NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
JUNE 30, 2005
     CompuCom Systems, Inc., previously a majority-owned subsidiary, is accounted for as a discontinued operation (see Note 3). Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of this business have been segregated from those of continuing operations for all periods presented.
     Tangram was consolidated through February 20, 2004 at which time it was sold to Opsware, Inc. in a stock and debt for stock exchange. The Company recorded an $8.5 million gain on the transaction, which is included in Other Income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation including the reclassification of CompuCom, previously a majority owned subsidiary, as discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the Company’s interest in October 2004. The impact of these changes did not affect the Company’s net loss.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     On October 1, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its interest in CompuCom.
Results of the discontinued operation are as follows:

6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No.123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) will require companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) requires additional accounting and disclosure related to the income tax and cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective beginning as of the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006. This new standard may be adopted in one of two ways – the modified prospective transition method or the modified retrospective transition method. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), which will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. See the pro forma disclosures currently provided under SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, in Note 10.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,” an amendment of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective prospectively for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning in our third quarter of 2005. We do not believe adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In May 2005, the Company renewed its revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings and issuances of letters of credit and guarantees of up to $55 million. As part of the May 2005 amendment, the revolving credit facility was amended such that the remaining $3.7 million available under the letters of credit is now classified as available under the revolving credit bringing the total to $48.7 million under revolving credit and $6.3 million under letter of credit facility.
     Borrowing availability under the facility is reduced by the face amount of outstanding letters of credit, guarantees and all other loan facilities between the same lender and our controlled companies. This credit facility matures in May 2006 and bears interest at the prime rate (6.25% at June 30, 2005) for outstanding borrowings. The credit facility is subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.0125%, which is subject to reduction based on deposits maintained at the bank. The facility requires cash collateral equal to one times any amounts outstanding under the facility.

(a)	 	The Company’s ability to borrow under its credit facility is limited by the total facilities maintained by its subsidiaries at the same bank. Of the total facilities, $23.2 million is outstanding under these facilities at June 30, 2005 and included as debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.	
 		
(b)	 	In connection with the sale of CompuCom, the Company provided to the landlord of CompuCom’s Dallas headquarters lease, a letter of credit, which will expire on March 19, 2019, in an amount equal to $6.3 million.	
     On August 1, 2005, the Company amended its credit facility, increasing the facility by $5 million for a period of 180 days to $60 million on the same terms and conditions. In addition, a subsidiary increased their facility by $3 million. Availability under the facility at August 2, 2005 was $6.7 million.
     Five consolidated companies maintain separate revolving credit facilities which provide for aggregate borrowings of $44.0 million. As of June 30, 2005, outstanding borrowings under these facilities were $23.2 million. Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the assets of the respective subsidiaries. These obligations bear interest at variable rates ranging between the prime rate minus 0.5% and the prime rate plus 1.0%. These facilities contain financial and non financial covenants and expire at various points in the first quarter of 2006. During the first quarter of 2005, two subsidiaries did not comply with certain financial covenants and subsequently received waivers from the lender.
     Debt as of June 30, 2005 bears interest at fixed rates ranging between 4.0% and 22% and variable rates indexed to the prime rate plus 1.75% and variable rates indexed to the 3 Year Treasury rate. Debt as of December 31, 2004 bore interest at fixed rates between 4.0% and 22.0% and variable rates indexed to the prime rate plus 1.5%.

During 2004, the Company repurchased or redeemed all of the 2006 Notes for an aggregate cost of $201.4 million, including transaction costs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of expense related to the acceleration of deferred debt costs associated with the 2006 Notes, which is included in Other Income, Net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

JUNE 30, 2005
     In February 2004, the Company completed the sale of $150 million of 2.625% convertible senior debentures with a stated maturity of March 15, 2024. Interest on the 2024 Debentures is payable semi-annually. At the debenture holders’ option, the debentures are convertible into our common stock through March 14, 2024, subject to certain conditions. The conversion rate of the debentures at June 30, 2005 was $7.2174 of principal amount per share. The closing price of the Company’s common stock at June 30, 2005 was $1.28. The Debenture holders may require repurchase of the debentures on March 21, 2011, March 20, 2014 or March 20, 2019 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their respective face amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Debenture holders may also require repurchase of the debentures upon certain events, including sale of all or substantially all of our common stock or assets, liquidation, dissolution or a change in control. Subject to certain conditions, we may redeem all or some of the debentures commencing March 20, 2009.
     As required by the terms of the 2024 Debentures, after completing the sale of CompuCom, the Company escrowed $16.7 million on October 8, 2004 for interest payments through March 15, 2009 on the 2024 Debentures. A total of $15.1 million is included in Restricted Marketable Securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2005, of which $3.8 million is classified as a current asset.
10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, no compensation expense is recorded for stock options issued to employees at fair market value. Stock options issued to non-employees are measured at fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model and are expensed over the vesting period.
     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” — an amendment to SFAS 123.” SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amended the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

11. INCOME TAXES
     The Company’s consolidated income tax expense recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $0.2 million, net of a change in the valuation allowance of $2.4 million. The Company’s consolidated income tax benefit recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $11 thousand, net of a change in the valuation allowance of $8.1 million. The tax relates primarily to the Company’s share of a net state and foreign taxes recorded by subsidiaries. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized in future years.

     If a consolidated or equity method company has dilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock, warrants or securities outstanding, diluted net loss per share is computed by first deducting from net loss the income attributable to the potential exercise of the dilutive securities of the company. This impact is shown as an adjustment to net loss for purposes of calculating diluted net loss per share.
     The following potential shares of common stock and their effects on income were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

 	•	 	At June 30, 2005, options to purchase 8.7 million shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.03 to $45.47 per share, were excluded from the 2005 calculations. At June 30, 2004, options to purchase 9.5 million shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.25 to $50.98 per share, were excluded from the 2004 calculations.	
 		
 	•	 	At June 30, 2005 and 2004, restricted stock units convertible into 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, of stock and deferred stock units convertible into 0.5 million and 1.1 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculations.	
 		
 	•	 	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, 3.1 million and 5.2 million shares related to the Company’s 2006 Notes (See Note 9) representing the weighted average effect of assumed conversion of the 2006 Notes were excluded from the calculation.

14. OPERATING SEGMENTS
     Management evaluates segment performance based on segment revenue, operating income (loss) and income (loss) before income taxes, which reflects the portion of income (loss) allocated to minority shareholders.
     Other Items includes certain corporate expenses, which are not identifiable to the operations of the Company’s operating business segments. Other Items primarily consists of general and administrative expenses related to employee compensation, insurance and professional fees including legal, finance and consulting. Other Items also includes interest income, interest expense and income taxes, which are reviewed by management independent of segment results.
     The following tables reflect the Company’s consolidated operating data by reportable segments. Each segment includes the results of the consolidated companies and records the Company’s share of income or losses for entities accounted for under the equity method. Segment results also include impairment charges, gains or losses related to the disposition of the companies and the mark to market of trading securities. All significant intersegment activity has been eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, segment results reported by the Company exclude the effect of transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and among the Company’s subsidiaries.
     Revenue is attributed to geographic areas based on where the services are performed or the customer’s shipped to location. A majority of the Company’s revenue is generated in the United States.
     As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company’s assets were primarily located in the United States.
     The following represents the segment data from continuing operations:

18. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
    Acquisitions by the Company — 2005
     In April and June 2005, the Company acquired additional shares of Pacific Title from minority shareholders for a total of $1.3 million, increasing its ownership in Pacific Title from 93% to 100%.
    Acquisitions by the Company — 2004
     In 2004, the Company completed the following acquisitions:

 	•	 	Acquired substantially all of the assets comprising the business of Laureate Pharma L.P.	
 		
 	•	 	Acquired additional shares of Pacific Title from minority interest shareholders for a total of $1.8 million, increasing its ownership in Pacific Title from 84% to 93%.

19. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     In October 2000, the Company guaranteed certain margin loans advanced by a third party to Mr. Musser, then the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The securities subject to the margin account included shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company entered into this guarantee arrangement to maintain an orderly trading market for its equity securities, to maintain its compliance posture with the Investment Company Act of 1940, and to avoid diversion of the attention of a key executive from the performance of his responsibilities to the Company. In May 2001, the Company entered into a $26.5 million loan agreement with Mr. Musser. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay the margin loans guaranteed by Safeguard in October 2000. The purpose of the May 2001 loan agreement was to eliminate the guarantee obligations and to provide for direct and senior access to Mr. Musser’s assets as collateral for the loan.
     The loan bears interest at the default annual rate of 9% and became payable on a limited basis on January 1, 2003. The Company sent Mr. Musser a demand notice in January 2003 and, when no payment was received, a default notice. In conjunction with the original loan, Mr. Musser granted the Company security interests in securities and real estate as collateral. Based on the information available to us, the Company also concluded that Mr. Musser may not have sufficient personal assets to satisfy the outstanding balance due under the loan when the loan becomes full recourse against Mr. Musser on May 18, 2006. To date the Company has impaired the loan by $15.8 million, including an aggregate of $0.3 million in 2005, to the estimated value of the collateral that the Company held at each respective date. The Company’s carrying value of the loan at June 30, 2005 is $1.1 million. The Company will continue to evaluate the value of the collateral to the carrying value of the note on a quarterly basis.
20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in several pending legal actions including the Safeguard Securities litigation and the CompuCom Securities litigation, as described in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no material developments in these actions during the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
     As previously reported, the outcome of the above litigation matters are uncertain, and while we believe that we have valid defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these lawsuits. An adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements and results of operations.
     The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

     Additionally, we have committed capital of approximately $22.0 million related to commitments made in prior years to various private equity funds and a private company, to be funded over the next several years, including approximately $11.3 million which is expected to be funded during the next twelve months.
     On August 1, 2005, the Company increased its guarantee of a subsidiary facility by $3 million.
     Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to return a portion or all the distributions it received as a general partner to the certain private equity funds (the “clawback”). Assuming the funds in which were are a general partner are liquidated or dissolved on June 30, 2005 and assuming for these purposes the only distributions from the funds are equal to the carrying value of the funds on the June 30, 2005 financial statements, the maximum clawback we would be required to return for our general partner interest is approximately $7 million. Management estimates its liability to be approximately $4 million. This amount is reflected in “Other Long-Term Liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
     The Company’s previous ownership in the general partner of the funds which have potential clawback liabilities range from 19-30%. The clawback liability is joint and several, such that the Company may be required to fund the clawback for other general partners should they default. The funds have taken several steps to reduce the potential liabilities should other general partners default, including withholding all general partner distributions in escrow and adding rights of set-off among certain funds. The Company believes its liability due to the default of other general partners is remote.
     In October 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Musser, its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to provide for annual payments of $650,000 per year and certain health care and other benefits for life. The related current liability of $0.5 million is included in Accrued Expenses and the long-term portion of $3.6 million is included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2005.
     The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers that provide for severance payments to the executive officer in the event the officer is terminated without cause or an officer terminates his employment for “good reason”.
     Certain employees of our subsidiaries have the right to require the respective subsidiary to purchase shares of common stock of the subsidiary received by the employee pursuant to the exercise of options. The employee must hold the shares for at least six months prior to exercising this right. The required purchase price is 75% — 100% of the fair market value at the time the right is exercised, and in some cases is subject to a floor of $1.58. At June 30, 2005, the repurchase provisions of these programs are not material.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
      Cautionary Note concerning Forward-Looking Statements
     This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, the industries in which we operate and other matters, as well as management’s beliefs and assumptions and other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts. These statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. For example, when we use words such as “projects,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “will,” “opportunity,” “potential” or “may,” variations of such words or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, we are making forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, include, among others, managing rapidly changing technologies, limited access to capital, competition, the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, the ability to execute our strategy, the uncertainty of the future performance of our companies, acquisitions and dispositions of companies, the inability to manage growth, compliance with government regulation and legal liabilities, additional financing requirements, labor disputes and the effect of economic conditions in the business sectors in which our companies operate, all of which are discussed below under the caption “Factors that May Affect Future Results.” Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict or control. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance.
     All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or to persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
     In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report might not occur.
Overview
     We are focused on owning and operating growth businesses engaged in a number of diverse business activities. We focus primarily on companies in the Time-To-Volume stage of development. Time-to-Volume companies generally are generating revenues from commercially viable products or services and are facing new challenges as they scale their businesses to take advantage of market opportunities. We seek to create long-term shareholder value by helping companies primarily in the information technology and life sciences industries develop through superior operations and management. Our primary focus is on the operations of our consolidated, majority-owned companies and helping them increase market penetration, grow revenue and improve cash flow in order to create long-term value.
     We see growing market opportunities for companies that operate in the following two categories:
§ Information Technology . Including companies focused on complex information technology, software and service solutions; and
§ Life Sciences . Including companies focused on drug formulation or delivery techniques, specialty pharmaceuticals, diagnostics or     devices.
     Our strategy is to acquire majority ownership positions in companies through expansion capital, buyouts, carve-outs, recapitalizations or other structures. In general, we hold our ownership interest in a company as long as we believe that we can leverage our resources to assist the company in achieving superior growth in financial performance and value. On an ongoing basis, we review the current value and prospects of each of our companies in order to determine whether our long-term interests can best be served by holding the company or by realizing the value (or a portion of the value) of the company. As a result, from time-to-time, we may sell an entire company or some or all of our interests in a company and redeploy the capital realized in other opportunities. We may achieve these liquidity events through private transactions with strategic buyers, initial public offerings or other means. In the case of our public companies, we may sell our interests from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated sales or in public offerings. Consistent with that strategy, during 2005, we will continue to assess our companies, consider the strategy of each company, its fit within our strategic focus and its opportunities for growth. As a result of these assessments, we may undertake liquidity events during the course of the year.

Table of Contents

     During 2005, we are focusing our resources on the operations of our consolidated companies — Alliance Consulting, Clarient (formerly ChromaVision), Laureate Pharma, Mantas and Pacific Title. In addition, we are continuing to pursue potential acquisitions and business combinations. We anticipate that any new acquisitions will involve companies that are either in the information technology or life sciences industries or are complementary to our existing companies.
     In addition, we hold interests in a number of other companies, that do not currently operate in the categories described above or that operate in these categories but in which we generally own less than a majority interest. We also participate in earlier stage technology development through our interests in several private equity funds.
     Many of our companies are technology-related companies that have incurred substantial losses in the first half of 2005, and in prior periods. We expect some of these losses to continue as we move further into 2005, while we also expect reductions in their operating losses. In addition, we expect to continue to acquire interests in more technology-related companies that may have operating losses when we acquire them. We also expect certain of our existing companies to continue to invest in their products and services and to recognize operating losses related to those activities. As a result, our operating losses attributable to our corporate operations and our companies could continue to be significant. Our financial results also are affected by acquisitions or dispositions of companies or equity or debt interests in companies. These transactions have resulted in significant volatility in our financial results, which we expect will continue.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Accounting policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of consolidated financial statements prepared by management and are based upon management’s current judgments. These judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience with regard to past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly important because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ from management’s current judgments.
     On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
     While there are a number of accounting policies, methods and estimates affecting our financial statements, areas that are particularly significant include the following:

 	•	 	Revenue recognition	
 		
 	•	 	Recoverability of goodwill	
 		
 	•	 	Recoverability of long-lived assets	
 		
 	•	 	Recoverability of ownership interests in and advances to companies	
 		
 	•	 	Recoverability of notes receivable — related party	
 		
 	•	 	Income taxes	
 		
 	•	 	Allowance for doubtful accounts	
 		
 	•	 	Commitments and contingencies	
    Revenue Recognition
     During 2005, our revenue from continuing operations was primarily attributable to Alliance, Clarient, Laureate Pharma, Mantas and Pacific Title and during 2004, Alliance, Clarient, Mantas and Pacific Title.
     Alliance generates revenue primarily from consulting services. Revenue is generally recognized upon the performance of services. Certain services are performed under fixed-price service contracts related to discrete projects. Revenue from these contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, primarily based on the actual labor hours incurred to date compared to the estimated total hours of the project. Any losses expected to be incurred on jobs in process are charged to income in the period such losses become known.
     Clarient generates revenue from lab services, instrument sales and fee-per-use charges. Clarient recognizes revenue for diagnostic services at the time of completion of services at amounts equal to the contractual rates allowed from third parties
23

Table of Contents

including Medicare, insurance companies and, to a small degree, private patients. These expected amounts are based both on Medicare allowable rates and Clarient ‘s collection experience with other third party payors.
     Clarient places many of its proprietary ACIS ® units with users on a “fee-per-use” basis. Clarient recognizes revenue based on the greater of actual usage fees or the minimum monthly rental fee. Under this pricing model, Clarient owns most of the ACIS ® instruments that are engaged in service and, accordingly, all related depreciation and maintenance and service costs are expensed as incurred. For those instruments that are sold, Clarient recognizes and defers revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (SOP 97-2), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Arrangements.” At the outset of the arrangement with the customer, Clarient defers revenue for the fair value of its undelivered elements (e.g., maintenance) and recognizes revenue for the remainder of the arrangement fee attributable to the elements initially delivered in the arrangement (e.g., software license) when the basic criteria in SOP 97-2 have been met. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, typically twelve months. Revenue on system sales is recognized upon acceptance by the customer, often subsequent to a testing and evaluation period. Systems sold under a leasing agreement are accounted for as sales-type leases pursuant to SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” if applicable. Clarient recognizes the net effect of those transactions as a sale because of the bargain purchase option granted to the lessee.
     Mantas recognizes revenue from software licenses, related consulting services and post contract customer support (PCS). Revenue from software license agreements and product sales is recognized upon delivery, provided that all of the following conditions are met: a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed; the software has been delivered; no significant production, modification or customization of the software is required; the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable. In software arrangements that include rights to software products, hardware products, specified upgrades, PCS, and/or other services, Mantas allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence. Revenue from maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, generally one to five years. Consulting and training services provided by Mantas that are not considered essential to the functionality of the software products are recognized as the respective services are performed.
     For Mantas’ software installations or implementations that include significant production, development or customization, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Mantas measures progress toward completion by reference to total costs incurred compared to total estimated costs to be incurred in completing the development effort. Mantas’ revenue calculated using the percentage completion method is limited by the existence of customer acceptance provisions of contractually defined milestones and corresponding customer rights to refund for certain portions of the fee. In cases where acceptance provisions exist, Mantas defers revenue recognition until Mantas has evidence that the acceptance provisions have been met. When current analysis of cost estimates indicate a loss is expected to be incurred, the entire loss is recorded in the period in which it is identified.
     Pacific Title’s revenue is primarily derived from providing post-production services to the motion picture and television industry. Laureate’s revenue is generated by sale of contract manufacturing services to support the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products. Revenue is generally recognized upon the performance of services. Certain services are performed under fixed-price contracts. Revenue from these contracts is recognized on a percentage of completion basis based on costs incurred to total estimated costs to be incurred. Any anticipated losses on contracts are expensed when identified.
    Recoverability of Goodwill
     We conduct a review for impairment of goodwill at least annually. Additionally, on an interim basis, we assess the impairment of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or expected future operating results, significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends or a decline in a company’s stock price for a sustained period.
     We test for impairment at a level referred to as a reporting unit (same as or one level below an operating segment as defined in SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”). If we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we assess the recoverability of these assets. To determine fair
24

Table of Contents

value, we use a number of valuation methods including quoted market prices, discounted cash flows and revenue and acquisition multiples. Depending on the complexity of the valuation and the significance of the carrying value of the goodwill to the financial statements, we may engage an outside valuation firm to assist us in determining fair value. As an overall check on the reasonableness of the fair values attributed to our reporting units, we will consider comparing and contrasting the aggregate fair values for all reporting units with our average total market capitalization for a reasonable period of time.
     The carrying value of goodwill at June 30, 2005 was $93 million.
     We operate in industries which are rapidly evolving and extremely competitive. It is reasonably possible that our accounting estimates with respect to the ultimate recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill could change in the near term and that the effect of such changes on our Consolidated Financial Statements could be material. While we believe that the current recorded carrying values of our companies are not impaired, there can be no assurance that a significant write-down or write-off will not be required in the future.
    Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
     We test long-lived assets, including property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not be able to recover the asset’s carrying amount. When events or changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may exist, we evaluate the recoverability by determining whether the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of that asset cover the carrying value at the evaluation date. If the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value, we measure any impairment loss as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.
     The carrying value of net intangible assets at June 30, 2005 was $9 million. The carrying value of net property and equipment at June 30, 2005 was $45 million.
    Recoverability of Ownership Interests In and Advances to Companies
     On a continuous basis, but no less frequently than at the end of each quarterly period, we evaluate the carrying value of our companies for possible impairment based on achievement of business plan objectives and milestones, the fair value of each company relative to its carrying value, the financial condition and prospects of the company and other relevant factors. We then determine whether there has been an other than temporary decline in the carrying value of our ownership interest in the company. Impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
     The fair value of privately held companies is generally determined based on the value at which independent third parties have invested or have committed to invest in these companies. The fair value of our ownership interests in private equity funds is generally determined based on the value of our pro rata portion of the funds’ net assets and estimated future proceeds from sales of investments provided by the funds’ managers.
     The new cost basis of a company is not written-up if circumstances suggest the value of the company has subsequently recovered.
     We operate in industries which are rapidly evolving and extremely competitive. It is reasonably possible that our accounting estimates with respect to the ultimate recoverability of the carrying value of ownership interests in and advances to companies, including goodwill, could change in the near term and that the effect of such changes on our Consolidated Financial Statements could be material. While we believe that the current recorded carrying values of our companies are not impaired, there can be no assurance that our future results will confirm this assessment or that a significant write-down or write-off of the carrying value will not be required in the future.
    Recoverability of Notes Receivable — Related Party
     A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In May 2001, we entered into a $26.5 million loan agreement with Mr. Musser, our former CEO. On a quarterly basis, we assess the recoverability of the loan, by reviewing the fair value of the liquid collateral supporting the loan and estimating future cash flows discounted at the loan’s

effective rate, as well as determining whether there have been any significant, adverse, other than temporary changes in the estimated fair value of other collateral that does not have readily available fair values. We do not accrue interest when a note is considered impaired. All cash receipts from impaired notes are applied to reduce the principal amount of such note until the principal has been fully recovered, and is recognized as interest income thereafter.
     As of June 30, 2005, the value of the collateral pledged by Mr. Musser to secure the loan had an approximate value of $1.1 million compared to the loan’s carrying value of $1.1 million after giving effect to a $0.1 million impairment charge in the second quarter of 2005. The collateral pledged includes $0.4 million of publicly traded securities, $0.2 million of privately held securities, and $0.5 million of private equity fund interests. The publicly traded securities are valued using quoted market prices, the privately held securities have been valued based on the price at which the privately held company has offered to pay shareholders to acquire the shares and the private equity fund interests are valued based upon the estimated fair value of the net assets of the fund. We will continue to evaluate the value of the collateral compared to the carrying value of the note on a quarterly basis.
    Income Taxes
     We are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We must assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent that we believe recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized in future years. If we determine in the future that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, then the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed.
    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate prepared by management based on identification of the collectibility of specific accounts and the overall condition of the receivable portfolios. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we specifically analyze trade receivables, historical bad debts, customer credits, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of customers or vendors were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Likewise, should we determine that we would be able to realize more of our receivables in the future than previously estimated, an adjustment to the allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjustments are recorded as deemed necessary.
    Commitments and Contingencies
     From time to time, we are a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions which arise in the normal course of business. Additionally, we have received distributions as both a general partner and a limited partner from certain private equity funds. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to return a portion or all the distributions we received as a general partner to the fund for a further distribution to the fund’s limited partners (the “clawback”). We are also a guarantor of various third-party obligations and commitments, and are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of provision required for these commitments and contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each matter. The provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances. Changes in the provision could increase or decrease our earnings in the period the changes are made.
Results of Operations
     Management evaluates segment performance based on segment revenue, operating income (loss) and income (loss) before income taxes, which reflects the portion of income (loss) allocated to minority shareholders.

     Other items include certain expenses which are not identifiable to the operations of the Company’s operating business segments. Other items primarily consists of general and administrative expenses related to employee compensation, insurance and professional fees, including legal, finance and consulting. Other items also includes interest income, interest expense and income taxes, which are reviewed by management independent of segment results.
     The following tables reflect our consolidated operating data by reportable segments. Each segment includes the results of our consolidated companies and records our share of income or losses for entities accounted for under the equity method. Segment results also include impairment charges, gains or losses related to the disposition of the companies and the mark to market of trading securities. All significant intersegment activity has been eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, segment results reported by us exclude the effect of transactions between us and our subsidiaries and among our subsidiaries.

     There is intense competition in the markets in which these companies operate, and we expect competition to intensify in the future. Additionally, the markets in which these companies operate are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent introduction of new products and services, shifting distribution channels, evolving government regulation, frequently changing intellectual property landscapes and changing customer demands. Their future success depends on each company’s ability to execute its business plan and to adapt to its respective rapidly changing markets.

     Alliance is an information technology services and consulting firm that provides custom software solutions and IT consulting services to clients in the Fortune 2000 market. Alliance’s business-driven solutions enable corporate performance management through the delivery of business intelligence and data warehousing, custom application development and outsourcing, packaged software integration and strategic consulting services. Over its ten-year history, Alliance has developed considerable domain expertise in the pharmaceutical, financial services, manufacturing, healthcare and distribution industries.
     While global economic conditions continue to cause companies to be cautious about increasing their use of consulting and IT services, Alliance continues to see growing demand for its services. However, Alliance continues to experience pricing pressure from competitors as well as from clients facing pressure to control costs. In addition, the growing use of offshore resources to provide lower cost service delivery capabilities within the industry continues to place pressure on pricing and revenue. Alliance expects to continue to focus on maintaining and growing its blue chip client base and providing high quality solutions and services to its clients.
     In October 2004, Alliance acquired Mensamind, (now Alliance India) a software development company based in Hyderabad, India. This acquisition has enabled Alliance to provide offshore capabilities to its existing and new clients. Since the transaction was completed in October 2004, the acquisition did not have a material effect on the consolidated operating results of Alliance for 2004. Alliance expects that revenue from off-shore operations will increase substantially as compared to 2004, but will account for less than five percent of total revenue in 2005.
     At June 30, 2005, we owned 100% of Alliance.
Revenue .
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Revenue, including reimbursement of expenses, decreased $2.3 million, or 9.7%, to $21.5 million in 2005 as compared to $23.8 million in 2004. This decrease is primarily due to its largest customer canceling 2005 active projects to control its costs and the prior year including a substantial acquisition-related integration project for the same customer. Alliance expects that this customer will begin spending in the later half of the year but not at its 2004 spending levels. Revenue for the rest of 2005 is expected to benefit from continued growth in two new service offerings — Master Data Management (MDM) and Global Delivery — which were introduced during 2004. MDM includes business intelligence and data management as well as corporate performance management. Global Delivery is Alliance’s high quality, lower priced offshore delivery and support service. These new services generated an aggregate of $0.9 million of revenue during the second quarter of 2005.

     Alliance’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 59% of total revenue in 2005 as compared to approximately 57% of total revenue in 2004. One customer individually had revenue greater than 10% of total revenue during the quarter while a different customer generated revenue greater than 10% of total revenue during 2004.
      Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Revenue, including reimbursement of expenses, decreased $4.0 million, or 8.5%, to $43.3 million in 2005 as compared to $47.3 million in 2004. This decrease is primarily due to its largest customer canceling active projects to control their costs and the prior year including a substantial acquisition-related integration project, continued consolidation within the pharmaceutical and financial services sectors and completion of several longer term engagements during 2004 without follow-on services. Master Data Management and Global Delivery generated an aggregate of $2.1 million of revenue in 2005.
     Alliance’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 59% of total revenue in 2005 as compared to approximately 53% of total revenue in 2004. One customer individually had revenue greater than 10% of total revenue while a different customer generated revenue greater than 10% of total revenue during 2004.
     Due to targeted sales efforts, Alliance expects both revenue and incremental gross profit associated with MDM and Global Delivery to increase in future periods. Overall revenue growth continues to be impacted by general economic uncertainty, causing many clients to delay project starts, award projects in multiple stages instead of one large project or curtail their IT spending.
Cost of Sales .
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Cost of sales decreased $1.4 million, or 8.6%, to $14.8 million in 2005 as compared to $16.2 million in 2004. This decrease was a direct result of the decrease in revenue. Gross margin decreased to 31.1% from 31.9% due to the completion of higher margin acquisition-related integration work in 2004. In addition, the increase in overall pricing pressures within the industry and increased employee and contractor costs as competition for talent has increased with declines in unemployment levels have negatively impacted margins. Also, pricing concessions made to customers in exchange for greater volume were partially offset by the introduction of higher margin service offerings during the year and internal improvements surrounding project management that prevented cost overruns during the delivery process.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Cost of sales decreased $2.7 million, or 8.4%, to $29.8 million in 2005 as compared to $32.5 million in 2004. This decrease was a direct result of the decrease in revenue. Gross margin remained flat at 31.2% in 2005 as compared to 31.3% in 2004. In addition, the increase in overall pricing pressures within the industry and increased employee and contractor costs as competition for talent has increased with declines in unemployment levels have negatively impacted margins. Also, pricing concessions made to customers in exchange for greater volume were offset by the introduction of higher margin service offerings during the year and internal improvements surrounding project management that prevented cost overruns during the delivery process.
     During the balance of 2005, gross margins are expected to continue to be impacted by general economic uncertainty, pricing pressures both with clients and consultants, resource availability and efficiency in project management.
Selling, General and Administrative.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $3.0 million, or 32.2%, to $6.4 million in 2005 as compared to $9.4 million in 2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 29.8% of revenue in 2005 as compared to 39.7% of revenue in 2004. The decrease in dollars and as a percentage of revenue are due to the cost savings associated with transitioning certain support functions to Alliance India, relocating Alliance’s corporate headquarters and Philadelphia sales office, and a decrease in variable compensation due to the decline in revenue. In addition, 2004 included $0.7 million of severance related to a former executive and stock-based compensation charges for certain other executives.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $3.2 million, or 19.3%, to $13.5 million in 2005 as compared to $16.8 million in 2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 31.3% of revenue in 2005 as compared to 35.5% of revenue in 2004. The decrease in dollars and as a percentage of revenue are due to the cost savings associated with transitioning certain support functions to India, and relocating its corporate headquarters while reducing and Philadelphia sales office and a decline in variable compensation due to the decline in revenue. In addition, 2004 included $0.7 million of severance related to a former executive and stock-based compensation charges for certain other executives.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to increase as the business continues to grow; however, as a percentage of revenue, costs are expected to decrease as headcount additions made during 2004 and the office relocations begin to generate a return on investment.
Amortization.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Amortization expense associated with amortizable intangible assets increased $0.1 million to $0.2 million in 2005 as compared to $0.1 million in 2004. The increase was due to an increase in amortizable intangible assets as a result of Alliance’s acquisition of Mensamind during October 2004.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Amortization expense associated with amortizable intangible assets increased $0.2 million to $0.5 million in 2005 as compared to $0.3 million in 2004. The increase was due to an increase in amortizable intangible assets as a result of Alliance’s acquisition of Mensamind during October 2004.
Amortization expense is not expected to change for the remainder of 2005.
Net Loss Before Income Taxes.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Net loss decreased $1.9 million or 92.1% to $0.2 million in 2005 as compared to $2.1 million in 2004. The improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially offset by the decline in revenue during 2005.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Net loss decreased $1.5 million or 63.7% to $0.9 million in 2005 as compared to $2.4 million in 2004. The improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially offset by the decline in revenue during 2005.

     Clarient is an advanced diagnostics technology and services company focused on improving the quality of patient care while reducing medical costs and speeding the discovery of new drugs to treat cancer. Clarient’s proprietary Automated Cellular Imaging System (ACIS Ò ) is a versatile automated microscope system that greatly improves the accuracy and reproducibility of cell imaging through its unique patented technology. Clarient also provides comprehensive laboratory services ranging from in-house pathology testing using the ACIS Ò to other diagnostic technologies that assist physicians in managing cancer. In addition, Clarient develops ACIS Ò -based tools for academic and biopharmaceutical company researchers, allowing them to perform cellular-level analyses much faster and with improved accuracy.
     The decision to provide in-house laboratory services was made in 2004 to give Clarient an opportunity to capture a significant service-related revenue stream over the much broader and expanding cancer diagnostic testing marketplace while also optimizing the level of service and accuracy provided to remote pathology customers. Clarient believes that they are positioned to participate in this growth because of their proprietary analysis capabilities, depth of experience of the staff in

their diagnostic laboratory, relationships with the pharmaceutical companies and demonstrated ability to develop unique assays to support new diagnostic tests.
     As of June 30, 2005, we owned a 57% voting interest in Clarient.
Revenue.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Revenue increased $2.8 million or 117.9% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Clarient attributes this increase to its new diagnostic services offerings, which totaled $2.6 million in 2005, as compared to approximately $0.2 million in 2004, when Clarient first began their laboratory operations. Revenue generated from system sales increased $0.7 million in 2005 as compared to 2004. At total of 14 ACIS® units were sold in 2005 as compare to 5 systems in 2004. These increases were partially offset by a decline in fee-per-use revenue of $0.4 million, which was caused by a reduction of ACIS® placements as a result of customers electing to purchase their equipment following the expiration of their lease.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Revenue increased $4.9 million in 2005 as compared to 2004. Clarient attributes this increase to its new diagnostic services offerings, which totaled $4.5 million in 2005, with no significant comparable figure in 2004 as these services commenced late in the second quarter of 2004. Revenue generated from system sales increased $1.2 million in 2005 as compared to 2004. A total of 24 ACIS® systems were sold in 2005 as compared to 8 systems in 2004. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in fee-per-use revenue of $0.7 million in 2005 as compared to 2004, which was caused by a reduction of ACIS® placements as a result of customers electing to purchase their equipment following the expiration of their lease.
     Clarient anticipates that diagnostic services revenues will continue to increase throughout 2005 because it is now able to offer a more comprehensive suite of advanced cancer diagnostic tests. Additionally, they expect revenue from the system sales to increase as a result of their distribution arrangement with DAKO and due to an expanded sales force and marketing efforts to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies (and their academic research partners).
Cost of Sales .
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Cost of sales increased $1.6 million or 136.1% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Cost of sales related to diagnostic services was $2.0 million in 2005 as compared to $0.1 million in 2004, when Clarient commenced offering diagnostic laboratory services. Costs were approximately 77% of diagnostic services revenue. Cost of sales related to system sales and fee-per-use declined in 2005 as compared to 2004. Gross margins for system sales were 75% in 2005 as compared to 55% in 2004. The improvement was due primarily to lower costs of sale for systems sold, which in many cases were refurbished older systems, and due to lower costs of field service.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Cost of sales increased $3.1 million or 149.2% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Cost of sales related to diagnostic services was $3.9 million in 2005. Costs were approximately 87% of diagnostic services revenue. Cost of sales related to system sales and fee-per-use declined in 2005 as compared to 2004. Gross margins for system sales were 73% in 2005 as compared to 52% in 2004. The improvement was due primarily to lower costs of sale for systems sold, which in many cases were refurbished older systems, and also due to lower costs of field service.
     Clarient believes that as the diagnostic services operation increases in size throughout 2005, margins for this business will increase to target levels of approximately 40%. However, depending on the pace of the revenue increase for these services it may take anywhere from two to four quarters or longer for Clarient to begin realizing margins of this magnitude. Clarient expects that margins for the remainder of 2005 will be similar to those achieved in the most recent quarter from systems sales in non-exclusive markets such as to pharmaceutical companies. Clarient expects that the margins for systems sold through the DAKO distribution agreement will be lower as a result of the pricing terms of their arrangement with DAKO, although they anticipate an increase in the number of systems sold.
Selling, General and Administrative.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $0.5 million or 9.4% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Clarient attributes the decline to higher expenses in 2004 related to various legal costs, non-cash compensation charges related to stock options and restricted stock and outside consulting costs for interim CEO management services. Partially offsetting

the decline is an increase related to diagnostic services administration costs and the reduction in personnel as a result of the fourth quarter 2004 workforce reduction. Diagnostic services administration includes the costs of senior medical staff, senior operations personnel, collection costs, consultants and legal resources to facilitate implementation of the diagnostic services operation.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Selling, general and administrative costs increased $0.7 million or 8.0% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Clarient attributes the increase to diagnostic services administration, partially offset by a decline in selling, general and administrative costs due to higher expenses in 2004 related to various legal costs, non-cash compensation charges related to stock options and restricted stock and outside consulting costs for interim CEO management services and the result of the fourth quarter 2004 workforce reduction. Partially offsetting the decline is an increase related to diagnostic services administration costs.
     Clarient anticipates that selling, general and administrative costs will increase in the future with the addition of sales resources to support the projected increase in service revenues and due to higher collection costs from a third party billing and collection company on an anticipated increase in revenue.
Research and Development.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Research and development costs declined $0.5 million or 39.0% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Clarient attributes the decline primarily to the reduction in personnel that resulted in a fourth quarter 2004 workforce reduction.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Research and development costs declined $0.6 million or 25.8% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Clarient attributes the decline primarily to the reduction in personnel that resulted in a fourth quarter 2004 workforce reduction.
     Clarient expects these costs to increase over the next several quarters to support the new development activity contemplated in their distribution and development agreement with DAKO. A portion of these expenses will be funded by DAKO under the terms of Clarient's distribution and development agreement. These new development activities, which are intended to produce features that could expand the volume of clinical tests supported by ACIS® and increase the attractiveness of the ACIS® as a tool for researchers, are important to increasing clinical system test volume, expanding the number of clinical system placements, and increasing research system sales.
Net Los s Before Income Taxes .
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Net loss declined $1.4 million or 40.5% in 2005 as compared to 2004. The decline in net loss is primarily attributable to the reasons discussed above, partially offset by a $0.9 million reduction in minority interest.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Net loss declined $1.3 million or 22.5% in 2005 as compared to 2004. The decline in net loss is primarily attributable to the reasons discussed above, partially offset by a $0.5 million reduction in minority interest.

     Laureate Pharma is a life sciences company dedicated to providing critical services to facilitate biopharmaceutical product development and manufacturing. Laureate Pharma seeks to become a leader in the biopharmaceutical and novel drug-delivery industry by delivering superior development and manufacturing services to its customers.
     Large pharmaceutical companies and smaller biotechnology companies are developing new biotechnology products for human therapeutics. These companies, particularly biotechnology companies, are highly dependent on funding to develop new drugs from basic research through clinical trials. Few have the resources or expertise to build the facilities, equipment and staff needed to manufacture the quantities of drug product needed to conduct clinical trials and commercialize approved products. Laureate Pharma provides its customers with a cost-effective, lower-risk alternative, which also improves the quality of their products and processes and reduces time-to-market.
     Laureate Pharma’s broad range of services include: Bioprocessing, Drug Delivery Services, Quality Control and Quality Assurance. Laureate Pharma provides process development and manufacturing services on a contract basis to biopharmaceutical companies. Laureate Pharma operates facilities in Princeton (bioprocessing) and Totowa (drug delivery), New Jersey.
     As of June 30, 2005, we owned a 100% voting interest in Laureate Pharma.
     Laureate’s revenue is generated by the sale of contract manufacturing services to support the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products. Revenue is generally recognized upon the performance of services. Certain services are performed under fixed-price contracts. Revenue from these contracts is recognized on a percentage of completion basis based on costs incurred to total estimated costs to be incurred. Any anticipated losses on contracts are expensed when identified.
Revenue .
      Quarter June 30, 2005 vs. March 31, 2005. Revenue increased $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. Laureate attributes this increase to revenue associated with a remediation project at their Totowa facility as well as revenue generated from a single project at the Princeton facility.
Operating Expenses.
      Quarter June 30, 2005 vs. March 31, 2005. Operating expenses increased $0.7 million or 11.4% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. Laureate attributes this increase to costs such as temporary help and consultants as well as materials and lab supplies associated with the increase in revenue.

     Laureate Pharma’s customers often pursue drugs that are in early stages of clinical trials, and thus have high failure rates. Losses of one or more customer projects can result in significant swings in revenue and profitability from quarter to quarter and year to year. Although there has been a trend among biopharmaceutical companies to outsource drug production functions, this trend may not continue. Many of Laureate Pharma’s contracts are short term in duration. As a result, Laureate Pharma must continually replace many of its contracts with new contracts to sustain its revenue.

     As of June 30, 2005, we owned 88% voting interest in Mantas.
Revenue.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Total revenue increased $2.6 million or 47.2% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Financial services revenue has increased substantially with an increase in revenue by $2.9 million because of the addition of new customers and incremental sales into existing accounts. Telecommunications revenue has declined quarter over quarter due primarily to delayed customer acceptances resulting from extended installation time.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Total revenue increased $4.0 million or 36.3% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Although product license revenue increased substantially within the financial services projects, Mantas did not recognize any product license revenue from telecommunications projects during 2005 which offset this increase.
     Mantas expects revenue to continue to increase in the second half of 2005.
Cost of Sales .
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Cost of sales increased $0.8 million or 24.4% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Mantas attributes this increase to increased revenue. Gross margin improved due to improved service margins and additional acceptances during the quarter, partially offset by increased amortization of capitalized software as a result of the release of Mantas 4.x in fall 2004. Services margins within financial services for the quarters were approximately 55% and 26%, respectively. The improvement

is primarily due to replacing high cost subcontractors on certain engagements, more focused management in professional services and implementing a more stable product based on one platform as opposed to several.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Cost of sales increased $1.3 million or 20.9% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Mantas attributes this increase primarily to increased revenue. Gross margin improved due to improved service margins and additional acceptances during the six months of 2005, partially offset by increased amortization of capitalized software as a result of the release of Mantas 4.x in fall 2004. Services margins within financial services for the year-to-date periods were approximately 43% and 26%, respectively. The improvement is primarily due to replacing high cost subcontractors on certain engagements, more focused management in professional services and implementing a more stable product based on one platform as opposed to several.
     Mantas expects cost of sales to continue to increase at a rate similar to revenue in the second half of 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $1.7 million or 37.6% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Mantas attributes this decline to restructuring the product management organization in late 2004 and early 2005, resulting in lower headcount, turnover in sales management in the Americas as well as continued reductions of Mantas’ overall headcount after its merger with SOTAS, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $3.3 million or 37.0% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Mantas attributes this decline primarily to restructuring the product management organization in late 2004 and early 2005, resulting in lower headcount as well as continued reductions of Mantas’ overall headcount after its merger with SOTAS, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2003.
     Mantas expects these costs to remain stable or increase slightly in the second half of 2005.
Research and Development.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Research and development expense in 2005 remains comparable to 2004. Although the decline in this expense was minimal, the actual research and development costs decreased significantly once the $1.6 million of capitalized software development costs in 2004 are taken into account. This decrease in overall cost is due to completion of Mantas 4.x and a substantially lower overall headcount in the research and development organization.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Research and development expense decreased slightly in 2005 as compared to 2004. Mantas attributes this decline to completion of Mantas 4.x and lower headcount in the research and development organization. Although the decline in this expense was minimal, the actual research and development costs decreased significantly once the $3.7 million of capitalized software development costs in 2004 are taken into account.
     Mantas expects these costs to remain stable or increase slightly in the second half of 2005.
Net Los s Before Income Taxes .
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Net loss decreased $4.5 million or 85.2% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Mantas attributes the decline primarily to its higher gross margin as well as its lower selling, general and administrative expenses, slightly offset by higher amortization expense related to capitalized software.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Net loss decreased $6.4 million or 72.5% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Mantas attributes the decline primarily to Mantas’ higher gross margin as well as its lower selling, general and administrative expenses offset by higher amortization expense related to capitalized software.
     Mantas’ net loss is expected to increase in the third quarter but decrease substantially in the fourth quarter based primarily upon expected customer acceptances offset by increased sales, marketing and development costs.

     Pacific Title is a leading provider of a broad range of post-production digital and photo-chemical services to the Hollywood motion picture and television industry. Pacific Title provides a complete array of state-of-the-art digital post-production capabilities both for new releases and restoration of film libraries, leading the transformation from optical, analog image reproduction and processing to more dynamic, cost-effective and flexible digital image processing technologies.
     As of June 30, 2005, we owned a 100% voting interest in Pacific Title.
Revenue.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Total revenue increased $1.3 million or 15.4% to $9.4 million in 2005 as compared to $8.2 million in 2004. Pacific Title attributes the increase in revenue to increases in third party scanning and recording, and their new business line, digital intermediate services. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in large format revenue and other analogue services as customers continue to migrate to digital technologies.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Total revenue increased $1.9 million or 12.9% to $16.8 million in 2005 as compared to $14.9 million in 2004. The increase in revenue is attributable to increases in third party scanning and recording, main title design, and their new business line, digital intermediate services, partially offset by a decrease in analogue services as the business transitions to a digital platform.
     Pacific Title expects that revenue for the second half of 2005 will approximate the first half of 2005, but that the mix of revenue will continue to migrate toward the digital offerings and Pacific Title’s newest offering involving digital archiving.
Cost of Sales .
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Cost of sales increased $0.9 million or 18.1% to $5.6 million in 2005 as compared to $4.7 million in 2004. Approximately half of the increase is attributable to increased labor and benefits and film usage associated with higher revenue and new lines of business. The remaining increase is primarily associated with higher depreciation and maintenance expense related to Pacific Title’s capital expenditures in 2004 and 2005 as it invested in its new digital offerings.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Cost of sales increased $1.1 million or 12.1% to $10.6 million as compared to $9.4 million in 2004. Approximately half of the increase is attributable to increased labor and benefits and film usage associated with higher revenue and new lines of business. The remaining increase is primarily associated with higher depreciation and maintenance expense related to Pacific Title’s capital expenditures in 2004 and 2005 as it invested in its new digital offerings.
Selling, General and Administrative.
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $0.2 million or 9.4% in 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due a decrease in amortization associated with deferred stock units issued in Q2 04.

Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $0.1 million or 2.5% in 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due a decrease in amortization associated with deferred stock units issued in Q2 04.
     Pacific Title expects selling, general and administrative expenses to remain flat for the remainder of 2005.
Net Income Before Income Taxes .
Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Net income increased $1.1 million or 84.6% in 2005 as compared to 2004, was primarily due to increased revenues and gross margins.

Quarter 2005 vs. 2004. Other income (loss), net includes gains on sales of companies and funds of $0.3 million in 2005, which reflects a gain on distribution of stock from a private equity fund. During the second quarter of 2004, we sold our interest in Sanchez for cash and shares of Fidelity National Financial (“FNF”) and reported a gain of $31.7 million, which is included in gain on sale of companies and funds.
Year-to-date 2005 vs. 2004. Other income (loss), net includes gains on sales of companies and funds of $0.3 million in 2005, which reflects a gain on distribution of stock from a private equity fund.

Equity Loss. Equity loss fluctuates with the number of companies and funds accounted for under the equity method, our voting ownership percentage in these companies and funds and the net results of operations of these companies. We recognize our share of losses to the extent we have cost basis in the equity investee or we have outstanding commitments or guarantees. Certain amounts recorded to reflect our share of the income or losses of our companies accounted for under the equity method are based on estimates and on unaudited results of operations of those companies and may require adjustments in the future when audits of these entities are made final.

     During 2005, we restructured our ownership interest in four private equity funds from a general partner to a limited partner interest. As a result of the change, we no longer have the ability to significantly influence the operations of these funds; therefore, effective April 1, 2005, we now account for these funds on the cost method. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, these funds accounted for $2.2 million and $2.7 million of equity loss, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, these funds accounted for $1.4 million of equity loss.

      General and Administrative Costs, Net. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, insurance, professional fees such as legal, accounting and consulting, and travel-related costs. The decrease of $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004 relate to a reduction in employee related costs. General and administrative costs increased $0.1 million for the six month period 2005 as compared to the prior year period mainly due to an increase in professional fees.
     We expect full year selling, general and administrative expenses to be approximately $18 million.
      Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation consists primarily of expense related to grants of restricted stock and deferred stock units to our employees. This expense decreased $0.7 million or 76.3% and $1.0 million or 69.7% for the three and six months of 2005 versus the same period as more restricted stock and deferred stock units vested in 2004. The 2004 period included $0.7 million of expense for vesting of DSUs, with performance criteria, associated with the sale of CompuCom, which became probable in the second quarter of 2004.
      Interest Income. Interest income includes all interest earned on available cash balances as well as any interest income associated with any outstanding notes receivable to us. Interest income increased $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months of 2005 as compared to 2004. This increase is due to increased interest rates in 2005 as compared to 2004 earned on invested cash balances.
      Interest Expense. Interest expense is primarily composed of the interest payments on our $150 million, 2.625% convertible senior debentures with a stated maturity of 2024. Interest expense decreased $1.1 million and $2.9 million for the

Table of Contents

three and six months of 2005 as compared to 2004. This decline is attributable to the retirement of the 2006 Notes through privately negotiated transactions during 2004.
      Impairment —Related Party. In May 2001, we entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Musser, our former CEO. To date, we have impaired the loan by $15.7 million, including $0.3 million during 2005, to the estimated value of the collateral that we held at each respective date. The carrying value of the loan at June 30, 2005 is $1.1 million.
      Other. Included in this category in 2005 is $0.9 million related to the sale of certain property . Included in this category in 2004 are costs associated with the purchases of our 2006 Notes, including $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, due to the acceleration of the amortization relative to deferred issuance costs and $0.5 million and $0.9 million related to the commissions and premiums paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.
Income Taxes
     Our consolidated income tax expense recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $0.2 million, net of a change in the valuation allowance of $2.4 million. Our consolidated income tax benefit recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $11 thousand, net of a change in the valuation allowance of $8.1 million. The tax relates primarily to our share of net state and foreign taxes recorded by subsidiaries. We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized in future years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Parent Company
     We fund our operations with proceeds from sales of and distributions from companies, funds and trading securities. Other sources of liquidity which have been utilized by us in prior periods include sales of available-for-sale securities, sales of our equity and issuance of debt. Our ability to generate liquidity from sales of companies, sales of available-for-sale securities and from equity and debt issuances has been adversely affected from time to time by the decline in the US capital markets and other factors.
     As of June 30, 2005, at the parent company level, we had $91.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, $0.6 million of restricted cash and $59.4 million of marketable securities for a total of $151.2 million. In addition to the amounts above, we have $15.1 million in escrow associated with our interest payments due on the 2024 Debentures through March 2009 and our consolidated subsidiaries had cash and cash equivalents of $10.7 million.
     Proceeds from sales of and distributions from companies and funds were $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.
     Proceeds from sales of and distributions from companies and funds were $33.3 million and $38.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale and trading securities were $10.7 million and $14.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.
     In May 2005, the Company renewed its revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings and issuances of letters of credit and guarantees of up to $55 million. As part of the May 2005 amendment, the revolving credit facility was amended such that the remaining $3.7 million available under the letters of credit is now classified as available under the revolving credit bringing the total to $48.7 million under revolving credit and $6.3 million under letter of credit Borrowing availability under the facility is reduced by the face amount of outstanding letters of credit, guarantees and all other loan facilities between the same lender and our controlled companies. This credit facility matures in May 2006 and bears interest at the prime rate (6.25% at June 30, 2005) for outstanding borrowings. The credit facility is subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.0125%, which is subject to reduction based on deposits maintained at the bank. The facility requires cash collateral equal to one times any amounts outstanding under the facility. This facility provides us additional flexibility to implement our strategy and support our companies.

(a)	 	Our ability to borrow under our credit facility is limited by the total facilities maintained by our subsidiaries at the same bank. Of the total facilities, $23.2 million is outstanding under these facilities at June 30, 2005 and included as debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Of the total subsidiary facilities at the same bank, we guaranteed $33.5 million under our facility at June 30, 2005.	
     On August 1, 2005, the Company amended its credit facility, increasing the facility by $5 million for 180 days to $60 million on the same terms and conditions. In addition, a subsidiary increased their facility by $3 million. Availability under the facility at August 2, 2005 was $6.7 million.
     Additionally, we have committed capital of approximately $22.0 million, all of which are commitments made in prior years to various private equity funds and private companies, to be funded over the next several years, including approximately $11.3 million, which is expected to be funded in the next twelve months. We do not intend to commit new investments in additional private equity funds and may seek to reduce our current ownership interests in, and our existing commitments to the funds in which we hold interests.
     The transactions we enter into in pursuit of our strategy could increase or decrease our liquidity at any point in time. As we seek to acquire companies or provide additional funding to existing companies, we may be required to expend our cash or incur debt, which will decrease our liquidity. Conversely, as we dispose of our interests in companies we may receive proceeds from such sales which could increase our liquidity. From time to time, we are engaged in discussions concerning acquisitions and dispositions which, if consummated, could impact our liquidity, perhaps significantly.
     In May 2001, we entered into a $26.5 million loan agreement with Mr. Musser, our former CEO. To date we have impaired the loan by $15.8 million, including $0.3 million in 2005 to the estimated value of the collateral that we held at each respective date. The carrying value of the loan at June 30, 2005 is $1.1 million. During 2004, we received $7.2 million in cash payments against the loan balance, primarily from proceeds received related to the Sanchez merger and the sale of Mr. Musser’s CompuCom holdings. Since 2001, we have received a total of $13.5 million in cash paydowns on the loan. At June 30, 2005, the outstanding amount due under the loan was $22.4 million. We continue to use reasonable commercial efforts to collect from Mr. Musser the outstanding loan obligation. These efforts have included and may, in the future, include, the sale of existing collateral, obtaining and selling additional collateral, litigation, a negotiated resolution or other methods or remedies available to us.
     We have received distributions as both a general partner and a limited partner from certain private equity funds. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to return a portion or all the distributions we received as a general partner to the fund for further distribution to the fund’s limited partners (the “clawback”). Assuming the funds are liquidated or dissolved on June 30, 2005 and, assuming for these purposes the only distributions from the funds are equal to the carrying value of the funds on the June 30, 2005 financial statements, the maximum clawback we would be required to return is $7 million. Management estimates its liability to be approximately $4 million, which is reflected in “Other Long-Term Liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
     Our previous ownership in the general partners of the funds which have potential clawback liabilities range from 19-30%. The clawback liability is joint and several, such that we may be required to fund the clawback for other general partners should they default. The funds have taken several steps to reduce the potential liabilities should other general partners default, including withholding all general partner distributions and placing them in escrow and adding rights of set-off among certain funds. We believe our liability under the default of other general partners is remote.
     We have outstanding $150 million of 2.625% convertible senior debentures with a stated maturity of March 15, 2024. Interest on the 2024 Debentures is payable semi-annually. At the note holders’ option, the notes are convertible into our common stock before the close of business on March 14, 2024 subject to certain conditions. The conversion rate of the notes
40

Table of Contents

at June 30, 2005 was $7.2174 of principal amount per share. The closing price of our common stock on June 30, 2005 was $1.28. The note holders may require repurchase of the notes on March 21, 2011, March 20, 2014 or March 20, 2019 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their respective amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The note holders may also require repurchase of the notes upon certain events, including sale of all or substantially all of our common stock or assets, liquidation, dissolution or a change in control. Subject to certain conditions, we may redeem all or some of the 2024 Debentures commencing March 20, 2009.
     For reasons we have discussed, we believe our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2005 and other internal sources of cash flow are expected to be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the next twelve months, including commitments to our existing companies and funds, our current operating plan to acquire interests in new companies, possible additional investment in existing companies and our general corporate requirements.
Consolidated Subsidiaries
     Alliance, Clarient, Laureate Pharma and Mantas incurred losses in 2004 and the first half of 2005 and may need additional capital to fund their operations. From time to time, some or all of our consolidated subsidiaries may require additional debt or equity financing or credit support from us to fund planned expansion activities. If we decide not to provide sufficient capital resources to allow them to reach a positive cash flow position and they are unable to raise capital from outside resources, they may need to scale back their operations.
     Consolidated subsidiaries have outstanding facilities that provide for aggregate borrowings of up to $44.0 million. These facilities contain financial and non financial covenants and expire at various points in the first quarter of 2006.
     As of June 30, 2005, outstanding borrowings under these facilities were $23.2 million.

Cash Used In Operating Activities
     Cash used in operating activities decreased $0.4 million in 2005 as compared to 2004. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in interest expense as a result of the retirement of the 2006 Notes.
Cash (Used In) Provided by Investing Activities
     Cash used in investing activities in 2005 primarily reflects a net increase of $25.6 million in short-term investments, including commercial paper and certificates of deposit, as the company invested in longer maturity securities to take advantage of higher interest rates.
     Cash provided by investing activities in 2004 includes $32.1 million in cash proceeds related to our sale of Sanchez and proceeds from sales of available-for-sale and trading securities of $14.8 million. Partially offsetting these amounts in 2004 was a $12.5 million investment in Clarient. Also included in 2004, is $5.0 million repayment of an advance to a related party.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities
     Cash provided by financing activities decreased $0.3 million in 2005 as compared to 2004. The activity in 2004 relates to the sale of $150 million of 2.625% convertible senior debentures that was completed in February 2004 net of related offering costs, partially offset by the repurchase of $145.2 million of face value of the 2006 Notes.
Consolidated Working Capital
     Consolidated working capital decreased to $144 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $170 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in cash related to the Company’s operating loss.

Assuming the funds are liquidated or dissolved on June 30, 2005 and the only value provided by the funds is the carrying values represented on the June 30, 2005 financial statements, the maximum clawback we would be required to return is $7 million. Management estimates its liability to be approximately $4 million. This amount is reflected in “Other Long-Term Liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
     Forward-looking statements in this report and those made from time to time by us through our senior management team are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in forward-looking statements are described in our SEC filings. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
Risks Related to Our Business
Our business depends upon the performance of our companies, which is uncertain.
     If our companies do not succeed, the value of our assets could be significantly reduced and require substantial impairments or write-offs, and our results of operations and the price of our common stock could decline. The risks relating to our companies include:

 	•	 	many of our companies have a history of operating losses or a limited operating history and may never be profitable;	
 		
 	•	 	intensifying competition affecting the products and services our companies offer could adversely affect their businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth;	
 		
 	•	 	inability to adapt to the rapidly changing marketplaces;	
 		
 	•	 	inability to manage growth;	
 		
 	•	 	the need for additional capital to fund their existing operations, which we may not be able to fund or which may not be available from third parties on acceptable terms, if at all;	
 		
 	•	 	inability to protect their proprietary rights and infringing on the proprietary rights of others;	
 		
 	•	 	certain of our companies could face legal liabilities from claims made against their operations, products or work;	
 		
 	•	 	the impact of economic downturns on their operations, results and growth prospects;	
 		
 	•	 	inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and	
 		
 	•	 	government regulations and legal uncertainties may place financial burdens on the businesses of our companies.	
 		
 	 	 	These risks are discussed in greater detail under the caption “— Risks Related to Our Companies” below.	
The identity of our companies and the nature of our interests in them could vary widely from period to period.
     As part of our strategy, we continually assess the value to our shareholders of our interests in our companies. We also regularly evaluate alternate uses for our capital resources. As a result, depending on market conditions, growth prospects and other key factors, we may, at any time, change the companies in which we strategically focus, liquidate our interests in any of our companies or otherwise change the nature of our interests in our companies. Therefore, the identity of our companies and the nature of our interests in them could vary significantly from period to period.

     Our consolidated financial results may also vary significantly based upon the companies that are included in our financial statements. For example:

 	•	 	At June 30, 2004, we consolidated the results of operations of the following companies: CompuCom Systems, Inc., Alliance Consulting Group Associates, Inc., Pacific Title and Arts Studio, Inc., Mantas, Inc. and Clarient, Inc. (formerly known as ChromaVision Medical Systems, Inc.).	
 		
 	•	 	In October 2004, CompuCom completed a merger transaction which resulted in the divestiture of our interest in CompuCom. As a result, commencing as of and for the period ending September 30, 2004, we accounted for CompuCom as a discontinued operation and all prior periods were reclassified to conform to this presentation.	
 		
 	•	 	In December 2004, we completed the purchase of assets from Laureate Pharma, L.P., and we have consolidated the results of operations of the acquired business from the date of the transaction.	
Our companies currently do not provide us with any cash flow from their operations so we rely on cash on hand, liquidity events and our ability to generate cash from capital raising activities to finance our operations.
     We need capital to invest in new companies, to make additional investments in, or advances to, our existing companies and private equity funds, and to finance our corporate overhead. We also need cash to service and repay our outstanding debt. As a result, we have substantial cash requirements. Our companies currently do not provide us with any cash flow from their operations. To the extent our companies generate any cash from operations, they generally retain the funds to develop their own businesses. As a result, we must rely on cash on hand, liquidity events and new capital raising activities to meet our cash needs. If we are unable to find ways of monetizing our investments or raising additional capital on attractive terms, we may face liquidity issues that will require us to curtail our new business efforts, constrain our ability to execute our business strategy and limit our ability to provide financial support to our existing companies.
Fluctuations in the price of the common stock of our publicly traded companies may affect the price of our common stock.
     The aggregate market value of our interests in our publicly traded companies Clarient, Inc (NASDAQ:CLRT) and eMerge Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ:EMRG)) was approximately $55.3 million as of June 30, 2005. Fluctuations in the market price of the common stock of our publicly traded companies are likely to affect the price of our common stock. The market price of our public companies’ common stock has been highly volatile.
Intense competition from other acquirers of interests in companies could result in lower gains or possibly losses on our companies.
     We face intense competition from companies with business strategies similar to our own, from other capital providers and from strategic acquirers as we seek acquire and develop interests in companies. Some of our competitors have more experience identifying and acquiring companies and have greater financial and management resources, better name recognition or more industry contacts than we have. Although most of our acquisitions will be made at a stage when our companies are not publicly traded, we may pay higher prices for those equity interests because of higher trading prices for securities of similar public companies and competition from other acquirers and capital providers, which could result in lower gains or possibly losses on our investments. In addition, our strategy of actively operating our companies generally requires us to acquire majority or controlling interests in companies. This may place us at a competitive disadvantage to some of our competitors because they may have more flexibility than we do in structuring acquisitions.
We may be unable to obtain maximum value for our holdings in companies or liquidate our interests in companies on a timely basis.
     We hold significant positions in most of our companies. Consequently, if we were to divest all or part of our interest in a company, we may have to sell our interests at a relative discount to a price which may be received by a seller of a smaller portion. For companies with publicly traded stock, we may be unable to sell our interests at market prices. The trading volume and public float in the common stock of our publicly-traded companies are small relative to our holdings in the companies. As a result, any significant divestiture of our holdings in these companies would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of the companies’ common stock and on our proceeds from such a divestiture. Additionally, we may not be able to take our companies public as a means of monetizing our position or creating shareholder value.
45

Table of Contents

     The absolute size of our holdings in our companies may also affect our ability to sell our interest in companies on a timely basis. Registration and other requirements under applicable securities laws, as well as our need to comply with the Investment Company Act, may adversely affect our ability to dispose of our interest in companies on a timely basis.
Our success is dependent on our executive management.
     Our success is dependent on our executive management team’s ability to execute our strategy. A loss of one or more of the members of our executive management team without adequate replacement could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our business strategy may not be successful if valuations in the market sectors in which our companies participate decline.
     Our strategy involves creating value for our shareholders by helping our companies grow and, if appropriate, accessing the public and private capital markets. Therefore, our success is dependent on the value of our companies as determined by the public and private capital markets for expansion capital and liquidity opportunities. Many factors, including reduced market interest, may cause the market value of our publicly traded companies to decline. If valuations in the market sectors in which our companies participate decline, our companies’ access to the public and private capital markets on terms acceptable to them may be limited.
Our companies could make business decisions that are not in our best interests or with which we do not agree, which could impair the value of our company interests.
     Although we generally seek a controlling equity interest and participation in the management of our companies, we may not be able to control the significant business decisions of our companies. We may have shared control or no control over some of our companies. In addition, although we currently own a controlling interest in some of our companies, we may not maintain this controlling interest. Acquisitions of interests in companies in which we share or have no control, or the dilution of our interests in, and loss of control over, companies will involve additional risks that could cause the performance of our interests and our operating results to suffer, including:

 	•	 	the management of a company having economic or business interests or objectives that are different than ours; and	
 		
 	•	 	companies not taking our advice with respect to the financial or operating difficulties they may encounter.	
     Our inability to adequately control our companies also could prevent us from assisting them, financially or otherwise, or could prevent us from liquidating our interests in them at a time or at a price that is favorable to us. Additionally, our companies may not collaborate with each other or act in ways that are consistent with our business strategy. These factors could hamper our ability to maximize returns on our interests and cause us to recognize losses on our interests in these companies.
We may have to buy, sell or retain assets when we would otherwise not wish to do so in order to avoid registration under the Investment Company Act.
     The Investment Company Act of 1940 regulates companies which are engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities. Under the Investment Company Act, a company may be deemed to be an investment company if it owns investment securities with a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (excluding government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, unless an exemption or safe harbor applies. We refer to this test as the “40% Test.” Securities issued by companies other than majority-owned subsidiaries are generally considered “investment securities” for purpose of the Investment Company Act. We are an operating company that conducts its business operations principally through majority-owned subsidiaries and are not engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. We are also in compliance with the 40% Test. Consequently, we do not believe that we are an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
     We monitor our compliance with the 40% Test and seek to conduct our business activities to comply with this test. It is not feasible for us to be regulated as an investment company because the Investment Company Act rules are inconsistent with our strategy of actively managing, operating and promoting collaboration by and among our companies. In order to continue to comply with the 40% Test, we may need to take various actions which we would otherwise not pursue. For example, we may need to retain a majority interest in a company that we no longer consider strategic, we may not be able to
46

Table of Contents

acquire an interest in a company unless we are able to obtain majority ownership interest in the company, or we may be limited in the manner or timing in which we sell our interests in a company. Our ownership levels may also be affected if our companies are acquired by third parties or if our companies issue stock which dilutes our majority ownership. The actions we may need to take to address these issues while maintaining compliance with the 40% Test could adversely affect our ability to create and realize value at our companies.
Several lawsuits have been brought or threatened against us and our companies and the outcomes of these lawsuits are uncertain.
     We and Warren V. Musser, our former Chairman, were named as defendants in a putative class action filed on June 26, 2001 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the “District Court”). Plaintiffs allege that defendants failed to disclose that Mr. Musser had pledged some or all of his Safeguard stock as collateral to secure margin trading in his personal brokerage accounts. Plaintiffs allege that defendants’ failure to disclose the pledge, along with their failure to disclose several margin calls, a loan to Mr. Musser, the guarantee of certain margin debt and the consequences thereof on our stock price, violated the federal securities laws. Plaintiffs allege claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On August 17, 2001, a second putative class action was filed against us and Mr. Musser asserting claims similar to those brought in the first proceeding. In addition, plaintiffs in the second case allege that the defendants failed to disclose possible or actual manipulative aftermarket trading in the securities of our companies, the impact of competition on prospects for one or more of our companies and our lack of a superior business plan. On October 23, 2001, the District Court entered an order consolidating the two cases and, on April 5, 2002, plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended class action complaint for violation of the federal securities laws. These two cases were consolidated for further proceedings under the name “In Re: Safeguard Scientifics Securities Litigation” and the District Court approved the designation of a lead plaintiff and the retention of lead plaintiffs’ counsel. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended complaint. On May 23, 2002, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated and amended complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. On October 24, 2002, the District Court denied the defendants’ motions to dismiss, holding that, based on the allegations of plaintiffs’ consolidated and amended complaint, dismissal would be inappropriate at that juncture. On December 20, 2002, plaintiffs filed with the District Court a motion for class certification. On August 27, 2003, the District Court denied plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. On September 12, 2003, plaintiffs filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit a petition for permission to appeal the order denying class certification. On November 5, 2003, the Third Circuit denied plaintiffs’ petition and declined to hear the appeal. On November 18, 2003, plaintiffs’ counsel moved to intervene new plaintiffs and proposed class representatives in the consolidated action, which motion was denied by the District Court on February 18, 2004. On July 12, 2004, a third putative class action complaint captioned Mandell v. Safeguard Scientifics, Inc., et al. was filed against us and Mr. Musser in the District Court. The new complaint asserts similar claims to those asserted in the consolidated and amended class action complaint. The complaint also asserts individual claims on behalf of two individual plaintiffs who had attempted unsuccessfully to intervene in the consolidated action. We have not yet responded to the new complaint. On August 10, 2004, the District Court entered an order staying all proceedings in the Mandell action pending the District Court’s ruling on defendants’ summary judgment motion in the consolidated action, or until such later time as the District Court may order. On November 23, 2004, the District Court entered an order granting defendants’ motion for summary judgment. On December 17, 2004, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal, seeking to appeal the District Court’s orders granting summary judgment to defendants, denying class certification and denying the motion to intervene new plaintiffs, among other matters. The Thrid Circuit has not yet taken any action on the appeal. The District Court has not taken any further action with respect to the Mandell action.
     On May 28, 2004, June 1, 2004 and June 10, 2004, three substantially similar complaints were filed in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware by purported stockholders of CompuCom Systems, Inc. (“CompuCom”) allegedly on behalf of a class of holders of CompuCom’s common stock. By order dated July 22, 2004, these three actions were consolidated for all purposes. On July 27, 2004, plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint under the caption of one of the three actions (the “Amended Complaint”) that names us, CompuCom and its directors as defendants. The Amended Complaint alleges that CompuCom, its directors, and we breached fiduciary duties in connection with the merger agreement relating to the acquisition of CompuCom by an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC and aided and abetted one another in the course of committing the alleged breach. Among other things, the Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants failed to obtain the best transaction reasonably available and diverted merger consideration from CompuCom’s minority stockholders to us and CompuCom’s directors and certain of its officers. It is also alleged that CompuCom failed to disclose, or only partially disclosed, certain matters in CompuCom’s proxy statement. The Amended Complaint seeks (i) an injunction against the proposed transaction, (ii) an order invalidating the proposed transaction in the event it is consummated, (iii) an order directing
47

Table of Contents

CompuCom’s directors to obtain a transaction that is in the best interests of all of its stockholders and to disclose all material information to stockholders in connection with any transaction, and (iv) the imposition of a constructive trust, in favor of plaintiffs, upon any benefits improperly received by defendants. On July 27, 2004, plaintiffs filed a motion for expedited proceedings and discovery in connection with the injunctive relief sought and requested that a preliminary injunction hearing be held before August 19, 2004, the originally scheduled date of the special meetings of our shareholders and the stockholders of CompuCom. Defendants filed their opposition to the motion on July 28, 2004. On July 29, 2004, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion to expedite. On September 13, 2004, plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint alleging substantially similar claims. On November 5, 2004, defendants filed motions to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint.
     Finally, we, as well as our companies, are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. While in the current opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these lawsuits, and one or more adverse rulings could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations, or that of our companies.
Future changes in financial accounting standards are likely to impact our future financial position and results of operations
     Proposed initiatives could result in changes in accounting rules, which could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted accounting principles, and adversely affect our operating results. Specifically, the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” requires us to recognize the fair value of certain equity instruments as an expense in the reported financial statements as services are performed, rather than footnote only disclosure as currently required. The adoption of this new accounting pronouncement is expected to have a material impact on our financial statements commencing with the three months ending March 31, 2006.
Risks Related to Our Companies
Many of our companies have a history of operating losses or limited operating history and may never be profitable.
     Many of our companies have a history of operating losses or limited operating history, have significant historical losses and may never be profitable. Many of these companies have incurred substantial costs to develop and market their products, have incurred net losses and cannot fund their cash needs from operations. We expect that the operating expenses of certain of our companies will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as they continue to develop products and services, increase sales and marketing efforts and expand operations.
Our companies face intense competition, which could adversely affect their business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth.
     There is intense competition in the information technology and life sciences marketplaces, and we expect competition to intensify in the future. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth will be materially adversely affected if our companies are not able to compete successfully. Many of the present and potential competitors may have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than those of our companies. This may place our companies at a disadvantage in responding to the offerings of their competitors, technological changes or changes in client requirements. Also, our companies may be at a competitive disadvantage because many of their competitors have greater name recognition, more extensive client bases and a broader range of product offerings. In addition, our companies may compete against companies within our network of companies.
Our companies may fail if they do not adapt to the rapidly changing information technology and life sciences marketplaces.
     If our companies fail to adapt to rapid changes in technology and customer and supplier demands, they may not become or remain profitable. There is no assurance that the products and services of our companies will achieve or maintain market penetration or commercial success, or that the businesses of our companies will be successful.
     The information technology and life sciences marketplaces are characterized by:
48

Table of Contents

 	•	 	rapidly changing technologies;	
 		
 	•	 	evolving industry standards;	
 		
 	•	 	frequent new products and services;	
 		
 	•	 	shifting distribution channels;	
 		
 	•	 	evolving government regulations;	
 		
 	•	 	changing intellectual property landscapes; and	
 		
 	•	 	changing customer demands.	
     Our future success will depend on our companies’ ability to adapt to this rapidly evolving marketplace. They may not be able to adequately or economically adapt their products and services, develop new products and services or establish and maintain effective distribution channels for their products and services. If our companies are unable to offer competitive products and services or maintain effective distribution channels, they may sell fewer products and services and forego potential revenue, possibly causing them to lose money. In addition, we and our companies may not be able to respond to the rapid technological changes in an economically efficient manner, and our companies may, as a result, become or remain unprofitable.
Many of our companies may grow rapidly and may be unable to manage their growth.
     We expect some of our companies to grow rapidly. Rapid growth often places considerable operational, managerial and financial strain on a business. To successfully manage rapid growth, our companies must, among other things:

 	•	 	rapidly improve, upgrade and expand their business infrastructures;	
 		
 	•	 	scale-up production operations;	
 		
 	•	 	develop appropriate financial reporting controls;	
 		
 	•	 	attract and maintain qualified personnel; and	
 		
 	•	 	maintain appropriate levels of liquidity.	
     If our companies are unable to manage their growth successfully, their ability to respond effectively to competition and to achieve or maintain profitability will be adversely affected.
Our companies may need to raise additional capital to fund their operations, which we may not be able to fund or which may not be available from third parties on acceptable terms, if at all.
     Our companies may need to raise additional funds in the future and we cannot be certain that they will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Because our resources and our ability to raise capital are limited, we may not be able to provide our companies with sufficient capital resources to enable them to reach a cash flow positive position. If our companies need to, but are not able to raise capital from other outside sources, then they may need to cease or scale back operations.
Some of our companies may be unable to protect their proprietary rights and may infringe on the proprietary rights of others.
     Our companies rely on various forms of intellectual property protection. Intellectual property constitutes an important part of our companies’ assets and competitive strengths. Federal law, most typically, copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret, generally protects intellectual property rights. Although we expect that our companies will take reasonable efforts to
49

Table of Contents

protect their intellectual property rights, the complexity of international trade secret, copyright, trademark and patent law, coupled with the limited resources of these companies and the demands of quick delivery of products and services to market, create a risk that their efforts will prove inadequate to prevent misappropriation of our companies’ technologies, or that third parties may independently develop similar technologies.
     Some of our companies also license intellectual property from third parties and it is possible that they could become subject to infringement actions based upon their use of the intellectual property licensed from those third parties. Our companies generally obtain warranties as to the origin and ownership of such licensed intellectual property; however, this protection may not be adequate. Any claims against our companies’ proprietary rights, with or without merit, could subject our companies to costly litigation and the diversion of their technical and management personnel from other business concerns. If our companies become involved in costly litigation and their personnel substantially distracted, the expenses and losses incurred by our companies will increase and their profits, if any, will decrease.
     Third parties may assert infringement or other intellectual property claims against our companies based on their patents or other intellectual property claims. We believe none of our companies’ products services infringe any third party’s patents. If our companies were to lose or settle infringement claims, our companies may have to pay substantial settlements damages, possibly including treble damages. Also, they may have to obtain a license to sell their products if it is determined that their products infringe another party’s intellectual property. Our companies might be prohibited from selling their products before they obtain a license, which, if available at all, may require them to pay substantial royalties. Even if infringement claims against our companies are without merit, defending these lawsuits takes significant time, and money, and could divert management attention from other business concerns.
Certain of our companies could face legal liabilities from claims made against their operations, products or work.
     The manufacture and sale of certain of our companies’ products entails an inherent risk of product liability. Certain of our companies maintain product liability insurance. Although none of our companies to date have experienced any material losses, there can be no assurance that they will be able to maintain or acquire adequate product liability insurance in the future. Any product liability claim could have a material adverse effect on our companies’ revenues and income. In addition, many of our companies’ engagements involve projects that are critical to the operation of their clients’ businesses. Any failure by our companies to meet their contractual obligations could adversely affect their business, operating results and financial condition. The provisions our companies typically include in their contracts, are designed to limit their exposure to legal claims relating to their products and services but may not protect our companies or may not be enforceable. Also as consultants, some of our companies depend on their client relationships and their reputation for high quality services and integrity to retain and attract clients. As a result, claims made against our companies’ work which damage their reputation could impact their ability to compete for new work and negatively impact their revenues and profitability.
Our companies are subject to the impact of economic downturns.
     The results of operations of our companies are affected by the level of business activity of their clients, which in turn is affected by the levels of economic activity in the industries and markets that they serve. In addition, the businesses of certain of our Information Technology companies may lag behind economic cycles in an industry. Any significant downturn in the economic environment, which could include labor disputes in these industries, could result in reduced demand for the products and services offered by our companies which could negatively impact their revenues and profitability. In addition, an economic downturn could cause increased pricing pressure which also could have a material adverse impact on the revenues and profitability of our companies.
Our companies’ success depends on their ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
     Our companies are dependent upon their ability to attract and retain senior management and key personnel, including trained technical and marketing personnel. Our companies will also need to continue to hire additional personnel as they expand. Some of our companies have employees represented by labor unions. Although these companies have not been the subject of a work stoppage, any future work stoppage could have a material adverse effect on their respective operations. A shortage in the availability of the requisite qualified personnel or work stoppage would limit the ability of our companies to grow, to increase sales of their existing products and services and to launch new products and services.
Government regulations and legal uncertainties may place financial burdens on the businesses of our companies.

     Failure to comply with applicable requirements of the FDA or comparable regulation in foreign countries can result in fines, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, withdrawal of existing product approvals or clearances, refusal to approve or clear new applications or notices and criminal prosecution. Manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and medical diagnostic devices and operators of laboratory facilities are subject to strict federal and state regulation regarding validation and the quality of manufacturing and laboratory facilities. Failure to comply with these quality regulation systems requirements could result in civil or criminal penalties or enforcement proceedings, including the recall of a product or a “cease distribution” order. The enactment of any additional laws or regulations that affect healthcare insurance policy and reimbursement (including Medicare reimbursement) could negatively affect our companies. If Medicare or private payors change the rates at which our companies or their customers are reimbursed by insurance providers for their products and services, such changes could adversely impact our companies.
     If either the USA PATRIOT Act or the Basel Capital Accord are repealed, the demand for services and/or products of certain of our companies may be negatively impacted.
Some of our companies are subject to significant environmental, health and safety regulation.
     Some of our companies are subject to licensing and regulation under federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety, including laws and regulations relating to the handling, transportation and disposal of medical specimens, infectious and hazardous waste and radioactive materials as well as to the safety and health of manufacturing and laboratory employees. In addition, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established extensive requirements relating to workplace safety.
Some of our companies rely on the continued availability of their operating facilities.
     Clarient’s laboratory services facility and Laureate Pharma’s manufacturing facilities are operated under and subject to various federal, state and local permits, rules and regulations. As a result, any extended interruption in the availability of these facilities could have material adverse effect on the results of operations of the respective companies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     We are exposed to equity price risks on the marketable portion of our securities. These securities include equity positions in companies in the technology industry, many of which have experienced significant volatility in their stock prices. Historically, we have not attempted to reduce or eliminate our market exposure on securities (except for the Tellabs forward sale contracts that were settled in 2002). Based on closing market prices at June 30, 2005, the fair market value of our holdings in public securities was approximately $55 million. A 20% decrease in equity prices would result in an approximate $11 million decrease in the fair value of our publicly traded securities. At June 30, 2005, the value of the collateral securing the Musser loan included $0.4 million of publicly traded securities. A 20% decrease in the fair value of these securities would result in a charge of approximately $0.1 million.
     In February 2004, we completed the issuance of $150 million of fixed rate notes with a stated maturity of March 2024. Interest payments of approximately $2.0 million are due March and September of each year starting in September 2004. The holders of the 2024 Debentures may require repurchase of the notes on March 21, 2011, March 20, 2014 or March 20, 2019 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their respective amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. On October 8, 2004, we utilized approximately $16.7 million of the proceeds from the CompuCom sale to escrow interest payments due through March 15, 2009.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
     No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.5
THIRD AMENDMENT
TO
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
     This Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement is entered into as of June 20, 2005 (the “Amendment”), by and between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and LAUREATE PHARMA, INC. (“Borrower”).
RECITALS
     Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 1, 2004, as amended, including without limitation by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January 31, 2005 and that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 6, 2005 (collectively, the “Agreement”). The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
     1. Section 4 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     “4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST .
          4.1 Grant of Security Interest . Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in later-acquired Collateral. Notwithstanding any termination, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.
          4.2 Perfection of Security Interest . Borrower authorizes Bank to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Borrower, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be signed by Bank on behalf of Borrower, as provided in the Code, and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Borrower shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfected Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Bank chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, Borrower shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests for Bank to (i) obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Bank, (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower will not create any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Borrower from

time to time may deposit with Bank specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding.
          4.3 Right to Inspect . Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than twice a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.”
     2.  Exhibit A to the Agreement is hereby replaced with the attached Exhibit A .
     3. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof. Borrower ratifies and reaffirms the continuing effectiveness of all promissory notes, guaranties, security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, environmental agreements, and all other instruments, documents and agreements entered into in connection with the Agreement.
     4. Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

     (a) all accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (including tangible and electronic chattel paper), deposit accounts, documents (including negotiable documents), equipment (including all accessions and additions thereto), general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software), goods (including fixtures), instruments (including promissory notes), inventory (including all goods held for sale or lease or to be furnished under a contract of service, and including returns and repossessions), investment property (including securities and securities entitlements), letter of credit rights, money, and all of Debtor’s books and records with respect to any of the foregoing, and the computers and equipment containing said books and records;
     (b) all common law and statutory copyrights and copyright registrations, applications for registration, now existing or hereafter arising, in the United States of America or in any foreign jurisdiction, obtained or to be obtained on or in connection with any of the forgoing, or any parts thereof or any underlying or component elements of any of the forgoing, together with the right to copyright and all rights to renew or extend such copyrights and the right (but not the obligation) of Secured Party to sue in its own name and/or in the name of the Debtor for past, present and future infringements of copyright;
     (c) all trademarks, service marks, trade names and service names and the goodwill associated therewith, together with the right to trademark and all rights to renew or extend such trademarks and the right (but not the obligation) of Secured Party to sue in its own name and/or in the name of the Debtor for past, present and future infringements of trademark;
     (d) all (i) patents and patent applications filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any similar office of any foreign jurisdiction, and interests under patent license agreements, including, without limitation, the inventions and improvements described and claimed therein, (ii) licenses pertaining to any patent whether Debtor is licensor or licensee, (iii) income, royalties, damages, payments, accounts and accounts receivable now or hereafter due and/or payable under and with respect thereto, including, without limitation, damages and payments for past, present or future infringements thereof, (iv) right (but not the obligation) to sue in the name of Debtor and/or in the name of Secured Party for past, present and future infringements thereof, (v) rights corresponding thereto throughout the world in all jurisdictions in which such patents have been issued or applied for, and (vi) reissues, divisions, continuations, renewals, extensions and continuations-in-part with respect to any of the foregoing; and

Exhibit 10.6
AFFIRMATION AND AMENDMENT OF GUARANTY
     This AFFIRMATION AND AMENDMENT OF GUARANTY is entered into as of June 20, 2005, by and among SAFEGUARD DELAWARE, INC. (“SDI”), SAFEGUARD SCIENTIFICS (DELAWARE), INC. (“SSI”; collectively with SDI, “Guarantors”; each, a “Guarantor”) and COMERICA BANK (“Bank”).
RECITALS
     Bank and LAUREATE PHARMA, INC. (“Borrower”) are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 1, 2004, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January 31, 2005 and that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 6, 2005 (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”). Guarantors executed for the benefit of Bank an Unconditional Guaranty dated as of December 1, 2004, and affirmed on May 6, 2005 (the “Guaranty”), guarantying amounts owing by Borrower to Bank. Borrower and Bank propose to enter into a Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Amendment”), which amends the Loan Agreement by, among other things, reinstating the Bank’s first priority security interest in the Collateral. Bank has agreed to enter into the Amendment provided, among other things, that each Guarantor consents to the Amendment and agrees that the Guaranty will remain effective. In addition, the parties desire to amend the Guaranty in accordance with the terms of this Amendment and Affirmation.
AGREEMENT
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agrees as follows:
     1. The reference to “$10,000,000” in the first paragraph of the Guaranty is hereby amended to read “$9,500,000”.
     2. Each Guarantor consents to the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Amendment and the documents and instruments executed in connection therewith. The Guaranty is and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to Borrower’s Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) as modified by the Amendment and otherwise. Each Guarantor confirms that such Guarantor has no defenses against its obligations under the Guaranty.
     3. The Guaranty, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment and Affirmation and shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Guaranty, as in effect prior to the date hereof. Each Guarantor ratifies and reaffirms the continuing effectiveness of all instruments, documents and agreements entered into in connection with the Guaranty.
     4. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Guaranty are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment and Affirmation. Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms in this Amendment and Affirmation shall be as defined in the Guaranty. This Amendment and Affirmation may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
     5. It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment and Affirmation that Borrower shall have repaid in full all Equipment Advances under the Loan Agreement.

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Affirmation and Amendment of Guaranty as of the first date above written.
