1. Basis of Presentation Financial Statement Preparation The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Life Technologies Corporation according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on February 29, 2012. 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, liabilities, 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. 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 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. Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically re-evaluates the original assumptions and rationale utilized in the establishment of the carrying value and estimated lives of its 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 to 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. The Company did not recognize a significant impairment during the period. Business Combinations The Company completed acquisitions that were not considered individually or collectively 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. The Company recognizes the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. 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. For additional details on the carrying value and potential future obligations under these arrangements, refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies”. The Company also incurs various costs related to business combination and integration activities. These activities include restructuring and integrating acquired entities, aligning acquired and existing operations through business transformation activities and costs associated with divesting entities. Costs related to these activities are recorded as “Business integration costs” in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.   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 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. 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"

options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, performance awards, and deferred stock awards with 11.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for the granting of new awards. Stock option awards are granted to eligible employees and directors at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of such stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years, and are exercisable in whole or in installments and expire ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are granted to eligible employees and directors and represent rights to receive shares of common stock at a future date, generally vesting over three or four years. An exercise price and monetary payment are not required for receipt or issuance of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, instead, consideration is furnished in the form of the participant’s services to the Company. The compensation cost for these awards is valued based on the estimated fair value of such award on the date of grant. Under the Company’s qualified employee stock purchase plan, all eligible employees of the Company may elect to withhold up to 15% of their compensation to purchase shares of the Company’s stock on a quarterly basis at a discounted price equal to 85% of the lower of the employee’s offering price or the closing price of the stock on the date of purchase. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Black-Scholes model) to value share-based employee stock option and purchase right awards. The determination of fair value of stock-based payment awards using an option-pricing model requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of share-based compensation cost recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Among these estimates that affect share-based compensation cost recognized are the expected term of options, estimated forfeitures, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate. The expected term of share-based awards represents the weighted-average period the awards are expected to remain outstanding and is an input in the Black-Scholes model. In determining the expected term of options, the Company considers various factors including the vesting period of options granted, employees’ historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior, expected volatility of the Company’s stock and aggregation by homogeneous employee groups. The Company uses a combination of the historical volatility of its stock price and the implied volatility of market-traded options of the Company’s stock with terms of up to approximately one year to estimate the expected volatility assumption input to the Black-Scholes model in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The Company’s decision to use a combination of historical and implied volatility was based upon the availability of actively traded options of its stock and its assessment that such a combination was more representative of future expected stock price trends. The risk-free interest rate is based upon United States Treasury securities with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the share-based awards. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s expectation of future dividend payouts. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. Stock Options and Purchase Rights The underlying assumptions used to value employee stock options and purchase rights granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods on a cumulative basis in the period the estimated forfeiture rate changes. The Company considered its historical experience of pre-vesting option forfeitures as the basis to arrive at its estimated annual pre-vesting option forfeiture rate of 5.6% and 5.7% per year for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. All option awards, including those with graded vesting, were valued as a single award with a single average expected term and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. At March 31, 2012, there was $21.1 million remaining in unrecognized compensation cost related to employee stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years. No compensation cost was capitalized in inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as the amounts involved were not material. Total share-based compensation expense for employee stock options and purchase rights for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was comprised of the following:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="86%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="6" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">Three months ended March 31,</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> (in thousands, except per share amounts) (unaudited) </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">2012</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Cost of revenues </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">588</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,147</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Selling, general and administrative </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4,520</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">7,218</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Research and development </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">662</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,207</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"> Share-based compensation expense before taxes </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">5,770</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">9,572</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Related income tax benefits </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,902</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">3,249</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"> Share-based compensation expense, net of taxes </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">3,868</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">6,323</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> Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units represent a right to receive shares of common stock at a future date determined in accordance with the participant’s award agreement. An exercise price and monetary payment are not required for receipt of restricted stock units or the shares issued in settlement of the award. Instead, consideration is furnished in the form of the participant’s services to the Company. Restricted stock units have either graded vesting terms of four years, or cliff vesting terms which generally vest over three years. Compensation cost for these awards is based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company estimated pre-vesting forfeitures and applied an annual pre-vesting forfeiture rate of 7.0% and 8.0% for restricted stock units with graded vesting terms and cliff vesting terms, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not estimate a forfeiture rate to restricted stock units as historical grants were granted primarily to executives and directors with minimal forfeiture activity. At March 31, 2012 there was $87.7 million remaining in unrecognized compensation cost related to these awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. The weighted average fair value of restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $42.94 and $55.69, respectively.

The Deferred Compensation Plan allows eligible directors and employees to defer, on a pre-tax basis, a portion or all of their compensation, bonuses, or director’s fees in the form of cash or deferred stock awards. The deferred compensation plan provides matching contributions by the Company to the participants, based on the deferred compensation plan agreement, in the form of restricted stock awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company granted restricted stock awards with a total deferred compensation value of $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, which will be recognized over the requisite service period of three years with an applicable forfeiture rate. The restricted stock awards, issued but unvested, are held in a deferral account, and are subject to a three year cliff vesting. Refer to Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for further information on the fair market valuation of the deferred compensation plan assets.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements 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 adoption of the guidance in the fiscal year 2012 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s future operating results.

covered by the prospectus by filing a prospectus supplement that contains specific information about the securities and specific terms being offered. Under the prospectus, the Company has issued a principal amount of $2,300.0 million of fixed unsecured and unsubordinated Senior Notes (the “Notes”), 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 $5.7 million of debt discounts for the Notes. At March 31, 2012, the unamortized debt discount balance was $4.4 million. The debt discounts are amortized over the lives of the associated Notes using the effective interest method. The aggregate net proceeds from the Notes offerings in 2010 were $2,276.4 million after deducting the debt discounts as well as underwriting discounts of $17.9 million. Total deferred financing costs associated with the issuances of the Notes were $21.8 million, including the $17.9 million of underwriting discounts and $3.9 million of legal and accounting fees. At March 31, 2012, the unamortized issuance costs for the Notes were $15.8 million which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 6.3 years. The Company recognized aggregate interest expense, net of hedging transactions, of $27.4 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 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, 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. At March 31, 2012, the Company held the carrying value of $250.0 million, and the related debt discount, of the 2013 Notes in current liabilities. Convertible Senior Notes During January 2012, the Company notified the holders of the 1  1/2% Convertible Senior Note due 2024 (2024 Notes) of its intention to redeem all of the outstanding 2024 Notes on February 15, 2012. During February 2012, the Company redeemed the outstanding 2024 Notes, with no excess of the 2024 Notes’ conversion value over par, in $450.0 million of cash. The Company did not recognize any gain or loss on the settlement of the 2024 Notes. At December 31, 2011, the Company held the then carrying value of $448.3 million for the 2024 Notes in current liabilities. During May 2011, the Company notified the holders of the 3  1/4% Convertible Senior Note due 2025 (2025 Notes) of its intention to redeem all of the outstanding 2025 Notes on June 15, 2011 at par value. In response to the Company’s announcement and prior to the redemption date, holders of a principal value of $347.5 million of 2025 Notes exercised their options to convert the Notes based on the conversion prices of $49.13 and settled the par value in cash and the excess of the 2025 Notes’ conversion value over par in 0.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining outstanding 2025 Notes, approximately $2.5 million were settled in cash. The Company did not recognize any gain or loss on the settlement of the 2025 Notes.   The Company recognized total interest cost of $2.5 million and $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively, based on the effective interest rates of 6.10% and 5.95% for the 2024 and 2025 Notes, respectively, during the periods these notes were outstanding. The interest expense consisted of $0.8 million and $4.5 million of contractual interest based on the stated coupon rate and $1.7 million and $7.2 million of amortization of the discount on the liability component associated with the bifurcation requirements prescribed by ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

4. Lines of Credit During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Facility) for $750.0 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 10 to 27.5 basis points; letter of credit fees ranging from 100 to 200 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 zero to 100 basis points plus the higher of a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, b) Bank of America’s prime rate, or c) the Eurocurrency rate plus 100 basis points. The Eurocurrency borrowing rate is a margin of 100 to 200 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company withdrew $200.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and subsequently repaid $75.0 million, for an outstanding balance of $125.0 million as of March 31, 2012. Additionally, the Company has issued $12.7 million of letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving remaining available credit of $612.3 million. The applicable borrowing rate was 1.72% for the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company extinguished the previously existing revolving credit facility of $500.0 million and as a result recognized a $3.7 million loss, recorded in interest expense, on unamortized deferred financing costs. As of March 31, 2012 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 $8.7 million at March 31, 2012, none of which was outstanding at March 31, 2012.

5. Commitments and Contingencies Letters of Credit The Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $34.4 million at March 31, 2012, of which $16.5 million was to support performance bond agreements, $9.4 million was to support liabilities associated with the Company’s self-insured worker’s compensation programs, $4.8 million was to support its building lease requirements, and $3.7 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 March 31, 2012, future employment contract commitments for such key executives were approximately $32.2 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 As a result of contingent consideration arrangements associated with certain business acquisitions, the Company may have future payment obligations which are based on certain technological or operational milestones. In accordance with 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, a $1.9 million favorable adjustment to contingent consideration liabilities was recorded in cost of revenues, offset by a $3.1 million time value accretion recorded in interest expenses as subsequent fair value adjustments to the contingent considerations liabilities. There were no adjustments made during the three months ended March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, the total amount accrued for contingent consideration liabilities was $3.7 million, of which $2.9 million was included in current liabilities. 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, $283.1 million of current contingent consideration liabilities was paid, of which $282.2 million was a result of the $300.0 million milestone arrangement related to the Ion Torrent acquisition. The $300.0 million milestone was achieved during the year ended December 31, 2011 and paid in January 2012 in a combination of $192.4 million in cash and approximately 2.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock or the equivalent of $107.6 million at the time of settlement. The $300.0 million was accrued for by an aggregate of $282.2 million in contingent consideration liabilities together with a $17.8 million deferred compensation accrual at December 31, 2011.   For more information on contingent consideration valuation, refer Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. Environmental Liabilities As a result of previous mergers and acquisitions, the Company assumed certain environmental exposure liabilities. At March 31, 2012, aggregate undiscounted environmental reserves were $9.1 million, including current reserves of $5.1 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. 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. Guarantees The Company is a guarantor of a pension plan benefit that was assumed in conjunction with the AB merger 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, because 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.

6. Pension Plans and Postretirement Health and Benefit Program The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering its United States employees and employees in several foreign countries.   The components of net periodic pension cost (benefit) for the Company’s pension plans and postretirement benefits plans for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:   <table

7. Income Taxes Income taxes are determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate applied against income, and then adjusted for the tax impacts of certain significant and discrete items. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company treated the tax impact related to the following as discrete events for which the tax effect was recognized separately from the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate: re-measurement of beginning of year state deferred taxes due to decision to elect the California single sales factor, benefits and expenses related to return to provision adjustments, changes in tax reserves, change in the United States tax on un-repatriated foreign earnings, changes in foreign tax rates, disqualifying dispositions of qualified stock grants, and changes in judgment regarding the realization of beginning of the year deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective tax rate recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 15.2%. Excluding the impact of the discrete items discussed above, the effective tax rate would have been 24.9%. Due to strong growth in actual and forecasted United States earnings, the Company has elected to use the single sales factor for calculating income to be apportioned to California in 2012. The election reduces the California effective rate in 2012 and future years and requires the Company to re-measure its California deferred taxes. The impact on the tax expense was a benefit of approximately $14.7 million or 9.4% on the quarterly tax rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company received a five year extension of its tax holiday from the Singapore taxing authorities which provides for a zero tax rate on certain manufacturing activities performed in Singapore. This extended tax holiday runs through June 30, 2019. In addition to the extension of the prior holiday, the Company was successful in negotiating a separate tax holiday for new products to be manufactured in Singapore. This tax holiday will provide for a zero tax rate on earnings from covered products until December 31, 2021. The impact on the annual effective tax rate was 2.4% and increased earnings per share by approximately $0.02 for the quarter. 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, or a reduction in non-current deferred tax assets, 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. It is reasonably possible that there will be a reduction to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits up to $11.1 million in the next twelve months.

8. 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company repurchased an additional 4.0 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $185.0 million. As of March 31, 2012, there was $12.0 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 three months ended March 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 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. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, foreign cash accounts, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company invests its excess cash into financial instruments which are readily convertible into cash, such as marketable securities, money market funds, corporate notes, government securities, highly liquid debt instruments, time deposits, and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company has established guidelines to maintain safety and liquidity for our financial instruments, and the cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Investments consisted of the following:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="82%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">March 31, 2012</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">December 31, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom">(in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">(unaudited)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td colspan="2" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Short-term </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Bank time deposits </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">28,420</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">26,559</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 bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Total short-term investments </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">28,420</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">26,559</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Long-term </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Equity securities </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">24,162</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">24,996</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 long-term investments </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">24,162</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">24,996</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 bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Total investments </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">52,582</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">51,555</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> ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires the Company to establish a framework for measuring fair value. The framework requires the valuation of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements using a three tiered approach and fair value measurement be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; Level 3: 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).   The following table represents the financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the financial statements of the Company subject to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and the valuation approach applied to each class of financial instruments:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"

</table> At March 31, 2012, the carrying value of the financial instruments measured and classified within level 1 was based on quoted prices and marked to market. The Company manages the Life Technologies Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) which allows eligible directors and employees to defer, on a pre-tax basis, a portion or all of their compensation, bonuses, or director’s fees. As of March 31, 2012, the Company held $26.9 million in deferred compensation plan assets which were invested in mutual funds. The fair market value of the assets held in the Deferred Compensation Plan was based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets. The Company carries a corresponding deferred compensation liability of $26.9 million as of March 31, 2012 in other long-term obligations in its Consolidated Balance Sheet. Exchange traded derivatives are valued using quoted market prices, when available, and classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 derivatives include foreign currency forward contracts for which fair value is determined by using observable market spot rates and forward points adjusted by risk-adjusted discount rates. The risk-adjusted discount rate is derived by United States dollar zero coupon yield bonds for the corresponding duration of the maturity of derivatives, then adjusted with a counter party default risk for the value of our derivative assets or our credit risk for the value of our derivative liabilities. Credit risk is derived by observable credit default swaps (CDS) spreads. Because CDS spreads information is not available for our Company, our credit risk is determined by analyzing CDS spreads of similar size public entities in the same industry with similar credit ratings. The value of our derivatives discounted by risk-adjusted discount rates represents the present value of amounts estimated to be received for the assets or paid to transfer the liabilities at the measurement date from a marketplace participant in settlement of these instruments. Level 3 Fair Value Measurements Contingent consideration arrangements obligate the Company to pay former owners of an acquired entity if specified future events occur or conditions are met such as the achievement of certain technological milestones or operational milestones. The Company measures such liabilities using level 3 unobservable inputs, applying the income approach, such as the discounted cash flow technique, or the probability-weighted scenario method. The Company used various key assumptions, such as the probability of achievement on the agreed milestones arrangement and the discount rate, to represent the non-performing risk factors and time value when applying the income approach. The Company continuously monitors the fair value of the contingent considerations, with subsequent revisions reflected in the Statement of Operations in the line items commensurate with the underlying nature of milestone arrangements. For further discussion on contingent consideration accounting, refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies”. At March 31, 2012, the Company’s level 3 liabilities, or a potential exposure to the existing contingent consideration agreements, individually or collectively, are not considered material and reasonable changes in the unobservable inputs would not be expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For financial instrument liabilities with significant level 3 inputs, the following table summarizes the activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012.   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="82%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="12%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> (in thousands) (unaudited) </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">Contingent Considerations</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Beginning balance at January 1, 2012 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">284,753</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Transfers into Level 3 from business combinations </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,995</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Settlements* </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(283,098</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Foreign currency translation adjustments </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">54</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 bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Ending balance at March 31, 2012 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">3,704</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Total amount of unrealized losses for the period included in other comprehensive loss attributable to the change in fair market value of related liabilities still held at the reporting date </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>  </table>   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="2%" valign="top" align="left">*</td> <td align="left" valign="top">Includes $282.2 million of Ion Torrent milestone payment. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. </td> </tr> </table>   Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Non-financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value subsequent to initial recognition when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. There were no material non-financial assets and liabilities deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company evaluates its investments in equity and debt securities that are accounted for using the equity method or cost method to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment or a credit loss exists at period end. At March 31, 2012, the Company held an aggregate $24.2 million of long-term investments in equity securities that are accounted for under the cost method. The Company assesses these investments for impairment each quarter, but does not calculate a fair value. Due to the nature of these investments, mainly non-public and early stage companies, the Company believes calculating a fair value not to be practicable. In the event the Company identified an indicator of impairment, the assessment of fair value would be based on all available factors, and may include valuation methodologies using level 3 unobservable inputs, which include discounted cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds, net investment values and appraisals, as appropriate. At March 31, 2012, the Company determined that there was no event or change in circumstances that occurred which had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the cost method investments during the three months ended March 31, 2012, and accordingly no material impairment charges were recorded during the period. Foreign Currencies and Derivative Financial Instruments The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of foreign financial statements and the effect of exchange rate changes on intercompany receivables and payables of a long-term investment nature are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. These adjustments will affect net income only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying investment in a foreign subsidiary. Some of the Company’s reporting entities conduct a portion of their business in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. These transactions give rise to receivables and payables that are denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. The value of these receivables and payables is subject to changes in currency exchange rates from the point in which the transactions are originated until the settlement in cash. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses in the value of these receivables and payables are included in the determination of net income. Net currency exchange gains (losses) recognized on business transactions, net of hedging transactions, were $0.3 million and $(2.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively, and such gains and losses are included in other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. To manage the foreign currency exposure risk, the Company uses derivatives for activities in entities that have receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on the value of financial contracts entered into to hedge the exchange rate exposure of these receivables and payables are also included in the determination of net income as they have not been designated for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These contracts, which settle in April 2012 through July 2012, effectively fix the exchange rate at which these specific receivables and payables will be settled in, so that gains or losses on the forward contracts offset the gains or losses from changes in the value of the underlying receivables and payables. At March 31, 2012, the Company had a notional principal amount of $814.7 million in foreign currency forward contracts outstanding to hedge currency risk relative to our foreign receivables and payables. The Company’s international operating units conduct business in, and have functional currencies that differ from the parent entity, and therefore, the ultimate conversion of these sales to cash in United States dollars is subject to fluctuations in foreign currency. The Company assesses the appropriate risk management strategy, including hedging, to limit this exposure on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from changes in currency exchange rates. Upon entering derivative transactions, when the United States dollar strengthens significantly against foreign currencies, the decline in the United States dollar value of future foreign currency revenue is offset by gains in the value of the forward contracts designated as hedges. Conversely, when the United States dollar weakens, the opposite occurs. The Company’s currency exposures vary, but are primarily concentrated in the euro, British pound, and Japanese yen. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any foreign currency forward contracts outstanding to hedge foreign currency revenue risk under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company will continuously monitor the impact of foreign currency risk upon the financial results as part of the Company’s risk management program and at management’s discretion may enter into derivative transactions. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company used foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk on forecasted foreign currency intercompany sales. The change in fair value prior to their maturity was accounted for as a cash flow hedge, and recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets according to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company reclassed deferred gains or losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income into revenue when the consolidated earnings were impacted, which for intercompany sales were when the inventory was sold to a third-party. For intercompany sales hedging, the Company used an inventory turnover ratio for each international operating unit to align the timing of a hedged item and a hedging instrument to impact the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the same reporting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not have any losses or gains related to the ineffective portion of its hedging instruments in other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No hedging relationships were terminated as a result of ineffective hedging or forecasted transactions no longer probable of occurring for foreign currency forward contacts. 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 affect interest expense.

concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. We attempt to minimize the risks related to cash and cash equivalents and investments by using highly-rated financial institutions that invest in a broad and diverse range of financial instruments. We have established guidelines relative to credit ratings and maturities intended to maintain safety and liquidity. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to our large and diverse customer base, which is dispersed over different geographic areas. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses and such losses have historically been within our expectations. Our investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with our investment policy that defines allowable investments, specifies credit quality standards and limits the credit exposure of any single issuer. The Company does sell to various institutions in Southern Europe, particularly Spain and Italy, which are either partially or directly funded by government institutions. Given the current fiscal environment, the Company is continuously monitoring the credit and economic conditions of our customer base. In certain cases in this region, there have been customers for which days outstanding has increased while payment is pursued. The Company believes its current reserves are appropriate given the current economic condition of its customers. If continued deterioration was to occur in these markets, we may not be able to collect on receivables and our write-offs of uncollectible accounts may increase. Our investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with our investment policy that defines allowable investments, specifies credit quality standards and limits the credit exposure of any single issuer. We continue to monitor the global economic environment, including that of the Eurozone. We do not believe the current economic uncertainties in several European markets, including Greece, Spain, Italy, and Portugal, will have a material adverse effect on our investment portfolio or future results of operations. Our derivatives instruments have an element of risk in that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. We attempt to minimize this risk by limiting the counterparties to a diverse group of highly-rated domestic and international financial institutions. In the event of non-performance by these counterparties, the asset position carrying values of our financial instruments represent the maximum amount of loss we could incur as of March 31, 2012. However, we do not expect to record any losses as a result of counterparty default in the foreseeable future. We do not require and are not required to pledge collateral for these financial instruments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes or for activities other than risk management and we are not a party to leveraged derivatives. In addition, we do not carry any master netting arrangements to mitigate the credit risk. The Company continually evaluates the costs and benefits of its hedging program. Debt Obligations The Company has certain financial instruments in which the carrying value does not equal the fair value. The estimated fair value of the senior notes and the convertible senior notes was determined by using observable market information (level 1 inputs).

Share-Based Compensation Under the Life Technologies Corporation 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”), the Company has the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, performance awards, and deferred stock awards with 11.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for the granting of new awards. Stock option awards are granted to eligible employees and directors at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of such stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years, and are exercisable in whole or in installments and expire ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are granted to eligible employees and directors and represent rights to receive shares of common stock at a future date, generally vesting over three or four years. An exercise price and monetary payment are not required for receipt or issuance of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, instead, consideration is furnished in the form of the participant’s services to the Company. The compensation cost for these awards is valued based on the estimated fair value of such award on the date of grant. Under the Company’s qualified employee stock purchase plan, all eligible employees of the Company may elect to withhold up to 15% of their compensation to purchase shares of the Company’s stock on a quarterly basis at a discounted price equal to 85% of the lower of the employee’s offering price or the closing price of the stock on the date of purchase. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Black-Scholes model) to value share-based employee stock option and purchase right awards. The determination of fair value of stock-based payment awards using an option-pricing model requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of share-based compensation cost recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Among these estimates that affect share-based compensation cost recognized are the expected term of options, estimated forfeitures, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate. The expected term of share-based awards represents the weighted-average period the awards are expected to remain outstanding and is an input in the Black-Scholes model. In determining the expected term of options, the Company considers various factors including the vesting period of options granted, employees’ historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior, expected volatility of the Company’s stock and aggregation by homogeneous employee groups. The Company uses a combination of the historical volatility of its stock price and the implied volatility of market-traded options of the Company’s stock with terms of up to approximately one year to estimate the expected volatility assumption input to the Black-Scholes model in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The Company’s decision to use a combination of historical and implied volatility was based upon the availability of actively traded options of its stock and its assessment that such a combination was more representative of future expected stock price trends. The risk-free interest rate is based upon United States Treasury securities with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the share-based awards. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s expectation of future dividend payouts. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock.   The Company is required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods on a cumulative basis in the period the estimated forfeiture rate changes. The Company considered its historical experience of pre-vesting option forfeitures as the basis to arrive at its estimated annual pre-vesting option forfeiture rate of 5.6% and 5.7% per year for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. All option awards, including those with graded vesting, were valued as a single award with a single average expected term and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. At March 31, 2012, there was $21.1 million remaining in unrecognized compensation cost related to employee stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years. No compensation cost was capitalized in inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as the amounts involved were not material.   Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units represent a right to receive shares of common stock at a future date determined in accordance with the participant’s award agreement. An exercise price and monetary payment are not required for receipt of restricted stock units or the shares issued in settlement of the award. Instead, consideration is furnished in the form of the participant’s services to the Company. Restricted stock units have either graded vesting terms of four years, or cliff vesting terms which generally vest over three years. Compensation cost for these awards is based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company estimated pre-vesting forfeitures and applied an annual pre-vesting forfeiture rate of 7.0% and 8.0% for restricted stock units with graded vesting terms and cliff vesting terms, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not estimate a forfeiture rate to restricted stock units as historical grants were granted primarily to executives and directors with minimal forfeiture activity. At March 31, 2012 there was $87.7 million remaining in unrecognized compensation cost related to these awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. The weighted average fair value of restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $42.94 and $55.69, respectively.   Deferred Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Awards Deferred stock awards are fully vested and expensed when issued, but shares are placed in a deferral account under the Life Technologies Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), at an eligible employee’s or director’s discretion, until distributed to the employee or director at a future date. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows eligible directors and employees to defer, on a pre-tax basis, a portion or all of their compensation, bonuses, or director’s fees in the form of cash or deferred stock awards. The deferred compensation plan provides matching contributions by the Company to the participants, based on the deferred compensation plan agreement, in the form of restricted stock awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company granted restricted stock awards with a total deferred compensation value of $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, which will be recognized over the requisite service period of three years with an applicable forfeiture rate. The restricted stock awards, issued but unvested, are held in a deferral account, and are subject to a three year cliff vesting. Refer to Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for further information on the fair market valuation of the deferred compensation plan assets.

As a result of contingent consideration arrangements associated with certain business acquisitions, the Company may have future payment obligations which are based on certain technological or operational milestones. In accordance with 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, a $1.9 million favorable adjustment to contingent consideration liabilities was recorded in cost of revenues, offset by a $3.1 million time value accretion recorded in interest expenses as subsequent fair value adjustments to the contingent considerations liabilities. There were no adjustments made during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
