The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.

Basis of Presentation:

The information contained in the interim consolidated financial statements is condensed from that which would appear in annual consolidated financial statements.  The interim consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, and notes thereto, and other financial information contained in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 as filed by Polydex Pharmaceuticals Limited (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2008 and 2007 include all normal recurring adjustments which management considers necessary for a fair presentation.  The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.  The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in which the Company has equal to or more than a 50% ownership interest and exercises control.

2.

Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of consolidation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term deposits with maturities of less than three months at the date of purchase.

Inventories

Inventories of raw materials are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis.  Work-in-process and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and include the cost of raw materials, direct labor and fixed and variable overhead expenses.

F-6

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Investments available for sale

Investments available for sale consist of medium-term fixed income instruments, trust income funds, and mutual funds, and are stated at fair market value based on quoted market prices.  Interest income is included in other income in the consolidated statement of operations as it is earned.  Changes in market values during the holding period are reported as unrealized gain (loss) on investments available for sale and are included in other comprehensive income (loss).  Realized gains (losses) are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on a specific item basis when the security is sold or matured.

Property, plant and equipment and patents and intangible assets

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings  15 years

Machinery and equipment   3 to 10 years

Patents and intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of ten years.  Intangible assets consist of intellectual property, government licenses and government license applications.

Useful life is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to the Company’s future cash flows.  The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.  The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations.  If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value.  

Costs related to plant refurbishments and equipment upgrades that represent improvements to existing facilities are capitalized.  Costs related to repair and maintenance of buildings and equipment are expensed.  The Company has no major planned maintenance activity.

Revenue recognition

Revenue results from sales of bulk manufactured products. Revenue is recognized when title and risk of ownership of products pass to the customer.  Title and risk of ownership pass to the customer pursuant to the applicable sales contract, either upon shipment of product or upon receipt by the customer.

Product sold in bulk quantities is tested, prior to release for shipment, to ensure that it meets customer specifications, and in many cases, customers receive samples for their own testing.  Approval is obtained from the customer prior to shipping.  Further purchases by a customer of a bulk product with the same specifications do not require approvals.  Returns of bulk product are rare and generally are not accepted.

F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company for shipment of products to customers are included in cost of goods sold.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are stated net of investment tax credits earned.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian operations has been determined to be the Canadian dollar.  All asset and liability accounts of the Company except capital stock have been translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rates at the interim consolidated balance sheet dates.  Capital stock is recorded at historical rates. Revenue and expense items are translated using the average exchange rates for the year.  The resulting gains and losses have been reported separately as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity.

Stock options

The Company has elected to follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123(R)”).  Under SFAS 123(R), compensation expense is recognized on the date of grant, based on the fair value of the options granted.  

Earnings (loss) per common share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 3,072,846 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 (2007 - 3,072,846).  Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares, using the treasury stock method, attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock.  Incremental shares of nil at July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007 were used in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share, as their effect was anti-dilutive.  Options to purchase common shares of nil were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as at July 31, 2008.

Stock-based Employee Compensation:

The Company maintains an incentive share option plan for management personnel for options to purchase up to 1,000,000 common shares.  The Company also issues options to certain consultants for services provided to the Company.

All options granted have terms of five years and vest immediately.  At July 31, 2008, the Company had 63,699 options outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $0.79 to $10.01 and a weighted average exercise price of $3.34.  The options, which are immediately exercisable and expire on dates between January 31, 2009 and January 31, 2013, entitle the holder of an option to acquire one common share of the Company.

F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

The Company uses the fair value method in accordance with SFAS 123 to account for awards of stock-based employee compensation.  No stock-based employee compensation expense was recorded during the period from February 1, 2008 to July 31, 2008, because there were no options granted during this period.

As a Canadian based manufacturer of pharmaceutical based compounds exporting internationally, the increase in value of the Canadian dollar by approximately 18% compared to the United States dollar from January of 2007 has severely reduced the profitability of the Canadian operations, and negatively impacted the Company’s cash flows.  More recently, the world wide increase in the price of commodities has resulted in lowered pig production, especially in Europe, where the Company has traditionally derived a substantial portion of its sales.  The cancellation of Phase III HIV clinical trials in January of 2007 for the Company’s cellulose sulphate compound known as Ushercell was very disappointing to the Company, and resulted in a drastic decline in our share price on NASDAQ, though it did not have an impact on our core operations. Throughout this period, the Company has been investing its significant cash reserves in the refurbishment of the Toronto plant, in order to capitalize on the higher margins available for its powdered products line. With all of these challenges occurring at the same time, management has reacted in a number of effective ways, including:

•

The Company has managed to increase its pricing across all product lines to partially compensate for the increased value of the Canadian dollar. This has been a challenging process, as our sales quotes can be up to six months in advance, and with the lowered demand for our products has been met with resistance.

1

•

Cost reduction has been a hallmark throughout this period of struggle. All of Polydex’s personnel have contributed to the shrinking of everything from the cost of raw materials, plant repairs, and sludge removal, to overheads such as insurance, legal, consulting and reporting costs. Payroll reductions have been de rigeur, with management compensation being reduced and the implementation of shorter plant hours of work when appropriate. Cost control is an ongoing endeavor that will provide a stronger base for future earnings.

•

The Company has been actively striving to optimize its product mix, and the results of this effort are beginning to be seen in the last 6 months, with improved margins helping to reduce overall losses in spite of the decline in sales volumes. Management believes that this improvement will only increase when the plant refurbishment is operational.

•

The new plant equipment will also allow the Company to expand its markets, especially large international pharmaceutical companies who rely on production from high quality facilities.

•

The Company is continuing to investigate opportunities related to the contraceptive indication for Ushercell.

With all this in the past, there remain a number of challenges before us. Though rigorous cost cutting and careful price increases have been effective, our cash reserves have been significantly reduced, and the Company’s future will only be assured through meeting the increasingly competitive demands of our customers, who are experiencing their own pressures in the turbulence of the global marketplace.

Research and development of the Company’s human pharmaceutical products is coordinated at Dextran Products.  Ushercell is a high molecular weight cellulose sulphate that was envisioned for topical vaginal use primarily in the prevention of unplanned pregnancies, as well as the transmission of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. However, Phase III HIV clinical trials were cancelled in January of 2007 due to a higher than expected incidence of HIV. The New England Journal of Medicine recently published a report on the Phase III trial data indicating that product adherence was low among participants and concluded that cellulose sulphate may not have increased HIV transmission after all but also may not have an HIV preventative effect.  In an article published in Obstetrics and Gynecology in March 2008, the lead researchers were quoted byReuters Health as affirming that “Cellulose sulphate gel appears to be an effective vaginal contraceptive without many side effects" with data showing an approximate 96% effectiveness rate of pregnancy prevention when the product was used as directed. The researchers added, “With time and further research, this vaginal contraceptive may become an alternative to the nonoxynol-9 based contraceptive gels currently available in the U.S.” The Company never received any financial gain from this project, and as a result, there is no immediate or direct effect on sales or revenues. Management intends to pursue the development of cellulose sulphate as a contraceptive.

Cellulose sulphate has also been tested for its effect on bacterial vaginosis (BV). In 2007, the report outlining results from a BV trial concluded that although efficacy of cellulose sulphate in prevention of BV was not significant, there were significant questions about patient behavior and product adherence in that trial as well. At this time management is not seeking to pursue continued development of cellulose sulphate for prevention of BV.

The decrease in net loss for the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2009, as compared to the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2008, is a result of improved gross margins, a deferred income tax recovery, and decreased expenses partially offset by decreased investment income experienced during these periods. Expenses during the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2008 were reduced by $77,073, which was due to the collection of the cash surrender value of a life insurance policy during that period.

The sales decrease for the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2009 compared to the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to decreased demand, offset by price increases implemented by management subsequent to those periods.

The increase in gross margin for the second quarter and the year to date of fiscal year 2009 compared to the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2008 is primarily due to several factors throughout both quarters of fiscal year 2009. First, as mentioned above, sales pricing was increased by management.  Second, the Company experienced increased sales of higher margin powder products during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Third, management has been successful in continuing to reduce various direct production costs, especially utilities, equipment repairs and supplies, and sludge removal. These improvements were partially offset by the continued rise of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar throughout this period, since production is based at the Dextran Products Limited facility in Toronto, Canada.

The decrease during the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2009 in selling, promotion, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a general decrease in the expenses of the Company, offset by the continued increase in the value of the Canadian dollar as mentioned above, compared to the second quarter and year to date of fiscal 2008. These reductions included legal, insurance, consulting and reporting costs, and are a result of the continued focus by management to minimize this cost center.

Research and development expenditures have been reduced considerably in the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2009 compared to the same periods for fiscal year 2008, primarily as a result of the cessation of activities related to the Phase III clinical trials for Ushercell announced in January 2007. Expenditures incurred in the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2009 are for legal expenses related to maintaining protection for the Company’s various existing patents.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2009 compared to the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2008 resulted primarily from assets acquired subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, as well as the increase in the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar during that same period. Significant asset acquisitions related to the plant refurbishment have not been put into service and are therefore not yet being depreciated.

Interest expense for the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2009 decreased from the comparative amounts for the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2008 primarily due to the lower interest rates incurred on the shareholder loan, as well as the decreasing balances due on the longterm debt.

The foreign exchange gain for the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2009 compared to the loss for the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2008 was due to the small increase in value of the United States dollar compared to the Canadian dollar.

The loss in interest and other income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to recognition of the loss on investments that was previously carried in Accumulated and other comprehensive income. Investment income for the second quarter and the year to date of fiscal year 2009 also decreased due to the decrease in the investments available for sale and cash equivalents. The second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2008 also included the redemption of the cash surrender value of an insurance policy that was no longer required.

Provision for
(recovery of) income
taxes	$(57,141)	–	–	$(57,141)	–	–

The tax recovery for the second quarter and year to date ended July 31, 2008 results from the reversal of the deferred tax provision previously carried as an other liability on the balance sheet, and which was no longer required due to the availability of the Company’s carryforward of unused tax losses, and tax credits arising from unused research and development expenditures. The Canadian operations continue to have significant research and development tax pools to offset current taxes payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $153,584, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $468,570 at January 31, 2008.  In the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company utilized cash of $268,040 in its operating activities, compared to utilizing cash of $619,577 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.  The decrease in cash from operations during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to the loss from operations during the period, as well as the increase in receivables and inventory. Depreciation continues to be a large non-cash expense of the Company. 

The Company’s working capital remained consistent with the year ended January 31, 2008 at $2,403,855, while the working capital ratio of 2.89 to 1 as of July 31, 2008, declined compared to 3.43 to 1 as of January 31, 2008.

Management expects the primary source of its future capital needs to be a combination of company earnings, cash on hand and borrowings. 

As of July 31, 2008, the Company had accounts receivable of $951,381 and inventory of $2,000,941, compared to $611,975 and $1,350,490 respectively at January 31, 2008 and $859,308 and $1,530,111 respectively at July 31, 2007.  The increase in accounts receivable is due to the timing of customer payments, while the increase in inventory is due primarily to the production of finished goods for shipment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.

6

At July 31, 2008, the Company had accounts payable of $538,600 compared to $399,820 at January 31, 2008 and $721,298 at July 31, 2007.  The increase in accounts payable was due to the timing of supplier payments. 

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, capital expenditures totaled $22,881, as compared to $351,578 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. The expenditures for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 were primarily for construction costs relating to the plant refurbishment, which is now substantially complete, and expects capital expenditures to substantially decrease during the remainder of fiscal year 2009.

The change in accumulated other comprehensive income of the Company is primarily attributable to the currency translation adjustment of Dextran Products.  Dextran Products’ functional currency is the Canadian dollar, which has slightly depreciated compared to the United States dollar during the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2008.  This currency translation adjustment arises from the translation of Dextran Products’ financial statements to U.S. dollars.

Dextran Products has a Cdn. $250,000 (U.S. $244,140) operating line of credit, of which Cdn $ 200,000 (U.S. $195,314) was utilized at July 31, 2008 and none as at January 31, 2008.  This line of credit bears interest at the Canadian banks’ prime lending rate plus 0.75% (July 31, 2007 – 5.50.%; January 31, 2008 – 6.50%). Subsequent to July 31, 2008, the interest rate on the line of credit was increased to prime plus 1%. In May 2006, a fixed term rate loan of Cdn. $500,000 (U.S. $468,700) was obtained to fund capital purchases. The interest rate is 0.75% over Canadian bank prime lending rate (6.95%). Bank indebtedness is collateralized by a general security agreement over the Company’s assets and a collateral mortgage of Cdn. $500,000 on the Dextran Products building in Toronto.  The line of credit is used periodically by the Company to cover temporary short-term Canadian dollar cash needs.  For these short-term cash needs, the interest expense on the cred it line is typically less than the transaction costs incurred in selling short-term investments.

The decrease in long-term debt and capital lease obligations from January 31, 2008 is due to repayments during the period.

Changes in the relative values of the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar occur from time to time and may, in certain instances, materially affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company does not believe that the impact of inflation has had a material effect on its operations or financial results at any time in the last three years.

Related Party Transactions

In August 1997, the Company loaned the late Thomas C. Usher, its Vice-Chairman, Director of Research and Development, a member of its Board of Directors and the beneficial owner of greater than 5% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, $691,500 at an interest rate equal to the prime rate of Toronto Dominion Bank plus 1.50% (the “Loan”).  The Loan was used to partially fund a $1,000,000 payment to the State of Florida in order to allow Thomas C. Usher to regain possession of 430,000 Common Shares of the Company then held by the State as collateral security relating to the liquidation of insurance companies formerly owned by Thomas C. Usher.  Repayment of the Loan is accomplished by periodic payments and, in the past, bonus payments, if any, granted to Thomas C. Usher as an employee of the Company.  The amount outstanding under the Loan as of July 31, 2008 was $307,563, as compared to $297,321 at January 31, 2008, including accrued interest.  The Company h as taken a cumulative provision of $323,490 against accrued interest on this loan at July 31, 2008, and January 31, 2008. Obligations with respect to the Loan transferred to the estate of Thomas C. Usher upon his death in February 2005.

7

In August 1999, Thomas C. Usher personally assumed all of the assets and liabilities of Novadex Corp., including the balance of receivables (the “Receivables”) due to the Company from Novadex Corp.  The Receivables have no specific repayment terms.  The total outstanding amount of the Receivables as of July 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008 was $60,339. The Company continues to be obligated to make royalty payments to Mr. Usher’s estate pursuant to intellectual property license agreements, and intends to continue to offset such payments against the Receivables. Thomas C. Usher also owed $250,000 to a subsidiary of the Company, Novadex International Limited, as of July 31, 2008, pursuant to a non-interest bearing loan with no specific repayment terms.  The outstanding amount of this loan has not changed from January 31, 2008. The amounts continue to remain owing from the estate of Thomas C. Usher upon his death on February 26, 2005.

As of July 31, 2008, Thomas C. Usher, now through his estate, had pledged 270,763 common shares of the Company as security for these amounts owing to the Company.  These common shares had a market value of $186,826 at July 31, 2008, based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market on July 31, 2008. The Company intends to continue to hold the remaining pledged assets as collateral until the amounts owing discussed above are repaid.

The Company had a commitment to pay an amount equal to one year’s salary, $110,000, to Thomas C. Usher’s estate. The amount owing on this commitment as at July 31, 2008 is $36,908.

The Company also has an outstanding loan payable to Ruth Usher, a former director and the widow of Thomas C. Usher.  The amount due from the Company pursuant to this loan decreased to $632,450 at July 31, 2008 from $658,569 at January 31, 2008 due to monthly payments by the Company, less interest charges.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, applied on a consistent basis.  The critical accounting policies include the use of estimates of allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful lives of assets and the realizability of deferred tax assets.  The Company’s accounting policies with respect to the Sparhawk Joint Venture and its disposition are also discussed below.

8

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions, in preparing the consolidated financial statements, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods.  The actual results could differ from these estimates.  Significant estimates made by management include the calculation of reserves for uncollectible accounts, inventory allowances, useful lives of long-lived assets and the realizability of deferred tax assets.

Revenue Recognition

Since March 4, 2004, all revenue is from sales of bulk manufactured products and is recognized when title and risk of ownership of products pass to the customer.  Title and risk of ownership pass to the customer pursuant to the applicable sales contract, either upon shipment of product or upon receipt by the customer.  Since returns are rare and generally not accepted, management has not made provision for returns.  In addition, product sold in bulk quantities is tested, prior to release for shipment, to ensure that it meets customer specifications, and in many cases, customers receive samples for their own testing.  Approval is obtained from the customer prior to shipping.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable is stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts.  Allowances for doubtful accounts are determined by each reporting unit on a specific item basis.  Management reviews the credit worthiness of individual customers and past payment history to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Since the majority of sales at Dextran Products are export, Dextran Products maintains credit insurance through a crown corporation which is supported by the Canadian government, for the majority of its customers’ receivables.  There has been no allowance for doubtful accounts during the past two fiscal years.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation or amortization computed using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives ranging from three to fifteen years.  Useful life is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to the Company’s future cash flows.  A significant change in estimated useful lives could have a material impact on the results of operations.  The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including buildings, equipment and other intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.  The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recoverthe carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted andwithout interest charges) of the related operations.  If these cash flows are less than thecarrying value of s uch asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference betweenestimated fair value and carrying value.  The measurement of impairment requires management tomake estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets as well as other fair valuedeterminations.

9

Deferred Tax Assets

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets where there is uncertainty as to the ultimate realization of the future tax deduction.  Dextran Products has incurred capital losses, which are only deductible against capital gains.  It is not certain that Dextran Products will realize capital gains in the future to use these Canadian capital loss deductions.

The Joint Venture

In 1992, Vet Labs, a subsidiary of Chemdex, Inc. and Sparhawk entered into a Joint Venture for the manufacture and sale of veterinary pharmaceutical products.  Vet Labs and Sparhawk each owned 50% of the Joint Venture during its operation.

On January 13, 2004, the Company, Chemdex and Vet Labs entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Sparhawk.  Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell substantially all of the assets of Vet Labs, including its interest in the Joint Venture, to Sparhawk for $5,500,000 in cash.  Effective March 4, 2004, this sale was completed and a gain of $1,859,471 was recognized.  Simultaneously with the closing, Chemdex advanced $350,000 to Sparhawk in exchange for an unsecured subordinated promissory note bearing interest at 13% per annum and a warrant to purchase 4% of the equity of Sparhawk. On May 31, 2006, payment in full for principal and interest of the promissory note was received. The warrant expired at the earlier of payment in full of the promissory note or March 4, 2014, and therefore expired before it could be exercised.  Chemdex also entered into a supply agreement with Sparhawk to supply ferric hydroxide and hydrogenated dextran solution to Sp arhawk on an exclusive basis in the United States for 10 years.  

Since Sparhawk was thinly capitalized and highly leveraged, the Company had deferred $350,000 of the gain relating to the promissory note receivable from Sparhawk. Since payment in full on the promissory note was received on May 31, 2006, the deferred gain of $350,000 was recognized at April 30, 2006 and included in other income on the statement of operations.

Changes in Accounting Policies

No changes in accounting principles or their application have been implemented in the reporting period that would have a material effect on reported income.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

The Company’s operations consist primarily of manufacturing activities located in Toronto, Canada.  The Company’s products are sold in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim.  

While the majority of the sales of Dextran Products, the Company’s Canadian operation, are denominated in United States dollars, the majority of its expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars.  The majority of the assets and liabilities of Dextran Products are denominated in Canadian dollars prior to the currency translation adjustment necessary for preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company contained in this report. When the Canadian dollar rises in value relative to the United States dollar, the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of Dextran Products as stated in United States dollars increases.  A rise in the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar also results in a decrease in gross margins and net income of Dextran Products.  Dextran Products also experiences a foreign exchange loss when the Canadian dollar rises in relation to the United States dollar because it has a net asset exposure to the United States dollar resultin g from accounts receivables denominated in United States dollars exceeding United States dollar denominated payables.  Similarly, a decline in the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar results in a foreign exchange gain and increased gross margins and net income at Dextran Products.

Management monitors currency fluctuations to ensure that an acceptable margin level at Dextran Products is maintained.  Management has the ability, to some extent, to adjust sales prices to maintain an acceptable margin level.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company has interest earning assets consisting of investment grade short-term commercial paper and medium-term fixed income instruments.  A significant portion of the Company’s debt is at fixed rates.  The variable rate debt represents the shareholder loan payable, which is partially offset by the shareholder loan receivable.  Both of these financial instruments carry the same interest rate.  As such, the Company has no significant risk exposure to changes in interest rates.

The Company completed an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis of material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in its periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the Company’s fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
