• | Total balance in cash and cash equivalents was $57.1 million at the end of December 31, 2013. |
Product revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $82.1 million and service and other revenue was $10.5 million. This compares to product revenue of $76.4 million and service and other revenue of $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

For the fourth quarter of 2013, operating expenses were $51.1 million on a GAAP basis as compared to $54.4 million in 2012. Excluding Non-GAAP adjustments such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring charges, operating expenses were $47.9 million, compared to an adjusted total of $48.5 million in 2012. The decrease in 2013 is primarily driven by lower headcount following the restructuring announced on January 11, 2013 and due to non-recurring acquisition- and integration-related costs incurred during 2012 partially off-set by higher variable compensation expenditure. Please refer to the "Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses" for a reconciliation of these GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures.

"We made substantial progress on our strategic plan in 2013," said Frank Witney, President and CEO. "Our efforts in establishing ourselves in the translational medicine, molecular diagnostic, and applied science markets are clearly paying off. Last month we received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for our CytoScan Dx test. In addition, we have introduced a number of new products that will further our position into large, rapidly growing markets such as tumor profiling and AgBio testing."
"We had a strong finish to 2013, returning the Company to growth in the second half of the year," stated Gavin Wood, EVP and CFO. "In addition, we significantly strengthened our balance sheet. During the fourth quarter we made net prepayments in excess of $24 million against our senior debt, reducing our outstanding senior debt to approximately $39 million. We also increased our cash position and exited the year with cash-on-hand of about $57 million."
Recent developments:
• | On January 21st, 2014, the Company announced that it received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its CytoScan® Dx Assay. This assay is intended for the postnatal detection of DNA copy number variants (CNV) in patients referred for chromosomal testing. CytoScan Dx Assay is designed to help physicians diagnose children's developmental and intellectual disabilities more comprehensively by enabling a high-resolution genome-wide analysis of genetic aberrations. High resolution analysis can reveal small aberrations not readily seen by traditional techniques. |
