SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 74838J101 Page 10 of 16 Pages
THIS AMENDMENT RESTATES AND AMENDS A SCHEDULE 13D AND THE AMENDMENTS THERETO
WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES AND ISSUER NAMED IN ITEM 1 BELOW. THE INITIAL
SCHEDULE 13D WAS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON OR ABOUT
FEBRUARY 8, 1991.
Item 1. Security and issuer.
This statement relates to the common stock, $.001 par value per share
(the "Common Stock"), of Quidel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"). The principal executive office of the Issuer is 10165 McKellar Court,
San Diego, California 92121.
Item 2. Identity and background.
This statement is filed pursuant to Reg. ss.13(d)-1(f)(1) by John
Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, a Massachusetts mutual life insurance
company ("Hancock"), John Hancock Subsidiaries, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Holding Company"), Hancock Venture Partners, Inc., which was formerly
named "John Hancock Venture Capital Management, Inc." ("Venture Partners"), John
Hancock Capital Growth Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Management
Company"), Gramercy Hill Partners, L.P. ("GHLP"), John Hancock Capital Growth
Fund III, L.P. ("Fund III"), Capital Growth Partners, L.P. ("CGLP") and John
Hancock Capital Growth Fund IIB, L.P. ("Fund IIB").
The principal offices and the principal business address of Hancock and
the Holding Company are P.O. Box 111, John Hancock Place, Boston, Massachusetts
02117. The principal office and the principal business address of Venture
Partners, GHLP, CGLP, Fund III and Fund IIB are One Financial Center, 44th floor
Boston, Massachusetts 02111. The principal office and principal business address
of the Management Company are 1140 Taylor Street, San Francisco, California
94108.
Hancock is a life insurance company in the United States, offering a
wide variety of individual and group life and health insurance policies,
individual annuities and group pension products and other financial services.
The Holding Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hancock and owns
various operating subsidiaries of Hancock. Venture Partners is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Holding Company and a registered investment adviser and, on
May 3, 1994, acquired all the capital stock of the Management Company. The
Management Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Venture Partners and an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, is principally engaged
in the business of furnishing investment, management and administrative services
for Fund III and Fund IIB and for other funds of a similar nature.
The names, business addresses and present principal occupations or
employment of the current executive officers and directors of Hancock are shown
on Exhibit B to this Schedule 13D. Except as set forth on such Exhibits, there
has been no change in the information previously filed with respect to the
officers and directors of the entities named above.
<PAGE>
SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 74838J101 Page 11 of 16 Pages
During the last five years, neither Hancock, the Holding Company,
Venture Partners or the Management Company nor any of their respective executive
officers or directors has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as
a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and amount of funds or other consideration.
On March 4, 1983, Venture Partners purchased 31,915 shares of Class B
preferred stock of Quidel Corporation ("Old Quidel") for a purchase price of
$750,002. On October 5, 1984, Venture Partners purchased 5,400 shares of Class C
preferred stock of Old Quidel for a purchase price of $108,000. On October 29,
1985, Venture Partners purchased 4,101 shares of Class D preferred stock of Old
Quidel for a purchase price of $102,526. On August 18, 1986, Venture Partners
purchased 11,000 shares of Class E preferred stock and warrants to purchase
2,200 shares of common stock of Old Quidel for a purchase price of $107,800. On
January 19, 1988, Venture Partners purchased 9,846 shares of Class F preferred
stock of Old Quidel for a purchase price of $113,230, and 1,106 shares of common
stock of Old Quidel for a purchase price of $1,770. The source of funds for each
purchase was partnership contributions from the John Hancock Venture Capital
Fund. In 1989, Old Quidel split half of its operations into another corporation,
LaJolla Pharmaceutical. Thus, of the amounts originally received by Old Quidel
from Venture Partners for the purchase of the securities described above, only
half may be deemed to have remained with Old Quidel.
On January 31, 1991, Old Quidel merged with Monoclonal Antibodies, Inc.
The surviving corporation is the Issuer. At the time of the merger, the Old
Quidel securities held by Venture Partners were converted into 146,420 shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer and warrants to purchase 2,465 shares of Common Stock
of the Issuer.
On January 31, 1991, Fund III purchased 616,413 shares of Common Stock
and Fund IIB purchased 50, 252 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase
price of $1,999,995. Fund III also received warrants to purchase 616,413 shares
and Fund IIB received warrants to purchase 50,252 shares at no additional cost.
The source of the funds was partnership contributions.
On March 5, 1991, Venture Partners completed the disposal of its
146,420 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 2,465 shares of Common
Stock.
On July 1, 1993, Fund III exchanged a promissory note of the Issuer in
the principal amount of $3,698,488 for 902,070 Shares of Common Stock and Fund
IIB exchanged its note of $301,512 for 73,539 shares of Common Stock. The notes
were outstanding pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of January 31,
1991 (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), under which Fund III and Fund IIB had made
unsecured subordinated loans to the issuer in the amount of $4,000,000.
As part of the arrangements relating to such exchange, up to 40,000
additional shares were issuable pro rata to Fund III and Fund II if the average
market price of the Common Stock over the 180 day period between July 1, 1993
and December 31, 1993 was below $4.50 per share. Eight hundred shares would be
<PAGE>
SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 74838J101 Page 12 of 16 Pages
issued, up to such 40,000 shares maximum, for each $.01 by which $4.50 per share
exceeded such coverage market price. Such adjustment would not be made if either
Fund II B or Fund III sold shares of Common Stock during such period without the
Issuer's consent.
In a series of transactions in December, 1995, Fund III and Fund IIB
sold 203,400 and 16,600 shares, respectively, of the Common Stock. All sales
were open-market transactions effected by brokers on the Nasdaq Stock Market, on
which the Issuer's Common Stock is traded.
Fund III and Fund IIB held Warrants of the Issuer (the "Warrants")
allowing them to acquire shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares") of the
Issuer. Pursuant to the operation of an antidilution provision governing the
Warrants, the number of Warrant Shares that could be acquired was increased in
January, 1996 by a total of 10,168 shares, 9,402 of which Fund III had the right
to acquire 9,402 and the remaining 766 of which Fund IIB had the right to
acquire.
On or about January 29, 1996, the Management Company, acting on behalf
of Fund III and Fund IIB, sold Warrants to acquire 277,387 and 22,613 Warrant
Shares beneficially owned by Fund III and Fund IIB, respectively. The sale was a
privately negotiated transaction between the Management Company and an
institutional investor.
In addition, in a series of transactions from January 2, 1996 through
February 14, 1996, Fund III and Fund IIB sold 99,900 and 8,100 shares,
respectively, of the Common Stock. All sales were open-market transactions
effected by brokers on the Nasdaq Stock Market, on which the Issuer's Common
Stock is traded.
In a series of transactions from February 15, 1996 through May 28,
1996, Fund III and Fund IIB sold 149,800 and 12,200 shares, respectively, of the
Common Stock, at prices ranging from $6.00 to $6.25 per share.
On or about July 16, 1996, the Management Company, acting on behalf of
Fund III, made a distribution of Common Stock of the Issuer to the limited and
general partners of Fund III, including Hancock and the John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance Company Pension Plan, distributing 1,065,383 shares of Common Stock to
the partners of Fund III. On or about July 16, 1996, the Management Company,
acting on behalf of Fund IIB, authorized the sale of the remaining 86,891 shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by Fund IIB.
Item 4. Purpose of transaction.
The acquisitions and dispositions of Common Stock and related warrants
reported above were in each case the result of investment decisions made by
Venture Partners, or by the Management Company acting on behalf of Fund III and
Fund IIB. All sales were open-market transactions effected by brokers on the
Nasdaq Stock Market, on which the Issuer's Common Stock is traded. Neither any
of the sales nor the distribution was made with the purpose or the effect of
changing the control of the Issuer, and none was in connection with or as a
participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect.

SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 74838J101 Page 13 of 16 Pages
Item 5. Interest in securities of the issuer.

discretionary account. The Holding Company, of which both the Management Company
and Sutro are subsidiaries, may be deemed to own both the GHLP Shares, the Fund
IIB Shares and the Sutro Shares, a total of 118,399 shares. Hancock owns 603,997
shares of Common Stock, including 517,712 shares held by Hancock and 86,285
shares distributed to the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company Pension
Plan, over which Hancock has voting and dispositive power, and Hancock may also
be deemed to own the GHLP Shares, the Fund IIB Shares and the Sutro Shares.
Each reporting person other than Fund III (i.e. Hancock, the Holding
Company, Venture Partners, the Management Company, Fund IIB, CGLP and GHLP)
holds, both individually and together with the other reporting persons, shares
of Common Stock representing less than 5% of the Issuer's Common Stock
outstanding at March 31, 1996.
(b) GHLP and the Management Company, through its partnership
relationship to GHLP, have sole power to vote or direct the vote of and sole
power to dispose of or direct the disposition of the GHLP Shares. CGLP and the
Management Company, through its partnership relation to CGLP, have sole power to
dispose or direct the disposition of the Fund IIB Shares. Hancock has the sole

disposition of the 517,712 shares that it owns by reason of the distribution
reported hereby and the 86,285 shares held by the John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance Company Pension Plan. Except through their respective ownership
interests in the Management Company, none of Hancock, the Holding Company or
Venture Partners has any power to vote or direct the vote of to dispose of or
direct the disposition of the GHLP Shares.
(c) See response 5(a) above.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Each reporting person ceased to own more than 5% of the Issuer's
outstanding Common Stock on or about July 16, 1996, the date when distribution
