The Board of Directors
Silipos, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Silipos, Inc. and subsidiary as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Silipos, Inc. and subsidiary as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective April 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and changed its method of accounting for goodwill in 2003.

Silipos, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2004 and 2003
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
(a) Description of Business
Silipos, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) is a designer, manufacturer and distributor of gel-based products that target three market segments: (i) orthopedics, (ii) skincare, and (iii) prosthetics. Established in 1989 and headquartered in the United States, Silipos currently operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of SSL International, PLC (the Ultimate Parent), a global manufacturer and distributor of healthcare, household, and industrial products, with headquarters in the United Kingdom. Silipos' products are sold in more than 60 countries. The Company has approximately 108 full-time employees operating out of its two main facilities in Niagara Falls, N.Y. and New York, N.Y.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Silipos, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Silipos (UK) Limited (Subsidiary). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c) Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(d) Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and known credit risks related to specific customers. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts periodically. Past-due balances over 60 days are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
(e) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method for all inventories.
(f) Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments.
Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Plant and equipment held under capital leases are amortized straight line over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.
(g) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 142,Goodwill
8
and Other Intangible Assets, as of April 1, 2002. Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 142. FASB Statement No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB Statement No. 144,Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
In connection with FASB Statement No. 142's transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, the statement required the Company to perform an assessment of whether there was an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this, the Company was required to identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of April 1, 2002. The Company was required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit within six months of April 1, 2002. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company would be required to perform the second step of the transitional impairment test, as this is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired. The second step was required for the Company's only reporting unit. In this step, the Company compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill, both of which were measured as of the date of adoption. The implied fair value of goodwill was determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with FASB No. 141,Business Combinations. The residual fair value after this allocation was the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. The carrying amount of this reporting unit's goodwill exceeded its implied fair value and the Company recognized an impairment loss of $14,132,353 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
(h) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets represents a Patent License Agreement between the Company and the developer of gel technology utilized by the Company and is being amortized over the estimated life of the patent.
(i) Advertising Costs and Vendor Consideration
Advertising and promotion expenses are charged to earnings during the period in which they are incurred and totaled $1,601,909 and $792,826 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company accounts for sales incentives which include discounts, coupons, co-operative advertising, and free products or services in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.Generally, cash consideration is to be classified as a reduction of net sales, unless specific criteria are met regarding goods or services that a vendor may receive in return for this consideration. The Company's consideration given to customers does not meet these conditions and, accordingly, is classified as a reduction to revenue.
9
(j) Research and Development
Research and development expenses are charged to earnings during the period in which they are incurred and totaled $433,771 and $406,260 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
(k) Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the operations of Silipos (UK) Limited is the U.S dollar. Foreign currency balances of Silipos (UK) Limited have been remeasured to U.S. dollars at the current rate at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are measured at average rates in effect during the periods. Gains or losses on foreign currency remeasurement are included in the results of operations in the year incurred.
(l) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company is part of a consolidated group that joins in the filing of income tax returns. These consolidated financial statements are being prepared on a stand alone basis.
(m) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and 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 period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment; intangibles and goodwill; and valuation allowances for receivables, inventories, and deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(n) Comprehensive Income
No statements of comprehensive income have been included in the accompanying financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, since the Company does not have any "other comprehensive income" to report.
(o) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 144 on April 1, 2002. The adoption of FASB Statement No. 144 did not affect the Company's financial statements.
In accordance with FASB No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
10
to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, and is tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset's fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141,Business Combinations. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.
(p) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on sales when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss.
(q) Shipping and Handling
All amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction relating to shipping and handling, if any, represent revenue earned for the goods provided and are classified as revenue. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
(r) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management of the Company believes that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, affiliate payables and receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are reasonable approximations of their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the amounts due to and from the Ultimate Parent and capital lease obligations approximates fair value since the rates for the majority of these instruments are at rates currently offered to the Company.
(s) Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs not within the scope of FASB Statement No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
11
(t) Risks and Uncertainties
Three customers accounted for approximately 35% of the Company's sales and 28% of the Company's trade accounts receivables as of and for the year ended March 31, 2004. The loss of one of these customers could have an adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable, but management attempts to mitigate the risk of nonpayment through the maintenance of adequate allowances for potential credit losses and the performance of ongoing credit evaluations.
(2) Inventories

| | Net deferred tax asset | | $ | 2,507,562 | | 2,439,010 | |

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at March 31, 2004. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

In April 2002 in settlement of a patent dispute, the Company signed a Patent License Agreement (the Agreement). The Agreement covered the current and future use of the technology to which the patent relates. During the year ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded a charge of $1,000,000 for its past use of the patent, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company estimated that the patent had an original life of 15 years; however, at the time the Agreement was signed, the Company had effectively been utilizing the technology to which the patent relates during the prior five years. Therefore, as of April 2002, the Company began amortizing the patent over the estimated remaining life of 10 years.
The Agreement also included a provision for the Company's past use of the patented technology, which indicated that the Company was liable for 6% of all past sales of gel products utilizing the patented technology. However, one third of the liability will be forgiven annually commencing on November 30, 2001, provided the Company fully and faithfully discharges all obligations undertaken by it in the Agreement for a period of at least three years. In the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Company would be liable for 6% of all past sales less the fraction of the royalties forgiven each year the Company performed under the Agreement.
Amortization expense for amortizing intangible assets was $211,067 and $1,211,069 for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years is $211,067.
Goodwill
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:
Balance as of April 1, 2002 | | $ | 26,746,328 | |
Impairment loss | | | (17,621,984 | ) |
| |
| |
Balance as of March 31, 2003 | | | 9,124,344 | |
Impairment loss | | | (9,124,344 | ) |
| |
| |
Balance as of March 31, 2004 | | $ | — | |
| |
| |
Upon adoption of FASB Statement No. 142, the Company was required to evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform to the new classification criteria in FASB Statement No. 141 for recognition separate from goodwill. The Company also was required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption. The Company was required to test goodwill for impairment as of April 1, 2002 and annually thereafter, in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 142. As noted in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, this analysis required the Company to recognize an impairment loss of $14,132,353 on adoption.
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, the Company performed its annual impairment tests as of March 31, 2004 and 2003. Consequently, impairment losses of $9,124,344 and $3,489,631 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, were recognized since the carrying amount of the reporting units was greater than
17
the fair value of the reporting units and the carrying amount of each reporting unit's goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of that goodwill.
(9) Capital Contribution
On April 1, 2003, the Company's immediate parent contributed to the Company 100% of the outstanding common shares of Silipos UK Limited with a carrying value of $1,403,786. The results of Silipos UK's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Silipos UK is a distributor of the Company's products in the United Kingdom.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Put Option
In accordance with the Supply Agreement (the Supply Agreement) between the Company and its primary gel supplier (the Supplier) the Company is subject to a put option (the Option). The Supply Agreement grants the Supplier an irrevocable right and option to cause the Company to purchase the assets or shares of the Supplier. The option is exercisable at any time from and after August 20, 2004 and prior to February 16, 2005. The purchase price is calculated as 1.5 times the revenue of the Supplier from sales of gel to the Company during the 12-month period ending on the last day of the month next preceding the date of exercise of the Option. As of March 31, 2004, the purchase price of the Supplier in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement would be approximately $3,874,000.
License Agreement
The Company is a party to a License Agreement, which grants the Company certain exclusive and non-exclusive rights to both manufacture and sell certain products that are covered by certain patents that are not owned by the Company. During the initial term of the License Agreement, which expires on June 15, 2005, the Company is subject to royalty payments in the amount of 4% of the net sales
18
price of each Silipos product sold covered by one of the patents noted in the License Agreement. Subsequent to the initial term, the Company is still subject to a 4% royalty until such time as the applicable patents expire or the termination of the respective license granted in the License Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provisions in the License Agreement, the Company's total royalty payment for each successive twelve-month period during the initial term of the License Agreement will be at least $100,000, and $112,500 after the initial term. Royalties expense was $791,000 and $785,000 for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
(11) Subsequent Event (Unaudited)
On September 30, 2004, all of the Company's outstanding stock was acquired by Langer, Inc. The sales price received was $15.5 Million and was comprised of $5.0 Million of cash received at closing, a $7.5 Million Note and a $3.0 Million Note. The sales price is subject to reduction based upon adjustments to tangible net worth, as defined, at September 30, 2004.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Matters
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.

- (m)
- Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company is part of a consolidated group that joins in a filing of income tax returns. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a stand alone basis.
- (n)
- Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and 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 period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment; intangibles and goodwill; and valuation allowances for receivables, inventories and deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
- (o)
- Comprehensive Income
No statements of comprehensive income have been included in the accompanying financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, since the Company does not have any "other comprehensive income" to report.
- (p)
- Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by
25
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, and is tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset's fair value. This determination is made at the reporting level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with FASB Statement No 141,Business Combinations. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.

- (t)
- Risks and Uncertainties
Three customers accounted for approximately 29% of the Company's sales and 49% of the Company's trade accounts receivable as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2004. The loss of one of these customers could have an adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable, but management attempts to mitigate the risk of nonpayment through the maintenance of adequate allowances for potential credit losses and the performance of ongoing credit evaluations.
