms, at the time of customer acceptance, the lapse of acceptance provisions or cancellation privileges, or achievement of milestones. Service revenue is recognized over the period services are performed. If our shipping policies or sales terms were to change, materially different reported results could occur. In cases where customers order and pay for products and request that we store a portion of their order for them at our cost, we record any material up-front payments as deferred revenue in current or long-term liabilities, depending on the length of the customer prepayment, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognize revenue upon shipment of the product to the customer. For instruments where installation is determined to be a separate earnings process, the portion of the sales price allocable to the fair value of the installation is deferred and recognized when installation is complete. We determine the fair value of the installation process based on technician labor billing rates, the expected number of hours to install the instrument based on historical experience, and amounts charged by third-parties. We continually monitor the level of effort required for the installation of our instruments to ensure that appropriate fair values have been determined. Deferred revenue, which includes customer prepayments and unearned service revenue, totaled $141.9 million at December 31, 2011. We also enter into arrangements whereby revenues are derived from multiple deliverables. In these arrangements, the Company records revenue as separate elements if the delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis, and if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the seller’s control. Arrangement consideration should be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method that is based on a three-tier hierarchy. The relative selling price method requires that the estimated selling price for each deliverable should be based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value, which represents the price charged for a deliverable when it is sold separately or for a deliverable not yet being sold separately, the price established by management having the relevant authority. When VSOE of fair value is not available, third-party evidence (TPE) of fair value is acceptable, or a best estimate of selling price if VSOE and TPE are not available. A best estimate of selling price should be consistent with the objective of determining the price at which we would transact if the deliverable were sold regularly on a standalone basis and also take into account market conditions and company specific factors. The relative selling price method allocates any discount in the arrangement proportionally to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s estimated selling price. Applicable revenue recognition criteria are also considered separately for separate units of accounting. Revenues from multiple-element arrangements involving license fees, up-front payments and milestone payments, which are received and/or billable in connection with other rights and services that represent our continuing obligations, are deferred until all applicable revenue recognition criteria are met for each separable element. Contract interpretation is normally required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and if so, how the price should be allocated among the multiple-elements, when to begin to recognize revenue for each element, and the period over which revenue should be recognized. We recognize royalty revenue, including upfront licensing fees, when the amounts are earned and determinable during the applicable period based on historical activity, and make revisions for actual royalties received in the following quarter. Materially different reported results would be likely if any of the estimated royalty revenue were significantly different from actual royalties received; however, historically, these revisions have not been material to our consolidated financial statements. For those arrangements where royalties cannot be reasonably estimated, we recognize revenue on the receipt of cash or royalty statements from our licensees. Since we are not able to forecast product sales by licensees, royalty payments that are based on product sales by the licensees are not determinable until the licensee has completed their computation of the royalties due and/or remitted their cash payment to us. In addition, we recognize up-front nonrefundable license fees when due under contractual agreement, unless we have specific continuing performance obligations requiring deferral of all or a portion of these fees. If it cannot be concluded that a licensee fee is fixed or determinable at the outset of an arrangement, revenue is recognized as payments from third-parties become due. Should information on licensee product sales become available so as to enable us to recognize royalty revenue on an accrual basis, materially different revenues and results of operations could occur. Royalty revenue totaled $121.8 million, $130.4 million and $122.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Revenue recorded under proportional performance for projects in process is designed to approximate the amount of revenue earned based on the percentage of efforts completed within the scope of the contractual arrangement. We undertake a review of these arrangements to determine the percentage of the work that has completed and the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize. Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of sales. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are recorded as revenue in the period the related product sales revenue is recognized. Restricted Cash and Related Liabilities The Company had restricted cash of $16.7 million and $18.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which was held in Rabbi Trusts for the payment of certain non-qualified pension plan liabilities. The funds are invested primarily in money market accounts. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $19.1 million and $18.3 million, respectively, for non-qualified pension plan liabilities recognized in current liabilities and pension liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets in association with the funds held in the Rabbi Trusts. Rabbi Trusts remain in place for the term of benefits payable, which in the case of non-qualified pension plans is the death of the participants or their designated beneficiaries. The Rabbi Trust assets are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency. No further contributions are required to be made to the Rabbi Trusts as of December 31, 2011. Accounts Receivable The Company provides reserves against trade receivables for estimated losses that may result from a customers’ inability to pay. The amount is determined by analyzing known uncollectible accounts, aged receivables, economic conditions in the customers’ country or industry, historical losses and customer credit-worthiness. Bad debt expense is recorded as necessary to maintain an appropriate level of allowance for doubtful accounts in selling, general and administrative expense. Additionally, our policy is to fully reserve for all accounts with aged balances greater than one year, with certain exceptions determined necessary by management. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written off against the reserve. The allowances for doubtful accounts were $10.2 million and $10.4 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Inventories Inventories are generally stated at lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Cost is determined principally on the standard cost method for manufactured goods that approximates cost on the first-in, first-out method. The Company reviews the components of its inventory on a regular basis for excess, obsolete and impaired inventory and makes appropriate dispositions as obsolete inventory is identified. Reserves for excess, obsolete and impaired inventory were $88.7 million and $92.4 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Inventories include material, labor and overhead costs in addition to purchase accounting adjustments to write-up acquired inventory to estimated selling prices less costs to complete, costs of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance.   Inventories consist of the following at December 31:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="76%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="5%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="5%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom">(in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">2010</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Raw materials and components </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">105,628</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">87,557</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Work in process (materials, labor and overhead) </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">93,738</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">63,772</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Finished goods (materials, labor and overhead) </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">178,500</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">171,989</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Total inventories, net </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">377,866</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">323,318</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr>  </table> Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets include hedge assets, prepaid assets, and other current assets, none of which was material at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Fair Value of Financial Instruments We account for our financial instruments at fair value based on ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In determining fair value, we consider both the credit risk of our counterparties and our own creditworthiness. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The framework requires the valuation of investments using a three tiered approach. The Company reviews and evaluates the adequacy of the valuation techniques periodically. In the current year, there have not been any changes to the Company’s valuation methodologies. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from an underlying instrument or index, such as interest rates, equity securities, currencies, commodities or credit spreads. Derivatives include futures, forwards, swaps, or option contracts, or other financial instruments with similar characteristics. Derivative contracts often involve future commitments to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount (e.g., interest rate swaps or currency forwards). The accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the nature of the derivative and whether the derivative qualifies as a hedging instrument in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Those hedging instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are included as an adjustment to revenue or interest expense, depending upon the nature of the underlying transactions the Company is hedging for. Those hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting are included in other income (expense). For details on the assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques used, and for details on derivative instruments, refer to Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We periodically evaluate the original assumptions and rationale utilized in the establishment of the carrying value and estimated lives of our long-lived assets. The criteria used for these evaluations include management’s estimate of the asset’s continuing ability to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of any intangible asset in the Company’s business objectives. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets, which is determined by applicable market prices, when available. For intangible assets not subject to amortization, the Company assesses for impairment at least annually. There was no material impairment loss recognized for long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.   Property and Equipment We capitalize major renewals and improvements that significantly add to productive capacity or extend the life of an asset. We expense repairs, maintenance, and minor renewals and improvements as incurred. We remove the cost of assets and related depreciation from the related accounts on the balance sheet when assets are sold, or otherwise disposed of, and any related gains or losses are reflected in current earnings. Leased capital assets are included in property and equipment. Depreciation of property and equipment under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. We compute depreciation expense of owned property and equipment based on the expected useful lives of the assets primarily using the straight-line method. We amortize leasehold improvements over their estimated useful lives or the term of the applicable lease, whichever is less. Capitalized internal-use software costs include only those direct costs associated with the actual development or acquisition of computer software for internal use, including costs associated with the design, coding, installation and testing of the system. Costs associated with preliminary development, such as the evaluation and selection of alternatives, as well as training, maintenance and support are expensed as incurred. At December 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company had $137.8 million and $129.0 million in unamortized capitalized software costs, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company amortized into expense $27.0 million, $25.2 million and $19.6 million, respectively, related to capitalized computer software costs.

using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense related to intangible assets associated with product sales for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $308.7 million, $293.8 million and $282.6 million, respectively. Acquired in-process research and development assets are accounted for as indefinite life intangible assets subject to annual impairment test, or earlier if an event or circumstance indicates that impairment may have occurred, until completion or abandonment of the acquired projects. Upon reaching the end of the relevant research and development project, the Company will amortize the acquired in-process research and development over its estimated useful life or expense the acquired in-process research and development should the research and development project be unsuccessful with no future alternative use. In connection with acquisitions, $1.7 million of the purchase price was allocated to in-process research and development and expensed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 according to SFAS 141, Accounting for Business Combinations. In addition, the Company recorded $0.8 million and $9.7 million of amortization expense in other income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in connection with the joint venture investment which was divested in January 2010.   Intangible assets consist of the following:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations over their estimated fair value. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and earlier if there is an indicator of impairment. The Company performs its goodwill impairment tests annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year and earlier if an event or circumstance indicates that impairment has occurred. The Company utilized a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. The evaluation included management estimates of cash flow projections based on an internal strategic review. Key assumptions from this strategic review included revenue growth, future gross and operating margin growth, and the Company’s weighted cost of capital. The Company also used internal allocations of assets and liabilities and Company specific discount rates to determine the estimated value of each reporting unit. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that no impairment exists at October 1, 2011. No indicators of impairments were noted through December 31, 2011 and consequently, no impairment charge has been recorded during the year.   Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="86%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="5%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">(in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">Total</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Balance at December 31, 2009 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">3,783,806</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Purchase adjustments of income tax considerations </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(4,944</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Other adjustments </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,265</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Goodwill acquired during the year </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">593,297</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Foreign currency translation </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(1,351</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Balance at December 31, 2010 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4,372,073</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Purchase adjustments of income tax considerations </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(282</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Other adjustments </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,544</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Foreign currency translation </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(6,751</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Balance at December 31, 2011 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4,366,584</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr>  </table> Goodwill acquired during 2010 primarily consisted of the goodwill acquired from the Ion Torrent acquisition. Refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Business Combinations” for further details on business acquisitions. Product Warranties We accrue warranty costs for product sales at the time of shipment, or when the associated revenue is recognized, based on historical experience as well as anticipated product performance. Our product warranties extend over a specified period of time ranging up to two years from the date of sale depending on the product subject to warranty. The product warranty accrual covers parts and labor for repairs and replacements covered by our product warranties. We periodically review the adequacy of our warranty reserve, and adjust, if necessary, the warranty percentage and accrual based on actual experience and estimated costs to be incurred. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the outstanding balance of product warranties was $6.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities include accrued royalties, hedge liabilities, product warranties, interest accruals, and other current liabilities. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, accrued royalties were $44.1 million and $64.6 million, respectively. None of the other liabilities in Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities were material at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Research and Development Costs Costs incurred in research and development activities are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs incurred for collaborations that generate revenue where there are specific product deliverables, and research and development services incurred for defined performances or other design specifications are recorded in cost of sales. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 research and development expenses were $377.9 million, $375.5 million and $337.1 million, respectively. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.   Accounting for Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the guidance prescribed by ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Black-Scholes model) to estimate the fair value of share-based compensation cost at the grant date, which is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period for all share-based awards granted and adjusted by modification or cancellation as necessary. For details on the share-based compensation recognized and assumptions used, refer to Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Employee Stock Plans”. Computation of Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income attributable to Life Technologies by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur from the following items:   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0"

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES Business Combinations The Company completed several acquisitions, including Ion Torrent Systems Incorporated (Ion Torrent), that were not individually or collectively considered material to the overall consolidated financial statements and the results of the Company’s operations. These acquisitions have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of the acquisitions. Certain acquisitions contain contingent consideration arrangements that require the Company to assess the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities, which is recorded as part of the purchase consideration of the acquisition. The Company continuously assesses and adjusts the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities, if necessary, until the settlement or expiration of the contingency occurs. The Company has included summary information around the Ion Torrent acquisition to supplement the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statement of Operations and Statement of Cash Flows. In October 2010, the Company acquired all outstanding equity shares of Ion Torrent with an upfront payment of $375.0 million, and time and technology based milestones of $350.0 million. The merger agreement stipulates that consideration to Ion Torrent’s former equity-holders (for the upfront payment and any milestone payments) be paid in a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock. Of the $350.0 million of time and technology based milestones, the $50.0 million milestone was assessed at 100% probability of occurring, which was considered a financing arrangement. Therefore, the entire $50.0 million was accrued at the date of acquisition. The $50.0 million milestone was earned and paid in November 2010. During 2010, the Company delivered, in satisfaction of both the upfront payment and the $50.0 million milestone, 3.4 million shares of common stock, or the equivalent of $159.3 million at the time of delivery, and cash in the aggregate of $263.2 million. The total purchase consideration was determined to be $683.3 million which consisted of $263.2 million paid in cash, $159.3 million paid in the Company’s common stock, and $260.8 million of contingent consideration, fair valued at the date of acquisition. Under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company was required to assess the fair value of contingent consideration at the date of acquisition. Therefore, the Company assessed the fair value of the contingent consideration of the $300.0 million milestone at $260.8 million by applying a weighted average probability on the achievement of the milestone developed during the valuation process, then deriving the present value of the outcome from the time at which the obligation is settled by applying a discount rate that incorporated a market participant’s view of the risk associated with the expected milestone payment. Based on this present value approach $7.7 million of the milestone consideration was ultimately considered an imputed finance charge, of which $1.5 million and $6.2 million have been recorded in interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2010, the accrual of $262.3 million for the contingent consideration was included in “Other long-term obligations” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and during the first quarter of 2011 was reclassified to current liabilities and included in “Contingent considerations”. During 2011, the milestone was achieved and therefore the Company adjusted the contingent consideration liabilities by $13.7 million in research and development expense, commensurate with the nature of the contingent consideration. In addition, of the $300.0 million milestone, $17.8 million was ultimately considered post-acquisition compensation expense; therefore, the payment has been accrued for accordingly over the period earned by the employees in “deferred compensation” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 6 and Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies” and “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, respectively, for additional information on the fair market valuation of the contingent consideration liabilities and subsequent adjustments. Divestiture of Equity Investment In January 2010, the Company completed the sale of its 50% ownership stake in the Applied Biosystems/MDS Analytical Technologies Instruments joint venture and selected assets and liabilities directly attributable to the joint venture to Danaher Corporation for $428.1 million in cash, excluding transactions costs, and recorded a gain of $37.3 million in other income in Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. Included in the sale was the carrying value of the equity investments of $330.4 million, accounts receivable of $71.3 million, net inventory of $55.1 million, other current assets of $17.6 million, long-term assets of $13.7 million, accounts payable of $9.8 million, other current liabilities of $80.8 million, and long-term liabilities of $6.7 million. Business Consolidation Costs The Company continues to integrate recent and pending acquisitions and divestitures into its operations, as well as business transformation activities, and recorded approximately $75.3 million, $93.5 million and $112.9 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, primarily related to integration and restructuring efforts, including severance and site consolidation currently underway related to various business transformation activities, acquisitions and divestitures that took place in each of the periods, respectively.

4. LINES OF CREDIT The Company had a credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) for $500.0 million for the purpose of general working capital, capital expenditures, and/or other capital needs. Fees associated with the Revolving Credit Facility include a commitment fee for unused funds ranging from 25.0 to 50.0 basis points; letter of credit fees ranging from 150.0 to 250.0 basis points; and interest on borrowings accrued at the Company’s election based on base rate borrowing or Eurocurrency rate borrowing. The base rate borrowing rate is a margin of 50.0 to 150.0 basis points plus the higher of a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 50.0 basis points, b) Bank of America’s prime rate, or c) the Eurocurrency rate plus 100.0 basis points. The Eurocurrency borrowing rate is a margin of 150.0 to 250.0 basis points plus the Eurocurrency borrowing rate. Margins and fees are based on a rate table specified in the agreement and determined by the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio for the period. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has issued $12.7 million of letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and accordingly, the remaining available credit is $487.3 million. The applicable borrowing rate would have been 2.83% and 1.80% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.   As of December 31, 2011 foreign subsidiaries in Japan, Mexico, India, and China had available bank lines of credit denominated in local currency to meet short-term working capital requirements. Each credit facility would bear interest at a fixed rate or a variable rate indexed to a local interbank offering rate or equivalent, should there be withdrawals. Under these lines of credit, the United States dollar equivalent of these facilities totaled $12.5 million at December 31, 2011, none of which was outstanding at December 31, 2011.

</table> Senior Notes On February 10, 2010, the Company filed a prospectus that allows the Company to issue in one or more offerings, senior or subordinated debt securities covered by the prospectus by filing a prospectus supplement that contains specific information about the securities and specific terms being offered. In aggregate, the Company has issued a principal amount of $2,300.0 million of fixed unsecured and unsubordinated Senior Notes (the “Notes”) as of December 31, 2011, of which $1,500.0 million were offered in February 2010 and $800.0 million were offered in December 2010. During February 2010, the Company issued $1,500.0 million of fixed rate unsecured notes which consisted of an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million of 3.375% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “2013 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.95%, an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million of 4.40% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.67% and an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.80%. During December 2010, the Company issued an additional $800.0 million of fixed rate unsecured notes which consisted of an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million of 3.50% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.84% and an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.56%. As a result, the Company recorded an aggregate $3.3 million of debt discounts for the 2013 Notes, 2015 Notes and 2020 Notes at the time of issuance in February 2010, and an aggregate $2.4 million of debt discounts for the 2016 Notes and 2021 Notes at the time of issuance in December 2010. At December 31, 2011, the unamortized debt discount balance was $2.5 million for the 2013 Notes, 2015 Notes, and 2020 Notes, and $2.2 million for the 2016 Notes and 2021 Notes. The debt discounts are amortized over the lives of the associated Notes using the effective interest method. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering in February 2010 were $1,484.8 million after deducting the debt discount as well as an underwriting discount of $11.9 million. Total deferred financing costs associated with the issuance of these senior notes were $14.4 million, including the $11.9 million underwriting discount and $2.5 million of legal and accounting fees. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering in December 2010 were $791.6 million after deducting the debt discount as well as underwriting discounts of $6.0 million. Total deferred financing costs were $7.4 million, including the $6.0 million underwriting discount and $1.4 million of legal and accounting fees. At December 31, 2011, the unamortized issuance costs for the Senior Notes were $10.6 million for the February 2010 offering, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 6.2 years, and $6.1 million for the December 2010 offering, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 6.8 years. The Company recognized aggregate interest expense, net of hedging transactions, of $75.7 million and $33.9 million for the February 2010 offering and December 2010 offering, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011 based on the effective interest rates of 3.39%, 4.47%, 3.53%, 6.03%, and 5.06% for the 2013, 2015, 2016, 2020 and 2021 Notes, respectively, with interest payments due semi-annually. The Company recognized aggregate interest expense, net of hedging transactions, of $65.3 million and $1.6 million for the February 2010 offering and December 2010 offering, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company, at its option, may redeem the Notes (prior to October 15, 2020 for the 2021 Notes) in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of the notes to be redeemed discounted on a semi-annual basis at a treasury rate equal to a comparable United States Treasury Issue at the redemption date plus 25 basis points for the 2016 Notes, 30 basis points for the 2013 Notes, the 2015 Notes, and the 2021 Notes, and 35 basis points for the 2020 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption, if any. Commencing on October 15, 2020, the Company may redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company that results in a downgrade of the notes below an investment grade rating, the indenture requires under certain circumstances that the Company makes an offer to purchase then outstanding Senior Notes equal to 101% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to create or incur certain liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the indenture limits the Company’s ability to consolidate, merge, sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and assets. These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap agreements for a notional amount totaling $1,500.0 million for a certain part of Senior Notes issuances. These agreements were to hedge the variability in future probable interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate from the date the Company entered into the forward interest rate swap agreements to the date the Company issued the Senior Notes. These agreements effectively hedged a series of semi-annual future interest payments to the fixed interest rates for forecasted debt issuances. The Company recorded total proceeds of $4.3 million from the forward interest rate swaps in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reclassified to interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transactions impact interest expense. The Credit Agreement In November 2008, the Company entered into a $2,650.0 million credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) consisting of a revolving credit facility of $250.0 million, a term loan A facility of $1,400.0 million, and a term loan B facility of $1,000.0 million to fund a portion of the cash consideration paid for the AB merger. During February 2010, the Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes, the net of tax proceeds from the sale of its 50% ownership stake in the Applied Biosystems/MDS Analytical Technologies Instruments joint venture and selected assets and liabilities directly attributable to the joint venture, along with cash on hand to pay off the entire outstanding term loan principal of $1,972.5 million, which consisted of the carrying value of $1,330.0 million of term loan A and $642.5 million of term loan B, plus respective accrued interest due on the date of repayment. The Company recognized a loss of $54.2 million on unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the repayments of term loan A and term loan B during the year ended December 31, 2010. After the repayment of the term loans, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated to expand the revolving credit facility to $500.0 million. For details on the revolving credit facility, refer to Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Lines of Credit”. The Company entered into interest rate swaps with a $1,000.0 million notional amount in January 2009 to convert a portion of variable rate interest payments of term loan A to fixed rate interest payments. As a result of the repayment of term loan A in February 2010, the Company de-designated and terminated the interest rate swaps in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as the underlying transaction was no longer probable of occurring. The Company recognized a $12.9 million loss in conjunction with the termination of the interest rate swaps during the year ended December 31, 2010. The contractual interest rates the Company made the interest payments on from the inception of the loan to the date of retirement were from 2.75% to 3.91% on term loan A based on LIBOR plus 2.5%, and from 5.25% to 6.00% on term loan B based on the base rate plus 2.0%. The Company recognized aggregate interest expense, net of hedging transactions, of $11.0 million and $113.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Convertible Senior Notes The Company adopted a bifurcation requirement prescribed by ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, with the retrospective application for our then outstanding $1,150.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes, which consisted of $350.0 million related to the 2% Convertible Senior Note (2023 Notes), $450.0 million related to the 1 1/2% Convertible Senior Note (2024 Notes) and $350.0 million related to the 3 1/4% Convertible Senior Note (2025 Notes). The Company retroactively recognized the carrying amount of $100.0 million, $129.8 million, and $47.6 million for the equity components of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Notes, respectively, with deferred tax impacts of $39.1 million, $50.7 million and $18.6 million for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Notes, respectively, and a liability component classified in long-term debt of $250.0 million, $320.2 million and $302.4 million for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Notes, respectively. In conjunction with the adoption of the provision, the Company applied the guidance to the Company’s debt issuance costs. As a result, the Company allocated the underlying issuance costs associated with the Convertible Senior Notes to equity in the same ratio as when determining the appropriate debt discount. The Company allocated $6.9 million to equity with a deferred tax impact of $2.7 million, and reduced the amount of the debt issuance costs by $6.9 million. The indenture for each set of convertible notes allowed the Note holders to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, and also allowed the Company to redeem, in whole or in part, the Notes at the Company’s option on or after August 1, 2010, June 15, 2011, and February 15, 2012, for 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes, and 2024 Notes, respectively. The terms of the 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes, and 2025 Notes required the Company to settle the par value of such notes in cash and deliver shares for the excess of the notes’ conversion value based on conversion prices of $34.12, $51.02, and $49.13 per share, respectively, over their par values. During May 2011 and July 2010, the Company notified the holders of 2025 Notes and 2023 Notes, respectively, of its intention to redeem all of the outstanding Notes on June 15, 2011 and August 6, 2010 at par value. In response to the Company’s announcement and prior to the redemption dates, holders of a principal value of $347.5 million of 2025 Notes and $347.8 million of 2023 Notes exercised their options to convert the Notes based on the conversion prices of $49.13 and $34.12, respectively, and settled the par value in cash and the excess of the Notes’ conversion value over par in 0.4 million shares and 2.4 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock. The remaining outstanding Notes, approximately $2.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, were settled in cash or the Company’s common stock. The amortization of the debt discounts and the issuance costs for the Notes was completed commensurate with the redemption dates above, per the respective indenture. The Company did not recognize any gain or loss on the settlement of the 2025 Notes or 2023 Notes. At December 31, 2011, the Company held the carrying value of $448.3 million for the 2024 Notes in current liabilities. During January 2012, the Company notified the holders of the 2024 Notes of its intention to redeem all of the outstanding 2024 Notes on February 15, 2012. The Company carried unamortized debt discount of $1.7 million associated with the 2024 Notes as of December 31, 2011 which amortization was completed commensurate with the redemption date. Refer to Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements “Subsequent Events” for further information on the transactions occurred subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010 the Company carried unamortized debt discounts of $21.6 million and $4.6 million for the 2024 and 2025 Notes, respectively. The Company recognized total interest cost of $36.6 million, $60.2 million, and $67.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, based on the effective interest rates of 7.21%, 6.10% and 5.95% for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Notes, respectively, during the periods these notes were outstanding. The interest expense consisted of $12.0 million, $22.2 million, and $25.1 million of contractual interest based on the stated coupon rate and $24.6 million, $38.0 million and $42.8 million of amortization of the discount on the liability component for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The Company issued the 2023 Notes in August 2003, the 2024 Notes in February 2004, and the 2025 Notes in June 2005. In June 2005, the Company sold the 2025 Notes to certain qualified institutional investors at par value. Including the exercise of the over-allotment option, the total size of the offering was $350.0 million. After expenses, net proceeds to the Company were $343.0 million. In February 2004 and August 2003, the Company issued $450.0 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes (the Old 2024 Notes) due February 15, 2024 and $350.0 million principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Senior Notes (the Old 2023 Notes) due August 1, 2023 to certain qualified institutional buyers, respectively. After expenses, the Company received net proceeds of $440.1 million and $340.7 million for the Old 2024 Notes and Old 2023 Notes, respectively. Interest on the Old Notes was payable semi-annually. In addition to the coupon interest of 1   1/2% and 2%, additional interest of 0.35% of the market value of the Old Notes may have been required to be paid beginning February 15, 2012 and August 1, 2010, if the market value of the Old Notes during specified testing periods was 120% or more of the principal value, for the Old 2024 Notes and the Old 2023 Notes. This contingent interest feature was an embedded derivative with a de minimis value, to which no value had been assigned at issuance of either of the Old Notes or subsequently. The Old Notes were issued at 100% of principal value, and were convertible into shares of common stock at the option of the holder, subject to certain conditions described below, at a price of $51.02 and $34.12 per share for the Old 2024 Notes and Old 2023 Notes, respectively. The Old Notes were to be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option on or after February 15, 2012 (for the Old 2024 Notes) and August 1, 2010 (for the Old 2023 Notes) at 100% of the principal amount. In addition, the holders of the Old Notes may have required the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Old Notes for 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, on three separate dates per their issuance agreement. The Old Notes also contained restricted convertibility features that did not affect the conversion price of the notes but, instead, placed restrictions on the holder’s ability to convert their notes into shares of the Company’s common stock (conversion shares). Holders were able to convert their Old Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to stated maturity. During December 2004, the Company offered up to $350.0 million and $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the New 2023 Notes) and 2024 Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the New 2024 Notes), respectively, in a non-cash exchange for any and all outstanding balance, that were validly tendered on that date. Approximately 99% or $446.5 million of the Old 2024 Notes have been exchanged by their holders for New 2024 Notes as of December 31, 2011. The New 2024 Notes carry the same rights and attributes as the Old 2024 Notes except for the following: the terms of the New 2024 Notes require the Company to settle the par value of such notes in cash and deliver shares only for the excess, if any, of the notes’ conversion value (based on a conversion price of $51.02) over their par values. As such, the Company uses the treasury stock equivalent method to calculate diluted earnings per share, as if the New 2024 Notes were outstanding since date of issuance, the date the Old 2024 Notes were issued.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases The Company leases certain equipment and office and manufacturing facilities under operating leases, which expire through December 2048. Certain rental commitments provide for escalating rental payments and certain commitments have renewal options extending through various years. Rent expense under operating leases was $49.5 million, $49.7 million, and $56.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Sublease income totaled $1.5 million, $1.2 million, and $2.9 million for the years ending December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Future minimum lease commitments and sublease rentals for operating leases at December 31, 2011 are as follows:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" border="0"

that is accounted for under the ASC Topic 460, Guarantees. As part of the divestiture of the Analytical Instruments business in 1999 by AB, the purchaser of the Analytical Instruments business has agreed to pay for the pension benefits for employees of a former German subsidiary. However, the Company was required to guarantee payment of these pension benefits should the purchaser fail to do so, as these payment obligations were not transferable to the buyer under German law. The guaranteed payment obligation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Indemnifications In the normal course of business, we enter into some agreements under which we indemnify third-parties for intellectual property infringement claims or claims arising from breaches of representations or warranties. In addition, from time to time, we provide indemnity protection to third-parties for claims relating to past performance arising from undisclosed liabilities, product liabilities, environmental obligations, representations and warranties, and other claims. In these agreements, the scope and amount of remedy, or the period in which claims can be made, may be limited. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, due under these indemnities due to the conditional nature of the obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each agreement. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have not been material to our consolidated financial position. Licensing and Purchasing Agreements The Company develops, manufactures and sells certain products under several licensing and purchasing agreements. The licensing agreements require royalty payments based upon various percentages of sales or profits from the products. Terms of the licensing agreements generally range from the remaining life of the patent up to 17 years and initial costs are generally amortized over periods from five to seven years, not to exceed their terms, using various methods, including the straight-line method. To maintain exclusivity, certain of the licensing agreements require guaranteed minimum royalty payments. Total royalty expense was $91.4 million, $87.1 million and $85.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company also has purchase agreements, which expire on various dates through 2016, under which it is obligated to purchase a minimum amount of raw materials and finished goods each year through the expiration of the contracts and certain capital expenditure commitments. Future minimum guaranteed royalties and unconditional purchase obligations at December 31, 2011 are as follows:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="89%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="5%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom">(in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td colspan="2" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Years Ending December 31, </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> 2012 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">37,614</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> 2013 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">35,156</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> 2014 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">7,036</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> 2015 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,680</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> 2016 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,695</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Thereafter </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,087</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">84,268</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr>  </table> Letters of Credit The Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $37.8 million at December 31, 2011, of which $18.8 million was to support performance bond agreements, $9.2 million was to support liabilities associated with the Company’s self-insured worker’s compensation programs, $4.9 million was to support its building lease requirements, and $4.9 million was to support duty on imported products. Executive Employment Agreements The Company has employment contracts with key executives that provide for the continuation of salary if terminated for reasons other than cause, as defined in those agreements. At December 31, 2011, future employment contract commitments for such key executives were approximately $27.4 million. In certain circumstances, the employment agreements call for the acceleration of equity vesting. The non-cash financial impact of the acceleration of equity vesting is not reflected in the above information. Acquisition-Related Contingent Obligations The Company may have future payment obligations due to the contingent consideration arrangements agreed to between the Company and the respective sellers in conjunction with acquisition agreements. Such payments are based on certain technological milestones, patent milestones or the achievement of targeted sales milestones. According to the ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company records these obligations at fair value at the time of acquisition with subsequent fair value adjustments to the contingent consideration reflected in the line items of the Consolidated Statement of Operations commensurate with the nature of the contingent consideration.   At December 31, 2011, the total amount accrued for contingent consideration liabilities was $284.8 million, of which $283.1 million was included in current liabilities. At December 31, 2010, the total amount accrued for contingent consideration liabilities was $263.3 million, none of which was included in current liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2011, a fair value adjustment charge to contingent consideration liabilities of $13.7 million in research and development expense upon the achievement of a technological and time based milestone and time value accretion of $6.2 million in interest expense was recognized, which were offset by a reduction of $2.7 million to cost of revenues based on a revised probability on achievements of milestones. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a reduction of $6.3 million to cost of revenues based on a revised probability on achievements of milestones. The $300.0 million of milestone related to Ion Torrent acquisition was earned during the year ended December 31, 2011 and paid during January 2012 in a combination of cash and the Company’s common stocks. The $300.0 million was accrued for by an aggregate of $282.2 million in contingent consideration liabilities together with $17.8 million of deferred compensation accrual at December 31, 2011. The Company could be required to make additional contingent payments based on currently existing other purchase agreements through 2013. For more information on business combination accounting, refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Business Combinations and Divestitures”. For the acquisitions the Company accounted for as asset purchases, contingent consideration liabilities are recorded and become an additional element of cost of the acquired assets when the contingency is resolved. During each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $1.7 million of the contingent payments were earned and expensed. Some acquisitions do not limit the maximum payment amount, nor restrict the payment deadlines. Environmental Liabilities As a result of previous mergers and acquisitions, the Company assumed certain environmental exposure liabilities. At December 31, 2011, aggregate undiscounted environmental reserves were $8.6 million, including current reserves of $4.7 million. Based upon currently available information, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for these environmental exposures and that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its Consolidated Statement of Operations. Litigation We are subject to potential liabilities under government regulations and various claims and legal actions that are pending or may be asserted. These matters arise in the ordinary course and conduct of our business, and, at times, as a result of our acquisitions and dispositions. They include, for example, commercial, intellectual property, environmental, securities, and employment matters. Some are expected to be covered, at least partly, by insurance. We intend to continue to defend ourselves vigorously in such matters. We regularly assess contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in our financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in our financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on our assessment, we currently have accrued an immaterial amount in our financial position for contingent liabilities associated with these legal actions and claims. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and unfavorable resolutions could occur. As a result, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgment about future events. The amount of ultimate loss may exceed our current accruals, and it is possible that our cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

7. INCOME TAXES The differences between the United States federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate are as follows for the years ended December 31:   <table cellspacing="0"

present and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under the topic, tax benefits shall initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions shall initially, and subsequently, be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Disclosure requirements are also revised to include an annual tabular rollforward of unrecognized tax benefits.

regarding the timing of the tax benefit. In the event these deductions are deferred to a later period, it would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority. Other than potential interest and penalties, such deferral would have no impact on tax expense. Of the $131.0 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, $88.5 million, if recognized, would reduce our income tax expense and effective tax rate. In accordance with the disclosure requirements as described in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the Company has classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid in one year. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized approximately $(6.9) million, $6.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively, in interest and penalties as income tax expense (benefits) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company had approximately $7.8 million for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2011 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets compared to $15.8 million accrued at December 31, 2010. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $10.7 million of its currently remaining unrecognized tax positions, each of which are individually insignificant, may be recognized by the end of 2012 as we settle current audits with United States federal and state taxing authorities or as statutes expire. The United States’ federal audit cycle covering the consolidated income tax returns for the years ended 2006 and 2007 was completed in 2011. In November 2010, the Internal Revenue Service started its 2008-2009 federal audit cycle. After the United States’ federal examinations of the 2008 and 2009 tax years conclude, the remaining years subject to federal examination will be 2010 and 2011. The remaining years subject to state examination are 2007 through 2011. The Company is subject to routine compliance reviews on various tax matters around the world in the ordinary course of business. Currently, income tax audits are being conducted in Canada, India, Italy, Germany, Singapore, United Kingdom, and the United States. Years open, and therefore subject to tax examination, in the foreign jurisdictions are 2006 through 2011. The impact on the Consolidated Statement of Operations is not anticipated to be material. The Company had provided for United States deferred tax liabilities associated with the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries as part of the acquisition of Applied Biosystems, Inc. in November of 2008. With the exception of these entities’ earnings generated through 2009, the Company maintains the position that all other foreign earnings are to be indefinitely reinvested. While the Company has provided $46.7 million of taxes related to foreign unremitted earnings, taxes on approximately $646.8 million of other undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries have not been provided for at December 31, 2011. Management considers the various cash requirements in the United States, the tax impact of repatriating each subsidiary’s earnings and the reasonably anticipated working capital needs of the foreign subsidiaries in determining the Company’s reinvestment policy. Determination of the amount of deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2011 on amounts indefinitely reinvested is impracticable to calculate. Under ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Equity Compensation, the fair value of share-based compensation is required to be recognized as an expense, and the excess tax benefit associated with such compensation will continue to be credited to additional paid-in-capital, but only to the extent the excess tax benefits have not already been recognized in the Statement of Operations. The excess tax benefit associated with employee stock plans were estimated to reduce income taxes payable by $13.3 million, $21.1 million and $13.9 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $67.1 million, $84.9 million and $27.2 million of federal, state and foreign net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, respectively, that were obtained from acquired companies throughout the years. The federal and state NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2019. Approximately $0.3 million of the foreign NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2015, while the remainder carries forward indefinitely.   There were also state and foreign research and development income tax credit carryforwards of $37.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Approximately $0.1 million of the state income tax credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2015, while the remainder carries forward indefinitely. The foreign income tax credit carryforwards carry forward indefinitely. The Company also had deferred tax assets related to federal, state and foreign capital loss carryforwards of $11.3 million, $5.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Federal and state capital loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2012; foreign capital losses carry forward indefinitely. All of these capital losses are fully offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty surrounding the future taxable capital gain income in the foreseeable future. An additional valuation allowance of $3.1 million was recorded against certain deferred tax assets related to increased capital losses realized, but not yet recognized for tax purposes on capital investments. Due to the “change of ownership” provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, utilization of the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation against taxable income in future periods. As a result of any future ownership changes, the annual limitation under IRC §382 and §383 may expire before ultimately becoming available to reduce future income tax liabilities. The Company continues to benefit from reduced tax rates in Singapore and Israel. Singapore’s taxing authority granted the Company pioneer company status which provides an incentive encouraging companies to undertake activities that have the effect of promoting economic or technological development in Singapore. This incentive equates to a tax exemption on earnings associated with most of the Company’s manufacturing activities and continues through June 30, 2014. The Company qualifies for an incentive tax benefit in Israel which provides for a reduced 3.5% tax rate on earnings from its subsidiary in Israel. This incentive has been granted for an indefinite period given minimum sales and investment levels are maintained. The impact of the tax holiday in Singapore decreased Singapore taxes by $17.2 million, $21.2 million and $20.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As residual United States deferred tax liabilities were provided on the 2008 and 2009 earnings of Singapore, income tax expense was reduced only for the 2010 and 2011 reduction in Singapore taxes. The impact of the tax holiday in Israel decreased both taxes paid and income tax expense by $1.7 million, $1.5 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Accordingly, the benefit of the tax holidays on net income per share (diluted) was $0.10 and $0.12, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The benefit for 2009 was immaterial.

8. COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK Common Stock Authorized Shares The Company has authorized 400,000,000 shares of common stock. Preferred Stock Authorized Shares The Company has authorized 6,405,884 shares of preferred stock of which no shares were outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Upon issuance, the Company has the ability to define the terms of the preferred shares, including voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion and redemption provisions and dividend rates. Stock Repurchase Programs In July 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a program (the July 2011 program) authorizing management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of common stock. No shares have been repurchased under this program. In December 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a program (the December 2010 program), authorizing management to repurchase up to $500.0 million of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased 6.4 million shares of its common stock under this program at a total cost of approximately $303.0 million. As of December 31, 2011, there was $197.0 million of authorization remaining under this program.   In July 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a program (the July 2010 program) authorizing management to repurchase up to $520.0 million of common stock over the next two years. As of December 31, 2010, the Company completed repurchasing 8.4 million shares at a total cost of $436.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased an additional 1.5 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $83.4 million, thereby completing the July 2010 program by repurchasing an aggregate of 9.9 million shares at a total cost of $520.0 million, the maximum amount authorized. In addition, the Company’s employee stock plan, further discussed in Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Employee Stock Plans”, allows for certain net share settlement of stock awards. The Company accounts for the net share settlement withholding as a treasury share repurchase transaction. The cost of repurchasing shares is included in treasury stock and reported as a reduction in total equity when a repurchase occurs.

9.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 401(k) Profit Sharing Plans In December 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the merger of the Employee 401(k) Savings Plan of Applied Biosystems, Inc. (the “AB Plan”) into the Invitrogen Corporation 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (the “Invitrogen Plan”). Effective January 1, 2010, the surviving Plan (the Invitrogen Plan) was renamed the Life Technologies Corporation 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (the “Life Technologies Plan”). The Company may make matching contributions in amounts as determined by the Board of Directors. The Life Technologies Plan allows each eligible employee to voluntarily make pre-tax deferred salary contributions subject to regulatory and plan limitations. For each dollar a participant contributes up to 6% of their salary, the plan offers a 75% match. The Company made matching contributions of $23.7 million and $22.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to the Life Technologies Plan. Prior to the merger of the Invitrogen Plan and AB Plan, the Invitrogen Plan allowed each eligible employee to voluntarily make pre-tax deferred salary contributions subject to regulatory and plan limitations. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company made matching contributions of $5.6 million to the Invitrogen Plan. The Company assumed the AB Plan in conjunction with its merger with Applied Biosystems in 2008. The AB Plan covered domestic employees that were employed by Applied Biosystems prior to its merger and new hires of the Company post merger who worked for legacy Applied Biosystems offices until transferring the AB plan into the Invitrogen Plan in January 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the AB Plan offered a dollar-for-dollar matching of up to 6% salary contributions, and the Company made matching contributions of $14.7 million. Pension and Postretirement Plans The Company is required to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income. The Company is also required to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its fiscal year-end for which consolidated financial statements are presented. The Company assumed the Applied Biosystems’ qualified pension plan, non-qualified supplemental benefit plans, and postretirement benefit plans upon the merger with Applied Biosystems. The qualified pension plan covers a portion of former Applied Biosystems’ worldwide employees. Pension benefits earned are generally based on years of service and compensation during active employment. The Company also sponsors nonqualified supplemental benefit plans for select domestic employees who were hired by Applied Biosystems prior to July 1, 1999. The accrual of future service benefits for all participants was frozen as of June 30, 2004. Benefits earned under the plan will be paid out under the plan provisions. These supplemental plans are unfunded, however, Applied Biosystems prior to its acquisition had established a rabbi trust, through which the assets may be used to pay non-qualified plan benefits. The rabbi trust assets are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency. Plan participants are general creditors of the Company with respect to these benefits. The value of the assets held by these trusts, included in restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $16.7 million at December 31, 2011. The assumed postretirement benefit plans are unfunded, however, they are partially funded by insurance policies. The plan provides healthcare and life insurance benefits to domestic employees who retire under the domestic pension plan provisions and satisfy certain service and age requirements. In addition, employees hired prior to January 1, 1993 also receive subsidized retirement medical benefits. Generally, medical coverage pays a stated percentage of most medical expenses, and in some cases, participants pay a co-payment. Benefits are reduced for any deductible and for payments made by Medicare or other group coverage. The Company shares the cost of providing these benefits with retirees. The Company also has a qualified pension plan for substantially all United States employees that were employed by Life Technologies Inc. prior to its acquisition by the Company in September 2000. The domestic pension plan provides benefits that are generally based upon a percentage of the employee’s highest average compensation in any consecutive five-year period in the ten years before retirement. The Company froze this plan effective December 31, 2001. The Company will continue to administer the plan but benefits will no longer accrue. The Company also sponsors nonqualified supplementary retirement plans for certain former senior management of Life Technologies Inc. and Dexter Corp., which were acquired in 2000. The Company has life insurance policies on the lives of participants designed to provide sufficient funds to materially recover all costs of the plans. In addition to the above plans, the Company sponsors nonqualified executive supplemental plans for certain former senior managers of Dexter and Life Technologies Inc. that provide for a target benefit based upon a percentage of the average annual compensation during the highest five consecutive years of the last ten years before retirement, which benefit is then combined with other work related benefits payable to the participant. These nonqualified supplementary retirement plans and nonqualified executive supplemental plans are unfunded. The Company also administers the Dexter Postretirement Health and Benefit Program (the “Dexter PRMB Plan”), which provides health and life benefits to certain retired participants who are not employees of the Company but were employees of Dexter prior to the sale of their businesses and prior to the Company’s merger with Dexter. The Dexter PRMB Plan is fully funded. The Company does qualify for certain subsidies from Medicare under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 and has included those subsidy estimates in the actuarial valuation of our post retirement medical benefit plans. The Company also provides a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which certain executives elect to defer compensation to a future period. The Company holds assets and liabilities of $26.0 million associated with the deferred compensation plan, located on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in long term other assets and other long term obligations. The retirement benefits for most employees of foreign operations are generally provided by government sponsored or insured programs and, in certain countries, by defined benefit plans. The Company has defined benefit plans primarily for employees in the United Kingdom (U.K.), Germany, Netherlands, Norway, and Japan. The Company’s policy with respect to the foreign pension plans is to fund amounts as necessary on an actuarial basis to provide for benefits under the pension plan in accordance with local laws and income tax regulations. The pension plans generally provide benefits based upon the employee’s final compensation basis or the employee’s average base compensation over the terms specified by the pension plans adjusted by number of years of service or bonus, as necessary. A majority of the foreign pension plans are frozen to additional members and for future accrual of additional benefits for participants of the plan. The German and Japan pension plans are unfunded plans with benefits paid by the Company as needed. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company curtailed a large portion of its Norwegian defined benefit plan resulting in a gain of $5.7 million recorded in the Statement of Operations.     The funded status of the Company’s pension and postretirement plans and amounts recognized at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:     <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"
