Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
Ischemia Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Ischemia Technologies, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. We have also audited the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from January 15, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 2004, except that we did not audit these financial statements for the period from January 15, 1997 through December 31, 2003, which statements reflected cumulative revenues and net loss of $631,155 and $23,403,539, respectively; those statements were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 12, 2004 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. 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. Our opinion on the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period January 15, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 2004, insofar as it relates to amounts for prior periods through December 31, 2003, is based solely on the report of other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Standards Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ischemia Technologies, Inc. at December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from January 15, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Ischemia Technologies, Inc.
(A development stage enterprise)
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Ischemia Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 19, 1999. Prior to incorporation, the Company had operated as a limited liability company (the “LLC”) in the state of Tennessee since its inception on January 15, 1997. The Company develops, manufactures, and markets products for the diagnosis of cardiac ischemia in patients. Ischemia causes heart attacks, strokes, and other serious medical conditions. Prior to 2003, the Company introduced its product for sale in Canada and Europe. In February 2003, the Company received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance to market its first product in the United States as a rule-out test for cardiac ischemia subject to the general controls provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Marketing efforts commenced in the U.S. in 2003.
Basis of Presentation
The Company has generated limited revenue since inception and its activities have consisted primarily of developing products, raising capital, and recruiting personnel. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage at December 31, 2004 as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.
Liquidity
During its development stage, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. Historically, the Company has met its cash requirements through a combination of private debt and equity financings, as well as through bank debt. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company was sold in March 2005 to a public company. The Company’s ability to meet its future working capital needs will be primarily dependent on the new parent company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
7
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on its history of collections overall and by specific identification of questionable accounts. Accounts determined uncollectible are written off against the reserve. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $15,000 and $13,000, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from three to ten years. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets of the Company primarily relate to legal costs of patent applications and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the respective assets, which range from five to twenty years. Amortization expense for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $19,798 and $12,758, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment, intangibles, and other assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is evaluated periodically based upon changes in the business environment or other facts and circumstances that suggest they may be impaired. If this evaluation indicates the carrying value will not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted expected future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets, the Company reduces the carrying amount to the estimated fair value.
8
Revenues
Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized at the time product is shipped or title passes pursuant to the terms of agreements with the customers, the amount due from the customer is fixed, and collectibility of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s product development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with discovery research, product development and clinical trials.
Income Taxes
After incorporation on March 19, 1999, the Company began accounting for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of the differences between the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at the end of each year based on the enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Prior to incorporation, the LLC did not record any state or federal income tax as all losses were included in the tax returns of the members of the LLC.
Stock-Based Compensation
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, permits the use of either a fair value based method as outlined in SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or the method defined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB No. 25”) to account for stock-based compensation arrangements. The Company has elected to recognize the costs of stock-based compensation arrangements under the provisions of APB No. 25.
Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair values at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with the method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
9
2003 would have not have been materially different than the amounts reported in the accompanying statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.
Reclassifications
Certain 2003 balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
2. Sale of the Company
In March 2005, the Company was acquired by Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc. (“Inverness”) in exchange for approximately 970,000 shares of Inverness common stock. Of the Inverness shares issued to complete the transaction, approximately 351,000 were issued to holders of the Series E Notes (see note 7), approximately 513,000 were issued to holders of the Company’s Series D preferred stock, and approximately 106,000 shares were placed into escrow. In connection with the sale transaction, in 2005 the Company paid severance and other discretionary bonuses to various officers, directors and employees of approximately $1,500,000, as well as a transaction fee of $400,000 to a third party.
3. Inventories

Depreciation expense for plant and equipment recorded for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the cumulative period from January 15, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 2004 was $209,107, $203,009 and $829,384, respectively.
5. Borrowings
In April 2003, as modified in March 2004, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a bank pursuant to which it was advanced $1,500,000 in the form of an equipment loan and a term loan. Amounts outstanding under the loan agreement, which totaled $499,000 and $1,138,570 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, bear interest at 8.5%, are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, and are repayable in interest only payments through December 2004 and in monthly payments of approximately $27,000 commencing in January 2005 through the loan agreement’s maturity in August 2006. The loan agreement contains covenants, including minimum revenue requirements, with which the Company was not in compliance at December 31, 2004. Accordingly, all amounts due the bank under the loan agreement at December 31, 2004 are presented as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet. Concurrently with entering into and modifying the loan agreement, warrants to purchase Series D preferred shares were granted to the lender (Note 10). Subsequent to the acquisition of the Company by Inverness, all amounts due to the bank under the loan agreement were paid.
11
In November 2004, the Company acquired equipment under a capital lease arrangement. The lease requires monthly payments of approximately $1,700 over its 36 month term. The Company recorded the obligation and equipment at the present value of the lease payments of $55,000. Estimated annual principal repayments in each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007 are $17,197, $18,305, and $19,498.
6. Convertible Debt
At December 31, 1998, the Company was liable for convertible debentures to Venture Alliance Capital Fund, LLC (“Venture”) for $500,000. On March 19, 1999, concurrent with the reorganization, the debentures were converted to 747,971 shares of common stock. Prior to conversion, these debentures were uncollateralized and bore interest at a rate of 5%.
At December 31, 1998, the Company was also liable for convertible debentures to BFM Partnership for $100. On March 19, 1999, concurrent with the reorganization, these debentures were converted to 83,174 shares of common stock. Prior to conversion, these debentures had the same terms as those due to Venture Alliance Capital Fund, LLC, as described above.
Between June 1 and August 31, 2000, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to existing shareholders for $778,000. The notes bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and included warrant coverage of 6% on the first $203,000 and 8% on the remaining $575,000 of notes issued. On November 8, 2000, concurrent with the first closing of the Series B preferred stock, the notes were converted to 389,000 shares and interest due was converted to 8,198 shares of Series B preferred stock.
Between February 28 and March 5, 2003, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to certain shareholders for $500,000 with interest at 8% per annum. On March 20, 2003, concurrent with the first closing of the Series D preferred stock, the principal balance of the notes plus accrued interest was applied to the purchase of Series D preferred stock under the general terms of the offering.
7. Convertible Subordinated Notes
On March 20, 2003, in connection with the sale of the Company’s Series D preferred stock, the Company issued Convertible Subordinated Promissory Notes (“Notes”) totaling $658,075 to certain Series D participants. The Notes bear interest at 8% per annum payable quarterly and are subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment of any senior indebtedness of the Company.
12
Unless previously converted or otherwise paid in full, on the earlier of March 20, 2008, or the date on which the Company has redeemed any shares of Series D preferred stock in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as may be amended (“Charter”) (“Initial Payment Date”), fifty percent of the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest shall be due, with the balance of unpaid principal and accrued interest due one year thereafter (“Maturity Date”). If no Series D shares are redeemed as of March 20, 2008, then the Initial Payment Date and the Maturity Date shall be automatically extended, respectively, and the Initial Payment Date shall be the date on which the Company initially redeems Series D shares in accordance with its Charter and the Maturity Date shall be the date upon which the Company has fully redeemed the Series D shares put to it in accordance with the Charter, except the Initial Payment and Maturity Dates shall not be extended if on such date no Series D shares are outstanding as a result of the redemption of those shares in accordance with the Charter, all redemption payments owing thereon having been paid in full.
Subject to other provisions of the Notes, the Company may pay the outstanding principal and interest due on the Notes without penalty on the Initial Payment Date provided the Company has redeemed all of the Series D shares requested to be redeemed in accordance with the Charter, in a single installment on the First Redemption Date as defined in the Charter.
If, prior to payment in full or conversion of the Notes, the Company declares a cash dividend on Series D preferred stock, the Note holders shall be due an amount equal to the dividend that would have been owed on an as-converted to Series D shares basis, with the amount being applied to reduce the principal balance of the Notes.
The Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time, without penalty by providing thirty days prior written notice and by issuing warrants, in consideration of the prepayment, to purchase Series D shares equal to 80% of the amount of principal prepaid divided by $1.29 with said warrants having an exercise price of $1.29 per share.
The Notes are convertible to 408,105 shares of the Company’s Series D preferred stock at any time at the option of the Holders. The number of shares is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, substitutions, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, sales of assets, and the like.
Upon the automatic conversion of Series D shares to Common, or upon any liquidating event as described in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation dated March 20, 2003, the Notes shall be automatically converted to shares of the Company’s Series D preferred stock equal to 80% of the amount of outstanding principal divided by the adjusted issue price.
13
In August 2004, the Company issued Convertible Subordinated Promissory Notes (“Series E Notes) totaling $2,968,263 to certain investors. The Series E Notes bear interest at 8%, mature in August 2005, unless extended by the investors, and are subordinate to the Company’s bank debt described in Note 5. Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain defined corporate transactions, including the sale of the Company, the holders of the Series E Notes are entitled to be paid an amount equal to 300% of the principal balance of the Series E Notes then outstanding.
Should the Company sell at least $2,000,000 of its Series E preferred stock, the Series E Notes are convertible, at the option of the majority of the Series E Notes holders, into either shares of the Series E preferred stock at a rate commensurate with that paid by the investors or into shares of the Company’s Series D preferred stock at a conversion rate of $0.81 per share. In any event, after August 31, 2005, the Series E Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Series D preferred stock at a conversion rate of $0.81 per share. Finally, should the Series E Notes be converted into shares of Series E preferred stock or should the Series E Notes be repaid after August 2005, the Company has agreed to issue to the holders of the Series E Notes warrants to acquire shares Series D or Series E preferred stock equal to 50% of the principal and interest balance of the Series E Notes divided by either $0.81 or the Series E preferred stock offering price at a per share price of $0.01.
Amounts due under the Series E Notes were retired through the issuance of approximately 351,000 shares of Inverness common stock upon the sale of the Company. See note 2.
14
8. Income Taxes
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the Company’s net deferred tax assets were as follows at December 31:
| | 2004 | | 2003 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | |
Net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 8,346,000 | | $ | 5,505,836 | |
Research credit carryforwards | | 222,000 | | 200,507 | |
Amortization of start-up costs | | 1,600,000 | | 1,972,747 | |
Accrued expenses | | 91,000 | | 168,310 | |
Total deferred assets | | 10,259,000 | | 7,847,400 | |
Deferred tax liabilities: | | | | | |
Depreciation | | (39,000 | ) | (44,897 | ) |
Amortization of intangible assets | | (65,000 | ) | (72,463 | ) |
Total deferred liabilities | | (104,000 | ) | (117,360 | ) |
Valuation allowance | | (10,155,000 | ) | (7,730,040 | ) |
Net deferred tax assets | | $ | — | | $ | — | |
A valuation allowance has been provided for the Company’s net deferred tax assets in order to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is most likely to be realized.
The income tax benefit recognized in 2004 and 2003 financial statements differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% primarily due to the change in the deferred tax valuation allowance.
At December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss and research credit carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $21,400,000 and $570,000, respectively, which expire in years beginning after 2019. The net operating loss and research credit carryforwards may be subject to limitation upon the change in control of the Company pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383.
15
9. Commitments
The Company has entered into noncancelable operating leases for office space and certain office equipment. As of December 31, 2004, future minimum lease payments under these operating leases were as follows.
2005 | | $ | 234,458 | |
2006 | | 32,288 | |
2007 | | 2,850 | |
| | $ | 269,596 | |
Total rental expense under operating leases in the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003, was approximately $177,560 and $173,355, respectively.
The Company conducts various clinical and market studies of its products using outside clinical investigators. These studies are conducted under contractual agreements that establish the amount and timing of payments to each clinical site. The agreements are generally cancelable by providing written notice. Future expected commitments under the agreements were approximately $10,000 at December 31, 2004.
In February 2005, the Company entered into a license agreement for the right to use certain intellectual property for which it paid $500,000. The license agreement provides for additional future payments of up to $200,000 upon the attainment of certain defined milestones, as well as a 4% royalty on products sold using the licensed technology.
10. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
Reorganization
On March 19, 1999, the LLC entered into an agreement with outside investors providing for the investors’ purchase of Series A preferred stock of the Company. To effect the transaction, the members of the LLC exchanged existing membership interests for 2,200,803 shares of common stock of the Company. In connection with the agreement, existing debt obligations of the LLC totaling $500,100 were converted to 831,145 shares of common stock. Upon consummation of these transactions, the LLC became wholly owned by the Company. The LLC was subsequently dissolved and the deficit accumulated by the LLC was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
16
Preferred Stock
Series A
In March 1999, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock and received proceeds, net of issuance costs, totaling $3,704,019.
Series B
In November and December 2000 and January 2001, the Company issued a total of 5,080,409 shares of Series B preferred stock and received proceeds, net of issuance costs, totaling $10,055,209.
Series C
In July 2001, the Company issued a total of 833,334 shares of Series C preferred stock and received proceeds, net of issuance costs, totaling $2,465,984.
Series D
In March, July, and August 2003, the Company issued a total of 6,359,400 shares of Series D preferred stock at $1.29 per share with warrants to purchase another 3,815,631 shares at $0.01 per share. Proceeds, net of issuance costs and including the exercise of 3,224,996 warrants, totaled $7,985,433.
Dividend Rights
The holders of Series D preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends when declared by the Board of Directors calculated at a rate per annum of 8% of $0.81 per share compounded annually payable in arrears out of funds legally available therefore before any distributions, dividends, redemptions or other payments to holders of Preferred Series A, B, C or Common stock. Accrued dividends are payable on Series D preferred stock upon any automatic conversion of Preferred stock to Common.
Subject to the preferential rights of Series D preferred stockholders and only if there are no outstanding Series D preferred shares, holders of Series A and B preferred stock, in preference to Series C preferred and Common stockholders, are entitled to receive out of legal funds, when and
17
if declared by the Board of Directors, cash dividends at a rate of 8% of the Original Issue Discount Price per annum on outstanding shares of Series A and B preferred stock.
As long as there are any outstanding Series D preferred shares, no dividends, distributions, purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions can be made with respect to Preferred Series A, B, C or Common stock.
As long as there are any outstanding Series A or B preferred shares, no dividends, distributions, purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions can be made with respect to Preferred Series C or Common Stock.
For any dividend paid on Common stock, holders of Preferred stock are entitled to an additional dividend on an as-if-converted to Common stock basis subject to certain limitations.
Conversion Rights
The holders of Series A, B, C and D preferred stock are entitled, at the option of the holder, to convert at any time to Common stock by multiplying the number of Preferred shares to be converted by the Conversion Rate for each class of Preferred stock. The Conversion Rate is the Original Purchase Price as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits and recapitalizations divided by the applicable Series Conversion Price. The initial Conversion Price is the Original Purchase Price of each series of Preferred stock unless there is a sale of shares below the Conversion Price.
Series A, B and C preferred shares automatically convert to Common stock upon a majority vote of the holders of Series A, B and C preferred stock, or in the event of a firmly underwritten public offering grossing at least $15 million where the price per share paid is at least four times the Original Issue Price of the Series D preferred stock (a “Qualified Public Offering”), or in the event of an acquisition or asset sale where the holders of Series B preferred stock receive at least four times the Original Issue Price of the Series B preferred stock and the holders of Series C preferred stock receive at least two and two-thirds times the Series C Original Issue Price.

11. Stock Option Plan
During 1999, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the Plan) that provides for granting of incentive stock options to certain employees, directors, advisors, and consultants. Options granted under the Plan expire at the end of ten years and vest in accordance with a vesting schedule determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, generally over four years from the grant date. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of grant as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Activity of the Plan is summarized in the following table.
| | Number of Options | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | | Number of Options Exercisable | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Outstanding at January 1, 2003 | | 528,150 | | $ | 0.20 | | 266,051 | | $ | 0.20 | |
Granted | | 338,500 | | 0.08 | | | | | |
Exercised | | (8,833 | ) | 0.20 | | | | | |
Forfeited | | (27,367 | ) | 0.15 | | | | | |
Outstanding at December 31, 2003 | | 830,450 | | 0.15 | | 481,729 | | 0.17 | |
Granted | | 124,500 | | 0.08 | | | | | |
Exercised | | — | | — | | | | | |
Forfeited | | (234,000 | ) | 0.11 | | | | | |
Outstanding at December 31, 2004 | | 720,950 | | $ | 0.15 | | 498,512 | | $ | 0.15 | |

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2004 and 2003 was $0.05 and $0.11 per share.
In connection with the sale of the Company described in Note 2, the Company accelerated the vesting of all outstanding options in 2005.
The total stock options outstanding and exercisable under the Plan as of December 31, 2004 were:
| | Options Outstanding | | Options Exercisable | |
| | Weighted-Average | | | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | |
Number of Options | | Remaining Contractual Life (Years) | | Exercise Price | | Number of Options | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
382,650 | | 6 | | $ | 0.20 | | 296,736 | | $ | 0.20 | |
338,300 | | 8 | | $ | 0.08 | | 201,776 | | $ | 0.08 | |
720,950 | | 7 | | $ | 0.15 | | 498,512 | | $ | 0.15 | |
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the minimum value option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants during 2003: fair value of Common shares of $0.08, expected dividend yield of zero, expected volatility of zero, risk -free interest rates ranging from 1.85% to 4.99%, and expected option terms of seven years.
12. Employee Benefit Plans
On March 20, 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Management Incentive Plan to retain and motivate key employees, consultants and directors of the Company (“Participants”) by providing a financial incentive in connection with a qualified acquisition of the Company. Under the plan, an Acquisition Pool is created in the event of a qualified acquisition equal to $2.5 million increased by 12.9% of the amount by which the total consideration in the acquisition exceeds $35 million up to a maximum of $7 million. The Acquisition Pool is comprised of a Mandatory Pool and a Discretionary Pool. The Mandatory Pool represents two-thirds of the Acquisition Pool to be allocated to Participants pro rata based on common shares and vested stock options held. The Discretionary Pool represents one-third of the Acquisition Pool to be allocated to the Participants at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Plan expires in 2008; however, the Board of
22
Directors may renew the plan for up to three additional one-year terms. The management incentive plan was terminated in March 2005 in connection with the sale of the Company.
In 2001, the Company began a salary reduction savings plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees are eligible for participation and employees making less than $85,000 per year are eligible for a discretionary Company match. The Company contributed no funds to the plan during the year ended December 31, 2004 and approximately $12,655 to the plan during the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company’s 401(k) plan was terminated in March 2005 in connection with the sale of the Company.
