ALR Alere Inc. (delisted)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation of Financial Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Alere Inc. are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments considered normal and recurring and necessary for their fair statement. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included information and footnotes necessary for such presentation and were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on June 5, 2017. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our operating segments are currently (i) professional diagnostics; (ii) consumer diagnostics; and (iii) other non-reportable. In January 2015, we sold our condition management, case management, wellbeing, wellness, and women’s and children’s health businesses, which we refer to collectively as our health management business. As a result of the sale of our health management business, which was the largest component of our former patient self-testing reporting segment, as well as certain other transactions in 2015, the only component of the patient self-testing reporting segment that was retained by Alere was the Alere Home Monitoring business. Therefore, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we reported our financial information in two reportable operating segments: (i) professional diagnostics and (ii) consumer diagnostics, and Alere Home Monitoring was reported as a component of the professional diagnostics segment. Due to the nature of the operations of Alere Home Monitoring and the manner in which this business is conducted, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are reporting our Alere Home Monitoring business as a separate segment under the heading “other non-reportable segment.” Alere Home Monitoring distributes PT/INR coagulation monitors and facilitates the distribution of equipment and supplies to power and control customers’ implanted ventricular assist devices, or VADs, as well as telemonitoring services that allows VAD coordinators to monitor patients soon after discharge and receive alerts when critical patient values fall outside pre-established ranges. The information presented herein for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the foregoing changes in the segment presentation.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alere Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. Equity investments in which we exercise significant influence but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method.

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

(2) Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On April 12, 2017, management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors concluded that our financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and for each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2015 and the first three quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2016 should not be relied on.

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, we restated the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and also restated certain unaudited condensed financial information for each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2015 and the first three quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2016, which we refer to herein as the Restatement. As a result, the financial statements and information as presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 have been restated.

The Restatement was the result of the failure to correctly apply U.S. GAAP regarding the timing of revenue recognition primarily related to transactions in which we recognized revenue prior to full satisfaction of all contractual criteria for title and risk of loss passing to the customer as required by U.S. GAAP. The principal cause of these misstatements in the timing of revenue recognition was inappropriate conduct at our Standard Diagnostics subsidiary, or SD. These misstatements were primarily the result of conduct and practices initiated by a former employee in the sales organization. The inappropriate conduct and practices involved, among other things, misrepresentation and/or fabrication of documents used to validate revenue recognition that were intentionally concealed from our senior

leadership team and our external auditors at the time of the transactions and during the global revenue recognition assessment conducted as part of the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Further, other SD employees (in some cases subordinates of the initiating employee and local finance management responsible for other controls at SD) were involved in the inappropriate conduct or acted to conceal it. In addition, the Restatement reflects corrections for certain other misstatements that we identified in 2017 relating to 2014, 2015 and 2016. These adjustments as they relate to the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate to (a) misstatements in the classification of certain amounts between current assets, noncurrent assets and current liabilities, (b) misstatements in the classification of certain legal-related charges between non-operating expenses and operating expenses, and (c) misstatements to general and administrative expenses to correct the timing of bad debt expenses. The Restatement did not result in a change to our previously reported total amounts for net cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, or financing activities. There was no impact to net change in cash and cash equivalents for any previously reported periods.

(3) Merger Agreement

Merger Agreement with Abbott Laboratories

On January 30, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Abbott Laboratories, or Abbott. The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Abbott with and into Alere, or the merger, with Alere surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Abbott, or the surviving corporation. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, prior to its amendment (as described herein), holders of shares of our common stock were entitled to receive $56.00 in cash, without interest, in exchange for each share of common stock. On April 13, 2017, Abbott and Alere entered into an Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement Amendment, which amends the Merger Agreement (as amended by the Merger Agreement Amendment, the Amended Merger Agreement), which provides, among other things, that the holders of shares of our common stock will receive $51.00 in cash, without interest, in exchange for each share of common stock. Other than as expressly modified pursuant to the Merger Agreement Amendment, the Merger Agreement remains in full force and effect. The Amended Merger Agreement has been approved by our Board of Directors, and, on July 7, 2017, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock approved the adoption of the Amended Merger Agreement.

Completion of the merger pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement is subject to remaining customary closing conditions, including (1) there being no judgment or law enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the merger, (2) the expiration of the waiting period applicable to the merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or the HSR Act, and receipt of other required antitrust approvals and (3) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Amended Merger Agreement). Under the terms of the Amended Merger Agreement, Abbott has agreed to make certain divestitures if necessary to obtain the consent of the antitrust authorities to the transaction contemplated by the Amended Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Amended Merger Agreement. The obligation of each of the parties to consummate the merger is also conditioned on the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions) and the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Amended Merger Agreement. The Amended Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights that allow the Amended Merger Agreement to be terminated in certain circumstances.

In addition, the Merger Agreement Amendment extends the date after which each of Alere and Abbott would have a right to terminate the Amended Merger Agreement to September 30, 2017, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement Amendment reduces the termination fee that Alere may be required to pay Abbott under specified circumstances to $161 million, from $177 million. The Merger Agreement Amendment also provides that neither any matter set forth in our public filings made with the SEC between January 1, 2014 and April 13, 2017, nor any matter of which Abbott or any of Abbott’s representatives was made aware prior to April 13, 2017, could be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur. Further, in addition to the qualifications set forth in the original Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement Amendment qualifies all of our representations and warranties made in the Amended Merger Agreement (including those made in the original Merger Agreement) by all matters set forth in our public filings made with the SEC between January 1, 2014 and April 13, 2017 and any matter known by Abbott or any of Abbott’s representatives prior to April 13, 2017.

In addition, the Merger Agreement Amendment changes Abbott’s commitment to provide Alere’s employees that continue with Abbott with specified levels of compensation and benefits to be a commitment through the first anniversary of the closing of the merger, rather than through December 31, 2017 and a 2018 long-term incentive award to each continuing employee employed by Abbott or its subsidiaries at the time annual long-term awards are made generally that is no less favorable than the long-term incentive award made to similarly situated employees of Abbott generally.

Antitrust Clearance

On May 2, 2016, Abbott and Alere received a request for additional information, or a “second request,” from the United States Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, relating to Abbott’s potential acquisition of Alere. The second request was issued under the HSR Act. In addition, Abbott has agreed voluntarily to provide the FTC at least 60 days advance notice before certifying substantial compliance with the second request and to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act to not less than 60 days after Abbott and Alere have certified substantial compliance with the second request, unless the period is further extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC.

On June 23, 2016, Abbott and Alere received a request for additional information, or a “supplemental information request,” from the Canadian Competition Bureau, or the Bureau, relating to Abbott’s potential acquisition of Alere. The supplemental information request was issued under the Competition Act of Canada, or the Competition Act. The effect of the supplemental information request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the Competition Act until 30 days after Abbott and Alere have each complied with the supplemental information request, unless the period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the Bureau. On June 8, 2017, the Bureau notified the parties that it will be requiring a Canadian consent agreement requiring the divestiture of the epoc and Triage product lines. The purchasers and terms of sale need to be approved by the Bureau.

On January 25, 2017, the European Commission approved the merger under the EU Merger Regulation. The approval is conditional on, and the merger may not be completed until, Abbott has entered into binding agreements to divest the epoc and Triage product lines, as well as our activities relating to the commercialization of BNP assays for use on Beckman-Coulter laboratory analyzers, to one or more purchasers. The purchasers and terms of sale need to be approved by the European Commission.

We have entered into agreements to sell each of the epoc product line, Triage product line and Alere’s activities relating to the commercialization of BNP assays for use on Beckman-Coulter analyzers. On July 15, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with, solely for purposes of Sections 6.13 and 12.15 thereof, Quidel Corporation, QTB Acquisition Corp. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quidel Corporation) and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, Abbott pursuant to which we agreed to sell to QTB Acquisition Corp. our cardiovascular and toxicology Triage MeterPro business for aggregate consideration consisting of $400.0 million in cash (subject to an inventory adjustment), payable at the closing of the acquisition, and the assumption of certain post-closing liabilities. On that date, we also entered into another Purchase Agreement with, solely for purposes of Section 11.15 thereof, Quidel Corporation, QTB Acquisition Corp. and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, Abbott pursuant to which we agreed to sell to QTB Acquisition Corp. our assets and liabilities relating to our contractual arrangement with Beckman Coulter, Inc. for the supply by us of antibodies and other inputs related to, and distribution of, the Triage BNP Test for the Beckman Coulter Access Family of Immunoassay Systems for aggregate consideration consisting of up to $40.0 million in cash (subject to an inventory adjustment), payable in five annual installments, the first of which will be paid approximately six months after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the agreement, and the assumption of certain post-closing liabilities. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by each purchase agreement with Quidel is subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by both the Amended Merger Agreement and the other purchase agreement with Quidel and other customary closing conditions. On July 21, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Siemens Diagnostics Holding II B.V. and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, Abbott, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Siemens Diagnostics Holding II B.V. our Epocal subsidiary, including the epoc Blood Analysis system. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement with Siemens Diagnostics Holding II B.V. is subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amended Merger Agreement and customary closing conditions. The purchasers and the terms of sale pursuant to each of the purchase agreements described in this paragraph have not yet been approved by the applicable regulatory authorities. The transactions contemplated by such agreements are expected to occur concurrent with, or as soon as practicable following, the closing of the merger with Abbott. For additional information on these agreements, see Note 21 Subsequent Events .

On April 20, 2017, the South Korean antitrust authority informed Abbott that it would be expanding its review period by 90 days, which period has been periodically extended in order to respond to certain requests for information from the South Korean antitrust authority.

As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, antitrust approvals from the FTC, the Bureau and the South Korean antitrust authorities, each of which is required pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement, have not been obtained. The European Commission has not approved the purchasers or the terms of sale of the three divestiture transactions described above. We cannot guarantee that the European Commission will approve each of the purchasers and terms of sale by September 30, 2017, the date on which the Amended Merger Agreement may be terminated, subject to the terms set forth therein.

In connection with the divestiture of any of these businesses, we may need to enter into amendments to existing agreements or enter into new agreements to facilitate such divestitures. The terms of such amendments or new agreements may relate to, among other things, existing agreements with customers to purchase our products or may relate to the amendment to the agreements under which we initially acquired these businesses, including amendments to unresolved earn-out payment provisions. Any such agreement or amendment may require that we negotiate new terms and conditions with customers or with the previous owners of the business, and such terms may not be as advantageous to us as the current contracts or we may require that we incur material charges in connection with such amendments or agreements.

(9) Business Combinations

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

Table of Contents

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

(a) Acquisition in 2016

EDTS

On February 11, 2016, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of European Drug Testing Services EDTS AB, or EDTS, located in Lidingo, Sweden, a provider of services related to on-site drug testing. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $6.5 million and was paid in cash. The operating results of EDTS are included in our professional diagnostics reporting unit and business segment.

Our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included revenue totaling approximately $1.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, related to this business. Our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 included revenue totaling approximately $1.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related to this business. Goodwill has been recognized in the acquisition and amounted to approximately $2.1 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

A summary of the fair values of the net assets acquired from EDTS is as follows (in thousands):
