Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 8, 2004, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed
the November 2002 decision in favor of the Company and Metabolite Laboratories,
Inc. in the LabCorp litigation.
LabCorp now has limited legal options available to them, and may either
request a rehearing en banc or file a petition to appeal this decision to the
U.S. Supreme Court, or both. We do not know what course of action LabCorp will
take; however, ultimately we expect that the decision of the court will continue
to be upheld in our favor.
We have not received any cash nor have we recorded any revenue related to
the damages awarded in this decision. We will record any revenue from this
decision when this decision is final and unappealable.
For further information relating to this lawsuit, please refer to the
discussion under the caption "LabCorp" under "Legal Proceedings" in the
Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2004,
under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
