Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
On July 6, 2012 Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc.

Under the Notes, the Company’s failure to make such payments may constitute events of default which may result in the acceleration of the Company’s obligation to repay the Principal Amount with accrued interest and penalties.
