INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Raven Biological Laboratories, Inc.

Omaha, Nebraska

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Raven Biological Laboratories, Inc. as of October 31, 2005, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Raven Biological Laboratories, Inc. as of October 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Raven Biological Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company” or “RAVEN”) manufactures Biological Indicators (“BI”) and Chemical Indicators (“CI”) used to assess the effectiveness of sterilization processes, including steam, gas (such as ethylene oxide), and radiation. Biological Indicators consist of resistant spores of certain microorganisms which are applied on a convenient substrate. The spores are well characterized in terms of numbers and resistance to sterilization. RAVEN products are used to validate equipment and monitor the effectiveness of a process in any industrial or healthcare setting which uses sterilization. Key markets for RAVEN include dental offices, hospitals, medical device manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food processing. In addition to Biological and Chemical Indicators, the Company offers Contract and Testing Services to industrial companies for the development of sterilization processes. These testing services include organism identification, population verification, sterilization process development and custom BI production.

Interim Financial Information

The unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2006 and for the five month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Operating results for the five months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessary indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended October 31, 2006.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions it invests with. As of the balance sheet date, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company uses the allowance for doubtful accounts method for valuing doubtful accounts receivable which is based on historical experience coupled with a review of current status of existing receivables. The allowance for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The losses ultimately incurred could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance.

As of October 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 (unaudited), one customer accounted for approximately 17% of total accounts receivable. For the periods ended March 31, 2006 (unaudited) and March 31, 2005 (unaudited) one customer accounted for approximately 12% and 11% of total sales, respectively.

Inventories

Inventory consists of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market, determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO).

Investments

The Company classifies its investment securities as, trading or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity.

Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Trading securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings.

Realized gains and losses for securities classified as held-to-maturity are recognized in earnings upon sale or redemption at maturity. The specific identification method is used to determine the cost of securities sold. Discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized using the level-interest-yield method to the earlier of the call date or maturity of the related held-to-maturity security. The Company had no significant unrealized gains or losses and no realized gains or losses for the periods presented.

The Company has a 50% investment in Zim Air, LLC and a 25% investment in Edge Life Sciences, LLC. These investment are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under such method, the Company’s proportionate share of net income (loss) is included as a separate item in the statement of operations.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for owned assets, ranging from 5 to 7 years.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as an S-corporation for income tax purposes. Accordingly, taxable income and losses of the Company are reported on the income tax returns of the Company’s stockholders and no provisions for federal income taxes has been recorded on the accompanying financial statements.

Included in the statements of income are pro forma income tax adjustments computed using the statutory rates in effect, which represents the federal and state income tax provisions that would have been required had the Company been taxed as a C- Corporation. The Company’s assumed statutory tax rate based on pre-tax income on a pro forma basis would have been 38% for the year ended October 31, 2005 and the periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the year ended October 31, 2005 was approximately $139,000 and amounts expensed for the periods ended March 31, 2006 (unaudited) and March 31, 2005 (unaudited) was approximately $63,000 and $61,000, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Expenditures made for research and development are charged to expense as incurred.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of any outstanding dilutive securities. No diluted earnings per share is presented, as there are no potential dilutive common shares.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt approximates fair value based on current market rates available for similar debt instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43” (“FAS 151”), which is the result of its efforts to converge U.S. accounting standards for inventories with International Accounting Standards. FAS No. 151 requires idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) costs to be recognized as current-period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

normal capacity of the production facilities. FAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has evaluated the impact of this standard on the financial statements, and has determined that the current idle plant capacity has been accounted for properly.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets — amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. Statement 153 eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance, defined as transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This statement is effective for exchanges of non-monetary assets occurring after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The FASB has issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. Among other changes, SFAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of SFAS 154 is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005.

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“FAS 155”), which amends FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Statement 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and provides a means to simplify the accounting for these instruments. Specifically, FASB Statement No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. FAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not intend to issue or acquire the hybrid instruments included in the scope of FAS 155 and does not expect the adoption of FAS 155 to affect future reporting or disclosures.

Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
