Thank you, Judy, and good afternoon everyone. Thank you all for joining us on our call this afternoon. I am pleased to report that results for the second quarter exceeded our guidance range on both the top and bottom lines. Consolidated revenues were up almost 20% compared to the second quarter of 2011, primarily as a result of DNA Genotek. As many of you know the most significant development in the second quarter was the receipt of FDA approval of our OraQuick In-Home HIV Test which was covered extensively in the media. I will provide an update on our commercialization efforts for this exciting new product as well as certain other developments in our business. But before I do that, let me turn the call over to Ron for an overview of our financial results.

Okay. Thanks, Doug, and good afternoon everyone. Our second quarter 2012 revenues were $22.6 million compared to $19.1 million reported in 2011. Revenues for the current quarter included $3.3 million from our molecular diagnostic collection subsidiary, DNA Genotek acquired in August 2011. Our product revenues increased 19% as a result of the molecular collection systems sales and higher sales of our cryosurgical systems products. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of our infectious disease, substance abuse and insurance risk assessment products. Our infectious disease testing revenues were $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. The overall 8% decrease was primarily a result of lower domestic OraQuick HIV sales, partially offset by higher sales into the international market and by higher OraQuick HCV sales. Domestic HIV revenues were down $1.6 million year-over-year or 16% due to various factors including changes in public health testing programs, reductions in government funding, some lost business due to price competition and timing of certain orders. Our HCV revenues were $954,000 for the quarter, a $712, 000 increase over the second quarter of 2011. HCV revenues were also sequentially up from Q1 of 2012. In our substance abuse testing area, revenues decreased to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, primarily as a result of lower intercept sales. This decrease was the result of a reduction in purchases by our largest domestic laboratory distributor who began selling its own competitive oral fluid drug testing system at the end of 2011, and lower international sales due to reduction in our UK distributors target inventory levels. Second quarter 2012 cryo revenues increased 61% compared to the second quarter of 2011, primarily as a result of…

Thanks, Ron. Now that our OraQuick In-Home HIV Test has been approved, we are focused on delivering a successful commercial launch. We continue to implement our distribution and sales strategy and we expect that the In-Home Test will be available in more than 30,000 retail outlets beginning in October. As previously explained, we anticipate achieving a greater than 85% all commodity volume for this initial placement. All commodity or ACV represents the dollar value share that these stores represent out of the total market potential for our product. In addition to retailers such as Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and Kroger, we have expanded our retail relationships to include Duane Reade, online retailers such as drugstore.com, large drug wholesalers such as McKesson and AmerisourceBergen, and certain regional food retailers. We are working closely with retailers to develop promotional plans for our product including placement and advertising circulars, store and shelf-signage, pharmacy displays and internet ads. While the retailers will have the final say on pricing for our product once it is available in October, we anticipate the retail price for our OraQuick In-Home HIV Test to be approximately $39. We have activated a temporary website currently available at www.oraquick.com to provide high-level information about the product and its future availability. A more comprehensive website will be activated in late September and will provide additional information about HIV and AIDS and our product, and will offer consumers the opportunity to purchase our product online. We are now finalizing our advertising campaign which will reach populations that have expressed high purchase intent, such as men who have sex with men or MSM, African-Americans, Latino Americans and sexually active adults ages 18 to 49. Additionally, our media plans will enable our ads to be broadly seen by consumers outside of these populations who…

(Operator Instructions) Our first question is from Charles Duncan of JMP Securities. Your line is open.

This is [Ray] in for Charles. Thanks for taking the question. A quick question on the HCV screening guidelines from the CDC that are coming up. The initiatives you guys have announced are pretty impressive. What do you think the market opportunity is in the population covered by these CDC guidelines and what do you expect to be outside the guidelines?

So the draft CDC guidelines were issued and the comment period for response to those draft guidelines closed in early June. Our expectation is that we will see the revised guidelines sometimes soon, hopefully it will be within weeks but certainly we would expect sometime during this quarter, the third quarter. This is really a critical step in terms of expanding hepatitis C testing here in the United States. I mean obviously the fact that 80 million or so individuals were born between 1945 and 1965, highlights the significant population that these guidelines are directed toward. The prevalence of hepatitis C within this population of 3.25% is significant and we know that the government is focused on this because they believe that implementation of the guidelines will mean a very high yield of newly diagnosed chronically hepatitis C patients who are candidates for therapy, who can go on therapy and be cured and reduce not only the public health impact of this disease but also the growing economic burden that later stage chronically infected patients represent to the healthcare system. So this is a win-win-win for everybody. And I think -- I know that the federal government officials are focused on this, they are committed to this. Obviously, we are looking forward to seeing increased funding being made available to jurisdictions as a result of this, the grant that was made or the request for proposals that went out to the public health community earlier this year. We expect those are going to be awarded here before the end of September, and that should have an impact for our business in the fourth quarter. Obviously that’s just the beginning of what we would hope will be significantly increased funding for hepatitis C prevention.

Thank you. If I would ask a follow-up on international HCV. Could you remind me -- sorry for the naïve question, but remind me the how the test has sold ex-U.S. Is it also considered kind of clear wave test? Is it available over the counter? I am sure it differs market to market but in most of the international markets, what's the usage like? Is it public health, things like that? Thank you.

So internationally it’s also through distribution. It is not sold over the counter it’s only available in the professional market. And the primary purchasers have been for more public health applications.

Thank you. Our next question is from [Mark Nelson] of ThinkEquity. Your line is open.

Hi, this is [Mary]. I just have a quick question about the impact you observed, if any as a result of the recent HIV government sponsored testing initiative in terms of giving you a firmer, or a more tangible figure for the actual size of the end-user market upon the launch of HIV test.

I am sorry, Mary, you broke up partway through your question, so it was...?

Well, just with the recent government sponsored testing initiatives. We are wondering if that’s giving you a firmer number as far as how big the HIV testing market will be upon launch. Did that shed any light on it, those initiatives that have been happening recently?

Are you talking specifically about the pharmacy testing initiatives that was discussed?

Yeah.

Okay. Great. Thanks for the question. That initiative is a pilot program to evaluate whether pharmacist -- whether it’s an effective deployment model for pharmacist to actually administer our professional test in a retail pharmacy. It is not related to our over the counter HIV test which will be on shelf in the retail pharmacy. This is a two or three year pilot program. It was rolled out I believe in either 25 or 40 pharmacies across the country. I don’t think that we will get any kind of information from that which would give us any indication how our over the counter HIV test is going to be deployed. I think the government, CDC and others are looking for as many ways as we can possibly make HIV testing available to consumers and this is just another deployment model that is being evaluated. And you should know that virtually all of these sites, they are using the OraQuick HIV Test both because it’s so simple to administer as well as the oral fluid application makes it ideal for that kind of an application.

Thank you. And then maybe just following up to that. What are your expectations for second half in regards to the factors that will figure most prominently into the acceleration of the HIV market once it is launched? I mean you talked a lot about it. You talked about a lot of different things that you are doing but which ones do you think will figure most prominently?

Well, certainly the launch has been -- we will shipping to retailers in mid-September. The product will be available on shelf in and around October 1. And coincident with that we will begin all of our consumer communications strategies. So we won't realize the impact of that from a revenue perspective until the fourth quarter. When I get over with some of my comments maybe Ron can just talk about the revenue recognition component here because it’s going to be a little bit different where we are going to realize revenue as it scans at retail. But upon launch, we are going to be executing a pretty massive public relations campaign, both at the national as well as regional level. We are going to be leveraging targeted communications against those sub-populations that I mentioned, whether it’s MSM, whether it’s the Latino population or whether it’s the African American population. We are going to coincide a lot of that work with -- for example on September 27, the National Gay Mens’ HIV AIDS Awareness Day. On October 4, a lot of activity around African American outreach events. On October 15, the National Latino AIDS awareness day. So we have got a lot of activities that are coordinated with these other broader national recognition programs. Our retailers will also be activating there consumer communications strategies as well, through circulars that they put out on a weekly basis. That will began coincident with launch right around September 30. And they have a very broad reach. So Walgreens as an example, reaches about 65 million consumers; CVS about 55 million; Rite Aid about 30 million. And then each of the retailers will also be activating their own communication and promotional strategies with newsletters, with employee magazines, with shelf-signage, with health and wellness displays. At the same time we will be launching, as I mentioned in the script, some of our professional communication plans with physician journal ads in September and October with a pharmacist mailing in September. I mentioned our website, expanded website going live right at launch. So just extensive public relations and advertising campaigns directed to our target audience. And obviously that’s all going to be supported by the work I mentioned with the retailers. It’s going to be very exciting. We are going to see increased spending in the third and fourth quarter to support this, but the whole objective is to get out there so that we have an extremely successful launch in the fourth quarter carrying on into 2013 where we are going to see a big impact from this product. That’s the plan.

Thank you. Our next question is from Jeff Frelick of Canaccord. Your line is open.

Doug, so with respect to your market partnership, if a new pharma partner or something that you are going to pursue. Which should we, I guess kind of expect in any kind of new detailed strategy that you are seeking. How would that look, how would that evolve?

So as we have talked about before, the whole Merck relationship we are very pleased with. One of the challenges with it was that it did restrict our ability to work in a similar fashion with other potential partners. And equally important, there has been a perception amongst other potential pharma partners that we could not work with them at all. And I think that’s had an impact. And so as we look to the future, we would prefer to have more of an open relationships and more flexibility to work with those potential partners that might make sense at any given time. And we know that the whole HCV space is pretty fluid right now. A key objective for us is to build awareness and drive adoption in the physician’s office and obviously I talked a little bit ago about the importance of the guideline change in helping us to do that. I can tell you the physician office distributors right now, the Henry Schein, PSS and McKesson, are all over this. They see a great opportunity for their organizations to build revenue in an area that they haven’t had access to before. And each of them are actively involved now in helping us to drive awareness in the segment. And those activities involved everything from making not only the OraQuick HCV but also the OraQuick HIV in combination an important part of their sales reps compensation. Driving direct mail program in both, not only July and August but in the months to come. Focusing on community health centers and federally qualified health centers. Developing custom information material promoting the probable issuance of these CDC guidelines and obviously they have got tremendous reach into the physician office market. So we are pretty encouraged by that. And then as we evaluate other opportunities to develop relationships with other pharmaceutical potential partners, we will be evaluating that as well. And when there’s something to report on that we will certainly share.

Do you think the distributor partners will be able to detail the HCV, HIV tests and close it with the physician office practices? Or do you think they will be required more to bring in the OraSure manufacture rep to detail and to close it?

I think it’s a combination of both -- I think in some cases they will be perfectly fine. I mean the good news is, as we have got the manufacturers reps right behind them working closely with them to assist in the follow-up and depending on the size of the group practice we can always work with our local reps too to assist in the effort. So in all cases, even when Merck was detailing the product, that demand was being fulfilled through the physician office distributor. And so, we think this is very efficient right now. And I can't emphasize enough, this represents incremental revenue to those physician office distributor reps. And so there is a nice incentive for them to drive this business.

Okay. And then just a quick follow-up for Ron. With respect to the 3Q guidance, basically flat sequentially. Maybe you can just kind of point to where you are basically displaying some caution. I am just kind of curious where do you think that is? Is it on the traditional HIV side or its it somewhere else?

It’s in different pockets of the business, Jeff. I would say that we still are going through with substance abuse, some of the impacts that we have had from one of our large laboratory distributors adopting a in-house product for drugs of abuse testing. That’s going to impact our revenues we believe in Q3 sequentially from Q2. We are not likely to see the same level of cryo business in Q3 as we did in Q2, particularly related to the over the counter contribution as you began to work through some of the seasonal effects in that business. And then, of course, as we have talked about previously, there are some headwinds in the infectious disease business and HIV related to, particularly government funding and the impact that it’s having on some of the testing initiatives at the various jurisdictions. And then if we go back all the way to DNA Genotek, that business given the high focus on research, there is typically a little bit of a lull in research funding and spending over the summer time and that typically is, that’s the historical pattern. So that’s where we would see the pockets of conservatism in the Q3 number.

(Operator Instructions) Our next question is a follow-up from Charles Duncan of JMP Securities. Your line is open.

Hi guys, just a quick follow up. I realize you have your hands pretty full with HIV and the HCV initiatives, but couple of questions. Do you have any plans for a clear waiver for the oral fluid for HCV and what's the outlook on that? And then kind of a nebulous question, I apologize if it’s hard to answer, but I guess outside of the home HIV and the clear wave HCV test, what do you see as the most compelling growth area for the company, if you had to pick one. Thank you.

All right. So relative to a clear wave refer on all fluid applications we first have to have the oral approval from the FDA and we haven’t yet gotten clarity on the path forward yet with the FDA on that. When we do have that, as I mentioned, I will share that. Relative to opportunities beyond HCV and the over the counter the opportunity here in the United States. We believe that there is many, so many that, we have talked about this previously. We have been doing some strategy work in terms of our next development priorities. Certainly this isn’t necessarily development priority but what we believe is a significant commercial opportunity, and that is to expand globally the availability of an in-home HIV test. Now we have done some preliminary market research as to what markets would be the likely next countries or regions that we would pursue in over the counter HIV test. We have had a number of direct enquires from different countries. We want to do a little bit more quantitative market research to make sure that we are real clear on what the unit demand -- we might expect as well as the pricing for an over the counter HIV test in the different geographies. And our objective is to work on that between now and the end of the year so that we can pursue this in earnest in 2013 on a priority basis. Now that we have created a roadmap for FDA approval of self-test for infectious disease, we are going to look at other opportunities including the possibility of home test for hepatitis C. More work needs to be done on that in terms of evaluating just what that market opportunity might look like in terms of units here in the United States. But now that we have got a road map I think there is no question we are going to evaluate that. And then we are looking at other opportunities, both in terms of internally developed products as well as constantly on the lookout for other products that might me complementary to our sales organizations that are calling on public health markets, calling on hospitals in the emergency department and the like. So we are not short on opportunities. We want to obviously execute on these investments that we have made and that we are in a great position to capitalize on right now. But we will say more about our development priorities as we look to 2013 and future calls.

Thank you. Thank you. That brings us to the end of the Q&A session of today's call. I will now like to turn the call over to Doug Michels for closing remarks.

Okay. I just want to thank you all again for being on the call this afternoon and your continued interest in the company. And we have got a lot of exciting things we are executing on and we look forward to updating on how that work goes in subsequent discussions. Have a great afternoon and evening everyone. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your participation in today's conference. This concludes the program. You may disconnect and have a wonderful day.
