(*) Revenues in the Clinical Genomics division represent transactions subsequent to the Agena Acquisition on October 20, 2021.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations are as follows:

Our Sterilization and Disinfection Control division manufactures and sells biological, cleaning, and chemical indicators which are used to assess the effectiveness of sterilization and disinfection processes in the hospital, medical device, and pharmaceutical industries. The division also provides testing and laboratory services, mainly to the dental industry. Sterilization and disinfection control products are disposable and are used on a routine basis.

Our Biopharmaceutical Development division develops, manufactures, and sells automated systems for protein analysis (immunoassays) and peptide synthesis solutions. Immunoassays and peptide synthesis solutions accelerate the discovery, development, and manufacturing of biotherapeutic drugs.

The Calibration Solutions division's gross profit percentage decreased one percentage point during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Costs in this division increased somewhat from the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by a favorable product mix.

Operating expenses increased 88% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of the Agena Acquisition and as our overall business grew.

Selling expense is driven primarily by labor costs, including salaries and commissions; accordingly, it may vary with sales levels.

General and administrative expenses increased 77% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Agena, including $2,490 of amortization of intangibles associated with intangibles acquired in the Agena Acquisition. Excluding the impact of Agena, general and administrative expenses increased 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Research and development expense is predominantly comprised of labor costs and costs of third-party consultants.

As of June 30, 2022, $172,500 in aggregate principal Notes was outstanding and $47,000 was outstanding under the Credit Facility. In July 2022, we repaid $12,000 of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility.
