Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby amends its Current Report on Form 8-K, event date March 31, 2006, in order to provide the financial statements and pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of the Form 8-K, relating to the consummation of the Company’s acquisition of the assets of ACON Laboratories’ business of researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling lateral flow immunoassay and directly-related products in the United States, Canada, Europe (excluding Russia, the former Soviet Republics that are not part of the European Union, Spain, Portugal and Turkey), Israel, Australia, Japan and New Zealand (the “Product Line”) on March 31, 2006.

ITEM 9.01             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

a)             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESS TO BE ACQUIRED

The audited statements of net assets sold of the Lateral Flow Product Line of ACON Laboratories, Inc. and affiliates as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of revenue and direct expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, are contained in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

The above described financial statements constitute less than a full set of financial statements. The Product Line is neither a legal entity nor has it historically been operated as a separate business and, except for the above described financial statements, no separate financial statements for the Product Line have been historically prepared or audited. The assets and liabilities associated with the Product Line were components of a significantly larger business and, as a result, separate statements of operations and separate asset and liability accounts for the Product Line were not historically maintained. Because separate statements of operations and separate asset and liability accounts were not historically maintained, it is impracticable to prepare a full carve-out balance sheet for the Product Line and, alternatively, a statement of net assets sold has instead been presented. The statements of revenue and direct expenses for the periods indicated above reflect all costs directly involved with the revenue producing activities of the Product Line and exclude only costs not directly associated or objectively allocable, such as corporate overhead, interest and taxes.

b)            PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005, and the three-month period ended March 31, 2006, all giving pro forma effect to the Company’s acquisition of the Product Line, are contained in Exhibit 99.3 attached hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

The assets and liabilities of the Product Line as of March 31, 2006 are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet dated March 31, 2006, as filed in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2006.
