EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (“Form 10-Q/A”) to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2010, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 4, 2011 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed to reflect a restatement of its condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010, as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements included at Item 1.

In connection with the Company’s preparation of the Original Filing, the Company determined that the conditions associated with a $4.9 million milestone payment obligation had not been met, and as a result, no liability was recorded. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011, the Company determined that it should have recorded the $4.9 million milestone payment obligation in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, and an associated increase to goodwill in the Pharmaceuticals reporting unit, as the conditions associated with that milestone were determined to have been satisfied as of December 31, 2010. As a result, in this Form 10-Q/A, the Company is restating its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures to recognize the obligation, and the related goodwill impairment charge and tax adjustments.

Although this Form 10-Q/A supersedes the Original Filing in its entirety, this Form 10-Q/A only amends and restates Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I solely as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement, and no other information in the Original Filing is amended hereby. While the foregoing items have been updated, this amended report does not reflect any other events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-Q on February 4, 2011. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 6 of Part II of the Original Filing has been amended to contain currently-dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, respectively.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Period Ended December 31, 2010
(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation and Restatement

     The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present the financial results for the periods presented. These financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. These estimates may be adjusted as more information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant. The impact of any change in estimates is included in the determination of earnings in the period in which the change in estimate is identified. The results of operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2011 fiscal year.

     In accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has omitted footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010, and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2010.

     Restatement

     In the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company originally determined that the conditions associated with a $4.9 million milestone payment obligation related to the 2007 acquisition of SurModics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“SurModics Pharmaceuticals”) had not been met, and as a result, did not record a liability associated with this amount during such period. Subsequent to the issuance of its condensed financial statements for such period, the Company determined that it should have recorded this additional $4.9 million milestone payment obligation and an associated increase to goodwill in the Pharmaceuticals reporting unit. The Company has further determined that this additional goodwill should be impaired, as the operating performance of the Pharmaceuticals reporting unit did not support continuing recognition of the goodwill asset. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the increased goodwill impairment charge and tax adjustments.

     The tables below show the net changes between the financial statements as previously reported and as restated (in thousands).

(2) Key Accounting Policies

     Revenue recognition

     Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) shipment has occurred or delivery has occurred if the terms specify destination; (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. When there are additional performance requirements, revenue is recognized when all such requirements have been satisfied. Under revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company recognizes each separable deliverable as it is earned.

     The Company’s revenue is derived from three primary sources: (1) royalties and license fees from licensing its proprietary drug delivery and surface modification technologies to customers; (2) the sale of polymers and reagent chemicals, stabilization products, antigens, substrates and microarray slides to the diagnostics and biomedical research industries; and (3) research and development fees generated on customer projects.

     Royalties and licenses fees. The Company licenses technology to third parties and collects royalties. Royalty revenue is generated when a customer sells products incorporating the Company’s licensed technologies. Royalty revenue is recognized as licensees’ report it to the Company, and payment is typically submitted concurrently with the report. For stand-alone license agreements, up-front license fees are recognized over the term of the related licensing agreement. Minimum royalty fees are recognized in the period earned and collectability is reasonably assured.

     Revenue related to a performance milestone is recognized upon the achievement of the milestone, as defined in the respective agreements and provided the following conditions have been met:

	•		The milestone payment is non-refundable;
	•		The milestone is achieved, involved a significant degree of risk, and was not reasonably assured at the inception of the arrangement;
	•		Accomplishment of the milestone involved substantial effort;
	•		The amount of the milestone payment is commensurate with the related effort and risk; and
	•		A reasonable amount of time passed between the initial license payment and the first and subsequent milestone payments.

     If these conditions have not been met, the milestone payment is deferred and recognized over the term of the agreement.

     Product sales. Product sales to third parties are recognized at the time of shipment, provided that an order has been received, the price is fixed or determinable, collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured and returns can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s sales terms provide no right of return outside of the standard warranty policy. Payment terms are generally set at 30-45 days.

     Research and development. The Company performs third party research and development activities, which are typically provided on a time and materials basis. Generally, revenue for research and development is recorded as performance progresses under the applicable contract.

     Arrangements with multiple deliverables. In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the accounting standards for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements to:

	(i).		provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated;
	(ii).		require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices (ESP) of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (VSOE) or third-party evidence of selling price (TPE); and
	(iii).		eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.

     The Company enters into license and development arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables that could include license to SurModics technology, research and development activities, manufacturing services, and product sales based on the needs of its customers. For example, a customer may enter into an arrangement to obtain a license to SurModics intellectual property which would also include research and development activities, and supply of products manufactured by SurModics. For these services provided, SurModics could receive upfront license fees upon signing of a contract and granting the license, fees for research and development activities as such activities are performed, milestone payments contingent upon advancement of the product through development and clinical stages to successful commercialization, fees for manufacturing services and supply of product, and royalty payments based on customer sales of product incorporating SurModics’ technology.

     Under the accounting guidance, the Company is still required to evaluate each deliverable in a multiple element arrangement for separability. The Company is then required to allocate revenue to each separate deliverable using a hierarchy of VSOE, TPE, or ESP. In many instances, the Company is not able to establish VSOE for all deliverables in an arrangement with multiple elements. This may be a result of the Company infrequently selling each element separately or having a limited history with multiple element arrangements. When VSOE cannot be established, the Company attempts to establish selling price of each element based on TPE. TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately.

     When the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, the Company uses ESP in its allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of ESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. ESP is generally used for highly customized offerings.

     The Company determines ESP for undelivered elements by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, competitive landscape and past pricing arrangements with similar features. The determination of ESP is made through consultation with the Company’s management, taking into consideration the marketing strategies for each business unit.

     New Accounting Pronouncements

     No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(3) Fair Value Measurements

     The accounting guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance is applicable for all financial assets and financial liabilities and for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.

     Fair Value Hierarchy

     Accounting guidance on fair value measurements requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

     The Company’s Level 1 asset consists of its investment in OctoPlus, N.V. (see Note 6 for further information). The fair market value of this investment is based on the quoted price of OctoPlus shares traded on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities 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 asset or liability.

     The Company’s Level 2 assets consist of money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. agency securities, agency and municipal securities, certain asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities. Fair market values for these assets are based on quoted vendor prices and broker pricing where all significant inputs are observable.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

     The Company’s Level 3 assets include an other U.S. government agency security and two mortgage-backed securities. The fair market values of these investments were determined by broker pricing where not all significant inputs were observable.

     In valuing assets and liabilities, the Company is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company did not significantly change its valuation techniques from prior periods.

     Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

     In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

     As of December 31, 2010, marketable securities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs was comprised of a $0.7 million U.S. government agency security and $0.7 million of mortgage-backed securities within the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio. These securities were measured using observable market data and Level 3 inputs as a result of the lack of market activity

and liquidity. The fair value of these securities was based on the Company’s assessment of the underlying collateral and the creditworthiness of the issuer of the securities.

     Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

     The Company’s investments in non-marketable securities of private companies are accounted for using the cost method as the Company does not exert significant influence over the investee’s operating or financial activities. These investments as well as held-to-maturity securities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. In determining whether a decline in value of non-marketable equity investments in private companies has occurred and is other-than-temporary, an assessment is made by considering available evidence, including the general market conditions in the investee’s industry, the investee’s product development status and subsequent rounds of financing and the related valuation and/or the Company’s participation in such financings. The Company also assesses the investee’s ability to meet business milestones and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the individual investee, including the rate at which the investee is using its cash and the investee’s need for possible additional funding at a potentially lower valuation. The valuation methodology for determining the decline in value of non-marketable equity securities is based on inputs that require management judgment and are Level 3 inputs.

(4) Investments

     Investments consist principally of U.S. government and government agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities and are classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at December 31 and September 30, 2010. Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses net of tax excluded from operations and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, except for other-than-temporary impairments, which are reported as a charge to current operations. A loss would be recognized when there is an other-than-temporary impairment in the fair value of any individual security classified as available-for-sale with the associated net unrealized loss reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to other income (loss). This adjustment results in a new cost basis for the investment. Investments which management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. If there is an other-than-temporary impairment in the fair value of any individual security classified as held-to-maturity, the Company will write down the security to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to other income (loss). Interest on debt securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is included in other income (loss). Realized gains and losses from the sales of debt securities, which are included in other income (loss), are determined using the specific identification method.

     The original cost, unrealized holding gains and losses, and fair value of available-for-sale investments as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 were as follows (in thousands):

     The Company accounts for most of its strategic investments under the cost method. The Company accounts for its investment in OctoPlus N.V. (OctoPlus) common stock, whose shares are traded on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange, as an available-for-sale investment. Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, except for other-than-temporary impairments, which are reported as a charge to current operations, recorded in the other income (loss) section of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cost basis in the Company’s investment in OctoPlus is $1.7 million.

     The Company recognized revenue of less than $0.1 million for each of the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, from activity with companies in which it had a strategic investment.

(7) Intangible Assets

     Intangible assets consist principally of acquired patents and technology, customer relationships, licenses, and trademarks. The Company recorded amortization expense of $0.4 million in each of the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

     Intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

		Useful life				December 31,				September 30,
		(in years)				2010				2010
Customer list			9 — 11			$	8,657			$	8,657
Core technology			8 — 18				8,330				8,330

Remainder of 2011		$	1,158
2012			1,544
2013			1,544
2014			1,544
2015			1,533
2016			1,395

     Future amortization amounts presented above are estimates. Actual future amortization expense may be different, as a result of future acquisitions, impairments, changes in amortization periods, or other factors.

(8) Goodwill

     The following table summarizes the changes in carrying amount of goodwill (in thousands):

Balance at September 30, 2010		$	8,010
Accrued liability related to prior business acquisitions			4,900
Payments related to prior business acquisitions			750
Goodwill impairment			(5,650	)
Balance at December 31, 2010		$	8,010

     Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquired entities over the fair value assigned to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed in connection with the Company’s acquisitions. The carrying amount of goodwill is evaluated annually, and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired.

     During the Company’s fiscal 2010 annual test of goodwill impairment, the Company determined that goodwill related to the SurModics Pharmaceutical, Inc. (SurModics Pharma) reporting unit was fully impaired and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge totaling $13.8 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010

     In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, two milestones were achieved associated with the July 2007 acquisition of SurModics Pharma and $5.7 million of additional purchase price was recorded as an increase to goodwill. There have been no substantial changes in operating results for SurModics Pharma in fiscal 2011 and as such the Company concluded the goodwill associated with these milestone events was fully impaired as well and a $5.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

(9) Revolving Credit Facility

     In February 2009, the Company entered into a two-year $25.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the credit facility, if any, will bear interest at a benchmark rate plus an applicable margin based upon the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA ratio. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no debt outstanding under the credit facility. In connection with the credit facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial and nonfinancial covenants. The Company was not in compliance with certain covenants in fiscal 2010, however, the Company is in compliance with all covenants for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is working with the bank to obtain waivers for certain fiscal 2010 covenants and expects to complete these activities by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company believes that noncompliance will not cause liquidity issues given the Company’s investment holdings and cash generated by operations.

(10) Stock-based Compensation

     The Company has stock-based compensation plans under which it grants stock options and restricted stock awards. Accounting guidance requires all share-based payments to be recognized as an operating expense, based on their fair values, over the requisite service period. The Company’s stock-based compensation expenses were allocated as follows (in thousands):

		Three months ended
		December 31,
		2010				2009
Product costs		$	51			$	35
Customer research and development			94				153
Other research and development			209				615
Selling, general and administrative			620				732
Total		$	974			$	1,535

     As of December 31, 2010, approximately $7.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3 years. The unrecognized compensation costs above exclude $2.0 million associated with performance share awards that are currently not anticipated to be fully expensed because the performance conditions for certain award periods are not expected to be met.

Stock Option Plans

     The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted. The weighted average per share fair value of stock options granted during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $3.91 and $8.40, respectively. The assumptions used as inputs in the model were as follows:

		Three months ended
		December 31,
		2010				2009
Risk-free interest rates			1.4	%			1.8	%
Expected life (years)			4.8				4.8
Expected volatility			44.9	%			41.4	%
Dividend yield			0				0	%

     The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury’s rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award. The expected life of options granted is determined based on the Company’s experience. Expected volatility is based on the Company’s stock price movement over a period approximating the expected term. Based on management’s judgment, dividend rates are expected to be zero for the expected life of the options. The Company also estimates forfeitures of options granted, which are based on historical experience.

     The Company’s Incentive Stock Options (ISO) are granted at a price of at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock of the Company on the date of the grant or 110% with respect to optionees who own more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock. ISOs expire in seven years or upon termination of employment and are exercisable at a rate of 20% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options expire in 7 to 10 years or upon termination of employment or service as a Board member. Nonqualified stock options granted prior to May 2008 generally become exercisable with respect to 20% of the shares on each of the first five anniversaries following the grant date, and nonqualified stock options granted subsequent to May 2008 generally become exercisable with respect to 25% on each of the first four anniversaries following the grant date.

     No stock options were exercised during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010. The total pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 was not meaningful as the Company’s stock price of $22.60 on December 31, 2009 was below the value of options exercised earlier in the quarter. The intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the last day of the respective fiscal period end.

Restricted Stock Awards

     The Company has entered into restricted stock agreements with certain key employees, covering the issuance of common stock (Restricted Stock). Under accounting guidance these shares are considered to be non-vested shares. The Restricted Stock will be released to the key employees if they are employed by the Company at the end of the vesting period. The stock-based compensation table above includes Restricted Stock expenses of $0.2 million and $0.3 million during three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Performance Share Awards

     The Company has entered into performance share agreements with certain key employees, covering the issuance of common stock (Performance Shares). The Performance Shares vest upon the achievement of all or a portion of certain performance objectives, which must be achieved during the performance period. Compensation is recognized in each period based on management’s best estimate of the achievement level of the grants’ specified performance objectives and the resulting vesting amounts. The Company recognized expenses of approximately $0.1 million related to Performance Shares for each of the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     Under the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Stock Purchase Plan”), the Company is authorized to issue up to 400,000 shares of common stock. All full-time and part-time employees can choose to have up to 10% of their annual compensation withheld, with a limit of $25,000, to purchase the Company’s common stock at purchase prices defined within the provisions of the Stock Purchase Plan. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were $0.4 million and $0.5 million of employee contributions, respectively, included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Stock compensation expense recognized related to the Stock Purchase Plan for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $0.1 million in each period. The stock-based compensation table above includes the Stock Purchase Plan expenses.

(11) Restructuring Charges

     The Company recorded total restructuring charges of approximately $1.2 million in connection with the reorganization announced in October 2010. The charges for fiscal 2011 have been presented separately as restructuring charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These pre-tax charges consisted of $1.2 million of severance pay and benefit expenses and $0.1 million of facility-related costs. The restructuring is expected to result in approximately $3.0 to $3.5 million in annualized cost savings. Cash payments associated with the fiscal 2011 restructuring event totaled $0.8 million as of December 31, 2010 leaving a balance of $0.5 million. There were also payments of $0.1 million associated with facility-related costs in the period related to the fiscal 2009 and 2010 restructuring events. The remaining balance for all restructuring charges is expected to be paid within the next 36 months. The current portion totaling $1.3 million is recorded as a current liability within other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion totaling $0.2 million is recorded as a long-term liability within other long-term liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

     The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual activity for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

		Employee				Facility-
		severance and				related
		benefits				costs				Total
Balance at September 30, 2010		$	4			$	1,179			$	1,183
Accruals during the period			1,174				62				1,236
Cash payments			(805	)			(133	)			(938	)
Balance at December 31, 2010		$	373			$	1,108			$	1,481

(12) Comprehensive (Loss) Income

     The components of comprehensive (loss) income are as follows (in thousands):

		Three months ended
		December 31,
		2010				2009
Net (loss) income		$	(6,171	)		$	1,917
Other comprehensive loss:
Unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale securities arising during the period			(187	)			(512	)
Less reclassification adjustment for realized gains included in net income, net of tax			—				—
Other comprehensive loss			(187	)			(512	)
Comprehensive (loss) income		$	(6,358	)		$	1,405

(13) Income Taxes

     The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 was not meaningful because a tax expense was recorded on a pretax loss. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 was 37.5%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three-months ended December 31, 2010 reflects the impact of permanent tax items and a discrete tax benefit discussed below. For the three-months ended December 31, 2009 the difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate reflects state income taxes.

     The December adoption of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010, retroactively extended the term of the federal tax credit for research activities to the beginning of calendar 2010 and extending the credit through the end of calendar 2011. The Company recognized a discrete benefit of approximately $0.1 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 related to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. The tax credit recognized for research activities for each of the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, was less than $0.1 million.

     The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively, are $2.0 million and $1.9 million. Currently, the Company does not expect the liability for unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.

     The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, in the United States (U.S.) federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions. Uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination. The Internal Revenue Service has commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax return for fiscal 2009 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. U.S. tax returns for fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities. Tax returns for state and local jurisdictions for fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 through 2009 remain subject to examination by state and local tax authorities.

(14) Operating Segments

     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.

     The Company manages its revenue according to its three business units, as follows: (1) the Medical Device unit, which is comprised of surface modification coating technologies to improve access, deliverability, and predictable deployment of medical devices, as well as drug delivery coating technologies to provide site-specific drug delivery from the surface of a medical device. End markets include coronary, peripheral, and neuro-vascular, and urology, among others; (2) the Pharmaceuticals unit, which incorporates a broad range of drug delivery technologies for injectable therapeutics, including microparticles, nanoparticles, and implants addressing a range of clinical applications including ophthalmology, oncology, dermatology and neurology, among others. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, the Pharmaceuticals business includes the Company’s cGMP manufacturing facility; and (3) the In Vitro Diagnostics unit, which consists of component products and technologies for diagnostic test kits and biomedical research applications. Products include microarray slide technologies, protein stabilization reagents, substrates, and antigens.

     The Company manages its expenses on a company-wide basis, as many costs and activities are shared among the business units. The focus of the business units is providing solutions to customers and maximizing financial performance over the long term. The table below presents revenue from the business units, for the three-month periods in fiscal 2011 and 2010, as follows (in thousands):

		Three months ended
		December 31,
		2010				2009
Medical Device		$	9,808			$	11,514
Pharmaceuticals			2,673				3,581
In Vitro Diagnostics			2,687				2,286
Total revenue		$	15,168			$	17,381

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

     Litigation. From time to time, the Company has been, and may become, involved in various legal actions involving its operations, products and technologies, including intellectual property and employment disputes. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within the Company’s complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, the claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, including injunctions barring the sale of products that are the subject of the lawsuit, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures or result in lost revenues. The Company records a liability in the consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is possible but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded.

     InnoRx, Inc. In January 2005, the Company entered into a merger agreement whereby SurModics acquired all of the assets of InnoRx, Inc. (InnoRx), an early stage company developing drug delivery devices and therapies for the ophthalmology market. SurModics will be required to issue up to approximately 480,059 additional shares of its common stock to the stockholders of InnoRx upon the successful completion of the remaining development and commercial milestones involving InnoRx technology acquired in the transaction.

     SurModics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In July 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of SurModics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SurModics Pharma) a drug delivery company that provides proprietary polymer-based technologies to companies developing pharmaceutical products. The sellers of SurModics Pharma are still eligible to receive up to $2.9 million in additional consideration based on successful achievement of specified milestones through calendar 2011.

     PR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In November 2008, the Company’s subsidiary SurModics Pharma acquired certain contracts and assets of PR Pharmaceuticals, to enhance its portfolio of drug delivery technologies for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The sellers of PR Pharmaceuticals are still eligible to receive up to $3.0 million in additional consideration based on successful achievement of specific milestones for successful patent issuances and product development.

     Alabama Jobs Commitment. In April 2008, the Company purchased a 286,000 square foot office and warehouse facility to support cGMP needs of customers and the anticipated growth of the SurModics Pharma business. At the same time, SurModics Pharma entered into an agreement with various governmental authorities to obtain financial incentives associated with creation of jobs in Alabama. Some of the governmental agencies have recapture rights in connection with the financial incentives if a specific number of full-time employees are not hired by June 2012, with an extension to June 2013 if circumstances or events occur that are beyond the control of SurModics Pharma or could not have been reasonably anticipated by SurModics Pharma. As of December 31, 2010, SurModics Pharma has received $1.7 million in connection with the agreement, and the Company has recorded the payment in other long-term liabilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is useful in understanding our operating results, cash flows and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with both the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q/A, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010. This discussion contains various “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We refer readers to the statement entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” located at the end of Part I of this report.

Overview

     SurModics is a leading provider of drug delivery and surface modification technologies to the healthcare industry. In October 2010, we announced a change in our organizational structure moving from a functional structure into one consisting of three business units: Medical Device, Pharmaceuticals, and In Vitro Diagnostics. We believe this structure improves the visibility, marketing and adoption of the Company’s broad array of technologies within specific markets and helps our customers in the medical device, pharmaceutical and life science industries better solve unmet clinical needs.

     The organizational change resulted in the Company now presenting revenue as follows: (1) the Medical Device unit, which is comprised of surface modification coating technologies to improve access, deliverability, and predictable deployment of medical devices, as well as drug delivery coating technologies to provide site-specific drug delivery from the surface of a medical device. End markets include coronary, peripheral, and neuro-vascular, and urology, among others; (2) the Pharmaceuticals unit, which incorporates a broad range of drug delivery technologies for injectable therapeutics, including microparticles, nanoparticles, and implants addressing a range of clinical applications including ophthalmology, oncology, dermatology and neurology, among others. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, the Pharmaceuticals business includes our cGMP manufacturing facility; and (3) the In Vitro Diagnostics unit, which consists of component products and technologies for diagnostic test kits and biomedical research applications. Products include microarray slide technologies, protein stabilization reagents, substrates, and antigens.

     The Company’s revenue is derived from three primary sources: (1) royalties and license fees from licensing our proprietary drug delivery and surface modification technologies to customers; the vast majority (typically in excess of 90%) of revenue in the “royalties and license fees” category is in the form of royalties; (2) the sale of polymers and reagent chemicals, stabilization products, antigens, substrates and microarray slides to the diagnostics and biomedical research industry; and (3) research and development (R&D) fees generated on customer projects. Revenue fluctuates from quarter to quarter depending on, among other factors: our customers’ success in selling products incorporating our technologies; the timing of introductions of licensed products by customers; the timing of introductions of products that compete with our customers’ products; the number and activity level associated with customer development projects; the number and terms of new license agreements that are finalized; the value of reagent chemicals and other products sold to customers; and the timing of future acquisitions we complete, if any.

     On October 5, 2009, we entered into a License and Development Agreement with F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. (“Roche”) and Genentech, Inc., a wholly owned member of the Roche Group (“Genentech”). Under the terms of the agreement, Roche and Genentech will have an exclusive license to develop and commercialize a sustained drug delivery formulation of Lucentis^® (ranibizumab injection) utilizing SurModics’ proprietary biodegradable microparticles drug delivery system. We received an up-front licensing fee of $3.5 million and are eligible to receive potential payments of up to approximately $200 million in fees and milestone payments in the event of the successful development and commercialization of multiple products, as well as payment for development work done on these products. Roche and Genentech will have the right to obtain manufacturing services from SurModics. In the event a commercial product is developed, we will also receive royalties on sales of such product. During fiscal 2010 and continuing into fiscal 2011, the focus of our development activities has changed, primarily as a result of technical issues experienced in the Lucentis^® microparticle product development program. Such technical issues reflect the inherent challenges often experienced in the development of new or reformulated pharmaceutical products. We are continuing to collaborate with Genentech under our agreement on sustained drug delivery products utilizing our proprietary biodegradable microparticle drug delivery system. However, the program remains subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those detailed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

     In addition, in December 2010, we announced that the Board of Directors of the Company had authorized the Company to explore strategic alternatives for our Pharmaceuticals business, including a potential sale of that business. This decision by the Board reflects our focus on returning the Company to profitable growth, and our renewed commitment to pursuing growth opportunities and investments in our Medical Device and In Vitro Diagnostics businesses. We have retained Piper Jaffray & Co. as our financial advisor in connection with this process. We have made no decision to enter into any transaction regarding the Pharmaceuticals business, and there can be no assurance that we will enter into such a transaction in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies

     Critical accounting policies are those policies that require the application of management’s most challenging subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties that are sufficiently likely to result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. For a detailed description of our critical accounting policies, see the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.

Results of Operations

		Three Months Ended
		December 31,				December 31,				Increase
(Dollars in thousands)		2010				2009				(Decrease)				Change
Revenue:
Medical Device		$	9,808			$	11,514			$	(1,706	)			(15	)%
Pharmaceuticals			2,673				3,581				(908	)			(25	)%
In Vitro Diagnostics			2,687				2,286				401				18	%
Total revenue		$	15,168			$	17,381			$	(2,213	)			(13	)%

     Revenue. Revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $15.2 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 13%, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in revenue, as detailed in the table above, is further explained in the narrative below.

     Medical Device. Revenue in Medical Device was $9.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, a decrease of 15% compared with $11.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in total revenue reflects lower royalties and licenses fees and lower R&D revenue, partially offset by higher product sales. Our royalty revenue from Cordis decreased as a result of 40% lower CYPHER^® stent sales.

     Medical Device derives a substantial amount of revenue from royalties and license fees and product sales attributable to Cordis Corporation, a Johnson & Johnson company, on its CYPHER^® Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent. The CYPHER^® stent incorporates a proprietary SurModics polymer coating that delivers a therapeutic drug designed to reduce the occurrence of restenosis in coronary artery lesions. The CYPHER^® stent faces continuing competition from Boston Scientific, Medtronic and Abbott Laboratories. Stents from these companies compete directly with the CYPHER^® stent both domestically and internationally. For the last several years, royalty revenue and reagent product sales have decreased as a result of lower CYPHER^® stent sales. We anticipate that royalty revenue from the CYPHER^® stent is likely to decrease in fiscal 2011 and beyond as the various marketers of drug-eluting stents compete, and as others enter the marketplace. We also receive a royalty on sales of delivery systems used to deliver the Medtronic Endeavor^® and Endeavor^® Resolute drug-eluting stents. These stent delivery systems incorporate our proprietary hydrophilic technology and are sold in the United States and internationally.

     Pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals revenue was $2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 25%, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease principally reflects lower R&D revenue, as well as lower product sales. While the Pharmaceuticals business unit continues to experience softness in the R&D environment, certain R&D customers have increased activity in recent months. However, there continues to be select customers that have delayed, slowed or cancelled development projects as a result of various factors, including current economic conditions.

     In Vitro Diagnostics. Revenue in In Vitro Diagnostics was $2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 18% compared with $2.3 million in the prior-year period. This increase was attributable to higher sales of our BioFX branded products and higher antigen sales, partially offset by lower microarray slide sales.

     Product costs. Product costs were $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $2.0 million in the prior-year period. The $0.2 million decrease in product costs principally reflects the mix of products sold. Overall product margins averaged 62%, compared with 57% reported last year.

     Customer research and development expenses. Customer research and development (“Customer R&D”) expenses were $4.7 million, an increase of 42% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase principally reflects the fixed overhead costs attributable to our Alabama research and development operations, including our current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) manufacturing facility. Customer R&D margins were negative 68%, compared with positive 9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

     Other research and development expenses. Other research and development (“Other R&D”) expenses were $2.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, a decrease of 55% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease is primarily a result of therapeutic grant income recognized (which is recorded as a reduction of expenses) of approximately $0.8 million associated with awards received under the federal qualified therapeutic discovery project program and the impact of lower labor costs resulting from the October 2010 organizational changes.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 13% compared with $4.6 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to non-recurring advisory services expenses related to the 2011 Annual Meeting of shareholders and higher variable compensation costs.

     Goodwill impairment charge. In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded a $5.7 million goodwill impairment charge associated with our SurModics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SurModics Pharma) reporting unit. Two milestone events were achieved during the quarter associated with the July 2007 acquisition of SurModics Pharma and $5.7 million of additional purchase price was recorded as an increase to goodwill. There have been no substantial changes in operating results for SurModics Pharma in fiscal 2011 when compared with fiscal 2010 and as such we concluded the goodwill associated with the milestone events was fully impaired. There may be additional earn-out milestone payments in the future and if operations do not improve for the SurModics Pharma reporting unit, there could be additional goodwill impairments.

     Restructuring charges. In October 2010, we announced initiatives to reduce our cost structure and renew our focus on business units to more closely match operations and cost structure with the current customer environment. As a result of the organization change, we eliminated 30 positions, or approximately 13% of our workforce. These employee terminations occurred across various functions, and the reorganization plan was completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The reorganization also resulted in SurModics vacating a leased production facility in Birmingham, Alabama with the production activities relocated to one of our owned facilities in Birmingham.

     We recorded total restructuring charges of $1.2 million in connection with the reorganization. These pre-tax charges consisted of $1.2 million of severance pay and benefits expenses and less than $0.1 million of facility-related costs. Costs totaling $0.8 million have been paid, and we anticipate paying the remaining $0.4 million within the next twelve months.

     Other income, net. Other income was $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Income from investments was $0.2 million, compared with $0.3 million in the prior-year period. The decrease primarily reflects lower yields on our investment balances.

     Income tax provision. The income tax provision was $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 was not meaningful because a tax expense was recorded on a pretax loss. The effective tax rate was 37.5% in the prior-year period. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 reflects the impact of permanent tax items and a discrete tax benefit associated with extension of the term of the federal tax credit for research activities. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 the difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate reflects state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Operating Activities. As of December 31, 2010, we had working capital of $25.8 million, of which $24.5 million consisted of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Working capital decreased $4.0 million from the September 30, 2010 level, driven principally by an increase in accrued liabilities associated with a $4.9 million milestone payment obligation related to the 2007 SurModics Pharma acquisition, offset somewhat by higher cash and short-term investment balances. Our cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments totaled $59.7 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $2.9 million from $56.8 million at September 30, 2010. Our investments principally consist of U.S. government and government agency obligations and investment grade, interest-bearing corporate debt securities with varying maturity dates, the majority of which are five years or less. Our policy requires that no more than 5% of investments be held in any one credit issue, excluding U.S. government and government agency obligations. The primary investment objective of the portfolio is to provide for the safety of principal and appropriate liquidity while meeting or exceeding a benchmark (Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Government-Corporate Index) total rate of return. Management continues to direct its investment advisors to manage the investments primarily for the safety of principal for the foreseeable future as it assesses other investment opportunities and uses of its investments.

     We had cash flows from operating activities of approximately $5.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $8.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2010. The decrease compared with prior-year results primarily reflects lower operating

results in fiscal 2011 as well as the fiscal 2010 receipt of a $3.5 million up-front licensing fee from Genentech associated with a license and development agreement.

     Investing Activities. We invested $1.4 million in property and equipment in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $3.6 million in the prior-year period. The lower property and equipment investment in fiscal 2011 is a return to more historical investment levels. Fiscal 2010 investment reflects higher spending associated with the final phase of completion of the Birmingham, Alabama cGMP facility. In addition, both fiscal periods included $0.8 million milestone payments associated with the SurModics Pharmaceuticals acquisition in July 2007.

     Financing Activities. In November 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $35.0 million of the Company’s common stock in open-market transactions, private transactions, tender offers, or other transactions. The repurchase authorization does not have a fixed expiration date. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2010. Under the current authorization, we have $5.3 million remaining available for share repurchases at December 31, 2010.

     As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no debt outstanding under our $25 million unsecured revolving credit facility. In connection with the credit facility, we are required to maintain certain financial and nonfinancial covenants. We were not in compliance with certain covenants in fiscal 2010, however, we are in compliance with all covenants for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. We are working with the bank to obtain waivers for certain fiscal 2010 covenants and expect to complete these activities by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011. We believe that noncompliance will not cause liquidity issues given our investment holdings and cash generated by operations.

     We do not have any other credit agreements and believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, together with cash flow from operations, will provide liquidity sufficient to meet the below stated needs and fund our operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that SurModics’ business will continue to generate cash flows at current levels, and disruptions in financial markets may negatively impact our ability to access capital in a timely manner and on attractive terms, if at all. Our anticipated liquidity needs for the remainder of fiscal 2011 include, but are not limited to, the following: general capital expenditures in the range of $2.5 million to $4.0 million; contingent consideration payments, related to our acquisitions of SurModics Pharma of $4.9 million, as well as the purchase of certain assets from PR Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and any amounts associated with the repurchase of common stock under the authorization discussed above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

     As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with any unconsolidated entities.

Forward-Looking Statements

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include expectations concerning our growth strategy, product development programs, future cash flow and sources of funding, short-term liquidity requirements, the impact of potential lawsuits or claims, and the impact of the Cordis and Genentech agreements, as well as other significant customer agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “project,” “will” and similar terminology, generally identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may also represent challenging goals for us. These statements, which represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs concerning various future events, are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those of such forward-looking statements. We caution that undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Some of the factors which could cause results to differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statement are set forth under Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q/A. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.

     Although it is not possible to create a comprehensive list of all factors that may cause actual results to differ from the Company’s forward-looking statements, such factors include, among others:

•

our ability to successfully identify, negotiate, sign and close a potential strategic transaction related to our Pharmaceuticals business;

•

the inability to realize the anticipated benefits of any potential transaction regarding our Pharmaceuticals business, if consummated, or of our other recent cost savings initiatives;

•

the potential adverse impact to our business as a result of our announcement to pursue strategic alternatives for our

Pharmaceuticals business;

•

the Company’s reliance on a small number of significant customers, which causes our financial results and stock price to be subject to factors affecting those significant customers and their products, the timing of market introduction of their or competing products, product safety or efficacy concerns and intellectual property litigation could adversely affect our growth strategy and the royalty revenue we derive;

•

general economic conditions which are beyond our control, including the impact of recession, business investment and changes in consumer confidence;

•

the Company’s change in its organizational structure may not increase the number of market segments and applications that use its technologies;

•

a decrease in the Company’s available cash or the value of its investment holdings could impact short-term liquidity requirements;

•

the difficulties and uncertainties associated with the lengthy and costly new product development and foreign and domestic regulatory approval processes, such as delays, difficulties or failures in achieving acceptable clinical results or obtaining foreign or FDA marketing clearances or approvals, which may result in lost market opportunities or postpone or preclude product commercialization by licensees;

•

the development of new products or technologies by competitors, technological obsolescence and other changes in competitive factors;

•

the Company’s ability to successfully internally perform certain product development activities and governmental and regulatory compliance activities which the Company has not previously undertaken in any significant manner; and

•

other factors described below in “Risk Factors” and other sections of SurModics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K, which you are encouraged to read carefully.

     Many of these factors are outside the control and knowledge of the Company, and could result in increased volatility in period-to-period results. Investors are advised not to place undue reliance upon the Company’s forward-looking statements and to consult any further disclosures by the Company on this subject in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company’s investment policy requires the Company to invest in high credit quality issuers and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company’s investments principally consist of U.S. government and government agency obligations and investment-grade, interest-bearing corporate debt securities with varying maturity dates, the majority of which are five years or less. Because of the credit criteria of the Company’s investment policies, the primary market risk associated with these investments is interest rate risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk or to speculate on future changes in interest rates. A one percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an approximate $0.8 million decrease in the fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities as of December 31, 2010, but no material impact on the results of operations or cash flows. Management believes that a reasonable change in raw material prices would not have a material impact on future earnings or cash flows because the Company’s inventory exposure is not material.

     Although we conduct business in foreign countries, all sales transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we do not expect to be subject to material foreign currency risk with respect to future costs or cash flows from our foreign sales. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer originally concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely

decisions regarding required disclosures.

     In connection with the Company’s preparation of the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2010, to which this Form 10-Q/A relates, the Company determined that the conditions associated with a $4.9 million milestone payment obligation related to the July 2007 acquisition of SurModics Pharmaceuticals had not been met. On April 25, 2011, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011, the Company determined that it should have recorded the additional $4.9 million milestone payment obligation in the quarterly period ended December 31, 2010, and an associated increase to goodwill in the Pharmaceuticals reporting unit, as the conditions associated with that milestone were determined to have been satisfied as of December 31, 2010. The Company further determined that this additional goodwill should be impaired, as the operating performance of the Pharmaceuticals reporting unit did not support continuing recognition of the goodwill asset.

     After evaluating the events that led to the need for the restatement, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded on April 25, 2011 that the design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was effective but that in this instance, a material weakness occurred in the operation of such controls and procedures for determining milestone payment obligations related to the acquisition of SurModics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. As a result, the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2010. The Company has taken action to remediate the controls and procedures for determining milestone payment obligations related to the acquisition of SurModics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to ensure such controls and procedures operate effectively.

Changes in Internal Controls

     There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
