Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Echo Healthcare Acquisition Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Echo Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of March 22, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (capital deficit) and cash flows for the periods from January 1, 2006 through March 22, 2006, June 10, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005 and June 10, 2005 (date of inception) through March 22, 2006. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 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. 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 audits provide 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 Echo Healthcare Acquisition Corp. as of March 22, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods from January 1, 2006 through March 22, 2006, June 10, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005 and June 10, 2005 (date of inception) through March 22, 2006 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE A—ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Echo Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 10, 2005. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, other similar Acquisition one or more domestic or international operating businesses in the healthcare industry. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated revenue to date. The Company is considered to be in the development stage and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. As such, the Company’s operating results through March 22, 2006 relate to early stage organizational activities. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

On March 16, 2006, the Company amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 25,000,000 shares.  On November 10, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a four-for-ten reverse stock split to all shareholders of record on November 10, 2005. On January 26, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a five-for-three stock split to all shareholders of record on January 29, 2006. All share amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock splits.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering of Units (as described in Note C) (“Offering”) was declared effective on March 17, 2006. The Company consummated the Offering on March 22, 2006 and received net proceeds of approximately $45,446,690, inclusive of deferred underwriting and other accrued offering costs (see Notes C and G). The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward acquiring an operating company (“Acquisition”). Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Acquisition. An amount of $47,780,000, from the net proceeds of the Offering together with the proceeds from the sale of 458,333 warrants at $1.20 per warrant to founding directors for $550,000 is being held in a trust account (“Trust Fund”) and invested in government securities until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its first Acquisition or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Fund as described below. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Fund) together with borrowings under the Company’s Working Capital Line of Credit (see Note D) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the Acquisition, will submit such transaction for stockholders’ approval. In the event that holders of 20% or more of the shares issued in the Offering vote against the Acquisition and exercise their conversion rights, the Acquisition will not be consummated.

The Company’s initial stockholders (the “Founding Stockholders”) have agreed to vote their 1,562,500 shares of common stock in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company (“Public Stockholders”) with respect to an Acquisition. After consummation of an Acquisition, these voting safeguards will no longer be applicable.

With respect to an Acquisition which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against such Acquisition may demand that the Company convert its shares into a pro rata share of the Trust Fund. The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Fund, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Acquisition, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding up to 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event of an Acquisition. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Fund computed without regard to the shares held by the Founding Stockholders. Accordingly, a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering (19.99% of the amount held in the Trust Fund) has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 22, 2006. The Company is permitted to seek disbursements of amounts held in the Trust Fund for tax obligations.

In the event that the Company does not consummate an Acquisition within 18 months from the date of the consummation of the Offering, or 24 months from the consummation of the Offering if certain extension criteria have been satisfied (the “Acquisition Period”), the proceeds held in the Trust Fund will be distributed to the Company’s Public Stockholders. In the event of such distribution, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Fund assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units to be offered in the Offering discussed in Note C).

Notes to Financial Statements—(Continued)

NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

[1]Loss per common share:

Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  The per share effects of potential common shares such as warrants and options, aggregating 7,333,333 shares, have not been included as the effect would be antidilutive. Shares held in escrow that are subject to performance conditions are not considered outstanding for purposes of per share calculations (see Note C).

[2]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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

[3]Income taxes:

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset for the tax effect of start-up costs and temporary differences, aggregating approximately $43,000 and $37,000 at March 22, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In recognition of the uncertainty regarding the ultimate amount of income tax benefits to be derived, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance at both March 22, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

The effective tax rates differ from the statutory rate of 34% due to the increases in the valuation allowance.

[4]Deferred offering costs / accrued offering costs:

Deferred offering costs at December 31, 2005 and accrued offering costs at March 22, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consisted principally of legal and underwriting fees that are related to the Offering and were charged to stockholders' equity upon the consummation of the Offering.

[5]Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

[6] New Accounting Pronouncements:

The Company does not believe that any recently issued accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements—(Continued)

[7] Deferred underwriting and other offering costs:

Deferred underwriting and other offering costs consist of deferred underwriting fees (see Note C) and legal and printing fees (see Note G) incurred through March 22, 2006 that were related to the Offering and were charged to stockholder’s equity upon completion of the Offering.

NOTE C — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On March 22, 2006, the Company sold 6,250,000 units (“Units”) in the Offering. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant (“Warrants”). Accordingly, 6,250,000 of these Warrants are outstanding at March 22, 2006. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing on the later of (a) March 17, 2007 or (b) the completion of an Acquisition. The warrants will expire March 17, 2010. The Warrants will be redeemable, at the Company’s option at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.

The Company sold to Morgan Joseph and Co. Inc. and Roth Capital Partners, LLC an option, for $100, to purchase up to a total of 312,500 units at $10.00 per Unit. The sale of the option has been accounted for as a cost attributable to the offering. Accordingly, there is no net impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, except for recording of the $100 proceeds from the sale. The option has been valued at the date of issuance at $484,742, based upon a Black-Scholes model, using an expected life of four years, volatility of 27% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.35%. The volatility calculation of 27% is based on the four-year volatility of a subgroup of the Russell 2000 Healthcare Index, which consisted of the twenty-five smallest constituent companies measured by overall market capitalization. Because the Company does not have a trading history, the Company needed to estimate the potential volatility of its units, which will depend on a number of factors which cannot be ascertained at this time. The Company referred to this subgroup of the four-year volatility of the Russell 2000 Healthcare Index because its management believes that the volatility of these constituent companies is a reasonable benchmark to use in estimating the expected volatility for the Company’s units. Although an expected life of four years was taken into account for purposes of assigning a fair value to the option, if the Company does not consummate an Acquisition within the prescribed time period and liquidates, the option would become worthless.

The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to the Units in the Offering. The option is exercisable commencing on the later of the consummation of a business combination or one year from March 17, 2006, and expires five years from the date of issuance. The option and the 312,500 units, the 312,500 shares of common stock and the 312,500 warrants underlying such units, and the 312,500 shares of common stock underlying such warrants, are subject to a 180-day lock-up. The underwriters will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate this option or the securities underlying this option, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of this option or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the date of the Offering. However, the option may be transferred to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Offering and their bona fide officers or partners. Although the purchase option and its underlying securities have been registered, the option grants holders demand and “piggy back” registration rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from March 17, 2006. These rights apply to all of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option exercise price or underlying units will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below the option exercise price. The option may be exercised for cash, or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may receive a net amount of shares equal to the appreciated value of the option (the difference between the exercise prices of the option and the underlying warrants, and the market price of the underlying securities). The Company must maintain the effectiveness of the registration of the shares underlying the underwriters’ purchase option. The agreement does not provide for specific liquidated damages.

Notes to Financial Statements—(Continued)

Certain Founding Stockholders purchased an aggregate of 458,333 warrants concurrently with the closing of the Offering at a price of $1.20 per warrant directly from the Company. They have agreed that these warrants purchased by them will not be sold or transferred until completion of an Acquisition. In exchange for agreeing to purchase such warrants, these Founding Stockholders were sold an aggregate of 171,662 shares of previously issued Common Stock by other Founding Stockholders in a private transaction for a purchase price equal to the initial price paid by selling Founding Stockholders. The transaction is accounted for as an equity transaction and had no effect on the financial position or operations of the Company.

The Company agreed to pay the Underwriters of the Offering fees equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds; the Underwriters have agreed to defer 3.0% of their fees until consummation of an Acquisition. The Company will pay the deferred fees out the proceeds of the Offering held in trust.  If there is no Acquisition, such fees will not be paid.

Upon consummation of the Offering, all shares of common stock owned by the Founding Stockholders were placed into an escrow account maintained by Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., acting as escrow agent. These shares will be released from escrow in two equal increments:

•   781,250 shares on the expiration of three years from March 17, 2006; and

•   781,250 shares on upon the completion of an Acquisition and when the last sale price of the Company’s common stock thereafter equals or exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period beginning after the Company completes its initial Acquisition.

The foregoing restrictions are subject to certain limited exceptions such as transfers to family members and trusts for estate planning purposes, upon death of an escrow depositor, transfers to an estate or beneficiaries, or other specified transfers. Even if transferred under these circumstances, the shares will remain in the escrow account. The shares are releasable from escrow prior to the above dates only if following the initial Acquisition, the Company consummates a transaction in which all of the stockholders of the combined entity have the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. If the price of the Company’s common stock fails to reach the trigger price for the required number of trading days described above, the 781,250 shares subject to this condition will remain in escrow until a transaction is consummated in which all stockholders of the combined entity have the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property, or until the Company ceases operations.

Certain of the shares to be placed in escrow are subject to performance and market conditions as defined in the agreement, the attainment of which can not be assured, and are considered contingent shares. As a result, these shares are not included in the loss per common share calculations. The agreement provides that the shares are to be released to the initial stockholders (all of whom are officers and/or directors or are a related party to an officer and director) upon meeting certain performance and market conditions. Accordingly, the Company may be required to recognize a charge based on the fair value of the shares at the time the shares are released from the escrow. (The amount of such charge could be equal to the number of shares times the market value at such date. Based on the target price of $11.50, such charge would be approximately $8,984,000.

NOTE D—NOTES PAYABLE TO FOUNDING STOCKHOLDERS

The Company had issued notes totaling $200,000 to certain of its Founding Stockholders. The notes were satisfied on March 22, 2006.

Certain of the Company’s Founding Stockholders have entered into a limited recourse revolving line of credit agreement, (the “Working Capital Line of Credit”), pursuant to which the Company may have up to $750,000 of borrowings outstanding at any time. Amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Line of Credit will bear interest at a rate equal to the rate of interest payable on the net proceeds of the offering held in the Trust Fund. No interest shall be payable until the principal of the loan becomes payable. The loans under the limited recourse revolving line of credit agreement shall be payable only upon the consummation of the initial Acquisition or upon certain events of default. If the Company does not consummate the initial Acquisition within two years following the completion of the offering, the loans under the limited recourse revolving line of credit agreement shall terminate and the payees shall have no right to repayment thereunder.

Notes to Financial Statements—(Continued)

NOTE E—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

The Company has agreed to pay a Founding Stockholder an administrative fee of $7,500 per month, $5,500 of which shall be deferred until the completion of the initial Acquisition, for office space and general and administrative services from March 22, 2006 through the effective date of the initial Acquisition.

NOTE F — OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Certain of the Company’s officers and directors have agreed with the Representative that during the first 40 trading day period beginning the later of the date the separate trading of the common stock and the warrants has commenced or 60 days after the end of the “restricted period”, they or certain of their affiliates or designees collectively will purchase up to $300,000 of Warrants in the public marketplace at prices not to exceed $1.20 per warrant. They have further agreed that any warrants purchased by them or their affiliates or designees will not be sold or transferred until the completion of an Acquisition.

NOTE G —COMMITMENTS AND OTHER MATTERS

On January 29, 2006, Powell Goldstein LLP agreed to defer its legal fees related to the Offering of up to $200,000 until the completion of the initial Acquisition or the liquidation of the Company, in which case the deferred fees would not be payable out of the net proceeds of the offering held in trust. These fees constitute a cost of the offering and an obligation of the Company. If there is no Acquisition, this obligation will not be paid.

On January 29, 2006, Tri-State Financial, which provided financial printing services in connection with the Offering, agreed to defer payment of 20% its printing fees until the completion of the initial Acquisition or the liquidation of the Company, in which case the deferred fees would not be payable out of the net proceeds of the offering held in trust. These fees, totaling $93,233, constitute a cost of the offering and an obligation of the Company. If there is no Acquisition, this obligation will not be paid.
