Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 5, 2004, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
denied LabCorp's petition for a rehearing or a rehearing en banc of a June 8,
2004 decision affirming the November 2002 decision in favor of the Company and
Metabolite Laboratories, Inc. in the LabCorp litigation.
LabCorp's only remaining options now are either to accept the court's
decision or appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. We do not know what
course of action LabCorp will choose; however, ultimately we expect that the
original 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 lawsuit.
For further information relating to this lawsuit, please refer to the
discussion in Note 9 under the heading "Contingencies" in Part I in our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 30, 2004, and
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.
