Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

1.	The Company

We develop, manufacture, market and sell diagnostic products and specimen collection devices using our proprietary 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, tests that are processed in a laboratory, and a 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, transport and store samples of genetic material for molecular testing in the consumer genetic, clinical genetic, academic research, pharmacogenomic, personalized medicine, microbiome and animal genetic 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, commercial and industrial entities, retail pharmacies and mass merchandisers, and 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 subsidiary, 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, 2015. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 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 management’s 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 income (loss).

-7-

Our available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of guaranteed investment certificates with amortized cost and fair value of $7,689 and $7,225, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable 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).

Included in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was $66,892 and $65,509 invested in a government money market fund. This fund has investments in government securities and is a Level 1 instrument.

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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $1,625 and $1,324, 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 are measured as Level 1 instruments as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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:


	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Raw materials	$	6,244	$	7,895
Work in process		971		333
Finished goods		5,110		5,014

	$	12,325	$	13,242

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, retired, or discarded, 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $33,701 and $33,013, respectively.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of the following:


		March 31, 2016
	Amortization Period (Years)	Gross		Accumulated Amortization			Net
Customer list	10	$	9,633	$	(4,292	)	$	5,341

		December 31, 2015
	Amortization Period (Years)	Gross		Accumulated Amortization			Net
Customer list	10	$	9,051	$	(3,818	)	$	5,233
Patents and product rights	10		5,400		(3,358	)		2,042
Acquired technology	7		7,030		(4,172	)		2,858
Tradename	15		3,469		(1,011	)		2,458

		$	24,950	$	(12,359	)	$	12,591

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 values of the applicable reporting unit with its aggregate carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s 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 unit’s goodwill and intangible assets with the respective carrying values.

We performed our last annual impairment assessment as of July 31, 2015 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 value. 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 management’s 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 March 31, 2016, we believe no indicators of impairment exist.

The change in goodwill from $18,250 as of December 31, 2015 to $19,422 as of March 31, 2016 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 sales of our OraQuick^® In-Home HIV test to the retail trade, 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.

-9-

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. Some of these allowances are estimates established by management, based upon 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.

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 test in the United States. The product is used to test individuals at-risk for the hepatitis C virus (“HCV”). We are responsible for manufacturing and selling the product into all markets covered by this agreement.

Pursuant to the Co-Promotion Agreement, we have granted exclusive co-promotion rights for the OraQuick^® HCV test in certain markets to AbbVie and we have agreed to develop, implement, administer and maintain a patient care database for the exclusive use of AbbVie. This patient care database is being used to compile patient information regarding new individuals who have tested positive for HCV using our OraQuick^® HCV test. We have also jointly agreed with AbbVie to co-promote our OraQuick^® HCV test in certain market segments.

Under the terms of this agreement, which runs through December 31, 2019, we are eligible to receive up to $75,000 in aggregate payments. We are recognizing this revenue ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the agreement. During the first quarter of 2016, $3,362 in exclusivity revenue was recognized. In addition, if certain performance-based milestones are achieved, we may be eligible to receive additional milestone payments. These payments would be based upon the aggregate number of new patients enrolled in the patient care database, in a given calendar year, after exceeding a baseline threshold, and could range from $3,500 to $55,500 annually over the term of the agreement. The first performance-based milestone period ended on December 31, 2015 and we did not achieve the milestone for that period. The agreement also contains certain termination, indemnification and other provisions, typical of agreements of this type. Under certain circumstances, either party may terminate the agreement before its expiration and such a termination could occur as early as December 31, 2016. Amounts related to this agreement are recorded as other revenue in our statements of operations.

On June 12, 2015, we were awarded a grant for up to $10,400 in total funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) related to the development of our OraQuick^® Ebola Rapid Antigen test. The three-year, multi-phased grant includes an initial commitment of $1,800 and options for up to an additional $8,600 to fund certain clinical and regulatory activities. In September 2015, BARDA exercised an option to provide $7,200 in additional funding for the development of our OraQuick^® Ebola Rapid Antigen test. Amounts related to this grant are recorded as other revenue in our statement of operations as the activities are being performed and the related costs are incurred. During the first quarter of 2016, $482 was recognized in connection with this grant.

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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the reserve for sales returns and allowances was $329 and $310, respectively. If actual product returns differ materially from our reserve amount, or if a determination is made that this product’s 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.

Deferred Revenue. We record deferred revenue when funds are received prior to the recognition of the associated revenue. Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 includes customer prepayments of $1,647 and $784, respectively. Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 also includes $5,589 and $8,951, respectively, from AbbVie, which represents the excess of the payments received from AbbVie over the amounts earned and recognized ratably in our consolidated statement of operations.

-10-

Customer and Vendor Concentrations. One of our customers accounted for approximately 10% of our accounts receivable as of March 31, 2016. We had no significant concentrations in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015. Another customer accounted for approximately 12% of our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

We currently purchase certain products and critical components of our products from sole-supply vendors. 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 Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings 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 price during the reporting period.

The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:


	Three Months
	Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Net income	$	2,446	$	113

Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding:
Basic		55,451		56,343
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock		628		830

Diluted		56,079		57,173

Earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.04	$	0.00

Diluted	$	0.04	$	0.00

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, outstanding common stock options and unvested restricted stock representing 4,843 and 2,702 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

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 statement of operations in the period in which the change occurs. Net

-11-

foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions that are included in other income (expense) in our consolidated statement of operations were $(346) and $588 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

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 $2,867 and $(3,811) currency translation adjustments recorded in the first three months of 2016 and 2015, respectively, are largely the result of the translation of our Canadian operation’s 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, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the effects, if any, which adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires an entity that uses the first-in, first-out method for inventory measurement to report inventory cost at the lower of cost and net realizable value versus the current measurement principle of lower of cost or market. The ASU requires prospective adoption for inventory measurements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-11 may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires entities to begin recording assets and liabilities from leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 provides for simplification of several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company is required to adopt this new authoritative guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

4.	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 vesting of restricted stock and performance awards, we issue new shares rather than purchase shares on the open market.

Commencing in 2016, we have granted to certain executives performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). Vesting of these PSUs is dependent upon our achievement of a performance-based metric during a one-year or three-year period, from the date of grant. Assuming achievement of each performance-based metric, the executive must also remain in our service for three years, commencing with the grant date. Performance during the one-year period will be based on a one-year earnings per share target. Upon achievement of the one-year target, the PSUs will then vest three years from grant date. Performance during the three-year period will be based on achievement of a three-year compound annual growth rate for consolidated product revenues. Upon achievement of the three-year target, the corresponding PSUs will vest in full. PSUs are converted into shares of our common stock once vested. Upon grant of the PSUs, the Company recognizes compensation expense related to these awards based on assumptions as to what percentage of each target will be achieved. The Company evaluates these target assumptions on a quarterly basis and adjusts compensation expense related to these awards, as appropriate.

Total compensation cost related to stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $733 and $822, respectively. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0 and $121 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As a result of the Company’s net operating loss carryforward position, no actual income tax benefit was realized from stock option exercises during these periods.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the first three months ended March, 31, 2016:


	Options
Outstanding on January 1, 2016		6,216
Granted		297
Exercised		—
Expired		(292	)
Forfeited		(7	)

Outstanding on March 31, 2016		6,214

Compensation cost of $719 and $653 related to restricted shares was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In connection with the vesting of restricted shares and exercise of stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we purchased and immediately retired 98 and 112 shares with aggregate values of $527 and $772, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding and exercise obligations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we granted 417 PSUs. No compensation cost related to the PSUs was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Stock Repurchase Program

On August 5, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which we are permitted to acquire up to $25,000 of our outstanding common shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we purchased and retired 423 shares of common stock at an average price of $6.29 per share for a total cost of $2,660. No shares were purchased and retired during the three months ended March 31, 2015, under this share repurchase program.

5.	Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded foreign tax expense of $61 and $5, respectively. Foreign taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes $(18) of deferred tax benefits and $79 of current tax expense associated with amounts payable for provincial taxes. Foreign taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2015 includes $5 of deferred tax expense.

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 March 31, 2016 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. deferred tax asset. Management believes the full valuation allowance is still appropriate as of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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 months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

6.	Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, based upon the advice of counsel, the outcomes of such actions are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, 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 diagnostic products, specimen collection devices and medical devices; and our molecular collection systems or “DNAG” business, which primarily 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, commercial and industrial entities, retail pharmacies, mass merchandisers, and to consumers over the internet. OSUR also derives other revenues, including exclusivity payments for co-promotion

-14-

rights and other licensing and product development activities. DNAG revenues result primarily from products sold into the commercial market which consists of customers engaged in consumer genetics, clinical genetic testing, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, animal and livestock genetic testing, and microbiome 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 and inter-segment expenses have been eliminated.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements contained herein and the notes thereto, along with the Section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” set forth below.

Overview

Current Consolidated Financial Results

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, our consolidated net revenues were $29.1 million, compared to $27.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net product revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased 6% when compared to the first three months of 2015, primarily due to higher sales of our cryosurgical systems, OraQuick^® HCV and molecular collection systems products. Other revenues for the first three months of 2016 were $3.8 million, of which $3.3 million represents the ratable recognition of payments for exclusive co-promotion rights and certain services provided under our HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie, and $482,000 represents revenue recognized in connection with the Ebola-related funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”).

Our consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share on a fully-diluted basis, compared to consolidated net income of $113,000, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $4.7 million, compared to $6.6 million used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, we had $102.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments compared to $101.3 million at December 31, 2015.

Business Segments

We operate our business within two reportable segments: our “OSUR” business, which consists of the development, manufacture and sale of diagnostic products, specimen collection devices, and medical devices, 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, transport, 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, commercial and industrial entities, retail pharmacies, mass merchandisers and consumers over the internet. DNAG revenues result primarily from products sold into the commercial market, which consists of customers engaged in consumer genetics, clinical genetic testing, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, microbiome 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

The table below shows a breakdown of total net revenues (dollars in thousands) generated by each of our business segments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
								Percentage of Total
	Dollars							Net Revenues
					%
	2016		2015		Change			2016			2015
OSUR	$	18,355	$	17,048		8	%		63	%		63	%
DNAG		6,890		6,717		3			24			25

Net product revenues		25,245		23,765		6			87			88

Net revenues	$	29,089	$	27,088		7	%		100	%		100	%

Consolidated net product revenues increased 6% to $25.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $23.8 million in the comparable period of 2015. Higher sales of our cryosurgical systems, OraQuick^® HCV and molecular collection systems products in the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 were partially offset by lower sales of our professional OraQuick^® HIV products and the absence of sales of our OraQuick^® Ebola Rapid Antigen test. Other revenues in the first quarter of 2016 were $3.8 million and include $3.3 million in exclusivity payments received under our HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie and $482,000 recognized in connection with Ebola-related funding from BARDA. Other revenues in the first quarter of 2015 were $3.3 million and represent the recognition of exclusivity payments from AbbVie.

Consolidated net revenues derived from products sold to customers outside of the United States were $6.9 million and $6.7 million, or 24% and 25% of total net revenues, in the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, 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 decreased slightly to $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. Increased sales of our OraQuick^® HCV tests were partially offset by lower sales of our professional OraQuick^® HIV product. First quarter 2015 revenues included $364,000 in sales of our OraQuick^® Ebola Rapid Antigen test to the CDC for field testing in Africa. There were no similar sales of this product in the first quarter of 2016.

The table below shows a breakdown of our total net OraQuick^® HIV and HCV product revenues (dollars in thousands) during the first quarters of 2016 and 2015.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
Market	2016		2015		% Change
Domestic HIV	$	5,703	$	6,007		(5	)%
International HIV		854		948		(10	)
Domestic OTC HIV		1,523		1,561		(2	)

Net HIV revenues		8,080		8,516		(5	)

Domestic HCV		1,900		1,197		59
International HCV		1,001		972		3

Net HCV revenues		2,901		2,169		34

Net OraQuick^® HIV and HCV product revenues	$	10,981	$	10,685		3	%

Domestic OraQuick^® HIV sales decreased 5% to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily the result of the continued loss of sales to competing 4^th generation automated HIV immunoassays performed in a laboratory, as recommended under testing guidelines issued by the CDC, or to point-of-care HIV tests perceived to be more sensitive. We anticipate that future sales of our professional HIV product will continue to be negatively affected as a result of the CDC’s testing guidelines, changes in government funding, and continued product and price competition. International sales of our OraQuick^® HIV test during the first quarter of 2016 decreased 10% to $854,000 from $948,000. This decrease reflects lower sales into Africa as a result of customer ordering patterns, pricing pressures, and the variability of project-based business in that region, partially offset by the initial shipment of product in support of an HIV self-testing program in Africa and higher sales in Europe as a result of the addition of a new distributor in Russia.

-20-

Sales of our OraQuick^® In-Home HIV test decreased slightly to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2015 largely due to a decline in sales to certain public health customers, partially offset by the benefit of a price increase implemented in August 2015.

Domestic OraQuick^® HCV sales increased 59% to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to the expansion of existing HCV testing programs and the addition of new programs in the public health market. International OraQuick^® HCV sales increased 3% to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $972,000 in the first quarter of 2015, largely due to the expansion of our business in Asia partially offset by lower sales to a multi-national humanitarian organization as a result of the timing of the orders placed. Sales to this organization can be variable, are influenced by its worldwide field activities, and therefore are difficult to predict.

We believe our OraQuick^® HCV product represents an opportunity for future sales growth given the FDA approval of several new drug therapies for treating HCV. However, demand for our HCV product, particularly in the public health marketplace, may be somewhat 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. Sales to physicians can also be adversely affected by the level of reimbursement available from insurance providers and competition from laboratory-based HCV tests. The intensely competitive market for new HCV therapies and the decisions by insurance providers and payors to grant preferred or exclusive formulary status to one HCV therapy over another have adversely affected our initiatives under the HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie. These and other factors could limit the future growth of our HCV business.

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.

Risk Assessment Market

Commencing in 2016 we have combined the former substance abuse testing market and insurance risk assessment market categories under a single category referred to as the “risk assessment market.” We combined revenues for these markets because they are similar in nature and testing modalities. Revenues for 2015 have been combined in a similar manner for presentation purposes.

Sales to the risk assessment market increased 3% to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2015, primarily as a result of higher sales of our Intercept^® drug testing system, partially offset by a decline in sales of our OraSure^® oral fluid collection device into the domestic life insurance market. Domestic Intercept^® sales for the first quarter of 2016 increased to $1.8 million compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2015, largely due to improved domestic employment conditions and the recovery of customers previously lost to competition.

Cryosurgical Systems Market

Sales of our cryosurgical systems products (which includes both the physicians’ office and OTC markets) increased 53% to $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $2.5 million in the same period of the prior year.

-21-

The table below shows a breakdown of our total net cryosurgical systems revenues (dollars in thousands) generated in each market during the first quarters of 2016 and 2015.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
Market	2016		2015		% Change
Domestic professional	$	1,554	$	661		135	%
International professional		235		357		(34	)
Domestic OTC		378		55		587
International OTC		1,715		1,472		17

Net cryosurgical systems revenues	$	3,882	$	2,545		53	%

Sales of our Histofreezer^® product to physicians’ offices in the United States increased to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $661,000 in the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to distributor ordering patterns. International sales of Histofreezer^® decreased to $235,000 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $357,000 in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to increased competition from a private-label product sold by our former contract manufacturer.

Sales of our private-label wart removal product in the U.S. retail market increased to $378,000 in the first quarter of 2016 from $55,000 in the first quarter of 2015 due to the launch of private-label products in two additional large pharmacy chains.

Sales of our international OTC cryosurgical products during the first quarter of 2016 increased 17% to $1.7 million compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, largely due to distributor ordering patterns in Latin America.

Other revenues

Other revenues in the first quarter of 2016 were $3.8 million and include $3.3 million in exclusivity payments received under our HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie and $482,000 recognized in connection with Ebola-related funding from BARDA. Other revenues in the first quarter of 2015 were $3.3 million and represent the recognition of exclusivity payments from AbbVie.

DNAG Segment

Molecular Collection Systems

Net molecular collection systems revenues, which primarily represent sales of our Oragene^® product line in the genomics market, increased 3% to $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2015. Sales in the academic market grew 37% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015, largely due to ordering patterns of existing customers coupled with the first quarter shipment of product to support a study on the epidemiology of aging. Sales in the commercial market declined 20% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015, primarily as a result of two large purchases which occurred in the same period last year that did not repeat in the current quarter. Sales to new customers in the current period partially offset the absence of those purchases.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

Consolidated gross margin was 70% for the first quarter of 2016 compared to 63% for the first quarter of 2016. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2016 increased primarily due to a more favorable product mix, lower royalty and scrap and spoilage expenses, and the Ebola-related funding from BARDA.

Consolidated operating income for the first quarter of 2016 was $2.7 million, a $3.0 million improvement from the $291,000 operating loss reported in the first quarter of 2015. The current quarter operating income benefited from higher revenues, improved gross margins, and lower research and development costs, partially offset by higher sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.

OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) BY SEGMENT

OSUR Segment

OSUR’s gross margin was 69% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 61% in the first quarter of 2015. OSUR’s gross margin in the first quarter of 2016 was positively impacted by a more favorable product mix (primarily from increased domestic Histofreezer^® sales), lower royalty and scrap and spoilage costs, and the recognition of Ebola-related funding from BARDA.

Research and development expenses decreased 38% to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2015. During the first quarter of 2015, we conducted clinical studies related to the development of our fully-automated high-throughput drugs-of-abuse assays. In addition, we incurred certain program expenses related to the co-development agreement for these assays. These studies and costs did not recur in the first quarter of 2016. Sales and marketing expenses increased 6% to $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. This increase was primarily the result of higher detailing costs associated with our OraQuick^® HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie. General and administrative expenses increased 10% to $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 due to higher consulting and staffing expenses.

All of the above contributed to OSUR’s first quarter 2016 operating income of $1.6 million, which included non-cash charges of $639,000 for depreciation and amortization and $1.3 million for stock-based compensation.

DNAG Segment

DNAG’s gross margin was 73% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 69% in the first quarter of 2015. This improvement was attributable to an increase in higher margin sales experienced in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015.

Research and development expenses remained relatively flat at $627,000 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $626,000 in the first quarter of 2015. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 due to higher commission and staffing costs, partially offset by a favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of approximately $143,000. General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2015.

All of the above contributed to DNAG’s first quarter 2016 operating income of $1.1 million, which included non-cash charges of $715,000 for depreciation and amortization and $131,000 for stock-based compensation.

CONSOLIDATED INCOME TAXES

We continue to believe the full valuation allowance established in 2008 against OSUR’s total U.S. 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 OSUR’s pre-tax income or loss in the first quarter of 2016 or 2015, respectively. Canadian income tax expense of $61,000 and $5,000 was recorded in the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
	(In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	94,558	$	94,094
Short-term investments		7,689		7,225
Working capital		113,991		111,480

Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances increased to $102.2 million at March 31, 2016 from $101.3 million at December 31, 2015. Our working capital increased to $114.0 million at March 31, 2016 from $111.5 million at December 31, 2015.

During the first three months of 2016, we generated $4.7 million in cash from our operating activities. Our net income of $2.4 million benefitted from non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $1.3 million, and unrealized foreign currency losses of $141,000. Additional sources of cash include a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.5 million resulting from the collection of outstanding balances due at the end of 2015, a decrease in inventory balances of $990,000 largely associated with our OraQuick^® HCV and HIV products, and an increase in accounts payable of $758,000 associated with the AbbVie agreement. Uses of cash in operating activities during the period included a $2.5 million decrease in deferred revenues primarily resulting from the ratable recognition of AbbVie exclusivity payments in revenue during the quarter and a $2.4 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities associated with payment of our 2015 management incentive bonuses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which reflects $7.7 million used to purchase short-term investments and $1.6 million to acquire property and equipment, partially offset by $7.7 million in proceeds from the maturities of short-term investments.

Net cash used in financing activities was $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which resulted from the use of $2.7 million to repurchase shares under our previously authorized stock repurchase plan and $527,000 used for the repurchase of common stock to satisfy withholding taxes related to the vesting of restricted shares.

Our current cash and cash equivalents balance is expected to be sufficient to fund our current operating and capital needs for the foreseeable future. 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 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, 2015 is included in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, there were no significant changes to this information, including the absence of any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This Management’s 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

-24-

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC. During the first three months of 2016, 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 March 31, 2016, we did not have any foreign currency exchange contracts or purchase currency options to hedge local currency cash flows. Sales denominated in foreign currencies comprised 6.4% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016. We do have foreign currency exchange risk related to our operating subsidiary in Canada. While the majority of this subsidiary’s revenues are recorded in U.S. dollars, almost all of this subsidiary’s operating expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar could affect year-to-year comparability of operating results and cash flows. Our Canadian subsidiary had net assets, subject to translation, of $59.5 million CDN ($45.2 million USD), which are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016. A 10% unfavorable change in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate would have decreased our comprehensive income by $4.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2016. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including such officers, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016 to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In May 2015, our subsidiary DNAG filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Ancestry.com DNA LLC (“Ancestry”) relating to the manufacture and sale by Ancestry of its oral fluid DNA collection device (the “Ancestry Device”). Ancestry previously purchased DNAG’s patented oral fluid DNA collection devices. The complaint alleges that the manufacture and sale by Ancestry of the Ancestry Device infringes U.S. Patent No. 8,221,381 B2, which is owned by DNAG. In addition, the complaint alleges that Ancestry has breached the terms of agreements under which Ancestry previously purchased DNAG products. The complaint also includes an action to quiet title to the Ancestry Device and related patent applications. DNAG is requesting the court to grant injunctive relief and damages. Ancestry has filed counterclaims seeking a declaration of non-infringement, invalidity, and to quiet title to its patent applications. The Court set a scheduling conference for May 16, 2016.

On October 20, 2015, Ancestry filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) a Petition for Inter Partes Review of some, but not all, claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,221,381 B2. On April 8, 2016, the USPTO instituted an inter partes review of some, but not all of the claims raised in Ancestry’s petition. A final decision from the USPTO is expected by April 8, 2017.

In July 2015, DNAG filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Spectrum DNA, Spectrum Solutions L.L.C. and Spectrum Packaging L.L.C. (collectively “Spectrum”) relating to the manufacture and sale by Spectrum of an oral fluid DNA collection device (the “Spectrum Device”). We believe the Spectrum Device is the same as the Ancestry device mentioned above and that Spectrum is the manufacturer of the Ancestry Device for Ancestry. The complaint alleges that the manufacture and sale by Spectrum of the Spectrum Device infringes U.S. patent number 8,221,381 B-2, which is owned by DNAG. DNAG is requesting the court to grant injunctive relief and damages. The case is currently in a jurisdictional discovery stage.
