Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On September 30, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell, and sold, its Union Biometrica division, which contained the COPAS flow cytometry product line, and its German subsidiary, Union Biometrica GmbH, representing at that time the remaining portion of the Company's Capital Equipment Business Segment. Accordingly, the Company is able to estimate the costs associated with the divestiture of this portion of its Capital Equipment Business Segment to be approximately $0.4 million of legal and investment banking fees, a portion of which was included in the Company's previously reported financial results for periods ended on or before June 30, 2008, and a loss of approximately $0.02 million. The Company estimates that, of these costs, between approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million are expected to result in future cash expenditures. The foregoing loss does not include the various asset impairment charges that the Company has recorded through June 30, 2008 relating to the Capital Equipment Business Segment, all of which have been previously disclosed in the Company's Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
