We sell the first and only rapid point-of-care HIV test approved for use in the domestic consumer retail or over-the-counter (OTC) market. We also manufacture and sell oral fluid collection devices used to collect, stabilize and store samples of genetic material for molecular testing in the consumer genetic, clinical genetic testing, academic research, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, and animal genetics markets. Lastly, we manufacture and sell medical devices used for the removal of benign skin lesions by cryosurgery, or freezing. Our products are sold in the United States and internationally to various clinical laboratories, hospitals, clinics, community-based organizations, public health organizations, research and academic institutions, distributors, government agencies, physicians offices, and commercial and industrial entities. Our OTC HIV and cryosurgical products are sold to retail pharmacies and mass merchandisers, and our OTC HIV product is also sold to consumers over the internet.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OraSure Technologies, Inc. (OraSure) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DNA Genotek, Inc. (DNAG). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. References herein to we, us, our, or the Company mean OraSure and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations for these interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories and assumptions utilized in impairment testing for intangible assets and goodwill, as well as calculations related to contingencies and accruals, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on managements best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, using historical experience and other factors which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the current economic environment. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity and foreign currency markets, reductions in government funding and declines in consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment and other factors will be reflected in the financial statements in those future periods.
Short-Term Investments. We consider all short-term investments to be available-for-sale securities. These securities are comprised of guaranteed investment certificates with purchased maturities greater than ninety days. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, based upon quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported in stockholders equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
-7-
Our available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2014 consisted of guaranteed investment certificates with amortized cost and fair value of $4,437. As of December 31, 2013, we had no available-for-sale securities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. As of June 30, 2014, the carrying values of cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values based on their short-term nature.
Fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis are required to 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 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; and
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).
We offer a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain eligible employees and members of our Board of Directors. The assets of the plan are held in the name of the Company at a third-party financial institution. Separate accounts are maintained for each participant to reflect the amounts deferred by the participant and all earnings and losses on those deferred amounts. The assets of the plan are held in mutual funds and Company stock. The fair value of the plan assets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1,313 and $677, respectively, and was calculated using the quoted market prices of the assets as of those dates. All investments in the plan are classified as trading securities and measured as Level 1 instruments. The fair value of plan assets is included in other assets with the same amount included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
All of our available-for-sale securities were classified and measured as Level 1 instruments as of June 30, 2014.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined on a first-in, first-out basis and are comprised of the following:

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions or improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Buildings are depreciated over twenty to forty years, while computer equipment, machinery and equipment, and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over two to ten years. Building improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the related property amounts are relieved from the accounts, and any gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. Accumulated depreciation of property and equipment as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $29,843 and $28,390, respectively.

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price we paid over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisition of DNAG in August 2011. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if we believe that indicators of impairment exist. Current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles permit us to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then we would not be required to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, performing the two-step impairment test is necessary. The first step of the two-step quantitative impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its aggregate carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting units fair value, we perform the second step of the test to determine the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step involves measuring any impairment by comparing the implied fair values of the affected reporting units goodwill and intangible assets with their respective carrying values.
We performed our last annual impairment assessment as of July 31, 2013 utilizing a qualitative evaluation and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our DNAG reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. We performed our last quantitative impairment test for goodwill as of July 31, 2012 and determined there was no impairment. That quantitative assessment determined that our DNAG reporting unit had a fair value in excess of its carrying value (including goodwill of $25,179) of approximately 13%. We believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of our reporting unit. If actual future results are not consistent with managements estimates and assumptions, we may have to take an impairment charge in the future related to our goodwill. Future impairment tests will continue to be performed annually in the fiscal third quarter, or sooner if a triggering event occurs. As of June 30, 2014, we believe no indicators of impairment exist.
The change in goodwill from $23,782 as of December 31, 2013 to $23,674 as of June 30, 2014 is a result of foreign currency translation.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize product revenues when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title has passed and collection is reasonably assured. Product revenues are recorded net of allowances for any discounts or rebates. Other than for our OraQuick® In-Home HIV test, we do not grant price protection or product return rights to our customers, except for warranty returns. Historically, returns arising from warranty issues have been infrequent and immaterial. Accordingly, we expense warranty returns as incurred.
We began selling our OraQuick® In-Home HIV test in the third quarter of 2012. From launch through November 2013, our revenue recognition practices with respect to the OraQuick® In-Home HIV test were different than those customarily used in the consumer package goods industry. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, product revenue cannot be recognized unless the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. Because our OraQuick® In-Home HIV test was a new product for which we did not have a historical record of returns, we did not believe we could reasonably determine a return rate. As a result, initially we did not recognize revenue when we shipped to the retail trade. For these product shipments, we invoiced the retailer or distributor, recorded deferred revenue at gross invoice sales price, and classified the cost basis of the product held by the retailer or distributor as a component of inventory. We then recognized revenue upon the consummation of a sale to the consumer either in a store or over the internet. With the passage of time, however, we concluded that we have sufficient data and visibility into our distribution channel to develop a reasonable estimate of the level of expected returns. As such, commencing in December 2013, we recognized previously deferred revenue and its related cost of goods sold, and began to recognize revenue for this product upon shipment to the retailers or distributors. Accordingly, revenues in the first half of 2014 were recorded based upon shipments into the distribution channel, while revenues in the first half of 2013 were recorded based upon the consummation of a sale to the consumer.
Our net revenues recorded on sales of the OraQuick® In-Home HIV test represent total gross revenues, less an allowance for expected returns, and customer allowances for cooperative advertising discounts, rebates, and chargebacks. All of these allowances are estimates established by management, based on currently available information and are adjusted to reflect known changes in the factors that impact those estimates. These allowances are recorded as a reduction of gross revenue when recognized in our statements of operations.
Royalty income from the grant of license rights is recognized during the period in which the revenue is earned and the amount is determinable from the licensee.
We record shipping and handling charges billed to our customers as product revenue and the related expense as cost of products sold. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities, such as sales or value-added taxes, are excluded from product revenues.
On June 10, 2014, we entered into a Master Program Services and Co-Promotion Agreement with AbbVie Bahamas Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie), to co-promote our OraQuick® HCV Rapid Test in the United States. The product will be used to test individuals at-risk for the hepatitis C virus (HCV). We will be responsible for manufacturing and selling the product into all markets.
Under the agreement, we have granted exclusive promotion rights to AbbVie for the OraQuick® HCV test in certain markets and will provide certain additional services in support of HCV testing. In exchange for these exclusive rights and other services we will provide to AbbVie, we will receive up to $75,000 in payments over the term of the agreement, which runs through December 31, 2019. We plan to recognize the payments ratably on a monthly basis over the life of the agreement. In addition, if certain performance-based milestones are achieved, we will be eligible to receive additional payments annually ranging from $3,500 to $55,500 over the life of the agreement beginning in 2015. The agreement also contains certain termination, indemnification and other provisions, typical of agreements of this type. Payments received under this agreement will be recorded as licensing and product development revenue in our statements of operations.
Customer Sales Returns and Allowances. We do not grant return rights to our customers for any product, except for our OraQuick® In-Home HIV test. Accordingly, we have recorded an estimate of expected returns as a reduction of gross OraQuick® In-Home HIV product revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. This estimate reflects our historical sales experience to retailers and consumers, as well as other retail factors, and is reviewed regularly to ensure that it reflects potential product returns. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the reserve for sales returns and allowances was $363 and $279, respectively. If actual product returns differ materially from our reserve amount, or if a determination is made that this products distribution would be discontinued in whole or in part by certain retailers, then we would need to adjust our reserve. Should the actual level of product returns vary significantly from our estimates, our operating and financial results could be materially affected.

Termination Settlement. On November 21, 2013, we terminated our assay collaboration agreement with Roche Diagnostics (Roche). Pursuant to this termination agreement, Roche paid us $8,300 which was recorded as a reduction of operating expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Roche agreed to provide certain transitional product support services to us and to continue to supply certain of the assays developed under the collaboration on a transitional basis for up to five years following the termination. We had the right to stop the supply of assays prior to the end of this five-year period and to receive an additional payment from Roche of up to $5,500 depending on how early in that five-year period the supply obligation was ended. During the second quarter of 2014, we issued our final purchase order for fully-automated assays previously developed under the terminated collaboration agreement and as such, have recorded $5,500 as a reduction of operating expense in our consolidated statement of operations and a receivable equal to the same amount in other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet. The $5,500 payment was made by Roche in July 2014.
Deferred Revenue. We record deferred revenue when funds are received prior to the recognition of the associated revenue. Deferred revenue at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 included customer prepayments of $694 and $1,119, respectively.
Customer and Vendor Concentrations. One of our customers, Reckitt Benckiser, accounted for approximately 11% of our accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2014. We had no significant concentrations in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013. We had no significant concentrations (greater than 10%) in revenues for the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
We currently purchase certain products and critical components of our products from sole-supply vendors, and if these vendors are unable or unwilling to supply the required components and products, we could be subject to increased costs and substantial delays in the delivery of our products to our customers. Also, our subsidiary, DNAG, uses two third-party suppliers to manufacture its products. Our inability to have a timely supply of any of these components and products could have a material adverse effect on our business, as well as our financial condition and results of operations.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include incremental shares from the assumed vesting or exercise of dilutive securities, such as common stock options and unvested restricted stock, unless the impact is antidilutive. The number of incremental shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised and unvested restricted shares were vested, and the proceeds from such exercises or vesting were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market prices during the reporting period.

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, outstanding common stock options and unvested restricted stock, representing 3,594 and 5,684 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, outstanding common stock options and unvested restricted stock, representing 3,646 and 5,237 shares, respectively, were similarly excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Foreign Currency Translation. The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a separate component of stockholders equity.
Transaction gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currency are included in income in the period in which the change occurs.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. We classify items of other comprehensive loss by their nature and disclose the accumulated balance of other comprehensive loss separately from accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital in the stockholders equity section of our balance sheet.
We have defined the Canadian dollar as the functional currency of our Canadian subsidiary, DNAG, and as such, the results of its operations are translated into U.S. dollars, which is the reporting currency of the Company. The $156 and $2,585 currency translation adjustments recorded in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, are largely the result of the translation of our Canadian operations balance sheets into U.S. dollars.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued converged guidance on recognizing revenue in contracts with customers, ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The intent of the new standard is to improve financial reporting and comparability of revenue globally. The core principle of the standard is for a company to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with no early adoption permitted. We will evaluate the effects, if any, which adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3. | Stockholders Equity |
Stock-Based Awards
We grant stock-based awards under the OraSure Technologies, Inc. Stock Award Plan, as amended and restated (the Stock Plan). The Stock Plan permits stock-based awards to employees, outside directors and consultants or other third-party advisors. Awards which may be granted under the Stock Plan include qualified incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards. We recognize compensation expense for stock option and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. To satisfy the exercise of options or to issue new restricted stock, we normally issue new shares rather than purchase shares on the open market.
Total compensation cost related to stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1,499 and $1,363, respectively. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $202 and $301 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As a result of the Companys net operating loss carryforward position, no actual income tax benefit was realized from stock option exercises during these periods.
Compensation cost of $1,370 and $1,472 related to restricted shares was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In connection with the vesting of restricted shares, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 106 and 120 shares, respectively, with aggregate values of $639 and $801, respectively, were withheld and retired in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations.

5. | Income Taxes |
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded foreign deferred tax benefits of $174 and $43, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded foreign deferred tax benefits of $249 and $659, respectively. The foreign deferred tax benefits are associated with certain Canadian research and development and investment tax credits and DNAGs loss before income taxes. The income tax benefits associated with DNAG are considered realizable based upon the estimated scheduled reversal of the deferred tax liabilities recorded in connection with the acquisition of DNAG.
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes, and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The significant components of our total deferred tax liability as of June 30, 2014 relate to the tax effects of the basis differences between the intangible assets acquired in the DNAG acquisition for financial reporting and tax purposes.
In 2008, we established a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax asset, and management believes the full valuation allowance is still appropriate as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 since the facts and circumstances necessitating the allowance have not changed. As a result, no U.S. federal or state income tax benefit was recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

6. | Commitments and Contingencies |
From time-to-time, we are involved in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In managements opinion, based upon the advice of counsel, the outcomes of such actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our future financial position or results of operations.
7. | Business Segment Information |
We operate our business within two reportable segments: our OSUR business, which consists of the development, manufacture and sale of oral fluid diagnostic products and specimen collection devices and the manufacture and sale of medical devices used for the removal of benign skin lesions by cryosurgery; and our molecular collection systems or DNAG business, which consists of the manufacture, development and sale of oral fluid collection devices that are used to collect, stabilize and store samples of genetic material for molecular testing. OSUR revenues are derived primarily from products sold in the United States and internationally to various clinical laboratories, hospitals, clinics, community-based organizations, public health organizations, distributors, government agencies, physicians offices, and commercial and industrial entities. Revenues from OSURs OTC products result from sales to retail pharmacies and mass merchandisers, and to consumers over the internet. OSUR also derives revenues from licensing and product development activities. DNAG revenues result primarily from products sold into the commercial market which consists of companies and other entities engaged in consumer genetics, clinical genetic testing, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, and animal and livestock genetic testing. DNAG products are also sold into the academic research market, which consists of research laboratories, universities and hospitals.
We organized our operating segments according to the nature of the products included in those segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2). We evaluate performance of our operating segments based on revenue and operating income (loss). We do not allocate interest income, interest expense, other income, other expenses or income taxes to our operating segments. Reportable segments have no inter-segment revenues.

-16-
Overview
We develop, manufacture, market and sell oral fluid diagnostic products and specimen collection devices using our proprietary oral fluid technologies, as well as other diagnostic products including immunoassays and other in vitro diagnostic tests that are used on other specimen types. Our diagnostic products include tests that are performed on a rapid basis at the point-of-care and tests that are processed in a laboratory. We sell the OraQuick® In-Home HIV test, the first and only rapid point-of-care HIV test approved for use in the domestic consumer retail market. We also manufacture and sell oral fluid collection devices used to collect, stabilize, and store samples of genetic material for molecular testing in the clinical genetic testing, academic research, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, and animal genetics markets. Lastly, we manufacture and sell medical devices used for the removal of benign skin lesions by cryosurgery, or freezing. Our products are sold in the United States and internationally to various clinical laboratories, hospitals, clinics, community-based organizations and other public health organizations, research and academic institutions, distributors, government agencies, physicians offices, and commercial and industrial entities. Our over-the-counter (OTC) HIV and cryosurgery products are sold to retail pharmacies and mass merchandisers, and our OTC HIV product is also sold to consumers over the internet.
Recent Developments
HCV Co-Promotion Agreement
On June 10, 2014, we entered into a Master Program Services and Co-Promotion Agreement with AbbVie Bahamas Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie), to co-promote our OraQuick® HCV Rapid Test in the United States. The product will be used to test individuals at-risk for the hepatitis C virus (HCV). We will be responsible for manufacturing and selling the product into all markets.
Under the agreement, we have granted exclusive promotion rights to AbbVie for the OraQuick® HCV test in certain markets and will provide certain additional services in support of HCV testing. In exchange for these exclusive rights and other services we will provide to AbbVie, we will receive up to $75.0 million in aggregate payments over the term of the agreement, which runs through December 31, 2019. We plan to recognize the payments ratably on a monthly basis over the life of the agreement. As of June 30, 2014, we recognized $775,000 in revenues from payments due from AbbVie. The first $15.0 million payment was received in July 2014. In addition, if certain performance-based milestones are achieved, we will be eligible to receive additional payments annually ranging from $3.5 to $55.5 million over the life of the agreement beginning in 2015. The agreement also contains certain termination, indemnification and other provisions typical of agreements of this type. Payments received under this agreement will be recorded as licensing and product development revenue in our statements of operations.
Drugs-of-Abuse Assay Collaboration Agreements
We continue to make progress under our agreement with Thermo Fisher Scientific (Thermo Fisher) to develop and supply homogenous fully-automated oral fluid drugs of abuse assays to be used with a new version of our Intercept® oral fluid specimen collection device. As a result of this progress, in late June 2014 we issued our final purchase order for fully-automated assays previously developed under our now terminated collaboration agreement with Roche Diagnostics (Roche). Under the terms of the termination of our Roche collaboration, we received $5.5 million as a result of the submission of our final purchase order. This payment was recorded as a receivable on our balance sheet and as a reduction of operating expense on our consolidated statement of operations for the second quarter. The $5.5 million payment was received in July 2014.
Current Consolidated Financial Results
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our consolidated net revenues were $49.9 million compared to $45.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net product revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 9% when compared to the first six months of 2013, primarily due to higher sales of our OraQuick® HCV, Oragene®, and cryosurgical systems products. Licensing and product development revenues for the first six months of 2014 increased 63% due to the recognition of $775,000 in exclusivity payments from AbbVie. Licensing and product development revenues for the first six months of 2013 represent royalties related to sales of Mercks OTC cryosurgical wart removal product.
-17-
Our consolidated net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3.1 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $15.5 million, or $0.28 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Results for the six months end June 30, 2014 include the $5.5 million payment received pursuant to the termination of our collaboration agreement with Roche.
Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $10.4 million, compared to $9.3 million used during the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, we had $80.3 million in cash and short-term investments compared to $93.2 million at December 31, 2013.
Economic Outlook
Many of our customers rely on public funding provided by federal, state and local governments, and this funding has been and may continue to be reduced or deferred as a result of current economic conditions. These circumstances may adversely impact our customers and suppliers, which, in turn, could adversely affect their ability to purchase our products or supply us with necessary equipment, raw materials or components. In addition, these circumstances could adversely affect our access to liquidity that may be needed to conduct or expand our business, conduct future acquisitions or make other discretionary investments.
In 2011, President Obama signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which was designed to reduce federal spending over the next 10 years by $2.5 trillion. Under that law, certain automatic cuts to discretionary, national defense and Medicare spending (often referred to as Federal sequestration) have become effective. We cannot predict whether Congress will attempt to suspend or restructure the automatic budget cuts or what other deficit reduction initiatives may be proposed by Congress. Although the full impact of sequestration is difficult to ascertain, the spending cuts implemented under this new law have adversely affected, and are expected to continue to adversely affect, our customers ability to purchase our products. In addition, other legislative or regulatory changes may be adopted which could adversely affect our ability to sell our current products or successfully develop and commercialize new products.
Business Segments
We operate our business within two reportable segments: our OSUR business, which consists of the development, manufacture and sale of oral fluid diagnostic products, specimen collection devices, and medical devices used for the removal of benign skin lesions by cryosurgery; and our DNAG or molecular collection systems business, which consists primarily of the development, manufacture and sale of oral fluid collection devices that are used to collect, stabilize, and store samples of genetic material for molecular testing. OSUR revenues are derived primarily from products sold into the United States and internationally to various clinical laboratories, hospitals, clinics, community-based organizations, public health organizations, distributors, government agencies, physicians offices, and commercial and industrial entities. Revenues from OSURs OTC products result from sales to retail pharmacies and mass merchandisers and to consumers over the internet. DNAG revenues result primarily from products sold into the commercial market, which consists of companies and other entities engaged in consumer genetics, clinical genetic testing, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, and animal genetic testing, as well as products sold into the academic research market which consists of research laboratories, universities and hospitals.

Consolidated net revenues increased 8% to $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $24.3 million in the comparable period of 2013, primarily as a result of higher sales of our OraQuick® HCV, cryosurgical systems, and molecular collection systems products. These increases were partially offset by lower domestic sales of our OraQuick® professional HIV product, OraQuick® In-Home HIV test and insurance risk assessment products. Licensing and product development revenues increased to $775,000 in the second quarter of 2014 from $274,000 in the second quarter of 2013. Licensing and product development revenues for the current quarter represent the recognition of payments from AbbVie for exclusive promotion rights and certain services we will provide under our HCV collaboration, while second quarter 2013 licensing and product development revenues represent royalties received on sales of Mercks OTC cryosurgical wart removal product.
Consolidated net revenues derived from products sold to customers outside the U.S. were $7.3 million and $5.4 million, or 28% and 22% of total net revenues, in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Because the majority of our international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates was not material to our total net revenues.

Infectious Disease Testing Market
Sales to the infectious disease testing market increased 6% to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to higher sales of our OraQuick® HCV test in both domestic and international markets and our OraQuick® professional HIV product in the international market.

Domestic OraQuick® HIV sales decreased 5% to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of some customer migration to automated 4th generation immunoassay HIV tests performed in a laboratory as recommended under new testing guidelines issued by the CDC. Also contributing to the lower domestic OraQuick® HIV sales were changes in customer ordering patterns. We anticipate that future sales of our professional HIV product will continue to be negatively affected as a result of the CDCs recommended use of automated laboratory-based blood tests and by reductions in government funding. International sales of our OraQuick® HIV test during the second quarter of 2014 increased 14% to $848,000 from $745,000 primarily due to sales in support of a significant African testing program.
During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded $1.9 million in gross revenues from sales of our OraQuick® In-Home HIV test. These revenues were partially offset by $196,000 in customer allowances, including cooperative advertising, cash discounts, and other allowances, which were netted against gross revenues in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Thus, net revenues from this product were $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to net revenues of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2013 ($2.1 million in gross revenues, partially offset by $133,000 of allowances and discounts).
OraQuick® In-Home HIV revenues recorded in the current and prior year periods are not readily comparable due to the December 2013 change in our revenue recognition policy related to this product. Since the product launch in late 2012, revenues had been recognized upon consummation of a purchase by consumers either in a store or over the internet. In December 2013, as a result of our growing experience with this product and improved ability to estimate potential product returns, we began recognizing revenues upon shipment of product to the retailers or distributors. Based on available point-of-sale data, consumer purchases declined 1% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013 which we believe was due to a decrease in broad-based media advertising.
Sales of our OraQuick® In-Home HIV test in both the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 included approximately $67,000 and $255,000, respectively, of direct sales to public health customers. We anticipate that some public health entities may choose to use a portion of their funding to purchase our OTC product in lieu of professional rapid HIV testing products.
-20-
Domestic OraQuick® HCV sales increased 77% to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $690,000 in the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to the addition of new HCV customers and higher sales to current customers who have expanded their HCV testing programs. International OraQuick® HCV sales increased 294% to $974,000 in the second quarter of 2014 from $247,000 in the second quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of purchases by a multi-national humanitarian organization that did not purchase product during the second quarter of 2013. We expect that purchases by this customer will be at a reduced rate over the balance of the year.
We believe our HCV product represents an opportunity for future sales growth, especially as new therapies for treating HCV come to market. We also expect that sales of our HCV product will be positively impacted as we implement our HCV collaboration with AbbVie. However, demand for our HCV product, particularly in the public health marketplace, has been, and will likely continue to be, tempered by the limited availability of government funding allocated to HCV testing efforts and the time and effort required to build awareness and demand for rapid HCV testing.
International orders for both our HIV and HCV products can be sporadic in nature and are often predicated upon the availability of governmental funding, the impact of competition and other factors. As such, there is no assurance that such sales will continue at the same levels in future periods.
Substance Abuse Testing Market
Sales to the substance abuse testing market increased 4% to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of higher sales of our Intercept® drug testing system. The table below shows a breakdown of our total net Intercept® revenues (dollars in thousands) generated in each market during the second quarters of 2014 and 2013.

Domestic Intercept® sales for the second quarter of 2014 increased to $1.6 million compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 largely due to the recovery of customers that were previously lost to competition. International Intercept® sales decreased 66% to $33,000 in the second quarter of 2014 from $98,000 in 2013 largely due the discontinuance of purchases by our UK distributor who in 2012 began selling its own competing oral specimen collection device. Sales to this distributor were $46,000 in the second quarter of 2013.
Cryosurgical Systems Market
Sales of our cryosurgical systems products (which includes both the physicians office and OTC markets) increased 18% to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $4.2 million in the same period of the prior year.

Sales of our Histofreezer® product to physicians offices in the United States remained relatively flat at $1.5 million in both the second quarters of 2014 and 2013. International sales of Histofreezer® decreased slightly to $229,000, compared to $257,000 in the same period of the prior year. Our long-term supply agreement for the Histofreezer® product with Koninklijke Utermöhlen, N.V., the party from whom we acquired the Histofreezer® business in 1998, terminated in late 2013, and Utermöhlen has indicated that it plans to sell a competing product similar to Histofreezer®. If Utermöhlen is successful in commercializing this product, we believe sales of our Histofreezer® product could be negatively impacted.
Sales of our OTC cryosurgical products during the second quarter of 2014 increased 33% to $3.2 million compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2013, largely due to higher sales to both our European distributor, Reckitt Benckiser, and our Latin American distributor, Genomma.
Current quarter sales to Reckitt Benckiser increased to $1.7 million, compared to $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to the launch of our product into new geographic territories and continued market penetration. Sales to Genomma increased to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2013 due to customer ordering patterns.
Insurance Risk Assessment Market
Sales to the insurance risk assessment market decreased 19% to $934,000 in the second quarter of 2014 from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, as a result of continued reduced demand in the domestic life insurance market, as well as the adoption by some underwriters of a Simplified Issues policy, pursuant to which testing for risk factors is replaced by having applicants respond to a questionnaire about their behaviors.
Licensing and Product Development
Licensing and product development revenues increased to $775,000 in the second quarter of 2014 from $274,000 in the second quarter of 2013. Licensing and product development revenues in the second quarter of 2014 represent the recognition of payments from AbbVie for exclusive promotion rights and certain services we will provide under our HCV collaboration. The first such payment of $15.0 million as required by the agreement was received in July 2014. Licensing and product development revenues in the second quarter of 2013 represent royalties paid on domestic outsales of Mercks OTC cryosurgical wart removal product, pursuant to a license and settlement agreement executed in January 2008. We stopped receiving royalties under this license when certain of our cryosurgical patents expired in August 2013.
DNAG Segment
Molecular Collection Systems
Net molecular collection systems revenues, which primarily represent sales of our Oragene® product line, increased 5% to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. Sales of Oragene® in the commercial market remained flat at $2.8 million in both periods. Revenues in the second quarter of 2014 did not include any sales to DNAGs largest commercial customer, whereas revenues in the second quarter of 2013 included approximately $1.7 million in sales to this customer. Sales of Oragene® in the academic market increased 12% largely due to the timing of orders placed by our distributors and studies performed by several larger academic customers.
-22-
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS
Consolidated gross margin was 61% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 60% for the second quarter of 2013. Gross margin for the current quarter primarily benefited from a more favorable product mix driven largely by increased DNAG sales to higher margin customers.
Consolidated operating income for the second quarter of 2014 was $2.5 million, an $8.1 million improvement from the $5.6 million operating loss reported in the second quarter of 2013. The second quarter 2014 operating income was primarily the result of the $5.5 million payment received under the terms of the termination of our drug assay collaboration with Roche. Also contributing to this improvement in operating performance were increased revenues and lower HIV OTC marketing costs during the current quarter.
OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) BY SEGMENT
OSUR Segment
OSURs gross margin was 58% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 59% in the second quarter of 2013. OSURs 2014 margin was negatively impacted by less efficient manufacturing, a shift in product mix to sales of product with lower gross margin partially offset by higher licensing and product development revenues.
Research and development expenses increased slightly to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2013 largely due to higher supply costs. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 21% to $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of lower advertising and promotional costs for our OraQuick® In-Home HIV test which totaled $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $5.4 million in second quarter of 2013. This reduction was the result of our decision to focus our marketing and promotional efforts at the retail outlet level and transition away from broad-based consumer advertising by the end of the second quarter of 2014. General and administrative expenses increased 21% to $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 due to higher legal expenses, staffing related costs and consulting costs.
All of the above, along with the $5.5 million payment from Roche, contributed to OSURs second quarter 2014 operating income of $2.2 million, which included non-cash charges of $790,000 for depreciation and amortization and $1.4 million for stock-based compensation.
DNAG Segment
DNAGs gross margin was 72% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 62% in the second quarter of 2013. This increase was directly attributable to an increased volume of high margin sales experienced in the second quarter of 2014 when compared to the second quarter of 2013.
DNAG operating expenses increased to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. Research and development expenses remained relatively flat at $623,000 in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $655,000 in the second quarter of 2013. Sales and marketing expenses increased 12% to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 due to higher staffing costs. General and administrative expenses increased to $761,000 in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $704,000 in the second quarter of 2013, also due to higher staffing costs.
All of the above contributed to DNAGs second quarter 2014 operating income of $294,000, which included non-cash charges of $779,000 for depreciation and amortization and $109,000 for stock-based compensation.
-23-
CONSOLIDATED INCOME TAXES
We continue to believe the full valuation allowance established in 2008 against OSURs total U.S. net deferred tax asset is appropriate as the facts and circumstances necessitating the allowance have not changed. As a result, no U.S. income tax expense or benefit was recorded for OSURs pre-tax income or loss in the second quarter of 2014 or 2013, respectively. A Canadian income tax benefit of $174,000 and $249,000 was recorded in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, which was associated with certain Canadian research and development and investment tax credits and DNAGs loss before income taxes. The Canadian income tax benefits are considered realizable based upon the scheduled reversal of the deferred tax liabilities recorded in connection with the acquisition of DNAG.

Consolidated net revenues increased 10% to $49.9 million in the first half of 2014 from $45.5 million in the comparable period of 2013, primarily as a result of higher sales of our OraQuick® HCV, molecular collection systems products, and cryosurgical systems products. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of our OraQuick® professional product in the domestic market and lower substance abuse and insurance risk assessment product sales. Licensing and product development revenues increased to $775,000 in the first six months of 2014 from $476,000 in the first six months of 2013. Licensing and product development revenues for the current six-month period represent the recognition of payments from AbbVie for exclusive promotion rights and certain services we will provide under our HCV collaboration, while 2013 licensing and product development revenues represent royalties received on sales of Mercks OTC cryosurgical wart removal product.
Consolidated net revenues derived from products sold to customers outside the U.S. were $13.4 million and $10.5 million, or 27% and 23% of total net revenues, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Because the majority of our international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates was not material to our total net revenues.

Domestic OraQuick® HIV sales decreased 9% to $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily caused by our customers migration to automated 4th generation immunoassay HIV tests performed in a laboratory as recommended under new CDC testing guidelines. Also contributing to the lower domestic OraQuick® HIV sales were changes in customer ordering patterns. We anticipate that future sales of our professional HIV product will continue to be negatively affected as a result of the CDCs recommended use of automated laboratory-based blood tests and by reductions in government funding. International sales of our OraQuick® HIV test during the first half of 2014 increased slightly to $1.4 million from $1.3 million in the first half of 2013.
During the first half of 2014, we recorded $4.0 million in gross revenues from sales of our OraQuick® In-Home HIV test. These revenues were partially offset by $407,000 in customer allowances, including cooperative advertising, cash discounts, and other allowances, which were netted against gross revenues in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Thus, net revenues from this product were $3.6 million for the first half of 2014 as compared to net revenues of $3.4 million in the first half of 2013 ($3.7 million in gross revenues, partially offset by $242,000 of allowances and discounts).

We anticipate that some public health entities may choose to use a portion of their funding to purchase our OTC product in lieu of professional rapid HIV testing products.
Domestic OraQuick® HCV sales increased 68% to $1.9 million in the first half of 2014 from $1.1 million in the first half of 2013, primarily due to the addition of new HCV customers and higher sales to current customers who have expanded their HCV testing programs. International OraQuick® HCV sales increased 285% to $1.9 million in the first half of 2014 from $486,000 in the first half of 2013, primarily as a result of purchases by a multi-national humanitarian organization which did not purchase product during the first six months of 2013.

Sales of our Histofreezer® product to physicians offices in the United States increased 26% to $3.0 million in the first half of 2014, compared to $2.4 million in the first half of 2013. This increase reflects below normal sales in the early months of 2013, resulting from higher distributor purchases in the fourth quarter of 2012 in advance of a price increase implemented in January 2013. During the first half of 2014, international sales of Histofreezer® decreased slightly to $538,000, compared to $605,000 in the same period of the prior year. Our long-term supply agreement for the Histofreezer® product with Koninklijke Utermöhlen, N.V., the party from whom we acquired the Histofreezer® business in 1998, terminated in late 2013, and Utermöhlen has indicated that it plans to sell a competing product similar to Histofreezer®. If Utermöhlen is successful in commercializing this product, we believe sales of our Histofreezer® product could be negatively impacted.
Sales of our OTC cryosurgical products during the first six months of 2014 increased 25% to $5.3 million compared to $4.3 million in the first six months of 2013, largely due to higher sales to both our European distributor, Reckitt Benckiser, and our Latin American distributor, Genomma.
Sales to Reckitt Benckiser increased to $3.0 million, compared to $2.2 during the first half of 2013, primarily due to the launch of our product into new geographic territories and new market segments. Sales to Genomma increased to $2.2 million in the first half of 2014 from $1.9 million in the first half of 2013 due to customer ordering patterns.
Insurance Risk Assessment Market
Sales to the insurance risk assessment market decreased 14% to $1.9 million in the first six months of 2014 from $2.2 million in the first six months of 2013, as a result of continued reduced demand in the domestic life insurance market, as well as the adoption by some underwriters of a Simplified Issues policy, pursuant to which testing for risk factors is replaced by having applicants respond to a questionnaire about their behaviors.
Licensing and Product Development
Licensing and product development revenues increased to $775,000 in the first half of 2014 from $476,000 in the first half of 2013. Licensing and product development revenues in 2014 represent the recognition of payments from AbbVie for exclusive promotion rights and certain services we will provide under our HCV collaboration. The first such payment of $15.0 million as required by the agreement was received in July 2014. Licensing and product development revenues in 2013 represent royalties paid on domestic outsales of Mercks OTC cryosurgical wart removal product, pursuant to a license and settlement agreement executed in January 2008. We stopped receiving royalties under this license when certain of our cryosurgical patents expired in August 2013.

DNAG Segment
Molecular Collection Systems
Net molecular collection systems revenues, which primarily represent sales of our Oragene® product line, increased 24% to $10.7 million in the first six months of 2014 from $8.6 million in the first six months of 2013. Sales of Oragene® in the commercial market increased approximately 31% in the first half of 2014 primarily as a result of the ordering patterns of a few of our larger commercial customers. Revenues in the first half of 2014 included approximately $1.3 million in sales to DNAGs largest commercial customer while revenues in the first half of 2013 included approximately $2.4 million in sales to this customer. Sales of Oragene® in the academic market increased 21% largely due to the timing of orders placed by our distributors and studies performed by several larger academic customers.
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS
Consolidated gross margin was 60% for the first half of 2014 compared to 58% for the first half of 2013. Gross margin for the current period primarily benefited from a more favorable product mix driven largely by increased DNAG sales to higher margin customers.
Consolidated operating loss for the first half of 2014 was $3.1 million, a $13.1 million improvement from the $16.2 million operating loss reported in the first half of 2013. The current period operating results include the $5.5 million payment received under the terms of the termination of our drug assay collaboration with Roche. Also contributing to this improvement in operating loss were higher revenues and lower HIV OTC sales and marketing costs during the first six months of 2014.
OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) BY SEGMENT
OSUR Segment
OSURs gross margin was 57% in both the first half of 2014 and 2013.
Research and development expenses decreased 17% to $4.0 million in the first half of 2014 from $4.8 million in the first half of 2013 largely due to lower clinical trial and staffing costs. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 21% to $17.9 million in the first half of 2014 from $22.8 million in the first half of 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of lower advertising and promotional costs for our OraQuick® In-Home HIV test which totaled $7.6 million in the first half of 2014, compared to $12.3 million in the first half of 2013. This reduction was the result of our decision to focus our marketing and promotional efforts at the retail outlet level and transition away from broad-based consumer advertising by the end of the first half of 2014. General and administrative expenses increased 13% to $10.1 million in the first half of 2014 from $8.9 million in the first half of 2013 due to higher legal expenses, staffing related costs and consulting costs.
All of the above, along with the $5.5 million payment from Roche, contributed to OSURs operating loss of $4.2 for the first half of 2014, million, which included non-cash charges of $1.6 million for depreciation and amortization and $2.7 million for stock-based compensation.
DNAG Segment
DNAGs gross margin was 72% in the first half of 2014 compared to 65% in the first half of 2013. This increase was directly attributable to an increased volume of high margin sales experienced in the first half of 2014 when compared to the first half of 2013.
DNAG operating expenses increased to $6.6 million in the first half of 2014 from $6.2 million in the first half of 2013. Research and development expenses remained relatively flat at $1.3 million in the first half of 2014 and 2013. Sales and marketing expenses increased 6% to $3.7 million in the first half of 2014 from $3.5 million in the first half of 2013 largely due to higher staffing costs. General and administrative expenses increased 7% to $1.6 million in the first half of 2014 from $1.5 million in the first half of 2013 also due to higher staffing expenses.
-28-
All of the above contributed to DNAGs operating income of $1.1 million for the first half of 2014, which included non-cash charges of $1.5 million for depreciation and amortization and $206,000 for stock-based compensation.
CONSOLIDATED INCOME TAXES
We continue to believe the full valuation allowance established in 2008 against OSURs total U.S. net deferred tax asset is appropriate as the facts and circumstances necessitating the allowance have not changed. As a result, no U.S. income tax benefit was recorded for OSURs pre-tax loss in the first half of 2014 or 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded Canadian income tax benefits of $43,000 and $659,000, respectively, associated with certain Canadian research and development and investment tax credits and DNAGs loss before income taxes. The Canadian income tax benefits are considered realizable based upon the scheduled reversal of the deferred tax liabilities recorded in connection with the acquisition of DNAG.

(In thousands) | ||||||||
Cash |
$ | 75,832 | $ | 93,191 | ||||
Working capital |
101,098 | 100,590 |
Our cash balances decreased $17.4 million to $75.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $93.2 million at December 31, 2013. Our working capital increased to $101.1 million at June 30, 2014 from $100.6 million at December 31, 2013.
During the first six months of 2014, we used $10.4 million in cash to finance our operating activities. Our net loss of $3.1 million was partially offset by non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $2.9 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $3.1 million and unrealized foreign currency loss of $139,000. An additional large use of cash in operating activities included a $6.0 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets largely due to the $5.5 million receivable from Roche and the $775,000 exclusivity payment due from AbbVie. Also contributing to the use of cash was a $3.8 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities associated with payment of our 2013 management incentive bonuses, royalty obligations, and certain year-end accruals, a $1.8 million increase in inventory associated with our infectious disease products, a $1.2 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from the timing of orders during the current quarter, a $418,000 increase in deferred revenues associated with increased customer prepayments, and a $179,000 decrease in accounts payable.
We used a total of $6.4 million in investing activities during the first six months of 2014 to purchase $4.4 million in short-term investments and $2.0 million to acquire property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $437,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which resulted from the use of $639,000 for the repurchase of common stock related to the vesting of restricted shares, partially offset by $202,000 in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.
Our current cash balance is expected to be sufficient to fund our current operating and capital needs through at least the next twelve months. Our cash requirements, however, may vary materially from those now planned due to many factors, including, but not limited to, the scope and timing of future strategic acquisitions, the progress of our research and development programs, the scope and results of clinical testing, the cost of any future litigation, the magnitude of capital expenditures, changes in existing and potential relationships with business partners, the timing and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals, the costs involved in obtaining and enforcing patents, proprietary rights and any necessary licenses, the cost and timing of expansion of sales and marketing activities, market acceptance of new products, competing technological and market developments, the impact of the current economic environment and other factors.

Summary of Contractual Obligations
A summary of our obligations to make future payments under contracts existing at December 31, 2013 is included in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, there were no significant changes to this information, including the absence of any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our judgments and estimates, including those related to the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories and intangible assets, as well as calculations related to contingencies and accruals. We base our judgments and estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
A more detailed review of our critical accounting policies is contained in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. During the first six months of 2014, there were no material changes in our critical accounting policies.
Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We do not hold any amounts of derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and, accordingly, we have no material derivative risk to report under this Item.
As of June 30, 2014, we did not have any foreign currency exchange contracts or purchase currency options to hedge local currency cash flows. We have operations in Canada and Europe, which are subject to foreign currency fluctuations. As currency rates change, translation of revenues and expenses for these operations from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars affects year-to-year comparability of operating results. Sales denominated in a foreign currency comprised 7% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (including revenues from DNAG). We expect our international business will continue to grow and our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may increase.
Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2014. Based on that evaluation, the Companys management, including such officers, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective as of June 30, 2014 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
There have been no material changes to the factors disclosed in Item 1A., entitled Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 2. | UNREGISTERED SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, pursuant to the OraSure Technologies, Inc. Stock Award Plan, and in connection with the vesting of restricted shares, we retired 17,418 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations at an average price paid per share of $6.76.

7.2 Indemnification by AbbVie. AbbVie shall defend, indemnify and hold OraSure, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (OraSure Indemnitees) harmless from and against any Losses that arise from any Third Party Claim against an OraSure Indemnitee resulting from:

7.3 Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement (the Indemnified Party). The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an Indemnification Claim Notice) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under this Section 7.3, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses or any Third Party Claim.
38
7.4 Control of Defense.
(a) In General. The indemnifying Party (or its insurer) may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying Partys receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice, provided that, (i) such Third Party Claim solely seeks monetary damages and (ii) the indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge such Third Party Claim in full (the matters described in (i) and (ii), the Litigation Conditions); provided further that the Indemnified Party may, at any time, assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if at any time the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied with respect to such Third Party Claim. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Partys claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 7.4(b), the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying Party. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.
(b) Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 7.4(a), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Partys own expense unless: (i) the employment thereof, and the assumption by the indemnifying Party of such expense, has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing; (ii) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 7.4(a) or the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense); or (iii) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.
(c) Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim that shall not result in the Indemnified Partys becoming subject to injunctive or other relief, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter
39
into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.4(a), the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided, that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or dispose of, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d) Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
(e) Expenses. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim shall be reimbursed on a quarterly basis in arrears by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the indemnifying Partys right to contest the Indemnified Partys right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.
7.5 Special, Indirect, and Other Losses. EXCEPT (A) FOR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (B) FOR A PARTYS BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 6 OR SECTION 2.2(b), AND (C) TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY PROVIDES INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 7, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

(b) Termination due to Insufficient Patient Care Database.

positive using the Product during each applicable Calendar Year (the Annual Minimum Patient Care Database Threshold) of the Term, provided however, that if the failure to meet the Annual Minimum Patient Care Database Threshold for any Calendar Year results, in whole or in part, from AbbVies failure to meet its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligations to fully design, develop, implement and make available to Patients the Care Model in the Field in the Territory or AbbVies failure to comply with its Co-Promotion or Detailing obligations hereunder, then AbbVie shall have no right of termination in respect of the applicable Calendar Year pursuant to this Section 8.1(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if OraSure is using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to satisfy the Annual Minimum Patient Care Database Threshold and fails to meet such threshold and the proviso in the preceding sentence does not apply, then the Parties shall work in good faith during such sixty (60) day period to develop a mutually acceptable plan for OraSure to implement in connection with meeting the Annual Minimum Patient Care Database Threshold. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable plan in writing upon the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, then this Agreement shall terminate effective upon AbbVies delivery of written notice to OraSure. This Section 8.1(b) sets forth AbbVies sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a failure to meet the Annual Minimum Patient Care Database Threshold for any Calendar Year.
8.2 Termination for Breach. If either Party (the Non-Breaching Party) believes that the other Party (the Breaching Party) has breached one (1) or more of its material obligations under this Agreement, then the Non-Breaching Party may deliver notice of such material breach to the Breaching Party (a Default Notice), which Default Notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail and shall state the non-breaching Partys intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2. The following shall be considered a non-exclusive list of material obligations by the respective Party under this Agreement (the failure of which shall be deemed a material breach by such Party): (i) solely with respect to OraSure, OraSures material failure to exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to design, develop, implement and administer the Patient Care Database throughout the Term in the Field in the Territory in accordance with Section 3.1(a); (ii) solely with respect to AbbVie, AbbVies material failure to develop, deploy, make available to Patients and maintain the Care Model during the Term in the Field in the Territory in accordance with Section 2.3(a) or AbbVies material failure to Detail the Product in accordance with Sections 2.3(a) and 4.1(b); and (iii) with respect to each Party (A) such Partys material failure to exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement, within one (1) year after the Effective Date, a retail pharmacy initiative to co-promote the Product in accordance with terms that are mutually acceptable to the Parties and consistent with the Co-Promotion Plan and the Guiding Principles, provided, however, that such one (1) year period shall not apply to either Party to the extent such one (1) year period is exceeded due to a factor outside of such Partys reasonable control, including any delay directly or indirectly caused by a Third Party retail pharmacy or the other Party or the other Partys Affiliates or Third Party Providers; (B) such Partys material failure to reasonably respond to and negotiate in good faith with the other Party in connection with executing and implementing a new Statement of Work proposed by the other Party as long as such proposed Statement of Work is contemplated by, and structured in a manner materially consistent with, this Agreement, the Co-Promotion Plan and the Guiding Principles; and (C) such Partys failure to comply with its material obligations
42
contained in each Statement of Work, including, without limitation, the HTAA Statement of Work, or such Partys material failure to negotiate in good faith agreements with any Third Parties that are reasonably necessary for and material to such Partys ability to carry out its responsibilities pursuant to each Statement of Work. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall be interpreted as limiting either Partys rights or claims with respect to asserting the other Partys breach of any other material obligation that it has pursuant to this Agreement.
(a) If the Breaching Party does not dispute that it has committed a breach of one (1) or more of its material obligations under this Agreement, then if the Breaching Party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Default Notice, or if such compliance cannot be fully achieved within such thirty (30) day period and the Breaching Party has failed to commence compliance or has failed to use diligent efforts to achieve full compliance as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible (but in any event within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Default Notice), the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party.
(b) If the Breaching Party disputes that it has committed a breach of one (1) or more of its material obligations under this Agreement, the Breaching Party may submit the dispute to dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.4(c).
(c) During the pendency of any dispute under this Agreement initiated before the end of any applicable cure period under this Section 8.2, (i) this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, (ii) the provisions of this Agreement relating to termination for material breach will not be effective, (iii) the time periods for cure under Section 8.2 as to any termination notice given prior to the initiation of the arbitration proceeding will be tolled, and (iv) neither Party will issue a notice of termination pursuant to this Agreement based on the subject matter of the ADR (and no effect will be given to previously issued termination notices), until the ADR has confirmed the existence of the facts claimed by a Party to be the basis for the asserted material breach.
8.3 Termination for Insolvency. In the event that either Party: (a) files for protection under bankruptcy or insolvency laws; (b) makes a general assignment of a substantial portion of its assets for the benefit of creditors; (c) appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over substantially all of its property that is not discharged within ninety (90) days after such filing; (d) proposes or is a party to any dissolution or liquidation related to its business; or (e) files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against that is not discharged within ninety (90) days of the filing thereof; then the other Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety effective immediately upon written notice to such Party.
8.4 Termination Upon Change of Control. AbbVie will have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement by written notice to OraSure in the event of a Change of Control of OraSure involving an AbbVie Competitor. OraSure shall provide notice to AbbVie not less than sixty (60) days prior to its proposed Change of Control; provided, however, that if OraSure is advised by its legal counsel that it is precluded from providing AbbVie with this prior notice under Applicable Law or contractual restriction, then OraSure shall deliver such notice immediately following the earlier of: (i) such time as OraSure is able to notify AbbVie in compliance with Applicable Law or contractual restriction, and (ii) after consummation of the
43
Change of Control. The above notice shall contain the following information regarding the Person that will assume control of OraSure: (a) the name and legal composition of the Person; and (b) a general description of the Change of Control.
8.5 Termination for Convenience. Either Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement for convenience (i.e., without cause) with termination effective any time on or after December 31, 2016 by giving the other Party not less than six (6) months prior written notice. For the purposes of clarity, it is the understanding of the Parties that during the notice period described above, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall continue in full force and effect until the applicable date of termination of the Agreement.
8.6 Termination for Change of Laws. In the event that any law or regulation enacted, promulgated or amended after the date of this Agreement or any interpretation of law or regulation by a court or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction after the date of this Agreement (collectively, Change of Laws) materially and adversely affects the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, or materially and adversely impacts upon the ability of either Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement (excluding payment and other financial considerations), then either Party may request renegotiation of the applicable terms of this Agreement to address the Change of Law by written notice to the other Party. If, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of either Party, the Parties are unable to in good faith negotiate an amendment to this Agreement that addresses issue caused by the Change of Law as described in the immediately preceding sentence and which reasonably and materially preserves the original reasonable expectations of the Parties to the extent possible in a manner consistent with the Change of Law, then either Party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other Party; provided however, that if the other Party objects to such termination then the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.4(c) herein.
8.7 Effects of Expiration or Termination.
(a) Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration. Such termination or expiration shall not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly indicated to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Sections 2.2(a)(iii), 2.7(b)(iv), 2.12, 2.14, 3.3, 4.2(a) (to the extent related to an Exclusivity Refund or Exclusivity Shortfall), 4.4, 4.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 8.7 and Articles 5, 6 and 9 of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason. Except for payments that have accrued prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement or otherwise as expressly set forth in Section 8.7(b) relating to a termination for convenience by either Party or a termination by OraSure for breach, in the event of the termination of this Agreement, AbbVie shall not be obligated to pay OraSure for any amount of compensation set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement that relates to a time period after the effective date of termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Database Establishment, Ownership and Exclusivity Fee that would otherwise have accrued after the effective date of termination of this Agreement.
44
(b) Termination For Convenience or Termination by OraSure for Breach. In the event either Party terminates this Agreement for convenience pursuant to Section 8.5, the terminating Party shall pay an early termination penalty in the amount of [***] (the Termination Fee) to the other Party, provided however, that in the event that (i) AbbVie has paid Forty Million and 00/100 Dollars comprised of the initial three installments of the Database Establishment, Ownership and Exclusivity Fee due through the second anniversary of the Effective Date pursuant to Section 4.2(a); and (ii) AbbVie has delivered its written notice to OraSure exercising its right to terminate for convenience pursuant to Section 8.5 at least six (6) months prior to December 31, 2016 with a termination effective date of December 31, 2016, then no Termination Fee shall be due from AbbVie. Moreover, as to the Maintenance Services Payments, in the event AbbVie terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.5, or OraSure terminates this Agreement for breach pursuant to Section 8.2 , AbbVie shall pay to OraSure the pro-rated Maintenance Services Payment set forth in Section 4.2(b) for the Calendar Year of termination based upon the annualized threshold that would have been achieved had the Calendar Year been completed. Such annualized threshold will be calculated utilizing the number of new Patients testing positive for HCV using the Product that have opted-in to the Patient Care Database during such Calendar Year through the effective date of termination and who are entered into the Patient Care Database consistent with the terms of this Agreement or whose Patient Information has been collected or authorized to be collected, but not previously entered into the Patient Care Database. For example, if this Agreement is terminated effective on September 30, 2017 and the actual number of Patients meeting the criteria set forth in the previous sentence achieved during the first nine (9) months of 2017 is [***], then those [***] new Patients would be annualized to [***], which is on pace for Tier 6 of the Maintenance Services Payment chart and a Service Payment of [***] would be due to OraSure [***] x 75%) because Tier 6 requires the payment of a [***] Maintenance Services Payment and the effective date of termination occurred seventy five percent (75%) through the 2017 Calendar Year.
(c) Termination of Rights. Upon the termination or expiration this Agreement for any reason, AbbVie shall immediately cease all of its promotional and marketing activities for the Product and both Parties shall discontinue any use of the other Partys Trademarks and return to the other Party or destroy all sales materials, training materials and AbbVie-developed Product Promotional Materials for the Product. After any expiration or termination OraSure shall retain the right to use any sales training and Product Promotional Materials developed during the term of this Agreement, provided, however, that OraSure shall have no further right to use AbbVies name or any AbbVie Trademarks or logos in connection therewith.
(d) Transition. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, but subject to AbbVies fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement:
(i) OraSure shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, agents and Third Party Providers to, use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to engage in an orderly transition of the data and information contained in the Patient Care Database to AbbVie or its designee(s). Such transitional services shall include, without limitation, continued input into the Patient Care Database, for a period of thirty (30) days after such expiration or termination, of any Patient Information collected or authorized to be collected, but not previously entered into the Patient Care Database.
[***] Portions of this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
45
(ii) OraSure shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, agents and Third Party Providers to, transfer and assign to AbbVie, all of their rights (including Intellectual Property Rights) in and to the data and information regarding Patients contained in the Patient Care Database.
(iii) To the extent that OraSure owns and has the right to transfer such items to AbbVie, OraSure shall transfer and assign to AbbVie any records, forms, files, materials, passwords, accounts, databases, software, source code, object code, algorithms, analytic tools, documentation, procedures, manuals, policies and other items, in each case solely relating to the Patient Care Database, including any Intellectual Property Rights solely relating to the Patient Care Database.
ARTICLE 9
MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances (whether involving the workforce of the non-performing Party or of any other Person), acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority (except to the extent such delay results from the breach by the non-performing Party or any of its Affiliates of any term or condition of this Agreement). The non-performing Party shall immediately notify the other Party of such force majeure within five (5) Business Days after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform.
9.2 Assignment. Without the prior written consent of the other Party, neither Party shall sell, transfer, assign, delegate (except as permitted by Section 3.2), or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder to any Third Party; provided, however, that, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, either Party may make such an assignment without the other Partys consent to its Affiliate (for so long as it remains an Affiliate of such Party) or to a successor, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or any other transaction, of the business to which this Agreement relates. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 9.2 shall be void and of no effect. All validly assigned and delegated rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns of OraSure or AbbVie, as the case may be. The permitted assignee or transferee shall assume all obligations of its assignor or transferor under this Agreement, provided, however, that a Party assigning or transferring this Agreement or its rights or duties hereunder to an Affiliate shall remain fully liable for the performance of this Agreement by such Affiliate.
46
9.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of law that would render any provision hereof illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect.
9.4 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Service.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement or the performance, enforcement, breach or termination hereof shall be interpreted, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
(b) Service. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to its address set forth in Section 9.5 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit, or proceeding brought against it under this Agreement in any such court.

The Parties shall discuss in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days any Dispute to obtain resolution of the issue. Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Parties shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.

Any ADR proceeding under this Agreement shall take place pursuant to the procedures set forth in Schedule 9.4. Notwithstanding the procedures set forth in Schedule 9.4, in the event of an actual or threatened breach hereunder, the aggrieved Party may seek equitable relief (including restraining orders, specific performance or other injunctive relief) in any court or other forum, without first submitting to any dispute resolution procedures hereunder.

Within fourteen (14) days after its receipt of such notice, the other Party may, by written notice to the Party initiating the arbitration, add additional issues to be resolved within the same ADR.
2. Within twenty-one (21) days following the initiation of the ADR proceeding, the Parties shall select a mutually acceptable independent, impartial and conflicts-free neutral to preside in the resolution of all issues in this ADR proceeding. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable neutral within such period, each Party will select one (1) independent, impartial and conflicts-free neutral and those two (2) neutrals will select a third independent, impartial and conflicts-free neutral within ten (10) days thereafter (such neutral(s), the Neutral). None of the neutrals selected may be current or former employees, officers or directors of either Party or its Affiliates.
3. No earlier than twenty-eight (28) days or later than fifty-six (56) days after selection, the Neutral shall hold a hearing to resolve each of the issues identified by the Parties. The ADR proceeding shall take place at a location agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree, the Neutral shall designate a location other than the principal place of business of either Party or any of their Affiliates.
4. At least seven (7) days prior to the hearing, each Party shall submit the following to the other Party and the Neutral:
(a) a copy of all exhibits on which such Party intends to rely in any oral or written presentation to the Neutral;
(b) a list of any witnesses such Party intends to call at the hearing, and a short summary of the anticipated testimony of each witness;
(c) a proposed ruling on each issue to be resolved, together with a request for a specific damage award or other remedy for each issue. The proposed ruling shall not contain any recitation of the facts or any legal arguments, and the proposed remedy shall not include any punitive damages. The proposed ruling and the proposed remedy collectively shall not exceed one (1) page per issue.
(d) a brief in support of such Partys proposed rulings and remedies; provided, that the brief shall not exceed twenty (20) pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.
5. Except as expressly set forth in subparagraphs 4(a) - 4(d), no discovery shall be required or permitted by any means, including depositions, interrogatories, requests for admissions, or production of documents.
The hearing shall be conducted on two (2) consecutive days and shall be governed by the following rules:
(a) Each Party shall be entitled to five (5) hours of hearing time to present its case. The Neutral shall determine whether each Party has had the five (5) hours to which it is entitled.
(b) Each Party shall be entitled, but not required, to make an opening statement, to present regular and rebuttal testimony, documents, or other evidence, to cross-examine witnesses, and to make a closing argument. Cross-examination of witnesses shall occur immediately after their direct testimony, and cross-examination time shall be charged against the Party conducting the cross-examination.
(c) The Party initiating the ADR shall begin the hearing and, if it chooses to make an opening statement, shall address therein not only issues it raised but also any issues raised by the responding Party. The responding Party, if it chooses to make an opening statement, also shall address all issues raised in the ADR. Thereafter, the presentation of regular and rebuttal testimony and documents, other evidence, and closing arguments shall proceed in the same sequence.
(d) Except when testifying, witnesses shall be excluded from the hearing until closing arguments.
(e) Settlement negotiations, including any statements made therein, shall not be admissible under any circumstances. Affidavits prepared for purposes of the ADR hearing also shall not be admissible.

Within seven (7) days following completion of the hearing, each Party may submit to the other Party and the Neutral a post-hearing brief in support of its proposed rulings and remedies; provided, that such brief shall not contain or discuss any new evidence and shall not exceed ten (10) pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.
7. The Neutral shall rule on each disputed issue within fourteen (14) days following completion of the hearing. Such ruling shall adopt in its entirety the proposed ruling and remedy of one (1) of the Parties on each disputed issue but may adopt one (1) Partys proposed rulings and remedies on some issues and the other Partys proposed rulings and remedies on other issues. The Neutral shall not issue any written opinion or otherwise explain the basis of the ruling.
8. The Neutral shall be paid a reasonable fee plus expenses. These fees and expenses, along with the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing Party (including all expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of a court reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, shall be paid as follows:
(a) If the Neutral rules in favor of one (1) Party on all disputed issues in the ADR, the losing Party shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of such fees and expenses.
(b) If the Neutral rules in favor of one (1) Party on some issues and the other Party on other issues, the Neutral shall issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated between the Parties. The Neutral shall allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the ADR, with the Party prevailing on more issues, or on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its legal fees and expenses.
9. The rulings of the Neutral and the allocation of fees and expenses shall be binding, non-reviewable, and non-appealable, and may be entered as a final judgment in any court having jurisdiction.

Any Shares granted on or after May 22, 2014 in connection with Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit on the basis of one Share for each Share subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right. Any Shares granted on or after May 22, 2014 in connection with Restricted Awards, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards shall be counted against this limit on the basis of one and a half Shares for every one Share granted in connection with such Awards.
(b) The maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to paragraph (a) above on or after May 22, 2014 pursuant to Incentive Stock Options, is 4,898,401 Shares, subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization affecting the Corporations Common Stock pursuant to Section 14.2 of the Plan.
