1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year balances to conform with the presentation of the financial statements for the six months ended October 2, 2010. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, we received new information related to our Global Med acquisition which we have considered and estimated the effect on the carrying amount of certain assets an d liabilities acquired. These adjustments are reflected accordingly in our financial information for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2010 and are discussed further in Note 9. Operating results for the six month period ended October 2, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending April 2, 2011, or any other interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2010.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated, and these financial statements reflect those material items that arose after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements that would be considered recognized subsequent events. There were no material recognized subsequent events recorded in the October 2, 2010 c onsolidated financial statements.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of March. Fiscal year 2011 includes 52 weeks with all four quarters each having 13 weeks. Fiscal year 2010 included 53 weeks with each of the first three quarters having 13 weeks and the fourth quarter having 14 weeks.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy is to recognize revenues from product sales, software and services in accordance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and ASC Topic 985-605, Software. These standards require that revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery, including customer acceptance, has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. When more than one element such as equipment, disposables and services are contained in a single arrangement, we allocate revenue between the elements based on each element's relative fair value, provided that each element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. An item is considered a separate unit of accounting if it has value to the customer on a stand alone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the unde livered items. The fair value of the undelivered elements is determined by the price charged when the element is sold separately, or in cases when the item is not sold separately, by using vendor specific objective evidenced under ASC Topic 985-605 or other objective evidence as defined in ASC Topic 605.

Product Revenues

Product sales consist of the sale of our equipment devices and the related disposables used with these devices. On product sales to end customers, revenue is recognized when both the title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer as determined by the shipping terms and all obligations have been completed. Examples of common post delivery obligations are installation and training. For product sales to distributors, we recognize revenue for both equipment and disposables upon shipment of these products to our distributors. Our standard contracts with our distributors state that title to the equipment passes to the distributors at point of shipment to a distributor's location. The distributors are responsible for shipment to the end customer along with installation, training and acceptance of the equipment by the end customer. All shipments to distributo rs are at contract prices and payment is not contingent upon resale of the product.

Software Solutions Revenues

Our software solutions include software products and support for our plasma, blood bank, and hospital customers. For our blood bank customers, these products span blood center operations and automate and track operations from the recruitment of the blood donor to the disposition of the blood product. For plasma customers, we also provide information technology platforms for managing distribution of plasma from collection centers to plasma fracti onation facilities. We offer products to our hospital customers that manage blood product inventory and support patient cross matching and transfusion management. We also offer an analytical tool that monitors and measures a hospital's blood management practices. Software solution product offerings are sold both as a subscription, where license revenues are generally billed periodically, monthly, or quarterly, and recognized ratably over the term of the subscription, and as a perpetual license, which are billed up front. We recognize revenue from the sale of perpetual licenses when delivered, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met and we have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered elements sold with the license. Additionally, for cert ain software solutions products, we provide customized implementation services to our customer. For these arrangements, we recognize revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis. We also provide other services, including in some instances hosting, technical support, and maintenance, for the payment of periodic, monthly, or quarterly fees. We recognize these fees and charges as earned, typically as these services are provided during the contract period.

2.       RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, an amendment to FASB AS C topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and Update No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, an amendment to FASB ASC subtopic 985-605, Software – Revenue Recognition (the “Updates”). The Updates provide guidance on arrangements that include software elements, including tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product and will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue reco gnition guidance, and software-enabled products that will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. The Updates provide authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of fair value for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The Updates also include new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The Updates must be adopted in the same period using the same transition method and are effective prospectively, with retrospective adoption permitted, for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is also permitted; however, early adoption during an interim period requires retrospective application from the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company will adopt the guidance on April 3, 2011, the first day of fiscal year 2012, and is currently assessing the possible impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities< /font>, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidations. ASU No. 2009-17 requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. The update became effective for our fiscal year 2011 and there was no impact to our consolidated financial statements for the first six months ended October 2, 2010.
