NOTES TO CONDENSED PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS These condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule 1 of Regulation S-X, as the restricted net assets of Charles River Laboratories Inc. exceed 25% percent of the consolidated net assets of Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (the Parent Company). As disclosed in note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in order to repay its obligations, the Parent Company is dependent upon either dividends from Charles River Laboratories, Inc., which are restricted by terms contained in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes and the senior secured credit facility, or through a refinancing or equity transaction. The Parent Company's 100% investment in Charles River Laboratories Inc. has been recorded using the equity basis of accounting in the accompanying condensed parent company financial statements. The condensed income statement and statement of cash flows are presented for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2000 and for the three month period ended December 25, 1999, as the dividend restrictions and the current capital structure of the Parent Company were created as a result of the recapitalization transaction more fully described in note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. There were no cash dividends paid to the Parent Company by Charles River Laboratories Inc. during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2000 or the three-month period ended December 25, 1999.

The number of shares includes the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters. The Company received proceeds of $235,964, net of underwriter's commissions and offering costs.
