As described in additional detail in the Explanatory Note to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, or the 2016 Form 10-K, we had incorrectly recorded certain revenue transactions at our subsidiary in South Korea, Standard Diagnostics, Inc., or SD. Specifically, we failed to correctly apply U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, regarding the timing of revenue recognition primarily related to transactions in which we recognized revenue prior to full satisfaction of all contractual criteria for title and risk of loss passing to the customer as required by U.S. GAAP. The principal cause of these misstatements in the timing of revenue recognition was inappropriate conduct at our SD subsidiary. These misstatements were primarily the result of conduct and practices initiated by a former employee in the sales organization. The inappropriate conduct and practices involved, among other things, misrepresentation and/or fabrication of documents used to validate revenue recognition that were intentionally concealed from our senior leadership team and our external auditors at the time of the transactions and during the global revenue recognition assessment conducted as part of the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Further, other SD employees (in some cases subordinates of the initiating employee and local finance management responsible for other controls at SD) were involved in the inappropriate conduct or acted to conceal it.
These misstatements resulted in management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Alere Inc. concluding on April 12, 2017 that our previously issued financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and for each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2015 and the first three quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2016 should not be relied upon. In addition, in the 2016 Form 10-K, we restated our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and we also restated certain unaudited financial information for each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2015 and the first three quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2016, or the Restatement. We further included certain restated financial information as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 in Item 6. Selected Consolidated Financial Data in our 2016 Form 10-K.
As a result of the review that led to the Restatement, we did not timely file the 2016 Form 10-K (which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 2017) or the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2017 (which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14, 2017). As noted above, in connection with the Restatement, we restated certain financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, and the restated results for such periods are reflected in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited), Note 2 to such financial statements Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements and Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation of Financial Information
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Alere Inc. are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments considered normal and recurring and necessary for their fair statement. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included information and footnotes necessary for such presentation and were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on June 5, 2017. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Our operating segments are currently (i) professional diagnostics; (ii) consumer diagnostics; and (iii) other non-reportable. In January 2015, we sold our condition management, case management, wellbeing, wellness, and womens and childrens health businesses, which we refer to collectively as our health management business. As a result of the sale of our health management business, which was the largest component of our former patient self-testing reporting segment, as well as certain other transactions in 2015, the only component of the patient self-testing reporting segment that was retained by Alere was the Alere Home Monitoring business. Therefore, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we reported our financial information in two reportable operating segments: (i) professional diagnostics and (ii) consumer diagnostics, and Alere Home Monitoring was reported as a component of the professional diagnostics segment. Due to the nature of the operations of Alere Home Monitoring and the manner in which this business is conducted, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are reporting our Alere Home Monitoring business as a separate segment under the heading other non-reportable segment. Alere Home Monitoring distributes PT/INR coagulation monitors and facilitates the distribution of equipment and supplies to power and control customers implanted ventricular assist devices, or VADs, as well as telemonitoring services that allows VAD coordinators to monitor patients soon after discharge and receive alerts when critical patient values fall outside pre-established ranges. The information presented herein for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the foregoing changes in the segment presentation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alere Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. Equity investments in which we exercise significant influence but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method.
Certain amounts presented may not recalculate directly, due to rounding.
(2) Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
On April 12, 2017, management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors concluded that our financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and for each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2015 and the first three quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2016 should not be relied on.
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, we restated the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and also restated certain unaudited condensed financial information for each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2015 and the first three quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2016, which we refer to herein as the Restatement. As a result, the financial statements and information as presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 have been restated.
The Restatement was the result of the failure to correctly apply U.S. GAAP regarding the timing of revenue recognition primarily related to transactions in which we recognized revenue prior to full satisfaction of all contractual criteria for title and risk of loss passing to the customer as required by U.S. GAAP. The principal cause of these misstatements in the timing of revenue recognition was inappropriate conduct at our Standard Diagnostics subsidiary, or SD. These misstatements were primarily the result of conduct and practices initiated by a former employee in the sales organization. The inappropriate conduct and practices involved, among other things, misrepresentation and/or fabrication of documents used to validate revenue recognition that were intentionally concealed from our senior
8
leadership team and our external auditors at the time of the transactions and during the global revenue recognition assessment conducted as part of the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Further, other SD employees (in some cases subordinates of the initiating employee and local finance management responsible for other controls at SD) were involved in the inappropriate conduct or acted to conceal it. In addition, the Restatement reflects corrections for certain other misstatements that we identified in 2017 relating to 2014, 2015 and 2016. These adjustments as they relate to the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate to (a) misstatements in the classification of certain amounts between current assets, noncurrent assets and current liabilities, (b) misstatements in the classification of certain legal-related charges between non-operating expenses and operating expenses, and (c) misstatements to general and administrative expenses to correct the timing of bad debt expenses. The Restatement did not result in a change to our previously reported total amounts for net cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, or financing activities. There was no impact to net change in cash and cash equivalents for any previously reported periods.

The following schedules reconcile the amounts as previously reported in the applicable financial statements as filed with the SEC (prior to the Restatement) to the corresponding restatement amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016:

(3) Merger Agreement
Merger Agreement with Abbott Laboratories
On January 30, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Abbott Laboratories, or Abbott. The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Abbott with and into Alere, or the merger, with Alere surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Abbott, or the surviving corporation. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, prior to its amendment (as described herein), holders of shares of our common stock were entitled to receive $56.00 in cash, without interest, in exchange for each share of common stock. On April 13, 2017, Abbott and Alere entered into an Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement Amendment, which amends the Merger Agreement (as amended by the Merger Agreement Amendment, the Amended Merger Agreement), which provides, among other things, that the holders of shares of our common stock will receive $51.00 in cash, without interest, in exchange for each share of common stock. Other than as expressly modified pursuant to the Merger Agreement Amendment, the Merger Agreement remains in full force and effect. The Amended Merger Agreement has been approved by our Board of Directors, and, on July 7, 2017, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock approved the adoption of the Amended Merger Agreement.
Completion of the merger pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement is subject to remaining customary closing conditions, including (1) there being no judgment or law enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the merger, (2) the expiration of the waiting period applicable to the merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or the HSR Act, and receipt of other required antitrust approvals and (3) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Amended Merger Agreement). Under the terms of the Amended Merger Agreement, Abbott has agreed to make certain divestitures if necessary to obtain the consent of the antitrust authorities to the transaction contemplated by the Amended Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Amended Merger Agreement. The obligation of each of the parties to consummate the merger is also conditioned on the other partys representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions) and the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Amended Merger Agreement. The Amended Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights that allow the Amended Merger Agreement to be terminated in certain circumstances.
In addition, the Merger Agreement Amendment extends the date after which each of Alere and Abbott would have a right to terminate the Amended Merger Agreement to September 30, 2017, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement Amendment reduces the termination fee that Alere may be required to pay Abbott under specified circumstances to $161 million, from $177 million. The Merger Agreement Amendment also provides that neither any matter set forth in our public filings made with the SEC between January 1, 2014 and April 13, 2017, nor any matter of which Abbott or any of Abbotts representatives was made aware prior to April 13, 2017, could be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur. Further, in addition to the qualifications set forth in the original Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement Amendment qualifies all of our representations and warranties made in the Amended Merger Agreement (including those made in the original Merger Agreement) by all matters set forth in our public filings made with the SEC between January 1, 2014 and April 13, 2017 and any matter known by Abbott or any of Abbotts representatives prior to April 13, 2017.
In addition, the Merger Agreement Amendment changes Abbotts commitment to provide Aleres employees that continue with Abbott with specified levels of compensation and benefits to be a commitment through the first anniversary of the closing of the merger, rather than through December 31, 2017 and a 2018 long-term incentive award to each continuing employee employed by Abbott or its subsidiaries at the time annual long-term awards are made generally that is no less favorable than the long-term incentive award made to similarly situated employees of Abbott generally.

Antitrust Clearance
On May 2, 2016, Abbott and Alere received a request for additional information, or a second request, from the United States Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, relating to Abbotts potential acquisition of Alere. The second request was issued under the HSR Act. In addition, Abbott has agreed voluntarily to provide the FTC at least 60 days advance notice before certifying substantial compliance with the second request and to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act to not less than 60 days after Abbott and Alere have certified substantial compliance with the second request, unless the period is further extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC.
On June 23, 2016, Abbott and Alere received a request for additional information, or a supplemental information request, from the Canadian Competition Bureau, or the Bureau, relating to Abbotts potential acquisition of Alere. The supplemental information request was issued under the Competition Act of Canada, or the Competition Act. The effect of the supplemental information request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the Competition Act until 30 days after Abbott and Alere have each complied with the supplemental information request, unless the period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the Bureau. On June 8, 2017, the Bureau notified the parties that it will be requiring a Canadian consent agreement requiring the divestiture of the epoc and Triage product lines. The purchasers and terms of sale need to be approved by the Bureau.
On January 25, 2017, the European Commission approved the merger under the EU Merger Regulation. The approval is conditional on, and the merger may not be completed until, Abbott has entered into binding agreements to divest the epoc and Triage product lines, as well as our activities relating to the commercialization of BNP assays for use on Beckman-Coulter laboratory analyzers, to one or more purchasers. The purchasers and terms of sale need to be approved by the European Commission.
We have entered into agreements to sell each of the epoc product line, Triage product line and Aleres activities relating to the commercialization of BNP assays for use on Beckman-Coulter analyzers. On July 15, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with, solely for purposes of Sections 6.13 and 12.15 thereof, Quidel Corporation, QTB Acquisition Corp. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quidel Corporation) and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, Abbott pursuant to which we agreed to sell to QTB Acquisition Corp. our cardiovascular and toxicology Triage MeterPro business for aggregate consideration consisting of $400.0 million in cash (subject to an inventory adjustment), payable at the closing of the acquisition, and the assumption of certain post-closing liabilities. On that date, we also entered into another Purchase Agreement with, solely for purposes of Section 11.15 thereof, Quidel Corporation, QTB Acquisition Corp. and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, Abbott pursuant to which we agreed to sell to QTB Acquisition Corp. our assets and liabilities relating to our contractual arrangement with Beckman Coulter, Inc. for the supply by us of antibodies and other inputs related to, and distribution of, the Triage BNP Test for the Beckman Coulter Access Family of Immunoassay Systems for aggregate consideration consisting of up to $40.0 million in cash (subject to an inventory adjustment), payable in five annual installments, the first of which will be paid approximately six months after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the agreement, and the assumption of certain post-closing liabilities. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by each purchase agreement with Quidel is subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by both the Amended Merger Agreement and the other purchase agreement with Quidel and other customary closing conditions. On July 21, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Siemens Diagnostics Holding II B.V. and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, Abbott, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Siemens Diagnostics Holding II B.V. our Epocal subsidiary, including the epoc Blood Analysis system. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement with Siemens Diagnostics Holding II B.V. is subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amended Merger Agreement and customary closing conditions. The purchasers and the terms of sale pursuant to each of the purchase agreements described in this paragraph have not yet been approved by the applicable regulatory authorities. The transactions contemplated by such agreements are expected to occur concurrent with, or as soon as practicable following, the closing of the merger with Abbott. For additional information on these agreements, see Note 21 Subsequent Events.
On April 20, 2017, the South Korean antitrust authority informed Abbott that it would be expanding its review period by 90 days, which period has been periodically extended in order to respond to certain requests for information from the South Korean antitrust authority.
As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, antitrust approvals from the FTC, the Bureau and the South Korean antitrust authorities, each of which is required pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement, have not been obtained. The European Commission has not approved the purchasers or the terms of sale of the three divestiture transactions described above. We cannot guarantee that the European Commission will approve each of the purchasers and terms of sale by September 30, 2017, the date on which the Amended Merger Agreement may be terminated, subject to the terms set forth therein.
In connection with the divestiture of any of these businesses, we may need to enter into amendments to existing agreements or enter into new agreements to facilitate such divestitures. The terms of such amendments or new agreements may relate to, among other things, existing agreements with customers to purchase our products or may relate to the amendment to the agreements under which we initially acquired these businesses, including amendments to unresolved earn-out payment provisions. Any such agreement or amendment may require that we negotiate new terms and conditions with customers or with the previous owners of the business, and such terms may not be as advantageous to us as the current contracts or we may require that we incur material charges in connection with such amendments or agreements.

(9) Business Combinations
Our business acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill, based on our expectations of synergies and other benefits of combining the businesses. These synergies and benefits include elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing; use of our existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the products of the acquired businesses; and use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to expand product sales in a cost-efficient manner.
16
Net assets acquired are recorded at their estimated fair value and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the fair value analysis. The estimated useful lives of the individual categories of intangible assets were based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized over the shorter of the respective lives of the agreement or the period of time the intangible assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. We amortize our finite-lived intangible assets based on patterns on which the respective economic benefits are expected to be realized.
(a) Acquisition in 2016
EDTS
On February 11, 2016, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of European Drug Testing Services EDTS AB, or EDTS, located in Lidingo, Sweden, a provider of services related to on-site drug testing. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $6.5 million and was paid in cash. The operating results of EDTS are included in our professional diagnostics reporting unit and business segment.
Our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included revenue totaling approximately $1.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, related to this business. Our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 included revenue totaling approximately $1.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related to this business. Goodwill has been recognized in the acquisition and amounted to approximately $2.1 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

(a) Restructuring Plans
During 2016, management developed world-wide cost reduction plans to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies within our professional diagnostics and corporate and other business segments, primarily impacting our manufacturing and supply chain, and research and development groups, as well as closing certain business locations in Europe and the United States. The following table summarizes the restructuring expenses we incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and since inception for all restructuring plans adopted by us, including the 2016 restructuring plans. Our restructuring plans are disclosed in Note 23 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

We anticipate incurring approximately $6.5 million in additional costs under our 2016 restructuring plans related to our professional diagnostics and corporate and other business segments, primarily related to integration and operational initiatives related to our international supply chain. We may develop additional restructuring plans over the remainder of 2017 and beyond. In addition, we anticipate incurring approximately $1.3 million in additional costs under earlier restructuring plans related to our professional diagnostics and corporate and other business segments, primarily related to the closure of our manufacturing facility in Israel. These are estimated costs which have not yet been recognized under U.S. GAAP, but are anticipated in future periods based on the plans that have been determined by management.

(2) | As discussed more fully in Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources, (i) on March 31, 2016 we were in default under the credit agreement governing our secured credit facility, or the Credit Agreement, and the respective indentures governing our 7.25% senior notes due 2018, or the 7.25% senior notes, our 6.5% senior subordinated notes due 2020, or the 6.5% senior subordinated notes, our 6.375% senior subordinated notes due 2023, or the 6.375% senior subordinated notes, and our 3% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2016, or the 3% convertible senior subordinated notes, as a result of our failure to timely furnish to the holders of such debt our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and (ii) on April 22, 2016, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement and, on May 10, 2016, we obtained consents from the requisite holders of our senior notes and senior subordinated notes (other than holders of our 3% convertible senior subordinated notes) to waive certain defaults and extend the deadline dates for the filing and delivery, as applicable, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and certain related deliverables in order to avoid events of default under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our notes. As discussed more fully in Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources, in August 2016 we entered into a further amendment to the Credit Agreement with respect to our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 to, among other things, extend the deadline date for such filing. In addition, because we had not filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 at or prior to the time set forth in the indentures governing our outstanding notes, we were also in default thereunder. However, the filing of such Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on September 6, 2016 cured such default prior to the expiration of the applicable cure periods under the indentures governing our notes. |
(3) | As discussed more fully below, due to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, we were in default under the terms of the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our 7.25% senior notes, our 6.5% senior subordinated notes and our 6.375% senior subordinated notes. In order to avoid events of default and the potential acceleration of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, in April 2017 and May 2017 we entered into two separate amendments to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the lenders thereunder agreed to, among other things, extend the deadlines for delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 and certain related deliverables, as described below. As discussed more fully below, in May 2017, we obtained the consents from holders of our 7.25% senior notes, our 6.5% senior subordinated notes and our 6.375% senior subordinated notes to extend the deadlines for delivery of certain financial information and to waive through June 15, 2017 any default or event of default that occurred, is continuing or may occur under the respective indentures under which such notes were issued (and its consequences) in connection with any failure to timely file with the SEC or to timely furnish to the relevant trustees pursuant to the indentures, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. |
(4) | The 7.25% senior notes mature on July 1, 2018, unless earlier redeemed. Upon maturity, we will be required to pay the principal amount of $450 million, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. Management expects that the acquisition of Alere by Abbott pursuant to the terms of the Amended Merger Agreement will take place prior to the maturity date of July 1, 2018 and, if this expectation is correct, the holders of the 7.25% senior notes will have the rights set forth in the applicable indenture in connection with such transaction as set forth below in this paragraph. In the event that the transactions contemplated by the Amended Merger Agreement do not close, we expect that we would be able to pay such principal and accrued interest on the 7.25% senior notes by one or a combination of the following: refinancing such indebtedness (as we have done in the past), using available cash resources, or utilizing amounts available under the revolving credit facility. If a change of control occurs, subject to specified conditions, we must give holders of the 7.25% senior notes an opportunity to sell their notes to us at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date of the purchase. The merger under the Amended Merger Agreement, as described in Note 3 above will, if consummated, constitute a change of control under the indenture governing the 7.25% senior notes. |

April 2017 Amendment to Credit Facility
On April 24, 2017, we entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement for our secured credit facility, dated as of June 18, 2015, among the Company, the several lenders from time to time party thereto, the Administrative Agents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and certain other agents and arrangers. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the lenders under the Credit Agreement agreed to (i) waive certain Defaults and Events of Defaults (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) that may have occurred, are occurring or may occur after April 24, 2017, resulting from, among other things, (x) our failure to deliver to the Administrative Agents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) the financial statements and the related deliverables for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 by the applicable deadline under the Credit Agreement, (y) any restatement, revision or other adjustment of certain financial statements as a result of our review described in our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017, or the April 8-K, as a result of our incorrect recognition of revenue transactions at our South Korean and Japanese locations for certain fiscal periods set forth in the Third Amendment and (z) any breach of any representation or affirmative covenant as a result of certain deliverables being incorrect when delivered, which breach is discovered as part of the review described in the April 8-K, to the extent that such breach is due to our incorrect recognition of revenue transactions at our South Korean and Japanese locations for certain fiscal periods set forth in the Third Amendment and (ii) extend the deadlines for delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and certain related deliverables, or the Financial Reports. In connection with the Third Amendment, we agreed to pay, among other fees and expenses, to each lender that approved the Third Amendment a consent fee of 0.125% of the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of such lenders Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) outstanding on the effective date of the Third Amendment and (ii) such lenders Revolving Credit Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect on the effective date of the Third Amendment. We incurred and paid approximately $3.3 million in fees and expenses associated with this Third Amendment. The amendment was deemed to be a debt modification, and therefore the payments were capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.
May 2017 Consent Solicitation for Notes
On May 1, 2017, we commenced consent solicitations relating to each series of the Notes. On May 4, 2017, we made certain modifications to the consent solicitations, which are reflected herein. We solicited consents from holders of each series of Notes to extend the deadline for delivery of certain financial information and to waive through and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2017, any default or event of default that occurred, is continuing or may occur under the indentures under which the Notes were issued (and its consequences) in connection with any failure to timely file with the SEC or to timely furnish to the relevant trustees pursuant to the indentures, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, or the Fiscal Year 2016 Failure to File. If we did not file the Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016 and if we had failed to obtain the waivers requested pursuant to the consent solicitations, in each case on or before (i) May 16, 2017, with respect to the 7.25% Senior Notes, (ii) May 19, 2017, with respect to the 6.5% Senior Subordinated Notes, and (iii) June 2, 2017, with respect to the 6.375% Senior Subordinated Notes, an event of default would have arisen under the respective series of Notes and, among the remedies available to the noteholders, would have been the right to accelerate the payment of our obligations upon notice from the relevant trustees or holders of 25% of the applicable Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of the consent solicitations set forth in the consent solicitation statement, dated May 1, 2017, as supplemented, we offered to pay to each holder of Notes, as of April 28, 2017, a cash payment equal to $17.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of such holders Notes, or the Consent Fee, in respect of which the holder validly delivered (and did not validly revoke) a consent prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on May 5, 2017 (such time and date, the
20
Expiration Date), provided that we received and accepted the requisite consents for all series of Notes. If, at any time prior to 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on May 8, 2017, we filed with the SEC the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and we terminated the consent solicitations, we would pay to each holder of each series of Notes who delivered (and did not revoke) a valid and duly executed consent prior to the Expiration Date a cash payment, in lieu of the Consent Fee, equal to $10.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes for which such Holder delivered its Consent, or the Consent Termination Fee. On May 8, 2017, we successfully completed this solicitation and, in connection with the completion, we incurred and paid the Consent Fee to the consenting holders in an aggregate amount of approximately $23.8 million. We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and certain related deliverables prior to the June 15, 2017 deadline as established pursuant to this consent solicitation. The consents were deemed to be a debt modification, and therefore the payments were capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.
May 2017 Amendment to Credit Facility
On May 30, 2017, we entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the lenders under the Credit Agreement agreed to (i) waive certain Defaults and Events of Defaults (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) that may have occurred, are occurring or occur after May 30, 2017, resulting from, among other things, (x) failure to deliver to the Administrative Agents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) the financial statements and the related deliverables for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, in each case, by the applicable deadlines under the Credit Agreement, (y) any restatement, revision or other adjustment of certain financial statements as a result of the Companys review described in our Current Report on Form 8-K (as filed with the SEC on May 22, 2017), or the May 8-K, as a result of our incorrect recognition of revenue transactions for certain fiscal periods set forth in the amendment and (z) any breach of any representation or affirmative covenant as a result of certain deliverables being incorrect when delivered that is discovered as part of the review described in the May 8-K, to the extent that such breach is due to our incorrect recognition of revenue transactions for certain fiscal periods set forth in the fourth amendment, (ii) extend the deadlines for delivery of the financial statements and the related deliverables for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, to the earlier of (A) July 15, 2017, and (B) the date that is three business days prior to the earliest date (after giving effect to any applicable cure periods or any waivers or other types of extensions) that an event of default would arise under the indentures governing our 6.5% senior subordinated notes, 6.375% senior subordinated notes and 7.25% senior notes as a result of the failure to timely deliver such financial statements and (iii) extend the deadlines for delivery of the financial statements and the related deliverables for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 to the earliest of (A) the date that is ten business days after delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, (B) the date that is three business days prior to the earliest date (after giving effect to any applicable cure periods or any waivers or other types of extensions) that an event of default would arise under the indentures governing our 6.5% senior subordinated notes, 6.375% senior subordinated notes and 7.25% senior notes as a result of the failure to timely deliver the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 and (C) July 28, 2017. In connection with this amendment, we agreed to pay, among other fees and expenses, to the lenders that approved the amendment a consent fee of 0.25% of the sum of such lenders (i) aggregate principal amount of its Term Loans outstanding and (ii) Revolving Credit Commitment (each as defined in the Credit Agreement in effect on the effective date of the fourth amendment). We incurred and paid approximately $5.4 million in fees and expenses associated with this Fourth Amendment. We delivered the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and certain related deliverables prior to the deadlines as set forth in this amendment. The amendment was deemed to be a debt modification, and therefore the payments were capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.
June 2017 Consent Solicitation for Notes
On June 1, 2017, we commenced consent solicitations relating to each series of our Notes. We solicited consents from holders of each series of Notes to further extend the deadline for delivery of certain financial information and to waive, in each case (i) through and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 4, 2017 (such time and date, the First Waiver Date), (ii) through and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 5, 2017 (such time and date, the Second Waiver Date) if uncured immediately prior to the First Waiver Date, and (iii) through and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 4, 2017 (such time and date, the Third Waiver Date) if uncured immediately prior to the Second Waiver Date, any default or event of default that occurred, is continuing or may occur under the indentures (and its consequences) in connection with any failure to timely file with the SEC or to timely furnish to the relevant trustees pursuant to the indentures, the 2016 Form 10-K (the Fiscal Year 2016 10-K Failure to File) and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (the First Quarter 2017 Failure to File and, together with the Fiscal Year 2016 10-K Failure to File, the 2017 Failures to File). If we had not filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 by June 15, 2017, an event of default would have arisen under the respective series of notes and, among the remedies available to the noteholders, would have been the right to accelerate the payment of our obligations upon notice from the relevant trustee or holders of 25% of the applicable Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of the consent solicitations set forth in the consent solicitation statement, dated as of June 1, 2017, and provided that we receive and accept the requisite consents for all series of Notes, we offered to pay to each holder of Notes as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2017, (1) a cash payment promptly following the Expiration Date (as defined below) equal to: $20.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of 6.375% Notes for which such holder delivered its consent (the 6.375% Notes First Consent Fee), $15.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of 6.500% Notes for which such holder delivered its consent (the 6.500% Notes First Consent Fee) and $12.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of 7.250% Notes for which such holder delivered its consent (the 7.250% Notes First Consent Fee
21
and, together with the 6.375% Notes First Consent Fee and the 6.500% Notes First Consent Fee, the First Consent Fees and each a First Consent Fee) and (2) if any default or event of default remains uncured immediately prior to the First Waiver Date in connection with the 2017 Failures to File, an additional cash payment on or prior to the First Waiver Date (with respect to each series of Notes, the Second Consent Fee), equal to $5.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes and (3), if any default or event of default remains uncured immediately prior to the Second Waiver Date in connection with the 2017 Failures to File, an additional cash payment on or prior to the Second Waiver Date (with respect to each series of Notes, the Third Consent Fee), equal to $7.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, in each case in respect of which the holder validly delivers (and does not validly revoke) a consent prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on June 7, 2017 (such time and date, as amended, extended or otherwise modified, the Expiration Date), provided that we received and accepted the requisite consents for all series of Notes. We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016 on June 5, 2017, and we terminated this consent solicitation on June 5, 2017 and, in connection with this termination, we offered to pay a termination fee cash payment equal to $1.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the Termination Fee) for which holders either (1) had delivered a valid, duly executed and unrevoked consent pursuant to the Consent Solicitation Statement prior to the termination of the consent solicitation, or (2) delivered a valid, duly executed and unrevoked consent pursuant to the Consent Solicitation Statement prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 7, 2017. We incurred an aggregate Termination Fee of approximately $1.3 million which was paid to the consenting holders on June 8, 2017. In addition, we incurred $2.1 million in fees related to this consent solicitation. As the consent solicitation was terminated, the Termination Fee and other fees were expensed within the statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
Because we had not filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 at or prior to the time set forth in the indentures governing our Notes, we were in default thereunder. However, the filing of such Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on June 14, 2017 cured this default prior to the expiration of the applicable cure periods under the indentures governing our Notes.
As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all of our obligations and covenants under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our Notes.
(12) Fair Value Measurements
We apply fair value measurement accounting to value our financial assets and liabilities. Fair value measurement accounting provides a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following tables present information about our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

(1) | We determine the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted approach derived from earn-out criteria estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. The measurement is based upon significant inputs not observable in the market. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of these contingent consideration obligations are recorded as income or expense within operating income in our consolidated statements of operations within general and administrative expenses. See Note 15(a) Commitments and Contingences for additional information on the valuation of our contingent consideration obligations. |
Changes in the fair value of our Level 3 contingent consideration obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including the current portion) were, in each case, $2.9 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using information derived from available market sources (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy), including open-market trades and market quotes observed at or near period end, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been or will be realized in the future.
(13) Financial Information by Segment
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision-making group is composed of the chief executive officer and members of senior management. Our operating segments are currently (i) professional diagnostics; (ii) consumer diagnostics; and (iii) other non-reportable. Our corporate and other segment consists primarily of corporate expenses and assets that are not used in assessing operating segment performance and are necessary to reconcile the operating segments performance to the consolidated results. In January 2015, we sold our health management business. As a result of the sale of our health management business, which was the largest component of our former patient self-testing reporting segment, as well as certain other transactions in 2015, the only component of the patient self-testing reporting segment that was retained by Alere was the Alere Home Monitoring business. Therefore, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we reported our financial information in two operating segments: (i) professional diagnostics and (ii) consumer diagnostics, and Alere Home Monitoring was reported as a component of the professional diagnostics segment. Due to the nature of the operations of Alere Home Monitoring and the manner in which this business is conducted, beginning in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016, we now report our Alere Home Monitoring business as a separate operating segment under the heading other non-reportable segment. Alere Home Monitoring distributes PT/INR coagulation monitors and facilitates the distribution of equipment and supplies to power and control customers implanted
23
ventricular assist devices, or VADs, as well as telemonitoring services that allows VAD coordinators to monitor patients soon after discharge and receive alerts when critical patient values fall outside pre-established ranges. The information provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this change.
Our operating results include license and royalty revenue which are allocated to professional diagnostics and consumer diagnostics on the basis of the original license or royalty agreement. We evaluate performance of our operating segments based on revenue and operating income (loss). Segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows (in thousands):

(14) Related Party Transactions
(a) SPD Joint Venture
In May 2007, we completed the formation of SPD Swiss Precision Diagnostics GmbH, or SPD, our 50/50 joint venture with Procter & Gamble, or P&G, for the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of existing and to-be-developed consumer diagnostic products, outside the cardiometabolic, diabetes and oral care fields. Upon completion of the arrangement to form the joint venture, we ceased to consolidate the operating results of our consumer diagnostic products business related to the joint venture and instead account for our 50% interest in the results of the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.
We had a net payable to SPD of $4.9 million as of June 30, 2017 and $3.7 million as of December 31, 2016. The $4.9 million net payable balance as of June 30, 2017 is net of a receivable of approximately $1.3 million for costs incurred in connection with our 2008 SPD-related restructuring plans. The $3.7 million net payable balance as of December 31, 2016 is net of a receivable of approximately $1.2 million for costs incurred in connection with our 2008 SPD-related restructuring plans. We have also recorded a long-term receivable totaling approximately $5.2 million and $6.1 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, related to the 2008 SPD-related restructuring plans. Additionally, customer receivables associated with revenue earned after the formation of the joint venture have been classified as other receivables within prepaid and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets in the amounts of $5.4 million and $7.5 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. In connection with the joint venture arrangement, the joint venture bears the collection risk associated with these receivables. Sales to the joint venture under our manufacturing agreement totaled $17.1 million and $35.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $21.8 million and $39.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Additionally, services revenue generated pursuant to the long-term services agreement with the joint venture totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Sales under our manufacturing agreement and long-term services agreement are included in net product sales and services revenue, respectively, in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Under the terms of our product supply agreement, SPD purchases products from our manufacturing facilities in China. SPD in turn sells a portion of those tests back to us for final assembly and packaging. Once packaged, a portion of the tests are sold to P&G for distribution to third-party customers in North America. We defer our profit on products sold to SPD until the products are sold through to the customer.
The following table summarizes our related party balances with SPD within our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

As previously disclosed, SPD is currently involved in civil litigation brought by a competitor in the United States with respect to the advertising of one of SPDs products in the United States. The district court issued an injunction with respect to sales and advertising of such product and determined that SPD violated certain laws with respect to the advertising of such product. SPDs appeal of this decision was unsuccessful. The competitors request for damages is now pending before the district court. In addition, a class action lawsuit was filed against SPD and P&G in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging violations of certain laws in connection with the sales and advertising of one of SPDs products, which claims are based on similar grounds as those described above. On August 19, 2016, the class action lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. The plaintiffs appealed
25
the district courts decision but, on March 30, 2017, the case was voluntarily dismissed upon initiation of the plaintiff. There may be additional lawsuits against SPD or us relating to this matter in the future. The ultimate resolution of the matter, including the amount of any damages that may be required to be paid, is not known at this time, nor is the potential impact that any pending litigation or future litigation may have on SPD or us, including whether any such resolution or any damages imposed by a court would have a material adverse impact on SPD and, ultimately, by virtue of our 50% interest in SPD, on our financial position or results of operations.
(b) Entrustment Loan Arrangement with SPD Shanghai
Our subsidiary Alere (Shanghai) Diagnostics Co., Ltd., or Alere Shanghai, and SPDs subsidiary SPD Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., or SPD Shanghai, entered into an entrustment loan arrangement for a maximum of CNY 23.0 million (approximately $3.4 million at June 30, 2017), in order to finance the latters short-term working capital needs, with the HSBC Shanghai Branch, or HSBC. The agreement governs the setting up of an Entrustment Loan Account with HSBC, into which Alere Shanghai deposits certain monies. This restricted cash account provides a guarantee to HSBC of amounts borrowed from HSBC by SPD Shanghai. The Alere Shanghai HSBC account is recorded as restricted cash on our balance sheet and amounted to $3.4 million and $3.3 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
(c) TechLab
On September 16, 2016, we sold our 49% interest in TechLab Inc., a company that provides diagnostic testing products used by physicians and other health care customers to diagnose, treat, and monitor intestinal diseases and other medical conditions. Prior to this sale, we accounted for this interest in TechLab as an equity method investment. Alere served as a distributor of TechLab products prior to the September 16, 2016 sale and will remain the principal global distributor of TechLab products pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement with TechLab. We made product purchases from TechLab of $4.5 million and $9.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
(15) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Acquisition-related Contingent Consideration Obligations
We have contractual contingent purchase price consideration obligations related to certain of our acquisitions. We determine the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted approach derived from the overall likelihood of achieving certain performance targets, including product development milestones or financial metrics. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement, as defined in fair value measurement accounting. The resultant probability-weighted earn-out payments are discounted using a discount rate based upon the weighted-average cost of capital. At each reporting date, we revalue the contingent consideration obligations to the reporting date fair values and record increases and decreases in the fair values as income or expense in our consolidated statements of operations within general and administrative expenses.
Increases or decreases in the fair values of the contingent consideration obligations may result from, among other things, changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of earn-out criteria and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. From time to time, we have entered into amendments to modify the provisions governing the contingent consideration obligations, and such amendments have resulted in changes to the fair value of these obligations. For example, in June 2017, we entered into an agreement with former shareholders of Epocal Inc. pursuant to which we paid such former shareholders $15.0 million in full satisfaction of all of our obligations under the agreements pursuant to which we acquired Epocal Inc., including all future earn-out or contingent payment obligations arising under such agreements. We may in the future enter into additional amendments that may also result in changes to such fair values.
The following table summarizes our contractual contingent purchase price consideration obligations outstanding at June 30, 2017 related to certain of our acquisitions (in thousands):

(b) Legal Proceedings
Litigation with Abbott Laboratories
After entering into the original Merger Agreement, Abbott informed Alere that it had serious concerns about, among other things, the accuracy of various representations, warranties and covenants made by Alere in the original Merger Agreement. Abbott indicated that these concerns related to the delay in the filing of Aleres Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 as well as governmental investigations previously announced by Alere. Abbott requested information from Alere about these and other matters, citing contractual rights to receive information under the original Merger Agreement. In the initial meeting in which Abbott expressed its concerns to Alere, as part of a discussion about potential paths forward, Abbott requested that Alere agree to terminate the original Merger Agreement in return for a payment by Abbott to Alere in the range of between $30 and $50 million in respect of Aleres transaction expenses. Aleres Board of Directors promptly rejected that request. In these discussions, Abbott affirmed its commitment to abide by its obligations under the original Merger Agreement.
On August 25, 2016, Alere filed a complaint against Abbott in the Delaware Chancery Court, and filed an accompanying motion to expedite the proceedings, asking the Delaware Chancery Court to require Abbott to specifically perform its obligations with respect to obtaining antitrust approvals as required by the original Merger Agreement.
On September 29, 2016, the Delaware Chancery Court entered an order that, among other things, adopted a detailed schedule setting forth actions required to be taken by specified dates in order to obtain all antitrust clearances required by the original Merger Agreement.
On November 3, 2016, Abbott filed a complaint against Alere in the Delaware Chancery Court asserting a claim against Alere for breach of contract from Aleres alleged refusal to provide Abbott with certain information under the original Merger Agreement. On February 1, 2017, Alere filed a motion to dismiss Abbotts November 3 complaint.
On December 7, 2016, Abbott filed a complaint (which was subsequently amended after the various actions were consolidated) in the Delaware Chancery Court seeking a declaration that Alere had experienced a Material Adverse Effect (as such term is defined in the original Merger Agreement) and that Abbott could terminate the original Merger Agreement.
On February 1, 2017, Abbott filed its answer to the complaint Alere had filed on August 25, 2016, and Alere filed an answer to Abbotts amended complaint as well as counterclaims against Abbott. Aleres counterclaims requested a declaratory judgment that, among other things, (i) there had been no Material Adverse Effect (as such term is defined in the original Merger Agreement); and (ii) Abbott had breached the parties original Merger Agreement and breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
Settlement Agreement relating to the Amended Merger Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement Amendment on April 13, 2017, Alere and Abbott entered into a settlement agreement, or the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement released claims arising out of or related to the merger, and resolved the parties litigation that had been pending in Delaware Chancery Court. The Settlement Agreement provided reciprocal releases, except for any potential antitrust claims by Alere to the extent they relate to developments after August 25, 2016, which would not be released until the parties obtain all consents and regulatory clearances necessary for closing. Abbotts potential claims based on information not excluded from the definition of Material Adverse Effect in the Amended Merger Agreement were also not released. Finally, the Settlement Agreement provided for dismissal of the Delaware litigation with prejudice, with the exception of the non-released antitrust claims, which were dismissed without prejudice.
Arriva Medical Billing Number
Arriva Medical is our durable medical equipment, or DME, supply business that furnishes diabetic testing supplies via mail order, including blood glucose monitors, test strips, lancets, lancing devices, and control solutions, as well as other related medical supplies in the United States. These products are generally covered by Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payers. Competition for Medicare-reimbursed diabetes testing supplies, which represents the majority of our Arriva Medical business, changed significantly in 2013 as a result of implementation by CMS of a competitive bidding process to limit the number of eligible suppliers and the fees for which they may be reimbursed. Based on the most recent bidding process, we estimate that CMS currently reimburses approximately ten suppliers who have agreed to accept a contractual reimbursement rate for mail-order diabetic testing supplies for the period from July 2016 to December 2018 that is substantially lower than the established fee schedule for these products. Arriva Medical is one of those approximately ten suppliers that was awarded a national mail-order contract. Suppliers that were not awarded contracts are unable to be reimbursed by Medicare for mail-order diabetic testing supplies.
27
On October 12, 2016, Arriva Medical received a notice, dated October 5, 2016, that its Medicare enrollment would be revoked by CMS, based on CMS assertion that, over a five-year period, out of approximately 5.7 million Medicare claims made for about one million unique beneficiaries, Arriva had allegedly submitted claims for 211 Medicare beneficiaries who were deceased on the date their products were shipped (even if the products were appropriately ordered in advance of the patients death). Arriva Medicals initial appeal of this determination was denied by CMS, and Arrivas Medicare enrollment was revoked effective November 4, 2016, pending the outcome of further appeals. Arriva Medical conducted an investigation into the issue and does not believe that it received or, if received, retained, any Medicare reimbursement for the DME items at issue for these 211 Medicare beneficiaries. In addition, CMS subsequently provided notice that Arriva Medicals competitive bidding contract would be terminated as a result of the revocation of its enrollment.
On December 27, 2016, Arriva Medical filed an appeal for an administrative law judge, or ALJ, hearing seeking to permanently reinstate Arrivas Medicare enrollment status retroactive to the November 4, 2016 revocation date. On April 25, 2017, the ALJ upheld CMSs revocation of Arriva Medicals Medicare enrollment. On June 7, 2017, Arriva Medical timely appealed the ALJ decision to the Department Appeals Board, which appeal remains pending.
On December 28, 2016, Arriva Medical also filed a complaint in Federal District Court for the District of Columbia requesting a temporary restraining order, or TRO, and preliminary injunction, or PI, to prohibit CMS from terminating Arriva Medicals competitive bidding contract and requesting that the court require CMS to reinstate Arrivas Medicare billing status until due process could be provided in the form of the completion of the administrative appeals process prescribed by regulation. In conjunction with this case, on January 4, 2017, CMS agreed through its counsel that it would not revoke the competitive bidding contract while the administrative appeals process was underway, which mooted the request for the TRO. On March 9, 2017, the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia denied the PI to prohibit CMS from terminating Arriva Medicals competitive bidding contract and also denied CMSs motion to dismiss Arriva Medicals complaint. On April 17, 2017, the court issued an order dismissing Arriva Medicals complaint.
We are unable, at this time, to determine the outcome of these pending legal matters related to Arriva Medicals billing number.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Subpoena
On August 28, 2015, we received a subpoena from the SEC which indicated that it is conducting a formal investigation of Alere. The SECs subpoena relates to, among other things, (i) the restatement and revision to our financial statements referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as amended, including the accounting for deferred taxes for discontinued operations, as well as our tax strategies and policies and (ii) our sales practices and dealings with third parties (including distributors and foreign government officials) in Africa relating to sales to government entities. On January 14, 2016, we received a second subpoena from the SEC in connection with this formal investigation seeking, among other things, additional information related to sales of products and services to end-users in Africa, as well as revenue recognition relating to sales of products and services to end-users in Africa. We have also received, from time to time, requests in connection with the investigation to voluntarily produce additional information to the SEC, including information pertaining to certain other countries in Asia and Latin America, as well as additional information on revenue recognition matters and revisions to our financial statements referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and subsequent filings made with the SEC.
We are cooperating with the SEC and have provided documents in response to the subpoenas and voluntary requests and we have made witnesses available to be interviewed by the SEC.
We have recently commenced discussions with the SEC about a potential resolution of the matters under review by the SEC. We anticipate that we would likely need to obtain certain approvals before we could agree to any proposed resolution. There can be no assurance that future discussions with the SEC to resolve these matters will be successful, that the approvals we need will be obtained or that any potential settlement will be agreed to or finalized. We are unable to predict when these matters will be resolved or what further action, if any, the government will take in connection with them, including any potential actions by the SEC if the discussions do not result in a resolution of the matter. Based on the ongoing uncertainties associated with any potential resolution of the matters under investigation by the SEC, we are unable at this time to predict the terms of the final resolution of the matter, including the ultimate amount of liability we may be required to pay to the SEC, but such amount could be material to our results of operations in future periods.
Department of Justice Grand Jury Subpoena
On March 11, 2016, we received a grand jury subpoena from the United States Department of Justice requiring the production of documents relating to, among other things, sales, sales practices and dealings with third parties (including distributors and foreign governmental officials) in Africa, Asia and Latin America and other matters related to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
We are cooperating with the Department of Justice and have provided information in response to the subpoena. We are unable to predict when this matter will be resolved or what further action, if any, the Department of Justice may take in connection with it.
28
Securities Class Actions
On April 21, 2016 and May 4, 2016 two class action lawsuits captioned Godinez v. Alere Inc. and Breton v. Alere Inc., respectively, were filed against us in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Both actions purport to assert claims against us and certain current and former officers for alleged violations of Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act. On July 11, 2016, the court entered an order consolidating the two actions and appointing lead plaintiffs and lead counsel. Lead plaintiffs filed a supplemental and amended consolidated class action complaint on January 4, 2017, seeking to represent a proposed class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock during the period May 28, 2015 through December 7, 2016. The complaint seeks damages allegedly caused by alleged materially misleading statements and/or material omissions by us and the officers regarding our and our subsidiaries business, prospects and operations, which allegedly operated to inflate artificially the price paid for our common stock during the class period. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, including interest thereon, attorneys fees and costs. We filed our motion to dismiss the amended complaint on February 6, 2017 and the court heard oral argument on that motion on June 27, 2017.
We are unable at this time to determine the outcome of this class action lawsuit or our potential liability, if any.
Matters Relating to our San Diego Facility
On October 9, 2012, we received a warning letter from the FDA referencing inspectional observations set forth in a Form FDA 483 received in June 2012. The observations were the result of an inspection of our San Diego facility conducted earlier during 2012 relating to our Alere Triage products, which resulted in two recalls of certain Alere Triage products and revised release specifications for our Alere Triage meter-based products. In September 2014, as follow up to a further inspection of our San Diego facility, the FDA notified us that this inspection was classified voluntary action indicated, meaning that the objectionable conditions or practices found in the inspection did not meet the threshold of significance requiring regulatory action, but that formal close-out of the October 2012 Warning Letter could not occur until after a future inspection.
In May 2012, we also received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, or the OIG, seeking documents relating primarily to the quality control testing and performance characteristics of Alere Triage products. We are cooperating with the government and are responding to the investigation, which is ongoing. We have been engaged in discussions with the government about this matter, including a resolution of potential related False Claims Act and common law liability exposure for the products under review. As a result of these discussions, management accrued, as of December 31, 2016, an aggregate of $35.0 million for potential liability of the claims related to this matter. We would need to obtain certain approvals before we could agree to any proposed resolution. There can be no assurance that future discussions with the government to resolve these matters will be successful, that the approvals we need will be obtained or that any potential settlement will be agreed to or finalized. We are unable to predict when these matters will be resolved or what further action, if any, the government will take in connection with them. Based on the ongoing uncertainties and potentially wide range of outcomes associated with any potential resolution of the matter under investigation by the OIG, the ultimate amount of potential liability may materially exceed the $35.0 million accrual we have established.
INRatio Class Actions
On May 26, 2016, a class action lawsuit captioned Dina Andren and Sidney Bludman v. Alere Inc., et al., was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. This class action purports to assert claims against us under several legal theories, including fraud, breach of warranty, unjust enrichment and violation of applicable unfair competition/business practice statutes in connection with the manufacturing, marketing and sale of our INRatio products. The plaintiffs seek to represent a proposed class of all persons who purchased, rented or otherwise paid for the INRatio system during the period January 1, 2009 to May 26, 2016 in the United States, or alternatively, California, Maryland, New York, Colorado, Florida, Georgia and Pennsylvania. The plaintiffs seek restitution and damages allegedly resulting from inaccurate PT/INR readings and from the purchase of devices that claimants say they would not have purchased had they known of the alleged propensity of these devices to yield inaccurate PT/INR results. Among other things, the plaintiffs seek a refund of money spent on INRatio products and unspecified compensatory damages, injunctive relief, attorneys fees and costs. Several of the state classes also seek statutory penalties. Plaintiffs state that they do not seek recovery for personal injury.
We are unable, at this time, to determine the outcome of these class action lawsuits or our potential liability, if any.
Another class action lawsuit captioned J.E, J.D., and all others similarly situated v. Alere Inc., Alere San Diego, Inc. and Alere Home Monitoring, Inc., was filed against us in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on July 22, 2016. In May 2017, prior to class certification proceedings, the parties agreed to dismiss this lawsuit. We have agreed to pay the plaintiffs and counsel for the plaintiffs an immaterial amount in connection with this dismissal.
29
Claims in the Ordinary Course and Other Matters
We are also party to certain other legal proceedings and other governmental investigations, or are requested to provide information in connection with such proceedings or investigations. For example, in December 2014, we and our subsidiary, Avee Laboratories Inc., or Avee, received subpoenas from the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey seeking marketing materials and other documents relating primarily to billing and marketing practices related to toxicology testing. We are cooperating with this investigation and are providing documents in response to the subpoena. We and our subsidiary, Arriva Medical, LLC, are also in the process of responding to Civil Investigative Demands, or CIDs, from the United States Attorneys office for the Middle District of Tennessee and the U.S. Department of Justice in connection with an investigation of possible improper claims submitted to Medicare and Medicaid. The most recent of the CIDs related to this matter was received in May 2017. The CIDs request patient and insurance billing and medical records, records related to interactions with third parties, and correspondence related to the same, communications with customers and terms of sale for diabetic products, dating back to January 2010. In an unrelated matter, in January 2017, our subsidiary Alere Home Monitoring, Inc., which offers home self-testing anticoagulation monitoring and VAD services and products, received a CID from the United States Attorneys Office for the District of Massachusetts. The January 2017 CID, which covers similar subject matter to a letter request from the Department of Justice Civil Division dating back to June 2015, is broad in scope, but is understood to be primarily focused on obtaining records and information about Alere Home Monitoring, Inc.s billing practices and policies relating to the frequency at which PT/INR self-testing is prescribed and performed since 2006. In addition, in March 2017, Alere Home Monitoring, Inc. received a second letter request from the Department of Justice Civil Division seeking additional information regarding billing frequencies of PT/INR self-testing beyond the original scope of the June 2015 request. We are cooperating with these various unrelated investigations and are providing documents and information responsive to each of the CIDs and letter requests. We cannot predict what effect, if any, these investigations, or any resulting claims, could have on us or our subsidiaries.
As previously disclosed, we received a U.S. Department of Justice criminal subpoena addressed to Alere Toxicology Services, Inc. on July 1, 2016 which seeks records related to Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare billings dating back to 2010 for specific patient samples tested at our Austin, Texas pain management laboratory and payments made to physicians. On June 8, 2017 we were informed that the U.S. Department of Justice is closing this investigation without taking any action against the Company or Alere Toxicology Services, Inc.
We have received, from time to time, additional subpoenas and requests for information from the United States Department of Justice, other federal government agencies and state attorneys general, and we have, in each of these cases, cooperated with the applicable governmental entity in responding to the applicable subpoena or request for information. For example, in May 2016, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, which seeks various documents related to the accuracy, reliability and performance of the INRatio system, including documents relating to prior interactions with the FDA and others regarding the system.
Our diabetes, toxicology and patient self-testing businesses are subject to audit and claims for reimbursement brought in the ordinary course by: private third-party payers, including health insurers; Zone Program Integrity Contractors, or ZPICs; and Medicare Administrative Contractors, or MACs, to monitor compliance with coverage and reimbursement rules and guidelines. These types of audits and claims can include, but are not limited to, claims relating to proper documentation and support, claims relating to the medical necessity of certain testing or billing practices are not in accord with applicable rules and guidelines and can lead to assertions or determinations that certain claims should not have been, or will no longer be, paid by the private third-party payer or by Medicare or Medicaid. In such cases, the payer or program may seek to recoup or offset amounts they assert have been paid in error.
Our businesses may also be subject at any time to other commercial disputes, product liability claims, personal injury claims, including claims arising from or relating to product recalls, negligence claims, third-party subpoenas or various other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, including infringement, employment or investor matters, disputes regarding the payment of contingent consideration obligations and we expect that this will continue to be the case in the future. For example, several individuals have filed suits against us alleging personal injury claims in connection with the use of our INRatio products (which are in addition to the class action suits described above). In addition, the former shareholders of Ionian Technologies Inc. filed a lawsuit against us in May 2017 alleging, among other things, that they are owed $30.0 million in earn-out payments under the agreement pursuant to which we acquired Ionian Technologies.
Such lawsuits or claims generally seek damages or reimbursement, sometimes in substantial amounts. There are possible unfavorable outcomes related to litigation or governmental investigations that could materially impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting bodies that we adopt on or before the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income or cash flows upon adoption. Please also see Note 5(w), Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to our consolidated financial statements included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, or ASU 2017-09. ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, or ASU 2017-07. ASU 2017-07 improves the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost by requiring that an employer that offers to its employees defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted within the first interim period. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method for the presentation of the service cost component and other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment, or ASU 2017-04. ASU 2017-04 removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting units carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-04 on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, or ASU 2017-01. ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted under certain scenarios. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-01 on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASU 2016-20. ASU 2016-20 clarifies specific aspects of previously issued guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (discussed below). ASU 2016-20 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-20 on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-19, Technical Corrections and Improvements, or ASU 2016-19. ASU 2016-19 provides simplification and minor improvements to Topics on insurance and troubled debt restructuring that result in editorial changes to the Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC. Most of the amendments in this ASU 2016-19 do not require transition guidance and are effective immediately. Early adoption is permitted for the amendments that require transition guidance. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-19 to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, or ASU 2016-18. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-18 on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, or ASU 2016-16. ASU 2016-16 requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs and eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-16 on our consolidated financial statements.
31
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, or ASU 2016-15. ASU 2016-15 provides cash flow statement classification guidance for: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, or ASU 2016-12. ASU 2016-12: (1) clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion for applying Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permits an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price; (3) specifies that the measurement date for non-cash consideration is contract inception; (4) provides a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarifies that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarifies that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. ASU 2016-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-12 on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, or ASU 2016-10. ASU 2016-10 adds further guidance on identifying performance obligations and also to improve the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance. ASU 2016-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-10 on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), or ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date, a lease liability which is a lessees obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessees right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied with a modified retrospective transition approach, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASU 2014-09, as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. ASU 2014-09 sets forth a new revenue recognition standard that provides for a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB finalized a one-year delay in the effective date of this standard, which will now be effective for us on January 1, 2018; however, early adoption is permitted any time after the original effective date, which for us is January 1, 2017. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
We believe that there were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
32
Recently Adopted Standards
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, or ASU 2016-09. ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU 2016-09. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 had the following impact on our consolidated financial statements:
| All excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies are now recognized as income tax benefit or expense as applicable. Previously, we recorded the benefit or expense to additional paid-in capital. The tax benefit (expense) recorded in our consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was zero for both periods. The standard requires prospective presentation of this tax benefit (expense). We also elected to adopt the cash flow presentation of the excess tax benefit (expense) prospectively commencing in the first quarter of 2017. The tax benefit (expense) is required to be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Previously, it was required to be classified within financing activities. |
| All cash payments made to taxing authorities on the employees behalf for withheld shares are now presented as financing activities on the statement of cash flows. Previously, it was required to be classified within operating activities. This change was applied retrospectively with a reclassification of $1.4 million from operating to financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016. |
We have elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. None of the other provisions in this guidance had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, or ASU 2016-07. ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. ASU 2016-07 requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investors previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. ASU 2016-07 also requires that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. ASU 2016-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU 2016-07. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, or ASU 2015-11. ASU 2015-11 requires an entity to measure in-scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply ASU 2015-11 prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU 2015-11. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
(17) Equity Investments
We account for the results from our equity investments under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323, InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures, based on the percentage of our ownership interest in the business. Our equity investments primarily include the following:
(a) SPD
We recorded earnings of $1.4 million and $6.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and earnings of $1.6 million and $6.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, in equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax, in our consolidated statements of operations, which represented our 50% share of SPDs net income for the respective periods and elimination of intercompany profit in inventory related to sales from Alere to SPD which is reflected in SPDs net income.
33
(b) TechLab
We recorded earnings of zero and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and earnings of $0.6 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, in equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax, in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations, which represented our minority share of TechLabs net income for the respective periods.
On September 16, 2016, we completed the sale of our 49% interest in the TechLab business and, in connection with such sale, we recorded a gain in equity earnings of unconsolidated entities of $29.9 million.
Summarized financial information for SPD (and TechLab on a combined basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016) is as follows (in thousands):

The dividends we received in cash as a return from capital from our equity investments have been included in cash flows from investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows for all the periods presented.
(18) Impairment and (Gain) Loss on Dispositions, Net
In January 2016, we completed the sale of our Alere E-Santé business, which was a component of our professional diagnostics reporting unit and business segment. We received cash consideration of approximately $8.1 million, net of a final working capital adjustment totaling approximately $0.2 million, and we are eligible to receive up to $1.5 million of contingent cash consideration. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a $3.8 million gain in the three months ended March 31, 2016 on the disposition of the Alere E-Santé business.
The financial results for the above business are immaterial to our consolidated financial results.
(19) Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased by $14.7 million to $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was (23)% and (8)%, respectively.
The provision for income taxes increased by $33.5 million to $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was (28)% and (6)%, respectively.
The Company determines its estimated annual effective tax rate at the end of each interim period based on forecasted pre-tax income (loss) and facts known at that time. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date pre-tax income (loss) at the end of each interim period with certain adjustments. The tax effect of significant unusual or extraordinary items is discretely reflected in the period in which they occur. Our estimated annual effective tax rate is calculated based on forecasted pre-tax income (loss) across various jurisdictions, and can change based on the mix of jurisdictional pre-tax income (loss) and other factors.
Our $17.3 million and $35.9 million income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, is primarily related to foreign incomes taxes based on forecasted and year-to-date pre-tax foreign income by jurisdiction as well as U.S. federal and state income taxes in connection with the increase of deferred tax liabilities on indefinite-lived intangible assets and certain other state income taxes. Our $2.6 million and $2.4 million income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, is primarily related to foreign incomes taxes based on forecasted and year-to-date pre-tax foreign income (loss) by
34
jurisdiction offset by U.S. federal and state income tax benefits based on forecasted and year-to-date pre-tax U.S. federal and state income (loss). As of December 31, 2016, we recorded a valuation allowance due to uncertainties related to the future benefits and realization of our deferred tax assets related to U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets and as such no U.S. federal and state income tax benefits were recorded related to the pre-tax U.S. federal and state loss during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
(20) Guarantor Financial Information
Our 7.25% senior notes, our 6.5% senior subordinated notes and our 6.375% senior subordinated notes are guaranteed by certain of our consolidated 100% owned subsidiaries, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a consolidating basis, balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the related statements of operations and statements of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for Alere Inc., the Guarantor Subsidiaries and our other subsidiaries, or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The supplemental financial information reflects the investments of Alere Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries in the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting.
We have extensive transactions and relationships between various members of the consolidated group. These transactions and relationships include intercompany pricing agreements, intellectual property royalty agreements and general and administrative and research and development cost-sharing agreements. Because of these relationships, it is possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among wholly unrelated parties.
For comparative purposes, certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification. Prior periods have been presented on a basis that is consistent with the current period.
The quantitative impacts of the Restatement on the guarantor financial information are included in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
